My five stepbrothers love playing games...and I'm their favorite toy.When I fly cross-country, I'm expecting my dad to be at the airport to collect me. Instead, I'm faced with five huge stepbrothers who've tripled in size since I last saw them. Jameson, Jessie, and Joshua are triplets with wicked green eyes and bodies made for games. Their younger twin brothers, Kyle and Kameron are even bigger with piercing blue eyes and thighs so thick I practically swoon.They're sexy as sin, but still the same assholes they were when we were kids. All they care about is football and making my life a misery with their practical jokes and snide comments. Then my friend Sara tells me I need to turn the tables. She encourages me to use my feminine powers to distract them from their games. She tells me the rumors she's heard about them, huge things I definitely don't want to know but keep me awake at night, aching.I'm not convinced until I give it a try and see the filthy gleam in their eyes. It's definitely not the way they should be looking at their stepsister!Then I overhear Kyle and Kameron talking. They have a secret that is about to turn this game upside down, but I'm playing to win, whatever the cost.This is a standalone mega menage/reverse harem romance. It involves MMFMMM situations with a very happy ever after ending. Well, there are five men involved! It's part of the Huge Series; standalone romances with lots of HUGE goodness to link them all. Read in any order! No cliffhangers. No cheating.

Hello my friendly readers! I am excitedly sharing my first professional review. Enjoy!INDIE READER REVIEW: 4.7/5.0!!!! (https: //indiereader.com/2019/01/tale-of-two-brothers/)Verdict: There's a lot for readers to like in author Daniel Fernández Masís' fusion of suspense and insight into the human condition in the TALE OF TWO BROTHERS, attempting to stop a deranged despot in the aftermath of a natural cataclysm that decimates natural resources across earth.In the aftermath of a natural cataclysm that decimated natural resources across earth, two brothers set up camp in an abandoned area of what was once the United States. Due to the paucity of resources, the brothers face unimaginable perils each day from marauders and herds of gangs pillaging anything in their path. Paranoia and adrenaline are constant realities for the two brothers; peace is a mirage.One day, one of the brothers, Jay, is kidnapped by a renegade gang, which is capturing and enslaving as many people as they can in an effort to gain control of the region. Nathan, the other brother, plots to save Jay and meets Silver, a sort of femme fatale, who is about as good at combat as the guys are. Eventually, all three plot a rebellion against the marauding gang, led by a thug named Cold, who is seeking a national tyranny of sorts and burning villages that oppose him. The last part of the book-which on occasion descends into rambling action scenes-feels almost like a flashback to Vietnam, but in an Americanized milieu.Author Daniel Fernández Masís imbues his prose throughout TALE OF TWO BROTHERS with indelible internal soliloquies by the characters, ones that are both stirring battle cries for human freedom, but also valuable insights into humanity coerced into extreme conditions. This is a dystopia, no doubt, but it is not one without hope, and this sense of fatalistic optimism carries the book beyond its depressing and often brutal surroundings. "When death seems to hover over you every day, people will heartbreakingly let go of the possibility of change," Masís writes . "But hope never vanishes completely. Thoughts and feelings deep within our minds and souls hang on, in solitude, to the notion of life without restraints and violence."There's a lot for readers to like in author Daniel Fernández Masís' fusion of suspense and insight into the human condition in the TALE OF TWO BROTHERS, attempting to stop a deranged despot in the aftermath of a natural cataclysm that decimates natural resources across earth.

There's nothing worse than a rotten redheaded older brother who can do everything you can do better! Patricia's brother Richard could run the fastest, climb the highest, and spit the farthest and still smile his extra-rotten, greeny-toothed, weasel-eyed grin. But when little Patricia wishes on a shooting star that she could do something—anything—to show him up, she finds out just what wishes—and rotten redheaded older brothers—can really do. Patricia Polacco's boldly and exuberantly painted pictures tell a lively and warmhearted tale of comic one-upsmanship and brotherly love.

Divorcing the devil landed me in between two demons. When my ex-husband threatened to destroy everything I'd worked for, I sought help from an old flame. Sawyer was less than thrilled to be my attorney, so I sweetened the deal by promising him the one thing he truly wanted... revenge against my ex's lawyer... Sawyer's stepbrother. Sawyer Prince and Pierce Samuels were stepbrothers with a past and dueling law firms, on top of their contempt for each other. The scheme was simple. I bring down Sawyer's brother, Pierce, and we'd make my ex pay in court. But before I knew it, I found myself tangled in the lives and sheets of two powerful men. I was crossing major lines by not only sleeping with my own attorney... but with Pierce Samuels, the opposing counsel, as well. When feelings become involved and the truth is stranger than fiction... things heat up in the bedroom and the courtroom. Court is in session and my knees are weak as three men stare at me on the stand, hungry for different things... What will the judge rule, and what will I decide when secret alliances are revealed?

Stepfamilies are not a modern phenomenon, but despite this reality, the history of stepfamilies in America has yet to be fully explored. In the first book-length work on the topic, Lisa Wilson examines the stereotypes and actualities of colonial stepfamilies and reveals them to be important factors in early United States domestic history. Remarriage was a necessity in this era, when war and disease took a heavy toll, all too often leading to domestic stress, and cultural views of stepfamilies during this time placed great strain on stepmothers and stepfathers. Both were seen either as unfit substitutes or as potentially unstable influences, and nowhere were these concerns stronger than in white middle-class families, for whom stepparents presented a paradox. Wilson shares the stories of real stepfamilies in early New England, investigating the relationship between prejudice and lived experience, and, in the end, offers a new way of looking at family units throughout history and the cultural stereotypes that still affect stepfamilies today.

The multitalented writers, directors, producers, and actors (as seen on The League, Transparent, and The Mindy Project) share the secrets of their lifelong partnership in this unique memoir. “A book that anyone will love . . . You can enjoy it even if you have no idea who the Duplass brothers are.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times Whether producing, writing, directing, or acting, the Duplass Brothers have made their mark in the world of independent film and television on the strength of their quirky and empathetic approach to storytelling. Now, for the first time, Mark and Jay take readers on a tour of their lifelong partnership in this unique memoir told in essays that share the secrets of their success, the joys and frustrations of intimate collaboration, and the lessons they’ve learned the hard way. From a childhood spent wielding an oversized home video camera in the suburbs of New Orleans to their shared years at the University of Texas in early-nineties Austin, and from the breakthrough short they made on a three-dollar budget to the night their feature film Baghead became the center of a Sundance bidding war, Mark and Jay tell the story of a bond that’s resilient, affectionate, mutually empowering, and only mildly dysfunctional. They are brutally honest about how their closeness sabotaged their youthful romantic relationships, about the jealousy each felt when the other stole the spotlight as an actor (Mark in The League, Jay in Transparent), and about the challenges they faced on the set of their HBO series Togetherness—namely, too much togetherness. But Like Brothers is also a surprisingly practical road map to a rewarding creative partnership. Rather than split all their responsibilities fifty-fifty, the brothers learned to capitalize on each other’s strengths. They’re not afraid to call each other out, because they’re also not afraid to compromise. Most relationships aren’t—and frankly shouldn’t be—as intense as Mark and Jay’s, but their brand of trust, validation, and healthy disagreement has taken them far. Part coming-of-age memoir, part underdog story, and part insider account of succeeding in Hollywood on their own terms, Like Brothers is as openhearted and lovably offbeat as Mark and Jay themselves. “Wright. Ringling. Jonas. I’m sure you could name a bunch of famous brother teams. They’re all garbage compared to Mark and Jay. I can’t wait for you to read this book.”—from the foreword by Mindy Kaling
