Thank you to Luna Literary for an ARC of this book. Step Brother Bear follows Isabella as she moves back in with her mother and stepfather after she is broken up with and fired from her job. Once home, she discovers that her stepbrother that she has never really been around due to him being sent to boarding school most of their lives has also moved back in as well. I didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. The taboo of it all and the spicy scenes were great. I just think the author leaned too much into them hating each other for too long, I just never felt the love that they said had developed between them because of the bickering that they did. I also found it silly that her mom was apparently a parent / family influencer while also being a terrible parent that does nothing for/with her kids.
