LOVED, LOVED, LOVED! This was so much fun to read and I love the emotional roaster coaster at the end. This book had me screaming, giggling, and kicking my feet! This is a tad taboo so this is not for the faint of heart by any means but if your soul less like myself, this is the book for you!

I didn’t expect much plot with this one, but it surprised me. Obviously it delivered the filth. Predictable, sure. I didn’t expect to get invested in the end and everyone getting their HEA.

her name is tiernan, what did you expect? 

I saw a video of Penelope Douglas saying she never told her dad that she wrote credence. Imagine her telling the old man that she wrote a book where the main character slept with her uncle then proceeded to sleep with his kids, her cousins, and she didn't even feel guilty about it. Tiernan you're fucked in the head bbg.

I bought this book under a false impression of what it was about.

I was honestly so taken aback & uncomfortable about the MC literally being groomed and sexually assaulted by her uncle and cousins. Even if they’re not *technically* related, his (step)uncle started lusting after his 17 year old (step)niece whose parents literally just died and left her under his care. Once she turns 18 (in just a few weeks after he moves in), proceeds to hop from bed to bed in the household, they ALL have sex with her.

(Excuse you, like, that’s a dad and his two sons being pussy bros and it doesn’t sit well with me)

The sex scenes might’ve been enjoyable, had I not been so grossed out by the entire situations. Not the book for me, for sure.

The spicy scenes really lived up to what everyone was saying. 10/10 in that aspect. The story itself started really slow and honestly wasn’t that exciting. But 4 stars cause I liked the spice
