Actually so stupidly entertaining... Is it high lit? No. But it's getting 4 stars anyway because I had so much fun.

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.

I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this book as I tend to find 'Why Choose?' novels are a bit hit or miss. I really, really enjoyed this story though. It was incredibly well paced, and there wasn't any part where I felt like the story was losing its momentum. I liked the characters well enough, although it took me much longer than I care to admit to distinguish the three guys from one another.
I did feel that this was more like a prequel story, as there are still so many threads that need to be unravelled. I also cannot take the word 'engorged' seriously. It reminds me of that scene in '10 Things I Hate About You' and it really threw me off my game - BUT that's just personal preference.

𝗧𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝘀: why choose, MMA fighters, revenge plot, forced proximity, enemies to lovers
𝗧𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀: stalking, violence, murder, childhood trauma, emotional abuse, panic attacks
OMG!! THIS BOOK IS SO SO GOOD!!
This book is the type of book that makes you want to not put it down at all and want to read the next books and find out how the story of the characters continues.
On Halloween night, Kate and Bree were supposed to be at a party, but they snuck into an MMA match where Archer was fighting. Except that the events of that evening lead to something unpleasant for Kate. After a few good months, she returns and when she finds out that those who put her in the situation that evening, live in the same house as her, she is ready to take revenge.
But can this revenge can be done when the these three men are hot and know how to increase the tension between them and her?
Max, Kody and Archer are super hot. I liked Max and Kody the most because they don't hesitate to show their sweet side to Kate. Archer he's the big alpha and is tougher with Kate, but I liked those moments too. Let's say that he takes the protectiveness to the maximum.
Thank you Tate James and Sourcebooks Bloom Books for the opportunity to read this amazing book in exchange for an honest review.

Super sexy slow burn dark romance. Less smut than I expected, but the sexual tension and build up was perfection. It wasn’t very dark to me: some gang references, a little violence, and mentions of a murder and stalker. But I can see how things will get both spicier and darker as the story line continues. My biggest issue was the mega cliffhanger and how almost nothing came to a solid conclusion in this book & thus forces the reader to book 2 for any satisfactory ending on current plot threads. I loved the main characters and each dynamic that the 3 main guys bring to the table. MK is sassy and fun - though I suspect she has poor taste in friends lol. A fun indulgent romance! I plan on reading book 2

I had seen this book around before it blew up on Booktok, but I was never really interesred in reading it. Then seeing everyone rave about it, I was more curious, but it still did not seem like something I would enjoy. Boy, was I wrong? I could literally not put this down, and I already want to read the second.
