About this listen

I shouldn't want him the way that I do…

Tyler

My world flipped upside down when my Dad suddenly remarried. What ten-year-old wants that surprise dropped on him? I wasn't expecting my stepbrother to become my best friend, my everything, and the source of my utter confusion. I didn't realize he was hiding something from me, and I didn't mean to see it. It made me question everything.

Garrett

As close as we'd become over the last nine years, I never meant to hide my biggest secret from Tyler. I didn't want our relationship to change. What would he think if he knew I always imagined him in their place? Now that he knows the truth, how am I supposed to handle him being so curious?

Sweet Step-bother Romance

This book is super sweet. Tyler and Garrett are serious couple goals. I love how their relationship develops. The narration for this is also spot on. I really loved the narrator for this. Must listen!

Tyler and Garrett

Garrett has a instant connection with Tyler and as they grew up together his feelings kept getting stronger. When they were older Tyler walked in on a uncomfortable situation with Garrett and it changed how Tyler saw Garrett. They had lots of drama surrounding them from their so called friends. Watching Tyler come out of his shy shell and stand up to the bullies was very heartwarming. I liked this book very much and recommend it.

I loved the way Tyler and Garrett supported each other. It was clear from the moment they met that there was something special between them.

Step brother romance

This audio is really good. I read the book previously and still enjoy the story. Step brothers is one of my favorite tropes. Tyler and Garrett are great together and I enjoyed them both. I liked how the relationship developed and that they were really close the whole time. There is one scene though that kept it from 5 stars. One of the MCs acts weird during a scene, to the point it is mentioned repeatedly in the other’s POV and it never really gets explained. Still a really great, steamy listen.

Oliver Williams is a new to me narrator and I enjoyed his voices and narration. It all seemed very natural and kept me engaged. It did have a slight, I don’t think echo-y, is quite right, quality to the sound. The story and narration otherwise got me engrossed in the story and I stopped noticing.

I can’t wait for more audio from both Joelle and Oliver.

This audiobook was so good. I absolutely loved the narration of this book. It had me hooked from the moment I listened to it.

Garrett and Tyler were simply perfect. This was probably one of the best step brother and finding yourself books I’ve ever read. I really loved the flashbacks so that we could really understand both characters from how they met to how they moved through life.

Garrett has always been in love with Tyler and he just feels Tyler will never see him but a stepbrother and then things for Tyler when he hears a house in the bathroom, which truly wakes him up. I love how they experiment together, which draws them together in the best way ever.

I never thought I could dislike a character as much as I did for Toby and Maisy. What they did to the boys, especially Tyler was just cruel and mean. Jealousy at its worst.

And can I say I love the parents so much?! I love how supportive they were. Sure, Tyler’s dad took a bit to handle it, but all he wanted was for his boys to be happy.

The spicy scenes were so perfect. I loved how in tune they were with each other or just how they couldn’t keep their hands off of one another. From the secrecy to finally being able to kiss each other in public. Just so bittersweet.

What I really loved was how close the two were over the years, especially the cuddling and the holding. That’s how I knew they would be perfect together.

I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.

Sweet and Spicy Step-Bro Romance!

I really enjoyed listening to Oliver Williams, both he and the author Joelle Lynne are new to me so I felt doubly pleased that I discovered this title. The only thing that I disliked is that it felt like Tyler was willfully ignorant of Garrett's sexuality - almost to the point of contrived ridiculous levels - and Garrett unnecessarily kept Tyler in the dark about his sexuality.

4 starz - worthy of a repeat listen

My favorite book of Joelle’s!

Great narration by Oliver Williams.
This is my favorite book of Joelle’s. I love a stepbrother trope and this is a great one!
Garrett and Tyler have always been close as stepbrothers, and everyone thinks it’s something more. They’ve always just been best friends and done everything together, but never anything more. When Tyler catches Garrett in a compromising position, it’s the first time he sees him in this new light. Though both of them know this could be a horrible idea, they can’t stay away from each other. Steamy first times, sweet moments, and experimenting galore ensue, and the boys manage to keep things quiet. Until a jealous hook-up turns nasty, and Tyler and Garrett are forced to decide if this just an experiment or the real thing.
-Sweet and steamy
-Stepbrothers
-It was always you

Great Story

I haven’t ever read this book so I went into this audio not knowing the story at all. I loved the story, the slightly forbidden. The narration was really good as well. One person doing two voices takes talent!

So Sweet!

I loved Tyler and Garrett! Realizing their attraction, they decide to explore their feelings.

The narrator was amazing, and was able to capture both characters and their personalities well. Excellent job!!
