Awe the first reverse harem I ever read, loved doing a reread. I would like to personally thank Dana for introducing me to reverse harems back in August, I haven’t been the same since then.
I love Scarlett, like with my whole heart. She’s a badass without being extremely annoying like other RH MC’s I’ve read so I loved that. The boys were amazing, I mean are we shocked? No. Sebastian, Tristan, and Elliot are the basic types you’ll find in a RH with one being extra broody and harder to understand, the one “in charge” who is usually the level headed one, and then there’s the one who’s extra friendly with our MC but would kill anyone else…so ya know normal. Again, I loved them all.
After reading some other RH after this one, I’ve realized the smut comes pretty quick compared to others. It’s definitely not a slow burn so that takes a whole book to get to the first guy. We get there real quick. If you’re a fan of quick smut you’ll definitely like this. I tend to like my smut a bit slower to let the angst go one longer but hey I still enjoyed it all the same.
I’m really liking the world that we are in. We get introduced to several groups involved in the organized crime world and I’m expecting to see more development in the next book. Since it is the first book and it’s less than 100 pages we only got the basic information but it was enough to have me intrigued. Like hello, Scarlett’s family has me wondering what the hell they are doing.
Honestly, this was really fast passed and just a fun time. I’m so happy I found this book because I never would have been introduced to the genre without it.
