PUSH BY NYLA K.

1/26/2021

While this is one of the hottest books I've ever read, I have to admit that I found much of the plot to be unbelievable and cringe worthy. That's not to say other readers won't love it, it just wasn't my cup of tea.

To the unassuming observer, Ben Lockwood is your typical, suburban dad. Aside from the fact that he’s only thirty-six and his daughter is a sophomore in college. He and his wife, Jessica, had their only daughter, Hailey, when they were in high school. So you can imagine the unease Ben is feeling when said daughter brings her new boyfriend home for Thanksgiving… To stay, in their house, for the whole weekend.

Ryan Harper, otherwise known as The Boyfriend, is every dread Ben’s ever had in his daughter dating come to fruition. There’s nothing wrong with Ryan. He’s polite, smart, and charming… He doesn’t have any neck tattoos or facial piercings, and he drives a BMW. But still, he’s dating Ben’s daughter. That makes him a threat.

It’s in Ben’s best interest to keep an eye on the kid. You know, to

make sure there’s no funny business going on under his roof. Unfortunately for him, the tension in the house is less about Ryan being his daughter’s boyfriend, and more about him being a strangely intriguing human.

And soon enough, Ben can’t tell if he’s watching Ryan to protect his daughter’s innocence, or obliterate his own. It seems like the boring married-guy image isn’t going to hold up for long… Not after this bizarre, life-changing weekend.

What are these new, strange feelings and desires? Where did they come from? And why do they have to center around what belongs to his daughter?

Ben and Ryan’s situation couldn’t get much more complicated… Until Jessica steps into the mix.

An unexpected push is all it took for their lives to change forever.

***PUSH by Nyla K is a label-free HEA love story. It contains infidelity triggers, which do work themselves out, so I urge you to give it a shot. MMR turns to MMF, in a very steamy, unexpected romance that will make you laugh, maybe cry, and definitely swoon. The theme of love is love is key here, so there aren’t many defining, or coming out moments. That being said, this book does explore male-male bisexuality, pansexuality and polyamory, but in a very casual, unassuming way. If MM and MMF are not your cup of tea, then steer clear. However, if you’re looking for an open-minded tale of taboo and forbidden romance that ultimately works out for its characters, then this book is for you!***

My Rating: 2 Stars
Genre Erotic Romance | MFM | Ménage

Just when you think you’ve seen everything and then you stumble on a book like this 🥴

First and foremost, this isn’t going to be a favorable review. I mean no disrespect when writing my thoughts here I’m merely sharing how I felt when reading it. I know not everyone will agree with me and there WILL be many readers who adore this one. However, it wasn’t for me… In any way. Take my review with a grain of salt, read it if I’ve left you curious, and just know that while I did love some aspect about this book (especially the underlying premise) so much of it just didn’t work for me personally.

PUSH is an erotic MFM romance. It’s about a man who ends up having his first mm experience with his DAUGHTERS BOYFRIEND while they are visiting for Thanksgiving. Eventually, these two become a thruple when the wife joins in and they live happily every after. The journey is hard, but everything seems to come together perfectly for each of them; by them I mean the husband, his wife, and his daughters now ex-boyfriend. There is an age gap theme going on here (about 17 years separate the couple) and there IS CHEATING. Apparently no one in the story cares though so why should readers? 🤷‍♀‍ That’s the gist of the story. I’ll go on to explain the parts I liked and what became problematic for me…

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗗 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞

📝 The main message of the story is that LOVE IS LOVE and it shouldn’t matter what that package looks like. Man/Man, Women/Man/Man, etc. I wholeheartedly agree with the statement that love is love and everyone should experience it however they see fit.

📝 The sex scenes were EPIC and HOT. It doesn’t matter if you like or connect with the story as a whole because you are bound to feel something when these scenes come.. 🔥

𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗟𝗜𝗞𝗘𝗗 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞

📝 One thing I hated about this book was the narrative. The author wrote these characters like they were chicks and not the badass men they were described as. Throughout the novel these seemingly alpha males would “giggle” and say the weirdest things you would never imagine coming out of a male’s mouth. It was quite uncomfortable to be honest. Had I not been intrigued with the storyline and where it might have gone, I probably would have stopped reading after the first few chapters.

📝 This book was completely unbelievable. I get it, this is fiction and its written to get readers all amped up but there was not a single thing in here that wasn’t farfetched. Everything was too perfect. “Oh, first time sleeping with a man and I decide to come on to my girlfriends’ father who is also straight, and he lets me give him a BJ. Of course, he does it back.” Or “sorry wife I know I’ve been lying and cheating on you with our daughters BF but I couldn’t help myself. SHE: It’s okay, I want to join”. 😯 🤔 Things like this went on throughout the book (and don’t forget their daughter was fine with it too) and it just felt irritating and strange.

📝 The main story revolved around Ben and Ryan and their bi-awakening I guess you could call it. However, towards the last 40 or so percent Ben’s wife decided to join. That’s, fine right? Well, it WOULD have been if these two didn’t act like she was second priority. If you’re going to write about a thruple, make it seem like EVERYONE is loved. Don’t put someone second….

📝 FINALLY, the book was TOO LONG for the subject matter. This is an erotic novel. Most of the scenes are sex scenes (which is FINE) but it lost its focus on the real story (the loving oneself and love being love). The whole concept is lost because of the length and the time taken away from the actual relationships because of all the sex.

𝗦𝗨𝗠𝗠𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗜𝗧 𝗨𝗣

This book was clearly not my cup of tea. However, I think readers who are curious should give it a try. I personally wouldn’t recommend it but I can see others wanting a sample to see if it’s a fit for them or not. Now, will I totally write this author off? NO! Absolutely not. I'm going to read her most recent release to see if I jive with her writing of if she's simply not an author for me. 🙂 I won't write an author off unless I get a few books in because not all books are for everyone!
