TAYLOR
 
I'm the quiet one.
At a party, I'll be sipping from my Solo cup, hanging by my much chattier best friend Brenner.
Easygoing, all smiles, and hot as hell, Brenner always has his pick of guy or girl by the end of the night.
I do fine, but I don't trust easily, so he's one of the few people who really knows me.
We do everything together—studying, playing video games, and occasionally, ridiculous dares.
Like this latest dare.
I've always considered myself straight, but recently, I've been curious.
And what better way to explore this uncharted territory than with my bi bestie, who, given his long list of satisfied hookups, I know will do the job right.
I expected it to be good.
I wasn't prepared for how it would leave me hungry for so much more, needing Bren to show me what I've been missing out on.
What is it they say? It's always the quiet ones...
 
BRENNER
 
What's that saying...never met a stranger?
That's me. I'll talk to anyone, anytime.
It's how Taylor and I became friends, and I'm thankful for that every day.
He's my chill, zero-effs-given, video-game-loving bestie.
Whom I'm now hooking up with.
It's just fun, but then our parents drop the bomb on us that they've been secretly dating.
Oh, and they're in love and getting married in just a few months' time.
As hot as the idea of him being my stepbro is, we agree we should stop our little...extracurriculars...because what if it comes between our parents?
But keeping our hands to ourselves proves easier said than done.
I've become addicted to Taylor, and he to me.
What our parents don't know won't hurt them, right? And it's not like this means anything.
Only...the more we mess around, the more I realize it does.
What started out as just a good time has become so much more, but with everything that's at stake, do we stop now, or do we dare take a chance on what's happening between us?
 
Content Warning: The Step Dare is a steamy, low-angst romance, but it contains content that some readers may find triggering, including discussions about grieving the loss of a parent and the loss of an infant.
 
*The Step Dare can be read and enjoyed as a standalone.

    Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2025

    I have been waiting and so excited to get Taylor and Brenner's story since book 1! There's something about those two that made me wanna know more, and I sure learned more. I ate this book up almost as fast as Brenner ate Taylor 😅 These two have been best friends since they were teens despite Taylor being quiet and more introverted as well as straight and Brenner being more talkative and social as well as being bi but they balanced each other out and from that grew a beautiful friendship where they found a safe place to share pieces of themselves and their past and pain that they never felt with anyone else. They've always been two peas in a pod even now in college and it's always been platonic between them until their best friend falls for their step brother and then the same happens with other mutual friends that are also step brothers and the straight Taylor finds himself curious and the outgoing Brenner is only too happy to help him explore a bit for fun that starts with a dare and that slowly, and I say slowly because our gorgeous boys are pretty dang clueless, catapults them into a place they've never been before. What was supposed to be fun between friends turns into them finding out Taylor's mom and Brenner's dad are together and want to get married which causes them to re evaluate their situation and they make the hard decision to stop fooling around. Only keeping their hands to themselves proves to be far more difficult than they could have imagined which funnily enough causes them to get even closer but on a different level until they start developing these feelings that weren't there before and are scary but not as scary as not exploring what they could be. Their story was so fun, hot, and actually so touching. They're best friends always, but now they're even more, and to see them blossom together that much more was so satisfying to read, and I didn't want it to end. It really was the perfect ending to this beautifully hot and hilarious step brothers series. And I have to say I'm so excited for the spin-off and to hopefully get some glimpses of our favorite step brother/boyfriend club!

    This was a good way to round out this series. BFF's to lovers to step bros - not the most unique thing but it was a low angst, quick, fun read. Taylor and Brenner have been in the periphery for the other stories so it was fun to get their story and they were as sweet and dorky as I expected. They were fun together, they definitely had a lot of physical chemistry together, and I'm glad they got their HEA. This was a nice way to end the series, and I liked that a few different stepbrother tropes got explored over the course of the series.

    Troy and Atlas might still be my favorite, but I think Taylor and Brenner might have made me chuckle the most.

    Didn’t have a lot of substance. Feelings felt like they were being told to you instead of really feeling them in the writings and characters. Any the threesome after literally writing jealousy in to the plot was just dumb and unnecessary. Tired of the lack of intimacy in sex. It’s boring and makes me feel bad for this author if that’s all it’s seen as

    --No Spoilers--
    Since this is the third book in the series, I highly suggest you read the first two books before this one. While you would be fine reading this on its own, you would lose some of the character dynamics, and I feel like that would take away some of the enjoyment.
    Getting to know this groups of characters has been such a delight. I feel like I love every single one of them, and Riley and Devon have done a great job at personalizing each character, making each one different in their own ways.
    The Step Dare in particular was probably my favorite of the three books, although they were all fantastic. I really loved these characters and their relationship the most. I was ECSTATIC to see that there is going to be a spin-off series, and I know without a doubt that I'll be getting every single one. I hope to see little tidbits of the characters from the Stepbro series sprinkled in with the Frat series, but either way, I know that they'll be worth picking up.
    This was a phenomenal read with personable characters, a well planned and executed plot, enough spice to satiate, and full of love that'll warm your heart and maybe even make you shed a few tears. Worth every second!

    I really loved Brenner and Taylor together. Their chemistry was great, and I was invested. I wish there had been a little more development between Tay and the POS that either foreshadowed his arrival or built the anticipation more, but it still all worked for me in the end. I thought this story was a great way to wrap up this series, and I loved this couple as much as I loved Atlas and Troy. I’m excited to see where Devon takes the spinoff!

    5.0 out of 5 stars This Book 3 of the Step Bro Sagas Takes The Cake!! Amazing Story!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2025
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I had thought Devon McCormack (& Riley Hart) had given their best in Book 1 of this Step Bro Saga........ but they out-did themselves with Book 3!! This is totally awesome Gay Romance Fiction of the highest caliber!! We now have the 4x lead characters from the first 2x books, plus we get to know a whole lot more about Brenner & Taylor in the 3rd & final Step Bro saga series.

    Taylor's mom married Brenner's dad. Brenner is the vivacious one, who has never met a stranger, because he talks to everyone. That's how he and the much more drawn back Taylor had met. And Brenner is open about his bisexual likings - especially what he loves about men. Taylor listened, until he agreed that Brenner can "try" it with him - as long as they don't kiss!!!!

    Plus we have regular appearances from the now well-known 4 main characters, as well as some of the auxiliary ones from the previous 2x books, and Brenner & Taylor simply come into their own in this wonderful, wonderful story.

    I wish I could text or e-mail Brenner and Atlas (from Book 1) to check in how they specifically, and their other half's, are doing!!

    I can not recommend this 3x book Step Bro saga series strongly enough!! If Gay Romance Fiction is your thing - don't hesitate: buy all 3x books right now. You'll be glad you did!!

    Omg, am I ever a sucker for a good step brother book, and this one did not disappoint 🥰 It was such a great read and honestly it passed in a blink of an eye! Taylor and Brenner were so adorable together and their entire relationship was so authentic and just meshed together so well.

    I definitely needed a low angst book like this, so if you're looking for something spicy 🔥🔥🥵 I mean that scene at the club was 🫠🔥🥵😈, something with some hilarious banter and some even more hilariously oblivious characters who adore one another then this book is for you! 🥰

    You won't regret this amazing soon to be step brother romance, especially the dares these two come up with 😍😜😈. I'm going to stop rambling about how much I loved this book and these beautiful characters before I give too much away 😘.
