Plot Lines Weirded Me Out! :))

Realized there’s a plotline where MC finds her foster-brother (someone she’s considered her brother for the past ~20 years) and then… idk falls in love with him? The minute I started to get suspicious, I checked reviews for later books and turns out I was correct. Major ick on the books. 
Also the pacing is very fast, plot is splashed in between spicy scenes and seems almost as if the plot exists only to furthur spice scenes. Overall, not great books. I was enjoying them as a guilty pleasure up until the Sam plotline. (Still not sure why the author went for Sam, when Nico with a redemption arc would’ve gone crazy. But since I’m not finishing the series, I think I’ll just pretend that Nico is the fifth, not Sam..)
