Uncle Ed's Lap by Parker Ford

1.0

On one hand, I found this book kind of hot in the sense that I totally understand the appeal an older and more experienced man has over a young woman.
Also, I could understand the thrill Fiona felt when she saw her deepest fantasy take place, since she had a crush on Ed forever.

On the other hand, I totally thought that this book was a hot ass mess!
I didn't like the crude language at all!
It is so not cool to read the C words over and over again and expressions like "jacking off"! -.-
The English language has other words and expressions that mean the same and yet, don't leave people with a certain uncomfortable sensation.

Another thing that I didn't like has to do with Fiona and Ed's behavior.
First, Ed freaking out and screaming that Fiona was a slut and a witch that put a spell on him so that he had the urge to have sex with her is just ridiculous.
Then, I totally hate that Fiona is always calling him "uncle", even when they're doing it.
And Ed is always calling her "child" and "good girl".
Talk about a turn off! --'

Also, Fiona is too damn immature to my liking and Ed seems to want to be a sort of father figure to all, which is just plain disgusting since he is having sex with her.

At last, what's with people crying while having sex? --'
I should think that sex is a pleasant experience and that, if the circumstances are right, an experience in which both participants are willing.
So why crying so much? That is just weird and it takes whatever pleasure the reader is getting from reading the intimate scenes.

They are NOT blood related
The title of this book is more scandalous than the story itself!
I'll admit reading this was a bit odd for me . It was weird at some points so I didn't know how to feel about it honestly.But it was Ok!
Short fun read. and the cover is beautiful!!

I am fighting not to give this a lower rating, but I wouldn't feel right punishing the book for being what it was intended to be. There are parts that were really uncomfortable and I guess realistically speaking it would have to be in this scenario, but the problem for me is that I do not want to think realistically about this scenario. I want it to remain a sexy naughty fantasy. In the end I found more disturbing about this book than I found erotic. Perhaps because this was such a short novella at just under 18k words, there wasn't enough time to properly deal with the issues presented.

Spoiler

The scene where he calls her a slut and she tells him no, that she changed her mind, was rape and it made me sad. Fiona says she was lying later and I had to go back to re read it and no, she wasn't.

"Rearing back, tears coming to my eyes. I tried to turn and he caught me up, his one big hand acting like a collar around my neck, keeping me facing forward. I did start to cry then. What was wrong with him?"....

Then

He pushed at my thighs again and I resisted. I had changed my mind. I wasn't a slut. I wasn't a witch.

He pushed and I shook my head. “No!”

“Shut up!” He smacked my ass again.

And then

...“Let me go,” I begged.

“No,” he said, beginning to thrust

Just because she started to enjoy it later doesn't forgive him taking her choice away no matter how she justifies it.



Also, the scene where she wears her aunts clothing and pretends to be her so that her uncle can say goodbye was really not sexy or naughty, it was weird, and I didn't understand it

Okay, don't judge me for reading this book. I was looking for a plot the same as "Forbidden" but this book is not the same at all.
I didn’t hate nor love it. It was okay tho.
