Have you heard about the latest novel by Jaimie Roberts? I've been able to read it, book buddies, and it's a winner! ;o)
MY OPINION
A devilishly
funny premise that would be a nightmare in real life. Imagine that you've had
intimacy with a mature man and then discover he's your stepfather. What's more,
his son is your second conquest of the year. Two secret one-night stand lovers
living under the same roof as you! Wow.
I had to read
this!
If that's not
bad karma, nothing can beat it any way.
At first,
Hunter is infuriating, always pressing Ayden's buttons the wrong way. When they finally start connecting on an
emotional, meaningful way, I felt that bond over tragedy that they shared.
And her mum
was so crazy too! This poor girl is strong and smart, I admired her for all
that she's had to put up with.
There are
constant twists in how she feels towards Mason and Hunter as they show their
feelings for her or act in a seemingly bad or good way. The tension is a
physical entity, and it soons become unbearable, and oh so sexy, to resist the
chemistry between Hunter and Ayden.
There are so
many scenes that I loved. Dialogues full of emotion, a scorching hot time at a
changing room, a sweet dinner that included a thoughtful gift... they all mixed
perfectly with the dramatic events surrounding Ayden's family and her
undeniable feelings for Hunter.
This romance
broke my heart a little, more than once. It's surprising, exciting, and takes
place between two deeply flawed characters yet they also have beautiful
redeeming qualities. They grow to love and to forgive each other for
transgressions. I thoroughly enjoyed their steamy times and the romantic ones,
as well as the drama and the tragedy. Despite the weird ending, it is one
stepbrother romance that I won't forget.

I used sex to help me forget.
To help me numb the pain.
Because for those few minutes of pleasure, I could shut it all off.
The reminders of all that I had lost. All that I had endured.
Of all that I saw die before my eyes.
I slept with a man I can’t get out of my head. It was supposed to be a one-time thing with no attachments and no commitments. No names were exchanged, no phone numbers swapped. And that was fine by me ... until I lay awake at night, dreaming about that man’s caress. Wanting and yearning to feel his touch once more.
But one day, my fantasies of seeing this man become an all-too-consuming, nightmarish reality. Suddenly, he is in my house, that cocky grin of his silently promising more to come.
And the reason being? His father is getting married to my mother. We are going to be family.
I am in the seven circles of hell. His look alone consumes my soul and makes me beg for more. He wants me and is determined to get me. I’m his obsession, and I’ve just become a slave to his infatuation ... to the games he likes to play. The games he knows will have me surrendering to his will.
But that’s not the only problem. That’s not the only reason I am living in my own personal hell.
The year before I met my soon-to-be step-brother, Hunter ... The year I made a decision that will ultimately end up destroying my very soul...
I lost my virginity to Hunter’s dad.
