Stepbrother #2
Craved
Part 2 to Tempted: A Stepbrother Romance I wanted something that I knew I shouldn't have. I didn't give a f''k about the consequences until it was too late. The one person who brought light in to my life left, taking a piece of me with her. I have tried to move on, but how can you move on from something your blood, body and soul craves. She was my temptation, I will make sure that I am hers. I haven't seen Aidan since I left without saying goodbye. I was expecting him to chase after me, phone me every two seconds begging me to come back, but none of that happened. I am now getting ready for the next chapter in my life-college. I want a new start. I want to forget the dark blue eyes that haunts my dreams. How am I meant to move on if the one person who has the power to break me all over again ends up in the same college as me? He is determined to break through my walls I have built up, make my body scream for him. Why do I find it hard to say no? My body screams for me to say yes, but am I willing to listen? New adult contemporary romance with mature content. Recommended for 17+ due to mature language and adult situations.

OMG JL Ostle has done it again!!!!!! She blew my mind with the second book in this series and i loved every page!!!! I loved the characters cause I felt she gave each and everyone there own voice and you felt apart of there life's!!!! I loved the storyline in this book and that it still kept you on the edge of your seat up till the end!!! The emotions you feel in this book are so good cause my heart broke for both Kacey and Aidan cause you could feel how much they truly loved each other. The sex scenes are soooooo HOT!!!! Kacey and Aidan love each other so deeply and with everything that tries to tear them apart it only made there love even stronger. I'm a huge fan of JL Ostle's work and this book has just proven again why I love her books so much. Thank you for a great ending to this series!!!

Omg!!! I love Aiden. He's such a hottie. Even though Kacey tries her best to forget him ....... It doesn't work. Kacey is in college and runs into him. Things happen but someone wants them apart. This book is HOT. Loved every single minute of it. Didn't want it to end.

Craved is the second book in the Stepbrother Romance Series. You need to read the first book Tempted, so you can understand how Aidan and Kacey story began.
Kacey big expressive brown eyes, long thick brown hair is on her way to UCLA with her best friends. Her plan is to go to college and to forget about the pain, Aidan, her stepbrother caused her heart in the first book, Tempted. She is looking for a fresh start away from him.
Aidan has deep blue eye, and he is know for not being a relationship type of person. He is on way to UCLA with his best friend, Nick trying to get over the pain of losing Kacey, his stepsister. What he never expected was to be given another opportunity to fix his relationship with Kacey. When he finds out she is going to the same school as him.
Will Kacey be able to forgive Aidan for sleeping
with someone else? Can Aidan & Kacey get past being related to one another?
Read Craved to find out what happens to Aidan & Kacey and all their friends. It's a great story and you won't be disappointed that you took time out of your day to read it.
I was asked by J.L.Ostle to read her first book A Simple Change and I've read every book since then. Her books have romance, chemistry, steamy sex scenes, mystery and suspense.
I look forward to reading many more books of J.L.Ostle as she continues to write them.

After the unfortunate events of Tempted, Craved moves on to life after high school. Aidan & Kacey move on with their lives at college. The last thing either of them expect is to end up in the same place.
Can they just be friends or is the chemistry just too much?
Craved is a hot story that moves on flawlessly from Tempted with the characters that we already know & love.
I had the honour of Beta reading this for JL Ostle, love this author & will always recommended her books.

This is book 2 in this series. Adian has fallen head over heels for his stepsister, Kacey. But being hurt deeply by him she left her father's house and hasn't seen Adian for six months. That is until she sets off for college. The same college that he will be attending.
I absolutely love not only the main characters but their friends as well. I'm hoping that some of them will get their own story. Can't wait for book 3.

Wow where do I start, this book follows on from Tempted. Where we see Kacey and Aidan start college not knowing they have chosen the same one. As soon as they see one another the spark is still there, through out the book you are taken on a emotional journey of love, loss, upset and lots of hot sex. I've read all J L Ostle's books and they keep getting better and drawing me in wanting more.

J.L. Ostle has done it again! At the end of Tempted, book 1, I wanted to throw my kindle at the wall. In Craved, book 2, I wanted to punch Aiden over and over at times! At one point I swore I was going to hate him from then on but he proved himself and became someone I loved! I can't wait for more in the future by this author.

Read the 2 books in one day. Loved It but I am looking for the story of Nick en Viv. The chemistry was going too the roof. So i hope you will be writing it soon.

Drama and sex
Im by a fan of so much of the back and forth. Kacie is the definition of doormat and Aiden’s choices are often immature.
The intimate scenes and the connection they share are what kept me reading.

very good
I couldn’t put this book down. I enjoyed Kacey and Aidan’s story. It was full of angst and two people who couldn’t keep themselves away from each other. Fire, lots of steam but flowed well with the storyline.

For the couple who went through so much shit. I'm the 2 books you get to see them grow into who they are supposed to be. And they go through so much just to get there

This book had so much potential but I feel like in the first half of the book it was just lacking. It was basically about a girl that had went to visit her dad and fell for her step brother. He liked her she liked him. Communication got crossed she left and they finally met back up with each other when they went to college. They finally caved for each other and gave a relationship a chance towards the middle of the book. And then at about 65% it started to get interesting. With black mail, parents finding out, skanky girls. I just felt like there could have been so much more but it just fizzled.

I loved how this story just picked right up where Tempted left off. Aiden and Kacey have no idea what is going to happen when they run into each other months later. What happens when you think you are done with someone, someone that was never yours to begin with? This book will have you cheering and yelling from page one until the end! Super hot and laugh out loud moments!! Great job J.L. Ostle!
