The title makes it sound MUCH worse than it is. It’s super sweet and innocent, but the MC h must live in a cave to not understand ANY innuendo. I liked Teddy, kind of like Kronk. But the MC h was too shy. I get some people are, but it was annoying. Her step brother was sweet to her though.

2, not bad but the MC h got on my nerves, stars.

Step Brother, Please Stop Teasing Me! Is a bully romance between Hunter and Charlotte by Mia Clark. Hunter is childish and immature college football player. Charlotte is a shy and timid college student wanting to become a writer. I don’t care for bully romance but I thought this was going to be an enemy to lovers romance. The hazing tradition at the end really surprised me because now I have to read book two to find out what happens next between them. I am curious as to why Hunter is doing all this and will be glad when Charlotte speak up for herself. Even though it was fast paced, this is one of those series where it will take multiple books to finish the story.

If I could give a book less than one star to even 0.5 of a star I would. This was really poorly written. I just couldn’t keep up with it.

The protagonist is a blabbering mess and can’t get one decent sentence out when she’s confronted by anyone. The stepbrother is a douche.

Could not even get to chapter 2.

3.5 ⭐s Baby Sis and Hunter

Charlotte Scott is a child of divorce who desperately would like to understand romance. She's trying to write a romance story but although reading romances and belonging to a romance book club, she can't even bring herself to read the racy/steamy parts of books. Her parents divorced when she was young and her father never had a great presence in her life. She fondly remembers her times spent with him but he was an out of sight out of mind type of man. Her mother wants to be her best friend rather than a parent. Mom rarely stays with her new love interest long. This time she's done a doozy, while in Vegas she met and married a stranger. Charlotte has a new stepfather but also a new stepbrother, college quarterback Hunter Jackson.

Hunter's parents divorced when he was old enough to have a good idea of what was going on with their marriage. His mother traveled a lot for her job and was rarely home. His father liked female companionship. Hunter puts most of the blame on his mother as she's the one who left.

Hunter and his fellow teammate friends, Sam, Oliver and Teddy crash into the library one day where Charlotte is there alone studying. When she accidentally draws their attention, they discover her notebook with her romance story. Let the teasing begin!

Hunter seesaws between making fun of his Baby Sis and trying to help her by really getting to know her. He even tries his hand at writing a romance story. His friend, Oliver, likes to stir the pot while Teddy is much kinder to her.

The storyline has potential but right now the behavior of of Charlotte, Hunter and his posse seem more like high school students rather than college students. Since the guys are all on the football team, they're probably at least sophomores but more likely to be juniors.

Stepbrother Series - Vol 1 . . .

Charlotte Scott is shy and never socializes. She spends her time after school in the library secretly writing what she thinks are steamy romance stories. But having no personal knowledge about what “steamy” is, her stories are not accurate and fall flat. When four loud bad-boy college football players come storming into the library while the volunteer is at lunch, she is very uncomfortable. They have not noticed her, so she moves quietly, tugging at her backpack but dropping it loudly on the floor. Everything falls out as one of the players strolls over and picks up her private notebook. The rest come over and read her words aloud, all of them laughing, mocking her, mortifying her. Three of them turn to head for practice while Hunter stays behind. He suggests they try a scene in her book, he says the words about how beautiful she is while he caresses her cheek and holds her. Then he says she couldn’t write the sex scene because she had no idea what to write and could not even look him in the eyes. She tried. But she could not, and so she began to cry. He took a clean towel from his gym bag and wiped her tears. And he apologized and suggested she write someone more like herself. Then he left her there.

The final upset to ruin her day was a text from her mother – she got married the weekend before and wants Charlotte to come to dinner and meet her new step-dad and step-brother. She didn’t even bother to respond.

This is the ongoing story of Charlotte Scott and Hunter Jackson, now step-siblings. They attend the same college. This is only the beginning, but the episodes will keep on coming as we see how their relationship adjusts. Charlotte is so terribly shy (the stutter used in the book to indicate that will drive the reader crazy). And Hunter is bold and confident, his teasing incessant, his smirk ever-present, and he is everything she is not.

I enjoyed this story with all the characters within. The main characters were Charlotte Scott and Hunter Jackson.

Charlotte Scott is a shy person that is going to college. She like to write and read romance stories. While in the library at college she meet some college football players. They have came in to the library and start to mess with stuff she is hoping that they will mot see her there. But see not so lucky. One of the guys starts to tease her while they others watch. She is happy when they all leave. But later that day she goes to see her mother and finds out the she got remarried. And now she has a stepfather and stepbrother. She surprised to she one of the guys from the library is now her new stepbrother.

Hunter Jackson is a college guy that plays football at the college. While hangout with friends they go to the library. While there they see a girl and start to talk to her. Later that night he finds out that his father remarried and he now has a new stepmother and stepsister.

This was a fun story to read. It had action , adventure and drama throughout. It had a few giggles within. This story has Volumes that continues with the story. This is the first volume within nine volumes.

I decided to try first volume after seeing that I requested the second and third volume though Booksprout. I got this volume though my Kindle Unlimited. I wanted to read all of it in order. This is my honest unbiased opinions.

In the same vein of Stepbrother with Benefits, Mia Clark's new series, Stepbrother Please Stop Teasing Me, revolves around a newly married couple whose children find themselves over their heads in their new relationship. Charlotte's mother is the type who'd rather be a friend than a parent and she finds some solace trying to write about true love and romance. Without any reference to or experience with love, her writing is going nowhere, fast. Hunter is the "bad boy" college quarterback and he's just realized that the girl he met earlier in the library is the same girl sitting at the dinner table. His father married her mother? Let the games begin! What pleased me the most is that there's a low level of angst and I actually laughed at the witty and sarcastic teasing that he was dishing out. The title makes it clear that it's not a true bully story and my hope is that the series stays on the lighthearted side. I already see in Hunter the quick change from putting her down to showing his softer side and actually caring about her. I can't wait to see where this series goes.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. This is a fun story about Charlotte and Hunter. They meet at the school library. He likes to tease her. But when a message from her mom reveals a new stepdad and stepbrother, her life about to change. Hunter is a football player and Charlotte likes to write romance novels, but she's never experienced the steamy stuff.

Continued
I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. This is a collection of episodes that evolve the story about Charlotte and Hunter. They have a unique relationship, he's her stepbrother. He's great at teasing her until she blushes, he likes this a lot.. As the story progresses we met me friends who encourage her to expand her horizons. Jenny is becoming her BFF, but Angela and Clarissa are trying to be the bff's to, so they can get at Hunter. Love the banter and the way he tries to help her out. Can't wait for more.

This is the beginning of Hunter and Charlotte's story a college bully,enemies to lovers, stepbrother and stepsister romance. Hunter is a popular football player at their college while Charlotte is a shy quiet good girl who aspires to be a romance writer. Charlotte spends alot of time in the school library writing romance stories but due to her lack of experience the sexy parts are pretty tame. Hunter and his teammates Oliver, Sam and Teddy came across Callie in the library and they found her writing and started teasing her. Then Hunter and Callie find out that their parents are married but this doesn't stop Hunter's torment of Charlotte who he has feelings for. I can't wait to where they go from here in the next parts of their story. I would recommend reading this book.

Too Meek, No Heat

This starts out painfully slow. The last couple of chapters pick up some, but not enough.

Charlotte Scott is WAY TOO meek for my liking. I just... wanted to reach into the book and shake her... with great frequency. Her naivete and shy demeanor were too much.

Why am I playing the part of human thesaurus right now, though.
-- Charlotte Scott

As for Hunter Jackson, I'm indifferent to him. The teasing gets a little old, but it's not horrible. His friends, on the other hand, are pushing my protective buttons.

After reading some of Mia's other works, I was expecting heat and fun chemistry. This was nothing like that.

They say you should write about what you know, which is a bit of a problem for our heroine. And our hero is not really helping matters any by teasing her. Except...

This is book one of the series. The story was previously publishing on Vella and is now being offered in book format.

This is a contemporary romance with a step theme. The story is well written and easy to read with lots of that wonderful step dynamics that I have found in previous works by this author. The characters are great, realistic and fun. They have great chemistry, even if it takes them a while to recognize it. There is also plenty of steamy fun to be had, so what is not to like?

Highly recommended.

Cute start to a long series

I started this on Kindle Vella, but once I realized it would be going into KU, it was easier just to read it in bigger chunks.
Charlotte might be the most naive college student I’ve ever heard of, especially given her mother’s proclivities. It’s kind of cute how awkward she is. I thought Hunter was more “normal”, but he gets more naive the further the story goes. I mean Teddy, he is just kinda vacant upstairs, but I love his character.
Silly that Charlotte wants to write a romance story, but won’t even look at the steamy parts. (Seriously?!?!) And even sillier, that Hunter starts writing a ridiculous story along with her.
There are some great secondary and tertiary characters in this series. Looking forward to more.

This was my first book by Mia Clark and I'm not sure I'll ever read another. This novel, and particulary the FMC Charlotte irritated the living hell out of me. No one, especially a college student, could really be as naive as she appeared. Hunter was the only character I kind of liked, but even he annoyed me. He was supposed to be this "bad boy." What a laugh, Honey, I've read my share of really bad boys and believe me, Hunter was not one of them! I kept reading, hoping the story would get better, but it never did.

I felt like I was reading a book written for young adolescent girls since the characters acted so juvenile. This was far too PG for my liking. I won't be reading the next book in the series since I don't care what happens to the characters.

Preview is misleading. I did not realize until the last page that this is only part 1 …. and the whole story could have been told in less pages than this part 1. So, my negative reaction to a high drama moment being the cliff hangar … you must get part 2 … is impacting my review. The setup is clever … Her mother who frequently marries has done a Vegas marriage to his Dad. His mother seems a workaholic. Neither has had any healthy parenting. She is painfully shy … you’ll read a lot of stuttering dialogue. He is a college football star, attracting the hottest girls on campus … and yet they seem to be painfully moving towards a relationship.

This was my first Mia Clark book so I didn't go into this with any specific expectations. Full disclosure,I only read through chapter 3. This was a college setting romance book but made me think of highschool kids with the juvenile antics and that really started to put me off so much that I didn't start the fourth chapter. Mia Clark maybe a great writer and I'm willing to give her a try with reading any other books she may have out but I don't think the stepbrother series is for me.

I love the witty banter between Hunter and Charlie. Her cute and shy demenor keeps Hunter more interested as he is the exact opposite. This story is funny, entertaining and sweet. Hunter may tease Charlie, but he's just as sweet. This story leaves you rooting for them and waiting to see what will happen next.

Charlotte is shy young woman that keeps to herself working on her writing. Hunter is the outgoing jock and the big man on campus. When Hunter's paths cross with Charlotte in the library, he and his friend find it fun to start bullying her. When they realize their parents just got married, this story is kicked up to a new level of entertainment.

Can't wait to see what happens next.

Mia Clark definitely knows how to write an epic stepbrother romance. I loved Charlotte and Hunter's story. The back and forth between them kept me reading to see what would happen next. And the chemistry between them was strong but it wasn't rushed. We were able to watch them slowly build their bond over time. Can't wait for the next volume!.

Great introduction to these characters as neither of them know the other but are thrown together in an unlikely manner. Enjoyed the the slow awkwardness that they both have towards the other as neither really know how to feel in their new found relationship. Intrigued to read more as this storyline evolves.

I really enjoyed this read about Charlotte and Hunter. Hunter is a popular Jock while Charlotte is a shy, insecure, virgin. They just found out they're step-siblings. At first it seems like Hunter is always making fun of Charlotte, but by the end it seems like they are both catching some feelings. Can't wait to see what happens next with them!

Stepbrother, Please Stop Teasing Me! (Volume One)

Stepbrother, Please Stop Teasing Me! (Volume One) is the first book in the Stepbrother, Please! series. I first read most of this series in Kindle Vella when it was originally published as episodes. Volume One contains Episodes 1-16. The series is about Charlotte Scott and Hunter Jackson and was an enjoyable read if you like college bully with the addition of the forbidden.

I kind of had high hopes for this book especially after being disappointed by one recently. Unfortunately it did not live up to my hopes. It was annoying to read and I kept waiting for it to get better. I don't know how old both charecters are supposed to be but they both seem really childish. I'm kind of glad I made it to the end and I don't want to find out what happens next for the first time in ages. I can't really complain as the book was free.

Good lord where to start?
I’m so not a fan of Vella, paying for chapters and thus paying so much more than it costs for a normal book.
The POV flip-flops sometimes and you have to stop and think back or read back to get your bearings.
The main character, Charlotte, is frustrating to say the least.
The author seemed more excited to share that the book had reached xx,xxx works when she should be more concerned with content and not strongly this crap out.

Over-Done Main Character

The story was good but Charlotte, one of the 2 main characters, was definitely over-done. The constant stuttering made the book hard to read and as a college student, she was much too naive. Yes, she was shy but in today's world of social media and relaxed television the character acted as though she had been locked up and away from society. With a few changes this piece of work could shine.

Another mostly disappointing stuff your kindle freebie. The book ends on a cliffhanger when there is no reason to have one? I didn’t expect much from this book based on the terrible title 😂 but the main character was written so poorly and the stuttering constantly because she’s socially awkward was very irritating to get through. I can’t believe there’s 6 books to this series. Won’t be reading anymore of them

Charlotte is a shy virgin. Hunter is a bad boy. Now he turns up as her new stepbrother. Charlotte's mother and Hunter's father married in Las Vegas as a spur of the moment thing. But it won't last long. What is Hunter up to with Charlotte? We will have to wait and see for the next episodes in this serial story.

Stepbrother is a phenomenal story! Characters that you can feel in your heart. A storyline that keeps you on the edge of your seat and glued to your kindle! For me it was a love-hate deal as the main characters face the harsh reality. A must read. Grab your copy today and start reading. Enjoy happy reading 📚

Charlotte is a very shy girl who is a romance writer, a nerd, very sweet; her mother marries and suddenly she has a stepbrother who hates her (maybe). He teases her, challenges her slowly bringing her out of her shell.
The story is well written, fast paced, with lots of slices of life incidents that show how their relationship is developing.

The back and forth with stepbrother Hunter and stepsister Charlotte is so entertaining. He is bold and outspoken she is shy and stutters when confronted. Heads up to all, this book ends on a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to start number two!.

I.. I sit here, like… um… you know… you know…
It… it’s just too… and …
I … I don’t… I don’t even know, and …

I hope you liked my review since it was written in the style of this book.

Hands down the worst book I’ve ever read. And so incredibly stupid! The book, the characters, and, I suspect, the writer. My 16 year old child writes better than this.
