I needed more context on a lot of the backstory and why the Familes were so powerful. The plot got confusing and repetitive since only the bare minimum was ever shared; nothing of depth or substance.

I binged this series in a day, so I’ll make this review my review the review for the whole series. I loved the start of the series. Our mfc came in strong- she wasn’t some easy pushover that rolled over as soon as she saw the boys, but by the end of this series- her whole personality became dating Noah, Bennett and Zach. I was disappointed by this. But I also recognize that this was a solid series for the first two books. So I give this book three stars. I’ll leave it at this, the series is worth the read- it just wasn’t my favorite thing in the world.

This whole series was very underwhelming.
And why did they have to mention that they graduated in 2025? I don't want books that mention specific dates, songs or anything that is very specific.

This final book is getting the full five stars just because this whole series is bloody phenomenal and I binged the whole entire thing in a day, I was that invested in the story. I totally recommend reading this i couldn't put this down and I'm so sad it's now over. This is a series I will probably read again in the future I enjoyed it that much. Here we see Jolie, Noah, Zach and Bennett all finally on the same page and invested in their relationship as well as the drive and desire to topple the current status quo, grinding their mutual enemies to dust and they are ruthless which I loved.
The might of the Knight and everyone behind Jolie work together as a team to achieve their goals and every one of Jolie's men is right by her side supporting and loving her. This harem's chemistry just works they slot together like missing pieces of a puzzle, together they're a solid unit, a self-made family and Jolie is their world and she feels exactly the same as them. This was also the steamiest one yet the smut scenes were supernova and the dirty talk the stuff of cold showers.
The plot was fast-paced and the action non-stop and I didn't want this to end. But it was also so satisfying to see certain awful individuals get their just deserts. I can see this author being an auto-buy for me as I've just connected so much with everything I've ever read from them. This is reverse harem done right the whole series was bloody amazing.

This was so good! I’ve only read two books of reverse harem that has a bad-ass heroine done right and this was the additional for me!
I can’t believe it’s over. I want more.

Meh- just ok at 3.5. This series probably could have been 2 stories instead of 3 since I feel like this one was dragged out. It could have been wrapped up sooner. Everything from paintball wars to a birthday party on a yacht was thrown in to show us their committed and sex filled relationship. Granted, 3 hot guys will want lots of sex and I have to point out that there was NO reprieve for her cycle, no monthly moodiness, etc. Even the after affects of anal were glossed over without mention.
And there was lots of schooling and homework since these are committed college students getting their degrees even though they have conquered the whole City and are wealthy beyond their fondest dreams. So- super realistic. The fate of the world rests in the inexperienced hands of 18- 20 yr. olds so belief was suspended.
Dom was great in this one:
"But I just wanted to make sure everyone was confident they could handle the dynamics of a polyamorous relationship.”
“Oh my God, Dom,” I groaned, feeling my face heat.
“It’s okay, sweetheart,” Noah said with a soft smile. “We get that our relationship isn’t the norm and has come together under… interesting circumstances. Dom’s just asking questions because he loves you.”
Zach coughed into his fist. “Kiss ass.”
I wasn't compelled to capture many highlights, so that says a lot. We meet Bennett's Mom, Zach's Aunt who plays a key part in the Shadows Org., say good bye to several people (die). Jolie's dispatch of Elise seems too much- if you read it you will see what I mean. It was way over the top.
How can these lovely, happy people be so sadistic and then lovely again? Whiplash I swear. I liked angry Jolie in the 1st book and the premise but the whole story failed to play out in the end.
Can I say how tiring it is for the "mean" girls to be so stupid and hurl the same "slut" insults over and over? They are so one note it's frustrating.
I have lots of ... questions. PEEVE: why does the author do... this. Why? Why do the pause almost every page?

I’m so sad that it’s finally over 🥺🥹😭
Post-reading depression gonna hit me hard…
This book is a great wrap-up to the series! While some may argue that the plot feels dragged down by the romance, I have to disagree. Instead, I found it to be satisfying, especially with the addition of multiple POV chapters. This allowed me to become even more attached to the characters. I’m gonna miss my baddass baby Jollie and her possessive lovesick boys Zach, Noah, and Bennett. It’s so hard to let the side characters go too, especially Mari, Max, and Frankie. 🥲🥲
Definitely gonna check out the author’s other books. :))
