I honestly don’t know how I feel about this one. I found myself mildly uncomfortable and annoyed half the time and the other half made me giddy. I’ve seen this one all over and it was not what I thought it was. The first half was a little slow for me. It’s a spicy book with some questionable themes but if you don’t mind that, this is one you should check out. I think my least favorite thing was the characters themselves. I am a reader that gets very attached to characters and the more I like them and/or relate to them feeds into how much I enjoy a book overall. I found Tiernan annoying, Jake was rude, Noah had a sassy side that bothered me and Kaleb was just creepy. The ending also seemed a bit abrupt compared to the progression of the rest of the story.
