Review: Wicked Steps by Cory Cyr

If anyone had asked ten years ago, I never would have imagined I’d be a thirty-five-year-old widow today.

I could tell you I married Hartman Wick out of love, but it’s complicated. We were friends. He was dying. And he needed me. He also made me an offer I couldn’t refuse. Of course, I agreed with the very best of intentions. But we all know what the road to hell is paved with.

All I ever dreamed of was owning my own gallery. A place where my best friend and I could introduce the masses to inspiring and new artists. Hartman promised me the deed to the gallery, wealth, and security for the rest of my life.

Instead, I find myself in a war with his estranged son Kieran—my stepson and one of the most prolific painters, known for his erotic shock art. He’s been plotting revenge against his father for years, and now that Daddy’s dead, he’s seized the opportunity.

Between the constant battles, heated exchanges, and threats of blackmail, I find myself inexplicitly drawn to this twenty-four-year old. He’s beautiful, seductive, arrogant, and evil. Not only is he a gifted artist, but he’s certainly inherited some of his father’s more unsavory traits. He truly is a Wick.

But then he takes things too far and pushes me to my breaking point. I’ve had enough. In retaliation, I make a plan.

And I almost feel sorry for him—almost. I’m sure, even as a child, he was never read a single fairy tale. Poor bastard.

He has no idea how truly wicked a stepmother can be.

  





The story of Kieran and Elle is a fun tug of war.

This is not your typical step family member love story line that has been popular lately. There are no cringe worthy moments where I felt like these two should not be together because she was his stepmother and he was her stepson. Those labels are put upon them through a technicality, really. I loved the story of these two characters and their back and forth battle. Kieran wants revenge and to claim a piece of Elle. Elle on the other hand is fighting for her rightful inheritance and fighting her attraction to Kieran.

There are very humorous jaw dropping moments where I laughed out loud and couldn't believe some of Kieran's evil tactics to get what he wants. What they say about girls loving the bad boy is true. I loved Kieran with his tattoos, piercings and wicked ways. Elle is such a strong character for enduring a torturous marriage to Hartman and then fighting Kieran for the dream she is entitled to.

Cory Cyr's books are always so entertaining. Her characters are funny, smart, flawed, sexy and loveable. Another great book from one of my favorite authors.
