ARC Review: Sinner's Steel by Sarah Castille

The Sinner's Tribe MC is back with the most enigmatic of their members finally getting his story told. Zane has always been derisive about love and in this sexy second chance romance, we find out his history at last!

Sarah Castille has written another fast paced and gritty story featurinng Evie, a single mom who has been in love with Zane since she was a teenager. Best friends as kids, Evie, Zane, and Jagger were just heading towards making the decisions that would shape their adulthood. Jagger was going into service; Evie was soon heading to college but was a little younger than the boys; Zane only knew he didn't want to follow in his father's criminal footsteps and he wanted to be with Evie. The best night of Zane's life turned into the worst as he won and lost Evie in a matter of hours. When he went back for her, it looked like she had moved on.

Meanwhile, Zane is the only man Evie ever loved, and seeing him so many years after waiting for him to come back to their hometown was jarring to say the least. Now that they are in the same city, Zane has decided that she is his, which is complicated because she is kind of dating Viper, the President of their arch nemesis MC.

I basically read this in one sitting. Between the secrets, lies, and sexy times, I soaked it up and went back back for more!

ARC Review: To The Moon and Back by Jocelyn Han

This book is also known as Fly You to the Moon, so if you think the premise sounds familiar, that may be why. In the not so distant future, Ava is sent to the moon to live with Nicholas, her "uncle" on paper but not by blood. Although she is technically an adult, she is considered a ward of Nicholas under his Elite status until she is at least 21. Ava was expecting a old stuffy fogie, but she got the much younger and hotter Nicholas who more carefully follows her deceased father's belief system that the Elite class aren't better than anyone else.

This short and sweet erotic novella introduces us to this futuristic world of classism and interstellar travel. Ava and Nicholas' story takes the stepbrother trope in a new and sexy direction. They have amazing chemistry, and everyone around them can see the sparks fly. When they finally succumb, the pages catch fire! A hot read that is the start of a new series - good news considering the world this story is set in and the great characters we were introduced to.

BAD ROMANCE
A Stepbrother Novel
Jen McLaughlin
Available Now!


In this explosive novel from bestselling author Jen McLaughlin, a good girl falls for the ultimate bad boy: her stepbrother. Perfect for fans of Sabrina Paige, Caitlin Daire, and Krista Lakes, Bad Romance proves that passion can be so wrong it’s right.

Seven years in the army will change a guy. But after a shoulder wound ends his career as a sniper, Jackson Worthington finds himself back home, fighting a battle that’s all too familiar: keeping his hands off Lily Hastings. She’s still her rich daddy’s little angel, innocent, impossibly lovely, as squeaky-clean as Jackson is dirty. And she’s still his stepsister—forbidden but not forgotten, not after the soul-melting kiss that got him kicked out of the house at eighteen. He couldn’t resist her then. How the hell can he resist her now?

Lily is about to marry a man she doesn’t love, and commit to a high-stress job she hates, all to please the father who controls every waking moment of her life. On top of everything, her teenage crush is back, with a sleek, chiseled body and a trace of the rebellious boy whose lips sealed her fate. Jackson’s timing couldn’t be worse . . . or better. Because Lily’s all grown up, too. She’s aching for another taste. And for the first time, she’s ready to be a bad girl.

Miss Boxy Frown's Review

Bad Romance is a sexy stepbrother romance about Lily, a young woman who has always does what is expected of her, and Jackson, who left their home as a teenager when he wouldn't do the same.  Seven years later their bittersweet beginnings have not been forgotten as Jackson returns home and encounters an older, sexier Lily. Both adults with responsibilities, the repercussions of stepsiblings being involved in a small affluent community are many; Lily has a responsibility to her father and plans to marry a man she doesn't love to combine family businesses. However Lily is tired of doing the expected for everyone else. She wants Jackson, and she wants him all for herself.

The chemistry between army man Jackson and society gal Lily is scorching, and always has been. Older, wiser, and with a more mature set of tastes, these two can't stay away even when they try. Sometimes in stepbrother novels the connection is watered down, which then waters down the taboo. However, Jen McLaughlin's Lily and Jackson are a perfect example of what a reader wants to encounter in this sexy trope.  Secret romances are hot, and stepbrothers are even hotter. Jackson's passion for Lily jumps off the page and grabs you by the feels. He isn't just physically attracted, but emotionally as well. Bad Romance is a hot read from cover to cover!
