This was gross, he’s flirting with a SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD CHILD that he is supposed to care for and I honestly felt more sick for most of this book than I have for most horror books that I have read. Just so icky and gross, I hate this.

I really liked this book. I was hoping that Tiernan would end up with

Jake as I like age gap romances, or Noah as he was sweet to her

. I liked the ending, and I thought throughout the book that

Jake would end up with Marai which i was happy about

. Good spice level throughout the book :)

Reading this again for the second time, I found it a lot harder to read the parts where Kaleb treats Tiernan badly. The fact that he called her a slut was very hypocritical of him, and I hated when he touched Tiernan sexually when she was asleep. I Especially hated when he was rough with her and didn't stop when she said no twice. I hated how possessive he was of her. He had a lot of shit to work through, but it worked out OK in the end

Honestly, I didn’t think I’d get that far, and I wish I didn’t. I’m not even sympathetic to tiernan….i blame her. Her parents die and she has no reaction, but when she sees her uncle or step-cousins, she full on changes her personality and mood. Penelope should get jail time for even thinking about this. I think she may have something for someone in her family…. Anyway, whatever money she got from writing this book should atleast be enough for a therapist(both me and her), if none of us get funded, I would personally pay for hers. I pray everyday for Penelope and you should too.

Only giving it a 4 star because I pictured them as not family. That was nasty and a no thank you. However the story line outside of that was decent.
