I know this book will not be everyone's cup of tea and that's ok. But........
I absolutely loved this book! It lives rent free in my head and always will!
This was the first book I read of Penelope Douglas after hearing so many people raving about it. Not gonna lie, I wasn't sure if it was for me when I read some of the reviews, the triggers etc. Boy! I am glad I read it. I fell hard into this book and devoured in 3 days. I would love a second book to this because damn, it would be immense!
From the moment I started reading it I was hooked, from Tiernan arriving on Chapel peak after losing her parents. I was soooooooo interested in Uncle Jake, Noah, and Kaleb. Especially when I realised they were not related by blood. This book is an emotional rollercoaster with the twists and turns.
The ending....I cried! The way this story unfolded, Tiernan and the guys getting a happy ending. This book has the perfect amount of spice, is dirty, taboo, and gritty. A book has never made me drop my jaw, but this certainly did!
Penelope Douglas can write. She writes in a way that any reader could understand and keeps it relatable. I honestly felt like I had a front row seat in Chapel peak with all of them. I’m so happy it began and ended at the peak, with all of them.
I have read this book a couple of times now and will no doubt read it again and again. If I am in a book slump, this is my go to book to get me out of it. I beg PD to write a sequel, pretty please!. Buy this book! You will not regret it! nSeriously, you won't.
