A fun fast pace read! The story line is well-developed, well written, funny, witty, and steamy. Likeable characters; their chemistry is intense and off the charts! Definitely recommended!

A little over two years ago, Morgan’s father married Isla’s mother. With Morgan off to college, he had rarely spent time with Isla. Fast-forward two years later and Morgan is now a professional hockey player and is asked to watch over Isla while their parents go out of town. But Isla needs a little help with something. Although Morgan is resistant at first, he can’t deny the attraction he’s felt for so long and gives in.
This was a short, quickie read but there’s a surprising amount of story and heat in this novella. The story is super light on angst but has tons of teasing, heat, and humor. And I loved how it sped along and gave us more than just that first encounter.

The Bedroom Experiment is a novella in the Hot Jocks series by Kendall Ryan. Each book can be read as standalone. Especially this one! I have been loving this series of hot hockey players and the women they love.
Isla moved into Morgan’s home when he was in college and she was seventeen. They have been around each other but he has tried to avoid her. She is off-limits and it’s been easy to stay away until now. He was asked to stay the weekend with her and when things turn suddenly and she wants tips to please a man…it’s about to get real.
This is a fast, steamy, and fun read. They may be step-siblings but at the same time they are more like friends. They didn’t grow up together. They are just two people who have off the charts chemistry. I loved it.
Quotes:
It’s obscene. And erotic. And hot as fuck.
“I mean it. Shit, if you want a professional hockey team to beat him up, I’m just a phone call or text away.”
She laughs. “I don’t think that’ll be necessary. I’m pretty good with my fists.”
Damn if I don’t know that by now.
“I’m up for the challenge. Are you?” she asks, drawing down my zipper before I can respond.

She’s experimenting.
On him.
Morgan is 22, has banged over twenty girls and now his hot step sister is asking him for pointers.
Isla is 19, a VCard and driving Morgan nuts with her experimenting.
I liked them both, but we didn’t need numbers on Morgan (bad form) especially if he’s supposed to be all bout hockey.

This newly-expanded novella is the perfect combination of sexy (like, SEXY, SEXY) and sweet. It’s a decadent little read that will leave the reader feeling wholly satisfied, and it’s a great addition to the Hot Jocks series.
I enjoyed this novella. I’m giving this 4 out of 5 stars. This review is for an ARC, and reflects my honest opinion.
The first thing I wanted to point out was that this was told in only one POV (Morgan’s). I was expecting to hear Isla’s side of the story as well, especially given the summary, so that kind of threw me. That being said, I liked this. Morgan was an interesting character from what I remembered in the Hot Jocks series, so I was excited to read his story. Isla seemed okay, but since I wasn’t in her head, I didn’t really connect with her much.
With the stepbrother trope, this definitely won’t be for everyone, but I just wanted to say that they were practically strangers; it wasn’t like they grew up together. There were time jumps and/or the past being mentioned, so there was a lot going on for something so short. The story played out nicely, and there wasn’t really any drama. It was a fun, fast read!
What an easy, light hearted, sexy quick read !! Morgan goes home to help his dad and step mom out by watching his step sister while they go on there long awaited honeymoon BUT what he didn’t expect was how grown up Isla got or shall I say grew into ??
After receiving a lengthy phone call for her boyfriend Isla is so upset Morgan has to throw on his Big Brother Hat and find out what he did to her but he has to be very careful because she isn’t the little shy girl anymore .. she is a very beautiful sexy grown up. What he sees is not what he used to see .. all woman !!
Things get totally sidetracked when Isla asks Morgan for a very important special favor .. which he knows he shouldn’t do BUT he knows he can and never will ever be able to say NO to her.
After one .. yes one .. romantic night they go there separate ways only wishing it would never end .. can it continue with different futures or will one weekend months later change everything ??
Loved it !! Cute quick and so meaningful !!
Shew! This very quick read was hot and explosive from the very beginning! It’s an insta-sexy story that was fun to get lost in. The heat between Isla and Morgan is palpable and they’re in a unique situation. They wouldn’t know each other if it wasn’t for their parents. This was a fun read!
This is a quick read romance that’s perfect to sit down with a cup of tea with and just escape into for half hour.
Morgan and his step sister Isla have never been close but that changes when isla goes to him for some help and advice. Things change between them but Morgan’s determined not to cross any lines. Which is easy when she’s not in the same city as him but when she, along with their parents, come to visit things start to change.
This is another good romance from Ms Ryan gays perfect for those times when you want to read a book but don’t have a lot of time.
Isla, Morgan’s step-sister, is a star player on the tennis team, head of the student council, and knows what she wants in life. Morgan is her step-brother, a hockey player who just got drafted to Seattle’s pro hockey team as a backup goalie. Their parents got married when Morgan was at college, so he never grew up with Isla. When his parents finally take their honeymoon two years later, they ask Morgan to hang around the house with Isla rather than have her stay alone.
The two are about to settle down to watching a movie, but Isla wants to call her boyfriend, Tyler, first. Rather than wait for her, he goes out to the hot tub to relax his sore muscles. Isla walks out, obviously crying. Apparently her boyfriend breaks up with her because she lacks experience in the bedroom, so she talks to Morgan about it, asks questions, and he finally agrees to a one-time only experiment.
A year later, Isla is much more comfortable with her sexuality. She and their parents visit Seattle to watch Morgan’s game. They are staying at his apartment, the parents in his spare room and Ilsa on the couch downstairs. But when Dawn goes downstairs to say goodnight and Isla is not there, they figure out what is going on. The biggest surprise of all is their acceptance of the two of them being together as long as he treats her right. They never had a true brother-sister relationship, so it wasn’t as awkward as it might have been. Would the two of them give a real relationship a try?
This was short but very good. The two were open and honest with each other, and nothing felt nasty. Grab your copy and see what direction they finally decide to go now.
The Bedroom Experiment by Kendall Ryan is a novella in the Hot Jocks series. This is Morgan and Isla’s story. Morgan is the backup goalie and Isla is his stepsister. Their story is short, forbidden, steamy and just hits all the right feels. Loved the plot and is just a great addition to the Hot Jocks series. Wish this was a full length read, though. Overall, good novella that hits the spot.
My Rating: 4.5 stars *******
I wasn’t exactly sure how I was going to feel about the novella based on the blurb, that can be a bit of a dicey topic sometimes, but it was completely fine. The way everything was set up and explained, it didn’t weird me out at all. I enjoyed Morgan and Isla, they’re both entertaining and good individuals. Obviously I wish it could have been longer, but I enjoyed what I had.
I loved how short the book was! It’s nice to sometimes be able to quickly read a book in one afternoon. I definitely have a weak spot for step-brother romances & this one was no different. I enjoyed that this was a valentines day themed book. This is my fist book by Kendall Ryan, and certainly won’t be my last. I loved reading about Morgan & Isla! They had great chemistry. If you enjoy fun, short, and sexy reads, this is the book for you.

A fun and sassy novella in Kendall Ryan’s Hot Jocks world! Morgan and Isla’s story is too short to give a lot of conflict or relationship build-up, but it was a steamy, flirty way to reveal to us who Morgan had his sights on.
I recommend this series as a whole to anyone enjoying a close-knit group of pro hockey playing friends and the women they are settling down with. There’s laughs, there’s friendship, there’s steamy connections and a whole lot of heart all the way around!
I have to say this is one of the most naughty and hilarious quick reads from Kendall Ryan that I have ever had the pleasure to read! I laughed at how awkward things got at one point and I had to fan myself because of how sizzling it got! I love reading this from Morgan’s point of view while Isla gives him a run for his money. It is short and sexy and everything you need to pack a quick punch! And on a total sidenote, DO NOT READ THIS BOOK IN PUBLIC! I made the mistake and it was so awkward with people wanting to know what I was reading LMAO!!!!! But trust me, so worth it!
Ilsa and Morgan are spending weekend together. Ilsa is home from college when boyfriend breaks up with her. She’s upset over reason and asks Morgan to help, will he agree? What will be the aftermath?
Fast paced hot read!
I absolutely love this Hot Jocks series and this little read is the icing on the cake. This is a sexy, step romance. Not just sexy but sizzling hot. Love Getting glimpse of Morgan. Loved this little quick read.
