Publisher's Summary

TROY

Sometimes I want to punch that smirk off Atlas McCallister's pretty face.

He's cocky. A troublemaker. A pain.

And, unfortunately, my stepbrother.

We've been fire and kerosene since our parents got together, and to keep from exploding into fistfights, we've used challenges, dares, and bets to battle out our differences.

Our past bets have been a little inappropriate—scandalous, even—but Atlas's latest bet has gone too far.

Do I really believe if he loses, my straight stepbrother is gonna mess around with a guy? And not just any guy: me, his rival and nemesis?

Not a chance.

But if he's so confident he's gonna win...well, my big stepbro must not know me as well as he thinks...

ATLAS

I love getting under Troy's skin.

Mr. Former Prom King. Mr. Heartthrob. Mr. Infuriatingly Perfect. Messing with him is too easy. Too fun. Maybe that's why I'm a little obsessed with him.

Our latest bet is the perfect way for me to test the bisexual waters, and once I dive headfirst into the deep end, I don't want to stop.

With Troy. My stepbro.

It was supposed to be just a little fun, yet with each touch, I like him more than I should. It wasn't supposed to go this far. Now I want Troy to be all mine.

But what we're doing has bigger consequences than our little step bet, and when the stakes are this high, is it worth gambling our hearts when we know this is a game we both could lose?

This is the first book in the Peach State Stepbros Series. It can be listened to as a standalone.

Trigger Warning: The Step Bet is a steamy romance, but one of the secondary characters struggles with addiction. This may act as a trigger for some listeners.

I absolutely love when Riley and Devon write together. They are the perfect writing match and this book did not disappoint.

2 boys with heartache. Atlas lost his mom in a car crash (some say suicide) and was left with a father who hates him and the woman his father was cheating on his mother with and her son. Troy lost his father and his brother who turned to drugs.

The 2 MCs are in college and usually in past books that I have read that meant the characters were really immature or acted like stereotypical frat bros and that really turns me off but that was not the case with this book thankfully. I was sucked in from the beginning and thoroughly enjoyed all their back and forth banter, teasing and bets. This was a nice light read. Their feelings for each other changing so quickly did feel rather instalove but I loved it anyways. It had fun plot with some very sweet moments and lots and lots of steam. This included a marking kink which isn't seen too often and I enjoyed that addition. I will say that I called how it was going to end from the very start. It was pretty predictable but it was also the best possible outcome for all involved so I enjoyed it.

The world building and side characters were great in this. The other step brothers mentioned really intriguing me. I'm looking forward to the next book.

I immediately had to buy the audio after reading this and it was just as great the 2nd time.

The narrator did a fantastic job. He had a pleasant voice to listen to, was age appropriate and kept a great pace. He expressed all of the emotions wonderfully. Not only did he give the 2 main characters their own distinct voice but all of the side characters as well. All the voices suited the characters and were pleasant to listen to.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
