This serial is getting better and better with every new installment. In addition to it being a light, hot story, it was really funny and made me smile a lot. It was also more emotional comparing to the first two, no longer only about sex but feelings were involved too.
And this one was definitely the hottest one. The shower sex scene will have your panties twisted.
Emma and Jai are spending pre wedding family time at Jai's father's lake house. While the new family is bonding and getting to know each other, MCs are also bonding but in much more intimate way. Emma is very stubborn at the beginning and has a problem with them having sex and soon becoming step siblings and to be honest her complaining became a bit repetitive. When she finally gives in and agrees to continue their fun until the wedding day, there is a lot of hot stuff going on. But sexual attraction is not the only thing they have, they start to like each other and later, even more than that.
I really liked Jai, I forgot to mention in my previous reviews that he is from London and has this wonderful British accent. But accent aside, he was smart, funny and definitely knew how to pleasure his woman. I liked that when Emma initially set him aside and he had an occasion to go at it with other chicks, he didn't. I also liked the fact that when he realized it wasn't just sex anymore, he wasn't afraid to say it and ask for more.

"I've broken plenty of girls' hearts over the years because I wasn't interested in being with them for anything other than sex. Never had it happen to myself, though. Until now, anyway."In my review of the 2nd part I said there were no cliffhangers, well I rushed a little bit because we have one here. Not a horrible one, but still just a warning if you don't like them and would rather wait for the whole series to come out.

I love forbidden love and while I am leery of the step sibling books, my inner serial whore won out and I had to read this one. I started this series last night with the intention of reading the first book and going to bed, hours later I finished the series. This third installment is probably my favorite.
The story has gradually unfolded and Emma and Jai have realized their situation and decided to make the best of it. I loved Jai, he was fun, easy going and honest. He didn’t play games and I really just loved that he owned who he was. Emma was a little more frustrating. I wanted her to be laid back about the situation, but I admit that completely goes against her character.
So far this story has been super hot, I love the sneaky around and forbidden moments. That is my favorite part of forbidden love, the built in angst and fear of getting caught. I really enjoyed seeing the feelings begin to develop more in this installment, it was the perfect time for more heart and had me so excited to turn the page.

JAI..JAI.. I just want to reach inside the book and hug and comfort you.
I’m honestly tired of all the “no, we can’t, our parents are getting married” argument . Really it's getting a bit old and infuriating! I see where she is coming from but I do hate her Hot and cold demeanour toward Jai and the way she's leading him on.
But I'm too invested to drop this now. I just want to see how this ends.

Step F*@k is a debut novel by Scarlett Ward which is divided in four segments set to be release separately.
Emma has been in a slump ever since her now ex-boyfriend cheated on her. But her best friend isn’t about to let her girly parts shrivel up or get spider webs due to lack of use. After setting up an online dating profile for Emma, she finds her a good candidate to hook up with. Who would have guessed her one night stand would shortly become her stepbrother?
Loath to be in L.A. to attend his father’s wedding, jai goes online to find a companion for a night. Unknowingly contacting a first time online dater that exceeds all of his expectations and leaves him wanting more.
Step F*@k is classified as a romance but I wish it would have been categorized under erotica in which case I wouldn’t have requested the ARC and would be in the position to rate it poorly.
In the first installment we’re introduced to Jai and Emma, the hero and heroine, and Emma’s best friend Megan. There’s all sorts of humor with these three and while Jai and Emma certainly have a hot night together, the nature of their meeting and setup doesn’t allow the reader to fully connect with them.
I could understand this, since it’s only the introduction and it did leave me curious as to what would be next. Overall, the first segment is a short and entertaining read.
The following segments start where the previous leaves off. In the second installment, Emma walks away from the best sex she’s ever had with a bitter taste and then soon discovers that the sexy stranger she only knows intimately is also set to be her stepbrother in just a few short days when their parents get married.
Even though she clears the air regarding her assumptions she’s still adamant to pursue anything further with Jai because of their soon to be kinship, which is truly a silly technicality. But Emma views having a relationship with Jai as incest, that is, until the moment their parent get married, not before. Thus starting and endless and irksome back and forth mood swings which not only infuriated Jai at one point, it also plummeted my rating.
Le sigh. I really don’t like giving bad reviews. But this was unavoidable.
The writing was novice but that’s usually ok for me in a debut novel. I’ll only take off half a star for that because I’m sure that putting out a book is no easy task. Besides the irritating, immature heroine, even though the hero didn’t annoy me, he didn’t win me over either. The plot drama was flimsy, but what really killed it for me was that it is marketed as a romance and even as an erotic romance here was zero of it, but copious amounts of gratuitous sex.

**** 4 miraculous stars ****
Well, shit...
I'm just really sad now. Sad for these two characters, sad because my cat hates me, sad because there's no more custard in the fridge, but mostly, I'm sad that this series is almost finished.
The characters are still such a delight and the books just become funnier and funnier one after another.
"The weight is perfect. The shape of it is perfect. If this vibrator were a car, it would be an Audi.
Vorsprung Durch Technik, motherfucker."
I'm developing a serious crush on Jai, but then who wouldn't love a guy who describes sex with you as 'miraclous'? In this book it almost feels as if he's more invested in the relationship than Emma is. His POV and how he's battling through his feelings, both for Emma and towards his Dad, is really touching. I love his cheekiness too.
In this volume, Emma and Jai continue their back and forth and have come to a sort of agreement but with battling guilt and all the other things that stand in their way good feelings never seem to last with these two.
The ending? Well... just...

Ok, so while I’m enjoying this series, I’m also tired of all the “no, we can’t, our parents are getting married” arguments. It happened, it keeps happening, you guys can’t stay away from each other…stop the games.
I’m actually starting to feel bad for Jai because she keeps jerking him around. I’m so unsure of how they can have a HEA with her still firmly in the “we can’t be together”, “it’s wrong” and “it’s just a physical attraction” phase.
On to book 4 to find out how it ends!

OK, three parts down ... one to go. BUT ... my balloon of enjoyment has lost a lot of air and is slowly deflating to almost nothing ....
I'm still going to wait until I've finished ALL four parts of the story to review style and content, but I think I need to point out that Step F*#k: Part Three did nothing for me. Not sure if the build up of the first two parts has anything to do with it, and my expectations were maybe too high, but nothing actually happens here except a lot of whining and repetition of things we've already WAY too much of ...
I still stand by my previews statement ... as a whole, the story is sexy and fun and witty. There's just a little hiccup in this installment LOL and I'm sure Jai and Emma are gonna bring back the WOW in Step F*#K: Part Four!!

This is actually a series of 4 short novellas. I'm not sure why it was done that way but whatever lol - After reading book 1 you will be begging for book 2. (I read this as a series, one book after the other)
Book 1 = 5/5 ..... Leaves you with one heck of a cliffhanger
Book 2 = 4/5
Book 3 = 4/5
Book 4 = 4/5
The writing style is simple, direct and not overly fancy with big words and crappy comparisons. It's smooth and easy to read. Leaves you feeling like you float through the story.
"Hi mom, congratulations on your wedding day, my date is a sociopath I met online."
Witty, sarcastic and funny

Step F*@K Part Three will hit you in the gut with it's angst, it's what sold me. I loved the push and pull, cat and mouse game, BUT Emma and her constant thoughts, and throwing in Jai 's face about how wrong what they were doing was a bit overwhelming for me. I mean we have Jai... this beautifully handsome, SINGLE, lascivious being who wants ONLY her in more ways than one, and she is still over there worried about them becoming stepsiblings and how they need to stop because it's so, very wrong.
Now, am I being a bit harsh on Emma? YES! I am, but only because Jai is freaking perfection. And for once the man is laying it all out there, and the woman is running scared. Add in all the pleasure he can and does give her over and over, and I am over here like ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW?!!
Then it hits me.
Emma is younger than Jai. Her age shows more in this addition than any other.
Did the mentioning of the forbidden on numerous occasions take away from the story for me? At times, yes. But I still felt SOMETHING! I still laughed, and when I hit the last page of this short story, I was still invested!
Step F*@k Part Three is a fast paced, emotionally charged addition to Scarlett Ward's stepbrother serial!

In part 3, I got a bit frustrated with Emma and her attitude toward her and Jai being together. Beside the fact that she keeps flip-flopping, being a step-sibling-especially an adult one-shouldn’t have anything to do with it. But the two of them keep steaming things up anyway, giving you plenty to keep your attention…and keep you around for part 4.
For a short serial like this, all four parts pack a good punch, keep you engaged and excited for each part, and give you interesting-if at some times frustrating-characters. Each part can be read quickly-I finished all four in one evening. Even though it’s a quick read, it gives you a full story, and anyone who loves step-romances will really enjoy it. Overall rating for the complete serial…4 stars!

Debut Release of the new serial romance by Scarlett Ward is going to appeal to readers that love the forbidden romance. I had the pleasure of receiving ARC copies of all four installments. I was able to read these installments back to back without interruption. This kind of story is very hard to review in each installment, therefore, I am going to give my overall thoughts of the serial as a whole and then lightly break down each installment.
Emma is getting over a bad relationship where she caught her long time boyfriend cheating. She has trust issues and is gun shy about getting back into the dating world. After spending six months single, her roommate encourages her to join an online dating site. That is where she hooks up with Jai.
One wild night of passion leads to more than an awkward morning after. It ends with a viscous bang.
The two will meet up again when they attend their parents pre wedding dinner. This situation goes from awkward to heated in the upcoming wedding celebrations. They can't keep their hands off of each other. They both fight, misunderstand the other's intentions, and struggle to figure out how to fit in their new family dynamics.
Each installment ends on a light cliffhanger.
I think this serial should of been one novel. The cliffhangers were not enough to keep the reader dying for more. I found flaws in the family relationships and dynamics that just did not connect leading characters and secondary characters. There was not enough of a build up of sexual tension to validate the romance between the leading characters. It was more of a sex fest in my opinion.
Further more the character development was weak. It was very hard to connect with the characters and understand their drive.
Some may say that it is impossible to develop more when the story is delivered in novella length installments. I say no it is not because I have read so many of these type of serials that leave me aching for more.
I really had high hopes for this serial. Sadly it did not do it for me as a reader.
**************
Part 1- 3 Stars
Part one covers the meeting between Emma and Jai. It covers their one night stand and disastrous morning after.
This was a good introduction that left me intrigued and curious about what happens next.
Part 2 - 2 Stars
The leading characters, Emma and Jai , meet up once again at their parents pre wedding dinner. They begin hackling each other but at the same time can't keep their hands off one another.
The reader also gets an introduction to the secondary characters in the story. We meet the family members. I can honestly say I really struggled with the family dynamics that were going on. It felt more like these two were with acquaintances rather than their parents. It was very odd.
Part 3 - 2 Stars
This installment takes the family to the lake house. They have a few days before the wedding to bond before the other guests arrive.
What happens in this installment is like two children in the sandbox fighting over the same toy. These two bicker and irritate the crap out of each other. They still can't keep their hands off each other. I found these two spent more time sneaking around having sex. I never felt the chemistry between the two. I also never had a grasp on who they were as individuals as well as a couple. Their POV focused more on the sexual relationship rather than the mental relationship.
Once the wedding takes place all hell breaks loose between the two. Assumptions and misunderstandings force Emma to disappear. That disappearance was down right weird and out of the blue.

---Full Review for all 4 books---
This book was ok. I didn’t have trouble finishing, but I didn’t feel like I would have missed anything if I’d never read it. It was pretty typical and expected, nothing new in the taboo/step sibling scenario. Although, I give kudos for the steamy scenes, my temperature was definitely elevated!
***Light spoilers from here on***
I liked Jai a lot, especially toward the end when he recognized the potential for more in their relationship and didn’t fight it. His dirty talk was hot as hell. He had the sexy, alpha thing going for him, which is always a plus in my book. However, he fell a little flat. I wanted more personality from him. He frustrated me when he kept telling Emma he didn’t care about the step thing, instead of specifically pointing out that they aren’t related other than emphasizing the “step” part of their relationship. When he doesn’t directly call her out on the incest comment (he glazes over it at one point with a comment about their kids) I rolled my eyes and thought, maybe this could all be cleared up if he would actually respond to her precise complaints, rather than to just continually say he doesn’t care.
Emma actually went downhill for me. I liked her less and less. Her attitude when she found out they were going to be step siblings was completely ludicrous. I could see being apprehensive over what people would think, but the author doesn’t even bring that into the equation until the very end. It comes out of nowhere as the explanation for her actions, but doesn’t have anything to do with her comments up until then. She spends the majority of the book saying that being together is incest, immoral, and wrong. If that were the case, it would be illegal. Give me a break. Incest? They aren’t actually related. Duh. And, why exactly is it immoral and wrong? I wanted to smack her and tell her to grow up. Her tendency to jump to conclusions and not ask for an explanation was ridiculous. Again, another indication of her low maturity level (very low). I kept thinking she was in the wrong book, she should be in a YA, high school setting.
I really hate when a guy claims to love a woman and then goes out and sleeps with another the next day to “get over her.” Not to mention that we are supposed to believe that he kept looking for her (sort of), desperate to find her, but trying to get over her with sleeping with other women at the same time…? How does that make sense? It took all of the romantic out of his declaration.
Emma isn’t any better, once she leaves. Having sex with someone else doesn’t seem like a solution to getting over someone else, it’s just lie you tell yourself, that you’ve moved on.
The secondary characters were no surprise, particularly the out-going, slightly slutty, roommate, they were just very typical.
I don’t usually harp on books about the state of editing, everybody misses things here and there (I’m sure there are plenty of issues with editing in this review. Lol). I don’t care about commas, extra quotations, blah, blah, blah, but there were missing words all over the place, it was completely distracting.
I give it two stars because it had potential, there were so many times when I felt like the author was on to something and then it didn’t go anywhere. It certainly wasn’t a DNF, but I wouldn’t recommend it.

Review also from parts 1,2 & 4
*Note* I read the four parts of the serial back-to-back so I'm going to write a joint review covering the four separate instalments (this is so that I won't spoil any of the reveals or what happens where).
As the introduction to the series part one works well by introducing Emma, her hilarious bestie Megan and the handsome stranger online date Jai. Emma is trying to move on from a bad breakup when her friend introduces her to online dating. She meets Jai who is supposed to be a short term, no strings romance, until he really isn't.
If the first part is the introduction, then the second part is what hooked me. I definitely felt like the series got better as it developed. After a few unwelcome discoveries and misunderstandings, Emma and Jai are in for a big surprise. (This is in the blurb so it's not a spoiler) They discover their parents are getting married and that they'll be step-siblings - cue lots of confusion and embarrassment.
The good thing about the serial is that although Scarlett Ward does raise more questions in the different instalments, she does answer some along the way which keep me interested. As you can probably tell from the title and blurb, this is an adult series with lots of sexy time!
With every new instalment we get to know more about Emma and Jai. There are some really funny moments and I found the third part the most entertaining. A lot of things go awry and Emma's torn between saying no to Jai, and being really invested in discovering more about his life. As a Brit I obviously wasn't drawn to Jai's accent like Emma was but I did appreciate some of his other attributes ;)
As a four part serial Step F#@k is short and sweet. It has enough action and drama (outside of the bedroom) to pack a punch. I laughed a lot, although I did find myself wanting to shake some sense into Emma as the story progressed.
I was really hopeful that Emma could move on from her trust issues and that her and Jai could find their own HEA! It is worth noting that there is a cliffy or two along the way.
I'm not usually a big fan of serials because I'm too impatient to wait for the next instalment but I did enjoy it here. I've read several serials where one book is simply spread into MANY parts to sell more copies/make more money but I didn't feel like this was the case here and I actually liked the serial element (admittedly I did read them all together).
Part one rating: 3
Overall series rating: 4 Stars.
I received a review copy.
*Note* I read the four parts of the serial back-to-back so I'm going to write a joint review covering the four separate instalments (this is so that I won't spoil any of the reveals or what happens where).
As the introduction to the series part one works well by introducing Emma, her hilarious bestie Megan and the handsome stranger online date Jai. Emma is trying to move on from a bad breakup when her friend introduces her to online dating. She meets Jai who is supposed to be a short term, no strings romance, until he really isn't.
If the first part is the introduction, then the second part is what hooked me. I definitely felt like the series got better as it developed. After a few unwelcome discoveries and misunderstandings, Emma and Jai are in for a big surprise.

~*~ARC given for a honest review~*~
ATTN This review is for all 4 books in the series..
First off let me start by saying I really enjoyed these books.. and Thank you for the opportunity to read and review these.
In this series we have Emma and Jai.
Emma is going to college for Architecture however her real passion and love is Art. She lives with her BFF and Roomie Megan..
Jai lives in London with and runs his own business.. He was born in LA but moved with his mother to London after his parents divorced.
Emma is trying to get over a breakup from 6 mo ago along with dealing with her mother’s upcoming wedding.. She comes home from class with a armload of groceries one evening only to find her BFF has taken it upon herself to “set her up on a dating website” at first Emma is not having any of it.. but after a few glasses of wine she decides to go for it.. she chats with “sexystranger” and decides to meet up at the hotel he is staying at.. After a AMAZING night of HOT SEX Emma notices something and she runs..
Fast Forward to the family dinner.. insert JAI (sexystranger).. her new/soon to be Step Brother..
Dun Dun Dun
There is quite a bit that happens.. the night of the wedding Emma walks in on Jai in a very compromising position.. Looks are not always what they seem.. She refuses to listen.. and she runs again.. This time she runs and does not tell anyone where she is going aside from Megan.. Jai is desperate in trying to find her..
I didn’t have to many issues with this book.. my main hook up was Emma.. She was wishy washy.. one min she wanted Jai.. then in the next breath she was like oh this is soooo wrong we cannot do this.. then the next.. welp she is back at it..
The other thing was… it just ended.. I was hoping for maybe a little more closure.. Jai does eventually wear Megan down.. and she tells him where she is at.. I was kind of hoping for a little more HEA at the end.. but maybe we will be gifted with a 5th and final book for them.. Maybe tie up/answer some of those questions. Do there family’s ever find out.? How will they take it?
But I still gave it a firm 4 – 4.5 stars… as this was a very good/sexy/quick reads…

Step F*@k by Scarlett Ward is the third book in her new serial, Step F*@k.
***WARNING: This review will contain spoilers for the previous book/s in this series. Do NOT continue reading if you do NOT enjoy spoilers! You have been warned!***
The basic premise of the story is this...
Online dating site. Girl meets boy. Girl and boy have hot drunken sex. Girl and boy have misunderstanding. Girl and boy meet again and realize their parents are getting married to EACH OTHER! and their private parts just did what last night? Ewwww. nah, it was still hot! Girl and boy have to spend the next couple of weeks in close proximity at the family lakehouse.
Book three opens on the bathroom floor of the lakehouse with Jai and Emma's limbs entangled after a wild night of counter-sex. No, that isn't a war-maneuver, they had sex on the counter! Emma is back to denying their attraction and being determined to never let it happen again. Jai doesn't see the harm. The hell with what people think. They did NOT grow up together. They met BEFORE they were aware of their connection. If they bump privates it is perfectly okay with him.
Emma's back-and-forth attitude on their relationship is wearing thin on Jai's patience. They have a strong connection but she is too blinded by his father and her mother's upcoming nuptials to let anything develop. He never expected feelings to develop but they have and he knows that she feels the same, if only she could get past the fact they will be step-siblings soon.

Combined Review
In The first instalment we meet Emma, a young college student who is still recovering from the betrayal of her last boyfriend when her best friend and flat mate signs her up for an online dating account.
While looking at her profile she is messaged by "sexy stranger" who invites her to his hotel room to meet.
Deciding to throw caution to the wind Emma heads to the hotel with her best friend, Megan, being dragged Along in the event he is a psychopath.
After a few drinks in the bar Jai and Emma proceed to his room for the main event of the evening.
As oft happens with these serials we get a small taste of some hot and steamy sex before the conclusion of part one. So I guess I better jump straight into part 2 so I don't develop a case of blue clit Winking face
Ok so part 2 kicked off the morning after and for a second I had hope we were going to get a big dose of steamy sex but sadly a stupid miscommunication cut it off before it started. And our lovers part.
But only to be reunited at their parents rehearsal dinner with the discovery of their future step sibling relationship.
Needless to say there's a bit more to the story that I will leave you to discover on your own since it once again ended in a steamy sex scene and I need to read part 3 to see how it plays out.
The third instalment is the perfect example of why I love these serials. Loads of super steamy sex, a minimum amount of angst and drama and did I mention loads of steamy sex? Perfect. Now off to the fourth to see how the angst plays out and whether or not we get our hea.
Sadly the fourth instalment just didn't work for me at all. After another stupid misunderstanding followed by juvenile behaviour Emma and Jai are seperate for a large part only to reunite and end the story in a rush without really tying up any of the loose ends. I do need to stress that it wasn't necessarily a issue with the story but more that it just didn't work for my personal taste and I am very disappointed not to get what I was hoping for from this series.

LISA'S REVIEW
4 STARS
I truly enjoyed this book especially because it was a bit different than I might've expected. It was refreshing to read a story that was very hot and yet quite entertaining. I enjoyed the plot quite a bit, my only disappointment was that I could've read more if it was available.
The author created a couple that had very steamy chemistry from the very beginning and that definitely made me very eager to continue reading and finding myself wide awake until I reached the end.
I do recommend this book to read for many reasons - the 2 most important:
- the sex scenes were extremely inventive at times yet always super hot/shiver-worthy and bc of that, you may find yourself wanting....needing immediate attention.
- the story also contained a plot that was also humorous at times which gave the book a nice balance and also help develop the characters more esp. because it is a such a quick read.
Well Done Scarlett Ward!
AMY E'S REVIEW
4 STARS
What a really great book! I loved both Emma and Jai they were both so fun and relatable. The secondary characters were well developed and added a lot to the storyline. I loved how Emma thought and worked through her issues until her life was what she wanted it to be. This was a light, easy, engaging, summer read.

Ok…
So this book went from incredibly hot to incredibly not.
Emma is taking this step brother thing way to far. All her back and forth is giving me whiplash. It’s starting to get to me.
I keep reading her reasoning as to why she thinks they can’t be together and they are so weak!
They are not blood related at all. So why keep saying it’s immoral or wrong or that its incest!
I felt Jai put himself out there. At the end of this book. He really thought Emma would change her mind about them.
They have this connection. I can even feel it when they are together. It’s so hot and explosives.
But… a person can only take so much before they break.
And I felt Emma with all her back and forth ruined it and broke Jai’s heart. By pretending not to care.
This book had me kind of upset. I’m hoping book four will have me seeing Emma in different light.
These books just abruptly end. You have to read the next book to continue the story. I would suggest you wait until the whole series is out before you read this series. If you don’t like to wait to find out what happens.

How is it possible to have so many hot scenes in a book and it still leave me laughing out loud? This is a serial that spans over 4 books but it was still a fairly quick read for me. I read it in about 2 hours but I do read pretty fast. I love the way this book starts out, the middle and the ending. There aren’t many books that I can honestly say that about. Every time I came to the end of one of the books, I was going right back for the next installment of the series. There are so many little things I liked in this book but the author’s ability to actually make the story have tension and be funny and sweet all at the same time is my favorite.
Jai and Emma hook up through an online dating site and then find out that their parents are getting married when they go for a dinner party the next day. Emma is having a really hard time with the whole situation but Jai just does not give a flip. It’s funny watching him chase her though out the books.
Highly recommend. Go get it when it releases. You will not regret it.

What would u do if you had 1 night of intense pleasure?
Something you have never felt before?
Only to find out it can't happen again?
It can't last or can it?
What would you do if the best night of your life was with your stepbrother?
Emma and Jai's worlds collide by fate, chance and pot luck.
Emma's friend hooks her up on an online dating site and she meets him.
After a night of hot intense and very pleasurable sex things take a turn a miss communication, misinterpretation. She thinks it's over.....
There world's collide again at their parents wedding.
Can the title of step brother and sister keep them apart or is there passion to intense?
These were good quick read they didn't take us long. Great writing straight to the point no pissing around and that was great I'm not sure if we like the whole stepbrother stepsister thing maybe we are being a bit stereo type with that but each to their own we aren't judgmental on how people choose to live.
Well done on a good quick read!

Step F#ck is a 4 part series where we follow Emma, who is having a dry spell. Her boyfriend is long gone and she is kinda lonely. Luckily she has a BFF who is a little off her rocker and sets Emma up for a dating website. It is more like she is looking for Emma to have a one night stand to break her of her own bad habits.
Not even a few hours later, Emma meets up with someone who emailed her within seconds of logging on. She does ant know what to do, but again her crazy BFF pushes her to go to the hotel where her email er is staying. Emma is not usually likes this, but she is kinda at her a breaking point.
Her "date " is Jai. He is hot, British, and everything she has been missing in her life. He makes her see everything she has been missing between the sheets. He is everything she needs to break out of her rut and be out there. Jai is a blessing in disguises.
The couple have a roller coaster of a relationship. There is many up and downs... hence the title!
If you are a fan of step brother romances... you will love this one!

*ARC REVIEW FROM ABIBLIOPHOBIA ANONYMOUS BOOK REVIEWS BLOG*
Emma and Jai have only a few short day's before they're officially step siblings. Being stuck with each other at the lake house, isn't helping thing's.
Emma is back and forth with her morals, but she finally has a plane. Her and Jai can keep doing what their doing up until their parent's marry... if thing's were only that simple.
“I’ve broken plenty of girls’ hearts over the years because I wasn’t interested in being with them for anything other than sex. Never had it happen to myself, though. Until now, anyway.”- Jai
With each instalment it just gets better. Book 3 is super sex. We get way more Emma and Jai time in it. Emma is driving me nuts with the back and forth. Man up! She's so hot and cold, and i hate it. It makes me not like her. Jai, I feel ba for him. I feel like Emma is leading him on, because she doesn't know what she wants.
On to the next book!

The aftermath of this not-a-couple's incredibly passionate time together is full of remorse and naughty taunting. Emma is angry and fighting her attraction with all her strength, but she's also sad when her tryst with Jai comes to an abrupt stop.
I had such a great time reading this part. It made me smile, squirm, sigh. The dialogues are perky, but I'd have preferred some more description of actions or feelings in between their lines sometimes. Also, I am a bit flabbergasted that they suddenly forget to use protection.
Anyway, everything was so gripping. The phone calls with Jai's mum, his original gift to Emma, their drop-dead hot bedroom scenes, also the family celebration. Though what truly caught me and tossed my heart about a little was that awesome confrontation between Emma and Jai at the end.

I was given a copy in exchange for an honest review.
In the third book Emma tells Jai they can continue with the affair until the wedding. She doesn't count on the emotions they have developed, only she is in denial. It's steamy and hot enough to burn your kindle. We are left with a huge cliffhanger and I can;t wait to dive into book four to see what she is going to do. I love this series and the author has a great writing style.

The counties in this part. This one is crazy. It had me on the edge of my sit. Emma and Jia have this chemistry and attraction that they can't fight.
The whole story in told in dual POVs of Jia and Emma. So we get to see that their relationship is becoming more than sex for both of them. Emma has more of an issues about them having a relationship after their parents get married.

The whole story in told in dual POVs of Jia and Emma. So we get to see that their relationship is becoming more than sex for both of them. Emma has more of an issues about them having a relationship after their parents get married.

4.5 Crazy Ass Stars!!!!
*This will be my review for all installments as I read all in one sitting.*
There's something about those forbidden subjects that draw me in. This series definitely did that. Each book was a short quick read that left you wanting more so you had no choice but to start the next installment. I found the story to be quite funny and it definitely had those panty melting moments. I do wish, though, there was a little more in ways of an epilogue to see where their relationship takes them. The series as a whole is a must read!

Okay Just when you think that maybe this will book will have Emma and Jai making the decision you know is is the right one to make, and Bam! You get a shocker from left field! Scarlet grabs even more in this book because with Jai's decision everything has to fall into place for him right? Yeah your gonna have to read it. But I will tell you this I am totally on his side. The heat whether romantic or otherwise is so intense it just jumps right out of the page, right at you. This one is hotter than the last 2!
