Challenge Corner discussion

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 eighteen. 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 new adult standalone novel suitable for readers 18+.

Ch. 1-6 (view spoiler)[What in the hell is going on here?! This is the most bizarre shit ever. They’re all Fk’d up. And I’m assuming the brothers and their father just share “townies,” aka usable chicks. I have no idea what’s going on here, or how I’m supposed to feel. All the interactions between them are awkward yet lusty and I mean they’re not technically family but I still don’t know how I’m supposed to feel. I love RH and ménage but I don’t think that’s what this is. (hide spoiler)]

CH, 7-11 (view spoiler)[Still confused as hell here and mildly uncomfortable. And even pissed because I’m sorry that’s just so messed up she has to listen and see all three of them getting it on like ALLLLLL THE TIME. Not even sure if or when this will turn into a romance and who the hell will it be with?! I’m kinda turned off by them all at this point. It would be nice for things to be a bit clearer but damn they’re all so messed up. (hide spoiler)]

Ch. 12-31 (view spoiler)[I think if I knew to expect all this kinky fuckery I’d enjoy it a lot more. Kind of feels naughty like they really are related or something. And now it’s awkward between them all and probably always will be. Now Noah is making me question if she will stay with Kaleb. Don’t get me wrong though some of these parts are hot but I just feel uncomfortable lol. Totally nothing like what I expected from this author. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[Well I finished and still not sure how to feel. Still uncomfortable and feeling like I was caught doing something wrong lol. Now I’m sorry but pretty sure I’d consider what kaleb did as assault when she got away and ran to Noah’s room but she acted like nothing so are we supposed to too? I mean she was kind of enjoying herself but hot damn this shit was just too many shades of fucked up. This is soooooooo beyond what I expected and what I usually enjoy. In some ways it was good, pushed like every possible boundary and at the same time I really didn’t like it but more I didn’t like how screwed up they all were. It was like reality tv in the Colorado mountains for the winter. It ended good but more confused over my thoughts feelings and life itself after this book than ever before lol. (hide spoiler)]

Comment @ 24%, yes! I am so bored right now. It took me forever just to get to 24% lol

41%: (view spoiler)[I'm honestly still bored and not really into the whole family teasing thing. It's just really weird. I would also hate to be hearing all these orgasms at night. (hide spoiler)]

75%: (view spoiler)[Hmm I just don't really care about the romance between them.. because of the whole cousin/uncle thing. It kind of creeps me out. (hide spoiler)]

100%: (view spoiler)[Well, that's gross. She had a baby with her cousin. (hide spoiler)]

They're not actual cousins, you crazy. Lmfao.

It's no different from a stepbrother romance. Lol.
