Pinewood Lodge by Odessa Hywell
5.0
5/5. Highlights may contain spoilers. Read at your own risk.
Content Warnings for book: Cheating (not between MCs), pregnancy
Kink: D/s vibes, rough sex
Pinewood Lodge is a very hot, pine-filled step-relation romance. It has cheating on spouses, secret hookups, and a wealth of emotions shared between the characters. Despite all those warnings, it is surprisingly low angst.
It's Christmas time for the family and everyone is gathered with their family. Simon, the stepson, is with his wife who is actually asexual and aromantic. While she is pregnant through IVF with his child, it is a child of platonic love. Then you have the marriage between Hunter and Simon's mother - which yes, was a marriage of love until he started to gain feelings for Simon and his romantic ones for his mother had faded. This sets the stage of a taboo, forbidden romance under hidden looks over the years.
Over this holiday in the cabins, secrets come to the light. There is pain and there is hurtful truths. However, there is also support and a HEA for our couple in all of the "traditional" ways. I can't say much more without spoiling even further, but I highly recommend this book!
