4/5🌶

I was NOT expecting to eat this book up. Finished in 36 hours, it was so good. 

All three of them love her, would burn the world for her, but in such different ways. As much as she needs them, they also need her. They all needed to grow and get past trauma and bull shit, and they do it together. And the surprise with Kaleb at the end had me SOBBING. 

This was my first taboo romance book, and I have to say, I enjoyed it. I think it was because the familial tie was a label only, and not a previous relationship. The forced proximity of this made the tension all the more better, and as a 33yo woman, I would NOT mind a Jake lol. However, I don't think I'll be able to look at a secluded cabin the same way again 🤣

I wanted to hate this book so bad but I can’t not love it. Had me squirming in my seat, I couldn’t put the book down for hours. I would give it a 5 if the whole uncle/cousin thing wasn’t weirdly brought in into many of the sexual encounters. Other than that I fear I am team Noah till I die.

If you’re reading this book for a plot, you’ll be disappointed because it only makes up about 20% of the book. The rest of the book follows the interactions between the characters, so if you want taboo smut you won’t be disappointed.

Yes, the interactions, if not fiction, would be alarming but I think it’s unfair to review the book in that light. Considering its length I felt I sped through it and would recommend it for taboo romance readers.
