My Brothers & Me


When I go through and binge-read authors, sometimes I read their entire backlist; sometimes I just read the books that interest me (again, not suuuuuper into paranormal, not much into historical, only just getting into dark romance, hard pass on distopian). Annnyway, we're not going through to binge-read Wendy Rathbone's works (some of them). Here's "My Brothers & Me" (a taboo read--available via #Smashwords).

["How long must I hear my brothers having sex in the bedroom next to mine before I go absolutely mad?

My name is Tristan and I’m the tortured younger brother of incestuous twins. It’s not like I don’t get it. It’s a twin-thing, right? But night after night those infuriatingly sexy sounds—it’s getting to be too much. Plus, I feel totally left out, damn them!

There is some reprieve when they go off to college, but the first summer they return, everything starts up again, hotter and heavier. I’d hoped they’d outgrown their playful antics. But no. They’re randier than ever. And I’m curiouser and curiouser.

I come up with a plan. I’m a good little spy and I decide to film them with the TV camera in their room and using their own laptops. Boy do I get a surprise. Their loving and care for each other floors me.

From there, everything goes sideways and weird but don’t worry, we all have a happily ever after."]

Not entirely sure how I feel about this one. Of course the steam was hot as hell, duh. ;) But some of it seemed a little force, a little too porn-y. The feelings were new and interesting and unique; I liked how she approached that aspect of the novella.
