Allie As soon as my mother marries my new stepdad, I’m told that I need to be careful around my step-brother, Killian. He has a criminal history, they say, so he’s dangerous for me to be around. And yet, when someone invades my space at the first college party I’ve ever been to, Killian is right there. He stepped in to save me without batting an eye. I’m not even sure where he came from, but no one has ever made me feel safe like he has. Something about that moment has me wanting to learn more about him. He can’t be all that dangerous to be around, can he? Killian My father has always been obsessed with appearances. That’s why we hardly ever talk. He doesn’t want to associate himself with a criminal, even if that criminal is his own son. He hasn’t even bothered to look and see that I’ve changed since I was young and reckless. When he invites me to dinner to meet his new wife and step-daughter, I wasn’t expecting to feel that reckless streak of mine act up. I can’t help it—meeting Allie, my new step-sister, has changed my life. I’m feeling things I’ve never felt for another person before, even though feeling them for her is forbidden. But even if she’s now a part of my family, I will stop at nothing to protect what’s mine. And that’s what she is, even if she doesn’t know mine.

Ніякого треша не побачила і добре. Миленька історія. Хлопець схожий на сталкера, але він здається 2 рази вже її захистив від одного того ж придурка. Власницька натура.
This is a short, spicy novella! It's about Killian and Allie who are new stepsiblings. Killian's family doesn't like him, they think he's a bad boy and a waste. They warn Allie about him and tell her to stay away. But of course, attraction and instalove hits, and they can't stay away from each other! I thought this story was really cute. I'm a sucker for forbidden romance, especially stepsiblings, so this one was right up my alley. I enjoyed it! Can't wait to see what Cassi Hart writes next. <3
SAFETY: Ages: 19h, 30H Virgin/celibate?: virgin heroine, not a manwhore hero OM/OW?: no Cheating/sharing?: no HEA? yes
Killian (MMC) is our once bad boy with tattoos. He’s not close to his father and there are bad feelings on both sides. . He meets Allie (MFC) at a dinner he’s invited to when his father marries Allies mother. Killian is instantly attracted to Allie as she is to him. His feeling of possessiveness and protectiveness toward Allie has him stealthily following her. His need to strongly to keep anything from hurting her. She is in college and agrees reluctantly to go to a frat party with a friend who hopes to gets some of the rich kids to buy her art. Things could have gotten nasty if Killian hadn’t been following her. He rushes in ready to beat the male down who dared lay a hand on what was his😁. She gently gets him to leave from there and they go somewhere to talk, I humm..maybe more😜. And so, we have an exciting and tantalizing story full of words like “mine” and “baby girl”…I highly recommend this book. Oh and of course it has a very happily ever after.❤️ BOOKSPROUT
Allie (19, virgin) isn't impressed when her mom gets married for like the third time. The newest husband comes with a son, Killian (30, mechanic, reformed criminal). Because Killian was a bad boy, he's be ostracized from the family fold, but Allie doesn't think he's so bad. Regardless, Killian isn't letting his new hot stepsister go. He starts stalking her (mild stalking IMO), and eventually they end up knocking boots.
For me, the stalking was a little too sweet and the sex was just ok. Killian is super adorable. I have a weakness for the name Killian, too. Anyway - I think a lot of you kinky pervs will enjoy it. 😜
Killian (H30) may have moved on from his reckless years, but his family still views him as a criminal and even goes so far as to warn his new stepsister, Allie (h19), of the danger he poses. She sees something more in him and finds herself secretly drawn to Killian, unaware that he fell instantly in love with her and is now obsessively watching over her. Killian is determined to protect Allie and make her his, regardless of how their family might react. Ultra-hot and steamy forbidden stalker quickie romance with a little bit of danger.
I liked it. I don’t think it was as good as the first book in the series but it was still enjoyable. Nothing too complicated. He meets his stepsister, has an immediate obsession with her, stalks her, she falls for him, is cool with the stalking. You know how it goes lol.
'Ella merece lo mejor en todo y yo no soy nada de eso. No soy más que una gran señal de alerta y ella... Bueno, ella es perfecta. Algo etéreo enviado a este mundo para torturarme.

Stepbrother’s Little Secret de Serie Dearly Devoted Series libro 2
Argumento:
Allie
Tan pronto como mi madre se casa con mi nuevo padrastro, me dicen que debo tener cuidado con mi hermanastro, Killian. Dicen que tiene antecedentes penales, por lo que es peligroso para mí estar cerca de él. Y, sin embargo, cuando alguien invade mi espacio en la primera fiesta universitaria a la que asistí, Killian está ahí. Él intervino para salvarme sin pestañear. Ni siquiera estoy segura de dónde vino, pero nadie me ha hecho sentir tan segura como él. Algo en ese momento me hace querer saber más sobre él. No puede ser tan peligroso estar cerca de él, ¿verdad?
Killian
Mi padre siempre ha estado obsesionado con las apariencias. Por eso casi nunca hablamos. No quiere asociarse con un criminal, incluso si ese criminal es su propio hijo. Ni siquiera se ha molestado en mirar y ver que he cambiado desde que era joven e imprudente. Cuando me invita a cenar para conocer a su nueva esposa y a su hijastra, no esperaba sentir esa veta imprudente mía actuando mal. No puedo evitarlo: conocer a Allie, mi nueva hermanastra, ha cambiado mi vida. Siento cosas que nunca antes había sentido por otra persona, aunque sentirlas por ella está prohibido. Pero incluso si ahora ella es parte de mi familia, no me detendré ante nada para proteger lo que es mío. Y eso es lo que ella es, aunque ella no lo sepa: mía.
Mi humilde opinión:
Allie, 19, universitaria conoce a Killian, 30, dueño de una taller mecánico, guapo y llevo de tatuajes. Su madre y padrastro le dicen que él es problemas pero ella sabe que lo que sea que haya hecho está en el pasado, Killian ha hecho su propio camino y merece una oportunidad. Le ha demostrado ser un héroe cuando la rescata de un borracho en una fiesta de fraternidad. Ahora ella no puede evitar caer enamorada de él un poco más cada vez que lo ve...
Este es un romance rápido, amor prohibido, hermanastros, chico malo, chica buena, Instalove, diferencia de edad. Sentí que faltó algo a esta historia para dejarme contenta del todo pero estuvo bien. La historia se lee rápido sin angustia innecesaria, con algo de drama por los padres de los protagonistas y con un final feliz para cerrar.

I already love Cassi Hart and she is one of my favorite quick easy read authors, but lately I feel like her writing gets better with each book. The plots for her stories are original and intriguing with incredible substance. They do not only center around hot steamy scenes, but rather have a depth and purpose to the couples story. I know when I begin reading one of Cassi's books that I won't be putting it down until I have read the last page. She engages me and has my complete attention. The characters are wonderful and I can't help but love them. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the Dearly Devoted Series.
Killian and Alley's parents just recently got married and have a family dinner to introduce the stepsiblings to one another.

I will say I very much enjoyed Cassi’s Stalker series so this was right up my alley + add in a little taboo & it makes for a hot as heck story! *fans self*
I really liked the MMC, he clearly has had a rough life after losing his mother then his father essentially disowning him and the FMC was great because she had a real back bone and stood up for him because he wasn’t being treated well by his family due to the past mistakes of a troubled teen.
I loved their instant connection and how he was ALWAYS there when she needed him (made easy for him because he was literally everywhere she went).
The love scenes were scorching hot and I couldn’t get enough 😉
The ONLY thing that kept this from being a 5 star is that it really felt like a chapter before the epilogue was missing. The jump from last chapter to epilogue was too abrupt.
Otherwise, this was a fantastic story and one of my new favs from this author!
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review. The opinions above are 100% my own & 100% genuine!
This super quick, steamy read is a walking, talking trope check list; age gap, step-brother, virgin female lead, stalker, this book has it all and more.
When Killian and Allie are first introduced neither of them can deny their attraction to the other but when Allie’s mother warns her away from having any kind of relationship with her new step-brother Killian all she does is make the forbidden seem even more tempting.
Killian is older by 11 years and has a criminal past that makes him seem dangerous and the author does add to this image of making him seem slightly unhinged as he’s ultra-possessive, OTT and very much touch her and die as he stalks her from the shadows. As sweet and innocent as Allie is, she’s not completely stupid, and see’s more than just the original danger in Killian, she recognises that there is a softer side and he’s only too keen to show that to her.
These short reads are easy-going, enjoyable and make a great palate cleanser when you just want a lighter read with a naughty edge.
Killian has been told he is a waste of space, a bad boy and to be avoided since he was young. He knows he is a little rough around the edges but at 30 he works hard and stays on the right side of the law. When he meets his father's new wife and his new step sister Allie (19) his heart starts to beat and he has a new purpose. It's wrong, it's taboo and he tries to stay away but Allie is his.
Cassie is bringing us a reformed bad boy, age gap romance with stalker themes and I am here for it. Short, steamy and full of that instalove we all crave, this is a great little read. Allie is college student and meets her new step brother, Killian. She is immediately drawn to him even though she knows she shouldn’t . Her mom and stepdad try to warn her about his bad boy ways but she can’t help her feelings. Killian instantly wants to protect her and begins to stalk her to make sure she is safe.
This is a dual POV short and steamy taboo romance by Cassi Hart. I enjoyed this quick read, it was quite explicit so not for the easily embarrassed.

In this story we find out if the taboo aspect is too much or if they can’t fight their feelings. Another brilliant steamy romance from Cassi Hart, perfect I’d you want a short and sexy read.

💌 Stepbrother Romance 💌 Age Gap 💌 Stalking (safe) 💌 Virgin h 💌 Instalove
𝑴𝒀 𝑹𝑬𝑽𝑰𝑬𝑾: 📝
This one was a quick snack bite read but filled with spice and forbidden vibes.
When Killian's father gets married again, he has no interest in playing the happy family picture. That is until he lays eyes on his new step-sister and in an instant, his entire world changes.
Killian might be considered as the black sheep of the family but Allie refuses to believe the rumours especially when she sees how her saviour at a party turns out to be none other than the hot new stepbrother.
We have insta chemistry and the 🔥 times definitely make you melt.
If you're in the mood for a book quickie 😉, then this one would be perfect.
...found out about a new Author - Cassi Hart and her new story Stepbrother's Little Secret... 😏 I inhaled this short & *spicy* insta-love tale between Killian & Allie! It has all my faves to enjoy - an obsessive (but also sweet) stalker, age-gap romance (11 yr difference), possessive male making it all about his virgin woman & her comfort in all things, a lil taboo vibes with Killian & Allie briefly being step-siblings. 🥵🔥💋 It is a quick read, but packs a punch with the backstory & sex scenes between Killian & Allie. A very enjoyable read to escape with for awhile. I definitely look forward to the next story from Cassi!
I tend to enjoy this trope, so naturally, it caught my attention. The fact that this was a Cassi Hart book only piqued my interest. Killian is a cast away son due to his pass as a thief and trouble maker. Only Allie, his stepsister does not pass judgment on him. Upon meeting, Killian immediately falls for Allie and begins stalking her to ensure her safety. Which she does need at a couple of frat parties. I loved getting to know these characters and rooting for them even though it was a taboo relationship. Cassi does an excellent job with this book! I could not get enjoyment ugh of Allie and Killian! A definite MUST READ!!! I am voluntarily leaving this review.
Y'all! I love this book so much. Allie and Killian are SO meant to be. I love a good stalker romance, and this one is so good. It's forbidden/taboo romance with stalking tendencies, and MY GOD, it's everything right now. When Killian meets Allie for the first time, she is introduced as his new step sister, but tht doesn't stop him from making sure she's safe everywhere she goes. Allie suspects that there's more to Killian than what meets the eye, and soon finds out that he is super protective of her. Their romance is super fast and so steamy. If you love stalker romances with a male main character that will do absolutely anything for his girl, this book is for you!
Killian is the black sheep of the family aka for his father. He now meets his new stepmother and his new stepsister Allie. He sees Allie and is instantly obsessed with her and he just knows she will be his, who cares what others think. Allie thinks Killian won't be interested, but when he saves her from a drunk frat boy things change. These two fell head over heels for each other and nothing could stop Killian from keeping his woman safe. Instalove, age gap, stepbrother/stepsister romance, romantic ,sweet, steamy and safe (I got the dual virgins vibe, but it's not really mentioned) with a sweet HEA 😍😍😍😍and a bit family drama😉
A steamy quick read about Allie and Kilian. Killian is not liked by his father because of all the bad things he’s done in his life. But when he meets his new stepsister Allie, something inside snaps. Allie can’t stop thinking about Killian and can’t believe that he’s really all the bad things that she been told. The more time she spends with Killian the more gentle side she sees. She’s convinced that she can show him how worthy he is of her love and hopefully be loved by him in return. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I liked this story a lot. It was entertaining and enjoyable for the most part. Lori was really judgmental but I loved how Allie let her know what was what. Allie and Killian met during an introductory dinner after their parents had married. Killian fell hard for Allie immediately. He was positive that she was his and he had to protect her. Allie was drawn to Killian despite warnings about him. They were sweet together but also hot. I loved their happily ever after. I recommend reading this book.
Short steamy read about forbidden love. Killian is an ex convict who made a lot of mistakes as a youth. He is a changed man but father refuses to see who he is now. Allie is his new step sister. She has been warned to stay away from Killian they both know it’s wrong but can’t ignore the pull they gave to each other. Expect forbidden stepbrother, age gap, ex bad boy, alpha male protector, steam and instalove.

This is book 2 of Dearly Devoted series. I just love this series and I want more from this series. I love the connection and the chemistry between the characters. Allie and Killian are step siblings, and their attraction is over the charts. They fought for each other, and they won. It tool Allie to stand up to her mother but it was a great story.

This is another fun and steamy OTT romance. Killian has become obsessed with his new step-sister, Allie, to the point of following her around when he can. And good thing since he's able to save her from a couple of bad situations. These two had fab chemistry and really were meant to be together, despite their parents' views. I love that she was able to see the man he was now and accept that he has become more than his youthful self.
This is a fast-paced instalove romance novella that is super sweet and high in steam! Killian meets Allie (his new stepsister) and immediately falls head over heels. Allie’s warned about Killian but it’s clear she finds herself drawn to him. Killian starts stalking her and is determined to make her his… forever. When an opportunity arises to protect Allie, he takes it, and never looks back. Loved this so much!
Stepbrother’s Little Secret is a sexy shades of gray short story. Very well written, with realistic characters and plot line, this book addresses what some may consider forbidden attraction between an older step brother and a younger step sister (all characters are of age). Author Cassi Hart has created another steamy short that pushes the envelope and provides an excellent power hour story.

Allie had been warned to stay clear of her new Stepbrother Killian, but when Killian steps into her aid, she feels safe with him. Killian becomes obsessed with Allie at first sight and will do anything to keep her safe and his, not matter how forbidden a relationship would be.. Well written steamy forbidden desires age gap, romance
The story has some stalker vibes, but I looked at it like he's a bodyguard: he always comes to the rescue. I can't quite keep the smile to myself whenever I think he's always just around the corner from her. He's pretty obsessed with her, the j/p kind, but he's mush when it comes to her.
He's pretty likable when it comes to her but scary when it comes to others.
