I honestly didn't think I would like the book. I found it on tiktok and thought what the hell. It was good though, the writing was good and the NSFW scenes were good. I found myself enjoying Lincoln and Penny a lot more than I thought I would and ended up cheering for them in the end

I cannot believe I didn't connect Penny and Lincoln to a Penny (1 cent) that made me gasp when it finally did click LOL
I thought I would hate this more since idk if I really vibe with the cousin but not trope of it all.
It did rub me that wrong way when Lincoln was trying to persuade Penny during that first initial weekend. It felt so manipulative and when Penny's mom said at the end of the "You took advantage of her" I was like "same thoughts girl"
The twins finding out and that whole situation was so funny. When this happened "Maggie furrows her brow and looks at Gavin. “Is there something we’re missing here?” “No, just fucking with Lincoln.” I full on laughed. Sidenote: I knew it!! the twins were freaky together LOL.
I was sad for Penny when her bio mom ended up unalive. that truly did shock me.
For what it's worth, I think Penny and Linc did end up being cute together at the end. I guess I liked that they both found peace and happiness together.The fact that Penny can drive again is great

i feel unqualified to rate smut in comparison to everything else i read, the standards feel completely different LOL (coming off of James by Percival Everett) - overall tho, my major markers- the plotline, smut, and characters were individually really good & i thoroughly enjoyed this read.
i loved Lincoln (obv) and while penny was a bit whiny (like they usually are 😭) she had her reasons and i respect that. i love each of the characters honestly - i’m not in a big hurry to go back and read Aiden’s story but i very well may but DAMN if i’m not anxiously awaiting a story for the twins. it was a slow start for me (like almost everything at this point) but when i picked up and started reading it, i finished in 2 days.
and goTDang lincoln carlson’s mouth 😋 truly delicious

<b>“What is your problem, Lincoln?” my brother asks. Our pretty, unobtainable cousin. That’s my problem.</b>
I absolutely ate that up! Taboo romance, solid character growth, a man obsessed (<b>I open a browser and pathetically search for ways to make a woman fall in love with you, romantic gestures, and therapists’ offices near me</b>)- yes please!

-No Kissing Rule
Penny is struggling hard with her people pleasing and always needing to be the happy go lucky on (god forbid she's sad ever, someone might not like her!). Thankfully our girl is in therapy and working on herself. She decides she needs to take a break from men, and goes to a club looking for an anonymous hookup - hoping that without being able to see the guy, she won't be able to catch feelings.
Lincoln, middle child, while successful and appears to have it all from the outside, is still reeling four years later from a breakup that broke him more than he ever let on to others. He's a dick to everyone, family included, and he's just looking to get his release without a woman wanting more. Enter, the anonymous hookup - she can't fall for him if she doesn't know who he is.
The downfall neither saw coming - they both get hooked on one another FAST. It was a little bit of a stretch to accept that Linc falls for this mystery woman so quickly and so obsessively (let's be for real, we all knew Penny was gunna fall, that's why she never told her therapist her plans). Once they realize their mystery partner is each other, they're torn, they both want more, but it could get messy with their family. Penny is worried that if it all blew up in their face she'd lose the family (she's the adopted one) while Lincoln wants to shout it from the rooftops!
