This was a cool read, absolutely on the darker side, with good purpose at its heart. Abel wants to make sure his family is able to safely return to Sabine Valley and that they are in a position where danger won't as easily find them. I appreciate that this one strayed away from a dubious consent. It looked like that might be the case, but they did it in a way where they were sure that everyone wanted to proceed. For sure a fun read!

Premise seemed like it was going into the dubious territory, but I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't. The way it played out was interesting. It's a pretty steamy book. I'm still not a fan of one of the characters. Anyway, the relationships between the different pairings for all these brothers is intriguing, and sometimes downright hilarious thinking about how they've met their matches. 

The overall plot isn't as interesting as Wicked Beauty, but I'd continue reading just for the drama between the characters.

This book was probably somewhere in the middle of my opinion on Katee Roberts books I’ve read but I liked it overall - did a pretty good job redeeming Eli throughout the book but just felt like it felt pretty long for what it was (or maybe I was just looking for essentially a smut book and didn’t want a book that had as much plot as this had but idk lol)
