I will admit. I am kind of scared to be writing this review. I’m judging myself right now. I’m all about taboo books but ya’ll…this was more than that…and it was so fucking good. (Sorry for swearing but I don’t even know what to say right now). This was dirty and scary and raw and real and I got nauseous so many times but also turned on and I don’t even know where my head is at right now. Yikes.

Okay so…incest. How are we doing? Yes, I just dropped that big, bad word. Still with me? Alright. So this is the story of a brother and sister falling in love. Guys. What is happening in my head right now because…like…I was ROOTING for this couple. Rylie suffers from bipolar disorder, she has her entire life. She’s seventeen when this story starts, still in high school. Hudson is in college playing baseball and trying to stay faithful to his girlfriend, Amy. And then their parents die in a tragic car accident, throwing these two together in a way they never have been before. Rylie was always the annoying little sister to Hudson. She was always a nuisance who caused more trouble than she was worth according to Hudson. Until the death of their parents. Rylie clings to Hudson like a second skin and instead of being irritated by it, Hudson craves it. He can’t deny her anything. He sees her in a new light. Now, Rylie has ALWAYS had a thing for her brother. I’m talking huge, massive crush that gets her hot in seconds just thinking about him. The instances start out really small. Lingers looks and touches. They sleep wrapped up in each other. Then it gradually gets more and more intense. 

The sex in this book is more than hot. Could be because it’s forbidden? I don’t know. I don’t want to go that far. If you’ve made it to this part of my review, it’s safe for me to assume that you might also be into this book. I read The Wild and The Free before this, but didn’t write reviews for those. The Wild was interesting because you think it’s a father/daughter relationship until you find out that it’s not at the very end. But The Free? That’s some first-cousin loving. Truthfully though, those were TAME compared to this bad boy. I feel so dirty now but I wouldn’t take back a second of this reading adventure. You have to open up your mind here. It’s about breaking the mold. This is a real love story, deeper than most people might be able to dive. But hey, love is love, right? I’m delirious right now. All I want to do is re-read but I’ve decided to take a little breather and try out some vanilla books for a while. I need a cool down. Alright my friends, this is a judgement-free zone so if you read and love this and want to chat, come at me. 5 stars. 

Side note: this is a BANNED book. You cannot purchase it on Amazon. I purchased my copy off of Eden Books. Praise hands for that website. 

ANOTHER side note: I understand that this book is taboo and banned for a reason. If it’s not your cup of tea, I completely understand! Please don’t come at me for enjoying this book! It’s not difficult for me to suspend my disbelief and gain something from a book like this. To each their own. Lots of love! Xoxo.
