Charlotte

He’s an arrogant bastard, a manwhore, and a guy I’m forced to live with because my mother married his father. A part of me hates Derek because of the way he flaunts himself because he doesn’t seem to care that he uses women like they are nothing more than a body to warm his bed for a few hours. But what I hate even more is the fact that I want him. The more he teases me, brushes up against me as we pass each other, and slips in dirty innuendos during our conversations, the more I want to slap him, and then give myself to him as so many other women have done.

Derek

I know Charlotte hates me, loathes me, and thinks I’m a player, but what she might not know is that those little touches I give her, those filthy little slips in the conversation that have her blushing and getting embarrassed, turn me on like a fiend. I never said I was a good guy, and that I didn’t sleep around back in the day, because I did. But I’ve never wanted anyone the way I want her. My past is tainted, but how surprised would she be if she found out I haven’t been with anyone in longer than I cared to admit? How shocked would Charlotte be if I admitted I’ve stayed away from other girls because I want her that badly?

Warning: This story will feature an over-the-top and completely obsessed alpha hero. It will also be slightly unbelievable (but only in the best kind of way), and is focused on the hero taking what he wants from the heroine. It mainly focuses on the dirty, raunchy, and oh-so-tasty aspects of a story. If you’re up for a short filthy read, enjoy!

Sam Crescent is passionate about fiction. She loves a good erotic romance and so it only made sense for her to spread her wings and start writing. She began writing in 2009 and finally got that first acceptance in 2011 by Total-E-Bound.
She loved creating new characters and delving into the worlds that she creates. When she’s not panicking about a story or arguing with a character, she can be found in her kitchen creating all kinds of havoc. Like her stories the creations in the kitchen can be just as dubious but sometimes things turn out great.

I admit I wasn't sure what to expect from this one, since everybody said how much of a player (aka. the title name) he was. But there was no OW drama at all. What he did mention of his past sex life didn't bother me, since his feelings for 'his woman' came across really strong and sincere, that made me forget all his previous ONSs'.

I liked seeing his many layers. From a complete jackass to a sweet and caring lover. Also, I could relate to h's situation and her fears of her parents disapproval. I was not shocked but definitely surprised of the parents reaction when they found out (specially after the way they found out, ahem).
The epilogue was really sweet, too.

A great short and steamy taboo read.

A quick hot read about step-siblings Derek and Charlotte. Both 18 and in their senior high school. He's also a star football player.

Their parents got married and they were living under the same roof for 3 years. But he started to see her differently the last year. He was an ass to her but she didn't put up with his bullshit. Once they got together, there's no going back. And I liked the epilogue. I liked this one better than the first book especially the epilogue. For some of my safety friends, you may not like this one. See safety spoiler.

Today I am into the novella I guess. In this story we have two typical teens who are of course being stupid and playing mind games. Cause why be honest!? That's just way too boring!
Ok so the hero big jerk that he is sleeping around and all. However, being a teen and all I get that and since the heroine in question is taboo what's a guy going to do!?
I tell you what, why don't you do what she did and keep it in your pants!!!
After he decides she is it, he does stay faithful.
Heroine was spicy and I loved that. I gave all the stars because of her! She was fun.
3.25 stars.

Side rant: Omg really? I am pissed off that authors write about pulling out is an effective method of birth control. I got news for you, it's not! Use a condom! Rant over.

Happy reading

This plot line was absurd. The star football player manwhore with a big dick falls in love with his step sister. That's a whole lot of tropes shoved into one itty bitty book (I almost insinuated something dirty here about him and her but I'm holding myself back). It was OK, I liked that he was celibate for awhile, I liked that there was no OW drama or anything. I didn't like that based off the blurb I thought he was celibate since he met her but he wasn't. Knew each other for 3 years, celibate for 1. But beyond that the absurd was pretty funny and it was a light read.

***** Hot holy Hell, this was a sexy, dirty, amazing, filthy, sizzling Taboo Short story !!! Derek, football player and stepbrother is all about the conquest.
That is until he sets his sights on stepsister Charlotte,

virgin, and the only target he wants.
Explosive sex, deeper feelings, parents understanding, all helped this pair make it. Still hot and full of sparks they become inseparable. Great ending. You'll be breathing heavy throughout this tale, in a good way !! E N J O Y !!!

Sexy taboo love story between Charlotte and Derek.
It felt a bit rushed to be honest- and one or two things were contradicting- but some scenes were hot.
I needed a more expanded epilogue
3/5

He's A "Player" In More Ways Than One...

Yes, He's A "Player," but he's only got eyes for one gal now... And that's this "Player's" Step-Sister! But if this "Player" acts on that attraction what will his parents do? And how will the "Player's" Step-Sister take it if the "Player" finally makes a play on Her?
Yes, another amazing tale by the writing duo Sam Crescent & Jenika Snow... These ladies truly know how to deliver some Sinfully wicked delights that make you Pant & want a Fan with a cold drink on standby when reading their Scorching HOT, Smexxy RoMANces. No matter how many times I revisit their work, I'm NEVER disappointed~ I simply enjoy every single moment & page!

This is a short taboo read... idk where to start.. Derek who been lusting after his step sister but been celibate for 1 year.. (their parents been married for 3 years) so now he wants her?

" I’d stopped fucking anyone since Charlotte" sooo what's the truth?? Been celibate for 1 year or haven't touched a chick since seening her?? Cuz i am confused about this part??

And Charlotte been secretly wanting him since ever but he has been an asshole since she met him.... just very mixed for me..

Super short, no ow small smig of a flirty guy trying to get at her.. but was shot down quick by Derek..

If you love a quick hot dirty taboo read then Player is for you. Jenika Snow and Sam Crescent make a great smutty read team. Everything they write is hot, fun, full of Alpha's, and will leave you panting for more. In Player the reader meets Charlotte the nerdy hot girl whose mother married Derek's dad. Derek is a player and all around Alpha. He's got the hots for Charlotte and hasn't been the player for awhile. Charlotte can't stand Derek but there's a fine line between love and hate. Once Derek decides that Chatlotte will be his there's no stopping him because he's a over the top Alpha when it comes to Charlotte. In true Snow/Crescent fashion there are plenty of hot crazy scenes that will leave your panties wet. Stalk up on batteries before reading this great taboo short story. I'm loving this series from them nod I can't wait to see what's next.

This is another entertaining taboo short story from Sam Crescent and it's very hot. Derek is the star of his high school football team and can have any girl he wants. But he's been celibate ever since he decided he wants his stepsister, Charlotte in his bed. The only problem is Charlotte loathes him, at least that's how she acts towards him but really she can't stop fantasizing about him. When their parents go away for the night Derek and Charlotte are at a party together and when a teammate hits on her Derek is furious and takes her home to his bedroom to show her who she belongs to.

Charlotte and Derek have been stepsiblings for 3 years. He has a history of sleeping around and she's a virgin. He wants to fuck her and hasn't been able to get it up for another girl in a year...so hasn't really been sleeping around much. She's a virgin and hates that she wants to be another notch on his bedpost. And then of course there's their parents to worry about if they were to give in to their attraction and their parents were to find out. Needless to say, they do give in to that attraction. It's pretty hot smut and it turns to romance because Derek quickly concludes that this isn't going to be a one-time thing and he'll be the only man Charlotte ever has sex with.

This definitely needed to be fleshed out a bit more. I wanted to like Derek more than I did. His claims of celibacy sounded a lot more like it wasn't for lack of trying...if he'd been able to get his dick up, he might have still been trying. At the beginning of all this, Charlotte wasn't anything more than pussy to him. Also didn't care for how he threw the blame for his own promiscuity and player reputation back on the "bitches" he slept with, since they were all after the same thing he was. Why do they have to be "bitches" just because they had sex with him? What does that make him? Also had to contend with quite a few typos that threw me off the story a bit, but nothing too major. The ending of this story definitely needed to be extended a bit more...from the conversations with their parents (definitely felt the need for a conversation between the MCs) before skipping to the epilogue.

Very similar to the first book, even the sex scenes were exactly the same. Loved how they got caught in the act by their parents. HOT.

I pushed her to the bed and crawled between her legs, spreading her thighs open wide.

“I’m going to fuck this tight little cunt and have you begging for more.”

“Please, Derek; I need you.”

“That’s right, baby, you need me, and you’re going to have me.” Pressing the tip of my cock at her entrance, I started to work inside. She was so fucking tight, and it was the best place I’d ever been in the world. Her body was home to me. Charlotte was home, and I was never going to leave.

So sick of books with heroines that think with their vaginas. The hero is a tosser/ "Player"/ dick (everywhere kind of hero) and the virginal/ naive/ vapid heroine tells herself she can't stand him because of his character traits but he's been blessed with such hotness that she can't help but want him. So she overlooks his dick status as soon as he pays even an ounce of attention to her and they fall in love and have sex and live happily ever after. Blerh... not in the mood.

More on the Stepbrother craze!

This one's more on the Stepbrother craze going around. But it's also a sweet and short one, straight to the business. And although it isn't super different from the rest, it's still very good.

This short taboo story was very hot. The characters had a lot of chemistry and the sex was scorching. Just a shame in ended so abruptly. It felt a bit lacklustre after such a build up.

Este libro me salió más romántico jaja y bo esta mal la verdad. Pero pensé en mi que estaría aun más 🔥 que el primero.

Nos habla de Charlotte y Derek dos hermanastro aunque ellos no se ven de esa manera. Derek siempre ha tenido fantasías por ella y como Chrlotte también lo ha querido a él.

Las cosas se empiezan a salir de control y deciden ya dejarse de malos tratos y al fin ellos poder tomarse uno al otro. Ella es virgen así que él la toma como suya.

Una parte sus padres los descubre y pensé que se iba a amar el despelote pero no ellos aceptaron. Terminaron casados y con una hija en camino.

Este si es vivieron felices por siempre 😳❤️

Taboo...yes indeed but oh so beautiful!!!

The two lovely ladies keep writing books that have me salivating and keeping me hot and...well hot. LOL this is an older book by them and I haven't read many of their older books so I wanted to see if there was a difference in style or what have you. And I am happy to say that the authors are so strong and consistent it's actually amazing!!! This was just another awesome read by Miss Snow and Miss Crescent!!!

A veces tengo que recordarme que el hecho de que diga Taboo puede implicar cosas más leves como ser Hermanastros (sin vínculo sanguíneo) mi mente ya está muy mal jajajaja.

Pero bueee

Típico atleta mujeriego, que se enamora y cambia. En este caso, son hermanastros.
