#BookReview: Five Brothers (Tryst Six #2) by Penelope Douglas





One woman learns the secrets of the five Jaeger brothers.

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.







RAITING: ⭐
REVIEW: 
I couldn't finish Five Brothers, and honestly, I’m pretty shocked by the popularity of this book. The spicy scenes were downright vulgar and, frankly, not romantic at all. The moment the characters started having sex in a cop car, I was completely disgusted. This wasn’t just inappropriate; it felt degrading, and I couldn’t get behind it as any form of romance. I have to seriously question what kind of relationships people are looking for when they enjoy bully romance like this. Is this really what you want in a partner? Someone who treats you like garbage and only sees you as something to use, going from room to room for their pleasure? It’s troubling, and I just couldn’t continue. This book didn’t sit right with me at all.
