I really loved this actually! I’m not a huge fan of reverse harems usually. But I really liked the dynamic. There was a lot of possessiveness and fighting over her. I will say that this shit was DARK. Like very very dark. So much graphic violence so be aware of that when you start reading. This was also initially intended to be a standalone so there’s a happy ending! But you could continue on to the other books as well.

This book was all in all pretty interesting, they were really heavy on the dark humor and I wasn’t expecting to laugh while reading something like this.

It’s a why choose situation with three brothers from the mafia. But I wouldn’t say they were particularly pleased sharing the missus. There was a lot of tension and I don’t know if it was a good or bad thing.

Out of the three, I found Anthony to be the most lovable. This man is positively sick and broken but was still such a sweetheart, I wanted to hug him most of the read.

William definitely pissed me off the most, he was being extremely difficult and whiny like the man child he is.

As for the plot, everything was going okay until that plot twist that made little to no sense at all. All it confirmed is that everyone was 🦇💩 crazy in that book lol

Also this book is part of a series that focuses on the same characters, kinda killed my buzz. I do not plan on reading the other two books because I believe the first one is self sufficient

What a heart jerk. It was dark in a murder kind of way. I wouldn't say it was very spicy as there was sex but not a whole crazy lot. It didn't wind me up like some books do, but it did make me emotional. I cried at the ending. I also have an older grandma and am a sucker for sappy grandma stories and her authors note. Ugh heart strings.

I devoured this book in one sitting. It was so good. It was not what I set out to read tonight, but was oh so good. Highly recommend but definitely check trigger warnings

It’s good, for something out of my comfort zone.

So personally I wouldn’t have read this if I knew it was a reverse harem, it’s just not something I like reading about or find any interest in, in fact it has ruined stories for me in the past. But, this book was a good read despite being completely out of my comfort zone. I loved Anthony, even if I didn’t necessarily want them together, I truly loved his quirkiness. I love Juliet and nick together and I think that was big reason why I was able to actually finish this book, like I said above I didn’t go into this knowing the story was a reverse harem so I spent most of my time hoping she made the choice to be with malice, I think the dynamic she has with him is most similar to those over other books in this niche genre of mafia romance….I sincerely doubt I’ll read the next books in the series as the reverse harem aspect just shuts down my desire to, I spent most of the book wanting her with one man and knowing the point is that she won’t choose makes it obvious that I’ll leave the next two disappointed. If reverse harem is something you enjoy reading and you have a better appreciation of the dynamics than I do, then I recommend this read…
