Stepbrother With Benefits #10
Stepbrother With Benefits 10
This is a dangerous combination, the demanding bad boy and curious good girl, but I think I can handle myself now. If not, I'm sure I'll enjoy what Ethan has in mind, so...
I seriously can't believe he's doing this.
Rule #10 – I know you're a bad boy, but I want you to be my bad boy. I need you to promise that you'll only be with me and that you won't hurt me...
How do I explain this to Ashley?
I don't know. I'm not even sure I should try, because I'm pretty sure I'll say something dumb. Dating is hard, alright? Maybe you think it's hard to actually get someone to start dating you, but I think that's the easy part. It doesn't matter if you screw it up, because you can just move on to the next girl.
When you're actually dating, though, it's like... man, I can't screw this up. I can't say something stupid, because it's not as easy as just moving on to the next girl.
I don't want to move on to the next girl. I want to stay right here with Ashley.

Showers and Trees
3.5 stars - This episode feels a little déjà vu-ish. Oh, it's plenty dirty - which I LOVE - and fun, but Ethan and Ashley get caught in a compromising position. Instead of just being upfront about what's going on, they keep trying to maintain their secret.
I listened to an author's copy of the audio book with James Cavenaugh and CJ Bloom leading the charge. Both are well suited for the characters.

This has been a charming, funny story but now we're at book 10 its dragging on & on. What's with the dad? He's a pita! Obviously clueless - someone snap him out of whatever problem he's got, please. And as for the girl... Shes really slow. Wonder what he sees in her?
Thought I enjoyed this serial, but I finished it yesterday & can't remember their names, so it obviously made no real impression...
I'll most likely read the last episodes, if they're out soon.

Do not trust Caleb
Ashley might literally be the dumbest FMC I have ever read. Not just a little dumb—like serious, did-you-get-dropped-on-your-head-as-a-child dumb. Bless Ethan, because I would never have the patience to deal with this girl. And don’t even get me started on Caleb—I don’t trust that guy one bit!

More plot would help
I gave this book a 3 star rating because the author is over using the phrase "kind of." I wish their was more focus on the plot and not sex on ever chapter. It the story is fizzling out for me.

Addictive series

Oh shit!!!! (excuse my language) but I'm loving this series more and more. If you are caught doing dirty things up against a tree in the woods with someone you are not supposed to what would you do?? Well I'll find out soon enough what Ashley and Ethan would do!! Can't wait.
But seriously I'm about to kick this Caleb kid in the nuts for being so noisy and ruining a perfect sexscapade!!! Lol

Whoa! I wasn't expecting this! Ethan and Ashley were found in the woods with Evan's hand in her panties, up against a tree ...must i say more? It was hot until that nosey pr*ck started following Ashley around like a love sick puppy.
I cant believe the shower-sex scene! Ethan f#%king Ashley in the shower stall while talking to his dad on the other side! Holy sh*t! Ethan even had to cover her mouth to stop her from moaning out loud. It was so sexy!
5 ravage-me-stars! Im loving this series. Normally, 2-3 books in and i start getting bored. But not here. The story keeps getting better and the characters keep the drama building!

I am enjoying this series but also getting a little frustrated with it, I also couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Caleb in this book, he 'seems' like a nice guy but I suppose we'll see, they came across as very young in this book not college age.

Immature
Don't call this a book, it's chapters of a book and I am the masochist who is reading it. Just want to see how it's going to end.

Secrets, secrets. Really needs to be told. Another reason why I can't seem to stop reading this guilty pleasure read. To fine out when all the drama comes unfolded

Family Camping Continues #10 . . .
The family is on a camping trip together while Ashley and Ethan are still trying to keep their relationship secret. Ashley tries to talk herself into giving in to her morning urges with Ethan while they are alone in the tent. Ethan is still asleep, she peeks under his sleeping bag, then feels guilty and backs off. Finally she gives in and Ethan gets a big surprise as he opens his eyes. Moments later, Ethan’s dad calls out to them to see if they are awake. He wants them to come out of the tent and help with breakfast. Well, bacon is a good motivator.
Both Ethan and Ashley want to tell his dad that they are dating, but they just don’t know how he would react. He is so oblivious! He has no idea they are already in a relationship and keeping it secret. Ethan’s mom invites Ashley shopping so Ethan can be alone with his dad and talk to him about this. But will he? He’s never had to do this before because no one was ever a long-term girlfriend who meant anything to him. Will he finally tell his dad?
The Audible version continues to be narrated by: CJ Bloom and James Cavenaugh. They bring life into the story as they take on the personalities of the main characters. This story is certainly an emotional ride for the listener, but each segment adds more information or challenge and leads the listener eagerly to the next part. I’m wish we were given larger chunks of the story instead of these short episodes because it sometimes feel we are not making much progress.

Like an episode of a TV series episode 10 (part 10)
I liked this slice of life. It was entertaining and enjoyable even though it's more like an episode of a TV show than a book. A book to me has a distinct beginning, middle, and end while this book just stopped. The characters were interesting and you got to hear from both of them. Ashley and Ethan take some risks that they really should have thought better of. Ashley's mom cracked me up so much. I definitely agreed with her about Ethan's dad. Caleb had to be very confused and hopefully he won't be a total jerk to them in the next episode.
I thought the story was interesting but I wanted more. The narrators did an excellent job, especially because of the way the story is written, it's as if the characters were talking directly to you as the listener (or reader). It's smutty and short but good. I recommend giving this story a chance by listening to this audiobook (or reading the ebook).

This is book 10 in this short, steamy, taboo romance between a somewhat innocent Ashley and her bad boy step brother Ethan. A family camping trip is adding more fuel to the fire. While these two find it hard to find "alone time" they are getting more and more risky with where they "interact" and take risks that could expose them...
I can't help but love these characters but my heart aches for the bond I wish Ethan and his dad could have - but from what I've heard so far they both seem to be to blame for their lack of closeness. I also love how Ethan attempts to dote on Ashley.
Fast paced and continuous cliffies - I've somehow found myself enthralled in this series and eager for each new book. Dual narration is perfection and I can't wait to see what happens next!

Ashley and Ethan are still going at it like rabbits every chance they get. Trying to keep this relationship hidden from Ethan’s dad is not going to be easy considering every time they turn around, they can’t keep their hands off the other. Ethan really needs to get off his butt and just man up and tell his dad what is going on. While I like the story, I wish Ashley was a little surer of herself. She is always asking Ethan if he really loves her, if she is pretty, etc.… She is so insecure, that it is getting old. Ethan is doing a pretty good job of reassuring her and giving her compliments all the time, but it’s not enough for her. What happens when they are caught by an unsuspecting person? Will the secret be revealed? I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The whole family is camping, with Mom and Dad in one tent. This leaves Ethan and Ashley to share a tent. And a shower. Caleb is trying to insert himself with Ashley, until she puts the kibosh on that. I love Ethan and Ashley together. She's smart, but so inexperienced. Ethan is my favorite... not the brightest bulb, and about every tenth word begins with "f", but he has such a soft spot for Ashley, to the point of throwing around the "L" word. I'm really enjoying the narration by CJ Bloom and James Cavenaugh, bringing this book to life. I received a free copy of this book via Cherrylily ARCs and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I enjoyed this story. It was hot and explicit as we watch these two on the camping trip as they are still keeping their relationship a secret from Ethan's dad. This story picks up where the last one left off and I would recommend reading the previous books as they are so interconnected. The story is entertaining and hot as we watch them grow a deeper relationship along with all the sex. Ashley and Ethan are trying to figure out how to navigate an actual relationship while keeping it a secret, which is not easy on this camping trip. Ethan is trying to figure out how to tell his dad but things have not been going smooth between the two of them.

Each book is one chapter
With a bunch of unnecessary filler. I'm still going to continue to the next book, but once I'm done with this series, I won't read another Clark book again. The only reason I'm reading them is because they are free with KU. Ashley is annoying enough to be distracting, and I honestly feel like she acts like a 13 year old girl. I'm sick of skimming through these books, but I'm invested enough in the characters, I want to know what happens next. I just think it's crap and cheap how Clark wrote and released these books

Very interesting camping trip!
So far this whole book has seemed to be a camping trip filled with one bad decision after another. Caleb is definitely an obstacle in Ashley and Ethan's camping plans. And Ashley's mom is still super cool! I'm kinda thinking that Ashley & Ethan ought to just chill out a bit...

Lots of drama in this part. It’s still exciting and steamy, but there is so much awkwardness and tension. Sneaking around is getting really complicated for Ashley and Ethan and there are plenty of close calls. They’re still early in their camping trip so I imagine there is a lot of angst left to go, especially after that cliffhanger!

This one has some really hilarious situations for our main characters as well as supporting characters. Of course there's lots of smut because they can't keep it in their pants and this causes their really tough predicaments.

A continuation of the previous book. Ashley and Ethan have a very interesting relationship. I am not a big fan of Ethan's dad. I get why he does what he does, but still, it is very irritating. Learning more about Ashley and her mother's past was also interesting.

It's Still Not Settled and A Storm May Be Coming
Not only is the situation still unsettled with those who matters the most, a storm could be brewing over the horizon. While the fire is still burning I suggest we pull up a chair.

Not My Fave
Probably my least favourite. I dunno, probably because every conversation I read, I think "Why didn't you say this or why didn't you day that?" I guess if failure to communicate was banned from being written into books there'd be like 7 books on the library shelves.
