I couldn't get behind some of the character traits. The writing was kind of corny, dialogue didn't flow well in some places. The name Madison Kate is a bit obnoxious after reading it a few times.

I honestly don’t understand the hype of this book. With that being sad I will finish the series cause maybe, just MAAAYBE it gets better! Spice was on the milder side, but I can imagine it’s because this is going to be a slow buildup for the later books. It was more world building than anything.

When you start reading a reverse harem, you know you're not looking for anything intellectually stimulating or groundbreaking, but instead the genre falls into what is known as "junk food." There are bad junk food books that are like extra greasy McDonalds or there's top of the line, someone knows what they're doing, Mad Mex Nachos. This one was Nachos. DUDE IT WAS SO GOOD. It kinda fell out of the normal set up of the reverse harem tropes (e.g. one guy is an asshole, one guy is mysterious, and one guy is a golden retriever), but I think in the next few books, this will be fleshed out a bit more. The ending was not what I expected and neither was the stalker subplot. I'm super interested to see what happens, who was stalking her, and then why Archer's blade was where it was. Also I want to know more about Bree, Zane and Dallas. Her dad can drown off the coast of Italy in his fancy yacht for all I care tho.

Thank-you to NetGalley, Bloom Books, and Tate James for the eARC.

Okay. So. This genre? Very much not my thing. I honestly don't even remember my thought process when requesting this book — I think I was just excited to get a whole series, TBH. Would I have made it more than like 10% if this wasn't a NetGalley ARC? Probably not. HOWEVER, I must admit, I am intrigued and am looking forward to seeing this series through.

That being said, I know exactly which customers to recommend this series to and they will be THRILLED. =P

This was a fun read. I didn’t particularly love it. I think a lot of that stemmed from the main character. As the story went along, she got more annoying. She consistently said “I hate them” and in the same breath drool for them. I would have liked for the hate to build up more before anything shifted. I also found it annoying when the guys called her Madison Kate instead of just Madison or MK.

The plot was okay and the dialogue was good. The smut scenes were very enjoyable. I’ll probably read the second one at some point.
