Crude
Knox Shepherd is a total d**k. A really, really big one.
He’s a swaggering, cocky prick who blows through women the same way he roars around town on that motorcycle of his - fast.
Sure, I wasn’t supposed to be sneaking out to bars or singing at open mics, but that didn’t give him a right to talk to me like that. No one’s ever said those things to me before - filthy, raunchy, crude suggestions that made me literally run for the door. Suggestions I wish didn’t make me feel so funny inside.
But hey, no big deal, right? It’s not like I’d ever have to see that smug, foul-mouthed jerk ever again.
If only he weren’t standing with that cocky smirk on my front porch right now, right next to my father’s new fiancé. His mother.
Yeah, that unbearable prick is going to be my new stepbrother.
OK, he’s gorgeous, and every time he looks at me I can practically hear him whisper deliciously dirty things in my ear. And maybe something about his cocky swagger makes me think I should break some rules for once.
...Maybe something about him makes me not so sure I want to go to college still holding on to my V-card.
But I definitely don’t want to lose it to my stepbrother. Ew.
So why can’t I stop thinking about it?
**This is a standalone book with a HEA; NO CLIFFHANGER!**

Just an okay read...
sort of like a Romeo & Juliette of a forbidden affair with a predictable HEA, which, in this case ended up pretty good for them! *wink*

I received this for an honest review. This was the first book I have read of Aubrey Irons. To be honest when I first started reading the book I thought it was going to be like most I read when it came to stepbrother books. That it was the same layout. I was so wrong. You are so in for a treat in this book. I loved it!!!!
Paige McCauley was this talented young woman. She had her future laid out for her. She wanted to make her father happy but had this hidden love. She loved more then classical music and wanted more for her life then going to college and being a doctor. She loved to write her own music. She was truly a talented young lady. She had so many hope and dreams problem is she would never step out own her own and make them come true.
You could not help but fall in love with Knox. He had that bad boy thing going on. Just looking at him you would think that was all there was to him. He had a mother that loved him so much and saw so much potential in him. She knew what he truly was capable of.
When Paige 1st saw Knox at the club that she was not suppose to be at she never would of dreamed this guy was going to be her future stepbrother. When Knox first heard her play and sing he knew she was so talented and hated seeing her not following her dream.
Things start to heat up between Knox and Paige. You will see the Paige trying to push him on the right path and you will see Knox pushing her to follow her dreams. They are like a piece of the puzzle that fits together and complete each other.
How will Paige’s dad take the news that his daughter is straying from his dreams for her? How will he take the news of Knox and Paige together? There are a few road blocks that Paige and Knox will face but keep reading there are a few surprises in this book as well.
This is more then a stepbrother taboo book. A lot of people loved to get focused on that part alone, whether that be positive or negative view to them. This is about two young people who need to follow their own path and be pushed in the right directions. This is about how positive attitude, love, and believing one can succeed motivated that individual to do what needs to be done. Usually in a book I have one or two characters I hate, but in this one I actually like every character.

1 Disappointing-Star ☆
The story was okay, but there were a couple problems... I was counting a lot of stars while reading this book. It had it's ups and downs... but mainly downs. :(
+1★: Knox heard Paige masterbating and decided to walk in on her. ;) thats hot!
-1★: the word 'crude' was used way too much. That was basically the only word used to describe him besides arrogant and it was used in almost every paragraph. I know it's the title of the book, but i hate when terms are shoved down your throat.
-1★: There were a couple spelling errors and grammar mistakes. Quotations were missing to cap off statements, commas were never put. I looked past the first couple, but after a while i was just getting pissed. “...give you a jobC cry me....”
-1★: I know I'm supposed to think Knox is hot, but it didn't connect with me. I dont even know what his face looks like or his hair color. All i know is what i already saw on the cover...tattoos and muscles. And, he's bad qualities are just plain stupid. Stupid is not sexy by the way.
→ “Nah man, just trying to think of the best way to rub your face in it when I fuck Paige McCauley.”
-1★: Filler. Certain parts of the story seemed to drag and take too long. Which is sad, because i started off liking the story, but somewhere around 20% i started drifting.
-1★: i hated how the story began with the parents telling both kids they're getting married while introducing them to each other for the first time! Who the f#%k just gets married without meeting their kids or introducing families? Its a major cop out to add suspense into the plot this way. I groaned out loud when i read it, because it's the same plot twist as every other hot-stepbrother-book.
-1★: i didn't develop any connection to Paige. She likes to play music, thats all i know about her. I cant say i'd even want Paige as a friend, because she seems boring. And not boring because she wears khakis and button downs, because i wear similar clothes, but she has no personality. She's portrayed as a dull virgin. Who would find that sexy?
-1★: i had to stop. I hate admitting i couldn't finish a book, but i couldn't. It was boring as f#%k! Its weird because its not written that bad, but it's lacking that oomph, and originality. I can already tell how the story is going to end and i don't like it.

BooK :Crude: A Stepbrother Romance
Rating : 2 1/2 stars
My thougts about it
I always have time for a good stepbrothers love affair, I find them to be so hot , that I always jump to the idea of a new good one , but the truth is , that there are just to many of this books that are so so or just plain old bad ones ... so I guess that’s why it took me a while to get around this book , it just didn’t do it for me I guess ?!! There's nothing bad about it , it just didn’t get my complete attention , but today as I was reading it , I kind of liked it... It was a sweet little story with some bits of steam to it ... so not a bad read after all , not an amazing one either ,but good for an afternoon with nothing to do.
The Characters are a little bland, and the main guy is not as steamy as I thought should be, but he was engaging enough.
The bad thing was that the story felt too old nothing new to add, and the girl was to Mehh !! If anything I was totally rooting for him in this book.
The ending was super-fast and suddenly he was everything that he said he wasn’t all the book long ?? ... huuuu ok i guess??
so that why I kind of wanted to like it but just felt short.

This was okay and short but I finished this longer than usual because I got busy with school..
I think I am forever waiting with a step brother romance story with a pregnant heroine at the end.. Can anyone recommend it to me??

I received this book for FREE TO GIVE MY TRUE & HONEST REVIEW
Omfg this was pretty HOT f##ing brilliant. I loved the pretty arrogant, love himself, bad boy Knox (though he's not really a bad boy) & the ever such goody good shoes Paige, who is such a Daddy's Girl, who is to me being groomed to become a classical pianist but has to hide the love of her writing in the Indy Genre. And they first come across each other when Paige sings at a bar Knox & his friends are at. Then they meet again when they're told their parents will marry & they will be moving in.
So here we see Knox being that boy, who gets whom & What he wants with his charisma, trying to break down the up tightness in Paige. And what a break down he is able to break down. But the two of them can't/ won't believe how they both change the other one & What a beautiful way that these things have occurred. Yes there was a little bit of heart in mouth moments.
But what a lovely easy read of a love story, it is 💘💘💘

Typical but enjoyable bad boy/goody two shoes girl forbidden romance.At first I didn’t like Knox that much. He wasn’t just crude, he was also kind of an obnoxious dick in the beginning. But once he and Paige kissed he was much less objectionable I think because he was focussed on getting Paige because he liked her and not in a I just want to score way. And I also thought he was pretty tolerant of Paige’s hot n cold freak outs (of which there were many). Kind of reminded me of Prick by Sabrina Paige.

Knox and Paige were great together. They knew they should not be attracted to each other but lust kept pulling them in. They were opposites, but opposites attract. Knox was able to get Paige to come out of her shell. Paige realized she can't be hiding herself anymore. Her dad might not have approved but in the end love won out!
May 5, 2017
I totally loved Knox and Paige ! Knox sexy biker with brains ,Paige talent student, love music . Her dad owns the company Knox's dad worked for and his mom is now going to marry. Totally enjoyed this read 4💞
May 8, 2017
Completely enjoyed this story. Knox is a a**hole who seems to touch Paiges buttons
by antagonizing her. They soon find out they are to be stepbrother and stepsister.
While encouraging Paige to follow her dream, they become close. Chemistry is strong
between the two and makes for a good read

This was such an amazingly well written book. The chemistry for Paige and Knox was put of this world. The storyline was brilliant and erotic. I'm not quite sure why this book would have been taken off the shelves so to speak. It was enthralling and romantic in that sexy raw way. Loved it!!
May 23, 2018
Paige and Knox teach each other a lot over the course of the story, not just what they like in bed. He forces her out of her little box of a world and she makes him see his true potential. Good story.
June 9, 2025
This was a good book very ya in sex scenes although they were between soon to be step siblings. Paige and Knox met at a club then learned that they were soon to be step siblings. Does have a hea ending.
May 23, 2017
Enjoyed this. A fast paced good read. Ideal for the beach.
July 4, 2017
Very well written. Great story. Loved the epilogue...it gave just enough to be able to close the book without NEEDING more.
August 9, 2017
It was good, especially in the beginning."Paige" annoyed me sometimes."Knox" was everything i was expecting from a 'bad' boy character.
October 14, 2017
I liked the story. Some spelling and grammar errors the editor needs to fix, but overall, easy and fast read.
May 25, 2020
As what the author said, this story is a summer cliche about a boy and a girl.

Book Review By: Kristy Dean
Title: Crude: A stepbrother romance
Author: Aubrey Irons
Pages: 150+
Price: $.99 (at the time of posting)
(Arc for honest review)
Authors writing style: This is the first book that I have reviewed for Aubrey Irons. I was hooked from the beginning. The story is detailed and you could relate to the characters and the events happening. This is a story that I would read again as well as other works from this author.
Overview: (May contain spoilers).
Paige was a good girl. She was raised by Joseph McCauley and oil tycoon, but he expected you to work hard for things in life. Paige’s mom left them when she was 8 and she didn’t know why. Paige worked hard in school and in music to achieve goals her father set for her. Paige liked to rebel a little by going to open mic nights, using a fake name and sing music that she wrote with her piano. One night, she meets a few rowdy boys. They liked her music and wanted to buy her drinks. Paige didn’t except the offers and goes him. The Next night a guy on a motorcycle cuts her off and gives her the finger on her way home. But when she pulls up to her house, she is shocked to find the motorcyclist there. He is hot and he is the same guy for the club the night before. Even worse, is when her dad steps out with Amanda, is new girlfriend on his arm and introduces Amanda’s son Knox to her. Even worse is when her dad introduces Knox as her soon to be stepbrother since they decided to get married in the fall. Paige is shocked. Knox is just as shocked. ..
Knox was not looking forward to moving into the McCauley mansion. He wasn’t happy that his dad died and worked for McCauley Oil Company. Now his mom is marring into the family and he has to put up with miss up tight, her father, and his mother’s new life. Knox learns fast that his mom wants better for him, so she pushes Joseph to help her son grow up. Knox is a genius but doesn’t want to attend college or has chosen a future yet. Joseph feels it would be good for him to look after his daughter and keep her in line while pushing Knox into the oil industry too. Knox has only one mission, and that mission is to win Paige’s trust over and have fun exploring her till she goes off to college. But Knox starts falling for Paige on a deeper level and fighting it.
Paige and Knox both know their time is limited, but they keep exploring themselves and each other in the next few months. But will their love be enough in the end? Will Knox find his way? Will Paige be able to find a balance between who her dad wants her to be and her true self?

A game of cat and mouse that's thrilling to read. Again, this kind of story is so much fun!
The teasing from Knox is merciless, but also hot as it makes good-girl Paige all flustered in a bad way. She's prim and proper due to a strict father, yet she has dreams pushing to come out. Good combination, and vital for the couple's relationship. I liked that a lot.
The story has a quick-fire rhythm thanks to short chapters that alternate between the characters' point of view. Knox is a crude bad boy who loves to tease red-head Paige and fills page after page with tingling sensations. However hot the is, he also has a mind of his own and issues with family and his future. I liked that the light and fun tone of the story left some space to character development for both of them.
Some scenes are deliciously naughty. Though the one in the bathroom positively steamed every surface. And that wasn't the end of it. Plenty of room for other explosions of hotness. In plenty of rooms, too ;o)
I loved the way they inadvertently help each other break barriers and get the best in themselves out in the open. They have a lot of opposition, but that conflict and emotional rollercoaster intensified the romance. It was a lot of fun with the forbidden sneaking around the mansion, the crude remarks and hot attitude that Knox shows, and especially with Paige's dreams coming true, liberating her.
There was a couple of things that I wasn't too fond of. For instance, sometimes I'd have appreciated some dialogues that were more meaningful to help establish the bond between the characters. And there is an intimate scene that proves they don't give a damn about consequences which I found odd.
Apart from that, I enjoyed this stepbrother story a lot with its outrageous banter and the sweet and spicy romance. I wouldn't mind more of this!

I thought this was amazingly well written, I can easily identify with Paige. Every girls dream and nightmare. A hot, sexy bad boy invading all aspects of their life. And as usual bad boys being bad, has her itied up in knots. Then there is the subplot which makes the story a little more interesting. Dare we say dirty? Hmm. Well that's for you to decide. An then we have Knox, appropriately named. The classic bad boy always in trouble, never doing what he should or could. And all of sudden this hot , motorcycle riding tattooed guy is thrust into Paige's world. Is it a dream come true? Well if the title says anything.. It might be misleading or not. But let me tell you, I couldn't put this book down. This is well written, hot sex scenes, and enough drama your almost nail biting and swooning at the same time! Please pick this one up! It's a great read!
I recieved this book as an Arc in exchange for an honest review.

ubrey is a hell of an author, she never lets me down, always pushing the limits, and boundries which I absolutely love!! This isnt just another step story this one really does push in every way possible! Paige is pretty much a good girl, she loves to sing , an she loves to do in in front of an audience, she's a sweet girl. Knox on the other hand is a piece of work. He's ignorant, cocky, and doesn't care what comes out of his mouth. Not to mention very sexy! He always has crude comments to say to Paige , after awhile she can no longer ignore what her body wants, and needs. Things heat up, and one thing leads to another, but there's a huge problem... There step brother an sister. So now what? Oh wow! You seriously gotta read this!!

This is a very different story about Paige and Knox two young people with parents who are about to be married. Paige has met Knox at a club she shouldn't have been to. Paige has a lovely voice and her dream is to sing. Which is opposite of what her dad wants her to do. Can she grab hold of her dream and go her own way? Knox is the bad boy who has a need to help Paige acquire her dream. He needs to grow into his potential to become a well rounded individual. Can these two find happiness together? Will Paige's dad realize she needs to follow her dream? This is a well written story and I give it 5 stars.

Crude is a good description for this book and its lead male character. because that is just what he is around his soon to be stepsister. but is it all a ruse to hide his true feelings? what started out as just getting a rise out of her grows into immense proportions he never imagined.
will these two youngsters manage to find a middle ground to co-exist or is giving in easier to cope with the attraction?
there is always that forbidden feeling reading a genre like this but it's writing it in such a way that it doesn't feel that way that makes it a good book, one i wouldn't mind reading again.

Wow! Just wow! This is only the third book by Aubrey Irons that I've read, and I must admit that I like her style.
I'm quite apprehensive about step brother romance themed books. Because, I can't imagine myself being in that predicament. But honestly, the first two step brother romance that I've read from Aubrey makes me reconsider.
While I don't have a step brother to test the waters, I truly enjoyed Aubrey's novels. Especially this one, since it's funnier and a bit lighter. No heavy shit, but still good. It showcases what 18 year olds go through when they're thrown into some life altering circumstances. Not all step brother/step sister relationship work well.

I loved this book. I'm not much for a Stepbrother romance book, but this one was amazing. It's not just a story about forbidden romance; it's a story of young love. You get your tattooed, misunderstood bad-boy and naive good-girl. There isn't anything annoying for me in this book that can be common in this genre. You get your HEA with a nice epilogue. Take the time to read this as well as Aubrey Irons' "Soldiers of Fortune" series. You won't be disappointed.

This book is about Paige, a nerdy good girl who always follows the rules, and Knox, a crude and cocky prick who is a womanizer, whose parents surprise them by getting engaged. Knox is an Alpha male who has tattoos and piercings while driving his motorcycle. Paige is a sweet girl who spends her time playing her piano and studying. These two are totally opposites however they just click, and no matter how much Paige resists Knox she just can't stay away. They have a lot of factors against them in this book. Aubrey Irons wrote an amazing book and I look forward to reading more books soon.

I didn't actually finish this book. I love stepbrother romances when they're done right. I just didn't find this one to be one of them. It's the same old song, heroine wants to be someone her father doesn't want her to be so she lives her life pretending. The main male character I just couldn't get into. At some point I may go back and finish it and then come back here and edit my review, but at this time it didn't do it for me.

Hot!!!
So I'm not big into new adult romances but I picked this one up because of the author. I have become a huge fan of Aubrey Irons. This book had her name so I bought it and so glad that I did. It was hot, sexy, steamy and I didn't want to put it down. I'm so glad she has become one of my must read authors. I can't wait to see what she has for us to read next.
