“Sucks, doesn’t it?” A beautiful smile plays across his lips. “Craving that fucking escape so badly, because someone else left you empty?”

Spoilers ahead: The story line was cool, sex scenes were good, and the ending was cute but there’s just some things I can’t get over. Kaleb not being able to listen to a girl saying stop or being in pain in bed is just something that isn’t redeemable for me. I also can’t get over the age gap between Jake and Tiernan and whole whole “family thing”. It’s also weird asf that she fucked her man’s dad. There was almost too much sex ar one point where I just wanted to get it over with and get back to the story line. I guess this kind of book just isn’t totally my thing and was a little too much for me. 

Spoilers- this book was not for me however it was well written.


Incest. R*pe. Ownership. Manipulation etc.

so fcked up but so good???? couldn't put the book down
Penelope Douglas is a queen idc she never disappoints (n her sex scenes are the best, literally no one can compare)
I loved Tiernan I related to her on so many levels and I loved seeing her grow
also loved the Van Der Bergs but I have to be honest...my heart only belonged to Kaleb
I adore him and I'm so glad Penelope chose to go in that direction for Tiernan's love story, it was the perfect choice
adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character

Another smutty read which I really enjoyed but it definitely will not be for everyone. Make sure to read the trigger warnings as the only polite way to put this book is many holes get filled by many people.

i couldn’t get over the fact that it was “family” even though it wasn’t blood. I think who tiernan ended up with was SUPER predictable. But I did like it overall just could have done without the family aspect of it lol.
