Synopsis
You’re not supposed to want the one who torments you. 


When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be. 

I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here. 
I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room. 
But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him. 

At first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. Then, things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night. 

Just as quickly as he’d come into my life, he was gone back to California. 

It had been years since I’d seen Elec. 

When tragedy struck our family, I’d have to face him again. 

And holy hell, the teenager who made me crazy was now a man that drove me insane.

I had a feeling my heart was about to get broken again.



Stepbrother Dearest is a standalone novel. 

**Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. It is only appropriate for adult readers age 18+


Stepbrother Dearest:




A könyvről :

Nem kellene pont őt akarnod, aki kínoz téged. 

Amikor a mostohabátyám, Elec a gimi utolsó évében eljött hozzánk, hogy velünk éljen, nem voltam felkészülve arra, hogy mekkora egy szemét. 
Utáltam, hogy bunkón viselkedik velem csak azért, mert nem akar nálunk lenni. 
Utáltam, hogy lányokat hoz haza a suliból és visz fel a szobájába. 
De amit a legjobban utáltam, az az volt, ahogy a testem akaratom ellenére reagált rá. 
Először azt hittem, csupán kőkemény, tetovált izmai és markáns arca lehet vonzó benne. De a dolgok új irányt vettek köztünk, míg nem egy éjjel minden fenekestül felfordult. 
Aztán épp olyan gyorsan, ahogy betoppant az életembe, már vissza is ment Kaliforniába. 
Évek teltek el, mire újra láttam Elecet. 
Amikor a tragédia lesújtott a családunkra, újra szembe kellett néznem vele. 
És szent ég, a kamasz, akiért egykor megőrültem, most férfivá érett, aki egyenesen az eszemet vette! 
Volt egy olyan érzésem, hogy a szívem megint darabokra törik.





Én és a Könyv 

Biztosan mondhatom, hogy Penelope Ward megvett magának. Annyira, hogy már olvasom is a Neighbor Dearest című könyvét. Amit nevezhetünk a Stepbrother Dearest folytatásának is, de tulajdonképpen az is önállóan olvasható. 
   
Legdrágább mostohabátyám szinte beszippantott, alig bírtam letenni, hajnalig olvastam, ami nálam annyira nem jellemző. Aki szeretik a  "second chance"  könyveket, azoknak igazi csemege lesz.
Greta és Elec tinédzser korukban találkoznak. Elec mindent elkövet, hogy a legrosszabb oldalát mutassa és az együtt töltött időt elviselhetetlenné tegye. 
Mindig édesebb a tiltott gyümölcs, de képesek lesznek a vágyaikat visszafogni?
A könyv második fele 7 évvel később játszódik, amikor a családi tragédia ismét összehozza őket. Sok minden történt a hét év alatt, és még mindig ott van a mélyen elrejtett titok, ami magyarázatot adhatna Elec és apja kapcsolatára.

A történet Gréta szemszögéből íródott.
