Gratify

De: Katelyn Taylor

Narrado por: 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!?!?

It was okay

Story was good but there were so many cringy aspects about the story. It was okay overall

Gratify

My first 🎧book by this author and it was good but it could’ve been great with just a few changes. The narration was on point by Emma Wilder but I can’t say the same about Lucas Dixon his voice was good but not necessarily for this character(he sounds more like a mob boss)I think Troy Duran, Christian Fox or Jason Clark would’ve been a better choice. The storyline was good, it started off fantastic then it kinda dipped almost too angsty.😕 The book had some hot sex scenes sure but it’s not enough, it was too long and it gets a bit boring then at the end it’s rushed to a HFN.😝 You’re probably wondering is it worth the credit? For me it’s a no thanks but if this sounds right up your alley you should give it a try you might love it…Enjoy!

YUM

If you are looking for an actual age gap (18/41) full of smut, and completely taboo/forbidden... this book is for you.

He's her ex's father, her father's best friend, and her Godfather.
This forbidden age gap is a quick read packed with spice.

I wanted to love this book but there were some things that just didn't do it for me.

First, the FMC name is Andromeda or often times called Neveah - personally I did not like this and found it annoying.

Second, there wasn't really a connection or any real chemistry between Atlas and Andromeda. I felt like their relationship was pure physical attraction/desire and lacked emotion.

Overall, I gave this a solid 3 stars. Was it my favorite, no. Would I recommend it for someone wanting a spicy age gap, yes.

Brooke Daniels and Lucas Dixon did a great job! I loved their voices and tone throughout!

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.

Ended abruptly

Good story, though I would have loved a duet style. The burn is SLOW—much slower than I normally enjoy. But it was worth it. The ending seemed to abruptly cut off, where I would have loved a bit more. But that seems to be the theme of the book, “just a little more”.

Sooo Goood!!

"I'll easily push my own pain to the side to see her through this."

🖤Gratify is a binge worthy age gap (23 years) taboo forbidden romance!! This book kept me hooked to the end. Overall, it had a great storyline, and the character growth and development throughout the story was top tier!! I don't normally like slow burn reads, but this one really did it for me! Once the spice took off, it never left!! The characters in this book go through every emotion, and the writing truly makes you feel it right along with them 🖤

I would love to see a spin-off book about Theo and where his journey takes him as well. I started off the book hating him for what he did to the FMC but ended up liking him in the end!!
