Publisher's summary

Rule #9 - We were never supposed to get this far. It was only supposed to be for a week. I don't even know what we're supposed to do now. I've never done this before.

I still don't know how to tell my dad that I'm dating my stepsister. I don't know if I can ever tell him. He's already voiced his disapproval, whether he realizes it or not. With more and more people trying to interfere, it's getting harder to keep this a secret, though....

camping trip

Slightly shocking but pretty smart move about the tent, Ashley (not sure who is really bad here Ashley or Ethan) The story is about their camping trip. Interested how they are going to reveal their story.

love it!!

Love love love the narration! I adore the characters. I like that the stories continuously loop with no time gaps. I also like that so far the stories cover a short period of time and aren't jumping months/years in advance!

Can't wait to read what the next story brings!.

Have to keep listening

This entire series of short novellas keep me listening, I need to see where it goes!

Camping & Tents

While I do love all of the insatiable steaminess between Ethan and Ashley, the surprising support and pragmatic approach from her mother really is inspiring. I also like the open and honest conversations they have, even when squirming ensues.

I listened to an author's copy of the audio book with CJ Bloom and James Cavenaugh leading the charge. Both are well suited for the characters. If there was one thing I could change, it'd be that the books were done in duet narration. Second thing I might change would be Ashley's mom's would only be voiced by James. CJ"s version sounds more grandmotherly than a woman likely in her 40s.

Stepbrother With Benefits!

This is the ninth read/listen in the series, this is a long series of short stories. Definitely read/listen in order because they are the developing story of stepsiblings to more. This series is Ethan and Ashley's journey. The two are dating and have moved past the stepsiblings, not blood related, with benefits relationship. The parents along with Ethan and Ashley are headed to camp. Ethan and Ashley almost get busted on the way by his father. While his dad is suspicious they manage to get away unscathed. Ashley is not happy with the sleeping arrangements and takes matters into her own hands. Then dad tries to play matchmaker. These two are entertaining as they spare with each other. Such a fun read. I look forward to continuing their story. What will happy on this camping trip will his dad be successful? Will Ethan and Ashley's relationship finally come out? Bring on the the next one!

Going camping

A camping to reconnect with the family, except our hero and heroine have already connected on a deep level. Too bad dad doesn't know and keeps offering "helpful" suggestions. They better tell him soon.

This is book nine of the series and book one of the new story arc. It does just fine as a standalone, but it will be more enjoyable if you start from the beginning of the series.

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 mom is a lot of fun as well. The plot is fairly straightforward, but it is also really well done and very steamy. The story keeps getting better for me and I really enjoy watching the characters grow, both individually and as a couple. Bring on the next book!

Highly recommended.

very good books

I love the books, very funny banter between the two of them. hoping they end well together

This had my attention

Part 9 had my full attention. The excitement of road sex and the thrill of being so close to being caught it was good.

Stepbrother romance

Ashley and Ethan's story continues. In this part the family goes camping together. It cracked me up that Ashley and her mom sabotage the tents so that Ashley and Ethan can sleep in the same tent. At the campground they meet a boy named Caleb. Ethan's dad tries to fix Ashley up with Caleb. Ethan gets his feelings hurt. Until the next part.
