Nathan is the average strait-laced married suburban man who abides by the laws & probably pays his taxes early. His brother, Jace, is the dark bad boy-type about to begin house arrest (@ Nathan’s). But this proximity is exploding tension bc Jace is privy to Nathan’s dirty secret.

Cheating - not between MCs
Nathan cheats on wife w/ Jace.

HFN - MCs continue to sneak around together. Nathan DOES NOT leave wife. He continues to be intimate & play the doting husband. Every night he slips away w/ Jace however.

I would’ve loved him to divorce wife & run off w/ Jace but since it’s an erotic read I’m not too miffed by the ending!

Wanted: Big Bad Brother: A Billionaire Bad Boy Stepbrother Romance is a super sexy read. This is a very naughty stepbrother romance. It is full of drama and passion. An intense storyline about two people, their taboo attraction, the explosion of heat when they give in to each other and the high cost of it all becoming public knowledge. I'm posting a voluntary review after reading an advance copy of this book.

He Wants her To have His Baby!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Keagan has loved Dana all his life - ever since he saw her in elementary school. But before he could even ask her out on a date they were foiled by their parents marrying each other and so she was now his stepsister  and, therefore, taboo!   They went there separate ways and he became a multi billionaire social media mogul as a result of an app bigger than Facebook whilst Dana became a designer.  However, sue to the lull in the economy she has been made redundant and she goes to Keagan for help. He had deliberately stayed away from her because of their family status but now that she's back in his life, he cannot resist her any longer. Natalie Knight and Vivien Vale have written this fantastic story for us. For those of you who have read other books penned by them you know that you're in for a treat.  For the rest of you newbies, hang on to your seat as you're going to 'witness' lust and passion that develops into everlasting LOVE.  Keagan is gorgeous and, even without the wealth, he can get any woman that he wants but Dana is the only one he has ever truly wanted and when she comes to him for help he realises she has to be his and he wants her to have his baby!  What happens when the media reveals their taboo secret  to the world and whatever will their parents say?  This is a great story that was fast paced as it was so beautifully written and I really was rooting for Keagan and Dana to have their HEA.   The epilogue really made this book extra special for me.  I encourage you to grab a copy of this book and indulge in this hot and steamy romance!

DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I enjoyed this story about a young couple who fell in love and had to decide if staying together was something they wanted or if it was just a fling. Keagan was in love with Dana since they were in school and when his father married her mother, his dreams of being with Dana ended. Keagan still loved Dana but he knew they could never be together now. Years later, they were grown and starting careers of their own, Keagan started a social media platform and was very successful. Dana was an interior decorator and she was having a hard time after she lost her job. Dana was going to lose her apartment and her mother suggested asking Keagan for help. Keagan offered help to Dana and wanted her to come live with him until she got back on her feet. Keagan also decided it was time to let Dana know he was interested in her romantically. Dana always had feelings for Keagan and when he kissed her, she decided to let herself enjoy her time with him. They wanted to keep things quiet until they knew if it was serious because Keagan was very well known with his company and they were step siblings and it could hurt his image. Keagan didn't care what anyone thought and just wanted to be with Dana. They had a great connection and really did love each other. This story gave both sides of their relationship and was well told. They knew it would a taboo subject to some and wanted the best for each other. Good one.

Keagan has had a crush on Dana since elementary school. Unfortunately, before he got to make his move on her she'd become his step sister. Now that she's grown that crush has turned into full blown lust. But, being with your step is taboo!

Keagan created a social media platform that took off. It turned out to be bigger than Facebook. He's now a billionaire and the media loves him. He can have any woman he wants but he only wants one....Dana.

Dana is a designer who finds herself getting fired from her job. The market is so saturated with designers that she's having a hard time finding another job and is about to get evicted from her home. Her mom suggest she go to Keagan for help and she does. He's such a great brother, he asks her to move in with him until she can find a job and get her own place.

The problem with her moving in is she's now under his roof. They've each had crushes on each other for a long time....can they live together without acting on their feelings? Is Keagan ready for the media should be act on this attraction?

I enjoyed this story! It was sweet, yet very hot! I was captivated from the beginning and was cheering the main characters on the whole way!!

Review Rating: 4.0 out of 5 stars

Enjoyable sexy read!

I received an Advance Reader Copy for Wanted: Big Bad Brother written by Natalie Knight & Vivian Vale and voluntarily reviewed this book. It took more than a decade because, unfortunately, that’s how life worked out, but Dana has been in Keagan’s sights since elementary school...and now they are step siblings. When Dana is suddenly unable to keep even a roof over her own head, Keagan steps in like a knight in shining armor and offers her a place to stay with him. But seeing and being with her again in his own space now that Dana is all deliciously grown up, makes him desperate to cross the taboo line, but they are in agreement because she apparently feels the same way. They can handle their new tenuous relationship, but is the world and the social media ready or even willing to accept their being together, never mind their own parents? A lot is at stake, especially since it is the reason for Keagan’s success? Some great twisty bits to balance to the heat, making it a more interesting storyline.

Very well written short story with great storyline and plot. Full of expanse and hotness. I like that the characters are relatable and likeable. It has a nice pace to it. A taboo theme that is well described and handled. But it was very predictable and could have had a bit more twists in it.

It is written in dual POV which gives the reader much more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters. Great romance with a twist and very enjoyable read. The epilogue from Dana was very welcome and gave the story more to it and it finished better of than without it. There are laughs, drama, passion, emotions, hot scenes and lots of chemistry in this amazing story.

I like the main characters and how they develop. The story flows nicely and it is very captivating from first to last chapter. The author has delivered a story that is worth the read!

Keagan and Dana had a crush on each other when they were in middle school but they were too young and didn't don anything about it. Then their parents got together and they became step-siblings. Keagan excels in his life becoming wealthy whereas Dana struggled. When things get really bad for Dana she turns to Keagan for help. Keagan tells her she can stay with him. Being together drew them closer and before long they were lovers. Soon their relationship became the talk because of their step-sibling status but what will their parents think about it? Can Keagan's business survive the backlash from their relationship?

This was a great story about a supposedly forbidden relationship. The chemistry between Keagan and Dana is off the charts. This book will keep you entertained until the end. If you haven't read anything by these authors you'll be hooked after reading this book.

Keagan has a crush on Dana in school but before he could make his move their parents met, fell in love and got married making them step siblings. Keagan still has a crush on Dana even though he knows its wrong and he can't have her.
Dana an interior designer needs a job.

She is in trouble and the only one to help is her step brother Keagan whom she also has a crush on. What to do technically they aren't blood siblings. Is it still wrong. To make matters worst Dana is being evicted and Keagan invites her to stay with him. Will thee two give into temptation. We know they will and they love scenes are combustible. These two have been wanting each other for years.

Will they make it work? Will it be weird for their parents?
I actually liked this step brother step sister romance and I would read it again.

Keagan had a crush on Dana since they were kids, but when Keegan's dad meets Dana's mom, it is the worst thing that could happen to Keegan's crush on Dana. He has longed after her for longer than he cares to remember. Even though they are not blood related, can he test the waters to see if Dana feels the same about him? What will his dad or her mom think? Can he afford to go public if she agrees with his company being such a success?

Dana has secretly had a crush on Keegan since school, but once their parents got married, she suppressed her feelings for him. But when she is down on her luck and needs him, will he be there for her in every way possible? Will the taboo stigma get to her?

I really enjoyed this story, it has everything from a little scandal, love, lust, romance, hot steamy sex scenes, and a HEA. I recommend this story!! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is a great story of to kids who had a crush on each other since they were young and before they could do anything about it their parents got married so they thought they had to stuff their feelings away to become a family. When they are older their feelings are still there and when Dana needs a place to stay Keagan offers to let her stay with him. They let their lust go and the sex is so HOT. Dana's mom is understanding of their relationship but Keagan's dad isn't. Dana is afraid of what going public with their relationship will do to his reputation. Will they be able to face the public scrutiny together or will it be too much and tear them apart? Will they both admit to themselves and each other that they love each other or will they just assume that they do and not talk about it?

Keagen always loved Dana from the very first moment he saw her. At that young age though their was nothing they could do, except be friends. Over the years his feelings never changed. Before he could act on this desires though their parents got married. He had to put his feelings and desires on the back burner, he knew they would never go anywhere. When Dana has some financial trouble and has to move in with him, he breaks down. One thing leads to another and they have some hot passionate lovemaking. They still can't forget that their parents are married though, so they aren't sure how to handle that part of their new flourishing relationship. The way the characters interact and the plot of the whole story was wonderful. I especially love the taboo part of the story. I voluntarily read an Advanced Review Copy of this book.

Wasn't my thing to read!

I know some people like this kind of story.....sex driven not plot driven but I was not happy I wasted my time on it!! I always wish there was a warning notice in the description saying this!! Basically, the characters were lacking in demention and they didn't seem to fit the age group they were supposed to be in the story so it kept throwing me off.....I mean these characters came off much younger then 28 and 29!!! It doesn't bother some but for me I couldn't reconcile it!! Lastly, the sex scenes just we're not for my taste....I mean I was sore just reading it....but again I get that some people like that type of sex and so I hope that particular type finds their way to this story!!

Oh wow Keagan, you are a man on a mission and your mission is having Dana for keeps. Well he has wanted her since 5th grade. Only problem is.... Keagan’s dad Chris and Dana’s mum Susan get married so that makes any relationship between them is taboo. Well not really but they do worry about it.
Keagan is just obsessed with Dana in every way. As I said, a man on a mission.
A really good story of Keagan and Dana trying to fight their feelings for one another and socially trying to deal with the media and paparazzi as Keagan is quite wealthy. A hot story that will leave you breathless but at least their love never gave up. Brilliant x

4.5 stars This is an excellent contemporary romance. Keagan has worked hard and his new app has taken off so now he's wealthy. He's been broken hearted in the past but has always had someone he loved but felt was unattainable. Dana had a crush on Keagan when he first came to elementary school but their parents met and married. Taboo or not you can't help who you love but acting on it has repercussions. Ms. Knight did an excellent job developing the main and supporting characters. We get mostly individual POV's but the author makes it work. Not is all easy for the characters which is real life with romance. I received a complementary copy of this book via Booksprout and chose to write a review. I look forward to reading future books by this author.

Dana and Keagan met while they were in middle school and developed crushes on one another. Before they could acknowledge their feelings, they became step siblings and a relationship was ‘off limits’.
Fast forward to now when they are both adults. Keagan is very successful where as Dana loses her job and needs help. Who’s there to help her? Keagan. He lets her move in with him expect all the feelings from childhood come rushing back.
Great chemistry between the characters and great storyline.

This was a sexy and sultry book of taboo love from Vivien Vale and Natalie Knight. I enjoyed the story and the sex was amazing and often. The only downside of this book, if you can even call it that, is that is was more sex than story. But again, it was amazing sex :). Great read. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

This story is written in the dual POV of Keagan and Dana, step brother/sister. The story takes place when they were both in their late 20’s and love between step brother/sister was taboo. Dana’s mom accepted the couple, whereas Keagan’s dad did not. The story line was well written and easy to follow with lots of sex, laughs, emotions and passion. The main characters are definitely very believable. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for some hot sex and HEA. I received this book as an ARC and voluntarily reviewed this book. This is my honest opinion of this book.

This book is supposed to be a taboo romance type of book, and honestly, I’m not seeing anything at all wrong with step siblings getting together. You know, They share absolutely NO blood, but I guess there’s always going to be those people who look down on it. The characters in this book are relatable and likable. I thought the “taboo romance” in this book was handled very well. However, it was predictable. Very predictable. I did enjoy it though.

I was given a free ARC of this book via BookSprout in exchange for my honest opinion.

Story ends at 15% of the book

2.5 Stars
H:3 / h: 2.5
Heat: 5 explicit and descriptive

If you're looking for non-stop hot, steamy, explicit and descriptive this is the book for you.
It's a short novella, it finish at 15% of the book, then you get other short stories and few upcoming books and preview. I didn't read the other stories.
Wanted: Big Bad Brother... is an okay, it just have too many plot holes and the heroine it's a bit clueless of pretty much everything that makes you want to slap her few times. Anyways, sexy scenes were hot and every other page.

Keagan and Dana are step siblings. They had crushes before their parents married but gave up on anything happening because of it. Keagan is a successful businessman. Dana is a struggling interior designer and needs somewhere to live until she gets on her feet. She moves in with Keagan and the sparks fly between them. A steamy, sexy romance and good read.

Dana is down on her luck, unemployed and facing eviction. Keagan has loved Dana all his life, she became forbidden when his father married her mother. He helps her out by offering her a place to stay, and they become romantically involved. With Reagan being the CEO of a successful company their relationship would be a disaster for him.

First loves

A sticky sweet story about kids who had crises on each other before this parents met, fell in love and got married. It details their hope at being together. What happens when they become adults and realize their attraction is strong? Can they overcome the step factor? A cute story full of a ton of heated scenes.

True love lives forever

Two children meet in Jr high but before they have a chance to express their feelings, their parents meet and get married. Is this the end of the young lovers? This great story is full of hot sex, intrigue, social taboos, acceptance, love and a HEA. I loved reading this erotically written love story and volunteered to review it.

OMG... this was BAD!!!

There was so many misspelled words, and the timeline was also wrong. There was too many mistakes to count! it drove me nuts to read this book!!! The only reason I finished was because of my new years resolution to start and finish all the books I started reading even though I did not like it!!!
UGH... this is one of the books I would have put on my DNF shelf for sure!

Keagan and Dana crushed on each other in grade school before their parents met and wed. Years later, they take a chance and act on their childhood feelings. Steamy as any Vixens' tale but not great storytelling A bunch of sex dreams (some over multiple chapters) with a little dialogue thrown in. Editing could have been much better also.
