I’m not sure what the plot was of this book but I know I enjoyed reading it. It was a good time. It’s about a 17 year old girl who lost her parents to ssuicice and she has a lot of trauma and emotional damage. Because she is under age she has to be sent to her only living “relatives” her dads step brother Jake and his two adult children. Noah and Kaleb. There’s a lot of sexual tension between her and all of them. Her “uncles” business is motorcross and they live in Colorado high in the mountains and when the winter comes they are snowed in for months at a time. She learns about herself and ultimately starts to heal some of her traumas. The spicy scenes are so freaking good. Jake takes her virginity. Noah and Kaleb share. And ultimately she ends up with Kaleb. She has the most connection with him and trauma shares the same things. HEA

I want to know... WHO HURT YOU, PENELOPE DOUGLAS!

Fantastic book, while as taboo as they come. The underlying theme of grief and abandonment was compelling and emotional.

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.

This book was so fucked up. I need to take a shower with bleach.
Straight up incest and romanticised assault, rape and lack of women’s rights. There is no way I wouldn’t have finished it if it wasn’t for book club, when we just wanted an easy sexy read, little did we know it was gonna be do disgusting to read. Would give it a -10 if possible.
