When my stepsister waves at me from across the tarmac, I know I’m done waiting.

She’s been mine for years, in a way. Since the day our lives came together and I became her protector. Her guardian. Her rock.

She’s fierce and independent. Strong but soft. Willful but needy.

She deserves more than me—more than a broken soldier with two years of memories fit for nightmares.

When she smiles at me with those plump, pink lips, I can’t ignore my feelings anymore. I want to tie her to the bed as she screams my name. I want to smack that asset of hers, feeling the warmth of her skin on my hand.

I’ll choose if she breathes, what color panties she wears, if I let her wear them at all. I'm following my heart because it’s been broken for too long and she’s the only one that can fix me.

But, I need to protect her against one final enemy. Or else a dark, dangerous secret will steal my light from me forever.

Author’s This homecoming is filled with dirty talk and forbidden fruit. It’s a love story with over-the-knee action and plenty of other hot lessons. This soldier is going to fill his one and only from top to bottom with all the happy endings you could hope for. It’s safe, no cheating, with double V-cards to boot!

Wanting What’s Wrong Step right up if you want to get down with some "No, no, we can't, it's so wrong." action! There are step-siblings, step-fathers, step-uncles all just waiting for you. It's okay, no one will know.

Since I was a little girl, I’ve made up stories. I would lay in my bed at night and before I knew what a trope was, I would make up these trope filled stories. Boy sees girl, boys falls for girl, boy saves girl….happily ever after. As I got older, the stories turned steamier and more intricate, but the basics never changed.

Now, my books are still full of romance but the naughty bits are naughtier, my hero’s are obsessed alpha types and my heroines are quirky, real women who come in all shapes and sizes.

So, sit back, banish the real world and get lost in some over the top romance with a heaping helping of hot. xoxoxo

Five stepbrother stars ☆☆☆☆☆

"I give zero fucks that she’s my step-sister. My body, my soul, my cock are all hers. Always have been. Always will be."

Dani Wyatt has done it again. Omg. This is one of many of her books that have sucked me in and kept me reading until the very last page. I binge read this in just a few hours, and I'm so glad I did!

This book had one hell of a prologue. Two years ago, Kat caught Trent having alone time in the shower. Before then, the only feelings she had towards her stepbrother were platonic and she viewed him as her hero.

"My Trent. My protector."

Two years later, Trent is back home after being in the military. Kat and Trent have sizzling chemistry together!! I was blown away by how much they needed each other. They easily fall into place where they're together but because Kat is holding back a few secrets, that puts a damper on their new relationship.

Soon, secrets are revealed... and Daddy Trent makes his Kitty Kat pay. ;)

“My baby sister. Naked and covered in my cum. My fucking dream come true.”

This is my favorite book by Dani Wyatt so far. I can't wait to see what she writes next!

He's her big brother and her Daddy at the same time.

description

Well, first of all, that was hot as hell. Woof. This author really knows how to play around with the tropes & kinks. Plus, the overprotectiveness that comes along with the alpha hero didn't annoy me too much in this one, unlike my previous read. The heroine in this one? Could be better but at least she got more going on about her than just a pretty face. The plot? What plot? I'm here for the smut haha. But honestly, there was a plot with a 'stalker' from the past but it was not really built really well and was just there as cosmetics if you ask me.

But the smut is nice. The taboo aspect of it was really nice. All my favourite kinks were done well without being cringey and MUCH over the top as I want. So yeah, this is one of the good ones I think.

Good to fill the time

I've been trying to start if not more serious at least more substantial books for days but my brain keeps wandering away. So I've been filling the time with superficial reads hoping this wave of whatever it is passes soon... So many HRs I want to read...

Trent is not step brother material, he is a walking and talking Alpha specimen. Tattoos and muscles galore. And so hot is should be illegal. But he is being deployed and Kitty Kat will miss him dearly.
A lot has happened in 2 years and these step siblings try to figure out who they are after such a long time apart and so much sadness between then.
Dani writes the most delicious men in her stories and Step Hero is no exception, it’s spectacular!

Loved it!! So much sex and dirty talk. But first, a quick recap.....

Trent (hot as f*ck military sniper-ish) has been in love with his step-sister, Kat (not sure about her) since they were young, and she's been in love with him too. He's left for the military and she's at home with their parents when tragedy strikes. Their parents died and because of other circumstances, she's left with nothing. She doesn't want to worry him while he's on a mission, so she keeps that info to herself. She also doesn't tell him about the Russian that's been threatening her. Trent comes home and surprise.... he's rich. He's also ready to claim her. Holy f*ck it's hot. There's sooooooo much dirty talk! Absolutely LOVED it, even the cringey parts. Trent is aggressive, possessive, obsessive, everything you want in a primitive alpha! Yummy.

Possible triggers I mean you know it's a step-sibling romance. He wants Kat to call him Daddy. There's spanking and punishment. He has violent tendencies, but not toward her.

Only irritant I had was the plot. The Russian guy was ok, but it could have included better details. Then, at the beginning she talked about how she worked in a strip club and that her brother would be pissed. But that never developed. I thought it was a missed opportunity.

loved it!

It was taboo and filthy just the way I like it. The smexy scenes were super hot with hints of dubcon and some domestic discipline which I am always here for. Can’t wait for the next one!

Dani Wyatt returns with a brand new story called Step-Hero, a forbidden romance between step-siblings in the Wanting What's Wrong series and it was incredibly dirty and steamy. Trent and Kat had so much sexual tension and chemistry. While their romance and entanglement with each other was the main focal point of the story, I really liked that there was an additional suspenseful element to it as well with Kat's stalker. The book felt longer, which I appreciated because it allowed for some additional character development for Trent and Kat. Despite their status as "siblings," they were anything but that. Trent and Kat have had feelings for each other but they never acted on it—until he eventually returned from deployment two years later. All bets were off once he reunited with her because she was simply his.

"I would do anything for him. I would live for him. I would die for him. Every breath, every thought, will always belong to him."


Dani simply excels at writing forbidden and taboo romance and this story was certainly no exception. I was shocked and blushed at some of the scenes Trent and Kat had because he was ready to give her everything—including himself and all the darkness inside of him. Their coupling was intense, erotic, and filthy. After coming back from deployment, Trent had become even more possessive, dominant, and obsessed with Kat. These two burned up the pages with their intensity and moments together. Although I had some frustrations with Kat because she was keeping some major secrets from Trent, specifically her stalker and the one behind her parents' death, I also sympathized with her struggle, guilt, and shame.

"I know one simple truth: All of her is mine. Every inch. Every breath. It all belongs to me."


In the end, this was a strong introduction to Dani Wyatt's brand new forbidden/taboo series and I absolutely can't wait to read Step-Bully next. I do want to note that this book does contain the DDLG kink so if you're not into that, I would avoid this book. However, if you do not care about this, you will be satisfied with Trent and Kat's book because it was fast-pace, romantic, suspenseful, and smutty. I highly recommend this book if you like the age-gap and taboo romance with a dominant and possessive hero who is completely devoted and in love with his sweet and equally devoted heroine.

Wow, this book made me so uncomfortable which it is something that rarely happens. However, there were soooooo many issues with the book that it was bound to happen.

Here is a small list of my ✨issues✨

1. This quote:

Tears stream down her cheeks and I take her like an animal, savage like a fucking rapist. Taking what belongs by rights to me.


WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU COMPARING YOURSELF TO A RAPIST!?!?

When I tell you this quote made me so uncomfortable that I almost DNFed the book right then and there, but I decided to push through (my mistake)

2. The MMC was pushing his daddy kink on the FMC, and I believe a hammer would've been more receptive to it. Even if the author made it look like it was arousing her to think and call her step-bro, "daddy", it still seemed like she was being pushed to do it. In my opinion, reading about a kink is much more enjoyable when both people are actually ENJOYING IT. 😮‍💨

3. Not using a safe word during impact play, and not even checking in on the FMCs during those moments. How hard is it to just add a couple of lines discussing safe play practice!?

4. MMC saying that the FMC is having "a little tantrum" is SO FUCKING RUDE, especially when she's trying to convey her feelings.

5. Sometimes I feel like the MMC was hard or lowkey aggressive towards the FMC.

Basically, I should've DNFed it and this book was just no it

Holy mother of nature! This was so taboo. Forbidden yet you would desire for more of h and H. Definitely one, if not my favorite novel made by Dani Wyatt so far. The taboo aspect was well done here. The thrill, the burning passion. The push and pull, oh hell, it was done great. And it was dual virgins!! yeep. was sold me with the trope. Sign me tf up.
Safe from ow/om drama. The novel was short but felt really complete, I won't ask for more. The romance, and the conflict was balanced. I was just also waiting for h to mention where she formerly worked. And oh hell, all break loose, I was imagining H's reaction. bet he would lost his shit. But then, it never came up. Anw I Would recommend reading specially to those who were into some taboo reads. HEA

I liked it.

3.5 stars.

This was CHEF’S FRICKIN KISS!!! 👩🏻‍🍳💋
Holy moly the smut in this was absolutely FIREEEE, I mean damn Trent’s mouth was FILTHY. I’d call him Daddy any day of the week.
It wasn’t just smutty, it was emotional and sweet. The love that Trent and Kat felt for one another literally poured off of the pages.
Trent will quite literally do anything to protect his girl, his protectiveness and possessiveness was off the scales and I LOVED IT!!!!!
The forbidden fruit is ALWAYS the sweetest 🔥

Alright. Even if the dirty talk was cringy at times... I am obsessed with this book.
The spice was at least a 4 pepper.

T R O P E S
- Taboo/forbidden
- Step-siblings (they grew up together)
- Slight age gap (7 years)
- Military romance
- Close Proximity
- Both are V!rg!ns
- He'd k!ll for her/protecting her
- "She's mine"
- Touch her and die
- K!nks: Daddy, praises, degradation, breeding, spank!ng

T H O U G H T S
I mean, I don't understand why I even liked this book. But I did and I am so not ashamed. The story was engaging and gets you hooked right from the start. The line between right and wrong is SO BLURRED. It's gets more and more intense. Love this. Will definitely read the next book in the series !

Reading a random book that pops on my feed Series 1

I will start with what was wrong
+ "Tears stream down her cheeks and i take her like an animal, savage like a fucking rapist."
excuse me???? savage like what?


We would have done without lines like that.

+ The fact that they were step siblings since they were very young and lived together as siblings, we also could have done without that piece of information.

+ The Daddy kink that came out of no freaking where??

+ The constant use of my sister/my brother was very off putting, like alright tone it down, we don't need the constant reminder

+ Also, let your head roll around this sentence " Gushes of my breeding batter fill every tight space inside her body, flooding her with me" Breeding batter ladies and gentlemen.

Needless to say, this was a very amusing read, had the time of my life because i knew i would have so much to say and we love that.

What was actually good

The smut was smuting, it was actually good, and the tension was in fact tensioning and i think the writer is good at writing these.

If we had a few things off the what's wrong list, like the constant siblings reminder and the rapist comment, this would have been a fun 4 stars just bc of the tension and the smut delivery but alas....

Well, damn.

Kat and Trent🔥 Trent was possibly the most consuming man that Dani has written yet! He was perfectly over the top, and I do mean OVER. There is the slight taboo of “step” but it didn’t feel as scandalous for some reason, probably because these books have ruined me morally 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ I honestly wish we got a scene where Trent found out about Kay’s job because he would have gone full psycho. Knowing that not one person can touch her and how he was to his friend 👨🏻‍🍳💋 I love that they got their HEA and I swear you could fill many MANY books about the steam they got up to over the years because we know it’ll never diminish! Looking forward to the next read already!

I may not be in the right mindset to enjoy this book - I typically enjoy scenes like the opening one, but some of the author's descriptions pulled me out of the moment and I just couldn't take it seriously. I tried to keep going, but it just didn't work for me. DNF at 23%.

I don’t even know where to start

Ok, yes I do. What the hell is with the euphemisms? Her Pulsing Polly pocket 🤢 his breeding batter 🤢🤢

Then we have this whole stalker plot that never once gets explained. How did it start? What was in the box? If you want me to get into your story give me something to work with

And then we get to the daddy kink and impact play, which was unilaterally decided upon by the H with exactly zero input from the h. What if she doesn’t want her god damn hands beaten with your belt? Well that’s just too bad because you didn’t bother to have a single conversation about your kink with her, what daddy wants daddy gets and all that shite 🤢

And let’s wrap it up with you’ve been siblings since she was a toddler. I’m obviously not against the step sibling trope, but that’s just a little to far into the no thank you, you’re creepy af zone

I was surprised there was more to this than the relationship

One night before he deploys turns into two years of obsessively thinking of each other. So, when he comes home from deployment, he just wants to take care of her. Until, she finds out the attraction he’s been hiding from her. And, once he snaps, there’s no turning back. He would do anything to protect her.
