sleeping with your step-sister
Lucas St. James is
accustomed to women wanting something from him. They tend to see his good looks
and fat bank account but never the man underneath. After a passionate weekend
with Jade Jones, he assumes she’s no different and cuts her loose. But he’s in for
the shock of his life when he sees her again at his dad’s lawyer’s office.
Jade swore she’d
never follow her mom’s advice about it being as easy to love a rich man as a
poor one. Although she has the blonde bombshell looks to attract a sugar daddy,
she’s not the gold digger Lucas accused her of being. Her mom might have lured
his dad into marriage before their untimely death, but Jade is focused on
making it on her own.
Now they’re
permanently connected by their parent’s marriage, the terms of his dad’s
will—and the fact that Jade is carrying her step-brother's baby.
MY REVIEW:
Wow, just wow. Fiona has completely blown me away with this series!! I mean honestly, these are some yummy men people!! First Wyatt and now Lucas (both are complete standalones and not intertwined at all), makes me wonder how hot book 3 will be. Which, by the way, I am not so patiently counting down the days for!!
Lucas and Jade are amazing together, regardless of the sticky "relation" to each other that they find themselves in. I mean honestly, how much of a fluke could it be for you to fall for the son of the man that your mother will eventually marry?? That part sucked, because these two found their connection long before their parents fell in love. Even if that connection was short lived, and severed due to a horrible misunderstanding.
Speaking of the misunderstanding- it made me harsh toward Lucas to begin with- seeing as he could be so callous and judgmental toward a woman that had given him no reason to be. But, very soon thereafter he redeemed himself when it became all too apparent how much he cared for Jade. And for their unborn child.
While I hated the obstacles that they had to go through to get their HEA, it was most definitely worth it in the end to see where they ended up. After the crap hand they were dealt from the beginning, they most certainly deserved happiness.
Way to go with this series, Fiona, as you have done a magnificent job with it.

EXCERPT
“You’ve been named in Jonathan’s will.”
“Why would he even do that when we’d never met?
I mean, I didn’t even know he existed,” I mumbled the last part, cringing a
little at blurting it out like that. “When would he have had time to add me to
his will?”
“Jonathan was a man who knew how to get things
done quickly.” I held back an inappropriate giggle while thinking about how
fast my mom had to have moved to get him to marry her so swiftly. Apparently
spritzing men’s cologne in a high-end department store finally paid off. “And
considering the size of his estate, he didn’t want to leave anything to chance
once your mom was a part of his life.”
I couldn’t help but think of all the men who’d
paraded through my mom’s world while I was growing up. As different as we were
and despite the distance between us, I loved her dearly. It was deeply
saddening to know she’d finally met a man who apparently treasured her the way
she’d always wanted, only to die shortly afterward.
I stood, intending to step away for a moment to
gain control of my emotions before I ended up sobbing in front of a stranger.
My stomach had another form of embarrassment in mind instead. The breakfast
burrito I’d gobbled down this morning crept back up my throat. My gaze darted
around the room, frantically searching for a place where I could vomit. “I
think I’m going to be sick,” I mumbled past the hand I’d slapped over my mouth.
The lawyer rolled his chair back and started to
pull a trash can out from under his desk. I didn’t have enough time to wait for
him and scampered around to his side, falling to my knees and thanking my lucky
stars when my puke hit the bottom of the trash can. A couple minutes later,
once my stomach was empty, I realized I’d trapped Mr. Wilkinson in his chair
because the wall was right behind him. Grabbing the handkerchief he was holding
out for me and lifting it to swipe at my lips, I felt my cheeks heat as I rose
to my feet again.
“What the hell are you doing here, Jade?” The
question was growled from behind me in a raspy voice with which I was
intimately familiar. I swiveled on my heel and came face-to-face with Lucas St.
James. In his three-piece suit, with his dark hair perfectly styled and
chocolate brown eyes glaring daggers at me, he looked nothing like the man
who’d left me tousled and naked in a hotel room bed six weeks ago. “And
why the fuck were you giving my dad’s lawyer a blow job under his desk?”
I felt the little blood which was left in my
face after my puke-fest drain. I wasn’t sure if it was because Lucas had just
said “dad” which meant he was most likely the step-brother in question or if it
was the blow job insult.
