Angry and jealous. That’s the perfect way to describe Jason Parker. After feeling that way for so long, Jason’s had enough. He’s starting to hate who he's become and his perfect facade is cracking. Jason’s blaming everyone but himself, he’s lashing out and the only thing that matters is numbing his own pain, doubt, and guilt. 

In the aftermath of betraying his step-brother, again, Jason slowly begins to see that no one is perfect and you can’t be alone. He’s pushed his family away and used people, mostly women, to make himself feel better. If people let him walk all over them, why shouldn’t he? That’s always been his attitude but maybe it’s not right. 
When his step-brother’s ex-girlfriend shows up, Jason can't deny the pull he feels toward her. His one steamy night with her as a teenager pushed him toward the downward spiral he’s been on. He knows he should keep his distance. But he can’t seem to stay away from the pretty brunette. 

Corinne's changed since they were seventeen. She's no longer the spoiled brat out to be arm candy like her mother taught her. She sees something in Jason. Something he desperately wants to believe is real. When she pushes him to be better, he falls for her. His feelings for her are strong and he can’t ignore them forever. Once he gives in he gives it his all. He can only hope everyone is ready to see the real Jason Parker. 

Anger, betrayal, jealousy, and love. Jason and Corinne are only letting one shine through. 

We all know that guy, the one that is a jerk just because he can be. Well in Hushed, that was the Jason Parker we knew. Revealed is his story and I really enjoyed getting to know his side of things.

 

 

This book gets two stars because against all odds, I actually read the whole thing. But don't let that fool you. It's really, really not good.

It reads like fan fiction, but not in a good way. It's really rambly and meandering and indulgent with a lot of superfluous scenes and awkward dialogue that serve no purpose to the story. There's a really gross m/f sex scene, as well as a really bizarre m/m sex scene between the MC and a different character. Once the MC's get together, it's just porn. Disappointing because after you've been reading for a bazillion years, you want romance, not porn.

It's just poorly written and if it were something you stumbled across on AO3, maybe it would be alright but no one should be paying money for this.

Step Brothers - Adrianna Vincent Scorching hot story about two step-brothers who are not blood relatives. It was very rushed though and quite implausible at times. The ending felt so abrupt like the book suddenly stopped.
I wonder if that implies a sequel. In any case, I recommend as an extremely light steamy read.
