"Evil Stepsister" Release Day Blitz ~ Review

Brielle Harper was the perfect woman. Gorgeous. Talented. Sensual.
And my step-sister.
I had loved Brielle Harper since I was a little boy. I was her protector. Both her parents and mine divorced within months of each other and suddenly--her mom and my dad were engaged. She tormented me my every waking moment. I was too infatuated to care. 
A tragedy sent her into my arms for just one night. She taught me about love and I helped her to forget in those few hours. The next morning, she was gone. I was left cleaning up the mess we’d made. My future was in shambles while she was now a rising star.
For five years, she was gone from my life-- a famous pop star who was burned out from living too fast for too long. And now she wanted back into my life, AND my heart.
Even though she was my evil stepsister, I had always loved her. I always would. I just didn’t know if I could bank on forever with someone I couldn’t trust to stay.

~REVIEW~

Brielle and Caters story is a tortured one. Thought their childhood Brielle was awlful to Carter and he just couldn't get past her. When he would try she would block what ever efforts he made to move on. She really was a terrible person and there were very few moments of kindness from her. Throughout most of the book I was hoping that Carter would move on and Brielle would get what's coming to her.  When she left Carter was forced to clean u the mess and never be able to chase his dreams. When she finally returns home Brielle is different and I could even feel that through the pages. Carter just wasn't ready to love her how she was and that was understandable after all the year of torment she put him through. He has to decide if he can cut her permanently out of his life or except what she has to offer. The sex scenes were good nothing too detailed or raunchy. The ending was Fabulous.

 Snippet from Evil Stepsister

I refused to drive the car she bought me. It sat in the corner of the lot, mocking me every single day. I went back to my old beater and drove it around proudly.

 “Carter, you need to stop this,” Dad tried to reason with me again, for probably the millionth time.

“Dad, I swear to God. Stop.” I pointed my wrench at him as I crawled out from under the car I was working on. “This is the only solace I get. The only fucking thing in my life that’s making sense. You’re not going to harass me while I work. I will quit.”

 “You can’t quit. It’s Father and Son Auto. You’re stuck with me. You’re the one that took me back, so now you get to listen to me give you life advice. You’re fucking up. Royally. You’re letting the best thing that ever happened to your sorry ass go.” Dad sighed and rubbed the back of his neck.

“I can quit. Keep pushing me!” I yelled back petulantly. 

“You’re just as stubborn as your mother!”

“Leave that bitch out of it. She has kept herself out of it just fine for the last eight years or so.” “Carter, that’s not true. She and I talk often. You just won’t talk to her.”

“I’ve got nothing to say.”

He sighed and turned back to the car he was working on. “You’re making a big mistake.”

“Am I, Dad? Am I really? You don’t know what it was like for me when she left the first time…or when she left again after telling me she was staying for good. Then to see her collapse over this cockamamie dream of hers…and now she wants to jump back in the deep end? I’m fucking tired of saving her. I am tired of being her savior. I’m pretty sure even Jesus would throw his hands up on this one.”

“Whoaaaa…” Dad shook his head. “Cockamamie dream? You do know the kid’s seriously talented, right?”

“Of course I do. God damn. Of course! But talent only takes you so far, and she doesn’t need the stress and exhaustion.”

“Soooo…you acting like a dick is keeping her calm? Why aren’t you supporting her? Oh, that’s right, because you’re scared. You’re scared to give up any of the control. So you withdraw.”

“Look, Dr. Phil, back off.”

“No, Carter, you back off. You’re wrong on this one.”

“I don’t have any of the control in this relationship. She’s always been the one pulling the strings. Always!”

“You’re completely overreacting. She’s just making some music. Her and Kirby are working hard, and they sent out a demo to a couple small labels. She’s excited. She’s happy. Music makes her happy. She’s not asking you to save her. But you can’t let her be happy because God forbid everything isn’t about you. God forbid she’s not there every waking moment to fulfill your needs. Grow up, Carter. Love is a two way street. It can’t be you driving, all the time. You have to trust her. Trust that she loves you enough to stay. Let her run free, but also let her know she’s got a home to come to. Or keep pushing her away and lose the best thing you’ll ever have.” He threw down his wrench and walked to the door. “I’m done for the day. I can’t stand to look at you.”
