Length: 1 hr and 57 mins

Publisher's summary

"Friends with benefits, stepbrother with benefits, what's the difference?"

"Um, we're not even friends, Ethan?"

Rule number one - It's only supposed to last for a week....

Ethan is a cocky, arrogant jerk. He's always been that way. I'll never understand why girls trip over themselves just to be with him. Don't they realize he's going to ditch them in a week?

Yes, he can be nice when he feels like it. It's true that he's ridiculously attractive, too. It's not like I want to stare at him when he walks around shirtless, but it's hard not to notice someone with a body made of rock-hard sculpted muscle and sin. He's got that panty-melting bad boy smile that makes you want to....

Did I mention he's my stepbrother? Ick.

What? You think I'm falling for him? Nope! It's impossible.

There's only one problem...I might have accidentally, um...it was just one night, alright? One really good night. Panties? Yup, they're melted.

It was a mistake, it doesn't mean anything.

Sorry, there's two problems. Did I mention our parents are away and we're stuck home alone together for a week?

I'm the responsible one. The good girl with perfect grades. And I'm trapped for a week with a bad boy who showed me what it's like to give in to my wild side.

What's the worst that can happen?

Good girl gone Ethan

I loved this series. It's one of the best stepbrother story I have came across so far and its one of my go to stories especially with audio. Although not all 20 is on audio so I don't re-read or listen as often as I would like.

The audio voices is GREAT they both did an awesome job and the animation in their voice puts it at the top.

Arc review/Audible

I received a free copy of this book via Cherrylily ARCs and am voluntarily leaving a review. . HOT. Ethan Colton and Ashley banks are home from collage for the summer being step siblings but both have a attraction to each other .

Fantastic story

Our hero and heroine are home along for a week while their parents are out of town. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but our heroine just suffered through a breakup and our hero is surprisingly sympathetic. And willing to help her in any way she chooses...

This is book one of the series. Good stuff.

This is a short erotic romance for the taboo variety. The story is well written and easy to read (or listen to in this case) with a simple, but very well done cast of characters. I really liked both our hero and heroine for who they are. And while the plot was fairly straightforward, it was also really well done and very steamy. This one surprised me a bit by how much I really liked it and I am definitely looking forward to the next one.

Highly recommended.

A Taboo, Short, and Steamy Read!!

4 Stars

This novella is about Ashley, a smart, nerdy, and shy girl who's always been a good girl; and Ethan, a cocky, bad boy quarterback with a rich daddy and a bright football career.

These two have known each other since 2nd grade and became stepsiblings when they were in their teens.
This book starts off with a bang - wink wink - then we go back 4 days and it's the start of summer break and they're about to be home for the summer. And they're alone since their respective parents are vacationing for the week. And let's just say, they make the most of it.

This audiobook was super fun, spicy, and short, it's in dual 1st person pov, and ends on a cliffhanger.
In this book we get stepbrother, some taboo and forbidden aspects, friends-with-benefits, bad boy/good girl, summer fling, push and pull, drama, loads of hot tension, and slight angst.

Stepbrother With Benefits is the 1st installment in the Stepbrother With Benefits series, which will follow along with Ashley and Ethan's story, therefore these books cannot be read as standalones. I'd never read from this author before, but I sure will now. 100% recommend!!

Starting Strong

Talk about starting off strong. That prologue was hot! I was immediately drawn into the story. This is only part one of many, but it’s already diving into the good stuff. I usually expect the first installment to be an introduction and a way to get familiar with the characters and storyline. Sure, this one did that too, but yet also managed to be juicy and dramatic. Ashley and Ethan have explosive chemistry. It’s mostly lust right now, but there are definitely emotions below the surface, just waiting to emerge. The voice of the writing was unique. It took some getting used to, but I’m already enjoying the playful, stream of consciousness way that the characters narrate. They talk to the reader like they’re excitedly sharing gossip with a best friend while still trying to process how they feel about the situation. It brought me into the story and made me feel invested. I can’t wait to see what else is in store for Ashley and Ethan in the next episodes.

Had me blushing less than 10 seconds in! Love it!

Omg Starting off the book with a bang… I giggled throughout the entire book. Ethan is freaking hilarious from his very first chapter & Ashley is so innocent and adorable. I love how much of an over thinker Ashley is, she’s all in her head about everything, that’s how I process everything too! I love an awkward FMC. I just can’t get enough of these two! I’m a little sad there are so many of these little novellas but I’m about to binge them because I’m invested!

Quick Read

I wanted to enjoy the concept of this book. I love stepbrother romance. Ashley has just broken up with her boyfriend at college and heading home for a few months break. When she arrives, she finds her parents have gone on vacation for the week, and it's just her and her stepbrother Ethan. There is some repetitive reminders throughout the book about how rich Ethan's dad is. Ashley seems kind of whiney to me. Ethan seems overly cocky. The spice is there, but I wouldn't call it earth shattering. It was a few quick scenes. The book is fast paced. But then ends on a cliffhanger. Knowing that there were 20 books in the series, after listening to the first on audible, I can't say that I will finish it.

The audible was ok. It made the book go by fairly quickly. I sped it up to 1.5 and it lasted about an hour and a half. Not terrible, but not anything that would stand out for me in the future.

spicy

Ethan and Ashley have known each other since they were kids. years later their parents end up married and they become step siblings. after an experimental kiss in their early teens left them both questioning if there was something more between them. Ashley and Ethan come home for break and end up having a drunk night together that ends up leaving them both wanting more.

okay..

great if you want to be reminded four times a chatper that he is her STEP brother.

Hilarious

Ethan is hilarious as hell. Maybe I should be a bit disturbed by the way he treats girls but I'm not. I couldn't stop laughing. 🤣🤣🤣
