Most of the characters were lovable but had their own issues. I wasn't a huge fan of Riven,
I wouldn't call it Insta-love, but the FMC fell for them rather quickly. It's already an unconventional way of dating, so when love comes so easily it tends to make it feel undeveloped.
I appreciated how the author gave each MMC a decent amount of time with FMC. Some harem romances tend to focus on one MC and let the others sit in the background for a chunk of it.
There are a lot of errors in the digital format, mostly grammatical errors and repeated phrases.

I think Gold has created a cast of wonderful, likable characters whose interactions are distinct and believable. The sex scenes were well-crafted, especially the multi scenes, which can be hard to coordinate. My particular favorite character is Eli, who is the emotional core of the trio of male love interests.
My investment in the backstories of the other two male leads was more limited, due to their (the backstories) late arrival into the book. The non-sexy parts of the book were also a little thin, without just taking the plunge and removing them altogether. Specifically, I'm thinking of Riven and Cole's non-sex scene characterizations.
Overall, this book was well-written, with sizzling chemistry between all the leads and well-crafted sex scenes, but also good humor. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a reverse harem romance with no alpha MLs.
