Not come back and leave you all over again. The “one that got away” was suposed to stay away, After he left, it took 7 years and a tragedy to bring them back together and they were forced to face and resolved the unfinished business from 7 years ago. The last night he was there, things happened and the aftermath broke her. But as things progressed he had to suddenly return home. Over time he learned to (barely) open up to Greta.

He always had a problem with his dad and the only way he knew how to cope with it was by acting out. Yes, he was 17 with tattoos and pierced all over including you know where! But he’s also a major prick. Elec’s mum had a job abroad for a year so Elec reluctantly had to endure living with people that he hated.Įlec was a problem for Greta because not only he was “So… fucking… hot.”.

The story revolved around Greta whose life changed after her stepbrother Elec came to live with her family when she was 17. “I’ve been ready since the day I walked in the door, took one look at you and realized I was fucked.” The relationship might be weird, but not exactly taboo. It turned out, this was a pretty good read. I’ve never read Penelope Ward’s works before so I didn’t have any idea how the book was going to be. It sounds illicit and dirty and oh so tempting. She tied everything together flawlessly and I will definitely be checking out more of her work in the future.I have to admit, the first thing that got my attention to this book was the title. Despite all this, I actually really liked the book,and the authors writing style. Why doesn't your mom come visit YOU, so you don't have to leave your VERY pregnant wife? Yep, not of a fan I this guy at all, and Greta is too stupid for words. Really? The fact he missed his son's birth to visit his mom, speaks volumes in itself. I can't respect a woman who lets a man treat her like dirt because he is 'incredibly hot' and 'drool worthy'. I understand he was a naive teenager in the beginning, but as an adult his behavior with her was even worse. Elec is a self absorbed momma's boy the whole book, and he treated Greta like a dog ninety percent of. The writing is fantastic and despite not liking the main characters I still wanted to keep reading. Review 2: I think I would have given this five stars, if I hadn't disliked the Elec and Greta so much. Oh my goodness, I loved it, so much that it got added to my 'favorites' folder on my kindle, which is kind of a big deal. I needed a break from bikers and super bad boys (because trust me, Elec is still kind of a bad boy), so I gave it a try. I saw the good ratings, but the whole stepbrother/stepsister thing was kinda weird.

Review 1: Let me just say, I did not have high expectations for this book.
