Publisher's summary

She’s forbidden. Too young, too pure, and not mine. I’ll break all the rules to be with her. She belongs to me, even if she doesn't know it yet.

He’s taboo. Too old, too experienced, and my stepfather. I’ll cross every line to be with him. He's not mine and never will be.

It’s not about the danger of what's forbidden, it’s about the pleasure we get from it.

All consequences be damned.

Still shocked

This is a crazy far out story. The story once I got into it kept my interest! The narration wasn’t horrible but thought a younger voice would have been better.

Taboo romance.

This book is dark and dirty and sexy and confusing. Silas is totally attracted to Leah at first sight and she's attracted to him too. But she's just 13 and he's the same age as her mother they don't act on that attraction for awhile. Then she realizes that Braxton is in love with her and she's attracted to him too. Whoa! This story is well thought out the characters are strong and overall this book is a fabulous listen. The narrator's with the perfect accents they make the books well worth it. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer

Taboo is an understatement

This book was quick and very enjoyable. These characters cover a lot of ground and there are lots of unexpected twists, turns and mystery. The story is a little dark, very romantic and taboo, taboo, taboo. The narrators do an amazing job, especially with bilingual characters. I wish I spoke Spanish so I could understand the few phrase that were not translated. I recommend if you enjoy books that are a little unique, dirty and unconventional. - Audiobook Obsession Reviewer xoxo

Steamy

This is a very steamy taboo romance. I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series. This book really rides the line between having enough of a story line to steamy scenes.

Taboo at It's Finest!!!

This is a first book in a series, this book was so good. C.L. Matthews gives just enough for the listener to be craving more. It is a taboo story of a young lady who has a crush on her fathers best friend who becomes her step father. It is naughty and of so good!!!! The narrators Lacy and Aaron do a fabulous job. I'm from Oklahoma, but Aaron's Puerto Rican accent sounds so good. Can't wait for the rest of the story, I know there has to be lots of twist and turns coming.

Taboo romance

Firsts is a taboo romance, it pushes the limits in a great way. I was completely pulled into the story and didn't want to put it down. There's a couple parts i'd change but overall I really enjoyed the story and can't wait for more.
The narrators did a great job, they brought passion and did a great job with accents.

Hot Taboo

Holy Smokes , Batman! First is a hot AF listening experience! Lacy Laurel and Aaron Shedlock are the dream couple of narrators.

FIRST it's a passionate , fast paced and intense story; about Leia ; an almost 18 years old and Silas , a 32 years old family friend turned step-dad few weeks before her 18 birthday.

The story it's told in dual POV and it helps as we experience , hear and feel the heroine youth, inexperienced and struggles. As for the hero, we hear his determination, need to protect and obsession with his girl. It's hinted all throughout the book that, there are things and actions that took place and are developing within Leia's family and close friends that might put her and her mother in danger .

The books deals with parents having kids at a very young age, multi-cultural upbringing, parents neglect and a love triangle. Overall , this is a solid , entertaining , erotic listen. Be aware, this book ends in a cliffhanger.

If under 18 years old, have triggers and don't like age gap romance this story is not for you.

H O T

All I have to say is WOW. This story was erotic and intense! Definitely forbidden between stepfather and step daughter. Some people may not be into this kind if story but is it bad that i was rooting for Silas. Definetly an Anti Hero and loved it!
Both narrators did a great job. Loved the Spanish accent Aaron Shedlock rocked!

Age gap, Forbidden

I knew going into this one, that there was an age gap. What got me was this story jumped all over the place. It was hard for me to connect with characters. Hopefully the next book brings it all together.

Lacy and Aaron did a fabulous job narrating!
