I have loved the way Sara Cate has written this series. It's funny, exciting, and the scenes are great, but not the entire book. It's great to still have a strong story behind the smut. Only reason this isn't higher is because i feel they drew too much attention to the stepsister aspect of it too often. Like, yes, it's important to their hesitation throughout the story, but at some point, they're already in it, just stop saying "sister". It made it way more uncomfortable than it needed to be. It took me out of the story a bit, especially considering it was clear from the beginning the characters "never grew up together or really lived together". Just continuing to draw attention to the fact that their parents were married made it weird instead of just "it happened".  I will absolutely keep reading though, because I love the way she weaves story with smut.
