“Lead us not into temptation…” Matthew 6:13
What happens when you fall in love with your best friend’s father?
Leah is a good, Catholic girl, and she and Erica have been best friends since their first communion. Sure, Erica’s father is handsome and charming, but Leah spends so much time at the Nolan’s – just Erica and her famous, photographer father now, since Erica’s mother died – that she’s practically part of the family.
Both girls have led privileged, sheltered lives and are on the “good girl” track at St. Mary Magdalene’s Preparatory College, Leah pursuing her love of dance and Erica sating her endless curiosity as editor of the newspaper. Neither of them could have ever imagined that one fateful discovery will not only push the boundaries of their strict, repressive upbringing, but the bonds of their friendship as well.
Leah certainly never could have imagined finding herself torn between her best friend and her best friend’s father. Sure, Leah’s mother had always talked about Mr. Nolan as “a catch,” but Leah herself had never thought of him as anything other than just Erica’s dad – until the girls discover something darkly erotic under Mr. Nolan’s bed, a deep, shameful secret that will not only lead them into temptation, but will deliver them into a far greater revelation than any of them could ever have imagined.
Loved the time shift! Fabulous re-write of an already brilliant work! Taboo constructs in fiction do it for me. All the way, all the time, no questions asked: I’m in if it’s taboo in more cultures than not.Â
Tasty Twisted taboo I read the original UMNB and really enjoyed it. This re-vision of it is not as enjoyable for me. It is more a 3.5 rating than 4 star. Here’s why. The original story is a contemporary setting. This was quite enjoyable for me. The sex was hot the f/f plus incest was written in a way that was understandable.Â
SLIGHTLY TABOO, TOTALLY HOT! There is no doubt about it; author Selena Kitt is the Queen of Taboo! I started reading Kitt’s stories back in 2010 and when it comes to taboo topics, her work is the gold standard, in my opinion.Â
