They never speak to each other, Kaleb isn't even in like half the book, he rapes her like it's going out of fashion. I have to mention something here, Pen's heroines have a commonality, they're young but have chutzpah, their physicality contributes to their beauty as much as their character which is very attractive.

at least one of them is going to r*pe or sexually assault her in any way shape or form, i mean, "It does get boring in the winter. Their books have been translated into twenty languages and include The Fall Away Series, The Hellbent Series, The Devil's Night Series, and the stand-alones, Misconduct , Punk 57 , Birthday Girl , Credence , and Tryst Six Venom . 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". To say I’d been dyyying to get my hands on the audiobook and re-read this since January would be an understatement. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.The first half of the book is a bit of a slow burn as we’re introduced to the main characters: Tiernan, Jake, Noah and Kaleb. I thought the way Tiernan just “shuts off” her strong feelings and chemistry with the two “unchosen” guys was pretty abrupt and it honestly felt a little off, since it was built up so much in the first half.

don’t not read this because it’s taboo or gross or stuff like that, i mean don’t if that’s not your thing, but definitely don’t read this for the sole reason that it is fucking boring and a waste of my time. And while I definitely respect and understand those limits, I also encourage anyone on the fence to give this a try if they feel so inclined. She was obviously very neglected and lonely, but had more or less come to terms with the fact that her parents didn’t care. Jake Van der Berg, her father’s stepbrother and her only living relative, assumes guardianship of Tiernan who is still two months shy of eighteen.

After years of hearing nothing but great things about Penelope Douglas' brand of steamy romances, I finally icked up one. noah did confuse me sometimes though because he acted all tough and bad or whatever but then was really gentle and chill the next second so that was kinda weird, it’s like the author couldn’t decide exactly what they wanted him to be like. 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. Following the sudden deaths of her parents, seventeen year old Tiernan de Haas is set to live with her father’s stepbrother and only living relative Jake Van der Berg and his two sons, Kaleb and Noah. Tiernan grew up alone with nannies until she was old enough for boarding schools and and during school breaks she was sent to summer camps.

Just because you've gone through traumatic situations does not make it okay for you to rape someone or react violently. but honestly, the last 30ish % should've started in the middle instead of at the end so there were more scenes with Tiernan and the guy she chooses.Kaleb was definitely the dark, mysterious, broody and dangerous of the three and while my heart broke for what happened to him as a child, I had a harder time feeling for his character in comparison to the others.
