this is a slow burn romance, there IS a love triangle involved, and it s between two brothers Obviously, I have my favourite over which one I think she should be with, but it wouldn t be the first

having a love triangle thrown into the mix I am hoping it will be resolved in the next book, so we can concentrate...
