Ayden's life changed on the day she turned six years old. In a terrible tragic accident she lost her father, the person she loved most in the world. Now nineteen, her mother reminds her often and harshly that it was her fault. It wasn't of course, but over the years the blame thrown her way from her mother has taken its toll and Ayden believes it. Her birthdays are a harsh reminder of what she lost. On her eighteenth birthday, Ayden approached a handsome man at a bar and lost her virginity to him. They never exchanged names and she never thought she'd see him again. Two weeks earlier she met a younger man who reminded her of him and she had an amazing night. Again no names and she left before he woke up the next morning. Although she's been thinking about the stranger a lot, she doesn't think she'll ever run into him. But life has a way of throwing you curve balls and Ayden had no way of knowing that the two men would be returning to her life. One as her future stepdad and the other as her soon to be stepbrother.
Wow! This is an intense, antsy read. Mason is a really great man. He cares for Ayden but obviously also for her mother. It's awkward, but he and Ayden are able to keep their secret. Hunter is another story. He's not happy that Ayden left him the next morning and knows he's not finished with her. The chemistry between he and Ayden is off the charts and he has no problems pushing her boundaries to make it clear he wants her again. The tension between them is so strong you can feel it as you read each page and you know at some point it going to blow, and it's going to blow big.
The step sibling thing - although it was there - it wasn't really weird because they met before Ayden's mom was involved and I never got the sibling feel from the characters at all. As much as I loved Hunter, he did make me mad a couple times with reactions to situations, but Ayden did too when she assumed the worst of Hunter without talking to him. Secrets kill and this story will show you that while some are worth keeping, others are not.
Overall I really liked this story. You get dual POVs, although most are from Ayden. It also ends at a very nice place which will leave you with a smile. And yes, it's a standalone with no cliffhanger.
