Description
From USA Today best-selling author Lucy Leroux – a Readers’ Favorite Romance – Sizzle finalist.
For almost five years, Alex has had one obsession. Her name is Elynn.
Alex Hanas couldn’t believe after so many years as a widower, his father was getting remarried. To make matters worse, the American gold digger had a kid – a daughter named Elynn. After months of avoiding it, Alex goes to brunch with every intention of giving his father’s new family the deep freeze. But he can’t pull it off with Elynn’s anxious green-grey eyes locked on him.
That was the day his life changed.
Four years later, Alex is as close to Elynn as a stepbrother can be. But that’s not enough for him. He wants more…and he’s done waiting.

May have spoilers. May not. Just wanted to cover my bases.
Listened to the audio version of this book, and the narrator did a good job. She did both the male and female POV’s, and did great at both. I’d recommend listening.
I love the whole forbidden aspect of falling in love with a step-sibling, and the romance is very sweet! Elynn and Alex never really live with each other, so it’s not really much of a taboo to me. There’s another sort of taboo, and that’s the age difference of 10 years. Elynn is 17 when they meet, and Alex is 27. Elynn’s mom and Alex’s dad got married, and Alex isn’t too happy about it, but Elynn intrigues him. Alex’s feelings turn more towards the heart, but he knows Elynn is too young, so he doesn’t pursue a romantic relationship. He wants to give her time to “grow”, and Elynn also had a bad experience with an obsessive guy, so she’s fragile at the moment. Fast forward 4 years, the two are close as friends, but there’s still those romantic feelings Alex has, and he’s ready to let Elynn know. The problem is that Elynn is still dealing with the bad experience from the past and Alex hasn’t been completely true to his love for Elynn, so that causes issues. That wasn’t too great, and Alex has horrible taste in women before Elynn. Elynn and Alex aren’t really together, so I didn’t hold that against him, but it would’ve been more romantic and heartfelt if he had waiting completely for Elynn. Alex is really sweet with Elynn though, so that made up for it with me. Alex is a dominating man, so some may take issue, but I think it suits Elynn well. I loved that she’s kind of nerdy and super smart, but she’s also on the delicate side, so she leans towards the submissive side of things. The sex scenes were great, and I really enjoyed the chemistry between them. Once Alex decided he needed Elynn, he was full force ahead, which I liked. It really moved the story along. There’s also some excitement and mystery with the stalker angle, which I love that type of thing, so I was all on board for that! I actually would’ve loved a lot more of that, and the would’ve added another layer to the story. One thing bothered me; I don’t want to spoil it too much, so I’ll just say, “Why in the heck did she go into the room?!” That was really stupid on her part. Overall, entertaining and I loved the emotion between Elynn and Alex. Looking forward to more!

Although this is not the first book by this author that I have read, it is the first that I have listened to. This author never fails to entertain me with her stories and this one kept me pulled in until the end. The only thing wrong was the narration, there was to many inconsistencies and choppiness as well as sounds bleeding through from the background

After listening to Calen’s Captive, I had to listen to ther first book in the series. A warning for those on the fence, it can be deemed a little taboo. However, I did enjoy the story. I like how the narrator is different in each story to give a slightly different feel.
