Collect Double Heat (Twin Ties #3) Depicted By Lynn Kelling Shown As Softcover
This book was so hard for me to read, . . Evan just makes me want to hug him and protect him, . .
There were two parts in the story that I literally had to either put down or fast forward to see how the scene ended then I would go back and read it
I enjoyed the story
The love and passion that they all feel for each other literally comes off the pages
I can feel how scared they are for each other during certain scenes and the tension was so real
Lynn is an awesome story teller and I really hope now that they've started to heal and really come together as a foursome that we can continue to be a part of their lives
And of course the scenes between each set of twins is pure sex/hotness especially the last scene as they all come together
I loved it all even the parts that made me sad My poor heart was a beaten, bloody pulp by the time I finished this one.
THANKS A LOT LYNN.
While Evan is undoubtedly the main "star" of this series, Brennan totally stole the show for me in this book.
There's a bit more focus on his past and his emotional journey don't get me started on all the ways I wanted to tear Tommy to pieces.
The author pulls no punches, either, in depicting onpage violence, but there is always a tender followthrough in terms of the comfort half of those hurt/comfort moments.
Whenever one of the foursome is hurt, the others rally in a way that the hurt party never had in the past.
Evan and Brennan come face to face with their pasts very literally, but they both come out of it stronger and more emotionally mature.
While I'd have been satisfied if this was the last book, I was super excited to find out there will be a fourth, with a deeper focus on Alek and Luka.
Which I'm very excited for, because I do feel like we barely scratched the surface of their complicated history, and I'd be all over a prequel featuring them.
The only reason I didn't fivestar this one was because of the constant, irritating use of saidisms throughout the entire series.
Said is your friend. When Evan and Brennan moved in with their boyfriends, Alek and Luka, they knew things would be complicated, but as their privacy gets eroded, and people around them begin to notice the tangled nature of the fourway relationship, coping becomes a struggle.
After Brennan leaves on a brief trip home, and Evan remains behind to enjoy the full attention of both Alek and Luka, the careful balance of things gets thrown off.
Exboyfriends surface, haunting Evan and Brennan in similar ways as regret for poor choices threatens their happiness, and the sexual freedom displayed earlier in their lives draws predators willing to use violence, coercion, mindgames and force to take what they want.
Though Luka and Alek struggle to protect those they love, it soon becomes clear that the dangers surrounding them will find ways to rush in, trying to take what belongs to them.

Ah books sighs They come out of nowhere and they sweep you out of your feet, I started this series because of the twincest thing, I'm not ashamed to admit that, It's a polemic topic, it's hot, it's forbidden so yeah, I'm on it, But then idk, Lynn happened. What started as a "holy shit this is too hot to be true" ended with me broken hearted and sad.
I know, to some ppl that is not a good sign, but to me, the books that leave me crying in a corner are the ones I'll never forget.
The twins Evan's and Bren's journey is not an easy one, It will most likely break your heart to and sometimes even make you angry but they will win your love and devotion.
.
I guess I'll just have to read the next book to see how the author will deal with the boys' issues.
I'm too involved now. And I just need to see them happy, Plus, I'm in love with Luka, Man this one about gutted me, Lots of triggers in here people Rape, underage via flashbacks of way to much for a young boy to deal with.
Just packed full of angsty tough times, But yea I loved this series, The Popavic twins. . Yea I want some of my own please, REVIEWED FOR PRISM BOOK ALLIANCE
I think one thing you can be assured of in a Lynn Kelling book is that she doesnt pull punches.
Double Heat is no different and is quite a difficult read in some places, It focuses on Brennan and Evan and more precisely how circumstances and sometimes poor judgement from their pasts has come back to haunt them.
There is still a lot in the book about Alek and Luka but they take on more of a protector/nurturing role, we have yet to get their full story but hopefully it will be along soon.
It is very easy to forget when you start Double Heat that Evan and Brennan are still only eighteen and I kept having to remind myself of this fact when they continued to make what I felt like stupid decisions or putting themselves in awkward and sometimes dangerous situations.
They have both done a lot of living in their short lives and even though they grew up apart they are surprisingly similar in a lot of ways and also have the same hurts.
Both sets of twins are now living together and trying to map out a life which includes their sexual relationship as a group.
They have all promised each other honesty recognising it as a requirement to navigate such an unusual relationship but certainly from Evans and Brennans point of view they are not entirely honest about their pasts fearing how Luka and Alek will see them if they know all the details.
Brennan has always appeared to be the more put together twin but becoming a carer for his dying mother put a lot of pressure on him.
As a way of rebelling he allows himself to be treated poorly by his boyfriend Tommy, At the time this act of defiance made him feel empowered but he couldnt have guessed the consequences it would have after his mothers death when he walked away.
He had handed over power to a bully who was in no hurry to let him go, Believing himself safe when he ignores calls and text messages leaves him in a precarious and dangerous position when he returns home.
Evan not only grew up without the support of his mother and brother but with a mostly absent father.
Uncomfortable with his peers it made him an extremely easy target for the predators of this world especially when he mistook their interest for love and understanding.
He developed a dangerous and unhealthy relationship with a man much older that used and abused him and has suddenly now returned to his life.
Both these young men are made to face up to their pasts at the same time and both with horrendous consequences.
Luka and Alek appear to have to walk on egg shells as they navigate around their younger lovers trying to support and understand what is happening.
Whilst Brennan is quicker to divulge his past Evan struggles and keeps things locked up inside, When all the secrets have been divulged both their pasts collide with deadly consequences,
Although this is a dark read there is light at the end of the tunnel towards the end when it sees things may finally be working out.
Of course with bookplanned I expect that their happiness will be short lived! sitelinkThe Blogger Girls
I love this series.
Who knew I could not only read a double taboo book, but actually freaking love it Maybe it had more to do with the realism the author brings to the story, and the many, many feels, but I love this series and highly recommend it to everyone, even those who normally steer clear of taboo or twincest.
Book three has the twins, Evan and Brennan, and Alek and Luka, living together as a committed and loving foursome.
Those important to the guys all know the truth of their relationship, but Evan is struggling heavily with anyone else finding out.
His fears are legit as he was the one almost killed in book two, Knowing that there are homophobic assholes just looking to cause trouble, Evan does his best to keep the truth hidden.
Too bad the rest arent on the same page,
Brennan needs closure to his old life, and he wants to fulfill a promise to his deceased mother.
Sadly, this requires him to take a road trip back to Louisiana on his own, He would love for Evan to come, but Evan is not yet ready to visit the grave of the mother who gave him away.
So Brennan takes off on his own, Here is where the first of the major life events comes to fruition, Too bad its not a good one,
Alek and Luka, being the older twins, feel intensely compelled to protect the younger twins at all costs.
Evan and Brennan need the protection but they balk at being restricted, They understand the situation, but human nature also comes into play, This leads to a horrific ordeal for Evanone with repercussions for the all the guys,
There is no way to bring up any of the “situations or “events” without giving the story away.
But trust me when I say that what youve read in the first two books is childs play compared to this one.
Many topics are touched on in a graphic way that made it uncomfortable to read, but they were necessary for the guys to move forward in their lives and relationship.
So, if you are reading this then I am assuming that taboo is not a hard limit for you.
That being the case, prepare yourself for more violence, dubious content, and nonconsensual sex, These boys go through hell before they can get to heaven,
Overall Impression: It was amazing,
