Jax
He's JAX.
He's a rockstar. He's a screw-up. He broke my heart.
He's my new stepbrother.
Jaxson Blue is rock royalty: the son of one of the biggest names on the planet. He was my first...everything.
Then he broke my heart in the most public way possible.
I never want to think about Jax again.
Too bad his music seems to follow me wherever I go.
Now my hard-living roadie of a father is marrying Jax's rock star mother and the four of us have to co-exist in the same house for two weeks. Jax is still the same sexy, arrogant jerk I fell in love with, and I'm too weak to resist him for long.
So I make a deal with myself.
It's only until the wedding.
It's only a fling.
It doesn't mean anything.
I'm not doing anything wrong...right?
NOTE: All characters in this standalone novel are over the age of 18 and are not blood-related.

Theresa Leigh is a romance author whose love of reading is so intense, she sometimes injures herself by walking around with her nose in a book. She loves writing stories that have you feeling every emotion... sometimes all on the same page.
After five years of writing romance under a penname, Theresa finally decided to own up to how she was spending her all time. Her mother now knows all about the kinds of books she writes. She reacted more positively to it than Theresa expected.
Theresa lives and writes in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of New York State (not the city) (that distinction is important to her), where she lives with her husband, twin sons and twin orange cats, Pumpkin and Jackie O’Lantern. When she's not writing or reading, she enjoys eating too much Thai food, walking around barefoot, and cooing baby talk at her cats.

Wow. So…ok…that happened. I’ve read a lot of stepbrother books…some good, some great…a lot of them bad. So it takes quite a bit (and a lot of talent) to impress me. Vivian Lux did that.
From page one, I was hooked on Jax and his Lil Bit. I honestly could not put it down. I had started another book before this, was pulled into this and kept reading Jax instead of the other book.
This book had a great storyline that’s missing from most stepbrother books. In the case of Jax and Liliana, they started out as friends when she went to live with her dad and on tour with Jax and his mom. They’d spent three years together as a quasi-family before finally getting together before things blew up for them, leading to a year apart. One thing you typically find in stepbrother books is that the parents aren’t yet married. That was the case here for most of the book. But there was more history between the family leading up to the wedding. But, there WAS a wedding.
I actually loved everything about this book. I have no complaints. I loved that while Jax was a jerk at times (it’s just the way these books go), he wasn’t really the bad guy. Yes, he was stupid at times, and he said/did things to tick off Liliana but the one who did the most (emotional) damage was actually Liliana. Ok, that’s not entirely true. There was damage done by both of them. But, Liliana realized that she mistreated Jax and that she was “the bad guy” (to use her words). And she set out to apologize and make amends to him.
I also loved that Jax spent most of the book wanting/working to get his Lil Bit back. That the song Liliana hated so much was actually a love song written for her and about how much Jax loved her.
Overall, I’m so beyond glad that I read this book. I seriously want to sit down and read it all over again.

This is just one of those books, that I think to myself: I'm getting too fucking old for this shit.
Thoughts on this?
Just...yeah, I got nothing.

1.5
Ni sé por dónde empezar. Va, ni sé si tengo que empezar. No sentí conexión con los protagonistas, no me simpatizaron. Pura histeria, la cual se podría haber resuelto desde el primer momento, eso hizo que no creyera una sola palabra de lo que la autora contaba. Exagera reacción, poco madura. Ni siquiera sentí un mensaje positivo...
¿Se puede desglosar un poco más? Sí, pero con SPOILER. Ni ganas de evitarlos.
Es un libro donde dos "adolescente", no llegan a los 20 años, se conectan por esas cosas del destino. PADRES. Ella, pierde a su papá, en un sentido figurativo. Su pasión por la música lo hizo abandonar a su familia. ¡Excelente tipo!. Su mamá, rehízo su vida con un pobre diablo... poca dedicación tenía para su hija. Eso hizo que aprendiera a ocultarse del resto de la humanidad. Pierde a su mamá, cuestión que la hace volver con su papá y la alocada "familia" del rock and all. La cual resulta ser parte también de la de Jax. Él, por su parte viene de una familia prodigio en el mundo de la música. Madre narcisista y adorada por el maldito mundo. Padre, Dioh sabrá. Un pibe que tiene sus inseguridades, por más que las quiera cubrir con su engreimiento(qué feo suena esa palabra)
Ellos van a conectar, y bla, bla, bla. Entre pito y flauta comparten una primera CABALGATA. Y bueno... después comienzan los malentendidos. Ella decide desaparecer, interponer esos infinitos kilométros de distancia. Es decir, cambiar de costa, ¿a qué? A escribir, esa era su pasión. Ahí vuelca todas las reacciones que le encantaría que él hubiera tenido. Tiene una compañera de piso que prácticamente apesta. El casamiento de su papá con la mamá de él la hará regresar . Sí, un año después vuelve. Y bueno, se imaginan toda la histeria. De ambas partes.
Para todo esto, él pegó un mega hit musical. Suena por todos lados. Letra que escribió después del desastre. Y claro, ella la escucha por doquier. Va, jamás la escuchó entera... y a partir de ahí la autora creo la historia. Van, vienen, van, vienen. ¡Cabalgan a pelo, y lo peor es ese discursito clichetero del "Estoy limpio, me hice los estudios ni bien me enteré que venías". #CualquiDeCualquiera (Está claro que ese año el no fue un puto monje tibetano. Se cabalgó toda groupie que se le tiraba encima). Hasta que resuelven el asunto, y decide hacerle .I. al mundo y hacer lo que dicta su corazón. (Ay, qué cursi).
La frutilla del postre, en lo que digamos podría ser considerado el epílogo, él le propone casamiento. Y lo peor que ni llega a los 20 años.
¿En qué joroca estaba pensando la autora?
Eso fue todo, besis.

I wanted to love this book... But it was a lil rough for me... The main characters clearly had feelings for each other but there was not much depth to their story.. Lily was a bit dramatic for no reason.. She had issues with Kax and NEVER talked to him about them she jus ran away and Jax wasn't open about his feelings so they butt heads... It was annoying at times.. Felt like the second book in a series where you already know the characters because of the first book.. If that makes sense... Repetitive words drive me crazy.. "Asshole" and "cocky" we're used a lot... It felt rushed and the end was really rushed.. I jus don't know.. I dunno.. Not my favorite..

Jax, Jax, Jax you are so damn cocky !! But that is what I loved about you. You know what you want and you don't stop at nothing to get it. I really enjoyed this book. It had a great story, wonderful H/H and the supporting were funny and made the story as well.
Lil Bit was the type of heroine I like, she was tough , and didn't take anything from anyone. Yet she had a vulnerably side that was appealing.
If you love second chance romances, and true love never fails this is the book for you!

This is my first book by this author and I loved it. I never wanted to put it down. Two of my favourite sub-genres in one Rockstars and Stepbrothers, what's not to love.
From the first page I was hooked on Jax and his Lil Bit. I honestly could not put it down. Jax and Liliana started out as friends when she went to live with her dad and on tour with Jax and his mom. I loved that while Jax was a jerk at times he wasn’t really the bad guy.
Jax and Liliana develop feelings for each when they are teenagers, until he broke her heart on T.V. He's rock royalty, and it just so happens that he has talent of his own.
I also loved that Jax spent most of the book wanting/working to get his Lil Bit back. That the song Liliana hated so much was actually a love song written for her and about how much Jax loved her.

Malos entendidos, tras malos entendidos.
Sinceramente hasta lástima me da con Jax, escribe una canción para disculparse y demostrarle a Liliana que la ama, y ella nunca escuchó la canción, siendo yo busco la letra para saber qué dice, la curiosidad no me dejaría dormir; el caso es que el problema principal fue lo que pasó luego de que estuvieran juntos y él fuera a una entrevista, pero sorpresa: NUNCA HABLARON SOBRE ELLO, ¿otro graaan malentendido o de verdad fue un cocky bastard? Necesitan resolver ese problema de comunicación por que qué estrés.
Ah, y quisiera escuchar la canción. Me imagino una voz como la de Rush Finlay de Rush too far de Abbi Glines.

They are young. Too young.
She lost her virginity to him. They were in love.
But, in a moment of wonder because of his new career as a rockstar, he makes an erroneous statement. Angry, she goes away.
One year later they will have to meet because her father and his mother are getting married and now he will be her stepbrother...
Awkward situation? Deff!!
But the worst is that his most famous music talks exactly about that moment of love which they lived. She feels outraged because that song plays at every turn on the radio. She feels humiliated.
Jax, the rockstar, are not sure why Lily, his Lil Bit, lives running away from him. This forced encounter - for two weeks they will have to live in the same house until their parents wedding day - they will have a chance to hate forever... or make it up.
But it would be awkward because they would be siblings. And worse, how would their parents react to knowing about their relationship?
The plot is interesting, but too fast.
The characters are cool, but not very deep.
Everything happens very fast.
If you're looking for a love story without deep dramas, this is your book.

JAX is the first book I have read by Vivian Lux, and boy did I LOVE it! Jax and Liliana develop feelings for each when they are teenagers, until he broke her heart on T.V. He's rock royalty, and it just so happens that he has talent of his own. Now Lil can't get away from him, because his first hit song, she believes he's making fun of her. When his mother gets engaged to her father, Lil and Jax are going to come face to face for the wedding. She finds that the feelings aren't gone, but what can she do about it now since he's going to be her stepbrother?
WOW! I couldn't turn the pages quickly enough with this story. The character development is great, with secondaries that had me rolling. A fast paced, sexy, and well written story line flows smoothly. The chemistry is tangible, leading to some seriously SMOKIN' panty melting goodness. Vivian Lux hooked me from the very beginning, and held my attention until I finished it in one sitting. Her spin on the stepbrother front is original and awesome, and I really need more of Jax and his Lil Bit! (hint hint) Great story and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Creo que es primera vez que leo una historia de hermanastros. Como que me dan repelús, pero tengo que admitir que no se sintió raro en ningún momento, en realidad fue divertida.
La historia es un poco cliché, pero se deja leer bastante fácil, alguna parte me parecieron tontas pero en su gran mayoría son divertidas. La protagonista es una idiota total a la que odié desde el primer momento. Es una completa inmadura ¬¬
Jax esta simpatico, medio infantil también aunque no al mismo grado de Liliana, completamente arrogante pero lindo. Me gustó. El resto de los personajes fueron medio nulos, el momento más destacado de los padres de ellos fue esa llamada que hizo que la tonta corriera detrás de Jax... porque ni en su boda brillaron.
En fin, fue una lectura entretenida aunque no repetiría la experiencia...

This is the first book that I have read from this author and I must say I loved it. Jax and Lily grew up around each other and eventually became involved until one night Jax being in show biz said something that made Lily run. A year later they are reunited for their parents wedding. The interaction between the two was enjoyable, they were either being snippy or they were having heart felt conversations. The sex scences were hot and believable. This was a very enjoyable read.

A great read. I was gifted a copy for a honest review. Let me start with I don't usually read books with young characters but this was good. It's a second chance love story. The characters are great. Jax is arrogant, cocky, yet sweet when it comes to Lilian. Lillian is young and quick to jump to conclusions or is she? I yelled, laughter and cried while reading this book.
I gave it 4 stars because I felt the ending was rushed. Would have liked to had more. But still a good read.
Happy reading.

September 26, 2020Not the best second chance romance I’ve read, but it kept me entertained and was the kind of book I wanted to read, easy and short. The chapters are very short, so I flew through them in no time.
If you don’t like cliché stories, I don’t think this book will be for you.

Doblemente enganchada con el simple hecho de que él sea un rockero y además su hermanastro.
Muy entretenido. Lo único negativo es que necesité un epílogo... soy una chica de epílogos >.<

I regret wasting my time reading this. She literally forgiven for cheating before he even begged her to forgive him.
June 11, 2018
Love it, the whole thing took place over 2 weeks and each chapter got more and more interesting. The writer put in that he has been with other women but after Liliana came back into Jax life there was no cheating and even if he thought about it his heart wouldn’t let him do it. Both Mc and the supporting characters kept the attention from start to finished and engaging the reader to feel the emotions.
Only a year from when they last saw each other but it was very heartbreaking for Liliana when her love one her best friend and fellow child of a rock star Jason publicly broken her heart by lying. Her father is the guitarist/roadie for Jax’s mom for 10 years, an absentee father most of her childhood now after a decade finally asks Jason’s mom to marry him. Now Lili has to face her past and harden her heart around the only man she gave her self to fully while being the daughter and best lady for her father. But she didn’t expect is the blue haired man she left behind and torments her with a song of the back day, to be wanting to get under her skin and back into her heart. Will she close her self off to his advances of will his hatred push her away for good???

This story was okay, I finished it but I didn’t love it. It was a little confusing and not very romantic. I guess I don’t like stories where the main characters are stupid and too young. Lily and Jax had a fall out at age 18 and she left to the east coast. She returns a year later still angry with him even though he wrote a hit song apologizing to her, his Lil Bit. His mother is marrying her father and is now turning into I can’t be with you because you’re my brother. So she heads to the east coast again and she’s packing her stuff to go on the road, just her and her depression over a situation that’s kind of laughable. The ending of this story just made me angry, she had to show up at his show and basically grovel. Not happy, actually debating if I should read the rest of the series.

Like the story
The thing that gets me is he never went to her to make things right. In fact there are no signs he really wanted anything to do with her while he has sex with everyone. Not till she went to the house do you see anything on his part. How can you tell someone they are it for them but share your body all over the place. I wouldn't have had anything to do with him because his actions show his feelings. He denied her before anyone when asked. Those are the flaws I feel in the story.

Absolutely the worst way the author could take that book. I'm sorry but i never in a million years can stomach the idea that Lilian, a smart girl who writes about romance on her free time, could even for a second think that after Jax publicly didn't knowledge her AND she walked in on him cheating, could Lil blame her self for Jax's misery.
I'm all for stupid romance tropes, hell i still love wattpad books from time to time but this... this was too much for me.
Very sad to see how an author turned this brilliant story of two childhood friends getting together into utter trash.

es una historia tierna que se lee muy rápido. Los personajes protagonistas me caian bien, estaban bien ambientados y actuaban acorde a su edad. En verdad no siento que fuera una historia taaaan de hermanastros pq se habian criado y empezado su relacion sin serlo, asi qe para mi jugaba un rol secundario.
Le doy más crédito por mostrar un lado más humano del mundo del rock and roll, que pese a la vida loca y desenfrenada, se forman lazos familiares invaluables

Ahh, young love. This was a pretty cute rockstar book! It was written well, and you'll likely fall in love with the mc's like I did. I went through a bit of emotions reading this, first it was awhhhh, then I was a bit frustrated, then I was hit with the awhhh again, then back to frustration hahaha it had me on my toes for sure. This was written in pov style so you really get a feel for how each character is feeling. Reccomend reading if you're into step-sibling or rockstar books.

I was hooked from the very first page.
Liliana and Jax fall for one another, but Jax breaks her heart. He breaks her heart and then a year later a song about the breakup is all over the airwaves.
Now she has to face him again because their parents are getting married.
Jax is super cocky, but getting the story from both of their prospective made it easy for me to forgive him of any transgressions.
The only problems that I had was (1) I was wishing they were a bit older than they are at least early 20s, but at the same time I understand that age really doesn't matter when you fall in love. Plus, it's not like these two had traditional upbringings. (2)They were being portrayed as having been through some things in their young lives, but the decisions hey made didn't reflect that. In one breath I am expected to believe that they are old enough to know what they want, and in another I am supposed to chalk up bad decisions to their age.
Overall though it was a good read. This was my first by this author, but I will definitely be reading more.

Bylo by nespravedlivy dat min jak 5 hvezd, protoze jsem zacala cist vecer v 8 a ve tri rano usinala s usmevem jak krasny to bylo. Zadny laciny sex sceny, ktery jsem posledni dobou preskakovala v knizkach. Strasne mile napsana knizka, coz zni divne ale naprosto to knihu vystihuje. Neni to vrcholny dilo ale na me to fungovalo a jsem rada, presne to jsem potrebovala.

Este libro lo tenía hace bastante tiempo en pendientes. Y lo leí ahora ya que no sabía que leer. Entonces me lo encuentro entre mis tantos libros electrónicos...
La verdad es que me gustó bastante. Aunque diría que no lo agregaría a mis favoritos. Aún así, me entretuvo y me gustó como la escritura de la autora. Y encontré que fue fácil y rápido de leer.
