Safety info, content warnings and tropes down below.

I was really excited for this story after reading A Pika’s Safe Haven, but sadly it did not deliver on anything I expected or wanted. I was waiting for covert cuddles and sweet family interactions, paired with Odessa’s usual spicy goodness. There were a lot of interactions over the phone which didn’t do much for me — if you’re a fan of phone sex in books then this is probably perfect. There were also a couple time jumps with no clear indication or info about how long, and the editing was rough. I do know the author was dealing with a sick pet and wanted to finish the book quickly, which I understand. Sadly it didn’t have great results for the story.

Traumatizing sentence incoming:

Maybe he got up in the night and dragged his wet ass across the hardwood floor like a dog with worms.

"I'm sorry that I'm not around as much anymore." I miss him, Father, and Callum. It's better if I don't live at home. Not with Altair. "Is it because of me?" Altair's voice is shaky and sad as he pulls away. I drop my arm over his shoulder and shake my head as I tuck him against my side once more. "It's because of me."

One day, if I'm not careful, I'll cross lines I can't pretend weren't crossed. I'm already close to my breaking point, and every time I see him, I get a little closer, but I can't bring myself to pull away. He's still my little brother, and I love him.
