Double-Edged
From the author of PUSH and To Burn In Brutal Rapture comes an all-new tale of unexpected [extremely] forbidden romance!
What's an honest man to do?
Isn't that always the question we find ourselves wondering when we get swept up in something bad... Something overpowering and tangibly wrong, with the ability to corrupt our morals down to the core?
These boys, they're not mine, but they might as well be. I'm responsible for them, in a sense. And they couldn't be more different, identical in looks alone.
One I've noticed... The other has noticed me.
One needs me, the other needs him.
Sometimes a hero will fall on his own sword, but in my case... I've fallen on two.

DNF at 54%
I borrowed this thinking I’d read something taboo and MMM. I was disturbed to discover that first and foremost, this books features a sexual relationship with minors so consent is not even on the table. It isn’t taboo, it’s statutory rape. The rave reviews romanticizing their dynamic are disturbing at best.
Secondly, the writing is not good. I skimmed, knowing that this would be a DNF due to the age of consent issue. Three POVs are juggled clumsily with time jumps, inconsistent narration, and narrative voices that either overcompensate or underdeliver on the characters they’re meant to portray. Typos and editing issues abound. Words are repeated many times per page or even paragraph. Italics are used for both inner thoughts and emphasis, resulting in confusion. Hyperbole and illogical metaphors are near constant. If you cut out the excessive exposition it would probably lose 200 pages.
Thirdly, the story is rife with harmful homophobic, biphobic, and misogynistic stereotypes along with at least one troubling line about the twins “not being like other rich white boys” because they’re incestuous. The few women in the story are written as shrill harpies or sluts. The mother, especially (while yeah not an affectionate or present parent) is a caricature, a money grubbing trophy wife popping Xanax and jetting off to the spa. The queer students at the twins’ school are grossly stereotypical and all act with blanket “gay” affectations and are regarded as predators in the plot. The gay predator stereotype is incredibly harmful and the author perpetuates it here. I could go on but frankly it’s upsetting.
Utterly confused as to how this book has five star reviews and the author has been firmly shelved as DNR for me.
TWs because the author doesn’t seem to think they’re needed-
Grooming of minors, statutory rape, homophobia, misogyny, incest, dubious consent between minors, non-consent, non-consensual filming of a sexual act, homophobic violence by a parent resulting in major injury, drug and alcohol use

I don't know if the blurb has been updated, but the twins were young teens when the incest started and were 17 when they started having sex with their step father. That isn't taboo, it's pedophilia
February 19, 2024
Inaccurate trigger warnings. The author put a huge rant at the start of the book saying it may not be for everyone blah blah blah. She pointed out that the taboo is incest. She neglected to mention that this book is full of graphic depictions of CHILDREN having sex. It starts when they are 15 I believe. They don’t turn 18 until around 75%. It later romanticizes statutory rape. She repeatedly mentions that it’s illegal in their state.
There was no reason for her to not mention this in the long trigger warning. It’s disturbing that all the reviews praising this book don’t mention that it is pedophilia. I understand that it’s taboo but to purposefully not mention that this is erotica about basically pedophilia is ridiculous.
Edit: for all the those who want to whine. I never said you can’t read it. If you want to read child p0rn then have at it. This is to help people make their choice

Double-Edged is one of My most anticipated books of the year—the twins win in my eyes. So far, My favorite book from the author. Not only is there a forbidden/taboo factor, which doesn't feel shocking, it feels normal and loved. The book is intense, with mental health being upfront and present. I felt so many emotions. The book touched my heart and soul. As always, I will be vague and not give any spoilers.
Cyrus and Colson have such a deep, beautiful connection. Their home life is less than stellar. Just because you come from money doesn't mean you have it all. Cyrus is a genius, while Colson is the bad boy. Both struggle with mental health issues. One more so than the other. I can't forget Tauren. Older and caring. He sees the twins for whom they are and not what their parents treat them as. He can be my hero any day. The Chemistry is off the charts with all three. As much as I love all three, Colson is my favorite. Always the broken bad boy.
Nyla K has a way with her writing that draws you in from the start and keeps your attention. Double-Edged is that. Plus, so much more, and I feel like she wrote with all her emotions. The worlds just flowed off the pages, and I felt every single one of them. I swear she writes some of the steamiest sex scenes. Have extra knickers on hand—ten out of five on the steam factor.
It's been several days since I have read this book; I am still here thinking of it and will talk to anyone about it. This book is a masterpiece. I loved every minute of reading it. I will add I am envious of those who experience this book for the first time. I highly recommend this book to everyone. Read those trigger warnings. This book is not for everyone, and that is okay.

DNF not because it was bad exactly and not because it “wasn’t for me” I have no issues with incest or taboo stepdad age gap stories. HOWEVER I cannot and will not support adults and underage teens together. I was prepared for a “large age gap” like the author note said but having minors in a sexual relationship with an adult is not okay. I’m kind of shocked by all the rave reviews that don’t even mention the romanticizing of statutory rape. It’s a little concerning to be honest.

Stop using the word taboo to describe problematic content.

*** I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.***
WoW....this is an absolute epic masterpiece!!!!
I feel that I just went through one intense experience where my heart was violently removed, while slowly being stitched back together.
Double-Edged covers a variety of topics spanning from taboo/forbidden love, complex mental health issues, and traumatic abuse. This complicated and angsty love story includes twin brothers and their stepfather.
The story features two broken boys who battle their own inner demons while seeking comfort from one another given their heartbreakingly lonely home life where both are misunderstood and ignored. Their only solace is each other, which makes their relationship even more painful to navigate.
After many significant life changes and upheavals for both Colson and Cyrus, they find a beacon of hope in the form of their stepfather Tauren, who manages to meet all of their different needs, while making them both feel safe and loved, which has been missing so much in their lives.
Double-Edged was more than I expected and is my favorite taboo romance where all emotions were felt and made me so happy when all three finally saw their HEA realized.
All in all, I'm so grateful the nerd and his emo twin found their Dark Knight...

I feel as if I read a different book than the one others are fawning over.
The misogyny was intense in this one. Black mark right away for that. And the twin boys acted like children most of the time. Spoiler alert. They were children. It creeped me out that an adult was in love with them when they acted exactly like little kids. The only adult thing they did was have a lot of sex with their mother's husband. (Which, him marrying her never made sense. He was an idiot.)
I'm not even sure why I finished this book. I was curious how they'd get out of their predicament, so I skimmed a lot to finish.
I didn't believe any of the characters, I didn't connect with them.
Also, I know a lot of twins. I've never met any that could pull off a switch with people that know them. It seemed pretty rotten that anyone that professed any love for these kids couldn't even tell them apart.

I’d give it no stars but GR won’t let me. This is plain and simple pedophilia. The boys are UNDERAGE. That is all that needs to be said. The author could have still made it taboo by making the twins 18 but she chose to write a book where the person of authority of minors sleeps with them. This is grooming plain and simple. Anyone who says otherwise obviously has serious moral issues. Yes I read taboo, I’ve read MANY stepdad/stepson, Dad/son, Uncle/nephew books and love them but the massive difference is that all the younger MCs were all OVER 18.

*changed to 5 stars
i'm down on my bruised knees with tears streaming down my face for fucking finally been blessed by the taboo gods. i still think writing taboo stories take talent and yeah nyla k is brimming with that talent. i'm gonna say it now because sometimes these blurbs sound good and exciting but may turn out harmful for some: this is a taboo story about a full-grown man being in a sexual relationship with his underage, you read that right sister, twin stepsons. the sex with a minor setting made me highly uncomfortable even though the twins appear older than their actual age. to nyla k, you can't at least give them 2 years in their age? bc girl what the fuck?! 4 stars honestly i don't know why. i just know that my eyes were literally glued from start to finish. i was palpitating. my mind screams these red alarming sirens for me to drop the book but i can't put it down. i was hypnotized. i was magnetized. this book marked me. as of now, everytime i'll think about taboo all i can surely think about are those two books that i loved from nicky james and this one from nyla k. i was fucking shook. see you in hell!!
"My twin stepsons lean down to my dick together. Their warm, wet mouths suck at the head of my cock, tongues lapping and feathering until I'm crumbling into a million pieces. Reaching down, I hold both of their heads to help them suck me."

Forget incest - that’s not the issue , if that’s your thing , no issues.
But come on folks - they’re under age. That’s not on in any way.

I’m concerned about all the people here on the
comments glorifying the author. SHE’S A GROWN WOMAN, it's not “taboo", it's illegal and y’all honestly sick.
One thing is writing about siblings (i don't like it but meh, it's your “kinks and imagination"), but you're writing about CHILDREN, why tf are you fantasizing about CHILDREN??? THEY’RE 15.
Your fucking book is so misogynistic, you’re glorifying a pedophile, seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you?
If you wanted to make it “taboo” or whatever the fuck you’re calling your shitty work, at least you could have made them over 18.
I don’t care for large age gaps, idc if they’re his step sons, idc if they’re twins (as a I said, it’s not my cup of tea), BUT THEY’RE FIFTEEN FOR FUCKS SAKE. How can you feel sexual arousal?
I wish I could give this fucked up book 0 stars.

Do not read my review expecting a summary of the story. Mine are just rambling sentences of a woman who loved Double Edged and can’t stop thinking about it. So it won’t make much sense. Sorry 😌

So...
NYLA K IS A FREAKING GENIUS AND
I'M MADLY IN LOVE WITH HER MIND!!!
She is able to create sucha strong amazing women, BUT HER MEN !!!
They are something else 😍😍
They just take a place in your heart and refuse to leave!!
So i decided i'm gonna move in Nyla's mind with her men and i'm gonna enjoy watching them doing dirty things to each other 😏😌🥵😂
That being said, let's talk about Double Edged.
1. It's mindblowing amazing.
I mean, i knew it would have been another masterpiece but it's even better than I thought 🤩🤩
2. It's damn emotional, with many heavy topics, and heartbreaking moments that made my eyes watery.
3. It's hot, and I mean REALLY HOOOTT 🥵🥵🥵
She knows how to make you sweat and squirm in your sit, while reading those scenes.
I can honestly say she is the best.
4. I love Tauren. He is so dominant and caring *swooning* 😍
The "bad hero" everyone want in his life.
5. I love the twins, Cyrus and Colson.
Cyrus, the genius, the good twin.
Colson, the troublemaker, the bad twin.
One can’t live without the other.
The connection, the love between the two of them is one of the thing I loved the most.
But to be honest Colson is the one who owns
my heart. 🖤🖤🖤
6. The angst made me almost throw my kindle from the window, mostly because of Carla the b*tch 😤😤😤
7. As usually when it comes to relationships that involve more than two people, Nyla took her time to built each bond before the thouple's.
Nevertheless the dynamic between these three really works and you can sense the affection and the love they feel for each other.
It's heartwarming.
8. It's a journey about three beautiful souls that gonna lead them to understand that "𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒘𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒄𝒕𝒔, 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒎𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒃𝒆 𝒇*𝒖𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒆𝒂𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒇𝒖𝒍. 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅, 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒘𝒂𝒚.

April 19, 2022This book is a hard no for me. It romanticizes a threesome between a step dad and his two underage sons. Please don't support this book. If you like "forbidden" romances, go read some that include characters who are all over 18.
March 24, 2022
WHAT THE FUCK. why does this have such a high rating. it is ILLEGAL. not taboo.
It's pedophilia, doesn't matter if the son is "one week away from eighteen", the mental capacity isn't???!! this is statutory rape. this is literally grooming oh my lord. to make it worse , the twins are in a relationship with each other and with their STEPFATHER. three illegal things now.
[insert "bitch you better be joking" by Maddie.] thank you. bye. staying away rn and forever😍😍👍🏻
even if it's fiction it's still illegal x.

5/5 🌶
First of all FUCK AMAZON and their censorship. Don’t like taboo? Don’t fucking read it. KTHNXBAI. If you’re interested in reading this (which you should definitely do) then go check it out on Eden Books!
NOW: this was another Nyla masterpiece. I’ll be honest, I didn’t get into Push (but I’m still planning on reading it one day!) but Alabaster Pen has my heart and fucked up soul. DE follows the story of Colson and Cyrus, two twin brothers who love their stepdaddy (and each other).
I kid. It’s much more than that. The way the characters each have their own “good” and “bad.” The way mental health is handled (check the TWs, folks). But mostly the way each man is able to find themselves as part of a whole and individually. It’s just beautiful. Coming in at about 600 pages, this book certainly doesn’t seem long. The storytelling is seamless and everything flowed so nicely.
I hate MMM’s where it seems like one man is always on the outs. I almost thought this was going to happen here but it didn’t. The way the relationships come together was very well done.
And for fellow AP lovers 👀 Peep a cameo near the end. I wonder if the twins and Daddy T will show up in AP too? 🤔
Just read this. That’s all.

I kid. It’s much more than that. The way the characters each have their own “good” and “bad.” The way mental health is handled (check the TWs, folks). But mostly the way each man is able to find themselves as part of a whole and individually. It’s just beautiful. Coming in at about 600 pages, this book certainly doesn’t seem long. The storytelling is seamless and everything flowed so nicely.
I hate MMM’s where it seems like one man is always on the outs. I almost thought this was going to happen here but it didn’t. The way the relationships come together was very well done.
And for fellow AP lovers 👀 Peep a cameo near the end. I wonder if the twins and Daddy T will show up in AP too? 🤔
Just read this. That’s all.

Nyla K. Drew me into this book from that first page 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐀 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐨 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 and i was completely defenseless to fight against her lure.
The chemistry, the dynamic, the struggles, the love, acceptance and everything else about them was beyond beautiful and brilliantly well written. The characters 𝐖𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 and easily relatable and so damn real. Their emotions were so 𝐑𝐚𝐰 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥 that i couldn't but feel them as well and that's the power of Nyla K's writing.

** 2.5 Stars **
I am so bummed!
There was so much potential for taboo, but the execution failed in making me take this serious. 🤷♀️
❗ To get to the core of this story, the author exploited far fetched situations.
❗ The twins' parents were underdeveloped.
❗Couldn't feel the connection between the stepdad and the twins happening.
⛔⛔ As for the polemic about the age of consent, depending on the reader's geographic location, this book will be illegal for some.
God for forbidden that, right?
So, friendly advice, stay away from it if this kind of fiction offends your morals.
I, for one, couldn't care less.
Loved the wicked age gap and the twin love. Shame the execution let me down.
I will round up my rate because it was hot as fuck and I really liked the relationship between the twins.

*ARC received from author in exchange for my honest review. *
A true taboo masterpiece!! Double-edged is everything wicked, and delicious you shouldn't crave. Twins, who are as equally alike as they are different and the one man they shouldn't want but they crave.
"That it's okay if I'm wicked inside. Because you guys are, too."
Colson & Cyrus might be identical twins, but they are vastly different. Cyrus is the golden child, the good twin who is supposed to go far and make his parents proud. Colson is the rebel without a cause, the bad twin who will forever be a disappointment to his parents. The one thing that these two have in common besides their looks is the one thing that they both crave. The one thing that if it ever got out could ruin everything. In secret, they are much more than friends, they share something they shouldn't and while they know what they are doing is wrong they can't help it. The lingering gazes, wandering hands they share with one another in the dark of night.
Tauren has always been responsible. He always wanted to be the savior and while he never expected it to happen this way. Marrying their mother was the right thing to do because even if he didn't know it yet those boys needed him. One needed him in a way that made his mind and body come to life and the other needed him to help him feel what it is like to be cherished. It was never supposed to go this far but you can't go back. Now that Tauren knows what it is like to have these boys there is nothing that will come between them. He will do whatever he has to make sure they are his.
What happens in the dark of night never seems to stay there. What happens when secrets are revealed? When limits are tested? And what happens when the only thing you've ever craved is pulled from you just as quickly as you got it?
Ladies, gentleman, and all you nonbinary babes in between this story is going to shatter every single ceiling you thought Nyla had already shattered. Not only did this book have the same kind of raw emotions you have come to expect from Nyla, but she outdid herself on the steam. SERIOUSLY! A couple of times I had to stop and just breathe because I thought I would combust.
While I can't really pick a favorite of this book if I had to, I am going to go with Daddy Tauren all the way. That man just blew me away with not only the power he seemed to hold over those boys which was nothing short of intoxicating. It was the way he cared for them so tenderly even Colson because let's be real, that boy is hard to love.
I've probably gone on too long at this point, but I just loved this book so much! Nyla K done did this damn thing and I love all three of these boys for exactly who they are. Imperfections and all!!

Tbh this is my own fault, I should have actually read into this book without relying on a recommendation from TikTok but….
There’s a difference between taboo and literally ILLEGAL! UNDER AGED BOYS, I’m honestly shocked that this has such a high rating. LIKE… statutory rape?? Hello?
Not only are they under aged but the way they react to events that happen CLEARLY show that they don’t have the mental capacity for a relationship never mind a full blown shit storm that is this book.
Jesus Christ.. For real what is wrong with y’all? DNF

What I've loved
1 ONLY Nyla K can make this much spice work without becoming boring as hell
2 I think I’ve fallen desperately in love with the voice actor that narrates the twins (@Corvin.King)
3 Guys, this is twins, and if you have not yet moved on from this post... it’s freaking twins!!
4 I was very emotionally invested, and devastated every step of the way
5 I’m reviewing this quite some time after I finished it and like with ‘For the fans’, I still freaking miss them!!
What I didn't love
1 The step-dad’s narrator really sounded much older than he should (in my imagination at least), cause he’s my age and felt like he was MY dad’s age... It sounded a bit creepy, and I don’t know if it’s ‘cause I’m not really into the age gap/daddy thing, as I am into the twins.
Conclusions
Are all Nyla K's books good like this?
Cause I guess she has a new loyal fan then 😂
I don’t know what she puts in these books, but they are hella addictive!
__________
RTC. I'm in love with both boys voices. The step dad... Not so much (he's supposed to be my age but sounds like he's 20 years older than that so it's a bit cringy)

I am gonna start on this tonight. My Instagram search/FYP seems to imply I'm MM starved. 🙈

Nyla’s words that I totally subscribe to »»» “This is a real, raw, beautiful love story about falling in love with people you shouldn’t. You must have an open-mind to read this book, otherwise just steer clear.”
So apart from everything that was already said about this book, it's taboo, so if you choose to read it don't complain about it!
My thoughts while reading:
I loved Cyrus and Colson together, like LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE! 🥹❤️
Bad twin, good twin. 😈😇
I can’t for the life of me understand why Tauren married their mother, but I’m glad he did because, despite all the pain, blood, and suffering, he brought them hope and, after a lot of fighting, a future together where they could finally just be themselves. ❤️
My heart bleeds for Colson, he is my sweet emo broken boy. 🖤🥺
Ok, maybe Tauren accepted this very quickly? 🤔
This is so hot I can't deal, part 1. 🔥
I hurt for Colson. I'm a sucker for a broken boy who thinks he doesn't deserve anything good or to be loved. I loved seeing him break down his walls and just surrender. ❤️🩹
Loved their dynamic. Colson loves to dominate Cyrus, but loves to be dominated by Tauren, who in return just loves to dominate both of them.
This is so hot I can't deal, part 2. 🥵
Carla is a one-dimensional cartoon, especially after what she did to her kids. Disgusting. 🤬
My heart bleeds for Colson, he is my sweet emo broken boy. I feel he was the center of the story, and what made everything move forward, not always in the best of ways, but move it did! 🖤
I don’t think a weekend can create this kind of love between them because, let’s face it, they have two days together before everything goes to shit. Maybe if there had been more build-up before, but not at the level of intensity Nyla gives us. It would feel more believable and hard-won if they lusted after each other for months, stealing moments, pining, making this level of nuclear combustion feel more real.
So, even knowing what I was going to read, I was uncomfortable sometimes—not with the twins, but with Tauren. Maybe because of how fast they fell and the things they did together... 🤷♀️
This is so hot I can't deal, part 3. 🔥
Precious and Perfect are adorable pet names. 🥹💕
This is so hot I can't deal, part 4. 🥵
Sex, as expected, was nuclear. Their dynamic is spot on for their personalities and needs. Tauren has a devious mind and imagination, and goddamn, JFC, that was hot! 🔥🥵💀
This is so hot I can't deal, part 5. ☠️🔥
Loved seeing baby Lex Luther here. *** 🥹
The whole drama llama with Carla, well, she's a bit of a cardboard villain with no real reason behind her actions, or at least the reasons presented were very far-fetched. That kind of evil thinking and behavior calls for a bigger motivation. This one didn't make sense. And, as usual in Nyla's books, it's resolved very quickly... She's the source of all evil for 500 pages, and then poof—five seconds later she's gone. 🤷♀️😅🤨~
Some things don't make sense and just don't add up, but after all these pages, are we really supposed to just settle for their HEA?! That phone call from his dad... hmmmm. 🤨
The end was all mushy feelings and hot sex, as usual with Nyla. I think the ending fits them. ❤️
This is so hot I can't deal, part 6. 🔥🫠
Thank you Bárbara for another epic buddy read!

“Let’s get the fuck out of the stifling town that’s held us down for so long and go… run free.”
Something flashes over Tauren’s face. His wide blue eyes sparkle like where the sky meets the sea, his Adam’s apple bobbing in his throat. Taking our hands, he pulls them both forward, holding them up to his chest.
“So what do you say, my twins?” He smirks, head cocking as his eyes offer a whole new world of possibilities.
Cyrus and I share a look, excitement running through us like a current, together.
This is it.
The baddest good.”

Phew, so where do I begin (long)? I know. You're either going to love this story or hate it. I mean, I get it. I see why some people hate this. The two teen boys are not quite adults. There is non-con too. Now when I read the reviews about the non-con, I assumed it was from the stepfather. It's not. It was committed by one of the brothers. Some also say this is not taboo because of those two issues. They are assuming that even if it's taboo, it's still legal or arousing. It's not. Taboo is literally forbidden by virtually all societies. Incest is taboo. Having sex with two boys who are not yet 18 is taboo. I get it though. When the boys got together or when they started sexually exploring with their stepfather, it was a cringe-worthy moment.
But I'm not in agreement that authors shouldn't write about these things. I don't believe in collaring authors. Just because they write about uncomfortable subjects like incest, misogyny, racism, bigotry, etc. doesn't mean this is what they believe in or agree with. They are telling a story. If we all never wrote misogyny, rape, darkness in people, etc... and treated characters as perfect semblances of society, books would be boring. Everyone is perfect, never doing wrong, etc. That's not reality. Life can get freakin' dark. There are tons of romances like that already. I personally love reading the darker side of people in stories. I like it when authors take a chance and go bold and daring. But that's just me. It's okay to not like this story too, but I personally loved it as I cringed. I loved all my conflicting emotions as I read their stories.
Some say she didn't write this for shock value. Of course, she did. She wrote this with the intention and knowledge that people were going to hate this. But all those concerns from readers were all addressed in the book. The moral dilemma all three characters continually faced. The repercussions of their actions were also addressed. It showed society's reaction to the three and how they were all ostracized. There were consequences, as it should have been.
I'm not sure about the misogyny. The mother was a horrible human being. Their father was a horrible human being. There was a girl in it towards the end who was wonderful and helped the two boys.
Tauren's character was well-developed. She wrote him intentionally bland at first. It was a reflection of how much darkness he held back from himself. It's when he embraced his darker side did he get really interesting.
Colson is the shining star in this book. He's the most damaged (I love reading about a damaged soul and seeing them climb from the depths to find happiness), yet he causes the most trouble. His story is heart-breaking and how much pain he had to endure, forcing him to be someone he wasn't. All the trouble he stirred brought about this strange relationship, forcing all three characters to reveal and accept who they were, but it wasn't without a lot of pain, loss, and struggle with their morality.
But the twins together... yes, it's incest, but those two were like yin and yang. Like they belonged together like that. Those two worked beautifully together.
I'm not a dom/sub fan. It's not my thing, but it worked well with the three based on how they were psychologically. And there's a lot of that throughout the book... this delving into the psyche.
In reality, this relationship probably wouldn't have flourished, but romances have HEAs. This book has it, and I wanted them to find their happiness despite how much people hate it. I honestly was unable to put this book down. There wasn't one point where I skimmed over the story.

I want to preface this by saying that this book is taboo, and will not be for everyone. If taboo isn’t your thing, then scroll right along. This is an MMM romance between twins, Colson and Cyrus, and their stepdad, Tauren. There’s a significant age gap between the twins and Tauren.
By now, everyone probably knows how much I love Nyla and her books. She definitely knows how to write spice and she knows how to push those boundaries, and I Fucking love it. The spice in this book is top Fucking tier. There are so many scenes that I already wish I could go back and read for the first time.
I love how the relationships between these three are separate as much as they are together. The twins have an incredible bond, obviously, and would do anything for one another. Then Tauren comes into the picture and he offers each boy something different. Something they are missing and desperately need. They all let each other be their true selves and it’s as hot as it is beautiful.
Cyrus is incredibly smart, but suffers from severe anxiety. I related to him heavily with his anxiety. He is innocent in many ways, and struggles with his feelings toward Colson, and then toward Tauren.
Colson is the broken bad boy who just wants to he loved. He’s obviously my favorite, and my heart broke for him throughout the book. He struggles with mental health issues and is treated like an outsider by his parents.
Daddy Tauren is 🥵. He’s wealthy, but self-made. Him and his buddies run a really fucking cool start up company - really, it’s cool. He also has this part of himself that he keeps locked up, and the twins help him explore it and be truly himself.
I highly, highly recommend this book if you’re okay with the taboo aspects. It’s spicy as hell, it’s the right amount of emotional, and it’s just fucking amazing. Period.
By now, everyone probably knows how much I love Nyla and her books. She definitely knows how to write spice and she knows how to push those boundaries, and I Fucking love it. The spice in this book is top Fucking tier. There are so many scenes that I already wish I could go back and read for the first time.
I love how the relationships between these three are separate as much as they are together. The twins have an incredible bond, obviously, and would do anything for one another. Then Tauren comes into the picture and he offers each boy something different. Something they are missing and desperately need. They all let each other be their true selves and it’s as hot as it is beautiful.

Actual rating ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5 taboo stars
Spice rating 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
PREFACE: this is a taboo MMM romance, that's obviously what we are here for, personally i am here to test my boundaries, look for limits and probe my values.
Booooy oh boy oh boyyy.
This book was... A lot.
Like, there was A LOT going on, and with the forbidden factor involved and all the D's, i was Overwhelmed most of the time.
Every time you think you are over one aspect of this f'ed up ride, K. turns the heat up. And i don't mean just the 🔥heat, but the events within this story keep devolving into madness that is this emotional hurricane of a book.
So, let me kind of take you through it?
First, we meet the twins. This is, first and foremost, a M/M twincest romance, we know this going in. The initial 20% you go from WTAF is this book to well, at least they are boys so nobody is expecting babies to come from this. Yeah, Nyla just rips your moral compass outta your hands and chucks is straight out of that window. There is some drama with the parents victimizing one twin and queer-shaming the other, which already is bad enough, but then there is the confusion of one of them for being gay, and one just convinced he is straight.
Then the dad gets written out of the show, and enter Tauren. He was okay. I didn't get the hot hot hot vibes from him, mainly because he was oscillating between being their mom's husband (why the f*ck) and wanting to take care of the twins. Okay. So far so good. Right? Of course not.
He does his thing for a bit and does a 180 flip to wanting to f* the shit out of the twins. Then some more confusing themes eventuate, some unrealistic good people materialize, some very realistic atrocious human beings make you hate everything about this, consequences ensue, and you are left with this hot mess in the end (this does have a HFN/HEA and thank f*ck for that, because my nerves were frayed as it was).
This was a VERY good read for me in terms of its impact and reactions throughout reading. I went in here with one question being: will Ms. K. let me accept the weirdness of a young twin brother romance with their stepfather. The answer is - yes, if anything, the constant reiterations of "this is so wrong, how can something so wrong feel so right" helped accept that yeah, they are together and were always meant to be.
And, please, let's not do the whole "but they are underage" - this is a taboo romance, for more reasons than one, again, that's what we are here for. To me, ranting about how having sexual feelings for a 17yo (and in this case, 2 x 17 yo's) is illegal, criminal or plain wrong feels like you didn't understand the assignment, you were meant to cringe and quietly whisper 'what the actual fuck am i reading' while also being super turned on .
The reason why i deducted half a star was that i felt some of the sex scenes went too technical, that could be just an aspect of MMM though, and a point deducted for T calling them 'Kid's multiple times - that felt like being beat over the head with the big ass TABOO sign.

➥ Don't talk to me. Don't fucking talk to me. It feels as though I have been overrun by a bullet train.
"Double Edged" has been receiving so much hype since the day it got released. I have been seeing it everywhere. In a sense, it's reigning my Goodreads feed. MMM. Dark. Taboo. Age Gap. and all these glorious 5 star reviews. This book caught my attention like a Siren's song....I knew it'll destroy me. Yet I couldn't stop myself from reading it. I am do glad I did so because it was a wild rollercoaster ride. Very very addictive and awesome. I literally finished it within a course of a few hours.
The romance is damn amazing. And of course hot. The taboo part is really well done. What I didn't expect was it to be so emotional and jarring.... This book completely ruined me.
The most beautiful highlight of the story is Colson. Man! I LOVED this boy. You all know I have a thing for lost souls, broken hearts and good poeple who's acting as villains. Colson is just perfection. I'm in awe at how wonderful his character is. And he's sooo underrated. I know the author tried to provide equal attention to all three of our main characters. Yet, I couldn't help but somehow feel like Colson deserved more spotlight. I cried for this boy. I was so angry on his behalf. Really glad that he had not one but two poeple who understood his real worth.
The hype is real. Nyla K. truly nailed it. I was starving for a good forbidden romance. Now, I am satisfied....
"Love is fucking love, no matter what."

March 17, 2022CW/TW: This book depicts underage twin boys in their mid-teens first having an incestuous relationship, which then morphs into a sexual relationship with their grown-ass man who should know better step-father, who is committing statutory rape when they're still UNDERAGE.
If the above had been mentioned in the blurb or as a TW/CW in the beginning of this book, I might have skipped over adding it to my shelf. It was not. Therefore, heed this warning, and please check out the 1 star reviews before buying/reading this book.
It's a no from me.

"In my heart. He knows me, in all the ways no one else ever will. We're different people, but we're connected."
Colson and Cyrus Becker.
Twins. Brothers.
But they have a deeper connection than anyone will ever know.
It's not allowed. It's wrong. That's what everyone says.
That's what their family says.
They need to stay away from each other…
But it isn't as easy as they say…
Especially when their new step-dad, Tauren Vance, walks into the picture.
This family portrait just became so much more complicated…
"Things feel different when the three of us are together… Me and Cyrus, with Tauren in the middle."
I am prefacing this by saying if you are the kind of person that likes to judge people for what they read this review is not for you and just go ahead and unfollow/unfriend me altogether because you're not gonna like what I have to say and also sucks to suck 😘
Please read the author's note before because most of the things are explained there.
"We were wrong all along, and I don't fucking care anymore."
Nyla K.
The absolute genius that she is.
This book is consuming, amazing, heartbreaking and heartwarming all in one.
This is a taboo book. By saying that this book will not be for everyone, I will not be in the mindset that it will.
But if you are willing to take a risk with your limits and taboo books I would %100 percent recommend it.
"There's no way something this incredible could be so wrong."
First we have Cyrus. Cyrus is the nerdy, socially awkward and quiet twin. He is also marked by his parents as "the good twin". Not that he has ever wanted it. Cy always trying to protect his brother is amazing to see. Him struggling with his feelings not only towards Colson and Tauren but also towards himself and how the perception of people affects him. The way we grow with him in this book and the realizations he comes to are amazing to read about and to experience with him. Where Colson has always protected him, he gets to protect him back. And it is heartwarming to read about.
"No one else in the whole goddamn world will understand it, but this - us - is right."
Colson Becker is the rockstar, social, "bad-boy" twin. His parents marks him as "the evil twin". (Not to parents never fucking do this (I feel like that is understandable) but also never compare siblings it just sucks). Colson's whole world is Cyrus. While we feel from Cyrus' side that he thinks it's one sided, Colson cannot live without Cyrus. He will protect him and even put himself in harms way each and every time just to make sure that Cyrus is protected. Every choice he made, while some may say is questionable, he was doing in his mind for Cyrus. He protected him always no matter what came into their path. Him not thinking he is good enough and if he disappears it will all go away - I sobbed and cried because no one should ever feel that way. From experience, it's a sucky feeling and TRUST ME IT IS NOT TRUE.
"That no matter how badly we know this is wrong, it'll never stop me from craving it."
Tauren Vance. Knight in shining armor or villain in the end? That is the question Tauren asks himself throughout this book and it is not an easy question to ask.
In the beginning, he believes that he is doing what he needs to in order to help these kids. In some way to protect them from their mother (that fucking bitch I swear it's on sight with her no questions). Tauren's opinions and their transformation is so cool to see. To have that insight into his mind. Because he is the outsider coming in (in more ways than one). And the way each twin reacts to him is different but also very similair. Two ends of the same spectrum. And Tauren is the one that completed them (very cheesy yes yes but we move on people).
"Their imperfections make them infinitely spectacular."

• taboo • twincest/stepdad • m/m/m • age gap 17/17/36 •
Ahh this is hard to rate. It started out just a fun don’t-have -to-think-too-hard, minimal-realism taboo read after finishing a heavier themed book. And I was ready for it, some unhinged wild OTT sexfest m/m/m throupling with identical twin brothers and their stepdad. Easy. Great. Can’t wait. 😇🤗😆
And it started out exactly that! What these brothers do to ‘help each other out’…. Well, there are no limits 😆 the sequence of events and the Parent Trap -like situation was diabolical. Loved it! The smut was smutting. Characters were complicated in the way they usually are (Colson, he’s not gay but also he does not want his gay brother to touch any dick but his) 😆 he’s very protective 😇
The incest was fineeeee 💁♀️ but the teen thing combined with the age gap was not really for me, but seasoned fiction-reader here, I can look past that. No biggie.
What I struggled with was the sudden wildly villainous mother and the suddenness in which Cyrus became a biochem expert on drug interactions before starting his college studies. The last 25% of the book felt almost chore like to read. I just wanted to go back to the times when bad straight twin was so horny he couldn’t help but do the old covert dildo switcheroo and decided to dubcon fuck his brother for real instead. Those were happier times. 😆

I just wanted to go back to the times when bad straight twin was so horny he couldn’t help but do the old covert dildo switcheroo and decided to dubcon fuck his brother for real instead. Those were happier times. 😆
