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 have to say that I loved this story (for the
most part…more on that in a bit).
I loved the premise that they didn’t know they
were going to be related by marriage and that they randomly found each other
through a dating website.
I thought Jai and Emma had great chemistry!
My one issue with the book was the ending. Now,
I know I’m always complaining about cliffhangers and the such, but in this
case, that wasn’t it. My issue was that there wasn’t one…an ending I mean. I
finished the chapter, turned the page and it was blank. Nothing more to read. I
hit 100%. And I was shocked. And if I’m being honest (and I am), I was kind of
pissed. I mean, ok, it’s a serial…I knew that going in. But I expected there to
be some kind of cliff. The saving grace…that I already have part 2 to move on
to. (Yay me!!!)
But overall…this is a great start to the story
of Jai and Emma. I can't wait to see what happens next!
This one picks up with the morning after for
Jai and Emma. After an awkward start (involving French fries), Emma finds a
wedding ring and automatically assumes that it belongs to Jai. Well,
misunderstandings ensue and she flips out and there’s quite a yelling match.
The chemistry was still there and I loved
seeing their reactions to “meeting” each other at the family dinner!
The ending to this one was just as bad as the
first, but I will say this….I’m glad that the marriage misunderstanding was
cleared up rather quickly (aka by the end of this book) and not dragged out for
the rest of the series.
I can’t wait to move on to part 3!
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!
Oh boy. Well, I finished. Can’t say I
loved it, because I didn’t. This part of the story gave me a few issues. The
first being the misunderstanding. I realize that Emma was upset and hurt and
jumping to conclusions, but they’ve already been through that and she should
have stopped to think about that before running away.
My other issue was with the time
jump, not so much that there was one, but that both Jai and Emma were sleeping
with other people for the four months they were apart. Um….really!? You’re so
hung up on the other person that you start randomly sleeping with every Tom,
Dick and Harry to cross your path!? That really bothered me.
I’m not sure if there should have
been one more piece to this story, to really develop the emotions between Emma
and Jai, or if there should have been less games between them in part 3 but
either way, I wasn’t really convinced that they were in love.
Overall, the story wasn’t bad. Sure,
I had a few issues, but for the most part, it was entertaining.
EXCERPT
#1
He doesn’t let me finish. He lets go
of my wrist and grabs my hips, lifting me up onto the bathroom counter. My
breath catches in my throat as my shoulders collide with the mirror. He’s
kissing my neck, his hands all over me, and I wrap my legs around his torso and
run my hands through his hair.
“I
don’t want to be doing this,” I gasp, but we both know that’s not true. And
he’s not technically my stepbrother yet.
EXCERPT #2
He starts to unbuckle his pants.
“You want me to fuck you?”
“Yes.”
He
pushes his pants down. “Say it.”
“I
want you to fuck me.”
