A review by embrightreads
Himbro by Honey London

3.0

I love a taboo story. I like the step brothers trope. I love a good himbo MC. But this book only worked a little bit. I liked all the characters in this book, i thought Emma was super irritating but that's not really important to the review.
The evil ex boyfriend was a dick, but I think the biggest issue was that the main character just had zero self esteem. And that was never addressed. Apparently he's a power bottom even though he couldn't even make eye contact with his love interest.
I think there wasn't enough backstory for the "love" to feel authentic.
I didn't like that there was a lot of sex before figuring out feelings in this case. Especially because the ENTIRE book up until that point emphasized how NOT queer Jesse was.
I think a lot of this book felt kind of rushed.
I am not usually the type to say a book should be LONGER, but in this case i don't think an extra 100 pages would have hurt.
