I found this book very spicy, and I didn't want to put it down until about 80% and then I had some problems with it.

I wasn't sure I wanted her to sleep with Jake first, but it ended up being a smart decision. I didn't love that she had anal without lube, so close after losing her virginity. That is one way of making sure you never do it again lol
Also, the slapping of her face when she was getting stitches - wtf. He could have told her to pinch herself.
This is a book where I would have preferred a why-choose. I don't think I would have chosen Kaleb, and it didn't really make sense to me. Jake would have been better. Why did she love Kaleb? because he can't talk, and then she wanted to break things off because he won't talk to her. She didn't have any psychology skills; she didn't try to heal him or talk to him about it, she just used her magical pussy, and then he started talking again. This is the reason that many women end up in toxic relationships, because they want a bad boy to change for them magically. We didn't really know anything about Kaleb except what happened to him as a child, and he likes anal lol

I might have given this 3 stars, but the whole cousin/uncle/niece combo just didn't sit right with me. Also, it wouldn't have been so bad if she was in her early twenties.
The lack of communication between everyone annoyed me to no end. Assumptions everywhere and no connection. Her initial relationship with Jake & Noah was lust. I'm honestly not sure how there was any connection with Noah, except she liked the attention given to her- good or bad. She could have been placed with anyone or moved onto college and fell in love anyone who gave her attention. Hell, she was confused when dancing with a girl.
I didn't hate this book, but considered DNF multiple times and would not recommend as an enjoyable read to anyone.

Someone (a very normal person, by the way) recommended this to me knowing this would be my first ~spicy~ book. Essentially it’s about a girl who is forced to move in with her uncle and his sons, one of which who often brings dead animals into the house. Somehow she develops feelings for all of them and while they’re all snowed in at the family cabin for the winter, things happen. This mostly made me wonder what goes on in the author’s mind, and if they’re okay. If you have one ounce of feminism in you, you will hate this book.
