They were always taught that family was about more than blood, but when step-siblings Sophie Ellis and Logan Castle meet for the first time, their attraction is instantaneous. Forever trying to keep each other at arm's length, they discover that sometimes the best laid plans fall apart, when lovers fall together.
He's everything she's ever fantasized about, and everything she can never have.
She's all he's ever wanted, but never hoped to have.
Trying so hard to be his stepsister, she can't shake the attraction she feels.
He decides it's best to leave, but when circumstances see them reunite, and he discovers their initial attraction is still there after all the intervening years, he can't help himself. He has to have her.
Running scared, she cuts all ties.
Left behind, his bitterness grows.
When again circumstances force her back into his arms, her past comes back to haunt her.
He's determined to make her pay for leaving him.
Desires are forbidden. Loyalties are tested. Hearts are broken. And in the end, is love strong enough to conquer all?

Review by Wendy Book Obsessed Pimpette
*** obsessed by books are given for an honest review ***
this book is about two families coming together as one, but when the heart wants something else , what are you to do when you've been told its wrong.
from the very first time that sophie and logan meet there is chemistry and its a struggle for them, and its noticeable with every touch, every look. on sophies birthday it ends up being just her and logan and some lines are crossed and kiss is shared and some feelings are exposed but sophies tells him they cant do this cause it is wrong, so to protect himself and sophie logan stays away as much as possible.
a year has passed and its sophies birthday the family is going out and logan is coming along while at dinner they both realize that their feeligs are still very much there and alive, so logan decides he is going to tell sophie how he really feels for her and even his dad knows, but what happens later that night changes both their lives forever.
dealing with losing love ones is never easy and usually with time it gets better, but not when you have nightmares. sophie call on logan for everything he is her rock even though she has a boyfriend of years . instead of calling on tyler she calls on logan. one day sophie walks in on her boyfriend having sex with another girl and she just can't take it anymore and she runs off to the coast to be with logan her savior . while staying with logan, one night feelings get carried away and they make love and logan confesses some of his real feelings for sophie but all sophie can say is how it was a mistake. its not a mistake with her real feelings , its a mistake on the thought that their parents would be disappointed. she runs off in the middle of the night just leaving a note for logan. its a year before their paths cross again and its their jobs that bring them together. The only thing is logan feels hurt my sophie he has loved her this whole time and feels that she just never cared for his feelings and its took this year of being away from her to mend or has it. sophie still fights with how she truly feels about logan, she has always loved him but will she take on chance on them. this book is awesome, its soo good.

I couldn't put it down. I would give it a 5+ rating. you must get this book you will not be disappointed.

Review by Nadia Chief Obsessive Pimpette
~*~ Obsessed by books copy given in exchange for an honest review~*~
"Sophie didn't know whether to be offended that he ate her snail, or thrilled -he ate her snail!"
And so begins the forbidden love story of two teenagers brought together by their marriage of respective parents. Their story is a beautiful blend of innocence, humour and tragedy that makes their passion and circumstances feel so real. They meet for the first time at the wedding of Sophie's mother to Logan's father, not knowing who they are they spark off one another, the hormones causing sizzles of attraction to arc between them. Knowing it's wrong to want your younger stepsister Logan distances himself and gets on with his life in college. Only being involved in Sophie's life in small doses so that he can keep a tight leash on his emotions.
Heartbreaking tragedy eclipses their burgeoning love as at 18 Sophie experiences real loss and needs Logan to be her support, her family. Buring his feelings and becoming her go to person they develop a new dynamic as they both grow up into young adults. They maintain contact via phone and share their week religiously, Sophie has nightmares and needs Logan to survive her fears. Although both become successful with their careers neither has successful relationship and Sophies world comes crashing down around her once again.
Turning to her rock in times of need Sophie runs to Logan who welcomes her whole heartedly. They play cat and mouse around each other, trying to desperately maintain the sibling act to male their parents proud but when push comes to shove they can't resist the decade of longing they both have denied.
"They were stepbrother and stepsister, vest friends, lovers and now strangers."
Running is always her back up plan and age turns away from what has happened between them and moves away to the city to start again. Ruled by her fear and what others would think of her she shuns all contact with Logan. He is left broken and embitter by her choices. Fast forward another year and Sophie has learnt some hard lessons after finding a letter from her mother.
Fate once again has Logan crossing Sophie's path, yet he is not the man she ran from. Can she find her Logan hiding underneath the cool exterior, can they stop playing games long enough to really show each other how they feel? Or will fear male her keeping running from the man she loves?
Stepbrother, mine is a love story with twists and turns, I'll fated timings and circumstances. Logan is sensually hot and really he deserved better than the mind games Sophie plays. He was always there for her and she had the power to break him. Sophie is naive and sheltered, basing her actions on perceptions of what polite society would think. Hell if he was my stepbrother...I wouldnt give a damn what anyone thought! Their best friends add something more to them as we see Jan come to Logan's rescue and be everything that Sophie hasn't been in return to him. All in all a well written passionate tale that made me laugh and smile, grimace and outright stomp my foot!

Review by Jeanne Obsessive Pimpette
At first I had reservations about this book due to its title. Well, the old adage "you can't judge a book by its cover(or title in this instance)" certainly applies here. Logan & Sophie are attracted to each other the moment they meet. There's only one problem: they just became step siblings. It's a constant battle to control their desires for one another until Logan finally moves to the dorms on campus to try to relieve the sexual tension between them. Tragedy forces them together once again and as the years go by, their struggle with the rights and wrongs of their relationship finally comes to a head. Will they succumb to their feelings for one another or will they allow the opinions of society keep them apart?
About the Author
Mandy Lou Dowson was born and raised in a small town in Ireland, in 1983. Family is a huge deal to Mandy. She has three wonderful children, and a Siberian Husky who only does what she’s told if there’s something in it for her.
When she's not writing, reading, or plotting her next book - or, you know, world domination -, she likes to relax with a few glasses of wine and some karaoke. She has a keen interest in special effects make-up and is part of a dramatical society which puts on one show and one concert each year.
Mandy started reading at quite a young age and her appetite for the written word has only increased with time. It would not be at all surprising to find her reading anything and everything from shampoo bottles to Edgar Allan Poe.
She is the author of two distinct series of books. The Moon Bound series, which is in the Paranormal Romance genre, and is gathering rave reviews, and the Taboo series, which is Contemporary with a hint of the forbidden.
