I won this in a goodreads giveaway and I'm a little unsure what to say about this one. On one hand I think the book is well written but some of the story themes weren't for me.

Without posting spoilers this book has a sort-of? love triangle involving two brothers. I think that it's a little harder to pull off this type of storyline in an adult book. Why? I think it's because we have different expectations for behavior in people depending on what their age is. I wouldn't have given it much thought in a young adult novel but I struggle with it in an adult romance because I keep thinking how immature the person is. Pair that with some graphic sexual encounters and I find it pretty unacceptable behavior and borderline scummy. I think opinions on this will vary.

Otherwise this novel has a pretty engaging storyline. I will note that most of the major story plots are unresolved at the end of the book. I'm uncertain if I will pick up the next book or not. The story had picked up a lot of steam at the end and I was starting to get really interested in what the resolution would be. So, to the-jury-is-still-out shelf you go.
