Synopsis
One woman learns the secrets of the five Jaeger brothers in the new romance from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas.
On the other side of town, in the dark glades, under the rain…
Macon is the oldest. Thirty-one. Ex-Marine. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile.
Army is twenty-eight. A single dad with the most beautiful green eyes. He has no idea who he is, if not a Jaeger brother.
Iron will be in prison soon. You’d never think it to meet him. He’s a nice guy, actually. But he can’t stop reacting to everything.
Dallas is the one I hate. Twenty-one, cruel, and selfish. He takes and then throws away whatever’s left.
And Trace is mine. Or he was for about two seconds. No one can tame him for long.
Not that I ever wanted to. It was fun, but now I need to go home. Back to my side of the tracks. Away from the swamps and these men. To my parents’ big house. On my clean street. Where I’m never dirty or messy or hot. And I will. I’ll leave first thing tomorrow morning. I just want to crash on the couch tonight.
Their house is dark and quiet, everyone else is asleep. Except for one. He sees me crying and comes at me from behind. I let him wrap his arms around my body and hold me tightly. His breath is on my neck, his fingers are in my hair, and he doesn’t stop there.
I don’t think it was Trace.

My Review
'FπVπ πRπTπEπS' Is a full length standalone romance book by author Penelope Douglas. Spoken in 'multiple POV's.'
This was the one book I’d been anticipating since I’d seen it getting pimped all over the place, eagerly awaiting release day.
Then I dived in..
I loved these brothers
Each unique in their own ways
And the one girl who was their glue without them even realising it.
The girl who fell for the boy from the wrong side of the tracks.
This kick starts off with Liv & Trace Jaeger kind of having a thing but not, within a blink of an eye what they did have was over before the ink on the page had even dried. Liv is from the right side of town, flash houses, flash cars, flash clothes, but she's at a loose end in her life, and doesn't really know what to do with herself. Highschool is over with and all her friends have gone off to their respective Universities.
She's always felt at home on the other side of the bay, especially at the Jaegers house where it feels more like a home than where she lives.
But both homes are full of their own dramas.
One night she has a sexual encounter with one of the brothers, being late she doesn't see which brother it was but she wants more and can't get that one encounter out of her mind, like Liv the reader is also playing the who was it game.
