Blurb:

Frankie has been in love with his twin, Jacob, for as long as he can remember, but he’s pushed those feelings aside. What kind of man lusts after his brother, after all?

Will they find their happily ever after together, in each other’s arms, or has Frankie just ruined everything?

Review:

This is a short and sweet twincest story, but it doesn’t ignore the fact that twins in a romantic/sexual relationship are required to keep secrets.Frankie’s roommate has been looking for a “perfect” romance story and is disappointed yet again, this time informing Frankie that she’s put-off by twincest. Frankie is not even sure what that is, but once she explains it, he can’t help but be intrigued, especially as he’s been having feelings for his own twin for years. After reading the story, he decides to confront his twin and see if he feels the same, however as can be expected, it doesn’t go that well, although Jacob doesn’t freak out, he’s just kind of stunned.

After drowning his sorrows in wine, Frankie goes to bed, only to awake later to find Jacob there and after having some time to think about it, admit that he feels the same. This was where they both admit they are going to have to keep it secret and reveal it to only a few people, definitely not Frankie’s roommate who was upset by the twincest and their family. So it was nice to see them actually aware that they just couldn’t blithely go about a relationship with each other without repercussions.

This is obviously a story that won’t appeal to all readers, but for those who enjoy a twincest story, the sex when it comes is hot and yet tender as the two brothers finally get what both have been wishing for.
