Knox has been in jail for a number of years after an incident with some dirty cops and his step-sister Myrah is excited to see him since she just turned 18 and can officially visit. When the two see each other for the first time in years they are both shocked that the other is all grown up and filled out in all the right places. The sexual tension begins right away and ramps up pretty quickly and they test the limits until their feelings for each other are made clear. This was a great taboo/forbidden romance that was short and to the point. Looking forward to reading more in this series and from this author.

Again, wish there was more smut.
Knox is serving time after being framed by dirty cops. His stepsister, Myrah, is the only one who believes him. Now that she's 18, she can finally visit him at the penitentiary and he's not the older brother she remembered. They end up flirting and dirty talking and bada bing, bada boom, he's out of jail and back home to claim his stepsister.
This one is pretty hot. The entire story about how he gets out of jail is totally ridiculous, but honestly, I'm not really reading this for the story.
This fic overlaps with "Resisting".

How are you going to have an Erotica book where the h and H don't have actual sex until 80%??? Imagined sex or phone sex do not count! I'm reading to indulge in a fantasy, not the fantasy OF my fantasy! If you're going to have a terrible story, then the sex at least needs to be there, if the sex isn't there then you need a decent story. This lacked both.

I am so in love with this book like wow wow wow it’s so hot and forbidden, ugh I can’t 🤭🫠🥵
What to Expect:
❤️Step-Siblings
🥵Age Gap
🖤Convicted Alpha
🔥Revenge
😈Hot, Naughty, and the best case of Roleplay
My ARC Review (5/5 ⭐️, 4/5 🌶️)
Knox was a high school captain of the football team, champion all-star quarterback, and valedictorian but a traffic stop gone bad landed him in prison. Wrongly convicted he is forced to face a life with minimal contact with the only person who cares about him, his little step sister Myrah. 6 years have gone by and Myrah is finally 18 and can finally see Knox expecting the same preppy brother but who she sees is a 6’4 tattooed, muscular bad boy who is making her feels things she shouldn’t feel. But it looks like Knox feels the same way because his little step sister is not so little anymore and her curves, dark hair, and piercing blue eyes are enough to bring a man to his knees waiting to worship their queen. Unexpected feelings, the forbidden and taboo of it all, and the hot, hot foreplay was just exquisite like the very best I’ve ever read. I love a good stepsiblings, forbidden romance and this one delivered. Landry, you did it again! Honestly the best book I’ve read by you and I can’t wait for another release.
Thank you to Landry Hill for the opportunity to be an ARC reader for this book, I loved it so much!

Unruly by @authorlandryhill
LANDRY 👏🏻 FREAKING 👏🏻 HILL 👏🏻 LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. If you haven’t read a book by Landry, you’re missing out! Her plot to spice ratios are always on point and her characters’ dirty talk? 🥵🔥
I never read what books are about before reading them, especially when I know I’ll love the author’s work anyway, so I didn’t realize this is the same world as Resisting until I was like, “wait, is that the same Rowan?” And then of course Daddy Ryker showed up! I loved it! This book was so hot, and I was so invested in the characters! Especially when I realized I had read about them in Resisting - they felt like old friends that I got to know better! A lot better, if you know what I mean! 😉
I can’t wait to read more from this series, and literally anything Landry puts out, because so far I’m pretty sure I’ve given all her books 5 stars! She’s certainly one of my faves!

Daaaang! Landry Hill can sure write a spicy scene 🔥
If you are in the mood for a quick, fast-paced romance with some forbidden angst sprinkled on top, you definitely need to check this book out. Knox is one yummy dirty-talker and I am so glad he and Myrah got their HEA!

Don’t we all love a big, tatted, bad boy stepbrother with a dirty mouth? At least I do lol, Knox fits the bill! I really enjoyed the story line and of course the spice was 🔥🔥I don’t want to give too much away, but it will have you mad, and ready to fight one minute and then you’ll be 🥵in the next. I love seeing people get their comeuppance. I’ve really liked everything I’ve read from Landry Hill and look forward to reading more. I received this book as an arc. This review is my own personal and unbiased opinion.

dnf at 60%. i really tried, i did. i don’t usually write reviews but the complete lack of honesty in these reviews is crazy. not one stitch of plot and awkward intimacy. i should have known i was done when the fmc’s best friend kissed her moms boyfriend at a high school party…and it’s okay that they sleep together because the mom is just SO mean to her. and then the fmc almost sleeping with her ex AFTER starting a romance with the mmc. big yikes.

Meh
I was in the mood for an easy/ short taboo romance and decided to give this one a try. I will say I'm glad I did for the spice. Woo, it definitely had the spice! I do wish we had a little more teasing / FaceTime while he was in prison. Overrall super unrealistic book, but that's okay, I didn't read it for the story. I read it for the smut. I'm not ashamed to admit. I do love a good forbidden / taboo romance, but this one was a little much. They were step siblings, but he kept referring her to a child pretty much, which I don't care for in books. It's a little too pervy for me. I'm reading for the step siblings aspect not to read "bare as a baby's bottom " "my little girl" "my little strawberry" " You know daddy's rules". It was an instant turn-off for me. In the beginning, the smut was great and seemed to be between two adults. Unfortunately, it took a turn with the corny dirty talk . That's just my opinion. I also loathe any type of law enforcement romances so him becoming a sheriff really irked me. Overrall easy read, I read in less than a few hours while at work. Would I read this author again? Probably not.

sooooo unrealistic. I've read so many prison/incarcerated wattpad books/regular (s/o behind bars & alabaster penitentiary) over the years. I feel like this one is so unrealistic its hysterical. But books can be unrealistic, hell, so much under the "romance" umbrella is not real. The whole step-sibling "taboo" trope here didn't really work. I feel like the only thing that made them step-siblings was the whole "she was 12 with pigtails last time I saw her and now she's a woman." Also you don't facetime in prison. I do, however, like Knox's transformation and the way Myr described it. Bro went from a preppy quarterback to a dark broad shouldered guy. ALSO why would you be in prison for 7 years over speeding. Sure corruption, but, like, the plot got a little messy... oh and Zig? and Anna? Irrelevant. Unneeded.

Why are all of Landry Hill’s books so good that I devour them in just a day or two? Seriously, for shorter stories, you get the background, the full plot, and feel connected to the characters. It’s amazing! I love reading what she comes out with!
Knox was wrongfully accused of a crime and sent to prison. When his father disowned him and everyone turned their back on him, his stepsister stayed loyal and true. They talked constantly and wrote often. Six years later, she’s all grown up and visits the prison for the first time. It was instant attraction and the rest is worth every minute reading!

Knox has spent the last six years of his life in prison. He was a golden boy following in his father’s footsteps when he was falsely accused.
Everyone turned their backs on him except his sweet stepsister.
Myrah is no longer the kid stepsister he left behind, she is all grown up and is a temptation he can’t refuse.
When the length of betrayal comes to light he will do everything to protect her.
This was one hot read. Knox is a harden hot alpha now. Deprived of his innocence and freedom for the last six years. The taboo feelings these two have for each other make the story even sexier.
Great read.

Lo he leído en un par de horas aunque ponga un idea porque Goodreads no me deja poner el mismo día de fecha de inicio y finalización a la vez. Es un libro de menos de 200 páginas de hermanastros y disfrutón, tampoco voy a hacer una reseña súper profunda porque no hay tanto que rascar. Cumple su función que es pasar un buen rato leyéndolo y entretener, la traducción con la que lo he leído ha sido mala pero bueno, es lo que hay. Y en mi opinión aún le ha faltado spicy para lo que era, porque siendo un libro para eso tarda demasiado en llegar la acción. Pero si lo recomiendo para algo corto y disfrutón

call me crazy but i don’t think little miss step sis would be allowed to sit on Knox’s lap during visitation in a prison??? i know next to nothing about the prison system but so much did not make sense
ALSO how this book can be all smut and basically zero plot when they didn’t physically have sex until like 80% is beyond me
-ex convict
-forbidden/taboo
-step siblings
-boy obsessed
-mechanic FMC
-age gap, 6 years

Seriously HAWT!!!
Poor Knox has had such a tough past, scumbag of a dad and dirty lowlife police officers, in jail, his step sister Myrah has always stuck by his side....feelings grow....foreplay...foreplay....fireworks!!!

This story is about Knox and Myrah. Knox was wrongly convicted and sentenced to jail time. Six years later he finally sees his stepsister Myrah again. And she is all grown up. Their attraction to each other is undeniable. This book is hot and I love the forbidden love theme. I really enjoyed this book. It's definitely one I would read again.

Well then *fans face*
New to me author, and this book didn't disappoint. I didn't mind that it was on the shorter end. I couldn't put it down, and it was a nice change from all the other dark and series books that I've been reading. This was a hot little taboo story that definitely had me laughing and panting. Well done 👌

Wow! What a great read! I can’t believe Knox’s father set him up to be arrested, because of his greed for money! Then he had the audacity to want his step daughter to be his sex slave! And on top of that Myr’s mother knew all about it! I’m so glad Knox got justice and Ryker was the hero in all this! I can’t wait read his and Rowan’s story!! You have a new fan Landry Hill!

When I started this book I was on edge, I wasnt sure about a relationship with a brother and sister until I find out they aren't blood related And the love between Knox and Mayra was so strong at frist I thought it was just Lust but their love grew stronger and it ends on a happy ending. , but its a good book to tead I really enjoyed it.I definitely going buy this book for my collection.

I love how justice was served and everything worked out into an HEA at the end. I also love the retribution being dished out t to the ex gf. Eff that B
The scenes were well written and hot in this book. I've seen so many books that are well written but the smutty parts do nothing for me, but this, oh yeah, it's doing the damn thing.

Hot, Spicy, Crazy, Sweet!
So this is my first read by this author, and definitely not my last. Really a good story with a plot. The spice is 5/5. Yes, there is a HEA. What I really loved was the ending wasn't rushed. You really end up loving these characters.

Knox and Nyrah were destined to be... even though the relationship cou,d be taboo, it really isn't.
The first book read by the author is not last cause I gotta check out Rykrer and Rowan...just as taboo.

Wow! What a great little read. I cannot even imagine what this author could do with a full blown read if she can pack this amount of writing talent into smaller reads. I liked the idea of this book and even though there are cringe moments-“bro” and “sis”…yeah…I still enjoyed the book.

HAWT
super steamy,with some really sweet moments (that LETTER!!) a bit rushed,a little ridiculous,but overall not a bad read. Wish there was more of an epilogue,but satisfying nonetheless.

This book was 🔥. Yes there was some unbelievable stuff that happened like how quick he got out of prison and his record was wiped clean. But the spice definitely made up for it. Now I’m moving to Ryker’s book.

This book was so good. Knox is my newest book boyfriend, and I couldn't be more in love with him. I love how protective and caring he is; even in jail, he always encouraged and built a relationship with Myrah. Throw in the taboo step-brother troupe, and this story gave me all the feels. I couldn't put it down and read it in 1 sitting.

Great read. It was meaty without all the fluff. I really liked that. It got right down to Knox and Myrah. Perfect and the bad guys got it in the end. Loved it.

HA HA HA i think i didn't exactly know what to expect but at the same time i know deep down what I was going to find, safe to say, I skip most of the steaminess.
