Legacy Mechanics Book 4

Asa

For eight years I’ve lived in the shadow of my golden child stepbrother. Dex is everything our parents want in a son, and I’m the weirdo who can’t seem to get his life together.

After getting renovicted from my apartment, I’m forced to ask Dex for help. He agrees to let me stay with him while I find a new place, but neither of us is happy about it. Then I accidentally discover that my perfect stepbrother has an online side gig, and I learn how lucrative it can be.

Working together is supposed to be a way to make some extra cash, but it’s impossible to keep things in the business zone when I start to realize that maybe Dex is just as misunderstood and lonely as me.

Dex

The only downside to moving home after college is that I can’t avoid my stepbrother anymore. Asa is one of the most aggravating people I’ve ever met, and he’s spent the last eight years letting me know exactly what he thinks of me.

After agreeing to let him stay with me so he doesn’t end up homeless, he accidentally finds out about my online job. No one else knows my secret, but instead of using it against me, he suggests we work together as a solution to his money problems and my desire to get him out of my apartment as quickly as possible.

I already know this is going to be messy, but I’m not prepared for how difficult it is to keep our arrangement impersonal. And the more I learn about my closed-off stepbrother, the more I realize that maybe we aren’t so different after all.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

Asa’s turn! I’ve been looking forward to Asa’s story for a while. He’s always felt a bit mysterious and I’ve been curious to learn more about it. And now it’s time! Asa isn’t afraid to be who he is. He won’t apologize for it. He isn’t a big people person and he keeps to himself for the most part. But if anyone can get on his nerves, it’s his stepbrother. While Asa’s mother basically tells him she doesn’t like him but has no problem using him when she needs something, his stepbrother is like the golden child of the family. Though Asa will soon realize that Dex doesn’t have it that much easier than him. When Asa realizes he is about to be homeless, he calls Dex as his last resort. Surprisingly, to Asa, Dex lets him move in and they become roommates. Being in one another’s space is pretty new to them. They haven’t been that way in a long time. They’ve barely seen one another in the last four years alone. But living together becomes a bit easier than expected. But things take an interesting turn when Asa learns Dax cams for money. And then soon the two of them think it’s a good idea to do it together. Extra cash for the two of them has to be a good thing right? What could go wrong? Turns out keeping things professional is pretty challenging when old feelings stir and they realize that maybe they never actually disliked one another but it was a lot more. And when they actually give themselves a chance to talk, they’ll discover they have a lot more in common. But are either of them brave enough to tell the other how he feels? I really loved Asa and Dex’s story! I liked that they lowered their walls and actually got to be real with one another bit by bit. The chemistry between them was great and it only became stronger as they realized how much they had in common or have faced similar issues. Just a really sweet story as you watched these two figure out what they mean to one another. This has just been a really great series!

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
