Decadent is surely a must read if you like alpha heroes who love deeply but have a hard time with their emotions. Deke knows he will be no good for sweet, innocent Kimber, but he's not strong enough to turn her down. His cousin Luc is firmly on her side and he really can’t stomach the thought of anybody else touching her. Deke’s past has colored the way he feels about women and it's interesting to see how he works through his problems. Luc also has a huge secret that is shared close to the end of the book that sheds light on what motivates him to stay in a ménage relationship. Kimber’s emotions are all over the place as she tries to understand what motivates Deke while at the same time trying to come to terms with how she feels about Jesse. This book illustrates the emotions involved when hearts are divided in a ménage relationship. We see Kimber's maturity emerge as her relationship with Deke and Luc deepen and the pain she endures as she realizes Jesse is not the friend she has known in the past. I love how Kimber was happy with the person she is and doesn’t feel like she needs to be more feminine. She's certainly a heroine we can all relate to. She feels she's not what Deke really wants, but she's confident enough in herself to stay true to her personality. Kimber’s brothers are introduced to us in this book, and I certainly hope the author will write their stories for us to enjoy.
