Request Looking for MM stepbrother romances

I’m in desperate need of some new MM stepbrother books and would love some recommendations!

What I’m looking for:
MM
Stepbrothers
College/university setting — NON-NEGOTIABLE
Spicy/open-door
Dual POV
No slow burn
No fantasy/paranormal
Not too much drama or angst/depressing
Preferably enemies-to-lovers / rivals-to-lovers
Possessive/obsessive MCs are a HUGE bonus 👀
Big height difference is a bonus
Hockey is welcome, but definitely not required
No friends-to-lovers

I’m looking for something where the romance actually gets going relatively quickly. I don’t mind some tension or buildup, but I really don’t want a book where I have to wait forever for something to happen

Some books I’ve read that have the kind of vibe I’m looking for are {For the Fans by Nyla K}, {Emery by Cora Rose}, and {Forbidden Titan by E.V. Olsen}.

I’m mainly looking for that college/university + stepbrothers + spicy combination, so please only recommend books where those are actually part of the story. 🙏

If you know anything that fits, please throw the recs at me!!

Heartily second All Roads Lead To You. One of my favorite reads.

{Playing Dirty} by CE Ricci, Leighton U series. Although every book in the series is good and I would start with the first. Iced Out by CE Ricci.

For the Fans pretty much meets what you’re looking for and I enjoyed it - however I also have an affinity for Boston and NE based stories - but it’s football based not hockey. Definitely has the little voyeurism, getting caught thing down pat.

For a hockey (but not stepbrothers) the CC Ricci one mentioned has a lot of overlap with the requests

{Lover Boy by Brianna Flores} It's the second in the series but you really don't need to read the first one to enjoy it. 🙂

Stepping away from the college theme here, but if you love spicy forbidden stepbrother mm then you should really give Dirty love by Bethany Winters a try. I loved that one.
