If angsty YA themes with romance thrown in are books you enjoy, this one is definitely for you. I cannot say that I expected the twists throughout the book but I will say Christensen did a great job generating a storyline with well developed characters and a plot that everyone can at least in part relate to. I found this to be an engaging read and a book I easily finished in one sitting. Recommended.

Humiliating Revenge: Contemporary Young Adult Romance By T. Christensen 5 out of 5 stars
I loved reading the story Humiliating Revenge: Contemporary Young Adult Romance by T. Christensen. It pulled me in from the beginning and didn’t let me go until the final page. It is a book that had me turning pages to find out what was going to happen next. It is the story of Olivia Crawford and Calum Breen. Olivia is a woman who doesn’t have many she can call friends. She is the woman known for dumping Calum. Calum is a man who is in the MMA world. He is going to enjoy the payback that he is determined to give Olivia. He is on a path of revenge. What happens next has him wondering if everything is as it appears to be. This is a story that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. There are times when I was angry and sad. There are others when I couldn’t help but feel for the characters of Oliva and Calum and wanted them to find happiness. The bantering that goes on between Calum and Oliva shows the conflict between them. There are also some very steamy scenes in the book as well. Don’t miss out on a story that is addictive, entertaining, and hard to put down. I highly recommend reading it.

Christensen – Review by Laura Furuta
Olivia Crawford was ‘famous’ for being the rich, snooty, spoiled town princess. Ever since she could remember girls whispered and pointed at her. Boys gawked at her, but didn’t dare approach her.
Now she was in college, in the same town, with the same people who never forgave her for callously dumping the boy who had become the town celebrity.
Calum Breen was the adored, easy-going, captivating high school athlete. He didn’t know who Olivia was at first and then he didn’t give a damn. He pursued her until he had her, and then Olivia made it crystal clear her uppity reputation was more than deserved. His humiliation and anger, at her hands, drove him to the MMA. Now he was back to prove who was better than who.
He was no longer the gullible, love struck boy; he was a hardened man who had learned to defend himself. And he was going to enjoy teaching Olivia how sweet payback is.
Christensen has been addicted to reading ever since she read her first romance book in middle school. When different characters and scenes started invading her brain she would write them down and put it away. Gradually she took the steps to give them a beginning, middle, and a happily ever after. It has been a long time dream to have her stories published.has been a lifelong resident of South Dakota. Occasionally she ventures out, but being at home, with her family, is always the best place to be. Reading a romance novel is still the best reward at the end of the day.

Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance by T. Christensen. From page one I knew I’d love this story. The author knows how to write characters readers can connect with on some level. The characters each have something unique that drew me into their story and made me not want to leave. There was definitely times I wanted to smack a character but that made it all the more intense a read. The storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Characters are complex and relatable while completely captivating. I won’t be forgetting these characters anytime soon. I loved this story and can’t wait for more. Five stars all the way and highly recommended!

Christensen – Review by Katie Kearney
Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance is a great enemies to lovers & step brother/sister romance novel from T. Christensen. I had never read anything by this author before but these are 2 tropes that I enjoy reading so decided to take the plunge. I’m so glad that I took a chance on this book as I thoroughly enjoyed it. 17 year old Greer and her mum have just moved into her mum’s new fiance’s mansion. Her soon-to-be step brother Beckett does not like this one little bit as his dad has always told him to be wary of gold digging women. He certainly does not want Greer at his posh private school, so decides to make her life hell. I absolutely adored Greer as I see so much of myself in her. I have to admit that for a big chunk of this book I really did not like Beckett although he grew on me and became more likeable. I really enjoyed the dynamic between Greer and Beckett, both trying to deny their growing feelings for each other. As well as the two main characters this book has some really great secondary characters who add a lot to the story. My favourite of these was Beckett’s father, with the way that he did so much to make Greer feel part of the family. Although set in a high school this book has adult content, so may not be suitable for younger teens. I would definitely recommend this book for more mature readers.

Christensen – Review by Karyn Taylor
I have read step brother books from tons of different authors and this book stands out from the others. Most step brother books have more heat then anything. Battling Beckett stands by itself in comparison. Beckett lives with his dad and they are very comfortable. All his life his dad has always told him to becareful because women will be after him because of his money. Beckett goes to an elite high school, he’s the most popular guy in school and the quarterback to top it off. Before Beckett knows what’s happening, his dad is engaged and his fiancé Vivian and her teenager daughter Greer are moving in. Beckett keeps his eye on them and doesn’t really give them the time of day because he thinks they are out to get their money. Beckett is expected to be nice to Greer and help her along. She sticks out at her new high school like a sore thumb. She is very uncomfortable there. Once everyone knows she knows Beckett, she watched even more by her classmates. Beckett’s team members seem to be smitten with Greer and Beckett doesn’t like it one bit. Greer is attacked in the bathroom one day and as soon as Beckett hears about it, he changes his toon and tries to protect Greer any chance he can. That only brings more attention to Greer and whomever is out to get her gets even more angry because she wants Beckett for herself. This book had the reader feeling a lot of different things. I disliked the way Beckett behaved in the beginning but as the book went on I loved him. He is an honest stand up guy and will do anything for this he cares for. Greer and her mom Vivian are very stubborn and work for just about everything they have and refuse handouts. I felt horrible for all the torture Greer endured because of Beckett. I cannot wait to read more from this author. 5 stars isn’t enough for this book.

Christensen – Review by Michelle Mulvey
This is the first book I have read from this author and I loved every minute. I love a good enemies to lovers book and this talented author exceeded all my expectations. When I got this book I couldn’t put it down. I felt like I was back in high school all over again. It only took my a few hours to devour his amazing story.
Greer’s life changes in so many ways her senior year of high school. She was loving school but when her mom fell in love with one of the wealthiest lawyers of their town it all changed. Greer now lives in a beautiful home with a new family. She also has to go to a new school with her new soon to be step-brother. Beckett is a football god and he can have any girl he wants. He is a jerk to Greer in the beginning. She doesn’t understand why she is drawn to him. Greer sees the good in him but is it all for show? When danger threatens her will Beckett protect her or will he watch from the side lines?
I absolutely loved this book. The storyline has it all romance, suspense, and forgiveness. You can’t help but fall in love with these characters. Greer is a beautiful young lady inside and out. She wants to see her mother happy no matter how miserable she is. Beckett loves football. He is very arrogant in the beginning due to his past but he has a good side to him. These characters have some steamy scenes that will make your temperature rise. I loved that this book was in both characters points of view. It gives you a better understanding on how they really feel. This author will keep you at the edge of your seat until the end. I can’t wait to see what she will write about next.

Christensen – Review by Heather Bass
Battling Beckett By T. Christensen My rating: 5 out of 5 stars!
This is such a wonderful book. The story line is great, and really pulled at my heart many times. The characters were very nicely written as well.
Beckett, of course I think is a real piece of work, and I dislike him through most of the beginning of the book. Greer, I immediately love her. She is strong and independent and is good at sticking up for herself.
When all of the gossip and trouble follow her around, Greer will let it roll off and try to ignore it the best she can, and that feat in itself is amazing enough, I know I couldn’t. When her and Beckett start to get close, I did become more excited for their relationship, but it seemed there were just a lot of misunderstandings on her part, and I can understand why and sympathized with her. When she is traumatized by something that happens at her school dance it may change her relationships for good.
The secondary characters such as Beckett’s dad David and Greer’s mom Vivian, as well as her best friend Lexi and new friend Pepper are an excellent addition to the story. I would really enjoy seeing a book on Pepper and Mark’s relationship and Lexi and Jason’s relationship. I would highly recommend this book, I had literal tears, anger, sadness, and joy many times throughout the book and it is well worth the read.

Battling Beckett is a brilliant contemporary romance read written by T. Christensen. It’s well-paced and full of an amazing storyline. its a captivating read from the start and takes you on an emotional journey of two brilliant characters. Beckett & Greer are relatable and real and while Greer is easy to connect to Beckett take a little while to warm up to but in the end, I loved following their journey and hoped they both got a HEA. This read draws you in and you end up reading it in one sitting, but nonetheless, it gave me a brilliant introduction to this author and I can’t wait to see what else this author brings.

Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance by T. Christensen is a great story with strong characters. It is a quick fun read that have you cursing and loving the characters at the same time. This is definitely the type of book that, if you have a free afternoon, you can pass the time easily. You are drawn into the story effortlessly and definitely engage with the characters. At times I found the switch in POV to be a little unclear however for the most part it was easy to keep up with everyone and I liked that we saw things from both sides. I haven’t read too much by T. Christensen yet however the bits I have read have piqued my interest enough to know I want to explore more of her work in the future.

Christensen – Review by Kerry Baker
Battling Beckett by T. Christensen is a forbidden contemporary step brother romance novel. I know I say this in many of my reviews… but I’m going to say it here too: I had a hard time putting this book down. I stayed up late into the morning hours reading, then went right back to reading it as soon as I got home from school drop off. Let me start this review by saying that this book probably will not be for all readers as it has a high school setting, which some may not like the drama and whatnot. I however LOVED this book! This book alternates between different points of views, which I typically follow really well. With that being said there are times, especially towards the end, where the point of view rapidly changes between 1st and 3rd person so it does get slightly confusing. I found that slightly frustrating because it happened in an important scene, but it wasn’t hard to get through and get the true emotion and importance of what was happening. The character descriptions were spot on. Greer is shy and introverted, she is a starting at a new private school where she doesn’t know anyone and sticks out like a sore thumb. She has a soon to be step brother, Beckett, who could help make things a lot easier for her. Instead of doing that he decides to be an absolute jerk, which was frustrating for me as a reader because I could feel Greer’s struggles. I alternated between wanting to karate chop Beckett and give him a big hug through the majority of the book, which is what this author was aiming for. There is plenty of action, emotion, and friendships made throughout this story… it will suck you right in and keep you there even after you have finished the book. I would definitely recommend adding this book to your reading wish list.

Christensen – Review by Cassi Rogers
This is an awesome story! I was easily drawn in because it’s a step-brother romance. But the story and characters captivated me and kept me turning pages. There was so much tension between the two main characters. I could t get enough! I LOVE it! The dislike from Beckett and the peacekeeping from Greer are just a perfect set up!
The secondary characters…I love them! OMG the talk David just had with Beckett in his office. Puts all step dads to shame. I want David to be my step dad. Not for the money but because he is so sincere and nice and protective of theses two women. Then there is how it’s so easy to see his love for Viviene and by association Greer. I also adore the relationships each parent has with their child. Just makes me go “ooooo” when there are those scenes. Even the FB players were a fun to watch/read.
This is a first time author for me. Her character building was crazy good. While a few things bothered me I wouldn’t let it stop me from picking up this book! It’s a definite page turner and filled with so many wonderful characters. I almost can not wait to re-read!

Christensen – Review by Dawn Daughenbaugh
Battling Beckett by T. Christensen is a contemporary step brother romance. This is the first book I’ve read by this author but I definitely enjoyed reading it. I couldn’t put it down! I finished it in one sitting.
Greer’s life is changing. Not only is she starting her senior year but she will be starting it at a new private school and in a new home. The only problem is, her step brother has made it clear she is not welcome in either place. Beckett’s not sure he, or his father, should trust the new women in their lives but he can’t deny the protective instinct he has when it comes to Greer. Greer can’t help the magnetism she feels toward Beckett either. Will these two realize their feelings for each other or keep battling through them?
I really enjoyed this book. Greer is timid but she stands up for herself when she can. Beckett may seem like a jerk but he definitely has a sweet side as well. I couldn’t put this book down and highly recommend it!

Christensen – Review by Angelina Frazzini
Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Stepbrother Romance by T. Christensen is, as the title would suggest, a stepbrother romance- with an ‘enemy to lover’ aspect to the story. This new adult story made for some really great reading. It has plenty of drama, angst, friendships, high school politics, and emotions- with just enough danger and mystery to keep things interesting. Greer’s whole life gets turned upside down when she and her mother move into her (prospective) new stepfather’s mansion. Things should have been the beginning of a new phase of her life, with exciting opportunities to look forward to. But, her new stepbrother, as well as the mean girl brigade at her new high school- have made her life miserable. To add salt to her wounds, she seems to be developing feelings for her tormentor. But when danger threatens her safety, will he step up and keep her safe- or use the opportunity to rid her from his life? I really didn’t like Beckett for the first part of this book, because he was such an arrogant jerk- but, as the story progressed he slowly redeemed himself in my eyes. I really liked Greer, but her low self esteem really frustrated me at times- but I was invested in the characters and the outcome of the story. The whole cast of characters were really well developed- crafted into fully realised and complex individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks and flaws. They all added to the overall feel, flow, and development of the storyline. There were a few minor issues (Amazon Kindle edition) such as a few typos- wrong words being missed in the editing process- for example: council instead of console, to instead of too, tooth instead of took, were instead of wear. And there were parts of the story where it seemed to slip from third person to first person perspective, and back again. Again, these were fairly minor issues, and didn’t detract from my overall enjoyment of the book- they were just a little distracting, because when I came across one it pulled me out of this otherwise captivating story. The suspense, intrigue, tension, and chemistry were really well done- keeping me flipping the pages to discover how everything would play out. A testament to Ms. Christensen’s writing talents! I wonder what Ms. Christensen has in store for us next?

Christensen – Review by Angela Hayes
I have not read T. Christensen before but when I saw the gorgeous cover of Battling Beckett I just knew I had to find out what it was all about! I do have to say this book was good and it kept me in it till the end but I struggled with a few areas here and there. One major being my feelings about Beckett. I just struggled so much to get behind him. I knew where the story was going and how things were being set up and why, but I still found him to be a bit over the top in the alpha jerk role. He was mega mean like honestly I struggle with these type of leads because it is difficult to want the relationship to develop in the end. The catch with that is looking for the big character change, something I feel like wasn’t there with Beckett.
Battling Beckett is a step brother contemporary romance and so make sure that is your thing before reading. Greer is forced to change her entire life when her mom decides to be with Beckett Dawson’s father. She is moved into a preppy and very socially stuck up school where Beckett makes her life a living Hades in addition to doing so at home. So what happens when she starts to develop feelings for the one person who is out to do anything but love her? The premise is good, as well as the writing so I’m still going to give this one a four star rating. I look forward to seeing how things develop with the writing and the story characters in the next books to come.

Battling Becklett by T Christiansen was a captivating forbidden step brother romance. I would give this book a four out of five stars. I really loved Greer’s character and could relate to her. She has this quiet introversion that is so genuine that she seems to capture everyone’s attention. I found Beckett mildly annoying with his stereotypical jock bad boy. What redeems him is an understanding of what makes such a young man so jadee. I really enjoyed the pace and struggled to put the book down.

Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance by T. Christensen is a young adult romance story. It is a fun read but our main male character is decidedly a bad person who I did not like, he is the typical rich, entitled boy who gets what he wants . He a bit overpowering in the ego department who made the life of our female lead miserable. I would have liked to see the story told in multiple POV’s.
Greer and her mum are moving in with the Dawson’s, the new step brother and his dad. Beckett is not a happy camper and is out to make life a living hell. A new elite school where our top dog and number one egotistical Beckett goes and is the big football star doesn’t make life any easier for her. Somewhere along the way she finds herself with an attraction to the one who makes life miserable and inferior but will she act on those feelings?

Greer also starts a new school which is an elite Private school where Beckett goes and he doesn’t like that either.

Greer is shy and quiet and tries to just fit in the best she can but Beckett just keeps after her. Despite her hating it she finds herself attracted to Beckett. Will she give in to those feelings or will she continue to feel inferior. This is a sweet step brother romance even though you want to kill Beckett several times!

Christensen – Review by Tausha Treadway
This is a New Adult romance with open door sex told in third person. It is a story I would recommend to an older teen/young adult.
While this is classified as a “stepbrother” story it seemed more like a John Hughes movie with more explicit sexy times. It has all the classic trappings of a really good teenage drama.
The story flows well and I STRONGLY dislike(d) the main antagonist. He is an egotistical brat who makes the female protagonist miserable. There are great friendships born in this story and it was fun to read.

Christensen – Review by Maura Harper
Battling Beckett was a great 5 star read. I was pulled in right from the beginning.
This is Beckett and Greer’s story. Greer and her mother have recently moved into the house with Beckett and his father, and Beckett is not happy about it. Beckett is adamant that Greer does not act like she knows him at school, he is absolutely terrible to her.
Beckett is a hot as heck quarterback and despite his being mean to her, Greer is starting to have feelings for him. What is wrong with her?
Greer is a strong character and I really enjoyed her. Overall this was a great read and I highly recommend you start today so you can see just how things work out for this family. This is my first read by this author and I can’t wait to read more.

So I guess I can call myself a step-brother romance lover but this one topped the cake! the Feels were real and I loved all of the characters that played a roll! The tension they feel is real as well as the sizzling chemistry. This is one of those books that that you cannot put down. The minute you read the first page, it’ll suck you in until the last page and it’ll still stay with you. Both characters were perfectly written and you can’t help rooting for both!

Christensen – Review by Susan Mowdy
I do like the forbidden romance genre so I was really looking forward to reading Battling Beckett and I was not disappointed at all. I really enjoyed the story – I thought that it was well written, had a good pace and flow and I really liked the characters. The story was maybe a little predictable but I honestly didn’t mind because I was fully invested in Greer and Beckett’s story especially the deeper into the book I got. The author had worked really hard to make the characters relatable and this really helped me as a reader to understand their feelings towards each other. I would definitely recommend this story to others especially if you ate a fan of step-brother romances – it was definitely one of my favourites in this genre! I have read stories by this author previously and I shall look forward to reading more in the future.

Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance by T. Christensen 5 stars
This was by far one of the best step-brother books I’ve read. It was different yet connectable. I felt close to Greer and went through the emotions just like she did. I wished we’d have gotten a little more of Beckett, but what we did get was great. Lots of drama, its high school of course, internal battles and also some mystery. If you like step romances, this is for you and even if you don’t, its not your average story.

Christensen – Review by Lyndsey Fairley
This fast paced contemporary romance kept me engaged from beginning to end. The characters felt relatable and were easy to connect to. The themes were universal and felt relevant even if I’m far removed from this high school setting. Emotional and riveting, I enjoyed the character detail and the pacing. This was a first look into works by this author and I look forward to reading more from her.

I enjoyed this contemporay romance story. It is a well written story that is fast reading as well as engaging. Beckett and Greer are characters that are connectable as well as made the story realistic. They took me on an emotional roller coaster that kept me turning pages fast. Greer finds herself in a new home and new school but problem, Beckett doesn’t want her in either places. She is confused why she feels drawn to him. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens next.

Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance By: T. Christensen 5 out of 5 stars
The story Battling Beckett: A Contemporary Step Brother Romance by T. Christensen is a contemporary/sports romance book. It is a story that will pull you in from the beginning and it didn’t let me go until I had read the final page. I loved reading about the characters of Greer and Beckett. Greer has had her life changed when she moves into a mansion. She is going to a new school and has to deal with Beckett who is not welcoming. Beckett is at the top of the private school he attends. He doesn’t make Greer feel welcome either in the home they both live in or at school. Even with the tension that is between them Greer feels an attraction to Beckett. What does the future hold for Beckett and Greer? Will Beckett be more welcoming to Greer? Will Greer act on her attraction to Beckett? Read this book to find out. I grew to care about Greer with each chapter that I read and wanted her to be happy. Beckett is a character that takes a little bit to warm up to however I came to understand him and also wanted him to find happiness. There are additional characters that are introduced and many of them are good friends with Greer. I enjoyed reading about them. This is an amazing book that will have you hooked from the very beginning. I highly recommend reading it.

Christensen – Review by Laura Furuta
Greer’s circumstances radically change her senior year in high school. Moving from an apartment to a multimillion-dollar mansion should be an easy transition, but her soon to be step-brother makes it hell on earth.
Beckett is a football god and arrogant jerk. He makes it clear that Greer is not welcome in his home or his elite private school. And yet, she finds the battle with herself more confusing than the one with Beckett. Why is she drawn to him? Why does she see the good in him?
Even with all of the confusing and unexpected obstacles, Greer is determined to find a way to thrive and survive.
This book features an alpha hero and an introverted heroine in a high school setting, but it is meant for mature readers.
T. Christensen has been addicted to reading ever since she read her first romance book in middle school. When different characters and scenes started invading her brain she would write them down and put it away. Gradually she took the steps to give them a beginning, middle, and a happily ever after. It has been a long time dream to have her stories published.
T. has been a lifelong resident of South Dakota. Occasionally she ventures out, but being at home, with her family, is always the best place to be. Reading a romance novel is still the best reward at the end of the day.
