Where the hell to begin...

The incest was the thing that bothered me the least in this book.

All of you that drool over this book and go crazy over this, I DGAF, I am yucking your yum!!!! GO TO THERAPY!! This is about a recenly orphaned minor who turned 18 for 5 seconds before 3 adult men had their way with her.

Go google Wrong Turn and click on images. There's your precious Jake, Noah and Kaleb. I said what I said.

We need to bring back some sort of shaming because FFS. Surely we can write taboo romance without the men acting so perverted?

What in The Hills have Eyes hillbilly bullsh** was this? I am not even that disturbed that she got it on with 'family' but the way those men would go on at times was just disturbing and gross. They protect her from the bad men in town just to put p*rn on the tv and pass her around like a bottle of Jack? Berate her for being interested in other boys but they have women coming and going all times of the night.


No Kaleb, please don't 🍇 HER, that's the cousin. Go wash the deer blood off you, Tiernan.

Kaleb, now that dad has had his turn, let's have a 3-way with her after she sliced her arm up and almost died in a fire.

!!!!!!!! I HOPE MY BROTHER IS LOOKING UP FROM HELL WHILE I **** HIS DAUGHTER'S *****!!!!!!!!!!!

**not actual dialogue but close enough**

"Wait until we're snowed in" f***********ck off. Do you have that little control over your genitals that you say that to a recently orphaned minor???????

Uncle Jake is not a good man. He's a perv who raised pervy children. He needs to be smacked a few times in the head and act like a damn parent, not the head of a fraternity house. But no, he drooled over the pretty virgin orphan NIECE and actively allowed his sons to do the same.

I'm sorry, found family my ass.
