It was kinda great until it wasn’t! Slow towards the end and made less and less sense.

Tiernan’s very famous parents die just shortly before her eighteenth birthday. She should be heartbroken and depressed but instead she just feels empty inside.

Her step-uncle becomes Tiernan’s guardian until she becomes of age. She’s never met him or his two sons and doesn’t really have any desire to go into the mountains of Colorado to live with them for two months. But, she also wants to run away from the paparazzi and crazy world that her parents loved.

Tiernan’s time in the mountains will totally change her. She will have to read people and learn to trust her gut. She won’t always do that very well but if she wants the first thaw of spring to save her she’ll have to get better at it.

What a wild ride! I didn’t hate it at all. This book may be a bit polarizing for some but it is such a good read. I wasn’t sure where we were going to end up or how we were going to get there but I knew I’d be clutching my pearls all the way there.

WHOOP WHOOP ITS THE SOUND OF THE POLICE
This book caught me off guard. I was not expecting…this.

It was almost a slap to the face. I mean I read it because of the age gap BUT WHAT THE FUCK

This was so intense, the smut was so good( yes I don’t care) it was so good I’ve never felt something to smut before the way I felt for this book. 

I thought birthday girl was smutty. This was ten times better. 

Now don’t get me wrong, Jake is hot I’d really want him but he’s in his forties. He fucked tiernan when she turned eighteen and already touched her before when she was seventeen. I don’t know but this is kinda… wrong. Anyway who gives a fuck it’s a book.

Kaleb was a ravenous animal. Their first interaction wasn’t what I excepted. I get he’s mute but the fuck he acts like a 5 year old and doesn’t stop until he gets what he wants. He’s hot though. They all are. That’s the issue.

Omfg this girl gets abused and raped and she brushes it off. Did she actually want it? I was so confused Because she kept saying no and stop sometimes but still continued? Is it a kink of hers? I don’t fucking know but these guys. Oh my days.

The way they kept repeating you’re ours( Noah specifically)I found it really weird. She was like a sex pet for the three men. 

excuse me???? You can’t just say that. You can’t claim her like that. She had a fucking threesome with the brothers. If that ain’t fucked up i don’t what is. 

Also she’s so fucking confusing. It’s like she wants a different man in each chapter. LIKE PICK ONE INSTEAD OF TOYING AROUND. she was pretty much a slut. So damn depraved and needy. I felt shameless and embarrassed for her. But I get it I guess.

The ending is so fucking sweet but it’s like a separate book if that makes any sense, they’re no longer fucked up, tiernan is no longer a hoe and fucking three men at once, a little confusing but it’s fine.

“My home is where you are” I was so happy when he spoke, idk it was really sweet. But I really can’t get past the fucked up bit in this book. But I shamelessly liked it. The ending is just great for me, happy ever after and all that snobby stuff.

Like damn your mama slept with your uncle and your grandpa. HAHAHAHAH WHAT THE FUCK I just realised the intensity of this plot. And also I read a review about this book “wholesome family bonding” that shit took me out. But in all fairness the writing is good and the smut was…
