Listen, if I start a Tate James series, I’m not looking for realism. I’m gonna suspend the heck out of my disbelief and bask in the soap opera drama of it all. Iconic. I don’t care if it’s not realistic. I got what I came for. Drama, laughter, twists and turns I didn’t see coming, and enough mystery that I’m dying to start the next book. And steamy scenes of course. We have to talk about the spice. Kit’s harem of men are chefs kiss possessive, protective, funny, sweet, and also infuriating.

Small Age Gap (FMC is 18, MMCs range from 20 to 25)
Plot Summary
"Kit" is a notorious thief, stealing from select targets with the help of her best friend. One careless mistake of forgetting a tracker on a stolen ring leads to everything she was used to coming crashing down.
Kit
- Kit is an orphan, who has certain powers. She is stronger and faster than it would be normal for someone her size, and when she gets an adrenaline rush she has very fast healing
- Very traumatic childhood
- A fierce lil thing. Not a huge fan of how she kept repeating that she is no damsel in distress when lowkey she does have to be rescued A LOT in this book. I wouldn't have an issue with it if she wouldn't keep going on about how she isn't a damsel when... she kinda is. She is still a fierce one, who doen't take shit, especially not from her harem members, and isn't afraid to get violent
Caleb
- Austin's twin
- Generic funny, lighthearted rh mmc
- A fun guy, lacking a bit of depth for me? Maybe we'll see more of that in later books
Austin
- Caleb's twin
- The only source of OWD (he has a girlfriend for a bit who is a rude bitch, we never rlly get into depth about it tho)
- Generic rh mmc who hates her, does't understand the infatuation, is annoyed by the other's love to her, yap, yap, yap
- I was kinda bored with him, because characters like that just aren't my thing, but I gotta admit
that I really liked that he kept his personality even after falling for Kit. Often types the 'bully' archetype loses all their personality after falling for the FMC. How he acted while they were captured, while making me want to punch him, made total sense to me
Cole
- Former MMA fighter (I think?)
- Gentle Giant (but only for her) vibes
- Lowkey my fave, I admit
- Suuuuper protective. Even shortly after meeting he is pissed when she wants to meet with Simon, and later the scene in the
fightclub thingy, when she walks away from her spot and he thinks something happened ? I was meltinggggg
River
- British leader of the group
- Wants to be adressed as Sir
- Very in control and stuff... Idk what to say about him, the british accent honestly mostly took me out of it while listening to the audiobook, he was a solid guy ig
Wesley
- The youngest of the group (20), taking care of tech support and overall being the "baby"
He had very little to do this book and honestly I'm not even sure if he is supposed to be part of the harem... If it wasn't explicitly said that Lucy is a lesbian I honestly would've assumed a romance is being set up between those two
Conclusion
While I still don't understand why character like Kit who is supposed to have been stealing for years can't just be college aged and has to be 18 for some reason, I liked this book.
A good balance of plot and romance, some good spice scenes without being overpowering or dragging, solid and (most of all) distinguishable MMCs... I liked it!

This surprised me. I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this story and went in pretty blind. I was worried that I wasn’t going to get on with the story due not always being a fan of school settings for new adult/adult stories but I had a lot of fun. Kit and Lucy are an amazing pair of best friends and I love the over sass and obnoxiousness between the two of them. The twist at the end with Omega was amazing and I reread that section a few times. I think the group of guys are great and they all have a solid enough distinction in personalities between them to make it easy to follow what’s going on and who’s talking. I’m quickly getting on board with all of them and I’m happy things aren’t progressing too quickly and there’s time for things to establish. As for the plot, I’m definitely intrigued and want to know what’s going to happen for the long game. Considered me invested and ready to binge!
