Picture Perfect
Ever since Melanie's mom married Kurt's dad she's had the hots for her gorgeous, off-limits stepbrother. Knowing that Kurt feels the same way doesn't help her lust but through an unspoken agreement they ignore their forbidden feelings. Then Kurt drives her to a modeling shoot for an exercise book and winds up volunteering to model as her partner. What neither of them know is that the exercises in the book are all sexual--a modern Kama Sutra.
Melanie tries to ignore the sparks flying between her and Kurt, even when they have to get naked and pose for pictures that are both explicit and erotic. But how can she resist her sexy stepbrother? Will she and Kurt be able to keep from breaking the most forbidden taboo of all or will they give in to temptation in order to get every shot Picture Perfect?
Publisher's Note: While Kurt and Melanie have no blood ties and their relationship is fully consensual, some readers, particularly those with a history of sexual abuse or incest, may find this story disturbing. This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Exhibitionism, sex between stepsiblings, voyeurism.

I guess I’ve been having sex wrong because according to the Hero and heroine him being 6-7 inches in her is NOT them having sex.... 🤦♀️🤷♀️
“Surely letting him slide his cock all the way in my pussy and hold it there didn’t count as fucking....after all he wasn’t going to cum in me”

Oh wow that was HOT!
This is a short erotic story of step siblings who come together. *smirk* There is a slow build, well, as slow as you can get in a short erotic book. *another smirk* There are actual feelings between the two so it's not just a bunch of meaningless sex. The ending was short and cheesy, but the hotness of the previous 99% of the book more than made up for it. If you are looking for a short book to make your body burn in the best possible way, this one is for you.
""Lie on the bed and spread your legs for big brother," he growled."

Dirty, hot erotica....
There is also the forbidden element of the love/lust between a stepbrother and stepsister.
Not much of a story since it is a pretty short novel and it mainly focuses on the sex tension building between the two protagonists.
I had fun reading it, but my favourite books by the author are still the scifi Kindred tales.

Holy repetitive and ridiculous!
Firstly, ridiculous in that these two step siblings go to a photoshoot, they need to simulate sexual poses, then there needs to be a little touching, then a little kissing, then a little penetration. Pft. I am reading fiction, I get that, but the build up was corny. Period.
Then there is all this talk about shame and guilt after every pose. Give. It. A. Rest. It isn't unreasonable that these step-siblings would feel some unsavoury feelings about loving each other - but I don't think it is as taboo as they were making it out to be. They became step siblings later in life, and even if they hadn't, there is no blood relation. It's similar to those stories where a neighbour kid is taken in by the family, or one of the siblings good friends comes and lives with them for awhile. No blood relation.
There was no finess in the writing of this taboo story. That is what irked me. But there were a lot of funny names and descriptions of positions. I didn't realize that many of those positions had names, I thought they all sort of fell under the broad title of "modified" (modified missionary, modified doggy-style, etc).
Anderson usually does better than this.

Surprisingly... a good read. Very entertaining and perfect for a one-shot kind of story. It’s very short and to the point, jumping right into what the blurb said.
I admit, I was a little skeptical going into this book because many in the same genre often disappoint. They usually lack chemistry, no sexual tension, or just plain unrealistic to the point of cringe-iness. Even though the situation that happened in this book are a little far-fetched, it’s very well-written.
Despite that, there are some hiccups here and there. Obviously the characters are very shallow and two-dimensional, but I digress. It’s $2.99 so I guess that’s okay? You decide.
The step-brother, Kurt (couldn’t Evangeline use any other name? Kurt doesn’t sound very sexy to me), is very protective of Melanie. Honestly, borderline controlling and insanely possessive. I didn’t like him, but for the sake of this short story, I ignored the red flags that went up in my head since this wasn’t the kind of book that was to be taken seriously.
The sexual scenes are off the charts, though. Very hot, but honestly? Not worth to be paid $3 for. Search any similar plot on google and you’ll be directed to the nearest, free identical
I did roll my eyes more than a few times during Melanie’s and Kurt’s moral battle. It’s very ridiculous seeing how they kept pushing the boundaries and justified having him half inside her as “good for the pictures” and that they weren’t actually having sex. Um? Pretty sure if he’s 6 inches deep, that means you guys are fucking.
6/10 worth the read if you’re looking for something quick, hot, and doesn’t require a lot of thinking.

So this is smut, huh? Well, it did seem smutty, so there’s that. But is smut that engages the brain as well as other body parts even available? Because this sure ain’t it.

Total mixed feelings about this book. I'm listening to it on the Read Me Romance podcast and it is SUPER hot. But the photographer is so skeevey to me, I just can't listen anymore. She sounds like a sexual predator and it was giving me the creeps.

Finished this book in one sitting. I thought it was a quick sexy read. Between two step siblings. I think I'm beginning to get more and more into these "taboo" reads. No I don't have some secret fetish to bone a family member or something LOL!! But I guess this risque taboo reads are just fun to read about sometimes.
And I thought it was hilarious how they downplay what they were doing...like this part in particular:
"Mel?" he asked again. "Do you want me to?"
"I..I guess its not really, uh, fucking since your not all the way in me." I whispered back."
"So I guess it's okay."
Who do they think their fooling? LOL!!
Fun read though. Enjoyed it!

I don't usually read erotica books (to much sex ( always big, thick cocks and wet, thight pussies, btw,where are books about penis in normal size??) , no true love or emotions, but this one was good. A little bit dirty (hot and heavy kama sutra photo sesion) which was great for me :)
January 28, 2013
WOW after reading so much erotic and smut stories for the longest time, this left me
incredibly hot and bothered once again like it feels brand-new and like it has never happened to me ever before
, it's extremely sizzling hot to the nth power that left me reeling and needing and wanting more...much more...damn insatiably more...yeesh lol
Maybe it has to do with the uniquebothersome concept and the slightly taboo stuff going on between the
step-siblings
which makes it arousing to the next level compared to the others, I don't know maybe it's just me but I love the danger and excitement..it's extremely titillating...okay probably it's safe to say that I also possess a little
dirty mind
and I'm shameless to admit that I enjoyed it very much....now I'm actually fanning myself, it's getting
HOT IN HERE
isn't it? :D
oohhh GIVE ME! GIVE ME! don't leave anything, I WANT ALL OF IT!
Maybe it has to do with the unique

Holy moly 🔥😳🔥😳
The build up of the sexual tension is INSANE. This was crazy hot. People weren't kidding about this story. That being said, the hero and heroine's excuses made me laugh SO much lol. All for the picture, amiright? 😂
Is there a plot? Nope.
Are the modeling shenanigans realistic? Fuck no.
Is the dialogue repetitive? Yes.
Is it bananas? Yes.
But I. Don't. Care. I enjoyed it 😂💁🏽♀️

UPDATE Review!!! so i heard this was going to be on readmeromance podcast.. so i thought maybe it be better in audio.. sadly nope.. one narrator and the girl was eh.. still didn't enjoy the book.. the rmr cover is cool.. still a one star..
This was a fast read.. and well.. taboo step-siblings no blood related.. now idk how i feel about this.. its not even the taboo part.. it was how these two acted..
Them having sex he would penetrate her or a few inchs and that's them having sex.. when the photographer wanted intimate shots for a sexual exercise book..

Fairly steamy but not convincing in the slightest - wasn't phased by the slight tabooness of the brother/sister relationship at all. Very frustrated that anyone could possibly think that what they did in the photo shoot "didn't really constitute sex" - was this story about 14 year olds? The characters were idiots and the way it ended was terrible, but I won't spoil.
I've read a lot of erotica novellas and they usually manage to get a fair punch in the short number of pages but this one didn't do it for me.

It definitely sizzles, but it's got a weak-as-a-newborn-kitten plot! I was cracking up at the directions from Lisa, the photographer, and the brother waffling for about a minute before giving in, "well, okay, if I must..." about a hundred different times. Even more ridiculous was the lame-ass seduction from step-sis! Anyway, Moby Dick this was not! *wink*

if you're looking for a one handed read, this might be for you.
"I just couldn’t believe I was about to do this — couldn’t believe I was about to get into erotic sexual positions with my hot, off-limits stepbrother."
Mel's scheduled to go to a shady warehouse for an exercise book photoshoot but her overprotective step-brother decides to follow along to make sure nothing untoward happens to her. They're roped into modeling together for the book when they find out that that exercise book is actually a kama sutra guide. The clothes come off, the two get close, and things get hot and heavy, but they're not actually fucking if it's just the tip right?
Literally cackling. This was ridiculous but enjoyable and did what it set out to do. Just give the euphemisms a bit of grace and you're good to go.

Oh yeah... PICTURE PERFECT was a hot, quick read!
Melanie's mom and Kurt's dad are married, so that means that as step-siblings, they are off limits to each other, right? WRONG! They have resisted the temptation for years, but eventually, the chemistry brewing between them reaches a boiling point and they can fight it no longer.
So, what happens when step brother and sister are thrown together in a compromising situation? A whole lotta hotness is what happens!

Given that this was a short story I'm almost embarrassed to say I almost DNF. Basically, it's a novella based around Melanie and her overly protective stepbrother, Kurt. Melanie is an aspiring model and is getting ready for a go see and Kurt wants to know what it's for as he doesn't like the part of town it's in. Kurt and Mel have each had a thing for each other for the past 5 years but have kept it under wraps, buried. Kurt insists on going to the go see with her and Lo and Behold, she gets the job and the photographer is out of her male model so Kurt steps in so Mel can book it. The shoot turns out to be an 'exercise' book based on sexual positions and so Kurt and Mel end up naked taking the photographer's direction and getting more and more explicit and sexual with each other. What killed me about this story was both the H and h kept on saying almost every time they moved an inch, 'it's ok because it's just for a better picture' - if I wasn't so bored I would go back just to count how many times that thought is repeated over and over and over. It's so completely not credible. And then there's Kurt, he comes off as kind of dumb ass during the whole shoot or at least to me and Mel's character felt superficial.
I guess this story is a YMMV story based on whether you just want the salaciousness and a quick jump into taboo or whether you like your characters and their stories to be more than surface deep and be believable enough to suspend you suspension of disbelief.
Total fail for me.

The last Evangeline Anderson book I read was Str8te Boys - and it's the only book that's ever made me get up off my couch and turn down the A/C...so I could slap myself for taking so long to try another one of her books, because this story was no different and wicked hot! The fact they Kurt and Melanie were non-blood related step siblings didn't bother me at all. In fact, it worked so well to ratchet up the sexual tension laced through the story. My only complaint is that I wanted the photoshoot to conclude sooner so the h/h could be alone. I got my wish, but not before lots of panicky page turning on my part. I could go for re-reading this again soon :)

I can not tell you how much I loved this. I am absolutely blown away!!
I'm not quite sure what I was expecting from this because the blurb alone would not have interested me much, but being a BIG fan of Evangeline Anderson I knew I wouldn't be let down.
This is one of the sexiest stories I have EVER read and the reason I am blown away is because there is nothing kinky or naughty about this book (apart from the obvious if you view it that way) but the sexual tension between these two is totally off the scale. I was absolutely riveted.
As always with this author, I loved the two characters and was dying for them to seal the deal, as it were. I LOVED IT!

I am such an Evangeline Anderson fangirl, it's a little silly. You know... just like her stories are a little silly. This one is no different, in fact I think it's the silliest one I've read so far! But YO!! It's sooooo sexy!!
Very short read about step-siblings that find themselves in a precarious situation. They're wicked hot for each other, and who knew all it took was to get them in front of a camera together?!?
You giggle, roll your eyes, and have to change your panties. Like, whoa y'all.

Wow,Picture Perfect was seriously the hottest sexy book I've read-so far. I like the fact they don't just jump each others bones but slowly build up the sexual tension so I felt I was going to burst. Well done Mrs.Anderson!

Warning: NSFW - Not Safe For listening at Work, lol.
First let me say as an erotic book, it serves its purpose well. So if you’re into erotic reads, you should definitely give this one a listen.
For me however...
Well, aren’t read me romances supposed to be new original works? This is the 2nd one I’ve noticed that is not. This is an older book, originally published in 2014 and doesn’t even have the read me romance branded cover.
Okay, back to this book.
The plot is overly ridiculous. How they end up doing the shoot is dumb. I can’t see a guy going to school to be a lawyer is going to blindly sign a contract. Since they hadn’t been paid right away, that contact could not be enforced without “consideration” despite what the photographer argued.
How they went on and on about how forbidden what they were doing was dumb? From what I gathered from the story, he was about 17-18 when their parents married. She’s two years younger. They didn’t grow up step brother and sister. They aren’t blood related. There is no forbidden element here.
However, I will admit like others despite the above, the author nailed the hotness in this story. Like it was probably the hottest book I’ve read/listened to in a very long time.
The narrator was really good too.

Picture perfect. finally i understood the meaning behind it. it was a quick read and pretty steamy but i thought it could be written into a full length book! nevertheless, the forbidden feels were nice (not blood related siblings btw) and i loved how kurt sought for heroine's permission before doing anything intimate.. but on the other hand, it does get pretty funny considering how they agreed on other than that, its not a bad read!

*Work out listening*
wow how hot was this? It amazed me that I could keep running while listening to this. It masked how much I was blushing probably.
I'm glad they finally took the plunge, even though I wanted to see how it goes with their parents.
