What in the Alabama-love fuck did I just read???

I knew what I was getting into when I picked this book up (it was free on Amazon one day, otherwise I wouldn't have read it), but I was not prepared for the cringe that came with it. Tierian's parents had been super rich movie stars, or something of the like, they died, and she moved to Colorado for the winter to live with her "uncle" Jake and his two sons for the winter. He is only her uncle because he was her father's step-brother, so I guess that made the author think "oh it's okay, they aren't actually related". 

Needless to say, she fucks her "uncle" and her two "cousins" and then ends up falling in love with one of them.

This whole book was cringe to me, but I was one more "Uncle Jake" during a spicy scene away from dnfing this book. 

If it wasn't free, it WOULD NOT have read it. Even looking past the whole cousin loving thing, the plot was bland and boring.
