4.5 'twisted-love' stars ⭐️
Off Limits is the taboo love story of twin brothers Christian and Jack, who've been inseparable since birth.
Dirty ✔️
Twisted ✔️
Sexy ✔️
That's what the blurb promises, and it's exactly what you get!
The instant my eyes settled on Christian, my breath caught sharply in my throat, as my eyes roamed over his body, gazing for the first time in over a year at their one true obsession.
This book even delivered on the angst. So many feels! Also, the twist at the end makes my dark heart so damn happy.
My first read by this author, and it definitely won't be the last.
P.S. Luline, you dark-hearted beauty, thank you so much for bringing this one on my radar ♥️
“My whole heart,” I whispered.
“I have your heart, Chrissy?” His eyes were filled with apprehension and something that looked like love.
“No, Jackie.” I traced his jaw with the fingertips of my free hand. “You are my whole heart.”

He leaned down and kissed me. “You and me, Chrissy. What do you say?”
My breaths were so shallow I almost couldn’t get the words out. “For how long?”
His hand found mine and I almost wept with the rightness of the feeling, his thumb drawing lazy hearts on my palm, his lips brushing over mine.
“For forever.”

3.5 smutty ✨incestuous✨ stars
ngl, some people will find this pretty uncomfortable. this book was straddling the line between non-con and dub-con. if I were a better person i'd honestly consider this coersion. but we all know I'm not.
i enjoyed that specific scene— I enjoy the kink in general 😆. also I enjoyed the twin brother's cunningness... i mean respect 👏👏
what i didnt like was being in the head of the pervert boyfriend of the other twin. everything that ran through his head made my skin crawl. it was fuckin' uncomfortable to say the least.
this was short, it didnt really live up to my standard of amazing twincest but it was fun!... I think.

I read this in one sitting! It was hot and fun with a nice twist to top things off. There were even some surprisingly touching moments between Jack and Christian that had me invested in them working things out. I loved the way it all played out at the end.
Aside from the twincest, there is one scene that may be bordering on dub-con for those who may need to know. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for this type of story.

Lately I've been saying that I don't remember everything about the books I'm reviewing now because I read them months ago.
This is not the case. This was BAD. And not necessarily because of the taboo topic (I also read Rich Kids by Quin-Perin and I liked it enough). This had me constantly cringing and thinking "wtf am I reading". It was brief but it felt endless and I couldn't wait for it to be over.
Until the end, not knowing Christian's POV, despite a few moments in which he seemed a bit intelligent and introspective, the majority of the time (especially when he interacted with the others) he acted like a child or someone with some kind of mental disability, not in control of his will, easily manipulated, incapable of taking care of himself.
For crying out loud, he (for what we knew) believed when Everett told him that "in the UK our clothes don't have tags on them".
And so the fact that both Everett and Jackson lust after him is just plain creepy and disturbing, regardless of the brothers aspect of it all.
Most of the time when I don't like a book, or some aspects of it, I at least find some thing I liked anyway.
This time there was nothing redeeming about it. It was an utter and complete waste of my time. I got absolutely nothing from this. Just bafflement.

That was some fucked up fun!
Jack (20ish) and Everett (36) are in a relationship, Jack and his twin brother Christian have had a falling out, and everyone is together for Christmas. Twincest erotica on Smashwords, 75 pages.
No romcom or pop-culture references at all, just twisted minds and deviants. Loved it.
This is best read without reading spoilers or reviews. If this had been fleshed out into a full-length story with more drawn-out tension and plotting, it would be a solid 5 stars.
Highlights that won't spoil the plot:
• Bloody hell. They weren’t just brothers, they were identical fucking twins.
• “Hey, sexy,” I purred into his ear. And, god, he was, but he didn’t need to know that the erection against his back was born from the mental image of his brother sucking me off.
• All it took were three strokes and I exploded all over my hand, the mental image of Jack watching me fuck his brother implanted in my brain.
• Christian ducks his head and his cheeks turn the most stunning shade of perfect pink.
• He looked like he was fighting tears and my cock became steel in my pants.
• I wrapped him in a big hug, pressing my hard cock into Christian’s body as I tightened my arms around him. “Thank you,” I whispered, my hot breath in his ear.
• I wanted him to remember this forever, or at least long enough for me to get what I wanted from him. He needed to believe I’d take care of him.

Jackson is coming home after a year away and bringing his older boyfriend along. He is dreading seeing his twin, Christian whom he ran from (to another country) for reasons not immediately clear (but, you know, if twincest is your thing, it wont be a shock).
We get all three POVs which is intriguing and the plot didn't quite go where I expected but it was a fun ride.

4.5 ⭐️ is there anyone better writing pervdom-taboo-incest-love stories than Honey London? 🤷🏻♀️🙈 And the twist? I didn’t saw that coming from sweet Chrissy, that took me by surprise 😎 could have been much longer, that’s the only complaint. And Jackie was so caring and protective, ahhh 🩶♥️

Imagine falling in love with someone who looks just like you...that would be the perfect love story! 😝
What I enjoyed most: The codependency between the twins, how sweet and protective their relationship was and the guilt Jack harbors throughout the story. If, like me, there are moments you feel a bit uncomfortable, just keep going.
What I could have done without: Everett, Jack’s boyfriend. I initially liked that we got a point of view from Everett, but he quickly became unlikable because he was excessively creepy and perverted. I understood the purpose he was “supposed” to serve, but the story would’ve been stronger without him or if he had been written differently. Also, I would have liked if the story was just a bit longer so the story could have been a bit more developed, especially in the end.
But it’s meant to be a fun, entertaining short, and I did enjoy the taboo and the crazy twist in the story.

** this is a taboo book. Brothers being together. If that’s a hard no for you. Then I suggest skipping this book.**
This was a quick little read with a nice little twist to it. Jack came home one night drunk. He had been having feelings for his brother Christian. But never crossed the line until that night.
Once morning hit... Jack freaked out and went abroad to go to school. Just dropping all communication with Christian. A year went by. It’s Christmas time and Jack’s parents insisted he come home for the holidays.
Jack wasn’t going to make things easy for himself. He felt extremely bad about that one night. He wanted to be with Christian but he felt he needed to protect his brother from himself. So he brought his boyfriend Everett home with him. Sort of like a barrier between him and his brother.
I liked the little twist from Cristian. It showed a different side of him. And how far he has come since Jack left him for that year. He knew what he wanted and he went for it... and it was Jack.
This was a nice short book. I’ll check out the this authors next book.

That little twist in the third act made me add another star, I wish the author had run more with it...
June 5, 2023
Everett had far too big a role for the book being so short. Whole chapters from his point of view, even though this wasn't really about him? No thanks.
To be honest, I didn't find all the drama around him insanely great. I would have just liked a short, sugary sweet love story between the brothers. Or maybe a much longer book; then Everett and his role in this story wouldn't have bothered me so much.
Other than the fact that Everett was a dick and his character wasted pages in this book, I otherwise quite enjoyed the story. It wasn't necessarily anything new, particularly in relation to the twins (they weren't wildly original in my opinion), but otherwise I don't have too much to complain about in terms of plot (except Everett's plot, of course).
But to be honest, it wasn't really worth reading...

Sexy and short. I was slightly worried going in that Christian was just going to be this shy little boy type. Boy was I wrong in the best possible way. Everett was an asshat and I felt no remorse for how things went with him. Jack was a force to be reckoned with. I only wish this were longer.
March 18, 2021
Everett was a prick so it was nice to see him get what he deserved.
Christian had me worried, I thought he was a doormat but he turned out to be quite devious

Brother knows best
But which brother? A deliciously naughty tale that has some twists you won’t see coming. Or better yet even if you do you’ll thank the author as this story is full of heat and love that will leave you craving more. Hot, sweet, and a little twisted, this is my kind of read.

I know the book’s blurb said something about “not a sweet romance” and “twisted” but this was just dumb and unnecessarily and randomly dark.
Both twins deserve each other. Both are assholes, thieves and just gross. It’s not even the incest, I have read other incest books and I have enjoyed them, but these two just rubbed me the wrong way; their personalities are just trash. If I never read anything based on them again, I would be happy.
The fact that Christian was able to seduce (rape, really) Everrett by passing as Jack and having him give him a blowjob and Jack bursting into the room, discovering and Everrett explaining that he thought it was Jack and Jack didn’t believe him?!?!?? It is said multiple times throughout out the book that these two are identical twins. Absolutely identical twins. It is a believable thing specially when Everrett and Jack have been dating for just a few months (if you can call their relationship “dating”). Christian also hacks into Everrett phone’s and bank account (in a matter of just days, btw. Like it’s that easy. A hack like that takes months and multiple computers.) and nothing, apparently happens. Also apparently, for some fucking reason, Everrett can’t report the obvious rape, hacking and stealing of his money, because Christian says so. Like hacking into a bank account wont leave traces somewhere, specially when it was so badly done that Everrett himself noticed. His bank would have noticed and notify him and the authorities right away. Christian also burns Everrett’s passport which I am pretty sure is illegal. This case prosecutes itself and Christian and Jack would have rotten in prison. This is so dumb lmao.
Jack could have easily just walked away from Everrett with Christian and moved on but nope. He and Christian had to ruin a man’s life for the lolz. There was 0 indication that they were both so dark (Jack was an asshole but that was it) and it took me by surprise and I didn’t enjoy it all. It grossed me out. Christian and Jack are just obsessed with each other, damn the consequences and the lives they ruin along the way.
Everrett wasn’t an angel but this was a bit too much specially when you consider Christian wasn’t in any danger from him to begin with. He wasn’t a drug lord or something, Jack could have simply just... walked away from him. He didn’t even loved him to begin with.
Listen, this book was a bucket of “what the fuck”, “what the fuck does that even mean”, “these two are gross”, “these two are extra gross and, in turn, make ME feel gross”, “that’s not how that works...”, “that would fail to be prosecuted. Your argument will fall apart in a court of law, dumbass...”, etc.

Oddly, it's not the taboo aspect that made this book so cringe-worthy (not sexy. at all). We have one adult MC acting as a five year old (not age play, that's his real personality), and for some reason it's considered both adorable and attractive. We have a run-of-the-mill smarmy, cold douchebag MC. Yeah, these chapters were not fun to read. Oddly, it's the third MC, the one that beats himself the most about the taboo aspect, that is the least creepy of the three. I mean, he's obviously a coward and an idiot who'd rather run five thousand miles away from his brother than actually talk to him, but at least he's not coldly manipulative and self-centered or talks like a five year old. Most of the time. Eurgh.

It’s official: Honey London is now on my list as a favorite author. I really enjoy her writing so much and looooove all of her taboo books!
I wasn’t sure how to feel about Jack having Everett come home with him during Christmas, especially knowing that he left Christian almost a year ago and he’d have to see Jack “moving on.” I felt like my heart was going to end up breaking while reading a love triangle sort of thing. At first I got pissed for Jack when his freaking boyfriend Everett started lusting after Christian and I thought he might’ve ended up seducing Christian or some shit... but that feeling didn’t last long. I’m really glad the whole story took a turn.
I think we needed Everett’s POV to see he was such an asshole and didn’t give one shit about Jack. That guy was such a selfish dick.
I felt sad for Christian at first but he definitely worked for and got what he wanted and hell yes for that!

Twins! Feeling guilty Jack runs away for over a year. Coming back with his boyfriend . All is revealed. How much they still love each other. This taboo story is a fun , lovely, quick read!

There was a bit of non-con, incest, and ruining a man cause he happened to be in a relationship with one which made this short story great.

*gasping for air* This was sweet, dirty, ache and twisted as hell !!
I loved this one. It was a well written taboo. I recommend !!! At first, I don’t like all of the Everett’s POVs (bcs I thought—oh, he’s the side character, why would I need his POV?) but then I understand. It’s to show how “innocent” Christian actually is before the whole twisted thing happen.
Everett, I hate you but then I don’t, but at the same time, I still hate you. Jackson, I love you so much! and Christian, oh my you dirty, twisted little shit. Pretend to be oh, so innocent when you’re far far away from innocence. I still love you. Gah! love, love, love Christian ;)
And I love that Jackson figured out what the hell was going in before the story ends. I was on EDGEE!!

This novel was upsetting!
[image error]
Where's the rest?
Another buddy read with Laurel
The story started off flip floppping between Jack and his boyfriend Everett's vp.
Then we're thrown for a sweet loop.
This was a really good read... I can totally imagine this as a full length novel (I so badly wished it was ugh).
The co-dependency between Jack and Christian,
Christian's inner bad ass!
I beg of you!

old post reposted
On a Honey London binge. This is "Off Limits," available on #Smashwords. Pre-blurb warning: this is one of her more taboo books.
["A year ago, Jack made a mistake that forced him to run as far as he could from the one person he couldn’t live without. But now he has to go back, has to face his twin, has to remember that no matter what happens, sweet, innocent Christian is off limits. Which is why Jack is bringing an insurance policy: his boring boyfriend, his penance, Everett.
This time, Jack won’t make any mistakes. But Jack isn't the only one with plans for his visit home..."]
Already said with "Simon Says," twincest is officially not by thing, but I wanted to (and needed to) read "Off Limits" to completed all of Honey London's books (will get to the full-length ones soon), so I figured what the hell. Like with "Simin Says," ignoring the twincest thing (again, big fucking thing to ignore, but still), the book was fucking fabulous. The angst with the fluff?! D: Dying inside. The perfect mixture of sweetness and hot-as-hell spicy?!?! D: D: Dead, all 911. It's a little dark and twisty and kinky (yes, more kinky than twincest), but so. much. fun.
I know Jack picked Everett to torture himself, to make himself pay for what he did, but like fuck, I couldn't stand him. He was super sweet and supportive in the first chapter, and then he turned into a big, pervy creep. Which now having finish the novella, I get that that was the point. Full picture and whatnot.
Also? The plot twist there near the end. Fuck. Ing. Perfection. So damn good. I mean, honestly. Who knew?
I'd recommend this one, though, there are some dark and twisty things that go on, so if you want full on spoilers incase they might be triggers for you, please feel free to message.

This time, Jack won’t make any mistakes. But Jack isn't the only one with plans for his visit home..."]
Already said with "Simon Says," twincest is officially not by thing, but I wanted to (and needed to) read "Off Limits" to completed all of Honey London's books (will get to the full-length ones soon), so I figured what the hell. Like with "Simin Says," ignoring the twincest thing (again, big fucking thing to ignore, but still), the book was fucking fabulous. The angst with the fluff?! D: Dying inside. The perfect mixture of sweetness and hot-as-hell spicy?!?! D: D: Dead, all 911. It's a little dark and twisty and kinky (yes, more kinky than twincest), but so. much. fun.
I know Jack picked Everett to torture himself, to make himself pay for what he did, but like fuck, I couldn't stand him. He was super sweet and supportive in the first chapter, and then he turned into a big, pervy creep. Which now having finish the novella, I get that that was the point. Full picture and whatnot.
Also? The plot twist there near the end. Fuck. Ing. Perfection. So damn good. I mean, honestly. Who knew?
I'd recommend this one, though, there are some dark and twisty things that go on, so if you want full on spoilers incase they might be triggers for you, please feel free to message.

How can a book that has so many of my favorites tropes be so incredibly unenjoyable to read?
(incest (twincest), manipulation, codependency, dubcon, possessiveness etc).
Look, I understand what this book is supposed to be, I get it but…
Everything was wayyy too on the nose, wayyy too forced. I’m not even sure Everett’s pov was needed at all. It seems that the only reason it was there, was to desperately showcase how much of a creep Everett was and it wasn’t subtle at all!
I guess Honey London didn’t want to leave the readers with any possibility for feeling sorry for Everett and therefore unfortunately overdid it on the creepiness level that he came across like an overdone cartoon villain, especially when reading his pov. It was ridiculous!
Christian was weird as well. Why the hell did he behave at 20 like a literal prepubescent child? And, no, the twist doesn’t explain it. He behaved this way, wayyy before everything went down. He behaved that way since birth. Did he have a disability? It wasn’t stated in the book so who tf knows?! Again, ridiculous!
Jack was kinda ok, bland but not as cartoonishly overdone as the other two. Still boring.
The sex scenes were extremely boring too, they were overly long and were mostly telling rather than showing. It was absolutely exhausting to read them, which is a shame bc this book obviously doesn’t rely on story or characters to keep you entertained.
The twist was ok…nothing shocking and you could still see it from miles away but it was alright, gave the bland story at least a little bit of spice.
Not recommended, waste of time.

Jack is returning home with a new boyfriend after a year studying abroad. In the beginning all we know is something happened with him and his twin, which made him run away to another country. Although it is obvious from the blurb, what must’ve happened.
One interesting part was that Jack is only dating Everett because he’s such an asshole. Jack has absolutely no feelings for him, he doesn’t like him, not even a little bit, not even as a person. He thinks of Everett as part of his penance, and as a way to protect his brother from himself.
This story was going in a certain direction, and I was totally surprised when the twist came( at 72%, I checked). It completely threw me, I really didn’t expect it, which was amazing because it doesn’t really happen to me a lot.
I don’t get why Everett had a point of view here. Being in his head and reading his thoughts was disturbing to some extent. Maybe Christian should have gotten more chapters, at least that way, the story would have been more defined.
I’m not sure if Everett deserved what he got. Sure he was an asshole, only interested in marrying Jack to get a promotion and trying to sleep with his brother the first chance he got, but how he ended up was a little extreme.
I’m happy that this wasn’t a full length book, I don’t think I would’ve been able to finish it otherwise. Reading incest is difficult, it’s not like every other taboo, so I’m just glad that it ended when it did, and I didn’t have to justify my own book choices to myself.

Every inch of my brother belongs to me. He tries to pull away, but I grab the back of his head, winding my fingers through his soft hair. I push my way into his mouth, my tongue easily taking over and I nearly collapse as I get my first taste of my brother.I read this 6 days and dozens of stories ago so my brain is fuzzy. I remember this story has literally the smarmiest character ever written. Jack's older boyfriend Everett is disgusting. I felt nauseated by his predatory actions and was so glad the brothers didn't let him get away with his bullshit.
When Christian saw us coming, he held up his blanket, silently inviting Jack to crawl back under with him. It was fucking adorable.I loved the closeness of these twins; they were as close as I expect twins to be in twincest stories. Throughout the book I was worried twin Christian (Chrissy) was a bit too innocent & unaware but my fears were put to rest by the end.
After a blissful eternity, his powerful thrusts slowed and he broke our kiss, pressing his damp forehead against mine. His eyes screwed shut, but I kept mine open, watching my brother take his orgasm from me. “Fuck, Chrissy,” he hissed as his warmth filled my hole.Not super heavy on the sex, 2 scenes I believe...but over all a good twincest story worth a read.

Christian has always been the younger, shy, nervous and introverted twin. Jackson has always been the older protective twin. From the time they were born they had an especially close and tactile relationship.
A year ago Jackie made a mistake and ran away moving from California to London. He disappeared from Chrissy's life completely leaving Chrissy to fall apart without his only support. A year later their Mom finally persuades Jack to come home for the holidays. Only he brings Everett with him... his boring staid boyfriend who he views as his penance for hurting Chrissy. Only upon arriving does he realize his feelings for his twin haven't changed at all. He's still just as protective and still just as in love with him as ever.
This is Honey London's first book and it was written pretty well. I love the twins and the dynamics between them. I hate Everett from the start and just want to slap him and the further the book goes along I just hated him all the more. The only consolation being Jackie knew he didn't love Everett and never could. The only thing I felt it was missing was an epilogue sharing where they had moved on in their lives together. It's only hinted at in the end.
