Now or Never by Lucy Smoke
3.0
3.5 STARS
Before I started reading this book, I read a lot of reviews stating that the story it is like the Ghost Bird series by C.L. Stone. I remember starting reading this series years ago, and I can't say that I remember it clearly, but I remember the main points.
This series is not the same. Yes, both the boys teams in Now or Never and in the Ghost Bird series work for a secret agency, but the story develops differently, and the characters have different personalities.
I like this book. I'm curious to see what happens next.
Spoiler Alert:
Harlow is a teenager weeks away from graduating high school. She lives with her mom who has a bipolar disorder and cancer. Her brother left as soon as he turned 18 and calls Harlow rarely. We don't know exactly what happens to the dad, there are hints here and there, but not full disclosure of what happened. So you can imagine her situation. She goes to school and at the same time work as much as she can to provide for herself and her mother.
One day, at the diner she's working she encounters Knix and Marv, two hot guys. She meets Bellamy, the third hot guy, at her school when he comes to recruit her for a job that we still don't now exactly what it is. I guess we'll have to get the second book to find out. Texas, the fourth and last guy of the team, is the tech wizard, and Harlow meets him when she decides to give this "job" a try.
The company the guys work for does help the community. Harlow wants to help people too, so she starts her trial period with the guys. They have to find the thief who is stealing valuables from a retreat resort owned by a very wealthy company. Throw in a "fifth guy" Grayson, Harlow's classmate, and you can imagine the mayhem.
This book is a slow-burn reverse harem (really slow-burn! There are only two kisses in the book!!! Ok, they are hot, but still only two!) with a heroine who doesn't like to follow orders and four (maybe five) guys who try to get into her heart.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who loves a good YA slow-burn RH.
