Lyons Club #3
Until I Own You: Une romance avec un demi-frère (Lyons Club t. 3)
On n'oublie jamais l'homme qui nous a pris notre virginité. Surtout s'il s'agit de son demi-frère...
Seth Vance sait vraiment comment me rendre folle.Il s'y entraîne depuis que nos parents ont décidé de se marier et de nous lier à vie.
Même à seize ans, aucun garçon n'était autorisé — ou désireux — de m'approcher. Et je savais exactement pourquoi.
Mon demi-frère surprotecteur et possessif en était la cause.Il a fallu que je parte à l'université pour avoir enfin un vrai petit ami, et regardez comment ça s'est terminé. Une décennie plus tard, je suis de retour.
Plus âgée, plus sage, et prête à poursuivre mes désirs les plus profonds.
Et ce que je veux, c'est me débarrasser de ma virginité et trouver un homme capable de réaliser tous mes fantasmes de soumission.
Le Lyons Club semble être l'endroit parfait pour chercher.
Peu importe si mon demi-frère désapprouve.
S'il pense que personne n'est à la hauteur de la tâche, alors peut-être devrait-il prendre les choses en main et me montrer les ficelles…

I thought this was such a sizzling hot novel with a bit of a forbidden taboo. Seth and Bridget are step-siblings and have always been attracted to each other. Out of respect to their patents, they refrain but there is so much chemistry between these two. When they finally get together, it is so explosive! I really liked both character and thought that this story was fun, entertaining and so steamy hot!.

Bringing Sunlight to the Shadows in a Darker World of Love
When widowed Amelia Carlton and single dad Soloman Vance, married after years of him being a single dad, his beautiful daughter, Bridget, was overjoyed. As the CFO of Lyons Club, a private BDSM club, and best friend of owner, Edwin Lyons, Soloman’s sweet daughter, while without direct female influence until dad married, grew up aware of a world where the relations of men and women were not hidden from the young girl who was known to be her dad’s shadow. But now, with Amelia--a loving, sympathetic woman supporting the dad and daughter, providing beautiful, sweet 16-year-old daughter, Bridget, with a loving mother to support her and to help dad guide and support his sweet girl through the challenging teenage years of her young life, life for Bridget was filled with joy.
And, Amelia Carlton, a widow following the unexpected and horrific death by drowning of her beloved husband, was able to once again have the benefit of the loving support of a strong, attentive man to assist her with son Seth. And, with his quiet strength and his understanding, Soloman needed to help the widowed mom better support her teenaged son in his grief. Seth, who was with his dad sailing off the coast when an unexpected storm wrecked their sailboat, physically injuring both father and son, leading to dad’s drowning death, and marking the son both physically and emotionally.
And, while the two step-siblings only lived in the Carlton-Vance home for about 18 months in their teens, they were very aware and wary of each other. It was not that they didn’t get along, rather, both are aware of an unspoken, but powerful connection between them. And, now 26-year-old adults still recognize a connection that society would find unacceptable. And, now, as adults, both engage with each other on a weekly basis with their parents for a weekly dinner, but they are both aware of their attraction
And, as an adult, understanding the nature of membership and activities of club members, Bridget, a virgin, has become fascinated with her own interest in the basement/dungeon of the club where in a safe environment, BDSM activities are enjoyed by the members. And, after Bridget’s early return from college, she became PA to Sonia Hill-Lyons developing an interest in that world, becoming sensitive to the relationship of dominance and submission in romantic relationships. And so, she also recognizes that her step-brother, Seth, also shares her interest, but being braver than Bridget—and male—has actively explored the BDSM relationships in the Underground area of the Lyons Club.
But, Bridget is cautious about pursuing a BDSM relationship for herself. While confident Seth easily arranges for scenes in the Underground, Bridget is afraid and timid, but with cause. During her unfinished college years, Bridget, like many co-eds, became a part of the dating opportunities. However, the naïve young girl was too trusting in sharing her interest in BDSM. What she hadn’t understood was that a Dom should always protect his Sub, not use the relationship to beat and abuse the trusting Sub.
So, after barely escaping the potentially deadly abuse of a man who professed an interest in a relationship, she reported him to the local police and withdrew from college, returning home to the protection of her home and family—turning her back on her dreams of fabric design and a loving, caring, protective relationship with a Dom who would always put her needs first, helping her to heal from her abusive and physically harmful young encounter.
After reading Until I Own You, I was eager to continue exploring the world of the Lyons family and their friendships and relationships. While this romance dives deeply into the BDSM world, it does so with taste and passion. Callie Stevens shares with her readers an engaging tale of past decisions not only following an individual into the present, but also possibly reshaping the individual’s new beginnings and possible future. I enjoyed the romance and look forward to future encounters with the Lyons family.
I received a review copy of the novel but enjoyed it so much that I bought a copy for my personal “read again” collection.

"Not until I let my heart go. I'm totally lost for her."
Aww. Sweet. Right?! Romaaantic! Yes, I'm that girl who drools over being swept away with the heart feels.😄💓💓 I really really wanted more of that in Bridget and Seth's attraction and journey. Not to say there weren't glimmers of it, but it wasn't till almost the end of the book that yeah okay, here we go with the emotions... the connection...the honesty beyond the physical. Then like that, the book ended.
This story centers on the characters and world building of the Lyons Club families. It can be read as a standalone. But you will encounter characters from the first two books of the series. This time, it's between step-siblings who bicker and get on each other's every last nerve. I know what you're thinking, eww, right. But they weren't around each other till they were in their late teens, 16 and 19. And Ms Stevens didn't make it uncomfortable. Fast forward 10yrs and they both harbor an attraction for one another but secretly, without knowing how the other feels. For me, Bridget seemed sweet, but kind of wishy washy. She wants independence, a grown woman wanting new experiences one minute, but then she buckles around Seth. She gives up every aspect of herself solely to him. To depend on him, to please him. For me, I don't really like that. It's too much imo.🙊 Seth on the other hand, is too dominant for me. Too controlling. Even indifferent with his emotions and coldness at times, especially around her. It's like, dude, chill. Which leads to this highly explicit, graphic exploration, in the underground playground of the adult club. This is a journey of a Dom/Sub relationship and how far they each want to take it. There are a great deal of levels here. Just fyi. If you're uncomfortable with that, then this book might not be for you. However, if you do, then check this one out. But can their relationship go beyond the walls of the secret club?? What would that mean for them? And what will her Dad and his Mom think of this? Bridget and Seth have some past trauma to deal with. I would have liked if this had been shared from the get go, build it up, instead of leaving it till the last couple of chapters. Just a thought. Happy reading.💟💟💟

Arc review
Bridget - 26, virgin, pathetic , has reasons. Daddy’s good girl.
Seth’s - Step sibling, obsession, Dominant, controlling, argumentative
10 years of sibling pining 🫢, taboo, are either a monster for what they want? Sweet temptation, forbidden fruit, bane of each others existence.
Pretend ….. but for how long and what changes their circumstances ?
A step by step intro into the life of a Dom & Sub. This is more than step siblings disliking /liking another. Being a - “Good Girl”, holds more respect than just simple words of praise. A line has been crossed. What are the ramifications between Seth & Bridget?
What has Seth also kept bottled within? A Dom losing control. Having Bridget has also broken him, crying for so many things, a father lost, for the person he was when his dad was with him. A chasm opened within. Sacrificed all to hide behind fear. The loss of a parent has many hurdles to bare. They are always with us, it’s how we keep their memories that makes us or breaks us. Do we seek a positive future or are we dormant? This is a fight Seth has to resolve. All because of Bridget.
Overall, a walk through and intro into the life of Dom/Sub. Both Seth & Bridget took us through her intro life. Though step siblings , their acquaintance came late allowing for adult feelings to become present. A rough start for them both as they had to comprehend their situation in life. Sstep siblings with emotional feelings not only in love but in Domination too.
We are still in ‘Lyons’s Club’. The characters are still present, allowing uss to follow their progress. Callie has created a storyline full of sexual wonder, not degrading in any way. Her scenes are tasteful and respected. No lacking in the sexual scenes 🔥🔥🔥🫢
Mature readers only. Life at Lyons’s Club is only becoming hotter and better. Rule breakers.

Another great book by Callie Stevens. This one follows the romance of Bridget and Seth in the Lyons Club series. Bridget is the daughter of the CFO of The Lyon’s Club, an adult club. Bridget likes to sneak down to the dungeon and observe. Bridget is a submissive and is finally ready to find a dom and lose her v-card. Bridget is also the stepsister of Seth, a dom at the Lyon’s Club. Bridget and Seth’s parents have been married for ten years, and Bridget and Seth have been fighting like siblings just as long. Bridget is feeling smothered by her overprotective, possessive stepbrother Seth, and she is ready to be rid of his constant interference in her life. Seth doesn’t agree. In reality, Bridget and Seth have been secretly lusting after each other for ten years. Once they realize this about each other, they embark on a secret dom/sub relationship. And they are HOT together!
The story is filled with vividly detailed scenes and well-developed characters. Seth and Bridget are complex, which makes their relationship complicated, angsty, and messy. Both main characters are wound tight emotionally with wounds from the past that have been left untreated. The best friend characters of Jack and Abigail were so annoying. I’m not sure why they were such great friends of Seth and Bridget. I enjoyed the rest of the characters. Overall, this is an intense love story sprinkled with a lot of spice. I recommend this book to fans of explicit novels about stepsibling, enemies to lovers, and virgin romance.

This is not my usual genre choice. In the past, I avoided because of all the hype on the 'number' book that shall not be named.
Something about the first book of this series (read a sample) and this book appealed to me. I tend to read whatever catches my attention since life is filled with experiences and even though not all of them are on my path, it doesn't make them any less interesting (and, sometimes, more so).
With that out of the way, I enjoyed this book overall and felt that it was well-written. She did go into beginner dom/sub details which could be informative or tantalizing, depending on your perspective. Based on the experience level of the character, it made sense and felt appropriate.
I will say that the main characters sometimes made me want to smack them (so many characters do - including IRL) and say COMMUNICATE. Seth should have gone to grief counseling years ago. I also really wanted to tell the 'friend' Abigail to mind her own business.
Throughout the book, I couldn't help rooting for Bridget and Seth. Their parents are adorable. Plus, I truly admire Bridget's fashion skills and wish I could sew what I thought of.
But I have to be honest, the last half of the book was totally worth staying up late to finish - no matter how groggy I was at work!
Happy sigh. <3
Now to see about other books in the series.

Until I Own You is Book 2 of the Lyons Club series. It's a steamy, instalove, OTT, forbidden, virgin gets her stepbrother kinky romance. Bridget and Seth met when they were 16 and 19 when their parents married. Both were attracted to each other even then but didn't know how to deal with it. They acted out by fighting constantly. Fast forward 10 years, and Bridget is the 26 year old sweet daughter of the CFO for the Lyons Club, an elite sex club. Seth is now a wealthy, 29 year old CEO. Bridget is fascinated with the Underground at the club where the Doms and subs play. She watches and hopes to find her own Dom. Seth is a Dom at the club. Through a series of events, he realizes his feelings towards Bridget are reciprocated by her. They begin a secret Dom-sub relationship, and it is hot. But both have past traumas and fears of what their parents will say. Their chemistry was explosive and hot enough to melt my Kindle. There is a lot of drama and angst before our couple finally gets their HEA. This one was an emotional roller-coaster but so worth the ride. I absolutely loved it!!.

10 STARS!! -- "Not a second goes by I'm not thinking of her".
I loved this storyline. Now, that doesn't mean that I wasn't distressed at the main male character, Seth, from time to time. A lot of the time! But that is not enough to make me put this excellent book down and stop reading. Oh no, my friends, I'm stronger than that!
Bridget, the main female character, is such a significant part of the story that she is why I don't stop reading even though it's well after midnight. Bridget makes the story 'Breathe.'
Many other characters in the story bring a full contingent of friends and family to flesh out the story to completion. There are laughs and tears, good times and bad. Each character plays an important role to the story which enhances the depth of the storyline.
UNTIL I OWN YOU is a hit in my mind. While it is a bit lengthy, it is so worth the time. I'll admit to crying a few tears and laughing out loud in some places. I got ‘p.o’ed from time to time, too. I rejoiced in many places, too!
What more can you ask for in a great read? Not much in my opinion.

This is part of the Lyons Club Series and continues Bridgett and Seth's love affair. They've been step siblings for ten years, and each has a secret crush on the other. Bridgett's father is the CEO of The Lyons Adult Club, and Seth is a DOM there. She has been secretly watching the action in the 'dungeon' and is determined to lose her V Card. The book is amazing and hard to put down. Plenty of angst and drama in the love/hate relationship between them. He is very protective and controlling of her, and she likes being submissive. The characters were complex, likable and well-developed. No shortage of spice or steam. This one's you don't want to miss. Another winner for Callie Stevens.

This book was shorter than I expected, but I really got into it and wasn't able to put it down once I got to know the characters. I really like the aspect that we go to see the point of view of both the male & female lead, because that is usually what hooks me. Getting to see things from the male's viewpoint gives me the extra push I need to get to know the characters and want to find out more. Overall, I'm really glad that I read this book and it makes me want to read more from Callie Stevens. I love that this wasn't simply about having a BDSM kink and that we got to know the characters and that it simply was something that brought the characters together, in the end.

OMG this was another amazing story about Bridget and Seth forbidden romance.It was a spicy page turner and the suspense was highly intense. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn't even put it down. It was addicted and mind blowing of the sexual tension that was going on between them. The attraction between them was like a rollercoaster ride and who will find out this secret affair that was going on between them that was unprofessional and manner. The temptation was so hard them to fight the urge of sexual tension. Bridget need to change at life but Seth wanted to be controlling her and her life but she she need to break a way.
I highly recommend this book and you won't be disappointed. I am voluntarily leaving my honest review. Trina Jones

Callie has brought us back to The Lyon Club and we start at Edwin & Sonia's wedding but in this one we have Seth and his stepsister Bridget. Bridget wants to be a sub but due to a previous trauma she needs someone she can trust. But she really wants Seth. But she doesn't think that is possible.
Seth has had his eyes on Bridget every since they met but he can't imagine a chance of them being together in any shape or form. But can they stay away from each other when all they want is each other.
Love the way the club was described made me want to go. Thank you Callie for writing a book that took me away from my life and into something new.

Seth & Bridget: Part of: Lyons Club: Forbidden/ step siblings/ enemies to lovers/ Dom-Sub: Great plot and wold building. They can’t act on their desire towards each other, so they fight their attraction by fighting each other. Love the banter. Seth is an active Dom at the Lyons Club, while Bridget tends to be a voyeur and dreams of being his sub. She wants to lose her v card and make her sub fantasies come true. If her overprotective, possessive stepbrother doesn’t think anyone is good enough for her, then he will have to step up. Loved the tension, drama, and spice. I will be reading more from Callie Stevens.

Really enjoyed this book from start to finish. So much so that I couldn't put it down once I started. This is book 2 in the Lyons Club series, and it is about Bridget and her step brother Seth. I loved the connection between these two and how the forbidden relationship developed. I enjoyed reading about Bridget finally exploring her hidden desires and how Seth looks after her throughout this book. I love these two together and really hope we see more from the couple in future books in the series. I have loved everything I have ever read from this author and I always look forward to new books coming out!.

This was a great read! Seth and Bridget have always had a bit of a tumultuous relationship. His mom married her dad when they were teens and it seems that they’ve been at each other’s throats since. Much of it really was Seth, but now we know why!
They’ve both been harboring secret feelings, ones that they believe will crush their parents and that people will see as wrong or perverse. Can they finally give in to those desires? What will their friends and family think?
All my questions were answered and then some! These characters were easy to like and root for. There was a bit of a surprise, for lack of a better word, that I wasn’t expecting and that did help things between them move along.

I wasn’t looking forward to reading a step sibling story. It screamed “ the ick factor”. I read it anyway and I’m sharing my perception.
A deep dive into the tumultuous journey of Seth and Bridget, exploring their emotional scars and tangled past. While the main characters shine with complexity, the secondary characters add depth and contrast. Despite some annoyance with the best friend characters, the novel delivers a passionate blend of love, conflict, and steamy encounters. Recommended for fans of taboo romances with a side of angst and heat.

RATING: 4.5/5
In “Until I Own You,” Seth is incredibly possessive and downright obsessed with his stepsister. Seth is a Dom, and when he finds his stepsister Bridget at his adult club, something in him is unleashed after ten years of pining and sometimes what would be considered manipulating situations. Bridget, on the other hand, is a virigina and submissive and has no clue that Seth even feels anything towards her. When they do get together, the things he teaches her make the pages go on fire. “Until I Own You” was every bit forbidden and hot. Though Seth is a Dom, there is a sensitive side of him that does come through, but only for Bridget, and I liked that––this was a good read.

Bridget and Seth have danced around each other, their feelings, and their sexual attraction for years because they’re step siblings. He’s a Dom and she’s dreamed of being his sub: the reality is so much better than the dream, but it’s very confusing since they can’t tell anyone. Bridget is innocent and her training has highs and lows. Callie Stevens created so much tension, drama, and spice that it I rooted for them to talk to their parents. They hit rock bottom before they’re able to declare their love for each other. Their story pulled at my heartstrings and they deserved the HEA!.

How scary to be a sub, or feel you’re a sub, and then try to find the right Dom for you? Bridget knew herself and her needs but still felt being a perfect good girl for her father precluded exploring the lifestyle. Seth had long had feelings for Bridget but did such a good job of covering them, she thought her feelings not only weren’t returned but that he didn’t like her. I never really understood their “step-sibling” issue - they weren’t related and didn’t even meet until they were 16 and 19! Lots of heat, lots of feels. Good read!.

3rd book in the Lyon’s club series, Seth and Bridget character were easy readable but both had hidden traumas we get to see these its heartbreaking from Seth.
These two have had a standoffish relationship right from their first meeting when their parents meet., these two have a sexual desire for BDSM you get to follow where these two end up.
For me it was a good read if you like BDSM books then this will hit the spot with a good back story from both main characters out of the 3 book the first is my favourite

I don't read much of this type of story. I decided to give this one a try and I am happy to report that I loved this book. Seth and Bridget are two people trying to get the one thing they want, each other, although it's "taboo" because they're step siblings. I loved both characters and I love that Seth showed his vulnerability, he wasn't a complete jerk. I enjoyed watching the progression of their relationship. I found myself emersed in the story and read it within a few evenings.

This book was one HOT read with some intense moments as well as suspense on oh no what is going to happen next. Callie writes so well that once you start to read her books you honestly can't stop. I thought this book with Bridget and Seth was the BEST and I caught myself smiling at the end on how nervous Seth was with everything. This was another well written, captivating and wonderful story with a well-deserved HEA for both Bridget, Seth and their family.
