STEPSISTER /STEPBROTHER LOVE
355985
This was a nice,enjoyable read from Anne Mather.
**SPOILERS**************************
Originally written in 1973,it does seem slightly dated (more on that later).
This is basically a step sibling romance.  Maria (18 years old),is living in Ireland
and is uncertain what to do with her life. She decides to "surprise" her older stepbrother
Adam( about 35 ? years old and a doctor by trade),and travel to England to live with
him.  Adam only remembers the cute 13 year old kid and not the sexy, teenage woman
she is now.  Maria is smart,something of a spitfire,but is STILL a typical teenager.  She
does develop somewhat of a crush on Adam over time but,Adam has a girlfriend-the
glamour puss actress,Loren ( who becomes very jealous of Maria).  So,who will love who?

This book was well written with attention to surroundings,clothing and dialog but,I think there
was an "issue" back in the early 1970 s when this was written having to do with propriety.
It was maybe NOT that acceptable back then for step siblings to have a romantic relationship.
I do not think it is such a big deal today.  As far as the characters,I liked Maria.  We get to hear her
inner thoughts and she is very clear.  As for Adam,he seems a bit distant.  We do not get into his
head at all.  I do think he fell for Maria but,to what extent ???  Let the reader find out.

This is the first book by this author that I have read and it was fabulous.  It had everything a step sibling book should, angst, passion and action.  Chase is the typical male in this book by masking his feeling for Chloe by acting childish and being a manwhoe, but it isn't until their parents decide after dating for five years its time they marry that Chloe and Chase have to come to terms with their feelings.  But when they get to Hawaii Chase's past mission failure comes to haunt them.  There have been a lot of step sibling books being written about lately but this one just read differently and was really good.  Looking forward to reading more from this author.  Received an ARC for an honest review.

*** Please note that this book reveals some sort of cheating (mentally) and the relationship between the male and female characters are indeed step siblings, however they did not grow up together and only had a short few months of an encounter***

Okay, I really did have a hard time with the title- I mean step-brother? Okay? Let me go vomit in my mouth, but with as much hype that I've seen on facebook about this book, I had to give it a try. The notice I noted in the beginning should make you feel better, because I didn't read the blurb, and I went in blind just knowing the title.

Greta is the main girl in this book- a senior in high school learning that she has a step-brother that would be coming to live with her and her mom and stepdad. All she knew was that her step-dad would travel to Cali to visit his son, but that's just about all she knew of him. Elec with a rebellious, tattooed boy/young man. Their first encounter was nothing nice, and Greta felt sick when she had a instant sexual appeal when Elec finally arrived in Boston.

Back and forth banter between the two, developed into what Greta wanted was a friendship. However, she couldn't help that the sexual desire and instant chemistry was off-limits, but was very much tempting.

Elec started off as just a game to get under Greta's skin because she was evil-step mommy's daughter, but he couldn't fight the tension- the sexual tension that she put off. One night Elec receives some news that leads him back to CA, leaving Greta heart broken. That would be the last time she would see Elec except unexpected tragedy bring them back together 7 years later.

The only thing that I didn't like was the POV from Elec. I felt like I was re-reading the whole story again- and I skimmed thru most of it since it was already read- I get the point why the author did so, with the manuscript and all- but I don't know retelling the book was a great idea. Just my opinion. I did enjoy the book- and it was a quick page turner- and it kept my interest right from the start. But once you knew the relationship between Greta and Elec the whole step-brother issue was moot.

The cheating part like I mentioned in the beginning never happened physically- there was a a lot of emotional feelings where people felt there was cheating but no physical cheating was done and it was over before we knew it.

Absolutely loved this follow up to Paige's stepbrother romance Prick. You need to read that first but don't be worried this copy has that along with her other stepbrother romances Cannon and Tool (you will absolutely love those ones too!). But back to very dirty wedding.
We get to see what happens to Katherine and Caulter as they prepare for their wedding along with the birth of their first child. The sex is still incredibly hot!  The writing is spectacular! And you fall even more in love with Caulter and Katherine. As if you didn't already love them enough. The book is humorous and will keep a smile on your face. I definitely recommend these books to anyone who loves stepbrother /stepsister romances. Paige is a superb storyteller who grabs you from the beginning and takes you on a fantastic ride! You even get to see how Ella and the senator are doing after their divorce!

Greta is a sweet girl who really wants that brother and sister connection with Elec, but he doesn't want that or to even be there. But things start to change, they begin to bond in a not so wholesome way and everything south of the mouth is on fire for each other. Elec is troubled but behind that angry teen is a young boy who is hurting for a father who abandoned him and a mother who needs him to take care of her more than she can provide for him. Greta will become good thing in a otherwise crappy life. Okay so I get that some people get step-brothers and it's an immediate we are brother and sister connection. BUT if you don't get that connection and you have a hot step brother like Elec, then all is fair play.

Heather finally meets her new stepbrother Ryan.  Things start off a little rocky.  Soon they are getting intimate with each other.  Their parents reaction is surprising.  I received an ARC copy of this book from the author at no cost for my honest voluntary review.

I really didn't know what to expect when I started reading this, but I was quickly immersed in the story, and could not put it down. I mean seriously...step siblings falling in love...eww. However, I fell in love with the characters and was rooting for Greta and Elec. The banter between Greta and Elec had me laughing out loud. The angst at his leaving right after admitting their feelings to each other, and their complex reunion years later broke my heart. There is a HEA, and it's worth the journey getting there.

What a sweet and romantic story about two people who meet and didn't know they are soon to be step siblings. Olivia and Parker are about to graduate college and meet at the grocery market after coming home to meet each others parents. They are attracted to one another but just let the moment go-Olivia because she thinks Parker is a jerk and Parker because he doesnt know what Olivias name is soon they realize who they are to one another and the games begin.
Olivia has been hurt in the past by guy she thought she loved so she has never let a guy get close and here is Parker- she comes to realize he is a good guy; Parker comes to see Olivia is a really nice girl and he wants her in his life almost immediatelybut things happen that cause Olivia to doubt he really wants her around. Twists and turns caused me to be on the edge of my seat until the last pageI loved Parker because he was a good guy and there was things in his past that caused him to pull back from Liv and oh Liv, she had so much confusion and pain in her past when it came to trust and believing in Parker --the end of this story is a so heartwarming. Keep some tissues handy. I enjoyed this story and cannot wait to read another book by this author.

My rating: 4.5 stars ****
***A gifted copy was provided by the author for my honest review****

Stephanie Brother writes scintillating stories with stepsiblings as their main romantic focus. She's always been curious about the forbidden, and this is her way of exploring such complex relationships that threaten to keep her couples apart. Stephanie knows well how to build a story, even when the initial idea for readers who know her work is that she writes the steamiest erotica around. Still it is the getting to the big moment that makes her books so top notch.

Our main character is Carrie, and as the synopsis puts it, There are rumors going around about my twin stepbrothers. Huge rumors. I try to ignore gossip, but its easier said than done when it involves crazy sex stuff and verified reports about the size of things that a stepsister should know nothing about. Ethan and Nathan are the identically gorgeous hunks of man flesh that have just moved into my house. I could barely look at them before the rumors, with their ridiculously twinkly blue eyes, and smiles that turn me into a mindless puddle of goo. Were supposed to be family and Im trying my hardest to be a welcoming stepsister. But then I overhear them talking about things I am definitely not supposed to know, and suddenly I realize Im in double trouble. HUGE X2 is the story of a girls realization that the best things in life come in extra-large, twin packs.

For the rest of the story you must read it yourself! Grady Harp, May 16

Royal Prick is easily one of my favorite stepbrother books so far!! The connection between Noelle and Royal was so intense that it was almost like it had a life of its own. Going against all of the rules they managed to bring out the best in one another, not caring what anybody else had to say about it. Even a Royal Prick deserves a happily ever after.

(I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book)

In the genre of stepbrother romances, this is one of the best ones I have read.  Chris and Emily fell in love in high school and everything looked promising until their parents also fell in love thus making them step-siblings and ending their romance.  Years later Chris has tried to get Emily out of his mind and heart by being with every woman he can find.  Nothing serious and no promises.  That is until Chris needs someone to clean up his life in the tabloids and Emily is the perfect person for the job.  She becomes his new PR person and Chris begins his plan to win her heart regardless of how the family thinks.  This was a great book and even though Chris is portrayed as the bad boy his feelings for Emily were true and genuine.  I enjoyed this book and recommend it to everyone.

I've been reading quite a few Stepbrother books lately, and loving them!  To many people get that ewww reaction when they hear stepbrother, but ALL of them I've read thus far... they aren't related by blood, so stop with the knee jerk reactions and just READ them!  You won't regret it.

Cole and Ava's parents married when they were young, and Ava has had a crush on him for years.  Although she hasn't seen him for a few years, will the sparks fly when they meet yet again?

Good thing Ava's best friend drags her to the club Sanctuary to try something new.  Sparks fly between Ava aka April and her Dom Master Royce, will he help her get over on her crush on Cole??  ;)

Hot romance with a HEA story you'll love!  WTG Arabella!!!  :)
