Things escalated. That's what I'm going to say happened with our stepbrother with benefits relationship. It escalated.

Rule #18 – We have to be open with one another. We have to tell each other how we really feel.


I'm not sure you can fully grasp the gravity of the situation I'm in right now. I think I've unleashed a monster inside myself. I also think I kind of love it. I completely trust my ability to be responsible almost always, except when it comes to Ethan. When it comes to Ethan, well...

I don't think we really have to think about how irresponsible I can be when it comes to Ethan. I just ditched class for the day, bought a plane ticket randomly to fly out and see him, and now...

I don't want to talk about it. Things escalated. That's what I'm going to say happened. They escalated.

It was only for a week, except it's not anymore. Dating my stepbrother? Sure, let's just see how that goes. Completely ignoring all my responsibilities, doing the opposite of what I know I should be doing, and seeking vengeance against my ex-boyfriend because he can't stop being a complete jerk?

I'm the worst good girl ever, aren't I? I used to be so good at it, too.

Ugh.

I'm just kind of hoping for the best now.

when I started reading this series it held my interest. but season 3 has been difficult to read when it keeps adding story line and useless dialogue. I keep reading because I want to know how they get back at Ashley's ex. but after reading this book I am not sure I can continue because I don't see an end to the unnecessary fluff. I honestly feel like this should have ended about 8 books ago.

This is so awful I can't even read one more word. And that's really disappointing, I really wanted to finish this series and I was hoping to read the last three books in a couple of days. I had actually enjoyed all the previous ones but this one was so stupid, filled with pointless chatter and the characters all seem so childish and dumb that I just quit reading and I really hating leaving things unfinished.
I'm extremely disappointed with this, for real. I don't know if it was the actual story that just got to the point where there was nothing solid to write after so many books or maybe it was me who changed and just didn't enjoy it anymore. But I do remember the previous books being better, maybe not all 17 of them but in the beginning things were interesting and cute and now, it just sex scene after sex scene and every time they are apart they just make bad choices and act dumb and seriously, some of their thoughts were just so stupid and bland I wanted to throw my phone at a wall. And I only got to like 25% of the book, maybe not even that.

So six books later and it still isn't the end of their first week at school. Not impressed with the speed at which this is progressing. Happy to read the author say there was just one more to tie up the story. I really couldn't read through another six to find out what they accomplish with the big revenge. The constant inner thoughts is nothing more then fillet. First we get her thinking then his on the same subject. Time to wrap this series up.

I'm actually dreading the end of the series ☹️ I know some of the other characters will be getting their books but I can't help but want to know what happens to Ethan and Ashley in the future? Maybe we'll find out in their last book hopefully 😊

The Rag Tag Gang of Many Personalities Is Assembled

Like any group of people, they each have to decide where they fit. We see each of them, and their personalities continue to develop. We also find them working towards the good of the group. It will be interesting to see this complicated, 2 part plan, come together.

Started out ok. I like a little taboo stories, but the more I read, the more I kept having to force myself to read. I tried to finish, but I just couldn't. Too long and drawn out for me. I'm sure plenty of people loved it. But it was not for me.

Fun - In an Almost Ridiculous Way.

There are times during this book where conversations and narrative take entirely Irrelevant tangents. Incessant waffling that will make your eyes roll. At the same time there are some really entertaining scenes and a few good laughs .

I skipped 5 chapters and did not miss anything. Some of the dialogue is useless and painful for me to finish the book.

The constant “you’re weird” and the sticking the tongue out got repetitive and boring.

Mile High Club!

You just have to join when you have the opportunity. Their membership definitely sounds better than others I've heard. A private plane makes for a better entrance.

Mia, Mia, Mia, I just want to get this out of my chest.. I can not, I repeat, CAN NOT believe you just did this! Want the freaking hell? How could you stop the story there? (well I guess it would be even worse if it was later, so... yeah I don't know what to think anymore...)



I also have to say this, WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH CALEB AND SCARLET?!

Now, about Ash and Ethan, what can I say.. I honestly love them! I laughed so much (with both of them). I was only page 1 and I was already laughing out loud! They're hilarious, cute together, I love their love for each other!
I like your ideias for the next book, Mia, I really do!


I'm honestly dying to read the next book!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I'm NOT dying for this series to end, I'm actually sad about it...

But, over all, what did I think of this book? Well, I think you can understand from review that this basically sums up what I felt!
Keep up the good work Mia :D

Now i haven't had a lot of great things to say about these installments. But I felt it right to give a more thorough review on this one.
The story follows Ethan and Ashley who are stepbrother/sister. Whilst on summer break Ashley dares Ethan to have sex with her. If he refuses he has to give up football. Well Ethan Colton never loses so he takes that bet and runs with it.
And so starts the Stepbrother with benefits. But it was only supposed to last a week. That week turned into all summer break that's what 2 months?
The sex was pretty hot but the characters very immature considering the parents called them adults I expected a little more maturity. (I loved the parents btw.)
Anyway this benefits arrangement dragged on for 18 books with an average 100 pages per book. Take out the bits at the beginning and the end and its more like 90 pages.
I always found myself feeling like I was inside either Ashley's or Ethan's head. The weird thing was no matter that I was finding parts annoying I wanted to keep reading. I wanted to know how it all turned out.
I was ready to call it quits after this book but oh no Mia just had to throw Jake back in there and the plan for revenge for what he did. Now I'm going to have to get the next book.
There are some short stories at the end of books 16, 17 and 18 involving Scarlet and Caleb but I found those totally confusing, annoying and extremely immature so i didn't even bother reading the part in book 18.

Another Fun filled Sexy AF Episode!

I enjoyed this one even more than the last! These two couples are just too crazy! And yes, I'm including Caleb and Scarlet in there as a couple, whether they want to admit it or not! How can they not?! Ethan and Ashley continue to crack me up and although I'm really looking forward to the next book, I'm super sad that their story is ending. I want more! And as I said in my last review, I Really want to be reading more about Caleb and Scarlet! I just see so much story left to be written about them all, so it's hard to hear that it's ending. And it was mentioned that Brittney, the sassy cheerleader is getting her own series? Well, I hope the other new couple I mentioned above, gets one first! Thanks again for your sexy spicy AF books! (As Ethan would say!)

Long Story

I have really liked this story line and can not wait for book 19. I hope Ashley can show everyone how stupid Jake is to have messed with her. I would like to see Ashley to change colleges so they can be together. Maybe get married too
I think the books have a bit to much sex. I hope you can continue Caleb and Scarlet's story and when they realize they feel different feelings now than they had as kids growing up. Scarlet should let Caleb know the movie idea was just a way to get closer to him.

So good.

I really enjoyed this episode... like all the others. Lol. This one was much more steamy though! Woo. I love Ethan. He is so darn funny. I literally laugh out loud when I read what goes on in that boys head! And Caleb and Scarlet story at the end is getting really good too! Didn't know Caleb had such a dirty mind. Haha. Can't wait for the next one!

Love these characters !

The way this book brings out the hilarious parts of relationships & college just keeps getting better & better ! Not sure how I feel about this series coming to an end but I'm glad that even if Ethan & Ashley's story comes to an end we will hear about them as we get deeper into Scarlet & Caleb & possibly even Brittany
