Review: A Step Two Close by Jaimie Roberts

****4 Stars****
 
 
Hero 4.5 stars
Heroine 4 stars
Plot 3 stars
Romance 4 stars
Sex Factor 5 stars
What attracted me to this book the most was the idea that this could possibly be so much more than all the other Step-Brother romances that are out there right now.
With this book, there was a history with Ayden's step-father and that for me is what could set it apart from everything else. Unfortunately, the uniqueness of a possible step father/step brother love triangle just didn't really come into play for me and I do feel that more emphasis on a love triangle could have turned it from a good book into a great book.
Having said that, Jaimie did not dissappoint on how insanely hot this book was. There were definitely a few hot (and i mean HOT with a capital HOT) under the collar moments with the explosive chemistry between Hunter and Ayden.
I absolutely loved Hunter's character. He was your typical hot and sexy bad boy with a filthy, dirty mouth and an equally hot father who was about to marry the most evil vile mother I've come across in a book. She almost seemed unbelievable at times.
As for Ayden, I really liked her as a character, but the fact that she seemed to attract every male within a square mile radius and turn them into sex crazed monsters was almost too much at times.
If I'm perfectly truthful, I did find the ending to be a little rushed, but despite this book's negatives, there were, for me, many more positives and it was quite frankly a book I couldn't put down.

Synopsis
 
I used sex to help me forget.
To help me numb the pain.
Because for those few minutes of pleasure, I could shut it all off.
The reminders of all that I had lost. All that I had endured.
Of all that I saw die before my eyes.

I slept with a man I can’t get out of my head. It was supposed to be a one-time thing with no attachments and no commitments. No names were exchanged, no phone numbers swapped. And that was fine by me... until I lay awake at night, dreaming about that man’s caress. Wanting and yearning to feel his touch once more.

But one day, my fantasies of seeing this man become an all-too-consuming, nightmarish reality. Suddenly, he is in my house, that cocky grin of his silently promising more to come.

And the reason being? His father is getting married to my mother. We are going to be family.

I am in the seven circles of hell. His look alone consumes my soul and makes me beg for more. He wants me and is determined to get me. I’m his obsession, and I’ve just become a slave to his infatuation... to the games he likes to play. The games he knows will have me surrendering to his will.

But that’s not the only problem. That’s not the only reason I am living in my own personal hell.

The year before I met my soon-to-be step-brother, Hunter... The year I made a decision that will ultimately end up destroying my very soul...

I lost my virginity to Hunter’s dad.
