Nurse Julia Hughes takes a new job at the estate of the de Vincents in this terrible adult contemporary romance.
This book was a hot dumpster fire, ya’ll. The biggest issue – the one to completely pull me out of the story – were all the grammatical issues, including misspellings, missing words, and pronoun disagreements. I legit thought it was self-published with no editor until I read the author’s thanks to her editor in the afterward. Let me tell you, I was flabbergasted. Every chapter was filled with errors to the point I almost DNFed the book. Almost.
My second biggest issue had to do with two of the brothers, Lucian and Gabe. It was hinted several times that they “shared” women – and not in just “we both slept with her” type of way. As in they had a threesome with a woman together. And I just…no. No, no, no. That’s my one ick factor. Polyamory? Sure. Threesomes (or more)? Ok. But siblings indulging in sexual acts with each other in the room? Hard pass. Fortunately, this story doesn’t go all the way down that route, but it got too close for my comfort zone.
After all that bitching, you’d think this book would deserve a 1 star. And you’re probably right. However, I picked up this story figuring it would not be good. I needed a book to help me unwind from the fabulous A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire (also by this author). I wanted something to entertain me without engaging me. Plus, the sex scenes were pleasantly steamy so I’m going with 2 stars. I will not be reading any others in the series.
tl;dr Plagued by grammatical issues and a triggering plot point, this book’s only saving grace was its ability to entertain me.
