BAD ROMANCE
A Stepbrother Novel
Jen McLaughlin
Releasing Sept 15th, 2015
Seven years in the army will change a guy. But after a shoulder wound ends his career as a sniper, Jackson Worthington finds himself back home, fighting a battle that’s all too familiar: keeping his hands off Lily Hastings. She’s still her rich daddy’s little angel, innocent, impossibly lovely, as squeaky-clean as Jackson is dirty. And she’s still his stepsister—forbidden but not forgotten, not after the soul-melting kiss that got him kicked out of the house at eighteen. He couldn’t resist her then. How the hell can he resist her now?
Lily is about to marry a man she doesn’t love, and commit to a high-stress job she hates, all to please the father who controls every waking moment of her life. On top of everything, her teenage crush is back, with a sleek, chiseled body and a trace of the rebellious boy whose lips sealed her fate. Jackson’s timing couldn’t be worse . . . or better. Because Lily’s all grown up, too. She’s aching for another taste. And for the first time, she’s ready to be a bad girl.

She lives in Northeast Pennsylvania with her four kids, a husband, a schnauzer mutt, and three cats. Her goal is to write so many well-crafted romance books that even a non-romance reader will know her name.
ALPHA BOOK CLUB REVIEW
Title: Bad Romance: A Stepbrother Romance
Author: Jen McLaughlin
Genre: Step Romance
“This was the kind of woman who, even as a teenage, had embraced a guy like me. Who had written letter after letter, without any sign of encouragement from me, and had done so simply to make me aware she cared about me. Who had loved me, when I clearly didn’t deserve that love. Who continued to love me, even when I didn’t write back to her. A boy she barely knew.”
3 stars. I had high hopes for this book, because normally I love this genre, but I feel like it’s lacking something. Overall, the story was good, but like I said it was lacking.

I won’t lie I didn’t finish this story, I just couldn’t get into it and I never really felt anything for the characters, which is unfortunate since I love this genre.
