When I realized there was a pregnancy trope I was a little concerned as I normally don't enjoy it, but I shouldn't have doubted that Katee would do it well.
If you want a good enemies to lovers/reunited lovers trope and you love reverse harem then I'd absolutely give this book a read. Heads up that, as should be expected, it is very spicy.

I'll admit I got behind on reviews and probably missed some content warnings.csaphira's review

I want to start this review by saying that, while is book is objectively not good, I loved it anyway. I was hooked from the very beginning, and I just wanted to keep reading.
The writing itself is not great. There are tons of grammatical and spelling errors that would take me out of the story. Some of the lines of the characters are so cringe I would get secondhand embarrassment.
I will say the plot is minimal at best. If you took out the spice and left only the plot, the book would maybe be 100 pages. I don't think it was a well rounded plot either. The whole plot centered around Mina getting pregnant to declare herself her father's heir and then kill him, but I felt like her father was killed too easily. It just felt like an anti-climactic ending.
I can't say I loved all the characters. I felt like Mina was a bit annoying and was constantly a damsel in distress. There were hints of times where she would show a backbone but then she would immediately revert back to damsel in distress when a man was around. I did love Wolf, Rylan, and Malachi. I thought they were such fun characters but we did only get surface level views of them.
This is a semi-low fantasy, but I don't feel like the world was very developed. I don't understand how the magic system works at all. I still am not sure how you get a bloodline vampire. I feel like none of that is explained. Also, out of the whole world, why is the compound in Montana? And how was Mina being tracked? A lot of these things are just holes in the world.
That being said, the spice was fantastic. I loved it. It's the whole reason I kept reading. It's a vampire romance, so there is obviously a lot of blood and sharp objects involved, but there is also a pretty heavy breed kink element to this book. So, if that is a hard pass for you, then this probably isn't the book for you.

Spice: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Tropes: Reverse harem, MMMF, Forced proximity,
POV: Single - Mina
Unfortunately I did not enjoy this one 😔. Essentially this whole book was just page after page of vampire smut. Essentially this was 80% smut 20% plot at best. But if Katee Robert knows one thing it is definitely writing some good smut.
A paranormal reverse harem romance combining all three novellas in the Bloodline Vampire series. This in turn lead to quite a bit of repetition when we moved through the three acts.
Mina is a dhampir, meaning she is half human, half vampire with no magic of her own. She is a complete disgrace to her Father and as such she is sent away by her to live with Malachi Zion, a bloodline vampire, and produce an heir to his slowly dwindling bloodline.
Shortly after Wolf and Rylan, two more bloodline vampires enter the mix and Mina becomes their everything. Their new mission is to take down Mina’s power hungry Father, impregnate her and crown her the Queen.
This novel is steamy don’t get me wrong. Robert knows how to write some awesome smutty scenes but that is all it really was for me. The little plot that was woven through this felt wayyy too farfetched for me and I just couldn’t get passed that. I found myself skimming paragraphs and that isn’t something I normally do.
