This "why choose" romance centers on Briar, a seemingly bitchy actress with an intense stalker, which causes her to up her security and hire three deadly attractive bodyguards.

All in all, this was a "why choose" romance I'll remember, mostly because Kenta is my TYPPPPPE and Matt is written to mirror Henry Cavill's physical description. Still, I found that Gold has written better "why choose", and out of her current four, I would rank this 3rd.

Gold often tackles big, real- world issues in her books, which I love! She handles them well and shows growth, ranking her (in my opinion) as a top writer of why choose. It's easy to get lost in the sex (which like, we still get loooots of sex), but Gold pulls out serious discussions and self-reflection between her characters in a unique way for this genre. This particular book focused a lot on PTSD, which I personally don't connect with so (though it was very interesting and emotional to read about), I found I was less invested in the journeys of self-fiacovery than in some other books of hers.

Another point of contention i had was that only one of the MLI's bedroom antics seemed to live up with his personality. The other two were kind of randomly thrown together in a mishmash of interests and didn't have distinct bedroom personalities. Still hot, still enjoyed it, but I felt like it veered from how Gold usually writes her men.

Overall, though, this book was a fine example of hetero why choose. There was a dramatic plot, single and group scenes, and character growth. Would recommend to fans of the genre!
