Book review
Quick Summary:
This book? Whew. If stepfamily tropes, intense spice, and emotional chaos are your jam, then you’re in for a ride. With one bold FMC and three irresistible MMCs, Credence serves up drama, heartbreak, and steam that’ll leave you fanning yourself.
The Good:
Tiernan is a relatable queen, finding herself (and maybe a new sense of “home”) in the most unexpected ways. The story grips you with its twists, heat, and Kaleb—aka Mr. “Cyclone” himself. The tension? Chef’s kiss. The spice? Off the charts.
The Not-So-Good:
The middle dragged slightly, and Tiernan’s dynamic with Jake didn’t quite hit the mark like the others. But the sizzling plot twists more than made up for it.
Overall Thoughts:
I laughed, I screamed, I blushed—Credence doesn’t hold back. It’s messy, steamy, and deeply emotional, leaving you wrecked in the best way.
Favorite Quote:
“This is how he is. A breeze one minute, a cyclone the next.” (Kaleb’s chaos in one line!)
