and why would i not be intrigued by a h who gets stuck in the Colorado mountains with her step-uncle and two step-cousins?

and if you’re gonna “need” somebody like that, the least you can do is pick people better than them 💀.One of it is in Kaleb’s POV, and I think reading it helps you get to know him more and shows you the side of him the book couldn’t but you’ve always wanted to see. That said, I thought Penelope Douglas does a great job setting the scene in the remote mountains and it really does feel like anything can happen—and it obviously does. If you have read other Penelope's books you will know by now she has a lot of darkness in her stories and here us where the beauty comes, she took real feelings even the most dark and ugly and turns them in something amazing. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The book wasn't "I need to light myself on fire" levels of bad but I definitely won't be gathering around the fireplace with it.

he’s only part of the story when he’s fucking tiernan and then once that’s over, it’s bye-bye jake-y jake. Kaleb needs to go to rehab and just never talk to women again because no one no matter how horrible deserves someone like him. The different types of relationship in this book are so blurrily intertwined that I wasn’t sure what these characters meant to each other. I often struggle to connect to teenage protagonists because of my own age, but I saw so many pieces of myself in Tiernan.I think the book was pretty well written for the most part but I just wish it had been about her and Noah and maybe the rapey uncle could have been the bad guy that Noah saved her from in my ideal version of this story.

After years of hearing nothing but great things about Penelope Douglas' brand of steamy romances, I finally icked up one. pretty much the only thing i liked about tiernan was her love for the animals, so there was that ig. Front the first scene she meets Kaleb he nearly fucking rapes her and I knew I wouldn’t like him from that moment on.

But to me, it’s the words in the book I’m reading, not the little details here and there, though I understand some people collect books etc. I thought this was definitely more of a love square what with the three guys 😂 But yeah… this one surprised me in a good way! why was Kaleb even down for the threesome especially when it's WITH his brother and the woman he supposedly "loves" when he's apparently so "possessive".
