Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting? Not sure- This was the first book I have read like this. What other book might you compare Stepbrother Dearest to and why? The storyline is fresh and the writing exquisite. What made the experience of listening to Stepbrother Dearest the most enjoyable? Worth a credit? I'd hoped for good and Penelope Ward gave me great - so YES IMO very very creditworthy. And I couldn't fault the narration because each Chapter came to life as vivid mental imagery played thanks to a good narrator. Strong chemistry, a couple of sex scenes, humor, passion, heartache, butterflies, gut churning and toe curlingly awkward scenes, a mega twist and sighworthy romantic chapters made up this very enjoyable listen that was told from Greta's POV. and it was everything I'd hoped for when they eventually got their HEA ending. Greta had always deep down loved Elec but the timing was never right for them until it was. When you finally hear from Elec's POV (from the pages of his book) you see how much he cared, how sweet and tender his feelings were and that there were many layers to his character. What a great story this was as the misunderstood adolescent badboy finally showed his true feelings and the grownup man tried to hide his in a valiant but ineffective attempt not to hurt anyone. However, it wasn't over because two months later Greta would get a text that would change everything. wow, was again still going to be leaving Greta. And what follows is an emotional rollercoaster of heartache, joy, sadness, a deep connection and bitter-sweet memories because Elec, who hadn't physically crossed any lines but verbally. but it's difficult because she can see he's struggling too. and Elec's not alone - so Greta has to try and hide her jealousy, her true feelings and the strong sexual pull Elec has on her. Fast forward seven years Greta's living in NYC with a failed engagement under her belt and she and Elec have to return home for his father's funeral. but in the morning he'd still be leaving. He was meant to stay for a year but circumstances suddenly change which made them confront their hidden desires and a forbidden night of passion and unspoken feelings followed. And, from the moment Greta and Elec meet at age 17 sparks flew - and not always in a good way but, after many months of understanding, compassion and acceptance from Greta, some of Elec's walls had been scaled and a bond was formed. He was a troubled boy coming to stay with his estranged father and his new ready-made family so the animosity and resentment between father and son was high.

What a peach, what a find and what an addictive storyline between the deep, complex, moody, tattooed and pierced badboy Elec and his virginal caring step-sister Greta. Ms WARD I WAS EXPECTING GOOD & YOU GAVE ME GREAT
