Of all the people who could have seen me when I was at my most vulnerable, it had to be him.

Caleb. My stepbrother and the golden child of our messed up blended family. We barely know each other, but for some reason, he takes care of me when an incident at the club leaves me helpless and alone.

He hates me as much as I hate him, but something about his bossy attitude and unflappable calm soothes me. I don't want to want him, but no one has ever made me feel the way he does.

Hooking up with my enemy is stupid as f--k. So is breaking my one-and-done rule for him. I know this, but whatever is between us will eventually burn out, and I can go back to my solitary life and forget all about how amazing it feels to let someone else take control.

Gray and Caleb's story is an enemies-with-benefits-to-lovers romance between stepbrothers who discover that, sometimes, the person you hate is the only one who can give you what you need. Expect lots of steamy encounters, tons of dirty talk, and reluctant feels as these two enemies learn the truth about themselves and each other. It is the first book in the exciting new Crimson Club series but can be enjoyed as a standalone.

I would say the story is about 3.5 stars. performance is mostly good. I don't particularly enjoy Graham's narrator because all the male voices come off as frat bro-y and doesn't really fit Caleb. That and they're not disimilar enough to always know who is talking.
There are a lot of things I am kinda critical with when it comes to the story. Everyone in Graham's family comes off as kinda... terrible. From his PoV, they all come off as insensitive and uncaring. They don't seem to think to hard about Graham's trauma and his feelings. Like... leaving him alone his birthday to celebrate his step dad's extended families' birthdays. But the reader has to pretend they're good people near the end of the book. It feels gross.
Also, the author doesn't find the right balance between sweet and cringey when the family meets. It swings too far into the cringe and the conversations feel awkward. Caleb acting like a nervous mess also doesn't really fit his character either.
That and the catharsis between Graham and West feels... empty. Cue whoopie cushion noise. It was a forced conversation in the middle of a party and just felt meh.
I could write more but I won't.

Mostly good!

This book was great. But the guys reading it aloud for us made it a 1000 times better and made of wet dreams.

Amazing
