Really enjoyed this OTT alpha male. I read a couple of reviews that said there was cheating here but there really wasn't. So he had a very few short relationships while he waited for her to grow up. Not cheating since they had no romantic relationship at the time nor had one been promised or implied. So if you like Lynda Chance you'll probably like this. It was well written and flowed smoothly. Can't wait for more from this author. ( )

The writing is good. The story is better than I expected, but the hero is older than the heroine, he has loved her since she's 17.
But as he has 'needs ' he is basically a man whore until she is old enough for a relationship. Poor guy, how did he cope, all those women but it's ok cos he doesn't feel anything for any of them.
I really dislike this type of mentality there is no talk of STD's I mean I seriously wouldn't touch him with a barge poll but he mentioned he got tested but the heroine doesn't have that conversation with him until after.
That said he is a nice guy, if only with her. ( )

I could only dream of someone like Alex obsessed with me.. I thought this was gonna be the same plot as the others I was wrong ( )

When Alex’s father decides to marry one of their employees from accounting he is livid. He refuses to have anything to do with his new gold digging step-mother and demands that his father has her sign a pre-nuptial agreement. For months he avoids any contact with his father’s wife and her child, a rather chubby young girl. When he finally consents to a family brunch he discovers that his opinions of Elynn were flawed and he wants to know her better and that makes his like a bit of a perv after all she is only seventeen and add to add to that she is recovering from a huge trauma thanks to a stalker. Five years later Elynn is about to graduate college and when he mistakes a scene he witnesses with one of her best friends he decides he needs to make his move before another man swoops in and takes what’s his.

As a rule, I am not a big fan of these so called taboo books about step siblings, because it is not really a taboo since there is NO blood relation to connect them, except to maybe the anal retentive morons of the world. That being said, the blurb was rather vague but still managed to pull me in so here we are with a book that starts out very sweet and turns steamy about half way through. I really like Elynn’s character, there author did a great job of sticking to after effects of the trauma that she suffered and how it defined Elynn’s life. What I didn’t like was how they mentioned her stalker but that he was fleeting until the end, I wish he been more of a threat throughout the story because through the whole story the stalker was more of a peripheral cause not an ongoing issue until he came out of left field. In other words, if he was a continuing threat then perhaps his part should have been bigger than phone calls and flowers.

Costas marries Mary and into this marriage they bring their children. Elynn is the bright young seventeen year old daughter of Mary and Alexandros (Alex) is Costas’ playboy son who is 10 years older than his new stepsister. Ms Leroux manages to keep Alex and Elynn apart for a number of years and in that time Alex continues to date, make the tabloids, and befriend Elynn while Elynn manages to get through high school, college and be ready to move on toward a graduate degree before Alex decides it is time to make his move on Elynn.

Some elements of the story are rather predictable and the writing, for a first novel, is done well if not as engaging as I might have liked it to be. The author kept the story moving with quite a few events for Alex and Elynn to participate in, both in bed and out of it. I found it a bit unlikely that Elynn would fall so quickly, put up with such a dominant male so easily and then become rather dominant herself in such a short period of time. There are more books expected in the Singular Obsession series by Ms Leroux.

This is a story that will appeal to readers who want a steamy romance to read that will provide future books in the same series.

I was given this book for an honest review. Since there wasn’t anything new (to me) in the book and it was much like many others of the genre that I have read before I rated it three stars. ( )
