We’re cuddly stepbrothers. Usually it’s with clothes on, sure, but it doesn’t mean anything.
Riley Hart and Devon McCormack are back with another hot stepbrother romance!
I adored Ash and Colin’s friendship, and how they both were delightfully naïve at times when it came to their feelings for each other. Their casual affection and cuddling was really sweet and I liked how effortless and natural it seemed for them to go from best friend and stepbrothers to more. There was barely any angst at all, and their story was full of sweet and spicy moments.
It took me a little time to get into the story and grasp their personalities, but once I did I enjoyed the story. Their relationship turned sexual pretty quickly, but I didn’t feel like it needed more relationship development since they’d been close for a long time and already knew a lot about each other. They communicated pretty well and it was cute how they kept adding things to their Step Do and Don’ts.
The authors definitely added some extra spice to this one, and the exhibitionism was very hot! It was fun to see Ash and Colin explore together and the thrill they both got from it, and there were a lot of steamy scenes in this one.
The Step Don’t was a great follow up to The Step Bet, and I really enjoyed Ash and Colin’s story. It was a fun read, and I was very into the combination of stepbrothers, co-dependency and kink!
