"You deserve to be with someone who adores you, who makes you feel like you've been struck by fucking lightning."
This is my first book by author Honey London and I still can't get over how sweet it was! I was all prepared for this angsty forbidden stepbrother romance so color me surprised when it turns out I was way off the money. Jesse and Devon were just too cute together. and HOT, but more on that later. First things first, if you're waffling on the fact that this is a stepbrother romance be warned that this is not shied away from at all. In fact, Jesse even calls Devon baby brother during the few times they are in flagrante. You picking up what I'm throwing down? Smoking what I'm growing? Good.
"My brother's smile was my favorite fucking weakness."
I absolutely loved how close these two were. Jesse is this fun loving himbo gym bro who seems to wear crocs wherever he goes, while Devon is a twinkie nerd who needs reminders to have fun once in a while. Complete opposites really, but there isn't anything one wouldn't do for the other. That includes Jesse pretending to be Devon's boyfriend at a destination wedding in order to keep his slimy ex off Devon's back. Of course we know how this trope always turns out, but it almost seemed inevitable regardless. Jesse is the person who's always been there for Devon. The man who's never let him down. He holds him when he's upset. It breaks his heart to see Devon cry over all these idiot men who don't deserve him.
"There were about a billion people who'd be a better match for Devon than I ever would. People who were smarter than I was, who had more potential than I did, who would be just as successful as my amazing brother.
But not a single fucking one of them would ever love him more than I did."
This story may have been a bit of a slow burn, but once the steam started it was damn good. Jesse has a dirty dirty mouth. And Devon isn't as innocent as he appears. The ending is lovely and happy just like the majority of the book. I'll be keeping an eye out on future books from this new to me author.
