- Heroine: Madison Kate (MK)
- Harem: Steele (Grey-Eyes), Kody (Green-Eyes), Arch (Blue-Eyes)
- POVs Included: Single Female POV (Madison Kate aka MK)
- Book Playlist (Reverse Harem Romance Playlist)
Madison Kate just wants to go to an MMA fight featuring her favorite sexy fighter on Halloween night. But when chaos ensues and guns start firing, her and her friend run like everyone else. But getting away isn’t so easy. Because she runs into a scary gangster from her past, and then three mysterious strangers come to her side to hide her.
But when they run off, leaving her with evidence that makes it look like she had a hand in the shooting, she develops a hate for them that burns hotter as the days go by. After finally getting the charges dropped she is sent off to her aunt’s in Cambodia by her father until things cool down.
When she finally returns eleven months later, it’s to find that the three mysterious guys are living in her house now! And one of their moms is dating her dad. Things just went from crazy to crazier as these too-hot-to-be-fair bad boys are invading every area of her life.
This was SO GOOD. The characters are incredibly vivid and fascinating. I loved MK and each of the guys. They are each unique and don’t read all the same.
I also love all the mysteries surrounding the gangs, the involvement of the guys. And even MK’s dad and friends are a little shady. This kept me on my toes the whole time.
But what really makes the book amazing is the characters and the chemistry she has with them. So much amazing chemistry between them and I’m loving it! Each of them spark something different for her and it’s exciting to see the harem develop.
On the harem side of things it’s a little different seeing as the guys don’t seem to be initially on board with being in a harem type situation. They all want her (clearly) and she wants them. None of them are giving up pursuing her, but they do admit to jealousy when she’s with the other guys. Not sure how all that will develop to a proper reverse harem, but we will see!
And holy cliffhanger Batman! Gosh I do hate those. But I’m grateful to be able to pick up the next one right away (since they are all out) and have an awesome new-to-me series to binge! Woohoo!
Overall amazing start to a new reverse harem series for me. Strong dynamic characters, intense sexual chemistry, captivating story. What’s not to like?

This book captivated me from the start with its gripping plot and complex characters. Madison Kate Danvers's journey from wrongful accusation to seeking revenge had me hooked. James skillfully blends romance, suspense, and mystery, keeping me on the edge of my seat throughout. Madison's intense hatred and determination for retribution against those who ruined her life resonated with me. The dynamic between Madison and her love interests, particularly Archer D’Ath, is electric and keeps the pages turning. While the cliffhanger ending left me eager for more, I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of this spicy and suspenseful read. I can't wait to dive into the next installment in the series.

Been waiting for ages for my library to get these audiobooks, yay they finally did.
I have listened to one other series of Tate,loved the narrators of this book, duet style.
Nice pacing, plot was exciting and I liked the characters, however it is university students so it kinda has a child like feeling to me, but there is lots of spice.
Picking people will class this book on the darker side and I guess it might be to some.
I have listened to way darker so I would class it semi dark?
Book ended on a cliffhanger and the next book picked straight up from there, glad I am binge listening.
