BLURB:
Dane Brooks has a secret. Ever since he was a teenager, he has been in love with his stepbrother Brady, but since the night of their parents’ tragic death, Dane has been racked with so much guilt and shame that his true feelings must remain hidden.
That is, until the night Brady calls him from an undisclosed address, asking for Dane to join him.
Rushing to his stepbrother’s side, Dane finds himself inside a mysterious mansion, a place of debauchery and lust, where desires are set free and every fantasy is fulfilled. In this parlor of pleasure and pain, can the two stepbrothers finally unlock the chains of their love?
REVIEW:
Stepbrothers in Chains by Liberty Lace has a wonderfully tantalizing opening that totally draws you in and sets the stage for Brady and Dane’s story.
As Brady is being bid on at an exclusive gentlemen’s club, he would never have expected to be purchased, and intellectually dominated, by the ever observant and challenging Dr. Darius. By playing on his fears, Dr. Darius inevitably draws out Brady’s true desire: to be with his step brother, Dane.
Lace then skips over to Dane. From his point of view we learn that he himself harbors his own secret desire for Brady.
With the author setting the scene for the mutual, yet concealed, attraction between the two, Dane receives a phone call from Brady telling him a car will come pick him up—he needs Dane to trust him and meet him.
From here,
Liberty takes you on an utterly enjoyable and yummy ride!
As Dane is taken to meet Brady, his flashbacks to when they were kids show you their building bond. You also see that they both harbor tremendous guilt over an almost kiss several years back.
A moment lost due to a tragedy that would change both of their lives—forever.
That enduring guilt has stunted their ability to pursue their feelings for one another. But they are still as close as two stepbrothers can be; living together, working together and always having each other’s backs.
Just as that day so long ago changed their lives forever, so will this one phone call from Brady!
As Dane finally meets up with Brady, Dr. Darius sets them both on a journey to fix what is standing between the two of them…in the most mouthwatering way possible! This process emboldens them to use their honesty and courage to unlock their love.
Liberty Lace has an absolutely unique way of taking the taboo and using it as a platform to remind us that we don’t choose who we love, but rather we are driven to certain people by uncontrollable forces. In Stepbrothers in Chains, Brady and Dane were preoccupied with their love for one another for far too long and it took one special man, a chance meeting, as well as their own fortitude to help them break free of their chains.
