Gratify

By: Katelyn Taylor

Narrated by: Brooke Daniels, Lucas Dixon

Becoming a father was the proudest day of my life.

Becoming a godfather was a close second.

Paul and Emily Clarke have been my best friends for over twenty years. We've gone through it all. We were the three musketeers.

When my best friends are ripped from all of our lives, leaving behind a broken piece of themselves, I know it's up to me to put things back together.

Only the pieces aren't fitting the way they used to. The feelings aren't what they used to be. The actions… Let's just say I've made some questionable ones lately.

Does that stop me from wanting her? From reaching for her? From craving her?

I wish I could tell you yes. But that would make me a liar.

Beautifully written

Sweet but also hot and spicy. Over all this love story maybe unconventional but still a love story. My Bluetooth connected to my work speaker and boy where they shocked. lol oh well

4.5 ⭐️

***LIGHT SPOILERS***

This is a unique story which I thoroughly enjoyed. However, I am giving it 4.5 ⭐️ because it thoroughly pissed me off how Atlas would be all possessive towards Andromeda and say “you’re mine” and then immediately after his orgasm he would tell her he regretted it…several times. I enjoyed how mature Andromeda was during the story and how even though Theo initially broke her heart they ended up becoming best friends again in the end. This story has an eventual HEA but I was also annoyed with the disappearing act she pulled, a few months is one thing but years!?!?

YUM

looovvvveeeeee me a forbidden / taboo story! 😈🤩 so good & so spicy 🥵

10/10 recommend — katelyn taylor will be an auto-all from now on!

Fantastic and Forbidden

Whew! I devoured this fantastic and forbidden audiobook .Both of the narrators were absolutely wonderful in their performances and I felt all the intensity, heat, ache and swoon in the relationship with these characters.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 🌶️🌶️🌶️ | Taboo? Yes. Worth it? Also yes.

Whew. Okay. Gratify by Katelyn Taylor came in hot—and I was not ready. This was my first book by her, and let me tell you, it will not be my last. I was expecting a little taboo age gap angst, but what I got was a full-course emotional buffet with a side of breeding kink and trauma bonding. Bless this mess.

Think: Birthday Girl, Older and Still Beating had a love child and named it Gratify. That’s the vibe.

We’ve got 18-year-old Andromeda (Naveah to him 😵‍💫), fresh off the tragic loss of both her parents, crashing into the arms—and eventually, the bed—of Atlas, her godfather, her dad’s best friend, and co-owner of the family business. You know… light reading.

Atlas? Total DILF. Broody, tortured, graying at the temples, morally struggling not to fall for the girl he swore to protect—but also fully unhinged when he finally snaps. A reluctant king with a soft spot for his girl and a serious breeding kink. 🫠 We love a man who grieves and rails.

Their connection feels intense, raw, and honestly? Beautiful in its chaos. But just when you think we’re in the clear… boom. Naveah peaces out to Greece for a year with no word. ZERO COMMUNICATION. She wanted to “find herself,” which I get, but girl—you found a whole man who worships the ground you walk on and you dipped?!

I struggled with that part. She pushed for the relationship, pulled him into it despite his hesitations, and then did the very thing he feared. Did it make sense for her age? Yes. Did it frustrate me? Also yes.

But here’s the thing—this story isn’t just taboo spice and age gap drama. It’s a deep, tender exploration of grief, identity, healing, and rediscovering love when the dust settles. Their reunion? Worth every angsty, time-jumpy page. And the role Atlas’ son played? Unexpected and perfect.

Final verdict: If you like your forbidden romance with substance, steam, and just the right amount of unhinged emotional damage—this one delivers. Buckle up. And maybe book a therapy session.
