There was something about the environment of this college that really reminded me of some of the anime series that started the anime trend. Every character has a distinct persona, the smooth prince, the bad boy rockstar, and the powerful Future CEO. That being said, this was fun and hot and I would like be to see more of this fun romance!

This book was so cute, I loved it! I literally just finished reading it and I'm in such a happy/giddy mood now I'm not even sure how to describe it.
Accepted is different from many reverse harem books that I've read recently. While there is insta-lust, there's no insta-love. Also while it deals with the rich guys and not so rich girl theme, it doesn't really have the negative connotations such as spoiled and overly arrogant men or an abused or bitter/resentful girl. Instead we get three unique men each with individual personalities, and a heroine who can be a little shy and unsure of herself, but still understands her value and is able to trust her guys and her talent.
Aubrey begins her first semester at VIP College not entirely confident in her abilities to write in a new genre. But with the help of new friends and a little inspiration from the guys, she begins to gain confidence in her abilities. Although writer's block is not infrequent for her, Aubrey is successful in quickly gaining a large following. When Luka, Jaeson, and Riot all begin showing an interest in her, Aubrey requests she date them all before choosing to avoid fighting between friends and... because she doesn't know who to choose!
I really love all of these guys! Luka is like a fairy tale prince, all gallant and kind-hearted. Towards the end of the story it also appears he has a somewhat kinky side :). Now Jaeson... Jaeson is the truly kinky one. He is our more dominant character, but he's not a typical dark and brooding dom. When he isn't in his intense mode, he seems to be almost playful. He has a tendency to sneak up on Aubrey just before he gives her a little inspiration. Riot is more of the brooding type. He's a little darker and has the musician/poet vibe going. But, he also has a more deep and caring side that he begins to express towards Aubrey.
As the story progresses, it seems that her feelings for the three men are all growing... and as this is a reverse harem we all know she won't have to choose in the end ;)
Her blackmailer is an interesting development and I can't wait to see how that, and her relationships with the guys, of course, emerges throughout the next book(s) in the series.
Book 2 cannot come soon enough!

Good story start
I don't mind cliff hangers but only when most questions have been answered. The cliff hanger in this drove me crazy. Thought the characters were well written. I think Riot is my favorite out of the guys. Look forward to mores by this author.

I really enjoyed this story. VIP College students are a collection of the elite - wealthy, royal, actors, rockers, and then there’s Aubrey, the scholarship student. Her romance stories could be just what the literary society needs to keep going.
I loved each of the guys, how they compliment Aubrey in different ways. I’m also really curious who is behind the anonymous threats. It was just the right amount of mystery.
I can’t wait to see what happens next!

This was a fun rh with the scholarship girl and the golden boys. Audrey comes in all innocent and with a small chip on her shoulder because she isn't rich and powerful. The three guys are best friends and Aubrey starts "dating" all three after meeting them at the literary magazine. It had a little bit of a mystery and I will continue reading to find out what happens .

This is a quick, fun read.
Our heroine is the typical fish out of water, an innocent scholarship girl in a college of mega-rich hot guys and girls. She meets the three man committee running the college literature magazine, a prince, a billionaire and a rock star, who have been friends for years, and they all quickly decide they want to *inspire* her writing.
The challenges they face during this book are mostly resolved by the end, and as with any first book in a series, there's a lot that feels like setting up the rest of the plot, but, it's written with the author's usual humour. I enjoyed the prologue and epilogue from the guys' point of view that bookended the main story.
I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes next!
