kristenthebookworm's review against another edition

I can see why some people were absolutely freaked about this book. It’s certainly a forbidden romance, with some taboo elements that might give you the ick if you think about it too literally.
I liked this book overall. The plots were interesting enough, with Tiernan moving into a middle of nowhere town with her late father’s “step family”. The multiple POVs allowed us to get to know each character and have a better insight into their thinking. I thought some parts were unnecessary (like why did Kaleb have to do what he did on their first meeting), it just seemed unnecessary. I liked how it ended though, and where each character ended up.
I also read this super quickly, in less than 24 hours.

Maybe it’s the absolute degenerate in me, but I didn’t hate it. Could not have read if they were actually related cause no thanks to incest, but it wasn’t terrible.

Serious amount of spice however, it is so beautifully written. The peak sounds so so picturesque that it now lives in my brain rent free. The way love is described as a feeling is so simple but also powerful. I could not put it down and I have a feeling this book will stay with me for a very long time.
