chez_jaeI started reading an ebook, not realizing it was a novella, as compared to a short story. Eh, well. The story was Stepbrother Wolf, by C A Taylor.
Author Dakota spends a long weekend, surrounded by family at the annual reunion. While there, he reconnects with his stepbrother, Dalton, whom Dakota has been harboring a crush on. He tries not to let his feelings show, since they are practically related.
For Dalton's part, he's just now realizing how attractive his younger stepbrother, Dakota, is. He keeps his distance, because not only are they stepbrothers, but Dalton is a werewolf. When Dakota finds himself in danger in the woods, Dalton has to reveal himself to protect Dakota. Passions are running high, and the two share a steamy encounter in the wilderness.
Once back home, Dakota can't stop thinking about Dalton. Soon after, Dalton's job sends him to NYC, where Dakota lives. They hook up again, but there are forces at work, supernatural ones, that are conspiring to keep them apart. With both of their lives in danger, family bonds are the least of their worries.
It was a decent enough story. There were a few surprises thrown in to make it more enjoyable.
Favorite line: "Every single relationship in the world offends someone in some way."
Neither remarkably good, nor remarkably bad...3 stars:
