Stepbrother Dearest by Willow Dixon
4.0

Stepbrother’s Never Gets Old


I am really enjoying the Crimson Club Series from Willow Dixon. This is the second book I have read in this series, of course I read the last one first because I have no impulse control.

This was a fast paced, easy read, perfectly smutty book. The character development was great, I truly cared about Gray and Caleb and wanted to see them get their HEA.

I am also seriously impressed by the way consent, and mental health issues are treated in each of the books I have read by this author. It’s a subject that can be difficult and in this series it has been written in a way that is sensitive and respectful. This book also discusses aftercare beautifully. I haven’t read any books that address aftercare in any meaningful sense and this book does it beautifully.

This book was a welcome break from the dark romance genre that I love, but it’s great to have a read that just feels good and delivers in the smutty content that I love. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series and the interconnected series that proceeds it.
