He broke her heart when he left her seven years ago. Now he’s back to reclaim what’s his… doesn’t look good. Smoldering eyes, sexy smile, and rock hard body made for climbing.
Made for sin.
He’s the one man that sets my insides on fire just by being in the room; just by living and breathing.
The one man I can’t have.
The boy who owns all my firsts.
Now here he is, ambushing me with a grand entrance into our class reunion and introducing himself to everyone as my loving boyfriend, after not so much as a word all these years.
He says I’m his…
Says I always have been…
I’m not so sure about that. Because if that were true, he wouldn’t have left me, just days after taking my virginity…
~
Jaxon Jaimison ~
I knew Maddison Cole was mine the moment I met her. Didn’t matter that we were only fifteen. When you know, you know.
But then my father turned around and made her my stepsister.
I understand Maddison’s worries, but I’ll never leave her again. And unlike my stepsister, I’m not hung up on the forbidden, taboo nature of a relationship between us, nor do I care what others think. We’re older now, more established, both successful. I’m not taking no for an answer. After all, I packed up my broken heart seven years ago and left town for a reason, determined on making something of myself, to be the man Maddison deserves.
Maddison thinks it’s just one night, she’ll give in and then I’ll disappear again, but seducing her to my hotel suite reunion night is just the start.
I’m staying, moving back into the bedroom beside hers, and the office beside hers, as co-CEO of the family business, right alongside Maddison, the current CEO…
Jaxon nearly destroyed me last time. I can’t afford for history to repeat itself. Not with the future of our family and the company at risk. I’ll guard my heart and our secrets at all costs…
~
MaddJax Book Two ~
Can first love get a second chance?
Maddison ~
Jaxon Jaimison wasn’t supposed to be the one. Nope. I wasn’t supposed to fall for my stepbrother.
I made that mistake once. I’d be stupid to make it again.
But then he came back to fix what was lost and broke. All smoldering eyes, sexy smile, and rock hard body.
I tried to fight it. Really, I did.
But I never had a chance.
Jaxon’s mere presence sets my insides on fire, his scent and his taste put my mind in a haze.
The temptation’s too strong, too close. My body craves his touch, longs to be against his.
Just as I begin to feel hope for our future, let my walls down and accept what is—that Jaxon owns my heart, my body, and my soul—it all starts to unravel, when everything I hold dear is rocked by tragedy and threatened to be lost.
All things come to an end, and this might be ours…
~
Jaxon ~
The years apart have done nothing to diminish the passion between us, the ever-present pull and need. But wooing my stepsister into crossing the line into the forbidden and giving us a second chance, earning back her trust and her heart after I left and shattered them both, has been a bigger challenge than I expected.
Now that I finally have her in my arms, my bed, I’m never letting her go.
Of course, there’s bound to be a few bumps on the path to Happily Ever After. Secrets rarely stay hushed. But I never saw what was coming. Never saw our pasts coming back to tear us apart. Never saw Maddison pushing me away. And never saw having to literally fight for our future together.
Loosing Maddison isn’t an option, and I’ll fight to hold onto her with everything I am.
Even, if it kills me…

MaddJax Series, Boxed Series Set, Book One & Book Two: A Second Chance Stepbrother/co-CEO Romance by Deborah Ann is a contemporary romance. This boxed set is a fully engulfed read that will take you in depth into a complicated relationship into what some may tag as taboo or illicit. It may be to some, but this story is deep and complicated, while touching and ingenious in its delivery. In the process of reading this story, the author takes the reader on an incredible journey along with Maddison and Jaxon – learning the past and how it’s impacted the present, along with where do these individuals go moving forward noting they are so inexplicable tied together in multiple ways. A great read that I recommend to others.
For sure my kind of book. It’s one that pulls you in and the next thing you know, one more chapter has become 4 AM and oh well I’m almost done so I’ll finish it now.
I have no idea how Maddison was able to deal with everything that was thrown at her AT HER 5 YEAR HIGH SCHOOL REUNION that she basically footed the bill for. I don’t even want to go to my 10th next year and my class was, for the most part, open minded and kind people. Put all that together with running a company and the surprise but not entirely unwelcome appearance of the stepbrother she’s always been in love with, and I was exhausted trying to keep up with everything.
For anyone who is wary of the step sibling part of this, it’s no worse than actual world history. Maddison and Jaxon aren’t related by blood. Looking at you, European royalty.
MaddJax Series Boxed Series Set Books One and Two: A Second Chance Stepbrother/co-CEO Romance by Deborah Ann has quite an intriguing title and the story lives up to it.
I totally understand why Maddison feels the way she does about her feelings for Jaxon, he is her stepbrother after all but I don’t like the way she handles a lot I’d the situations and it appeared to me that the person with the biggest problem with it was Maddison.
Jaxon isn’t what you would expect from the first impression. He comes across as an extremely confident man, which he is but he is so much more than that. He has a heart of gold and will do anything for those he loves.
This was an entertaining story, it had me laughing, crying and scratching my head and I really enjoyed it.
MaddJax Series, Boxes Series Set Book One and Two by Deborah Ann is a second chance romance series.
I really enjoyed that both books were put into a box set so that as soon as I finished book one I could start book two without waiting. These books are full of steamy passion and so much emotion you almost can’t handle it. These books have a little of everything and I am so glad I was able to read them in a box set. I would not have been able to wait to see the outcome of Madison and Jax’s story. There is a lot they have to overcome, will they be able to do it?
I absolutely recommend these books!
MaddJax Series, Boxed Series Set (Book 1 & 2) was a great 5 star read.
I was excited to read these first two books in the series. I was pulled right in and didn’t want to stop until I was done.
Maddison and Jaxon had a steamy encounter when they were young, then Jaxon left town breaking her heart. When Jaxon’s dad weds Maddison’s step sister, it causes them to be step-siblings which adds a twist to the story. Now he’s back in her life acting like nothing happened working as co-CEO to the family business and wants her back. He is determined to show her that he’s back for good and will never hurt her again.
Will she let her walls down and let him back in? Can they have a HEA?
Of course this is somewhat of a taboo relationship which makes it a little more interesting.
I loved both of these characters. Maddison is stubborn, smart and pretty. Jaxon is a hot alpha, a charmer and very confident in himself. My emotions were all over the place. There were several up and down moments. If you’re looking for a great second chance romance, this is the series for you.
I love a second chance romance I’m a complete sucker for them and these novels well they had me hook line and sinker I just couldn’t set it down. I also love that fact that it’s a forbidden series’s I was captivated by an amazing storyline with twists and turns and amazing character’s who have incredible chemistry! As soon as you start reading this novel you are just pulled in and taken on a journey full of emotions and you think you may know what is going to happen next but you end up in a completely different direction it’s an amazing series definitely worth reading!!
MaddJax Series, Boxed Set

5 stars
I have read a couple of books by this author previously which were fantastic reads so I was really looking forward to settling down with this box set and it absolutely did not disappoint at all! From the beginning of the first book to the end of the second I was completely hooked!
I am a fan of forbidden romance stories however not always a fan of step-sibling romances but the two main characters had a history before their parents married and I could really tell that this connection, nestled amongst a lot of angst, drama and a few twists and turns, was genuine and there was a huge amount of chemistry between them.
I liked Maddison – even if she did frustrate me a little at times! She certainly had a stubborn streak and that’s for sure!! And because of that stubborn streak she desperately tried to hide her desire for Jaxon! I can also understand some of this stubbornness and actually felt it was more a defence mechanism as she was guarding her heart from being hurt again.
Jaxon was everything I love in a male main character! He was sexy, charming and I fell for him straight away!
I loved both of these stories and cannot recommend them enough! It was great to go straight from book 1 to book 2 and not have the gap of waiting to find out what was going to happen!
I am definitely looking forward to more from Deborah Ann again in the future!!
MaddJax Series Boxed Set by Deborah Ann is a bargain because you get both books in one go. No waiting to find out what comes next. It is a second chance romance story with a twist of stepbrother and stepsister fall in love. It is a story about hang ups of the forbidden which is equal parts frustrating, sexy and steamy and oh so good. There is plenty chemistry and intrigue, drama and angst and a love so strong it melts your heart. I fell in love with the characters and Deborah’s writing.
Jax is back to claim his girl but will she fall willingly back into his arms or has he left it too late?
Maddison has missed the love of her life but is still hung up on the forbidden love and what it will do to their parents. Can she look past this and truly find happiness?
Deborah has done well with this series and I look forward to reading so much more from her. If you love second chance romance with a little forbidden love, then this series is one you definitely don’t want to look past.
What a read and an incredible introduction to Deborah Ann. This book was incredible from the get-go, it was steamy, sexy, passionate, raw & real. While reading Maddison & Jaxon’s story it made you feel all the feels, I’ve been frustrated, I’ve laughed, I’ve had tears but most of all I have loved everything about this book. Deborah Ann has a written a book that flows effortlessly from chapter to chapter.
She has created two characters that as the reader you become passionate about following their story and hoping they get the HEA they so rightly deserve. While the story takes some ups and downs and times where you have wanted to physically yell at the main character’s decisions I couldn’t put this read down.
This book was everything and more! Its a brilliant second chance read that shouldn’t be missed! Even better is the fact you don’t have to wait forever to delve into Maddison’s & Jaxon’s story as Book 2 continues straight after!
Its an epic, romantic read that shouldn’t be missed, I highly recommend this read to all!
3.5 stars
I read this as a boxed set containing both Book One and Book Two. I’m glad I was able read it this way as I am not sure I would have Book Two if it wasn’t the next page.
Told in dual POV, the story involves the “taboo ” step-sibling genre, the corporate CEO genre, and second chance genre (this is not a spoiler as it is explained in the blurb). It has very ambitious desires and sometimes it falls short and sometimes it was exactly right.
The characters are developed quickly, we are able to determine different things with flashbacks and the writer was able to move the story along at a decent pace.
Every single one of these characters bugged me at certain points – some by their actions, some by their inactions.
I always appreciate when an author puts their words on paper. While this is a well structured story, it just wasn’t my cup of tea.
Well wasn’t this a fantabulous boxed set from the ever fabulous Ms. Deborah Ann!?! I absolutely just could get enough of these books. The angst, the slow build of that perfect explosive and poetic chemistry and pure steam that is Maddison and Jaxon, down straight to the emotive emotional second chances and lessons that come with past transgressions… This book, well both rather, wer absolutely the perfect combination that I was craving at the time. (Whether I knew it or not at first! 🙂 ) From the very first chapter to the riveting end of conclusion of book two I was hooked and often struggled with adulting hahaha. I won’t sit here and paraphrase the already perfect and gripping summary and blurbs that accompany this book. The juicy details are so much better to be found out going in blind and being completely wan with the story. I just can’t find enough glowing things to say about these novels, but in the meantime I will be daydreaming Maddison and Jaxon until the next project from Ms. Deborah Ann gives forth. Thank so much for these beautiful and fantastic reads!

I love step sibling stories, and I really loved how differently this one was done.
Maddison and Jaxon’s parents married secretly and sprung the kids together over dinner.
Maddison, though she fights it so, so hard, just cant deny the pull to Jaxon.
This series had it all, steamy scenes, drama, heartbreak and more.
If you like step sibling stories this set is for you.

5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading MaddJax Series, Boxed Series Set, Book One & Book Two: A Second Chance Stepbrother/co-CEO Romance by Deborah Ann. The two stories are wonderful and had me hooked. They pulled me in and I found myself lost in the storyline and enjoying reading about the characters of Maddison Cole and Jaxon Jaimison. Maddison is an intelligent, kind, beautiful, and stubborn woman. She had her heart broken in the past when he left. He has just walked back into her life. She has never been able to get Jaxon out of her mind. Jaxon is a man that knows what he wants. It is Maddison. He is handsome, charming, and confident. He is determined that she will be his and vows that he will never leave her again. Can he convince Maddison to trust him? Although they have been apart from each other for years the attraction and emotions they feel for each other are strong. With Jaxon being her step-brother, a relationship could be considered forbidden. There is passion, sparks, and chemistry. What does the future hold for Maddison and Jaxon? Read this book to find out. I found myself saying “I will read just one more chapter,” and then reading far into the night. The story is romantic and there are some steamy moments that will make the temperature in the room rise. I grew to care about Jaxon and Maddison with each chapter that I read and I wanted them to find happiness. I enjoyed reading about the many other characters that are introduced who care and support Maddison and Jaxon. This is a set of books that I would suggest that you add to the top of your to-be-read list.

MaddJax Series, Boxed Series Set, Book One & Book Two: A Second Chance Stepbrother/co-CEO Romance by Deborah Ann . This is a super steamy romance. Its the story of Jaxon Jaimison and Maddison Cole who are super infatuated with each other. Even when they first met at 15 they knew they would be together. The chemistry between them is sizzling. When Jaxon leaves town and breaks Maddison’s heart she doesn’t think she will ever heal and she knows she will never love again. Then Jaxon’s dad marries Maddison’s step sister making them step siblings causing another kink. When Jaxon comes back to town and just acts like nothing has happened will Maddison be able to forgive him and move on and not care what other people think about their relationship? I loved both these books. They are what a good romance is all about.
5 Stars
MaddJax Series Boxed Set contains both books in the MaddJax Series. It is a fantastic, sexy, second chances, forbidden, stepbrother/stepsister romance- with plenty of drama, intrigue, angst, and chemistry.
I have loved absolutely everything that I have read of Deborah Ann’s- so I did have pretty high expectations for this series. I am really happy with what I discovered, and the way the whole story played out- even though there were quite a few dramatic, and frustrating moments over the course of the story.
I was certainly pulled in multiple directions, avidly reading to find out what wold happen. I really don’t want to get into the story too much, because I don’t want to spoil it for you, plus the blurb does a better job than I ever could anyway- but if you are a second chances, forbidden, or stepbrother/stepsister romance fan- then this series is most definitely one you won’t want to miss.
Looking forward to more from this talented author!
Thank you Deborah Ann!!
MaddJax Boxed Series Set (Book 1 & 2) is a Second Chance Stepbrother/co-CEO Romance by Deborah Ann. I cannot recall reading this author’s work before, and was delighted at the great storyline and always dramatic twists to the story. Maddison and Jaxon were meant to be together. But with them being step siblings, things were a lot complicated. The author stretched this out with intense determination. Frustrating and baffling at times, the intrigue, drama and theatrics should be commended. They kept me riveted to the pages. I could have shaken some sense into Maddison at times, but overall she was a fun, edgy and modern classy woman suppressing her darkest desires. Jax, on the other hand, was an open book when it came to his feelings for Maddison. He was in your face, brutally honest, and sexy all in one built package.
A fantastic series that flowed easily, extravagantly and effortlessly. A must for lovers of the forbidden. 4 stars.
MaddJax boxed series by Deborah Ann is a second chance love story that will be sure to grab your attention! This is exactly the kind of book I always love and this one is easily one of the best.
Right from the word go I really felt like this author too me on a journey. You were pulled in all directions with the emotions and the drama. You never quite knew which direction you might find yourself in next.
The chemistry between Maddison and Jaxon was electric. You could feel it in each and every page. This is a brilliant series and one I would highly recommend.
Maddison and Jaxon – steamy. Dramatic. Wonderfully up and down. I wanted to shake them and scream at them and laugh with them… as you can tell it gave me all the feels. I didn’t have any expectations when I picked up this series but hands down loved every page. Definite recommend this second chance romance. Deliciously wonderful.
I loved this box set, steamy, drama! I enjoyed how I was pulled right into the story of Maddison and Jaxon from the beginning. They are great characters with chemistry and plenty of steam, oh, and Jaxon is her step brother. One night, one secret and now history just might repeat itself. This is a second chance at love series that I had a hard time putting down. I love it when I don’t have to wait for the next book to find out what happens next. I highly recommend this box set, a must read.
