I genuinely don’t know how to feel. I almost DNF it but i wanted to give this book a chance. The book had its highs and lows but the main subject matter was hard for me to stomach at times. Don’t get me wrong i LOVE a good spicy romance, but a family spicy romance ? All of the characters have issues and i would highly recommend therapy. I didn’t hate this book, but i don’t think i would read it again.

I have a lot of mixed feelings. 😅

I didn’t hate it, but I kind of hate that I didn’t hate it. 😂

I just couldn't get over the MANY moral issues and felt like I needed to read the bible and go to church. I didn't buy the book but I still had buyer's remorse. 
Book’s so bad I broke my rule of not DNFing a book. Just yikes.

They really didn't have to be related, and the author really didn't have to keep reminding me.

After reading this book I am going to make my new years resolution to read the synopsis of each book before I read it - because I went in blind on this one and was just not prepared. 

I was definitely entertained before getting 50% of the way through the book, but pretty much as soon as you hit the half way point everything is (to put it delicately) intimate and weird. 

To be honest, I skimmed the spicy parts because they didn't make much sense, and the random "uncle Jake's" grossed me out.
