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.
Warning: Contains scenes of emotional and physical abuse. Readers with sensitivity to such subjects are advised to proceed with caution.

How much more awkward can things get when your mother's fiancee's was also a one night

As you can well imagine by that one question, there has to be another twist somewhere... And
of course there is!! But let's make something clear first: Ayden slept with Mason a year ago,
before her mother met him, and names weren't exchanged and they never were to meet ever
again. The awkwardness?!? Two weeks before her mother introduced her new boyfriend, Ayden
slept with Mr. Orgasmic, the best lay she's ever had with the green eyed man, only she can't
stop thinking about him and ran out of the hotel room as soon as she could. Too bad she didn't
run far enough - Mason's son turns out to be Mr. Orgasmic, Hunter, and he will stop at nothing
to have her back in his bed to finish what they had started to get her out of his system. I won't
deny that I've read in the past weeks quite a few stepbrother stories; some were exciting, some
were ok, and others were downright questionable. Jaime Roberts' A Step Two Close that kept
me coming back no matter what else I had to do. The kind of novel where I had to keep telling
myself just one more chapter and then I'll go finish that other thing I was doing, only to find out
I'm still reading and haven't moved in five hours and whatever else I was doing has gone out
straight out the window. Compared to many stepbrother novels, Hunter has vulnerable side that
we get to see often, that needs to protect Ayden, and yet, I cringe at his reaction when he'll find
out about her night with his father. Her mother, quite frankly, I hope rots in hell, but that's only
my opinion, and that, again, is something I have not seen in any of these types of novels -
interesting if not thought provoking (had she been real and I a friend of Ayden's I'd probably be
inclined to smack her a few times asking her how she liked it). All in all, I loved it, and can't wait
to see whether or not another stepbrother can match or surpass this one, or if Jaimie Roberts
has any other novel as interesting as this one.
