LoganFrom the moment we met, I despised Leah as much as she hated me. It only made matters worse when my mother became involved with her father. So, ten years ago, I moved away. But when I come back for the big anniversary party, the rivalry has disappeared and we’re being congratulated for putting aside our differences. What they don’t know is that if I get my way, tonight we’ll be sharing a … sharing a room…
Leah
From the moment we met, I did everything to get Logan’s attention. All that he’d direct toward me were mean pranks often leaving me in tears. Even when he left for ten years, I still tried to get his attention. It took me a long time before I finally gave up. When Logan shows up unannounced for the big anniversary party, I expect the worst case of rivalry yet, but instead, we’re actually getting along, and everyone is thrilled. And when I end up finding out the truth of why he is back, it shocks me to my core

What happens when you high school crush becomes your stepbrother?
Bad Company is the first book that I have read by S.L. Sterling and I was intrigued as it sounded like it was more than just the usual step-sibling story. And I was right. Sure it started that way but it ended up going through some different routes before it ended in the HEA.
Logan is a couple of years older than Leah when they first encounter each other in high school. Or should I say Leah runs into Logan and saves her from falling on her butt. Of course Logan is a football star, in the most popular crowd, dates the head cheerleader who is beautiful and just dang sexy. So what does Leah do but of course crush on him to no end. Over the next summer Logan’s mom and Leah’s Dad start dating but neither of the kids know that the other person is the parent of each other. They marry just before the next school year begins.and move into a new house…………..one big happy family not so much. Poor Leah envisions that Logan will look out for her as a big brother because she knows that nothing can happen. Logan however has other issues. It turns out that Logan was also secretly yearning of Leah after that initial “crash” and he knows he cannot live with her under the same roof without either taking her or making her life miserable so she hates him. As this is Logan’s senior year he does everything he can think of, including a gifting Leah a purple vibrator for her birthday, but Leah is still always nice to him and tries to cover for him. Let’s just say that if he was my kid his ass would have been permanently scarred after he created a fake dating account for her with some more than candid pictures so all the creeps started emailing lewd things to her.
But after that year Logan heads off to school in Boston barely ever comes back home for a visit. Leah in the mean time continues to crush on him secretly as she finishes high school, goes to a local college for interior design and works for a local firm. The story then picks up 10 years later when Leah is planning the parents 10 year anniversary party. Something happens, or lack of something actually, that brings Logan back home for the party. After the party Logan and Leah end up having a celebration themselves at his hotel. But Logan being dumbass man ruins things the next morning and things go down hill from there for him. But Leah has an epiphany and realizes that Logan will never see her as anything serious or with a future together so she makes a decision to let go of her teenage crush. Plus she got a great new job at a large design company based in Boston. But she keeps the location secret from Logan as who wants to be bothered with the past popping up when you have a new start on the future. Things are not quite that simple again as the fates bring them together in a professional manner and then things kick off even more.
I enjoyed reading Bad Company as i found the story engaging, entertaining, funny, sad, I shed a few tears at some of the trauma felt by Leah and I cheered when she made some smart decision. Both main characters, Leah and Logan, were well developed and written. Even when you hate Logan for part of the story a bit later you get into his POV and can soften a bit, but he really is a big dumbass (being PC her as otherwise I would write much worse)!
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
This is the 4th book I’ve read written by S.L. Sterling; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I will definitely be reading more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

Leah has lived Logan since high school where she used to make eyes at him.Logan really liked Leah but hasn’t found the way to ask her out.She was special so he thought he should take it slow but Then When his mom said they were having dinner he thought it would be Chinese and a good movie on Netflix .But she said they were meeting her boyfriend and his daughter.When they were having dinner,when his mother and her father said they were getting married .Now the girl of his hottest dreams is his stepsister.He makes her life almost. miserable before he leaves for college.That night he comes out of the shower with a very small towel wrapped around him runs right into Leah grabs her to keep her from falling but his towel fell leaving him standing before her naked and aroused.He kissed her mouth like a starving man.She kissed him back but then ran into her room an didn’t even say goodbye when he left.Leah wrote snarky letters to him every holiday.This time she emailed him asking him to come home for their parents anniversary.He went to the mail box an looked for his letter but there wasn’t one.He looked his flight an decided to go tell her he wants his letterPress are so many twists and turns to this story will keep you riveted until the very last page.I love the way this amazing author brings the characters to life before your eyes and makes you feel their emotions and their pain.I can hardly wait to see what’s next by this multi talented author.
She has always had the hots for him, but when he becomes her stepbrother no one can know. He has felt the same way and neither of them know the other likes them. He has to make her hate him. How else can he live in the same house with her and not touch her. The weekend before he goes to college he kisses her, but she runs to her room. They don’t see each other for ten years. All during this time they have measured others up to the other. Their longing for each other finally can last no longer and they act on their feelings. But can it last? Does it last? This story has many moments that are tear-jerkers but has a really good ending.

Logan and Leah hate each other when their parents get married. Sparks fly between them and when Logan doesn’t respond to Leah’s letters she decides to move on. When Logan doesn’t receive his letter, he decides to come home for their parent’s anniversary party to check on her and this time he doesn’t plan on staying away. Steamy chemistry, great characters and an entertaining story. I liked it.
This was an interesting take on the stepbrother romance trope. Logan didn’t start off loving Leah, that’s for sure. Everything happened at a more “natural” pace as opposed to a sped-up love story. I’d definitely read more books by this author!

I loved the journey this couple went on. It was such an amazing story from the very beginning. It was simply astounding. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
This was my first S.L. Sterling book, I liked the overall premise for a stepbrother/forbidden romance story, but for me the dialogue just didn’t have a natural flow and that sort of took away my enjoyment of the story.
Logan and Leah knew each other in high school, but things changed between them when their parents began dating and got married. Of course neither child was thrilled with the new situation, but I swear Logan acted like a 3-year old instead of a young man on the verge of graduating and going to college. I was shocked that of the couple of pranks we learn that he pulled on Leah, didn’t get into more trouble, especially the fake online profile.
There was plenty of push and pull between Leah and Logan once they’re back in the same orbit 10 years later, although Logan didn’t have the right reaction to what went down between them; I didn’t blame Leah for not wanting Logan to know where she was after she scored a new job. Of course that new job led to them once again having to be around each other, and big props to Leah for wanting to keep it on a professional level only.
I was surprised that it was Logan who spilled the beans to his mom about what went down between them and his feelings for Leah, but I liked that he did it, and wanted the help he needed when it came to Leah. I liked the way the story wrapped up for these two, and I would like to read this author’s work in the future, if the dialogue could have a more natural flow.
Thank you for the chance really loved this book it’s one of the many stories that I’ve read by S.L Sterling . I love the heart the author brings into her stories she really draws every emotion out to were you feel everything that the characters are going through . The couples really share alot of chemistry the back and forth they share was just intense . I can’t wait to read more by the author in the future and so hoping to read more by the author.

This is a pretty hot step-brother/sister story. This story of Leah and Logan starts as enemies, and smolders…
This story has heat, great characters, and a really good storyline. There is hatred, vengeance, lust, and heartbreak. Overall I really liked this story…I didn’t care for how mean Logan was to Leah…and Leah still liked him. That is not “my” thing. However, I love author S.L. Sterling’s writing style and flow and would recommend this one because everything else was great! 4.5 stars!
I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I really enjoyed this story about Leah and Logan. She’s been eyeing him at school, he’s a year older and just so cute. When Logan sees Leah at school he’s drawn to her, but didn’t talk to her. She admires him from afar. When her dad starts to date Anna, she feels like she is losing him. Logan feels the same way when his mom starts to date Joe. So image their surprise when right before his senior year, his mom and Joe have him meet Leah for dinner, only to be told how and Anna are getting married and Leah will be his sister. Leah and Logan are stuck. He turns his feelings for her into teasing and mocking. Leah still tries to be nice. Every holiday Leah writes a letter to Logan about how much he is missing to taunt him, for ten years. Now present day, Leah plans a anniversary party and invites Logan, but he hasn’t responded. Since it’s close to Valentine’s day Logan decides to come home and claim his letter. Things spark between them. Confused about her feelings, after the party she confronts Logan, but they end up revealing their feelings and sleep together. But the next morning he regrets it since they can’t be together. Leah moves away and tries to forget. But neither can. Can they have a HEA or will it just ruin everything?

This was a great book! I loved the story of Logan and Leah. Logan’s mom and Leah’s dad get married. That stuck Logan and Leah together. They went to the same high school but Logan was a few years older. Logan was always trying to get under Leah’s skin and Leah always just wanted Logan to like her. Logan goes off to college out of state and gets a good job after college. He doesn’t come home for 10 years. Surprising everyone he finally makes an appearance for their parent’s anniversary party. Logan and Leah end up at his hotel room having sex all night. But the next morning he tells Leah that the night had been just a fling and no one could find out. She was so hurt but she makes up her mind she will not be a casual fling to him. It’ll be all or nothing.
I received a copy of this book from the pubisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
From the moment Logan met Leah he despied her as much as she hated him. It only made matters worse when his mother became involved with her fahter. So, ten years ago, he moved away. But when he comes back for the big anniversary party, the rivalry has disappeared and we are being congratulated for putting aside our differences. What they don’t know is that if he ges his way, tonight they will be sharing a room.
From the moemnt Leah met Logan she did everything to get Logan’s attention. All that he would direct toward her were mean pranks often leaving her in tears. Even when he left for ten years she still tried to get his attention. It ook her a long time before she finally gave up. When Logan shows up unannounced for the big anniversary party, she expects the worst case of rivalry yet, but instead, they are actully getting along, and everyone is thrilled. And when she ends up finding the truth of why he is back it shocks her to her core.
I loved this book. I thought that it was so much fun to read. I loved Logan and Leah and how they just really about drove each other batty. She has a thing for him and much to their shock they soon become stepsiblings and everything thing changes. Logan is relentless in his teasing and pranks of Leah and she just is a mess like all of us would be. However, when he moves away she gets the geniius idea of how to get over him and let him know just exactly how much no on misses him. Now weather or not that is the truth you have to read the book to find out. These two will keep you on your toes. I devoured this book!! I thought it was amazing and one you will want to read too if you like step sibling books. S.L. Sterling hit this one out of the park.
This was a great step-siblings slow build romance. When Leah and Logan first meet in school, Leah develops a big crush on him. Things take a turn when his mother and her father get married making them step-siblings. Leah is desperate to get his attention. To cover up his feelings for her, he torments her. Logan then graduates and moves to Boston for college. Determined to keep in touch Leah begins sending him letters on every holiday with no response from Logan. Now 10 years later and Logan does not receive his Valentine’s Day letter, he returns home for their parents wedding anniversary and to claim his letter. Now that he is home, he is ready to claim the girl he has always secretly wanted-his stepsister Leah. Great read!
