Ronan
It’s not that I like being single. I’d love to be swept off my feet just as much as the next girl, but my problem is I want unattainable men. Nightbreed is an enigma I can’t shake. With his chiseled abs and masked thirst traps online, he’s everything I think I want in a man. The only problem? He doesn’t know I exist. With hundreds of thousands of followers, I’m only one tiny fish in an ocean of unhinged women who want his attention, so when he posts a contest with a personalized FaceTime call being the prize, there’s no part of me that thinks I’ll win. But I can be more unhinged than people think.
And then there’s Ronan, my hotter-than-hell step-brother. Though I have no idea what his body looks like these days because he stays covered up, he’s the reason I find myself thirsting over masktok in the first place. No guy I’ve ever met in person has held a candle to him. He's strong, powerful, and protective in ways most men can only dream of.
So no, I don’t want to be single anymore, I just can’t have either of the men I want. But when secrets slip and masks come off, I’m not sure which man I’m falling for—or which one might destroy me first.

This was so amazing😭❤️🔥🦋💫
First of all I just need to say that I love Ronan, he’s so fxcking HOT😫😫❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 The mouth he has on him makes my heart skip beats and makes butterflies fly all over. Atley is a bratty badass and I love how bold she is. One thing I can always count on from Kady Ash is that I’ll need a cold shower after reading one of her books. The writing, storytelling and plot is always top tier. One thing I wish that happened sooner is Ronan telling Atley who he really was. I wish we got more of them as Ronan and Atley rather than Nightbreeder and Atley. I just love them as who they are together. Aside from that, I’m so glad I decided to binge read this book. They’re perfect together and I’m so glad they got their happy ending🤧💜 I’m also excited to read Orions book. Even tho we didn’t see a lot from him, I really like his character. Whenever Kady releases a new book, I’m always excited to read it♥️🦋

STEPBROTHER KINK - I dig.
This was fast and fun, a little superficial without a real plot.
Full blown smut, but I like it when the fancy strikes.
It was taboo, hot and so fucking dirty yet wholesome in its own way.

Kady Ash has delivered another ovulation read contender with this one. Anonymous sex but it’s actually your step brother who you’ve had a crush on forever who started a masktok account to get your attention but masked too close to the sun?
Yh, I’ll take 14 of them
