Publisher's summary

When Ashley married Jeff she looked forward to their life together, but never considered the many ways becoming an instant mom could rip them apart. Her love for Jeff means more to her than anything in the world. However, never having kids of her own left her unprepared for the changing family dynamics. As her new step-kids test the boundaries, all hell breaks loose. Can Jeff rein them in before it costs him his marriage or was the marriage doomed from the beginning?

Bratty Step Children

Ashley has to deal with husband Jeff’s bratty children, especially his daughter. Her husband was of no help until he finds out just what she has been going through. This book was OK. Hollie Jackson did a great job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Yes, and I did.

I love this series by Melanie James. We get a glimpse into issues a married couple actually goes through. Each book is different, but all couples work through their problems together.

Great read!

Being a step parent isn't an easy job especially when they are teenagers and acting out after the divorce. In this story of the series Jeff has to step in and set things right in his house before it is too late to save his current marriage.

My favorite Éveiller Drive story so far!

Ashley is having issues with her step kids, and Jeff, her husband, isn't much help. I was cracking up with the her "revenge". Jeff's reaction to actually seeing what Ashley has been dealing with. I would have loved to have seen this one expanded more. But thoroughly enjoyed it as is.

Another Hit By Melanie James! Love this Series!

What did you love best about Ashley & Jeff?

I love how Ashley and Jeff even though they love each other have their faults. They are experiencing issues that any couple who remarry with children experience.

What other book might you compare Ashley & Jeff to and why?

This is my first time ready a series like this with married couples dealing with issues they are having in their marriage. However, it won't be the last!

Have you listened to any of Hollie Jackson’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, I've listened to several of Hollie Jackson's performances and this one is stellar like every other of her performance! I look forward to listening to many more audiobooks read by her!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, and I actually did listen to it in one sitting!

Any additional comments?

Melanie James has done it again! I love the way she has the capacity to write such short stories that have a powerful punch!
