Stepbrother Dearest by Penelope Ward Book Summary

You’re not supposed to want the one who torments you.  

When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be.

I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here.
I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room.
But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him.

At first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. But things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night.  

Then, just as quickly as he’d come into my life, he was gone back to California. 

It had been years since I’d seen Elec. 

When tragedy struck our family, I’d have to face him again.  

And holy hell, the teenager who made me crazy was now a man that drove me insane.

I had a feeling my heart was about to get broken again.

Good listen. This was smart and funny. All the classic teenage angst growing into adulthood. I think women can't help but write what they wish men would think, but men are a little more simply driven and less considerate. So I get a little "yeah right" on some of it. But the author's sense of humor is great.

Love it!!. This book was slightly cliché sometimes but it was pretty great. I was very emotional and read it all in one day!!! Definitely a must read

Amazing!. A must read, couldn't put it down. Their love was incredible from the beginning to the end! Give it a chance!!💗

Stayed up all night. Couldn't put it down! It had me laughing. It had me crying and clutching my chest because my heart ached for Elec and Greta. They are amazing characters. You will not be disappointed in reading this truly amazing and captivating love story. Worth every penny and then some!!

Love it 🥰. I cant say how much i loved this novel , how i loved both the hero and heroine , thank you ms ward from the bottom of my heart .

GREAT!!. Loved this book so much!! I read it all in one sitting. I just couldn't put it down. Had me laughing,crying,squealing!! Definitely one of my favorite books of all time. If you haven't read it. DO IT!!

A great taboo cliche. I skipped past this book several times while hunting for proper smut. I finally caved after seeing it recommended so often. It did not disappoint! Yes, it’s a cringey overplayed cliche of a story line but the author spins this very well. The character development is fantastic and you fall in love with main characters pretty fast. It’s a quick read with plenty of down low tingles and a couple of hot scenes. Over all it’s not back to back pages of non stop smut. It’s a slow build but definitely worth the wait!! 4 out of 5 stars because I wanted for smut lol

One of my favorites. What an epic love story. I laughed and cried and got all those warm fuzzy feelings. Highly recommend!

Stepbrother dearest. How to begin? For first, I think the name of the book does not justify the quality of this novel. I was expecting an usual romance story and found a spectacular book. I read it the same day, couldn't put it down. I went through an emotional roller coaster and the story twisted was totally unexpected. This is my first book of this author and I definetely will look for other books of her. Excellent story, great characters, excellent writing.

No good. Maybe I missed something?? I rarely start a book without finishing it but I can’t with this book. Very confusing.

Stepbrother love it!. This book was fantastic! I loved it! The characters have depth and are smart. The author makes you feel all of these emotions; sadness, happiness, and anger! Good writer! What I liked best was this is a stand alone book and not 1 of 2 or some tiring series. Kudos to the author on a good book!

Couldn't put it down. I, too, read this book in one day. It was awesome!!! I fell in love with Elec ❤️😘 Definitely recommended to all.

Must Read!. This book is such a good story! The story is multifaceted and will keep you turning the pages! I read it in less than a day because I couldn’t stop reading!

L❤️ve!!!. I l❤️ved this book. !!!

Love.. Just amazing.

Great read. This book was well written. It kept me coming back for more. Very hard to step away. It took me on an emotional roller coaster. Love the story line and the ending.

amazing emotional roller coaster. wow is all I can say ! I could not put this book down I read it in less then a day it will put you through every emotion from happiness sadness, anger and many times frustration and not short of laughter either the way Penelope Ward was able to captivate you into feeling everything the characters are feeling is incredible Loved this book

Pleasantly surprised. I went into this book not knowing quite what to think or expect. But Greta and Elec were a pleasant surprise. I was immediacy sucked into their world and seemingly felt all they felt. When Greta's heart was crushed so was mine. When Elec was struggling so was I. Loved their banter in the beginning, their confusion in the middle, their love, their heartbreak, and their ultimate ending.

Loved it. Wasn’t expecting this but I loved it

Very good. Yeah the topic is taboo but it was an amazing book with amazing characters towards the end you won’t be able to put it down🤩

Loved it!. Great storyline. Love a good HEA

Very repetetive. This is by far my least favorite of Penelope’s books that I have read so far. The second half was particularly hard to get through because at one point the female main character, Greta, reads a book written by the male main character, Elec. The “book” recounts most of what you have already read, coming from his perspective so it felt very repetitive. I do very highly recommend When August Ends and The Day He Came back.

Wow is right!. I could not put this book down. I love when a great book makes me laugh while reading it and this one did just that. I loved the realistic love story between Elec and Greta but the twist in the relationship between Elec and Randy was truly epic. I totally did not see that coming at all which made the book even better. I won't give the details away but I would highly recommend reading this book for yourself you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful.... I couldn’t put this book down. I love Penelope Ward, and right now I love her so much more. Heartbreakingly funny and sweet...thank you.

Beautiful Love Story. This had me laughing and crying and so full of emotion it was wonderful. It made me think of my life and fate how it plays different roles! Beautiful story I can’t wait for more!!!!!

Brilliant. Taboo? Yes. BUT SO DANG GOOD. I laughed, I cried, and I read it in one day. Enjoy!

Loved it!. This was the most beautiful story!

Just the right amount of everything.. ___________________________ Positives: I recently got into more “Taboo” types of books and I wasn’t sure when I first saw this book and what it’s about, if I would like or not. Well I don’t like it... I F***ING LOVE IT! I don’t this expected anything except the hope for them to be together in the end. The way she always used his story a his point of view was perfectly written. This book made me scream, cry, gasp, smile, laugh a lot, and overall so happy. It says everything up and end everything in a nice pretty bod made of panties... you won’t get it until you read it. And it has nothing to even do with all the sex they have haha! Which was also a plus because it wasn’t cheesy sex either. Every page had good detail and dialogue. You felt their emotions and you felt everything as if it was your life in the book. Definitely recommend for anyone! 5 Star. Negatives: Near the end I felt it was almost written in a rush. There dialogue stopped have details in between like the rest of the book had and it felt like a rushed ending. Was still a good one though. ___________________________ Rates 1-5 Plot: 5 Characters: 5 Ending: 4 Beginning: 5 Details: 5 Story overall how it’s told: 5 Sexual tension: 5 Sex scenes: 5 Overall rating: 5 ___________________________ Yes/no/maybe Would I recommend: yes Would I re-read: yes Would I read more books by author: yes Would I read more books like this: yes ___________________________

Wow. I couldn’t stop reading it❤️

Great book. After awhile it felt like it was dragging on at the end but overall great story

Wow. Wow. This book was A LOT better than I anticipated. It’s become one of my favorites.

Amazing!. I absolutely loved this book, my heart was pulled in so many directions. The finale made my heart soar. Can’t wait to read more books by Penelope Ward

Soooooo good. I couldn’t put it down and had read it all in less than 24 hours. I laughed and cried and absolutely loved this book

Wow. Amazing read. Taboo, yes, but this book had it all. It really made me not only get butterflies but really feel for these characters. I typically hate time jumps but this book was so good to me. I’ve read probably one too many romance novels and I’ve found a lot to be stale lately but this one is my first five star in a while. Amazing book, great writing.

Excellent!!!. I didn’t know what to think, I thought it would be cheesy and I was completely wrong. This book is amazing, I felt every emotion while reading…buy it NOW!!!!

It’s definitely worth the read. I’m honestly breathless. I was expecting a smut book but instead I found a true gem. Literally just a diamond sitting among all the dirty little books. It was so good I stayed up all night to finish it and I haven’t done that in a very long time with a book. The best part is that it was all tied up in a neat bow with book 1. You will not regret reading this. The author is absolutely genius.

Omg!. I couldn't put it down. Such a good story.

Right up there with Thoughtless. I can't stand all the fake reviews it's so hard to tell if I'm just being tricked into buying a good book or one that has great reviews because ppl manipulate the ratings somehow, but.... This is truly a great book! As I wrote in my title it was almost as good as my favorite romance book Thoughtless. I only wish it was longer I would have loved to read a sequel.

Couldn't put it down.. It was a turn pager stayed up all night to read it.

Not My Favorite. This wasn’t my favorite book by Penelope Ward by a long shot. Did I enjoy the story? Yes, but felt like I was missing something. It needed more compared to reading more of her other works.

LOVED!!!. I loved, loved, loved this book! This book is truly addictive! I read the whole book in a total of 10 hours! This book was truly amazing in every way!

StepBrother. Great story. I couldn’t put it down!

Incredible!. Oh man what a book! Love it to the end!

Soooooo goood. I read this in 2 days I laughed and cried and I’d read it again

Gorgeous. I've read more of these books than I care to admit, but I can honestly say this is one of my favorites. It was heart wrenching in parts, and hilarious in others. A truly unique story line complete with a clever way to understand Elec's POV through his autobiography. I just loved it!

I loved it/my soul loved it!. I loved it so much! Evry part killed me thru de end I couldn't put it down, I could relate in so many ways I can't even explain it it's like reliving the life I once had. I want to thank You Penelope for a wonderful book, I loved it so much it hurts!!

Loved!. Great book! Enjoyed how the connection between Greta and Elec grew. Undeniable. Recommend this book.

Good book. Very good book great storyline.

Great book!. What a great book! This was my first book by Penelope and it will not be my last. 😀

Love it!!. 😊😍😍Love this book! It's a must read!

Fell in love with Elec. I don't usually read but oh my god, downloaded the first 72 pages and was hook. Had to buy the rest of the book and couldn't stop. I could just visualise each character as if they were real. I genuinely thought it was a real story, I'm now in love with Elec 💦

Ok. I enjoyed reading this book apart from the repetitiveness section from the guys point of view, this could of been done differently. Otherwise a good read!

OMG!. Absolutely loved this read. Was a bit sceptical at first as I had never read any of this authors books before, went on a review from Natasha is a book junkie. Bought as a holiday read, I was totally blown away, could not put this read down and was resorted to reading at 3 in the morning just to find out what would happen! If you never read anything else you MUST read this I laughed, cried and was an emotional wreck at the end! Al in all an absolutely fantastic read and have just bought the rest if Penelope's books....I know I won't be disappointed xxxx

A must read for everyone📖. I was completely captivated by this amazing book by page one. I found myself unable to put it down to do anything else resulting in my reading of the book in a day.

Step brother dearest. Aw love this book.. Gripped from page 1 to the end!

Amazing. Incredible... So sad it's finished

Phenomenal Read!. Beyond brilliant. Strong storyline, and amazing chcarcters. Female lead was the perfect combination of weak and strong as much as the lead male was. Great book!

Pretty average 😒. Not great , same old think it was pretty slow at times. Also it was repeated a lot from elecs point of view 👌

Great!. Love this book and the author!! Totally hooked after just a couple of pages. Easy to relate to the characters in this book. Overall 9/10

Wow. I loved this book and to be truthful I haven’t heard of Penelope ward until this book and another one I read. She has turned out to be my favourite author. She makes you feel like the character you’re reading about. My only words for this book is wow!

Stepbrother dearest is the ultimate. A heart rendering book of love and life's barriers, truly captivating that makes u feel the characters feeling perfectly, a roller coaster ride that you experience with every page turn , pulled heart stings, laughter and tears complete this amazing book, be warned once you pick this book up you never want to put it down

Great read. Love this book and the author

Loved. I loved this book. Definitely a must read!

True love. Great book, I was a bit sceptical of the heading at first but once I got reading you can see how it can work. The love they have for each other is beautiful. Lovely book good read.

Fantastic. Couldn't put it down stayed up till 4 am reading it. Great writing and a beautiful love story.

A Must Read. I loved this book and finished it in a day as i was unable to put it down. I loved the characters of Elec and Greta and wished it was a series and not a stand alone story as i will be sad to say goodbye. Definately a must read. It had me in tears with the longing Greta feels for Elec which is described so well in the writing by Penelope Ward. This is my frst book of hers that i have read and will definately not be the last.

Good read. Another great book from this author. ❤️

WOW. such a powerful book.amazingly written. Pulls you in right from the start.fell in love with the characters & didn't want it to end. Loved it 👍

Love it. Would recommend for young adults seeing I’m 18 loved it

Stepbrother Dearest. Omg I love this book, it was so moving that I cried, laugh and got angry. I want more of there story. I love the characters, you are such a wonderful writer. 😊👍

Wow!. It was my first experience with Penelope's books and I have to say it was a great one! I was unable to stop reading it, I spent two days entangled in Greta and Elec's story.

Not so great. The story was ok... But pretty predictable. The truly annoying part was the book from Elec towards the end..... There was maybe two or three parts that I didn't know about the story, and the rest was pages and pages of what I had just read.... It lost me there.... I couldn't wait to finish the book and get it over with. I'd say this book is more for teenagers. Sorry.

OMG. Great story, great characters. Heartbreak, love, laughs.... Loved his book! Definitely a must read.. xx

Love, love this book. Beautiful story that will have you turning page after page after page. Well written and super sexy love scenes.

Loved it. One of the best stories I've read in a while, couldn't put it down. Thoroughly enjoyed every moment, the author's writing style was fantastic. Can't wait to read more from her

Step brother dearest. This book is an amazing book for those people who like taboo books like myself. How ever I can’t get into the second book as much as this book. Penelope ward definitely needs to write more books as I love her work :)

Step Brother Dearest. This was the most unassuming read, I love all of Penelope’s books, however this book has been an unexpected favourite, I loved the characters and the way the story revealed their history and how they came to be, it kept you guessing till the very end. This book is a must read, so well written, it is a true unconventional love story (5 stars)

Unconventional Romance. Enjoy this step sibling tale complete with angst, emotions and lots of confusion. Life is full of ups and downs and more so when family is involved.

Wow, what a ride...... At first I thought it was going to be a tedious read because of the age of the characters, but hang in there, it evolves into one of the most romantic, and gut wrenching books I have read in a while. Loved it.....different and enthralling.

What a story!!!. Loved this book. You couldn't help but fall for both main characters. Well written.

Loved every word!. Such a great read... a heart warming romance that kept me hooked from the start! I felt so connected to the characters! Thank you :)

Elec & Greta. I enjoyed the story of Elec and Greta and recommend. There were parts I laughed out loud at and parts that made me cry. My heart broke for Elec and everything he went through in his life when his past was finally revealed. It was great seeing them come together, no matter how much time passed.

Steamy. Very steamy scenes and the story was very captivating, really enjoyed it.

Amazing. Crazy amazing couldn’t put it down

Wow. It made me cry and smile all along. I totally got the heroine and the part from his point of view was awesome too

Stepbrother Dearest. This was a beautiful and emotional story that I couldn't put down. I loved every single emotion the author made me feel. I will definitely be rereading this story over and over again.

Pretty good read. This was a pretty good read. It took some time to get going in my opinion but when it did I was unable to put it down.

Heart wrenching. Omg I cried like a baby.

Wow!. This was the first book I've read by this author and I must say she is a very talented author. I loved this book, it was so well written that you really felt what the characters were feeling. This was one hell of an emotional roller coaster, as a reader you get to laugh, love, cry, be sympathetic and feel angry. I definitely recommend this book!

Loved this book. I was very much like Greta where I couldn't put this book down and had to finish it!

Stepbrother Dearest. LOVED this book! Loved both Elec & Greta and their sweet yet heart breaking story. They both went through so much hardship in life and I felt sad for them. Amazing story.
