This story follows Dempsey, who is forced to move in with her mother while on the run from her father. Newly married to a billionaire, her mother’s home includes Dempsey’s three infuriating stepbrothers. But when lines begin to blur, can they resist temptation and keep their hands to themselves?
This was a super spicy and fun read with enough plot to keep you engaged. I loved how hot-headed Dempsey is and how she stands up for herself. In terms of the stepbrothers, I have to say Dacre takes the top spot as my favorite MMC, followed by Sinclair, and then Presley. Dacre has that broken-artist vibe while still being a passionate lover. Sinclair is a dominant who craves control, but watching him unravel for Dempsey was so fun. Presley, on the other hand, feels like an immature frat boy—flirty and unpredictable but entertaining nonetheless.
The pacing of the book is fast and somewhat choppy. By “choppy,” I mean it often skips ahead days or weeks between chapters. The chapters themselves are short, and the overall plot moves quickly. Despite this, I didn’t mind the fast pace—it made the book easy to read and kept the spice front and center. Speaking of which, the paint scene with Dacre was absolutely superior!
The story does end on a cliffhanger, so I’m definitely looking forward to the next book when it comes out.
