Julian

by C.M. Steele

Julian Martinez is a singularly focused man, and he dedicated his life to becoming a doctor. Nothing would distract him from being the best until he meets his best friend’s little sister, Everly. She has become his obsession, and it has taken all his control to stay away.
Unfortunately, things get too crazy when circumstances leave Everly as his new roommate for the next several months. Clenching his teeth, Julian does his best to maintain a distance, but a man has only so much self-control when temptation sleeps in the next room.
Everly had known of her brother’s best friend for years, but it wasn’t until they met that she lost her heart. To her dismay, they were worlds and years apart. Luckily, she lands in his lap and does everything she can to show him that she can be anything he wants as long as they’re together.

Julian has been in love with his best friends little sister Everly she's so sassy and bratty he loves it. Now that she's moving in with him. I thought they would have more time together, but honestly, nope. Half of the time, he's working, or she's cleaning their home. 😒
I was coming on they need some time together. I get he's a doctor but geeze. The first 2 months, it said they only saw wachother 4 or 5 times 😕. Everly already had a crush on him, but both never took that step. Until they both pushed each other. Then it was a little better with them as a couple. But I truly didn't feel the obession.. they had drama with some random woman, which made no sense.. because it left that mess with the brother and cliffhanger?
Beside that, there was drama with the brother who fought with Julian when everyone, even the mom, was like okay they love eachother.

Now we get Julians story. He is the son of Grace and Rico( Ghost ) and trains to be a doctor like his mom. He is in his last year of residency and lives with his roommate Drake. The only problem is Drake's little sister Everly. Julian saw Everly four years prior and fell instantly for her. She was too young and he wanted to focus on his education. But everything changes when she takes over the lease of her brother and is now the new roommate of Julian. Now Julian lives with his obsession but tries to stay away. But Everly is in love with Julian too and teases and drives him insane until he finally breaks and claims his woman. But things get a bit difficult when Drake finds out and a nurse from Julians hospital makes her moves on him. But Julian waited four years for his woman and nothing and nobody can stop him from getting his HEA and his future wife. 😏 Instalove (but they have to wait),age gap, sweet, steamy, fun to read, a few twists and turns, lite DD/lg play(really lite), romantic and totally safe (I freaking loved that they waited for each other ❤️ They were their one and only) with an awesome HEA and with a bit of action too😍😍😍😍😍

4/5

TROPES:
~brother's best friend
~age gap: 10 years
~forced proximity/roommates
~dual virgins!!

Julian and Everly have been restraining their feelings for each other for 4 years. He's her brother's best friend. He met her when she was 16 but didn't make his move until she was 20. Her brother and him were roommates, but he soon moves and makes Everly move in with Julian so he could keep an eye on her. They dance around each other for a few months, but with Everly teasing Julian and calling him "daddy" every chance she could - he couldn't resist.

I loved this! I need to read more by CM Steele. I love dual virgins, and the hero in this book was OBSESSED. It was really sweet too.

SAFETY:
Virgin/manwhore/celibate: dual virgins
OM/OW: slight OW - she pursues H but he puts a stop to it
Cheating/sharing: none
Triggers: pregnancy
Kinks: daddy kink, rough sex, praise/good girl, dirty talk
HEA?: yes! <3

More than a crush by MeemsAngel82

This was another fun read that was steamy as well! I loved the family involvement in this, two sweet to see people being protected and cared for. The writing is great and I this isn't an MC book where it's rowdy and has Club girls, rather it's a family group.

She needs a place to stay and he's her brother's best friend. But she's been in love with him forever.

She did what she could with her finances and I can't blame her. You do what you can and luckily she had her family and his for support. He took great care of her and he honestly should have given in sooner. I'm glad he finally did so because there is some drama with a coworker. Don't drink irresponsibly and that goes for everyone! But don't worry, that isn't our H or h. This was a great addition to the Steele Riders MC. A family orientated MC, now that's what I'm talking about.

I’m loving the second generation of the Steele Riders! These men are just as protective, possessive, and slightly unhinged as their fathers were. Julian is in his residency as an emergency room doctor, and has been pinning after his best friends little sister since he saw her at their graduation 4 years ago. Everly is almost done cosmetology school, and has been crushing on Julian just as long as he has. There was a lot of push and pull between then, some drama and lots of steam. There was a few editing errors, mix up of characters, and I wasn’t always sure who was talking. But it was a good story none the less, and it always helps when the MMC is OTT! No cheating or OM drama, slight OW drama but he made his loyalty known quick and it was cleared up in a satisfying way, dual virgins, HEA and a couple epilogues in the future. Can’t wait to see which second generation kid is next!

[Diana · Rating 5 out of 5]

I’m back with another review, and so is C.M. Steele with the second generation of the Steele Riders series! I’m beyond excited to see the kids from the first generation grown & getting their own happily ever afters.

As always, the story is fast-paced and full of insta-love—which is totally up my alley. I love how quickly I can devour Steele’s books, and I can’t wait to see what’s next in the Steele Riders MC world.

Julian being Ghost and Grace’s son was an unexpected surprise in the second book, but I absolutely loved his unwavering commitment to Everly. And Everly? She held her own and gave as good as she got, which made their dynamic so fun to read.

All in all, it was a great read!

He can look but not touch...oh the temptation

Julian is the second book in the Steele Riders MC Second Generation series. I liked this story and the characters but there were some issues for me along the way also. Both Everly and Julian have a lot of internal dialogue about each other, but not a lot that is expressed to each other. There were time-line issues, detail inconsistencies and proofreading errors. The actual story is an age-gap, best friend's sister/brother's best friend, MC romance. I liked both Everly and Julian as characters as they progress in getting together and then managing the fallout from it. She has been in love with him for years and he falls quickly when he meets her again she she is a woman, well at least of age now.

[Kari Hansen · Rating 4 out of 5]

With both her mother and brother moving Everly finds herself needing a place to live while she finishes school. Her brother suggests she take over his room in the place he shares with Julian, his best friend. Everly is all in on this idea as she has wanted Julian for years and she hopes that this will allow that to happen.

Julian was drawn to Everly before he knew that she was his best friend’s sister and there was also the matter of her age. He has kept his feelings for the last four years but living with her is going to make that difficult especially when she challenges him at every turn.

The chemistry between them is intense and Everly and Julian have always belonged together and now it is finally their time.

[Melissa Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is book 2 in Steele Riders MC Second Generation series. This is brother's best friend trope with lite daddy vibes. Everly has loved Julian since she met him 4 years ago. Julian also has feelings but has held back due to Everly's brother being his best friend and there is 10 years between them. I like the banter between Julian and Everly. Julian is protective of Everly and will do anything to keep other men away from her. I'm happy to see another book in the second generation Steele Riders MC. Good addition to the series.

Julian has loved Everly since he met her when she was a teenager but he never acted on his feelings because she was too young. Everly has been crushing on Julian for just as long and now that she's older she's ready to take a chance on love. This is a best friend's little sister, roommate romance with likable characters, steam, and a great ending. Julian is book two in the Steele Riders MC: Second Generation series and I can't wait to read the rest of the series. I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book.

I loved this story! Julian falls in love with Everly at first sight but the problem is she is to young for him and his best friends sister. When his best friend moves out of state Everly moves in with Julian. She is in love with him and hopes that he feels the same. He is fighting his feelings for her but she is doing everything she can to make him break. Once he does all bets are off. He is claiming her forever.

[Brenda Moser · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a well written age gap/best friends sister romance with strong characters in Everly and Julian. The author takes you into their lives with a secret love for one another and an enjoyable banter. She moves the story quickly and smoothly with her descriptive scenes and delivers an entertaining read.

Julien was another super steamy read by C.M. Steele. Julien has hidden his obsession with Everly, his best friend's sister for years. When Everly's mom leaves with her new fiancé, she needs a place to stay, so Julien agrees to let his biggist temptation move in with him. The more time they spend together, the more obsessed he becomes and he's not the only only one. Everly is completely and totally in love with him too and Julien is finally ready to stake his claim.

Stacking the Odds

Julian is in love with his best friend’s sister, Everly, but she is only 20 to his 30 and he isn’t sure he should make a move. Everly has been in love with Julian since they met but isn’t sure he feels the same so she decides to test the waters when her brother moves from Julian’s apartment and she needs a place to stay. Everly keeps tempting Julian until he breaks in this sexy tale.

["They Did What?" · Rating 5 out of 5]

The characters are great, and the chemistry is off the charts. I loved that this is one big love story, and I liked how these two felt a connection from the first moment they met.! It has everything I like in a good book, obsessive/protective male, a small amount of angst, laughter, tears, fun, heat, unwavering love and a HEA. It doesn’t get any better than that. This book is well worth the time.

The author has given us a heartwarming older man/younger woman story that pulls us into the lives of Julian, Everly and his best friend/her brother, Drake. The story keeps us turning the pages with secret desires, denial, lies, revelations and steam.

I am loving the second generation series! Julian and Everly were so adorable together. It’s funny how Julian thought he could resist her but then when he finally gave in he was so obsessed. Easy, quick and cute read.

This is a fun, sexy and sweet story about Julian and Everly. They fall hard and fast for each other at his graduation. Neither disclosed their feelings because her older brother is his best friend. This puts her in forbidden zone. This is a short and quick read that is a touch over the top but very entertaining. Now they are roommates. The attractions is very mutual.

[Narelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Julian has been lusting over his best friend Drake's younger sister, Everly, for years. And vice versa. But now they're under the same roof and the lid's about to come off! A slow burn, but hot, romance with touches of Daddy.

Welcome to the second generation of the Steele Riders. Everly and Julian have been dancing around each other for years, but Everly manages to become his roommate she's ready to make her move. And Julian is ready for it. These two are all about each other, and give a nice glimpse into the first generation of the Steele Riders.

I've read a lot of books written by C.M. Steele; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

This is the second book in the Steele Riders MC Second Generation Series; it is a stand-alone short story. The story is about Everly & Julian; he is her brother’s best friend.

This book is truly amazing ... I fell in love with Julian and Everly's story ... to be honest I fell in love mostly with Julian ... he's so much a girl can dream of ... even though I don't really like doctors ... 😂😂 I'm excited to see the rest fall in love too ..

He’s got a thing…

For Everly. Julian is older, always in his doctors residency. But has a stalker level thing for his roommates little sister, Everly. She’s only twenty and moving in with him for four months. The least safe place she’ll be.
