This was my first RH book. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it at first, but I like how it was written so that there we times that the FMC was with just one of the men. It made it seem more realistic to me at least.

This was a surprisingly good Banks book for me, with a lot less sex than I thought there would be.
I really liked the friendship between the characters, the openness between them, and the way they worked through their problems. Sometimes they were a little hot headed and impulsive, in frustrating ways, but overall they were there for each other. It was obvious that they all loved each other, and that was nice. The camaraderie between them, even dis-including the romance, was really nice.
I liked each characters background and how they were developed, even though I do think more time on that would have been nice. The serious plot line was important, and not too much time was spent on it, which was nice. A lot of time was spent on the relationships, which I liked a lot. And the ending was very nice.
There wasn’t too much sex, and the sex there was, was very nice. Maybe a little vanilla for the most part, but nice, hot, with some variety.
Overall this was a pretty good, if a little average, of a read for me. And I hope to pick up another of Banks’ books in the near future.

Perfect erotic book. Lots of kinky with a good storyline.

This is the closest I've ever gotten to a polyamory erotica and I'm just so happy I actually own this book and I don't think it's ever leaving my collection. Maya Banks has always been a fav author but this solitary stand alone gem of a tale is by far got to be my absolute favorite by her.

Quickie Review:
Be With Me is a story that I really jumped into blind. At first, I assumed that this one was menage, but it was actually reverse harem. Now anyone who knows me well at all will know that this trope hardly ever works for me and the majority of the time I am not a fan of how most authors handle it. However, when it comes to this author, I know she will do it well. And this book blew me away. So whether you are a fan of RH or not, I highly recommend this one. What I found my favorite aspect was how the relationships between each of the men were well focused on. Not one of them gets neglected in this story. And it's NOT about the sex in this book. There is some fabulous steam in this one here, but it's not the primary focus, and I really had a blast seeing that. I also really loved the way in which this was a second-chance romance. And so much pining between all the characters involved in this relationship. I also found it intriguing how they were able to really connect on other levels than just the sexual ones. There is also a plot to this book, unlike the majority of RH. There is plenty of suspense and danger and the villain...yeah, I didn't see that coming at all. I was utterly captivated by this story and is a reminder of why Maya Banks is such a great author to dig deep with.
So if you are looking for a well focused poly romance....I highly recommend this one to you!

This one reminded me somewhat of Colters' Woman, but with a little more suspense. Overall it was just as steamy as CW or more, but with this one I didn't feel like someone was getting left out like I do with other menages.
