Just a wholesome story of an estranged family coming together to help each other work through their past traumas. Just some good ol’ family bonding while snowed in.

I read this because of the talk/hype surrounding it in Bookstagram… I’m not sure how I feel about it though. I’m all for a taboo romance if the lead up at least makes sense. But this didn’t make sense. It was too much for no well justified reason. 

And the sudden turn around of Kaleb at the end of the book felt too sudden. We should have started with just a couple of words at a time. Not full sentences.

What a ride

An incredible roller coaster and I didn’t see that end coming. Loved watching Tiernan heal, grow and move on with her life after her parents deaths. And the boys, ugh

 I kept putting this book off, I was afraid I wasn’t going to like it despite all the positive reviews. Boy was I wrong! This book had me feeling all the feels lol. I was like WTF, heart broke, angry, and a big oh hell yeah! I had mixed feelings for Jake; I liked Noah but loved Kaleb. I am glad I bit the bullet and finally read this book.  

I want to forget bout this Book

So many mixed feelings about this one. She wasn’t 18 yet and all 3 were all over her… Spicy? YES! Everyone talks about the couch scene but OMG the scene with BOTH brothers?!

Wow, ha sido increíble ❤️‍🔥. El cambio de Tiernan, lo jodido que es todo, los Van der Berg... Impresionante. Penelope consigue mantener una tensión sexual continua, y cuando esta explota, lo hace de una manera... Creo que acaba de convertirse en mi libro favorito de la autora.

This book was such a ride! It started off a bit slow, but once it picked up, I was hooked and couldn’t put it down. I have a love-hate relationship with Jake—like, I get why people don’t like him, but I also get why people do. Noah? Absolute sweetheart. And Kaleb… oh my god, that man. Each of these men gave Tiernan something she desperately needed. She had to grieve in her own way, and she finally got the love she deserved. Overall, I loved it. It was messy, dark, and amazing. Highly recommend!
