Fighting Temptation by AE Madsen

My review

4.5 rounded to 5

Another great addition to the fighting for love series! Cypress and Theo are step siblings who never had a chance to get to know each other cause of Theos family views make him not want to even try to know Cypress. When he gets back from college, it's his time to get real and actually see the person and not just their look.

The two take their time to actually see the others' true selves, and when they do, it just clicks. My only real complaint is that the ending feels a bit rushed where you don't get real closure with Theos parents and just see these two find a way to make it work. Overall, it is worth a read and another great addition to this universe.

Book overview

If he doesn't shut his mouth, I might just do it for him. The only problem is I don’t know whether to kiss him or punch him.

Theodore

College can't last forever, but it was nice getting a taste of freedom. I'm back home again, living in my childhood room, and having to put up with the golden child, Cypress. I don't know what's worse, walking in on them with my friend or being forced to share a bedroom. It'd be less confusing if they weren't so pretty.

Cypress

What's Theo's problem? Ever since his dad started dating my mom, he's been a total jerk. The last four years he's been off at college were a welcome relief. As far as I'm concerned, the sooner he gets a job and moves out the better. I'm too busy with MMA and college classes to deal with his mess.
