Seduced By My Stepdad: Snowed In & Falling Hard For This Age Gap Romance By C.J. Riggs

Seduced by my Stepdad by C.J. Riggs

18+ Contains Adult Content

Seduced by My Stepdad is an age gap romance novella from the amazing C.J. Riggs. I have spoken about Riggs many times before on my blog, so it is no lie that I love this woman and her work. Riggs is known for her erotic horrors depicting feminine rage. This book is completely different. Dare I say this is cute? This is 100% a romance, which follows Robyn and Jack. Jack is married to Robyn’s mother, not for much longer, but he is still married to her. Robyn comes to stay with her mother, whom she rarely sees and doesn’t have much of a relationship with, only to find her mother has once again forgotten about her. She ends up staying with Jack since there is a bad storm, which results in them being snowed in. Jack is drawn to Robyn and vice versa, but they are determined not to give in to the pull. Until they do, but only until the snow thaws, then they go their separate ways…right?

Bookish Life Updates: My 2025 Reading Journey

Let me start off by apologising for being MIA. Life became crazy when we signed for a new flat on the 12th December. I spent all of December packing, painting the new flat and dealing with chronic illness flare-ups that left me unable to do pretty much anything. Then, of course, with it being the Christmas period, it was hard work getting movers and carpet fitters. It was very stressful, and my body definitely paid a hefty price. We are in the new flat. Mostly unpacked, and are settling in nicely.

So… let’s talk books.

So she does what anyone would do, she drags him to the bathroom, where he shows her that his mouth has a much better use than talking. She doesn’t want his name, just a quick fumble. Except it turns out that the stranger whose face she just rode, is her sister’s boyfriend, Jinx. Jinx, who is obsessed with Mara, uses her sister to get close to Mara. Gianna Mara’s sister turns up dead, with all the evidence pointing to Jinx.
