Publisher's Summary

From New York Times best-selling author, Penelope Douglas, comes a new stand-alone!

Three of them, one of her, and a remote cabin in the woods. Let the hot winter nights ensue....

Tiernan de Haas doesn’t care about anything anymore. The only child of a film producer and his starlet wife, she’s grown up with wealth and privilege but not love or guidance. Shipped off to boarding schools from an early age, it was still impossible to escape the loneliness and carve out a life of her own. The shadow of her parents’ fame followed her everywhere.

And when they suddenly pass away, she knows she should be devastated. But has anything really changed? She’s always been alone, hasn’t she?

Jake Van der Berg, her father’s stepbrother and her only living relative, assumes guardianship of Tiernan who is still two months shy of 18. Sent to live with him and his two sons, Noah and Kaleb, in the mountains of Colorado, Tiernan soon learns that these men now have a say in what she chooses to care and not care about anymore.

As the three of them take her under their wing, teach her to work and survive in the remote woods far away from the rest of the world, she slowly finds her place among them.

And as a part of them.

She also realizes that lines blur and rules become easy to break when no one else is watching.

One of them has her.

The other one wants her.

But he....

He’s going to keep her.

*Credence is a full length, stand-alone romance suitable for listeners 18+.

Wild Taboo Romance

Well, what a wild ride I say. It was going well for most of this book until there was a turning point in why she choose a particular love interest in the end. I did enjoy the book don’t get me wrong just the actions of one character lashing out made me struggle for the last 100 pages of the book I didn’t feel anything for them. I also found it didn’t have much of a plot. The plot mainly revolves around the FMC. My order of choice would be Jake, Noah then Kaleb personally for me. The spice, tension and angst were fantastic though and I enjoyed the intimate emotional moments. Just wished it played out a little differently.

Not sure.

If you think about this story too much, there are many things which make some people uncomfortable. Does the end help you get over the uncomfortable situations. For some, and you can read it in the reviews for this book, it causes them to not finish the story.
For others the relationship between the characters, adds to the story.
I enjoyed the story.
Narration was good althpugh the story line follow a predictable path.

Captivating!!

God I'm so happy I found this book. This story was dark, emotional, captivating and kept me absolutely enthralled. Each character played such an important part in the story and their individual connects to each other all tied and fitted perfectly. I sobbed through the last quarter of the book but the ending left me with the biggest smile. This book was beautifully written and I can honestly say out of the 30 or so books I've finished this year, this one is in my top 3.
CONTENT warning for those not used to dark romances, this one would be very triggering for some.

Disappointing Narration

The female narrator sounds like she is perpetually bored. I had to listen to her in 1.2 or 1.5 speed just to make it bearable. Uncle Jake’s voice is also terrible- it’s read like he is yelling or speaking through gritted teeth. I wish I had just read the book. Even though it’s twisted, I enjoyed the plot!

I just adored the characters

I loved the build up of characters, then the build up of winter and the ending.
