From Amazon Bestselling author Stephanie Brother comes a dirty-talking stepbrother romance with a twist…Mr. OMG lives up to his name in more ways than one… for advice on my failing love life, and he tells me I need to loosen up and have some fun.
That’s easier said than done until I meet Cole.
I tell myself he’s just an arrogant frat boy — a smug trust fund baby with a bad attitude and way too much sex appeal. But there’s something about him that I just can’t ignore.
I could loosen up all over his face in a heartbeat, but hell, I need Cole-sized trouble like I need a hole in the head. And when my mom tells me he’s going to be my stepbrother, it’s just another reason to say no.
But when Cole touches me, I’m calling out OMG for all the right reasons. And when he holds me, I feel like we could be made for each other.Except I know that it’s wrong. We’re going to be related, and Cole has secrets that are far too big for us to ever get over.
I need to protect my heart the way I always have, and I try, but it seems that Mr. OMG has other plans for me…and I might not be able to resist.
This is a 60,000-word standalone novel with a happy-ever-after ending.

Mr. O.M.G
By: Stephanie Brother
Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer, Heather Costa
Funny, forbidden and steamy, you can’t go wrong with Mr O.M.G. This story caught my attention from the first chapter! The sexy DJ, with his flippant advice and hot voice was it for Katie. Until she met Cole. Cole bumped into her at a party and the instant spark had them both obsessed the next day. Until they went to breakfast to meet their new to be step parents. And even when they found out they were going to be step siblings, the growing bond between them and the chemistry keeping them together. But their time was limited…or was it? This spicy story has so much more to it than just attraction. Katie is sweet but she drove me crazy. Always protecting her heart when I wanted to push her to follow it. Cole is slightly broken, has a crazy mother and heart of gold. Their parents also add a spark of goodness and hope.
Heather Costa and Jeffrey Kafer bring this gem to life. I enjoy this team and together they made this an enjoyable listen. Each adds the perfect personality to each character. It is a great performance.

Sometimes the stepbrother/sister issue doesn’t work for me.
I like the stepbrother/stepsister in love sub genre of romance, but sometimes it frustrates me to no end. In this instance the two main characters, Cole and Katie, are in college and attracted to each other when they learn their parents are dating and want to marry. Neither of them lives in the same house as the parents or each other, so it just seems silly to me to use that as a reason to be not be together.
I mean how can it be taboo when there is nothing brotherly or sisterly about the situation? The trope is taboo if the steps grow up together. It is actually pretty incestuous in my eyes if the parents marry and move in together when step siblings are young children. Though they don’t share blood to make it the actual definition of incest, it is pretty taboo for kids that spend most of their childhood as siblings to then end up together.
I have an adopted sister, and though I know steps are technically different from adoption because step siblings each still have different parent(s), it is similar in that they grow up in the same house and don’t share blood. I consider my adopted sister no different than my other two sisters that I am related to by blood. So possibly that is why I feel this way.
The situations where I really like the step siblings in love trope are when the two are in high school or college and live in the same house for a year or a few years. That is taboo enough where they should worry about their parents reaction and possibly even the public at large. In these cases I think the trope or sub genre is hot, though it doesn’t have the yuk factor of them growing up as siblings. I like it especially if they know each other first (before their parents marry).
In the situation with Cole and Katie, I think it is pretty much a non-issue since neither lived together before the parents marriage. It is weird that anyone would even think it is scandalous (other than possibly as a headline, but even then the reader would probably just blow off the article once they read the actual facts). I mean nobody would think it scandalous if things happened in reverse and a young couple were getting married and one of each of their parents met and got together. Nobody would say, you need to divorce now because your parents fell in love and if they get married your husband will be your stepbrother.
Despite the fact that I think the step siblings issue between Katie and Cole is not an issue, Katie thinks it is an issue so we have a storyline for these two. The romance in this one is terrific. I like how they meet, how they bicker, the fact that they both start out wanting just a one night stand.
Also, the storyline about Cole’s job as Mr. OMG, a shock jock type talk radio host is a good one. Especially since his radio shows “gimmick” is to give relationship advice, which is often that the single life and lots of sex is the way to go. Though he is a big proponent for men being generous instead of selfish in the lovemaking department.
Katie never had the big “O” with any of her former boyfriends, but she is able to achieve it without any problems while alone and listening to Mr. OMG on the radio. She is a big fan of the show, though she is aware that Mr. OMG sometimes gives bad advice. Katie herself has called into the show for advice.
After Katie and Cole meet and hook up (hot & steamy ), Katie calls in a second time. Cole uses voice modification on the air so Katie has no clue it is him, and he wants to keep it that way after deciding he wants more than just one night with Katie. Between this storyline, the parents marriage and a few other smaller storylines, I was very pretty happy with the book despite my issues with them being or not really being steps.
The issues I did have with the trope were answered later in the book. I won’t spoil it, but it does explain the reason for Katie’s concerns about them being stepbrother/stepsister, and it was logical. Overall, I would recommend this book as a light romance, an easy read and fairly quick (< 225 pages), with great characters and a good story.
I just finished this one today and it was just wild! I didn’t know how it would end and it was shocking. I loved this book and it was so different from all the other books I have read. It’s fast paced and a great read.
This was a first for me by this author. I was hooked from the beginning. It was a well developed funny, forbidden steamy read. If you enjoy Stepbrother romances this is the book for you. I definitely recommend it.
Jeffrey Kafer and Heather Costa did an amazing job with the narration. They brought the characters to life.
I requested a copy of this. I am voluntarily leaving my review.
This was a hot and steamy forbidden romance proving you can’t help who you fall in love with. Cole and Katie’s witty banter was refreshing and entertaining and their chemistry was off the charts.
Katie’s a college student who is treading water, wanting to find an exciting life one day. She does very little to reach out and grasp at anything, other than Mr. OMG. Mr. OMG is a local dj at the University radio station who gives advice to those who call in and ask for help with their love life. Katie looks forward to every time she hears his voice on the radio. It’s smooth, smoky and so sensuous. She has to admit that listening to him speak is just about as good as having him right there in the room with her, or maybe not! She wonders what he looks like but is content to listen to him, for now. She’s commitment phobic and trusts no man to stick around in a relationship. Mr. OMG is Cole Stuart, a college student with a filthy rich family but a history of trouble and heartbreak when it comes to trusting women. There is no better example of the worst mother ever as his mom, Olive. She is a narcissist, pure and simple, whose feelings for her children and soon-to-be ex-husband are negligible. Cole, too, has become commitment phobic and keeps his women in a neat little box where they can’t break his heart. At a frat party, Cole and Katie run into one another and that’s the beginning of their love story. Katie may deny her feelings but she wears them on her sleeve for anyone to see. As luck would have it, Cole and Katie are pushed together more than ever when they find out their parents are getting married. Katie freaks out immediately, thinking that they are doing something intolerable by being with one another. Cole tries to tell her that their being together is not the absolute nightmare that she fears it will become. How can they tell their parents that they’re dating when their parents are getting married! By this time, Cole and Katie are becoming much more important to each other but Katie has to remain tough and keep from becoming something the family won’t be proud of. Cole dealt with her insecurities really well and helped her to see that they could have the life they wanted. Their parents are wonderful characters and Sarah and Cole are authentic and developed. It just goes to show that there is more than one way to find the love and life you have to offer. Stephanie Brother comes through with another wonderful stepbrother romance!
DELIGHTFUL & DELICIOUS
Mr. OMG is a true gem of a release, by none other than the incredibly talented, Ms. Stephanie Brother. Let me assure you that Stephanie can certainly spin a romance tale & draw you right in to the storyline with ease. I found this book to be one of the ones you become addicted to until the perfectly crafted happily ever after.
Cole is an anonymous, albeit highly successful, radio show host. Not only is he gorgeous, but it his voice is addictive too; just ask any woman. He likes being anonymous for quite a few reasons, but the most being that it is his escape from his everyday life and for him, that’s quite a plus, because if you knew who he was, you’d never believe it. It is hard to be known for just you; for yourself, when your family name is always in the paper. Katie is a vigorous listener of his and thoroughly enjoys tuning in to him whenever she can. After calling into the show, Katie takes this hunky host’s advice, and goes out, with her roommate, for a night she’ll never forget. This story just takes off running, at a fast clip, and you can’t help but follow along. Between their banter as well as their instant chemistry you become consumed, however, finding out that they are about to become related puts a hell of a damper on things. Find out just what happens in this impeccable release.
I requested an advanced readers copy of this release and I highly recommend reading it ASAP.
You will never go wrong with any book by Ms. Stephanie Brother.
Katie and Cole are two people who have commitment issues. They meet at a party and have a heated argument. The next day Katie goes to breakfast with her mother and her boyfriend and guess who shows up the guy from the party Cole. They both have secrets and are closed off but the undeniable attraction is hard to ignore. Love the characters and storyline. Highly recommend.
Love this take on the Stepbrother romance! Katie has has boyfriends, but none have made her have that omg moment. The only one who does that for her is the voice of Mr OMG on her campus radio. Trying to get her out and be social her best friend convinces her to go to a frat party. After being bumped into by a rich entitled frat boy she gives up and heads to her room. She is shocked when she sees the “jerk” the next day at brunch with her mom and new boyfriend! Cole gives off a certain persona, but hides his true self for good reason. He has been searching for “that girl” since he bumped into her and now he can’t get her out of his head. Their chemistry is off the charts and he won’t let up until he at least gets a kiss. The only problem is now that they kissed, the attraction is only stronger. Will they be able to get past their differences, especially when Cole’s secrets comes out? Love their story!
At first, I thought this book was too flighty for me. Cole Stuart was incognito on campus radio giving advice to everyone to try everybody sexually now while you’re young. And Katie was a student listener only concerned with getting orgasms while listening to the smooth voice of Mr. OMG. But as the story progresses, I found Katie to be a hardworking girl preserving her scholarships and working at two campus jobs. Then I found out Mr. OMG had good reason to be on the down-low. He’s from a prominent family whose drunkard mother has gone off rail calling in paparazzi regularly to get the attention she needs. When Katie stumbled across Cole she had sized him up as a ‘trust-fund frat boy,’ then was introduced to him personally when her mother announces at brunch that she’s marrying his father. He will be her stepbrother! This book gets serious when Mr. OMG recommends that her roommate’s boyfriend break up with her. I’m in for the total story of how so much wrong can come to a happy ending! Yes, it does after many trials!
