Loved it and at the same time... Spoilers ahead! Right after I read the burb, I wanted the book. Badly. This story has some dark theme (but its not dark), and really dirty (It was so hot lol) What I loved the most was the writing style and the story as a whole. You will be sucked in from the first page (so don't read it after dinner, you might not sleep all night) The characters are amazing too, each with their own flaws and how they deal with it, at the same time support Tiernan. --- (Spoilers here, don't read it if you haven't read the book - spoilers will ruin the story) Tiernan is a very complex character, and I love how she comes out of her shell. What I don't understand kind of, is why she ended up choosing the one guy she never had much interaction with. I loved Kaleb, but I think his character was the least explored in the whole story. When the book ended, I realised I never got time to spend with Kaleb and to understand him. He had a lot to offer to the plot. The other guys, Jake and Noah, both felt something for Tiernan, and *ahem* acted on it. But later, with Kaleb in the picture, it was as if nothing happened. The feelings just fizzled out. I think that wasn't dealt with properly. -- Be warned: This book is filthy, Alexa Riley hot but with an intriguing plot, and taboos galore. 4 stars

💌 : 'avoiding the bad means you risk avoiding the good, too, and i’d rather be hurt than never not feel this.'

look, i always try and to give taboo books like this a chance. sure the incest did gross me out, but i could look past it mostly because they aren't a close knit family. 

ill start with what i liked, the writing was good and i did enjoy most of the characters separately. the found family aspect (lol 'family') was cute and how the boys really did want to protect tiernan, even if it was sometimes misguided. 

now the boys, jake, youre telling me this old ass fucking man wanted to fuck his MINOR niece?? im sorry but i dont care if she 'wanted it' she was SEVENTEEN. i really could not like him, sure some parts i was like okay hes not too bad but then hed turn around and do something that pissed me off. 

noah, he was the most tolerable. he wasnt overly jealous or a raging dick but still DONT FUCK YOUR COUSIN WHAT THE FUCK? but if i had to pick i liked him most. 

kaleb, for half this book i was like 'aw omg he's so sweet.' but lets be so serious. he forced himself on her MULTIPLE times may i add, hurt her, and everyone excused it because he was sooooo misunderstood. oh fuck off. he was a child cosplaying a twenty two year old man child. when he didn't get his way he acted like it was tiernans fault, like babe seek fucking therapy. 

tiernan was okay but like seriously? you couldn't fuck anyone BUT your family? i honestly just feel like she's a victim and needs to be saved.

I kinda liked it. Not really sure why though.

This book literally wouldn’t have happened if even one of the characters went to therapy. But I enjoyed it, lol

Three of them, one of her, and a remote cabin in the woods. Let the hot, winter nights ensue in this steamy dark romance from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas, now with bonus material. Tiernan de Haas doesn't care about anything anymore. The only child of a film producer and his starlet wife, she's grown up with wealth and privilege but not love or guidance. And when her parents suddenly pass away, she knows she should be devastated. But she's always been alone, hasn't she? Jake Van der Berg, her father's stepbrother and her only living relative, assumes guardianship of Tiernan. Sent to live in the mountains of Colorado with Jake and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, Tiernan quickly learns that these men now have a say in what she chooses to care and not care about anymore. As the men take Tiernan under their wing, she slowly finds her place among them. Because lines blur and rules become easy to break when no one else is watching. One of them has her. The other one wants her. But he's going to keep her.

I loved it! Even though it was weird at the beginning, I was excited about the story. I just had to stop reading it because I looked up who she ended up with…(I know it's my own fault). And I like Kaleb but I think she should have been in a relationship with Noah - I found it much sweeter and more pleasant than the one with Kaleb. I don't like how he really treated her like dirt sometimes.. :/
