Why Penelope Douglas thought it was a good idea to make the main love interest the same guy that actually r*ped her will forever be a mystery

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.
