Merciless
MERCILESS is a quick read, packed with steam.
What to expect:
♥ stepbrother
♥ age-gap
♥ forbidden
ALYSSA
I'm f*cked.
Broken down on the side of the road wasn’t how I pictured my first stint with independence, and calling my mother to let her know I already need help is completely off the table.
Throwing insult to injury, Mr. Tall Dark and F*ck Me has come to my rescue, strolling in like some Knight in shining armor.
Hudson Maxwell, with his chiselled jaw and striking grey eyes looks under the hood of my car like some sort of Greek God, sent to test my will.
His wicked mouth flirts with me, saying all the words any girl would want to hear. Especially me. He’s been my unattainable crush. The man I could never have.
But now? He doesn’t know who I am, fully grown and far from the little girl he last saw.
So as he continues his assault on my libido—unaffected by the rules that would keep us apart—I have to ask, do I stop this charade, or do I cave in and taste him just this once?

Why did no one tell me about this series? Dang !!!! This is my first book by this author and it will not be my last.That was good I need to know what happens to sassy little red and her older brother. This was insta love if I have ever seen it and I was hooked. This book had fire and desire. Our MCs are step-siblings but one of them does not know. Hudson Maxwell is built, sexy and he knows his cars 🚘 . He makes a proposition that he thinks is getting over. He doesn’t know that the actual Little Red is his baby sis all grown up. This was hot 🥵 , Taboo and panty dropping fun. Go get a copy right now and when you do sign me up for the rest of the brothers of Wrath security. Book 1 is called Acts of Atonement

I'm living for this prequel.
I've never read such a perfect short read.
I'm not a typical step-brother romance girl, but Eleanor has converted me with Merciless.
Ladies & Gentlemen we do not deserve Hudson. He is hwooooot as sin.
I cannot wait for Acts of Mercy now. I just need more of Alyssa's brass in my life.
Another Queen of Wrath added to the mix & she's going to cause so much trouble. I'm here for it!!!
If you haven't already read this series, start now with Acts of Atonement, meet the duo that started this addictive reads. Not only is it E's first ever book, you get the introduction to all the Men that make Wrath.
You don't want to miss out on William, Ren, Aiden & Titus. 😉

I wanted a quick read and this was certainly one. Just 41 pages!
I wasn’t sure how an author could write a story in so few pages but this author did just that.
It was hot and steamy and I loved the step sister/step brother relationship trope as well as age gap.
This is the first book I have read from Eleanor Aldrick not realising it was part of a series, although I think they must be standalone as there were no other characters involved and was hot, hot, hot! There is another book to follow on from this one which I can’t wait for as I need more Hudson and Alyssa in my life! He is the typical strong millionaire alpha and she is a teenager with a huge crush on the step brother she hasn’t seen in a few years.

This prequel has everything I want in a quick read.
Taboo.
Hot as hell older step brother with an 𝘐 𝘴𝘦𝘦 𝘪𝘵, 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘵, 𝘐 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘪𝘵, attitude.
A seductively sweet and dangerous young step sister with a kick ass and take names kinda attitude.
The angst in this story was well written which can be difficult for short story authors. Eleanor wrote it perfectly. There’s enough push that it doesn’t give off instalove vibes. But there’s enough pull that you’re not wanting to slap the characters.
Such a good read and the perfect intro to book five of Eleanor’s series, Men of WRATH.

This book is a prequel?! Holy shit, this is amazing. Hudson is everything you want and need. I'm here thinking about how long I have to wait for the continuation of this Series. Eleanor did an excellent job; if you don't yet read this series, you need to start right now; you will love all these Men's.
April 24, 2021
This prequel left me speechless, Eleanor took me by surprise with this absolutely perfect and warm reading.
I love a taboo and it could not fail to be seductive and merciless.
Hudson is a wet dream that every girl wants to have inside her panties, but it is also that forbidden fruit when it comes to Alyssa.
Her half brother is what she knows is off limits most when her world meets Hudson's by chance she finds herself willing to take a risk, even for a single taste of sin.
A short and wild ride with sensational chemistry that will make you ask for more ... leaving you excited for the next book in the series.

Merciless: A Stepbrother Romance by Eleanor Aldrick is a prequel to the full book by the same name. This book is number 5 in the Men of WRATH Series filled with alpha male standalone stories with strong females.
This little prequel has me hooked! I cannot wait for the book to be released and will definitely be purchasing a copy of it once it does. The forbidden relationship between step brother and step sister in this book was very steamy and the chemistry between the characters was off the charts. I am continuously wondering what will happen next. Can highly recommend this book having not even read the full thing yet. That is how good this prequel is.

Alyssa has had a crush on Hudson since they met, but things take a steamy turn when they meet again years later.
This was my first time reading something from this author and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was an extremely well-written short with enough backstory for us to become invested in the characters and enough heat to steam up the pages.
My only complaint is that I wish it were longer. I would have loved to see where their story took them.
I will definitely be putting this author on my list of new favorites.

Merciless is a prequel in the Men of Wrath series. However, it can be read as a standalone. It's an age gap, forbidden and step brother romance. This is my first read by Eleanor Aldrick, and holy, moly wow...! I have no words to say!!! I knew that this was a prequel, but wow, what an intro and build up to Acts of Mercy!! Also, I wasn't expecting very steamy scenes for a prequel! And I absolutely loved it!! I'm definitely planning to read the rest of the series and I cannot wait for Acts of Mercy to be released! A quick read that leaves you wanting to read more!

Little Red❤
I've been wanting to pick up Ms.Aldrick's books for quite some time now. As soon as I the synopsis for this read I had to have it in my life. I really enjoyed it!
The beginning of Alyssa and Hudson's journey was all kinds of blushworthy! I really liked the forbidden aspect. It was a quick read that I finished in one sitting and oh how I need more of these two!
Ms.Aldrick brought the heat with Merciless! I'm definitely counting down the days until Acts of Mercy releases! I can't wait to pick up the other Men of WRATH books as well! ❤

Loved this sexy little novella!
Alyssa and Hudson are hot hot hot, but they should not, not, not. This forbidden romance is about Step siblings with an age gap. It’s oh so wrong, and yet, oh so right.
In just a few short chapters, Alyssa and Hudson’s story was firing on all cylinders. The author didn’t waste a single page to build these two up, and their meet cute was on fire 🔥 .
This is a fun, quick read, and has definitely gotten me excited about the next book in the series, Act of Mercy.

Ok, so does Eleanor expect me to be fine after this? Like, this novella is such a striptease. It sets the tone and base that we will see in Acts of Mercy. Judging by the ending, we will get plenty of angst and steam. We have glimpsed Hudson before in all previous books and now we will finally get more of him. In this novella, we get to see a bit of his caring and possessive nature. It's hot as hell, you might need a cold shower afterward. My only complaint is it's too fucking short bitch. I read it in 15 minutes. I need more. Otherwise, it's perfect.
April 30, 2021
Alyssa is in love with Mr. Tall Dark and F*ck Me, a/k/a her stepbrother. Hudson is a man whore, the last single member of WRATH. She knows who he is - he doesn't recognize her. They cross "that line". Holy cow! This is the prequel to Hudson's story, coming in Acts of Mercy, the last book in the Men of WRATH series. And what a little teaser this is! The other books in the series have been incredible, and this promises to be even better.

This is my first read by this author, and I must say that I quite enjoyed the storyline and the characters. It is a prequel to the off limits romance between Alyssa and her stepbrother, Hudson. It is a promising steamy love story with drama, family dynamic, twists and turns to make it an interesting read. The emotions are frustrating and bittersweet. The chemistry between the main characters is combustible. A quick read.

This is the 3rd book I've read written by Eleanor Aldrick; I can’t wait to read more of her books. She has written a good short story.
Alyssa’s had a crush on Hudson for quite a while but because he’s her step-brother she knows nothing can ever happen between them. He hasn’t seen her since she was 14; now she headed to college and is suppose to stay with him but when her car breaks down he’s the one that stops to help her and doesn’t know that its her.

This is a quick, steamy read that leaves you craving more. Alyssa has one chance to grab everything she has ever wanted and that’s Hudson. She takes matters into her own hands but will she be able to survive the fallout? I loved this little novella and can’t wait to read the full length version. This chemistry between these two is combustible!! Highly recommend!

This story is more of a prelude to the full story coming out in Ms. Aldrick next book. This short was well written with a very steamy scene and I more than likely will read the book, but it is by no means a complete story in itself. This was my first time reading a story by Ms. Aldrick and I enjoyed her work.

Merciless: A Stepbrother Romance by Eleanor Aldrick. Short and steamy start to Alyssa and Hudson’s journey of forbidden but oh so hot romance. Even after reading this, I’m not sure if I would have told him who I was or went along to see just how much he measured up to the crush. I found this to be an enjoyable and steamy prequel with great character cast and would recommend to others. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

WOW ! This book was hot AF ! Girl this is a case of wet floor here. How can someone write such a short but so perfect story ! Eleanor Aldrick you did it again. 😊
At the moment I am still captivated by this story. I am on my little cloud with Hudson so leave me alone. 😊
Merciless is a quick read, stepbrother romance and so STEAMY !
I cannot wait to read more of Alyssa and Hudson together in book five of series Men of WRATH.

This is a short, but steamy prequel that is equal parts forbidden romance and guilty pleasure. It has just enough tension and suspense, in addition to the sexiness, that I need to read what happens next! Hudson is hot as sin, and I'm not one to shy away from an age gap (as long as it's legal).

Gawd this was everything I didn’t know I needed in a prequel!!! Hudson is hot as sin and lord help me if I didn’t fall in love with him! Then we have Alyssa yes just give me all of her! They have this fantastic push pull that leaves you begging for more and I can’t wait for Acts of Mercy!!! This baby right here was fire and I have a feeling AOM is going to be a panty dropper!!
April 29, 2021
Best way to describe this book is a total tease! A short intro into a story that is bound to be crazy! A step-sister that has grown and changed and the step brother that sounds like he enjoys.
I can;t wait for the next book in this series so I can find out if their heated passion will light their way to each other or if it will burn them to ashes.

The story was okay short story however that was known. Extremely unrealistic though and all over the place. The stepbrother has no idea who the girl is but is willing to sleep with her on the side of the highway. This will be better once the full story comes out.

I have already read this twice. I am so beyond read for Alyssa and Hudson's story. I just know that its will be even hotter. I think Alyssa is going to make it very hard for Hudson to stay away from her. If you haven't picked this up or skip prequels don't skip this one.
