I loved this fantastic steamy romance between stepbrothers Atlas and Troy. They have excellent chemistry, witty banter, and a great push/pull dynamic. I devoured their story and could not get enough of these two stubborn guys who have such strong personalities and a bit of baggage, which makes their eventual discovery of their feelings such a winning moment for both of them.

The Step Bet is a medium angsty read that is full of hilarious and steamy moments between the two. I also appreciated the emotional arcs of both Atlas and Troy. Some tough familial moments made my heart ache for both characters, which is why their endless support for one another is such a great aspect of their story.

Overall I am so glad to see these two authors collaborating again. They have such an effortless blend to their writing styles that made for such a breezy, addictive read that I could not get enough of. So excited for the next entry in this series!!!

I love stepbrother reads and this one was well Devon and Riley together!

Atlas ( love the name) and Troy - like you can see the connection and ‘want’ even when they are being pita to each other, there is still love and understanding BUT when then connect wooo fire and heat and hot stuff happens!

Awesome read, awesome side characters

Let me tell you, this was flipping excellent. I was hooked immediately, then couldn’t put it down. These hurt boys share an unspoken bond and find a bit of healing. Both were strong MMCs with individual stories and pain, I loved them both! Phew, I very much enjoyed this one and the spice is, phew, top-notch.
