I love Sariah Wilson’s she has done it again her books are always flirty fun reads. This is the  second book in this great series!  They clean which makes them even better to read. 

Synopsis:
Ian “Bash” Sebastian and Ember Carlson were high school sweethearts…until their single parents got married. With one thorny twist of fate, a secret young crush went from on fire to off-limits. What could a new stepbrother do but bail? Now, after almost four years, Bash has returned to Seattle, and he’s back in Ember’s orbit at End of the Line. EOL is the go-to college for second-chance scholarships. But what about love?

Sure, the old hurts are there. So is the attraction—and it’s more magnetic than ever. Still, they’re adults now, levelheaded and just fine with the friend thing. If only to make family dinners less awkward. But when they agree to start dating other people, moving on threatens to bring them closer together than ever.

Is it time to admit their past to their parents? Even trickier, their hope for the future? Because Ember and Bash deserve a love story of their own. With all their defenses down, can they make it a happy ever after?

The whole story revolves around the plot of "forbidden love." Bash and Ember meet in high school and fell in love. However, then their parents meet and  fall in love, and get married. So now the two young lovers are new step-siblings. Which changes everything for them a couple years later they end up at the same school and try to pick back up. Unfortunately this is a very pg13 book but all in all not a bad book

LOVE HER BOOKS!!  Bash and Ember are a new favorite!! Who does not love childhood sweethearts and second chances!?! If you love romance, pick this one!  😍😍😍

I struggled to get into this one unfortunately! It had a lot of cute moments and I really liked Bash but I just wasn't gripped by it. I ended up not finishing it because it didn't hold my interest. I think it might be right book wrong time for me.

Nice clean teen new adult romance
They were dating in high school than snap fingers they are step siblings ( -2 stars a trope I loath ) 
Nice pretty banter nice kisses scenes 
But something was missing 
The first book was another thing

One of my favorite authors. Oh, how her writing comes a long way. I love reading every book she has written. Let me say she never disappoints.

I loved Ember and Bash's story. A little forbidden and a little second chance. I loved watching the two reconnect while trying to hide their feelings. I liked that they had a lot of people in their corner. It was slow burn, but I think it was neccessary as they both had to come to terms with both their pasts and their future.

Due to Covid-19, I have delayed everything inclued reading books ...
When I could read again, I was overfloaded by work. We are on a very weird period.

I don't know why but this book was easier to understand than the previous one. I went inside the story easier too.

The only thing that remains negative is the length of the summary which spoils the story too much.

Although Bash is part of the American football team, it is less present than with Jess and Logan. We are more focused on the family unit.

I noticed that it is a bit trendy stepbrother and stepsister but it's the first that I read. In fact it's a little different because they know each other before their parents. In French, the term is less precise than in English.

Ember and Bash have injuries that you don't necessarily notice but that make them react in a certain way.

I enjoyed following the characters and meeting Jess and Logan. We are also entitled to an explanation of Ford's behavior with Keilani.

Some parts made me laugh. Mainly the double date which does not end as expected.

It seems to me that this second volume is the last in the series. I will be watching for future releases from Sariah Wilson.

This was just ok. I felt like the characters should've gotten their shit together earlier on in the book itself. Personally, I felt there was just too much push and pull between the characters. The book was low on angst and the chemistry between the characters was alright. Not altogether the best I've read, but it wasn't too bad either.

A solid new adult romance. I enjoyed the love story, the blended family situation and the chemistry between the two main characters.

A great story!! I loved Bash and Ember together. There was chemistry, banter, laughs and high emotions. Another well written, clean romance from Sariah Wilson. She's slowly becoming a firm favourite.

Ian "Bash" and Ember were high school sweethearts until their single parents got married and Bash left to go to college. Now that Bash is back in town, he and Ember are dealing with all the old feelings and trying not to make it awkward at family gatherings. Will they finally come clean with their parents about their past? A funny, good read with step-siblings that were in a relationship before their parents got together.

This started out as a great story but then it just dragged out too long without Ember and Bash getting together. I got frustrated with the direction it was taking and felt like it had too many storylines all joined together.

Bash and Ember secretly dated in high school until their parents decided to get married.  They then went their seperate ways but are now back in each others lives because they are now in school together.

This book as first was weird to me that they were step-siblings who dated but then I realized how they were never raised as siblings and it wasn't as weird.  Either way, their relationship was sweet and I enjoyed their story.  I recommend this book for any romance lover and would read another book by Sariah Wilson.

I received an eARC from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

The whole story revolves around the plot of "forbidden love." Bash and Ember (weird names) meet in high school and fall in love. However, then their parents meet (Bash's father and Ember's mother), fall in love, and get married. So now the two young lovers are new step-siblings and will be living under the same roof. 

Fast forward some years (3-4?) after life happens for a few years and they have to deal with being around each other again. I feel like most of the drama in this book could have been avoided if they just talked one another and had open lines of communication instead of "assuming" what the other one was feeling. 

I'm sure this is meant to be a romance, but most of the scenes were pretty PG-13... making out and talking about making out. Not steamy at all. It was a quick read, but I didn't get attached to the characters like I prefer to while reading a book.

Sariah quickly became one of my favorite authors after reading #Starstruck. Her books never disappoint. This story was fun, flirty, and still had enough drama. I can't wait for her next book!

I loved the first book in the End of the Line series so I was excited to read Just a Boyfriend, the second book in the series. Although I enjoyed this one, it just wasn’t quite as good as the first book for me. I would still absolutely recommend this book, I guess I just preferred Logan and Jess to Bash and Ember. 

3.5 stars

I really enjoyed the first book In the End of Line series and couldn’t wait to get my hands on Just a Boyfriend. Sariah Wilson did it again with this book and gave a different take on step brother romance.

Ember and Bash were secretly dating in high school. Prom was right around the corner and they were all set to go together. Only it didn’t happen when their patents meet and fall in love and get married months later. To make things easier Bash decides to move away. 

Bash and Ember see each other years later at college. To make matters worse they have classes together. They both still have feelings for each other but know it would be difficult. 

These two have amazing chemistry and the whole time I was hoping they could find a way to make it work. I really enjoyed this book.

Good story, I was intrigued by Bash after meeting him in the previous book. Character development was good, dialogue flowed well, although there were a few moments where it seemed to be on a younger age level than the college setting.
