I received a copy of this book via Netgalley.

Loved it. I liked the taboo reads and this was pretty fun to read. It was short and crisp. There was no dragging the plot unnecessarily which I truly appreciated. And the *ahem ahem* star of teh show shone brightly :p Definetly recommends it if you need a quick standalone to get your dopamine high.

10 out of 10 !!!! i recommend this book to so many others and i’m waiting for the next. The main characters growth with her “issues” had me so excited.

Quick read, age gap romance spicy read. Thank you netgalley and author for an arc for a response. SIlmilar vibe of The Birthday girl by Penelope Douglas.

This was a very quick read, short, sweet and spicy. There aren’t any heavy emotions or complicated plot, it’s a pretty easy, light read. In this one, the best friend is actually pushing for her dad and friend to be together, something I’ve never seen before. Logan has quite the mouth on him and I found myself affected by his words like it was me he was talking to

it was good i just didnt enjoy the amount of times she called him daddy. it was too much. i know some people are into that so maybe thats more about me than the book but it just made me cringe, but the book was good thiough

Thank You to NetGalley and Setta Jay for this ARC. Despite its short length this book had so much spice and great characters. I loved how their desires continued to grow towards each other. Such a fast paced read! I read this book in one sitting I couldn’t put it down!

I am not a fan of age gap romances... but this was so well written. I also loved that even if she was kind of shy, she knew what she wanted and she could say it. Talking about sex, at least in Peru where I live, it's difficult, specially if you are a woman. I would love to read more of your books... but I would like them to be chunkier.

Thank you for letting me read this book NetGalley, publisher and author.

This book is a daddy erotica. She has a crush on her best friends dad and he’s happy to show her the ropes.

Daddy/sweetheart used a lot. Quite realistic which is a pleasant read as it’s not too far fetched to enjoy. This is a virgin with fantasies romance erotica so if you don’t like losing virginity tropes then I’d avoid this.

She’s soft and naive and he’s the typical softer side of daddy. It’s an enjoyable read and is pretty much what it says on the cover.

Thanks again!

Steamy age gap romance novella...slight kink tilt. Writing style was good, length was about perfect for a quick read.

Well hot DAMN, that was a quick sweet, steamy read. Definitely never disappointed when I read anything from this author. Enjoyed every page, I will admit I was a little skeptical about the “Daddy” theme, but this was very tame and just perfect for my comfort level. Did I mention so sexy hot!!!

I really liked how short and sweet this was, it perfectly fit the story. My only complaint was how often “daddy” was used. I felt like there was a perfect amount of spice. I read this in one sitting because I was so invested. Such a good telling of the best friends dad trope.

Eva has been in love with her best friend's father for as long as she can remember, but Logan has always had one rule - never to date anyone close to his daughter's age. So when she ask him to take her V card he denied her tell her no. So she decide to go to a sex club where your fantasy come true and her is daddy kink taking care of her. So when. So when Logan daughter tell him what she planning to do he changes his mind and the sex is so hot, so hot. it's a short novella.

Um yes. A million times yes. This is just my trope - age gap! First book from this author Setta Jay, thoughts - she did well. I hope the next ones in the series don't get repetitive and she's a one show woman.

Thank you for allowing me an advanced readers copy for an honest review.

Take Me To Your Best Friend’s House: A Dad’s Best Friend Novella
Setta Jay

This isa an older male and younger female romance.
Eva wants her dad’s best friend Logan. She knows he is off limits but she wants him and only him. Logan is attracted to her but he never dates a woman that young, besides she is his daughter’s best friend and her father is his best friend. Eva can’t think of anyone else. In an effort to get him off her mind she decides to go to a club where a “daddy” might take her mind off of Logan by giving her what she craves.
When Logan finds out what Eva has planned, he knows he can’t allow her to go to that type of club. He will do what he must to protect her, even if it means being her daddy.
This book sizzles.

An incredible novella filled with chemistry and spice. I love the build-up and tension between the characters and their boundaries and watching them slowly fade. I would have loved it if this book one alternating POVs but I quickly got over that with the writing style. I couldn't put it down. 10/10 would recommend. Especially before bedtime, thank me later!

in this novella, Eva has been in love with her best friend's father for a few years. Her best friend, Kate, gives her "permission" and encourages the two of them to get together. The majority of the book is Eva and Logan in a rented mansion for a week.

It took me quite a few pages to even know who the main character was, as I believe 3 different women were discussed (maybe just 2) at length, at a pool party. Then all a sudden Kate was encouraging her father to deflower her best friend, Eva.

The mansion scenes were at first graphic (it is clearly erotica) but then glossed over which was kind of weird. I never really got attached to any of the characters. This book seemed like it was trying to be "Your Dad will Do", the archetype of this genre, and failed miserably. I've definitely read similar books on Kindle Unlimited, which were okay, but not compelling enough to continue reading a series.

I received an advanced copy and am giving an honest review.

I really wish I had some great, elioquent review of Take Me To Your Best Friend's House, but honestly, all I can say is I freaking LOVED it.

My first Setta Jay book, I knew I was going to be hooked from page one. I LOVED the unique spin on the usual Dad's Best Friend Trope in how it was combined with a Best Friend's Dad trope. Yep, Logan is not only Eva's dad's best friend, he is also the dad of HER best friend Kate! What's even more refreshing, is from the get-go, Kate was supportive of pushing her father and best friend at one another!

This book was sexy and steamy in all the best ways. Perhaps the only downside is that you'll be singing the song the book is named after on repeat in your head for days after putting down the book.

Total five star read and I cannot wait to go back through Setta Jay's backlist!

Eva has been in love with her dad’s best friend since she was a teenager. Logan is everything she craves. He’s smart, successful, kind, and mind-numbingly hot—no matter that he’s nearly twice her age. Her relentless obsession has kept her from wanting anyone else, and her fantasies have twisted until all she can imagine is him slipping into her room at night to do dirty things to her. Knowing she desperately needs to get over Logan, she schedules an appointment at a club where a “daddy” might fulfill all her fantasies and end her fixation on the one man she can never have. Logan’s number one rule is never to date a woman closer to his daughter’s age than to his own. No matter how much Eva tempts him, she can never be anything more than the sweet girl he looks out for now that her parents have moved away. But when Logan’s daughter shares the details of what innocent Eva has planned, he’s faced with the choice to break his number one rule and betray his best friend or allow Eva to do something that could put her in harm’s way. Can he be her “daddy” for a night, or will crossing that line lead to more than he bargained for?

This is a short but hot read. Logan and Eva have some insane chemistry once he finally gets past the age difference. And it was most definitely hot. The Daddy kink is on the light side, but I actually prefer that. Not that a full on Daddy book isn't good, but it's not my full on kink. The characters were likable and the story was also good, I just wish it had been longer. The ending seemed a little rushed just due to the length of the story. Otherwise, I was completely into it!

Review:

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for approving my first ARC. This is an arc review🩷

Take Me to Your Best Friend's House by Setta Jay is Book 1 in the Mmm, Daddy, Daddy series, which seems to be shaping up to be a series of standalone contemporary taboo-esque erotic romances in a shared universe.

Our FMC Eva has been in love, and in lust, with her best friend’s dad, our MMC Logan, for most of her young adult life. Now 21 years, still a virgin, and seemingly no closer to making any sort of headway with Logan, Eva decides enough is enough and plots to lose her virginity and then attend sessions at a local sex club, where she’ll be able to explore her uncharted-until-now Daddy kink fantasies. But when Logan gets wind of the plan, he knows that if Eva wants a Daddy for a week to sate her curiosity, it’ll be him or no one.

I think this is a great novella if you’re looking for a beginner’s exploration of the Daddy kink in spice. It highlighted it in a general and recreational way, where it was posed as a fun element added to sex versus following a set of rules or guidelines, such as full-blown domination/submission. I wouldn’t even classify this as BDSM-type smut. Eva preferred the Daddy kink in name, as well as the lighter parts of it like a focus on dirty talk and good girl praise, rather than punishments or pain-pleasure play. Logan also touched on his enjoyment of the post-caretaking aspect. There was also a spicy scene that had anal play.

While the premise itself touched on a slightly taboo-esque romance, I never felt that sense of true forbidden-ness while reading, which I know a lot of readers enjoy in this genre. So, if you’re looking for a true taboo romance where things really feel illicit and forbidden, this wouldn’t be it. But as I said with the Daddy kink, if you’re just dipping your toes in a taboo exploration, this could be a good starting place.

I understand with the constraint of ~100 pages there’s only so much you can include; I really wish we would’ve gotten more initial build-up between Eva and Logan. I really wanted to feel the tension, feel the mutual pining, feel the “it’s so obvious why don’t they just fuck” energy, but I didn’t get those vibes until after the actual physical attraction was consummated. The lead up to sex or to a relationship, the push/pull dynamics, can be just as delicious as the act or relationship itself. And while the sex here was hot without being overly dirty or drawn out, I would’ve appreciated a bit more time on the build-up. Maybe even a flashback or two to have gotten a sense of how Eva and Logan interact with each other normally, to see the mutual pining in action, so that when they did ultimately come together, the reader could appreciate it in all its glory. So, I definitely think with more character backstory, tension, and description language, this could’ve also worked as a full length novel.

The ending and epilogue also felt a little rushed, but definitely will chalk that up to page count.

But reviewing it for the novella that it is, this was a fun read that explored the lighter side of Daddy kink. If you’re a romance reader that doesn’t like to go from 0-100 but also does enjoy a twinge of taboo/kink, this can be a great read for you🩷
