Honestly, I really enjoyed this book. 

I went through similar trauma to Tiernan and I connected with her. I too had my moments where I just wanted to be loved and looked for anyone to make me feel good & feel loved because I never felt like I was loved by my father or anyone else in my life other than my mom - like tiernan with her parents. 


It may just be me but I didn’t think this was anything too crazy regarding dark romance but to each their own. If you are triggered by abuse, death of parents, aggressive male behavior, lots of sex and even scenes that are on the verge of rape, don’t read this book. 

The character development is great in my opinion and to see all of the characters help eachother heal their trauma is awesome! Regardless of how that healing is done.

Not into the incest. Step Uncle or not, it’s sick and I’m not interested.

I absolutely should not have enjoyed this as much as I did, but this was a great book. Read in one sitting.

this book was very engaging and i did enjoy the plot. i loved the evolution of the characters and how they all healed together. the only thing i was bothered by was the forbidden romances. i don't like huge age gap relationships and i thought the undertones of incest made the book kind of creepy. even tho theyre not blood related, it was still weird. i am conflicted tho. that is a huge turn off for me but i did enjoy reading the book otherwise. i liked how they were in a mountain town and she learned how to take care of land and animals. there is smut in it so just be prepared for that 😭

Jag gick från att älska till att hata kaleb jag vet inte hur många gånger men är glad att jag hade hopp om honom hela boken🫡🫡 så fkn bra. Jag GRÄT när kaleb pratade, älskar honom🫶 DOCK är scenen i hennes sovrum och kaleb inte något jag uppskattade direkt, vet inte vad det räknas som heller
