STEP SUMMER
McKenna
I’ve spent the three years I’ve known Blake Reynolds looking at him out of the corner of my eye, too afraid to look closer and like what I see. No matter that he has the warm, hazel eyes of a person who’s seen the world, a body built by professional lacrosse and decorated with gorgeous tattoos, and a heart that believes in me even when no one else seems to—I can’t like him. Not the way I want to. So I don’t look until I have to, until we’re forced to spend the summer living in the same beach house.
And then I can’t look away.
Blake
McKenna Maycomb is everything the girl of your dreams should be—funny, sweet, and gorgeous. She’s more than a naive dreamer like everyone believes, and I want to protect her from the world. And from myself. With a fresh breakup behind me and an addiction I’m trying to quit, I’m no good for anyone right now. But Kenna looks past that and sees me, believes I’m the good guy she wants. She’s wrong about me, but I can’t help trying to prove her right. And the more late night swims and beach bonfires between us, the more the connection between us grows too. But I’m ten years older than her and McKenna’s not mine to love—not as long as our parents are married. That’s right, I said our parents. I’m McKenna’s stepbrother.
Loving her could destroy my family. Losing her could destroy my heart.
Coming: June 6, 2019
I'm his.
He's mine.
This is ours.

This is a NEW to me author & books! I appreciate my ARC and was hooked by the blurb mainly, plus the fact that I love me some forbidden romance that is still very sweet!
McKenna is a young lady who is torn in life. Not sure to either continue a dream her family wants for her or stay home and follow her dream of running a flower-shop. Therefore she stays at her family's summer house, to try and get her life in order. Enter Blake her step-brother who is in the same predicament, Needing to decide what and where to go next. What went from innocent flirtation and a familiar state, turned to heat.
There is a lot in here, secrets, mystery, romance, guilt, slow-burn, angsty, and oh so sweet! It's a perfect summer read to be honest. I am glad that I gave this a try and the writing style is just SMOOTH! I love those because it makes the story easy to read and the transitions perfect. The sexy scenes in this, again, also something that was perfectly executed! The characters may have been young, but mature enough even for me to be ale to read. (If you know me, you know how much I have issues with young characters and the immaturity!) This was excluded because there was a maturity to it's level!
