When things suddenly end and Elec has to move back home, it completely broke me and my heart. So of course what is forbidden is always what you want the most, right? And as these two get closer, their growing attraction and feelings for one another become more apparent until they connect on a deeper level that neither thought could be possible. Now Elec is a complete jerk from the moment they meet but he’s hot, saucy and I can’t help but like it! 🙂 The reader can feel Greta and Elec’s dynamic and though Elec strives to get under her skin by being a complete ass to her, I felt something more behind his protective side, behind his kindness – there was definitely more than meets the eye with this one. There is obvious tension between Elec and his dad and I couldn’t help but wonder what caused this rift between them. Greta and Elec met when Elec came to spend a year with their new combined family – Greta’s mom married Elec’s dad. This was a story not done before and I love different and new it’s exciting and kept me on the edge of my seat and I couldn’t stop thinking about it nor did I want to. Stepbrother Dearest definitely did that to me and so much more. People who know me know I LOVE forbidden romance…the angsty kind that gives you knots in your stomach as you race through the book to find out what will happen. Ward’s characters (though Mitch is still my fave and Elec a very close second!!) I LOVE Penelope Ward books and Stepbrother Dearest was no different. It is only appropriate for adult readers age 18+ **Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language.

Stepbrother Dearest is a standalone novel. I had a feeling my heart was about to get broken again. When tragedy struck our family, I’d have to face him again.Īnd holy hell, the teenager who made me crazy was now a man that drove me insane.

Just as quickly as he’d come into my life, he was gone back to California. Then, things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night. I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room.īut what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him.Īt first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here. When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be. You’re not supposed to want the one who torments you.
