By New York Times bestselling author Tawny Taylor, a story for fans of Stepbrother Dearest and Stepbrother Billionaire


I hate him and yet I want him. Desperately.


I am so effing dead.


Mom just got married, and now I have to live with my new billionaire stepbrother, Kent Payne. I should be happy, right? We aren't surviving on noodles and rice anymore. And at first I am. But things change. Quickly. It's him. Kent Payne. He is exactly what his name implies--a pain in the ass. Sure, he's gorgeous, and rich, and built like a god. But he's also a controlling, irritating, womanizing pain in the butt.


Now, thanks to our parents, we're members of one big, happy family. Whoo-to-the-fu**ing-hoo. He's a jerk. And nothing can happen between us anyway.


So I shouldn't care about who he's kissing in the kitchen...


And I definitely shouldn't be fantasizing about him being my first...

Nothing exciting happens in Tawny Taylor's life, unless you count giving the cat a flea dip--a cat can make some fascinating sounds when immersed chin-deep in insecticide--or chasing after a houseful of upchucking kids during flu season. She doesn't travel the world or employ a staff of personal servants. She's not even built like a runway model. She's just your run-of-the-mill, pleasantly plump Detroit suburban mom and wife.

You should have at least the other parts to the story up in the stores. And for some reason when I click on your books it says internal server error. Not cool

I wish the others parts to the stories were done I dont like to be hanging . Especially when I read over 200 books in 1 month so just waiting and reading other people books for the other part to this book to come out is unbelievable. Elizabeth Lennox I re read almost all her books on google books and I write wonderful reviews she always have deals and freebies on her books and I write to her to

3.75/5 STARS. WTF IS WRONG WITH KENT? He’s like your body is mine and only mine and the next minute you know he’s like it’s a one time thing to Shayne. So basically you expect her to be yours but also can’t do it with her again even though it’s clear you love her. I’m mad at Kent but he’s hot.

SMUT: So much push and pull. 3/5

Short

It was ok i guess. I don't know what I was expecting. It's not bad but it's also not great. I'm ok with the writing and the characters, just barely ok. I feel it missing something maybe it's me. It ok.

Cliffhanger

So I didn't know this but it's a cliffhanger!!! Please, authors, tell us when it's a cliffhanger because it infuriates the reader when we expect a HEA or even a hfn and we get nothing!

I received an ARC in exchange for a honest review. This is the first part of a three part series. Shayne is a senior in college and instead of going home to see her mother for spring break her mother is on a island getting married to a very rich man, Shayne has yet to meet. So she is heading to a address that turns out to be her new step brother Kent's mansion where she plans to stay for the next two weeks. Kent Payne is a Billionaire playboy who is beyond hot, he is a gorgeous specimen and Shayne cannot believe this Greek God is her step brother. She is drooling when he takes her on a quick tour of the house and then, showed her to her room which was bigger than there last home. But although the home is grand it is missing the homey feeling that Shayne is use to. Kent is taken by Shayne's beauty and although there is a lot of Flirty banter between the two Kent rejects her and continues to entertain a different girl each day. Unable to connect with her friend Ransom, Shayne heads back to school refusing to stay, feeling the way she does about Kent and unable to act on it. Before you know it Shayne has graduated and is back at Kent's house where she will need to stay until she finds a job. But what will happen next between them? Will they act on their attraction to one another? Will Kent find out Shayne's secret? You will just have to read this Sizzling Hot story to find out.

Book one in a three part serial. We meet Shayne, a college senior who comes home on Spring Break to learn that her mother is marrying a rich man and she is suppose to spend her break with his son, Kent. Kent is very sexy and Shayne falls into instant lust, but refuses to act on it since he is her new stepbrother. Kent is equally attracted but knows he can't do anything. After a lot of back and forth the pair come together for one time since they both know that they can never be in a relationship. Yes this book does on a cliffhanger so if you don't like them you may want to wait until all the parts are released. This book is very sexy and is not attended for anyone under 18. There is frank language and sex scenes and the taboo of stepsiblngs being part of this romance so if you have problems with these facts then this book is not for you.

I received a copy of this book for a honest review...

I am only at 30% and this book is driving me nuts. Every cliche term that someone thinks college students use today is included ever chance they get. This girl comes to meet her stepbrother for the first time, and it is days before she even wonders what's up with her mom who told her to just go to this address - via letter. Okay sure.

Finished this part one and it didn't get any better. New step siblings who never see or hear from their parents, saying they have feelings for each other when they've really only met 4 times. Even the sexy scenes were cliche. Ugh not for me.

I liked the story. Older step brother...hot as hell. Her a 22 year old girl with big plans. And...just once a night of bliss. That's it that's the meat and potatoes of the whole thing. I will read the next, just to see how it plays out.
