When the Ex Can’t Make You Come… But Her Dad Can
Depraved Favors was the book that first led me to B. Sobjakken’s work—and I haven’t looked back since. There’s something about explicit, unconventional erotica that draws me in, and this novel delivered exactly that.
This story centers on a forbidden, intoxicating romance between Peyton, our female lead, and her best friend’s father. Prepare yourself for a drama-laced, age-gap erotica that’s not just about the heat—it’s about heartbreak, healing, and raw human emotion.
Don’t be mistaken: while sex is the driving force of the plot, there’s so much more simmering beneath the surface. This is a story of pain, passion, revenge, and ultimately, forgiveness.

Imagine finding out your boyfriend is cheating on you. Now imagine he’s cheating on you with your best friend. And now picture having to go on a winter break getaway with that same best friend, knowing her betrayal. That’s the brutal beginning of Depraved Favors.
My heart broke for Peyton. Discovering such a deep betrayal, only to be stuck in close quarters with the person who hurt her, was devastating. The emotional unraveling she experiences felt so real, and when she turns to her friend’s father, Owen, as a way to reclaim some control—it only deepened my empathy. Her choices stemmed from hurt, and that pain shaped every moment that followed.
I won’t spoil the details of Peyton and Owen’s escapades—you’ll want to experience that journey yourself—but let me say this: their chemistry is electric. What surprised me even more was the emotional connection they forged. Owen, with his maturity and experience, recognized their bond early on, even if Peyton took a little longer to see it for what it was.
I felt no pity when Peyton eventually confronted her ex and her former best friend. She needed closure, and it was satisfying to watch her get it. Honestly, the ex couldn't even please her in the most basic of ways—a fitting metaphor for how selfish and inadequate he was, both emotionally and physically.
Then comes the twist: Peyton finds out she’s pregnant. This moment shifted the tone of the book for me. Her fears about Owen not wanting the child—fueled by the lies her best friend had told—were heartbreaking. The loneliness she felt during those early months was palpable. But when Owen reappears at her graduation and immediately steps up, accepting both Peyton and their unborn child, I was moved. It was such a full-circle moment of healing and redemption.
Owen completes the puzzle. The rest of the book is a mix of steamy, sensual moments (yes, even while pregnant) and tender, heartwarming scenes of preparing for their baby.
Depraved Favors is a bold, emotional, and sexy ride. It takes the taboo and turns it into something unexpectedly touching.
If you're looking for a steamy age-gap romance with real emotional stakes, this book is for you. I was pleasantly surprised, especially after being let down by Devious Whims. Depraved Favors not only reignited my faith in this author—it completely blew me away.
