The Billionaire Stepbrother

Written by Emma Lea

Narrated by Amy Soakes

Bailey Sheppard had loved Nick Heart for as long as she could remember. They had been best friends in school and graduated to a friends-with-benefits arrangement after she left for university. His once-a-month visits, when she would have him all to herself for the weekend, were the highlight of her life.

And then he told her he was getting married.

Bailey needed Nick in her life. She wanted to be the one he married and lived happily ever after with. So she hatched a plan to stop the wedding and steal the groom. And then she met Hunter.

Hunter Green, the reclusive aviation billionaire, offers to act as her boyfriend to help her put a stop to the wedding. But his beautiful green eyes and the way he makes her feel when he touches her causes her to question her loyalty and feelings towards Nick. Oh ... and he just happens to be Nick's stepbrother.

Now Bailey has to make a choice: Take a chance on a new relationship with a billionaire, or stay the course and reach for the happily ever after she's always imagined?

Reviews for The Billionaire Stepbrother

[cmcd27 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Great story and good characters. No mention of sequels? I prefer ebooks to audio because the narration is 99% not great. This was ok although entirely female narrated, weird when it comes to male parts.

Wonderful book, good narration also. The characters are really explosive together. You will love how it all works out. Very romantic!

[Crissann Lyn · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This was good, I do felt like some parts were repetitive but then again it is fiction. Overall good to pass the time, not horrible storylines

Enjoyed the book. However, the back and forth did drive me crazy a little.

[Rachel Gray · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I agree with another reviewer that this was ok. Steamy scenes between the main characters and an interesting enough plot line.

[zenaida2014 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was cute, steamy and funny. You should definitely give this a go!

A new series that I’ll be hooked up too ❤️❤️❤️ I love love this book. Fast love but still ❤️❤️
I like the fact Bailey’s character, strong assured but still vulnerable ❤️❤️

The narrator is so nasally/whiney that sounds immature. The story was good, specifically Hunter's character. I just wish they had two different narrators on Male & Female characters.

[Mariah · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

What an absolutely awful narrator, I couldn’t even make it through the first chapter.

[Russ and Sarah Huffman · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great story. The narrator annoyed me Bc she sounded whiny, but I enjoyed the story.

[Jade Sais · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

The main character came off too whiny for my taste.

[Renée Holland · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

I got through 1.58 before I switched off. The storyline seems like it would be a good one, but the narrator is horrendous!!!

[lia stoia · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

Storyline amazing… narration—very bad… her voice is toooooooo sweet. P

[Tamika Johnson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great story! I love Hunter and Bailey together and looking forward to reading about the rest of Hunter's friends

[Nicole Hattingh · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Why does he even like her? She gets drunk and does stupid things the entire book through.

[Gisela · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Awesome story. I absolutely enjoyed it from start to finish!!!

[Rochelle · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Couldn't get past chapter 2 The narrator was too much I couldn't even focus on the story line because of the narrator

[Melissa Odlum · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Storyline was good but the narrator was terrible, nearly put me off listening.

[Amy · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I did not love the narrator but the book was good

[kim hill · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

The narration was so badly squeeky and whiney i could not listen past half of the 1st chapter therefore have zero idea of whether this was a good story or not.

[kirsty auwema · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

Only made it through maybe 5-10 minutes of it. The narrator was horrid and i couldnt keep listening

[Shyann Van · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I really enjoyed the love story here. I really wished the author would have played on how smart Bailey is instead of making her seem like a heavy drinker. It really turned around though and I came to adore both characters !

[Bill Hair · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This story contains probably the most horrible h ever written.... Bar none!

On the plus side, I enjoyed the storyline and will read the next book in the series.

On the negative side...

1. The h is beyond pathetic. Her monthly hookup friend announces that he is marrying another woman but he wants to keep the h as his periodic hookup... and she is OK with this. Really... WTF!

2. Nearly 3 of the first 5 hours of the story is completely repetitive with the h whining about getting her piece of shit hookup back. It is absolutely constant and I had to skip forward so my head would not explode. HOW CAN SOMEONE BE THIS OBLIVIOUS TO REALITY!!!

3. The h slowly realizes that she loves the H and that the POS is not worth her time. In between, she is willing to meet him in her hotel room to talk. The H tells her that the POS just wants to use her for sex and she gets mad at him. Low and behold, he just wants sex. She let's him kiss her before she tells him no.

Towards the end, she wants to tell him that she loves him; however, she cannot find 2 minutes to tell him... which leads to the final conflict.

This story would have been much better without the massively repetitive whining and internal dialog from the h - which would have made the story 5.5 - 6 hours instead of 8.25 hours.
