This is the second book in this Stepbrother taboo erotica series. Aaron and Grayson become closer. There is some emotional devolvement as the brothers get closer. They take their intimate actives a step further (while not going all the way yet) and start to develop feelings towards one another. Aaron makes a sweet and personal present for Grayson. Their parents are officially getting married and have a sister on the way.
This was also a very, very short read, 25 pages. I am interested in seeing how their relationship will progress. I am also hoping for more spice in the next book. Overall this was a simple and easy read. No real plot but curious to know what will happen next, like will their parents catch them?
Grayson and Aaron are two college students, soon to be stepbrothers and sharing a room. In part 1, the boys pretty well ignore each other until Aaron unexpectedly walks in on Grayson, catching him unawares, creating awkwardness between the two. Later that day, they engage in some mutual sexual exploration, interrupted when the parents come home with news of a pregnancy and upcoming marriage. Part 2 begins as the family is sharing a toast to the happy couple, and the boys learn the roommate situation will last longer than expected. As the news sinks in, they need to decide whether to continue the sexual experimenting or not. Not being male, I thought this seemed to be a pretty believable situation and outcome for two young men at this time and place in their lives. It is a short story, and I would think a continuation of other books could be possible to expand on the story of Grayson and Aaron.

This is book number 2 for Aaron and Grayson. We originally met them in Sharing a Room with his Stepbrother part 1. If you haven’t read part 1 yet, get to it. You won’t regret it. Part 2 picks up where part 1 leaves off and gives us a better glimpse of Aaron and Grayson exploring their shared attraction to each other and developing more of an emotional bond as they get to know each other more. They explore their physical attraction towards each other a bit more in this story as well without going fully intimate with each other yet. I love the touching way Aaron honored Grayson’s mom with his special project! I can’t wait to see (hopefully) how their relationship progresses! This was a great addition to this storyline!

Grayson and Aaron continue to get closer This is the second book in the series a room with his stepbrother. And Aaron and Grayson are just getting closer and closer they talk about everything but the complication is now that their parents are getting married and when the parents call them brothers it really does hit a cord they don’t like it. I am so excited to see where these two go because it is so obvious that they have a strong bond a strong connection. Feelings are getting involved. I can’t wait to book 3.

Trish is super relieved that the boys are getting along. She had been concerned about Grayson’s aloofness, but now her doubts have been assuaged. Trish makes a concerted effort, letting Grayson know that his mother is irreplaceable, and that she loves the new family they’re creating with his father.
Grayson is happy to have family around for the first time in a long time.
Aaron really knows how to push Grayson’s buttons. They have some extremely sweet moments.
Excellent detail and description.
Grayson can’t stop thinking of Aaron, and he quickly realizes that it’s more than just the action.
Surprising experiences and emotions. Excellent HFN conclusion.
I enjoyed this second instalment in the Sharing a Room story. This is a really short story that picks up the story of Aaron and Grayson shortly after book I. It is hot and sexy, but also emotional and sweet, as the guys continue to learn about each other more intimately. I received an ARC and I really like the guys, but I wish the sections were longer. I don't see myself paying $3 for what amounts to only a couple chapters (25-28 pages) of a full book.

This picks up right at the end of the previous book. Grayson and Aaron's parents have a big surprise for them, and it means that they're going to have to room together for longer than expected.
For some reason, they find that this isn't as big an inconvenience as their parents might think.
This was really promising but the ending feels unfulfilled. It appears the author has considered writing more, but at least for now this is all we get, and it wasn't quite enough for me.
Book 2 of the “trilogy” series and things are heating up (more spicy: handjobs, bj) with delicious development of feelings added.
There was such cute tenderness between those two boys, I didn’t expect that much emotional depth tbh but thoroughly enjoyed it. Something about them just cuddling in bed, revelling in such simple but still intimate touch, was really touching.
Further bi-awakening journey by one MC with his growing crush on the other was a delight to read.
This was a great book. This is the second book and it picks up right where the first on ended with Grayson and Aaron. These two can't help but feel the pull towards each other and while this book is really steamy, these is also a lot of emotions that come through. I really hope we get another book with these two.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the first one and hoped it would continue. I feel the same about this one. It continues right where the first left off. We get more bonding time between Greyson and Aaron, a nice family moment, and a sweet surprise (that I absolutely loved!). I really hope there will be a part three! 5 stars.
Grayson is still struggling with what he is feeling for his stepbrother, Aaron. He feels the connection and wants to explore it. Aaron knows himself and gives Grayson the time he needs.
Grayson and Aaron's story continues.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Grayson and Aaron's relationship is developing at a pace they are both comfortable with. While they are keeping it secret from others, they are being honest with each other.
A sensual learning experience for these soon to be step brothers. Loved the open honesty and the patience being provided from both of them learning to understand one another.

This is the spicy sequel which was nonetheless spicy! Harry Applebottom certainly knows how to write these spicy short stories! This one did not disappoint. I so enjoy reading his stories! He knows his stuff!

Editing my reviews as I re-read parts 1 & 2 before reading part 3 that just came out. Although I do like the core of the story, the writing is… off. Something is just off. Some words are used incorrectly or it seems like the author just used a thesaurus to find a more flowery word instead of what they originally wrote.
I do recommend the book if you like the tropes but maybe read the sample first. All parts must be read in order.
