He told me to ‘settle, girl.’
\nHe asked if ‘something was wrong with me?’
\nHe said I was an \u2018easy target.\u2019
\nThat was within minutes when I first met Caden Banks.
\nI labeled him an *sshole, but he was more than that. Arrogant. Smug. Alpha.<\/p>\n

He was also to-die-for gorgeous, and my stepbrother\u2019s fraternity brother.<\/p>\n

Okay, yes I was a little naive, a tad bit socially awkward, and the smallest amount of stalker-ish, but if Caden Banks thought he could tell me what to do, he had another thing coming.<\/p>\n

I came to college with daydreams about being with my stepbrother, but what would happen if I fell for the anti-stepbrother instead?<\/p>\n

Jo’s Review:<\/p>\n

Tijan could write the phone book and I’d read it over and over again. Much like everything else she has written, Anti Stepbrother is filled with angst, love and bad boys. I’m a huge fan of her Fallen Crest series, Mason and Logan Kade being my favourite heroes of hers, but Caden comes in very close. Tattoos, arrogance, super Alpha? Hello! I love a hero who knows what he wants, WHO he wants and makes no apologies in going after it.<\/p>\n

Anti Stepbrother is a new standalone romance and as usual, Tijan hits it out of the park with this one. Her books only keep getting better and better and I can’t wait to see what she has next in store for us.<\/p>\n

Summer is simply adorable and someone who you can relate to and also become best friends with. She’s funny, random and perfect for Caden. She’s nothing like the previous women he has been with. When he needs her, she’s there for him. No matter what. He unfortunately has to deal with her step-brother. Kevin is a bit of a douche but does he come out in the end to right all the wrongs he did?<\/p>\n

Summer also has to fight for herself because Kevin is her family. Girls are mean. People judge. But it only makes her stronger.<\/p>\n

Summer and Caden become fast friends and fall for each other faster. It’s sweet, romantic, hot and filled with angst! I love this story and can’t wait for more from Tijan. xx<\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/b><\/p>\n

He wasn\u2019t looking at me any more. I wasn\u2019t even sure he was really in the room.<\/span><\/p>\n

I needed to leave this alone. He had given me the clues\u2014looking away, his jaw clenching, pain like I\u2019d never heard from him sounding loud and clear. My instincts were telling me to shut up, but I couldn\u2019t. I had this burning need to know more about Caden. I needed to get in there, past his walls, and I wanted to understand him.<\/span><\/p>\n

I wanted to help him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Caden was hurting, and I wanted to take that away.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Caden turned his gaze to me now, and I felt branded by the pain I saw. His eyes were stricken. \u201cDoes it matter?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d My breath caught and held in my chest. I wanted to go to him, but I also wanted to slink away. I was stirring up his pain, but I had to know. \u201cWhat happened, Caden?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do you have to know?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBecause it\u2019s hurting you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I made a decision, though I had no idea what the ramifications were going to be. I stood, my legs going numb and my stomach clenching, and I moved to his side. He leaned back, his head falling to the couch, and he watched me.<\/span><\/p>\n

The need to ease some of his hurt outweighed the fear of what would happen next. Swallowing tightly, I stepped over to straddle him and sat down.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He asked that softly, still holding his beer. I took it from his hands and put it on the stand next to the couch. Then I just sat there. He had to do the rest. I\u2019d already made the first move.<\/span><\/p>\n

I glanced down at his hands, feeling like an idiot. \u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhy are you pushing this?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I looked back up to find confusion warring with need in his eyes. He wasn\u2019t pushing me away, so I sank further into his lap.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou haven\u2019t told anyone else about this.\u201d It wasn\u2019t really a question, but I saw the confirmation in his eyes. My chest tightened, thinking about whatever secret he held. \u201cPlease tell me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d He shifted forward, and I braced myself, expecting him to push me away. He didn\u2019t. His hands grasped the backs of my legs and lifted me so I was more fully on his lap.<\/span><\/p>\n

I could feel him between my legs, and my breasts almost pressed against his chest. I waited. I wanted to see what else he\u2019d say<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBut not because I don\u2019t want you to know,\u201d he added. \u201cBecause it\u2019s not my secret to tell.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

I nodded, my stomach doing somersaults now. \u201cThat makes sense. I can respect that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And there we were. His hands cupped my ass, and the pain in his gaze became something darker, something I felt too, something that began to turn off all rational thought.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are we doing here?\u201d he questioned, his voice like a caress in itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

I leaned forward, my gaze lingering on his lips. \u201cI didn\u2019t really think it through.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cStill not thinking it through.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re okay with that?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In that moment, the truth exploded in me. I wanted him. I wanted this\u2014but it was more. I <\/span>needed<\/span><\/i> this.<\/span><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t answer.<\/span><\/p>\n

I closed the distance between us. <\/span><\/p>\n
