Stepbrother With Benefits 15
"It's you, Princess," Ethan says. "You're perfect, and I need you in my life."
Rule #15 – We have to cuddle as much as possible. All the time. Every night.
"I love you," I say, mumbling, not sure how to tell him exactly how I feel about him right now.
"I love you, too," he says. "I love you so much."
"Can you tell me what you meant before?" I ask. "About the girl stuff?"
"Yeah," he says, genuine. "What I meant to say is that this is hard for me. It's hard being away from you. I think if you were here with me, it'd be different. Everyone could see we're together, right? They'd know, and then I could focus solely on you and you alone. Right now, though, the way things are, and the way I left things last year, everyone thinks it's a joke or something. Or that I'm making it up, or that me saying I have a girlfriend now is some kind of game. It's not a game to me, Princess. It's more real than anything I've ever experienced before, and I guess I just want everyone to know it, but I don't know how to get the point across."
I know why they do it. I don't know if I can tell Ethan, but...
It's because they've all only ever had a week. A week isn't enough with you, Ethan. I've had over two months with you and that's not even enough. I don't know how much is enough. I don't even know if it's possible to get enough...
I wish I'd known how much I had before.

Getting progressively worse
Yes, it's true this chapters are getting progressively worse. I can't hardly believe, that I previously gave this soap opera a four star rating. This episode dealt with someone posting your image and your words illegally on the internet; the billionaire father businessman, can easily hire lawyers and handle the situation at hand but in this illogical tale that wasn't even in any one radar. Don't even going to go into the mother discussing with daughter and stepson, a threesome she (the mother) had with two other girls during her college day.

Definitely one of the funnier books in the series
This is such a great series! I’m constantly amazed at how open all the parental relationships are. I seriously could not imagine a conversation with my mother like Ashley has with hers. Lol! But it all makes for a great book. But Ashley and Ethan made it through the first day apart, but not without some challenges.
I can’t wait to see what the next book brings!

Settled In & the Training Wheels are Coming Off
All in all, a pretty good first day back at college for both Ethan and Ashley. Of course, both were challenged their first day back with one suffering a character assassination and the other a challenge to his old ways. So far so good.

Frustrating Episode
This episode annoyed me. None of the characters, main or side, have any problem blurring out the most personal or inappropriate statements and questions and yet none of them day what's necessary. Such as "Get out of my room" or "In going to the police/Dean."

Episodes
Mini episodes series. A little addicting once I started I really can't stop. I guess I need to find out what happens in the end.

The series seems to be getting a bit more challenging for Mia since the couple is now at the school. I'm finding I'm not as eager (as before) to get to the next book/snippet.

So far away
Different colleges is gonna be hard for Ethan & Ashley. Especially with Jake around. With the help of new & old friends, these 2 should make it.

Takes forever
Genuinely takes forever to get to what needs to be said. The humour In this one isn't as good as other's

What a great series, but...
I really enjoy this series but I wish the author would make them longer. I can read a season in one day. I just wish she would maybe do an entire week per book. Writing about only one day can include a lot of details and I'm glad she doesn't just give us a few paragraphs per day and I wouldn't take a single scene out, they were all just as important as the next. But every time I read one novella, I want more more and I want it NOW... not too petulent ;-).
Now about this story... I really enjoyed each scene as I mentioned. And I think each one was important. This is their first time being separated and you can feel the emotion of what they are feeling and how difficult it is for each of them to be away from each other and to return to a place where they had entirely different lives. You can see how much they changed and grew up over the summer. I know pretty much everyone has experienced this type of emotion before for a loved one, so expect at least a tear or two.
It is also great to see how the relationship between the two characters and their parents has changed over the summer and how Ethan is able to have a relationship with him finally, since his mother's death. I especially love how his father is taking the extra effort to try to communicate with Eathan in a way that he can understand (you'll LOVE that).
I hate yet love the way the author brings in characters from the previous "seasons", Jake, Caleb, and Scarlet. If you haven't read the extra scents on www.Cherrylilly.com, then do that before you read this novella.
What I don't understand and wish the author would have elaborated " how Caleb and Scarlet know exactly where Ethan's room is since he just checked into his dorm room and how they know about what Jake has done at a campus five hours away. I also don't understand why Ashley didn't transfer schools, knowing Jake is going to cause problems and that she doesn't want to be parted from Ethan.
Overall, this definitely a great read, but read all the previous ones first. I love how we get to see Ashley and Ethan grow up and become a better version of themselves. They both become more confident and have to learn how to be the bigger/better person. They will have a lot of battles to fight their sophomore year. And I just know that they will be able to battle these storms together and have each other to lean on. It takes open communication in all areas of your life for a relationship to work, and they have that.

Oh no College
I love Ethan and Ashley and was excited to keep reading about their time at college. I kind of felt like this one took to long, I felt like it should have been a couple of days at college not just one. I feel horrible for Ashley and the jerk Jake should be dealt with. I dint know why her mom hasn't called a lawyer yet to sue the creep. I am still looking forward to the next even though just felt like this one focused to much on Jake's flyer.

** This series is pretty predictable in my opinion. Not to say I didn't enjoy some parts of this book but found myself skipping ahead either because of boredom or predictability. It's a good book if your looking for a romantic, fast and easy read **

This is starting to get old. Nothing much happens until the last chapter. Am skimming over most of the sex scenes now as I have read delicious as fuck and sexy as fuck more than enough times now. And what is up with smart Ashley. Never checks caller ID and doesn't block his number. Find me one teenager that doesn't check to see who is calling before answering. And hell she keeps the ex's number unblocked for what reason. She is pretty damn dumb for a supposed smart girl.

Very good series
I will give this book a five star because I love the series but I was disappointed in how it focused so much on the sex scenes. I like when there is more of a story about what is going on in the minds of Ashley and Ethen. I would like to see more drama with both characters.

Love Ashley and Ethan
Loved it. Love Ashley and Ethan..... I think Ethan loves Ashley enough to avoid all these girls but I think her visiting will help. Ashley has a tough time ahead of her with crappy Jake around.

Poor Ashley. She keeps getting busted for wanting to phone sex with Ethan. Ethan, Caleb and scarlet are trying to find a way to take down Jake's horrible website about Ashley. Great read.
