“I don't know what the future holds or anything like that. I don't know if it'll work. But I know that when you find someone that makes you think about the future that way, you have to jump with both feet, and give it a shot.”



Motorcycle racer Gaige has had the hots for his step-sister Delaney Marlowe for the past four years. She has finally returned home to Texas and he plans to finish what they started four years earlier.

Delaney Marlowe is finally back in Texas. She has accepted a job offer from her father at Marlowe Oil and is eager to start. What she doesn’t expect is to see Gaige at her father’s house. They shared a summer fling four years earlier and she almost made the huge mistake of giving herself to him, until she learned exactly how much of a player he really was. Angry and heartbroken, she left, went off to college and hasn’t seen him since, until now.

Like Prick, this book is about adult step-siblings who have found they share a strong sexual desire for each other. Tool was similar to Prick in many ways. The protaganists share the same desire that some consider taboo, but find a way to be together. Both male alphas are just dirty man-whores who are turned on by the only good girls in their lives.

The taboo aspect of the series was intriguing during the first book, but became blasé halfway through this book. Delaney and Gaige are fun characters and their relationship is uncomfortable as Delaney tries to come to terms with her attraction for Gaige. I found both characters pretty predictable, yet still enjoyable. The Anya and Chelsea characters were total bitches, and I don’t understand why the guys mothers in both books so far are so damned nasty. I was surprised that Delaney’s father accepted their relationship so easily. I thought for sure that Gaige was in for an ass whupping.

I enjoyed reading Prick and Tool, and will read Cannon, but the whole step-sibling in love thing maybe should have just been one book instead of a series. I hope Cannon is going to have something amazingly different to change my mind. Oh…and I loved the dominant dirty talk that is a thread through this series. So damned titillating! While the theme is getting a bit worn, this is still an entertaining read, if for nothing but the hot sex scenes. If you are looking for a little bit of naughty, and do not mind the theme, this is the series for you.
