Book Review: Forget Your Morals

Forget Your Morals, while the second in the Carlson Brothers series by Sarah Blue, was the first one I read. I saw that books 1 and 2 ran side by side, so you can read them in either order with minor spoilers if you read Forget Your Morals first.

It was a risk I was willing to take because I was coming off of a 15 holiday rom-com book bender and, ironically, needed something dirty to cleanse my palate.

When it says “Forget Your Morals” it means… Forget. Your. Morals. This is a taboo relationship, between Lincoln and Penny, and kink-friendly book from start to finish. I loved learning about an entirely new (to me) kink in greater detail and I’m grateful to the author for the research she did to make it realistic. My one complaint is that she provided an incredibly helpful QR code – that led to a graphic artist’s rendering of the positions of the MMC and FMC – after the second encounter, but by then it was too late to save me (as was promised) from the P*rnhub search to figure out what was happening. Sarah – put that at the beginning girl!

I struggled with the taboo relationship (that’s a me issue!) and ended up imagining it as a “best friend/long time family friend” and that helped me through it for anyone else who might struggle with it and it’s why it’s just a 3* for me. However, the book was well written, deliciously angsty, and I loved how it handled the complicated issue of telling your family about a taboo relationship while also telling them kindly to go fu…uh… forget their morals… if they have a problem with it.

I often find that in an effort to normalize less traditional relationships, books often act as if everyone is ok with it, and that’s just not realistic even if we wish it were. So I really appreciated the author showing both outcomes of exposing that kind of taboo relationship within a family dynamic.
