Meet Jai in this sexy stepbrother
romance!
SWIPE LEFT.
That's
all I did. A few too many glasses of wine with my best friend and the bitch
convinced me to go on one of those dating websites.
A
one-night stand.
A booty
call.
And you
know what? It.was.amazing.
I spent
all night in a sexy stranger's arms, hot and sweaty, until it was time to sneak
out and do the walk of shame back to my apartment.
I never
thought I'd see sexy stranger again, and I was totally fine with that - until
my mother's wedding.
She's
getting remarried, see. And sexy stranger just happens to be my new
stepbrother.
All the
wine in the world isn't going to make this better.
I’m reaching for a
napkin when I see that Jai is on the other side of the table, helping himself
to a generous portion of the oysters.
“You know what they say about
oysters,” he says. I pretend I didn’t hear him, but when I look over, he’s
staring right at me.
“What?” I hiss. “You think you’re
being clever? You think you’re going to impress me with that totally unoriginal
line, like I’ve never heard that oysters are an aphrodisiac? That’s not why I
took some—I happen to like how they taste very much and as a poor college
student, I can’t afford to eat like this!”
He’s still staring. At my chest.
Then the smirk returns. “Might want to pull up that dress, Janet Jackson.”
“What?” I look down. My left
breast has completely popped out of the top of the dress, my nipple there on
full display for anyone who happens to be looking. “Shit!” I try to stuff
myself back in the dress, dropping the plate of salad and oysters in the
process. “Fuck!”
“You know, they’ve got things you
can paste on in these sorts of situations.” He reaches over and picks up the
wayward oysters and puts them back on my plate.
“I’m not eating those,” I say. “I
need to talk to you.”
I wriggle my shoulders and try to
get myself as secure in the dress as I can before I hurry around to the other
side of the buffet table. “I need to talk to you over here.” We go to the back
of the restaurant, near the hallway to the bathroom, and I strategically place
myself behind one of the columns that keeps us partially obscured from the rest
of the restaurant.
“Imagine meeting you here,” Jai
says, a slow grin spreading across his face. “I really had no idea. No idea at
all. I knew I was going to be getting some stepsisters out of this blessed
union, but I really had no clue—”
“Are you fucking kidding me? You
expect me to believe that? You’re a fucking dog. A total fucking asshole.”
“I really do like the scarf. And
the dress, too. You should’ve left the tit out. You’ve got great tits, you
know.”
“I do NOT want to talk about my
tits!”
“That’s certainly not the tune
you were singing last night.”
“Do you realize how not funny
this is? What a complete disaster
this is? OUR PARENTS ARE GETTING MARRIED. That means we’re going to be brother
and sister.”
“Step brother and sister. There’s a difference, darling.”
Scarlett Ward’s debut serial series is a good start to what will be to come from her. A complete twist on a very saturated plot-line, Step-F*#k is a well written fast past story concerning the battle of wills between Jai and Emma.
The first meeting of these two happens when by the off chance they get together via a dating online site. A hundred percent all in, the attraction Jai has for Emma is palpable and he makes good when he says that he is in fact a good time. Emma is spell-binded, time and time again, and is quite sorry that their time together will be on the shorter side. But when Emma finds that gold band, she cuts their time even shorter and walks away from Jai, vowing never to see him again. What Emma doesn’t know is that Jai isn’t all who he seems to be and when their paths cross again, let’s just say that the attraction which was undeniable between them will be a big blunder for the future.
Note that Step F*#k is indeed a four (4) part series and I was given advanced readers copies so my review captures the essence of them all grouped together. Also be aware that each part will leave you in a cliffhanger because it is a four part series. Saying that, within each book the story builds with a seamless transition ending and starting back up where the reader doesn’t lose sight or interest of the story.
If you like sexy and hot, quick mature reads than these novellas will be right up your ally. I look forward to what comes next form Scarlett Ward.
