penelope douglas is insane. of all the things i could let touch my shakira, a vacuum cleaner is not one of them
Reading Five Brothers by Penelope Douglas and surface level, you think you're just getting a fun smutty taboo book about a woman on the rich side of town hooking up with the brothers on the wrong side of the swamp.
No, this book has made me ugly cry a few times on how it has approached mental health issues and trauma.
So I'm just gonna be over here in the corner, breaking my own damn heart over fictional characters I can't save.
I really hate when a book tries to make something out of nothing for drama. A stupid problem that could be solved with conversation! I don’t even want to finish it.
Rating: 5/5
Book Blurb:
One woman learns the secrets of the five Jaeger brothers in the new romance from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas.
On the other side of town, in the dark glades, under the rain…
Macon is the oldest. Thirty-one. Ex-Marine. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile.
Army is twenty-eight. A single dad with the most beautiful green eyes. He has no idea who he is, if not a Jaeger brother.
Iron will be in prison soon. You’d never think it to meet him. He’s a nice guy, actually. But he can’t stop reacting to everything.
Dallas is the one I hate. Twenty-one, cruel, and selfish. He takes and then throws away whatever’s left.
And Trace is mine. Or he was for about two seconds. No one can tame him for long.
Not that I ever wanted to. It was fun, but now I need to go home. Back to my side of the tracks. Away from the swamps and these men. To my parents’ big house. On my clean street. Where I’m never dirty or messy or hot. And I will. I’ll leave first thing tomorrow morning. I just want to crash on the couch tonight.
Their house is dark and quiet, everyone else is asleep. Except for one. He sees me crying and comes at me from behind. I let him wrap his arms around my body and hold me tightly. His breath is on my neck, his fingers are in my hair, and he doesn’t stop there.
I don’t think it was Trace.
Review:
One woman, five brothers, and the mystery of who is the one who stole her heart. Krisjen knows the Jaeger brothers and she knows that what she craves is someone to love her, to see her... and after one of the brothers sleeps with her and actually gives her what she's always wanted she's determined to find him and keep him... the only problem is she doesn't know which brother she slept with.
Macon: The oldest, a 31 year old ex-marine. Grumpy, imposing, cold...and yet she can't keep her eyes off of him.
Army: The 29 year old single father with beautiful green eyes. He's always kind... but has a broken heart from a Saint who left him.
Iron: Will be going to prison soon... but he's kind and caring, but can't help reacting to everything.
Dallas: The cruel 21 year old who hates her for no reason... who is selfish and petulant.
Trace: Playful and joking... never serious... and only hers for a time but no more.
Between these five brothers Krisjen has to figure out which one is the one, the one who saw her and fits her. But finding out means getting closer to each of them and it only makes it more complicated. On top of that Krisjen is looking after her siblings, dealing with a mother who would rather sell Krisjen off for money and an absentee father. Krisjen just wants to make money to save her siblings and finally find someone to love her... but the path to finding the one will never be easy and its only more complicated for a Saint like her amongst the tracks. Krisjen might be kind and sweet and look innocent but there is something darker in her, something that hungers and she's not afraid to stab to get what she wants. She needs someone to see her, to understand her and love her... and the one person who it might be will be the one person no one else expected. This BOOK, let me tell you the way I was kicking and screaming while reading this book. I love Krisjen so much, I love how badly she wants to be loved and how far she will go for those she loves. I love her sweet heart and honestly don't blame any of the Jaeger brothers for wanting to be with her cuz if it were me I would be first in line to ask for her hand. Now the romance in this one was so much fun because Krisjen has to figure out which one of the brothers is for her, she gets to know each of them more and we get to see more of their characters and sides. Macon, sweet sweet Macon, I just KNEW IT. I love how you can see him drop the hints of how much he is looking out for her whether he wants to or not and after everything thats happened to him, how much he cares for her and loves her. These two were so good together! ALSO CLAY AND LIV MY BABIES I AM SO HAPPY WE GOT TO SEE MORE OF THEM. AND LAST but not least that last paragraph, MISS PENELOPE WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?!?!?! AM I GETTING TOXIC CALLUM X DALLAS AT LAST? Those two boys are UNHINGED AND ABSOLUTELY INSANE. I CANNOT WAIT for the terror and chaos they will cause. As you can see I loved this book with my whole heart and absolutely need more books set in this universe for each of the brothers.
