My Not So Wicked Stepbrother

My Not So Wicked Series, Book 1

Loveless is more than a name, it's a curse.

I, Emma Loveless, have a destiny. It's not the greatest of destinies, but when you have a name like Loveless, what can you do? I'm cursed to always be the friend, never the girlfriend. Unless you count my love affair with Duncan Hines, Dr. Pepper, and the ever-lovable Pillsbury Doughboy. They've seen me through it all, but a girl needs more than refined sugar to curl up to every night. It doesn't help that I have a meddling, albeit wonderful, mother who can't help playing matchmaker. Thanks to her, I can say I've been on a date with a felon. Now she swears she's found the one for me, her new optometrist, Dr. Sawyer King. Meanwhile, I'm preparing for the inevitable restraining order. That is, until I meet the sexy doctor and have to admit my mother is right—love at first sight does exist.

Unfortunately, my last name means business. Not only do I find myself in the friend zone, but also the twilight zone. Only in my world would Mr. Right turn into my stepbrother. To top it off, he brings with him a wicked stepmother who will do anything to keep us apart. Despite all this my heart—or is that my mom?—keeps telling me Sawyer is the one. But what if true love isn't strong enough to interfere with my destiny? It'll be me and the Doughboy...for eternity.

A fun escape

I really appreciated all the different ways Sawyer showed his love in how he cared for her before they kissed. It made that moment all the more meaningful. I also loved how the female lead stood up for herself and showed her strength and capabilities in so many ways. There was some excellent villains too which made those moments of victory all the more enjoyable.

Great Book!

Wonderful storyline with well developed characters. The one-sidled love story keeps your interest because you never think it will develop into a full blown love affair, a slow burn that gets frustrating at times, but I couldn’t put this book down, Narration is good.

Love it

I seriously love everything about this book! The humor is one of a kind! I also enjoy the clean, and funny interactions! It’s the type of book that makes you giddy as well as heart sick all at the right times. It sucks you in!
