I seriously thought about not reviewing this book, but finally decided to give it a chance. I have to say, it's not a bad book, if you like toxic, co-dependent relationships and/or with people who just want to get things done without giving up anything in return, then this is your series, and this is your book. It is well written, the personalities are complex, and it has everything, maybe too much. I mean, representation of the asexual spectrum, bondage, possessiveness, codependency, toxicity, love, jealousy, polyamory, controlling mothers, you name it, and you have it.

Please read with caution if you don't want minor spoilers.

What bothers me, and I said it in the previous review, and I am going to affirm it in this one, is the author's determination to want to describe the co-dependence, the toxicity and the relationship between the twins, and of the twins with Simon as a natural and normal. It is not. Now, if she simply needed to write this story, and give the corresponding warnings (which she did) and stop trying to say that if you don't see these types relationships as natural and normal , you are prejudiced... Let me tell you, No. I'm not prejudicing. I just finished Brothers of Reckoning, extremely taboo between a father and his son (and a lot of more things), and it was a freaking masterpiece. But toxicity and incest, (no matter how minimal) ARE NOT NORMAL OR NATURAL. That exist? Yes. That only the people involved have the right to decide how to live their lives, OK, but then, there are several sensitive topics that should also be seen as normal and natural, right? If sex between siblings is normal and natural, is it between sons/daughters and parents? Between grandchildren and grandparents? And that's just to give an example (With this I don't mean that the twins have sex, but... things happen, and there are hints that more are going to happen. In fact, as I said, it is mentioned in the warnings), so please don't try to sell this that way. Call it as it is and will be much better.

The other thing that bothers me is that in the first book, Simon establishes boundaries, boundaries that in the second book look very blurry. He is not a sexual person, why then should he allow these brothers to touch him, kiss him etc in such an intimate way? That is to say, the brothers already have their own partners to have sexual releases with... And... here comes the other thing. Poor partners... Having second place in everything, where everything has to be the way Damon and Declan want. The twins don't give up anything. Sage in this book, if he wants to be with Damon, he must accept the twins' situation with Simon. And why? Why can't Damon soften his relationship with Simon a little so that Sage is more comfortable? Why does it have to be just Quin, Sage and Zarek who have accommodate to what the twins and Simon want? If you're seeing how hurt they are, isn't there anything you can do to prevent that pain? Nope. That's not how twins think. And I understand it. One should not change because another person asks you to. One changes because one wants to change. But one can change the situation a little, without losing oneself, and one can meet the other person halfway. And yet, for the twins and Simon, it's either how they feel, think, or want, or nothing.

And I'm not going to say more. I'm finishing the third one, and... I guess the review will be very similar to this one.

I was giving an advanced review and voluntarily wrote a review.
