Review: Pushing the Limits by Riley Hart
SYNOPSIS:
I was fourteen when my dad married Lane’s mom and our families became one, when my favorite moments were those spent staying up all night, talking or watching Lane create art.
There aren’t many things more inconvenient than loving your stepbrother. I know the limits, and that’s pushing them too far.
Over the years I’ve pulled away from him. It was easier when he left for New York, but now he’s back, not only in Atlanta, but in my home, trying to get back what we lost.
How can I tell my own stepbrother that I want him in my bed? That I want to call him mine?
One kiss changes everything.
Our tight-knit family won’t understand. Our friends won’t either. But no matter how much I don’t want to disappoint them, now that we’re where we belong, I won’t walk away. Even if I have to lose everything to keep him.
REVIEW:
I am enjoying this taboo romance streak Riley has been on. I was delighted when I saw that Isaac was getting his own story. The story was filled with plenty of spice and sizzling moments, with flashbacks to vulnerable moments between Lane and Isaac. And while I feel like this story was missing something, I still like it none-the-less.
So I liked that story was told in a mixture of present day and flashbacks throughout their lives. It truly enriched the depth of the relationship between Lane and Isaac. I liked how deep their relationship ran, the honesty, transparency, and feelings were so endearing I wanted more. But once Isaac’s feelings are revealed, things felt a little rushed here. Lane suddenly has a realization regarding his feelings and then, boom, everything is suddenly wonderful and they are together forever. I wish there was more fluidity to this scene, it felt rushed and lacked some crucial communication that would have truly made the book for me.
After this blip, you know the real drama is going to be the family, which was surprisingly not as bad as I thought it was going to be. But there is a little external drama with Lane’s ex that kind of took away from the story. I found this petty drama unnecessary but I appreciated Isaac and Lane staying true to who they are, regardless of what others think.
