tw: if you do not like hardcore sex than i recommend not tho read

this book is very detailed on every aspect and i would say it is very steamy. it is a reverse- harem meaning one girl and a bunch of guys. the female mc is kind of annoying but not too much.

This book was just fine. Nothing wow, nothing groundbreaking. Everything that is in this story has been done before. I don't really have strong feelings about it, I just read it and that's it.
There isn't much plot, it is mostly smut, which is done well, I actually really like it. There is not any depth or complexity to this story or its characters.
It is insta love, and the writing is very simplistic. It reminds me of those reader insert fanfics and it kinda is that based on what the author wrote at the beginning of the book.
It is very predictable and has a lot of eye rolling scenes and corny, cheesy moments.
The characters do not make sense. The fmc has just gotten out of a bad relationship and her ex is harassing her. She met him by having a night stand with him. So that's why she apprehensive of doing that again. Despite that, she does it, not with one, but three men. After having sex with them, she trusts them fully. Men that she doesn't really know, besides talking when she was serving them coffee. Men that could kill her, but this is erotic not dark romance. Her timidity also comes and goes.
Of course, these men are perfection on earth and her ex is the worst possible man ever, just to showcase how good they are. Plus, obviously they are orgasm machines. Also their "business"

killing people

was so unnecessary.
The characters are so painfully dumb, literally all the things they are confused about or they don't know could be pieced together by a 5 year old. It is that simple.
There is no character development, it doesn't exist.
Towards the end the story became so ridiculous and absurd.
I cannot see anyone older than 14 enjoying this story, because that is exactly what I was reading at 14 on wattpad and ao3.
All in all, a mediocre book. I would be reading the sequel.

₊˚ʚ THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS ABOUT THIS READ

The book itself is a short read, and with how the plot is, it goes straight to the point of it, this is just straight up smutt. Not at the beginning of the book tou around like perhaps 70 pages in. There really isn’t much to say about this book due its a one shot book, or is that the correct term for it? Alto, I am interested in reading the other books by this author.

I wanted to DNF this read around 56% in due that i slowly was not enjoying with how it was going and how ot was proceeding.

₊˚ʚ **WHAT DID I FEEL WHEN FINISHED THE BOOK?**

- Alright so, originally the book was going to be rated a 3 stars, but then some scenes became a little problematic and made me somehow loose faith in the main character of this short read so it went down to a 2 star, due that there were scenes that were okay and sort of cute and 3 because I managed to cringe, I only cringed in page 80 of this Ebook.
