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.

I have been so excited for the release of Five Brothers by Penelope Douglas. I am a huge fan and have been following their releases for a long time. I just love their words so much. In this one we have Krisjen and the Jaeger brothers and it was quite the ride! I could not stop reading and am really excited to check out the audiobook. Krisjen is trying to figure out where her life is headed and what she wants. Her mom wants to marry her off to keep the life she is living, as they are from a wealthy family. She has two younger siblings she loves. I found her to be strong, determined and a bit vulnerable and loved her throughout the story.
The Jaeger brothers, Macon, Army, Iron, Dallas and Trace come from the wrong side of the tracks and run a local family business. They vary from 20 to 31 years old. I do not want to give too much away but will say even as each of the brothers were different in their own way, they were sexy and captivating. Krisjen cared for each brother in her own way and was drawn to them. But which one belonged to her, if any? I devoured it. I loved the found family, the characters, the journey and story so much and highly recommend and hope to get more from this world.
