One Step Forward
Recipe for 1 curvy California girl, 1 skinny mean stepsister. Add 2 hot twin stepbrothers. Leave alone at home while parents are on honeymoon.
When her mother remarries, curvy Jolene has to move halfway across the country for her senior year of high school. Worse, while the happy couple takes a month-long honeymoon, she’s home alone with her mean-girl stepsister, Angela, who’s making her life miserable at home and at school.
Jolene’s only bright spot is Jonathan, the nice half of her new identical twin stepbrothers. It’s hard not to fall for the handsome, well-built college athlete, especially when he’s the only new family member who is nice to her. Yet she doubts he has any real interest in her, even though he keeps showing up and offering to take her out.
When Angie steps up her mean campaign to cruel levels, Jolene retaliates and thinks she’s put an end to the situation. At the same time, Jonathan proves he has more than friendly feelings toward her. Just when Jolene thinks things are looking up, Angie comes back with a secret weapon—Harrison, the other twin.
Family tensions run high as secrets start to come out of the closet and it all gets captured on cell phone cameras.

One Step Forward has the ick factor of a young girl and her stepbrother. Throw in the evil stepsister and a cliffhanger ending and it's not for me. Very short read.

What a great hot sexy read! Totally enjoyed this story...can't wait to read the next book in the series!
Jolene has moved across the country since her mom is getting married. She is getting a step sister & twin step brothers out of this marriage. Her sister, Angie, hates her and will do anything she can to make things difficult for her. Jonathan, one of the twins is very sweet to her. Harrison the other twin, not so much. Angie busts in on Jolene in the shower and snaps some pictures of her. In order to keep her from spreading them throughout the school, Jolene agrees to do whatever Angie wants for three days. She makes her life a living hell...but Jonathan steps in and helps to make it better. The two share some special time together...but will the other two siblings mess that up? Read it to see what happens.

A short taboo story of a girl named Jolene who is not having the time of her life living with her new step family. While her mom and their dad are out for their honeymoon still. Tension is flying all over the place as sibling drama goes all through the house. Angie her evil stepsister thinks she has it all. But two can play that game or so Jolene thought. Until two other identical wrenches get thrown into the mix....how will she survive.

Different but good
I can't believe her step sister she kind of reminds me of Cinderella. Her step sister is pure evil that is for sure. Hollis is the one I feel sorry for. You would have to read it to understand it that is for sure. Great job writing this story can't wait to read more.

When Jolene's mother gets married she is forced to move to the other side of the country. If that wasn't bad enough, her new step sister makes her life miserable, but not all of her step siblings are mean. Wow, very hot, loved it.

This is a great step-brother romance. It also addresses the issue of bullying. This poor girl got not one but three step-siblings. One nice, one truly evil, and one we don't get to know very well yet. The evil step-sister is going out of her way to her life miserable. Bullies will do that. I am hoping part two will see this problem rectified.

Not All Her Steps Are Mean
She left at her new home while her mom is on her honeymoon, with the stepsister from Hell. If she thought highly of herself she wouldn't worry about what others think of her. But things are looking up, maybe. Enjoy I did.
