~edit because I need to not write reviews at 1:30 am~

The spice in this book was in fact top tier. However, watch your triggers.

I did not like the main character at all. I found her annoying, and she had little to know growth as a character. I did like the brothers; in fact, I fell in love with one of them. I will admit that I also cried at the end, but that is because I am a hopeless romantic.

I have to knock a few points off just because there were some continuity issues in places, and spots where conversations didn't quite make sense. Could've used a little extra time in the editing department.

this book would’ve been so much better without the Jake storyline. the fact that all 3 guys wanted her but moved on so quickly just felt so forced, and Jake being into her was sooo icky to me. it would’ve made so much more sense if she had started a fling with Noah and then fallen for Kaleb, or if there was a little more of a fight between the guys. there was so much build up and tension with the guys but basically as soon as it started, it ended. i also feel like she and Kaleb didn’t have enough of an emotional connection to justify her being in love with him after a few months. he doesn’t talk and he was so hot and cold with her, that it really just felt like he stockholm syndromed her into a relationship with him. i feel like the romantic plot of this book was purposefully more complicated in order to keep the readers interested, but i honestly think it would have been better if it was more simple.

DNF at 30% super boring, incest vibes, and everyone in this town is too horny for my liking.
