Getting What You Want Stepp Sisters Book 1 Kathy Love 9780821776124 Books

This book was a light, fun, quick read. I liked how the author showed Abby and Chase getting to know one another, enjoying each other's company and actually giving them a foundation for falling in love beyond the surface attraction they have for one another. (Which she doesn't really do in book 2.)

I particularly liked that Chase was far from perfect. It made him more real. And I liked how the author showcased how Abby's adult life was affected (and still is) by her experiences in high school and how she learns to finally overcome her insecurities.

Overall this was a very enjoyable book.

Note on Kindle version: I was disappointed by the number of typos and misspellings in the kindle edition. The publisher could definitely have done a much better job. There were sometimes a "l" at the end of words where it didn't belong (for example, Steppl instead of Stepp, hippol instead of hippo) and other typos that were annoying. That said, they didn't impede on my reading or comprehension. It more astounded me than anything, that something with that many stupid typing errors would get out to the public.

Getting What You Want Stepp Sisters Book 1 Kathy Love 9780821776124 Books Reviews

I really enjoyed this first installment of the Stepp Sisters trilogy. Each book focuses on each of the three Ugly Stepp Sisters, who were teased horrificly growing up in Millbrook, Maine for their looks, clothes, height, weight, and any other attribute. Although never experiencing anything to this extreme, I could easily relate to the awkwardness and humiliation of being teased in high school, never fitting in, and fantasizing about the most popular boy in school. This story focuses in on what can happen 15 years later, when you're confronted with those same tormentors of your childhood, except this time around, you're grown up, attractive and successful. It really made me think about how I would react in those scenarios and have to say it would probably be similar.

Bookworm Abby Stepp graduated valedictorian from high school, went off to Boston University, got her doctorate degree and never looked back. 15 years later, she's offered a temporary research position near her hometown and decides to take it to visit her sister and to take a break from a stagnant romantic relationship from her boyfriend of 12 years. When she comes to town, she turns alot of heads including the most popular bad boy from high school, Chase Jordan. Abby had a secret crush on Chase as a young girl, but he and his friends were the primary culprits who relentlessly teased her, called her ugly and played cruel jokes on her. When Chase sees Abby again, he's completely smitten, but when he approaches her, he essentially gets the kiss off and assumes she's the same aloof and snobby teenager. Living next door to one another, they eventually grow a friendship and Chase realizes his perceptions of Abby were completely wrong and he can't help but pursue her even though he thinks he doesn't deserve her. Abby on the other hand, realizes a part of her is still living in the past and after 15 years, needs to leave the past behind her.

This was a very entertaining and engaging romance. The relationship was built at a nice pace, and the supporting characters really add to how people change over time. Abby and Chase have a steamy chemistry and their obstacles, although slightly over the top, were not overly distracting. The story was blessedly free of long running misunderstandings and simply laid out a dreamy second chance at a missed opportunity.

One word of caution, although I didn't let it affect my rating, there were so many typos in this kindle edition that it eventually did become distracting. Most of it was something that could actually be picked up in a simple spell check so I'm not sure how it got so bad. If you can get beyond that, it's a great read.
Plot Abby was the smart nerd in high school and she and her sisters were teased mercilessly by the other students. Chase was the bad boy in high school, and Abby's crush. Abby comes back to town, bringing her highschool insecurities with her. Chase has insecurities of his own.
The chemistry between the two characters is very high, both in the friendship aspect and the sexual tension aspect. The characters are flawed people who are just trying to live their lives. The dialogue between all the characters is not too cutesy and there is very little content that seems extraneous.
Fun, fast read with enough angst and happy ever after for everyone.
Most romance novel heroes have a bit of everything....looks, charm, bad boy tendencies, and a bit of reformation in store for them. Chase Jordan has all that and more. He is the best hero that I've read for sometime. I kinda have a crush on him (a fictional character no less!)

This is one of those books that everyone who's ever been to high school can relate to. High school is such a difficult time. Clicks, out of place teens, popular students, geeks, athletes, labels...yuck. This book dives right into these tough memories as the smart, geeky, valedectorian Abby Stepp returns to Millbrook, Maine to do some research and is living next to her high school crush (the popular badboy)!

Abby has a lot of forgiving to do. She was poorly treated in high school and has many hard and hurt feelings surrounding her treatment. Chase also has difficult memories and regrets his behavior from high school. The question is "can he get Abby to forgive and forget".

I loved this book. It was deeply sensual but emotional as well. Both Abby and Chase have work to do...accepting themselves for who they are and learning how to love each other and themselves. I found myself devouring this book with a silly grin on my face the whole time. Chase is such a gentleman and a GENTLE MAN. He is the stuff dreams are made of, and when Abby's dream comes true, I for one was cheering on the sidelines.

Read this one!
