ARC Review of Snake by Emilia Beaumont

Wow, this story isn’t the same step brother stories out there. It is different and oh so tempting.
You have the MC- Devan & Mila- who are step siblings. Now this story isn’t the regular step brother story. This is oh soo much better and the twist in this story will hook you immediately.

Mila is single, she is funny, sweet and kind but in a bad situation because she is about to be kicked out of where she lives—she is super desperate , to the point of taking any job that will allow her to keep her place where she is and help her pay the bills . Devon is her step brother who is married to this horrible woman and they cannot have kids. They have tried but just cannot. Devon is so handsome and kind to his wife but she is a shrew and is just nasty. The wife can’t get pregnant but they want a baby so they need a surrogate—Can you imagine what is next? Mila ends up being the surrogate for Devan’s wife…and you really want to keep your eyes on the wife , trust me on this.

The only problem is Mila is secretly in love with Devan and has been for many years since their parents got married and is afraid that Devan’s wife will find out, especially since now she is living in their home. She tries to keep her attraction hidden. But unknown to Mila, Devan also has been secretly attracted to her as well for some time too and didn’t know how to let her know. The chemistry between these two jump off the page. I truly felt so bad for them, for the wasted time when they could have been together and for Devon’s nasty wife. My heart hurt for them both. There was some twists that came up after they spent a wonderful, amorous, glorious night together. I felt like they both were pulled apart and I was rooting for their HEA. Yes, with Devon being married, it could never be but they must and I rooted for them. When I read this story, a line from a song came to me and it seemed to be fit this story as if was written especially.. “Got my mind on your body/And your body on my mind/Got a taste for the cherry/Die for each other/Take me down into your paradise…”

This story has two people who are torn between duty and pleasure; torn between Love and Commitment. I couldn’t stop reading this book and was so said when this book was over. You will be hooked from the first paragraph. This isn’t your usual step brother story.

My rating: 4.6 stars ****
