Midnight Curfew

by Penelope Douglas

Two rivals from opposing families fight their forbidden attraction to each other in the brand new romance from New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas.

Summertime is off-season in southern Florida. Families leave their homes to escape the heat, the streets are empty, and the nights are quiet. Perfect time for a little mischief while the police aren’t looking.

As the middle Jaeger brother, Dallas was often lost in the shuffle growing up. Now a man, he’s prideful of his community on the wrong side of the tracks—Sanoa Bay—and aggressively protective of his land and his inner circle. He’s hungry and ready for a fight.

Callum Ames has a reputation in St. Carmen, the affluent neighborhood abutting Sanoa Bay. The hottest. The most popular. Rich. Powerful. Strong. The one all the women want. After four years away, he’s back, but for all his bravado, he’s got one major secret: he doesn’t want a woman.

Summer is also storm season. Heat, wind, rain…

And a lockdown.

In a desperate bid to impress his influential father, Callum suggests a curfew to hinder their rivals in the Bay.

Unfortunately, the Jaegers don’t like rules.

As Dallas and Callum face off and engage, out for each other's blood, they can't stop the consuming fire between them and the outcome they already see coming...

The storm of the century.

can’t wait for the clayliv cameo

[ً · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.7 dallascallum has so much buzz i fear 🤦‍♀️ pd you win this time.

dallas actually used to be my least favorite jaeger sibling but she managed to make me like him. there were a few scenes that were questionable but whatever i was so invested and havent stopped thinking about them since i finished this.

also why did no one make a comment about clay and callum being in the same family now. like is no one going to point out that clay's gay ex boyfriend is kind of her brother in law now

Ugh, September 1 is so so so so so ... farway
I so want to read this because of the extra scenes in Five brothers :

“So hard the next week too when I pinned your fucking face into that same seat and fucked you right
back,” hetaunts"
“We were fighting, and then …” He grunts, a I can almost feel him."My dick was in your mouth".

Penelope Douglas is writing an MM book? I’m always impressed when a popular MF author dabbles with MM or FF. It’s nice seeing queer relationships normalize in mainstream romance books. Although, Douglas has written FF, so it’s not like she’s a stranger to non-MF stories.

The plot seems intriguing. I’m interested. I hope it’s good.

Need Penelope to forget about hellbent and just keep writing the Jaeger siblings 🙏
