I loved this book! It took me completely by surprise! I didn't think I would like it, the way others described it I didn't think it was for me. However from the first page I was hooked! I stayed up all night reading and I felt like I was reading for 10 minutes...The characters are so wonderfully written you fall in love with them so easily... This book came out of left field and stole my heart...I won't give any spoilers, this book speaks for itself.... If you are looking for a spicy book that will surprise you until the end this is it! The story is 5 stars and the heat level is 10!

The FMC is called Ayla and she grew up in foster care. When she was 18, coming out of a night club, she saw a guy who was hudled with his friends talking in an alley. she started to walk when a car came out of no where and started firing at the man. It was a reflex for her to jump in front of the bullets and save the mans life. Due to the injury, she had lost flood flow to her arm and it needed to be amputated. Now two years later, she is coping with only having one arm and is working so she can afford to go to college. One day she is walking down an alley and is about to be mugged when the man and his two friends come out tf the shadow and save her. They dont speak to her, but from that point on she sees them keeping an eye on her from the distance. That distance becomes smaller and smaller as the time goes on. I would say this is a medium to fast burn and the FMC is dumb. she annoys me a bit because she has absolutly no skill at anything but constantly decides to be stupid in situations. and after like 3 weeks of knowing the guys, she already says she loves them. it turns out that they are part of the elite in the society and the all powerful ruler behind the scene put on a game where the other powerful families enter their kids into. The survivor will be the heir to the city. it is to the death. Overall this book was fine. Ayla annoyed me and whenever there was a life threatning situation, all she wanted to do is fuck her men. She got better towards the end of the series but the overall storyline got boring at that point.

main character: ayla
the guys: marcus, ryland, and theo
summary:
ayla goes to a club and makes a brief connection with a guy from across the room (this guys turns out to be marcus constantine). ayla decides that she's done with the club, heads outside, sees marcus and two others waiting on the curb. as she's deciding how to proceed, ayla sees a car pull up with a gun pointed directly at marcus' back. for some inexplicable reason, ayla decides to jump in front of the shot, thereby saving their lives. when we flash forward to the present, we find out that ayla has lost a part of her arm because of that night. after leaving the bar she works at, ayla is almost mugged, but marcus and the two other mystery dudes save her. this leads to them deciding to step out of hiding to actually be in her life after having been in it without her knowledge since the night of the shooting. what she doesn't know is that having them in her life is not necessarily going to be the easiest thing.
my thoughts:
overall, i liked it. it had a different take for a reverse harem storyline. but, as much as i realize reading is about suspending disbelief, some of the plot didn't quite make sense to me. first off, ayla didn't even know marcus and the guys...why did she feel so pressed to save him? like, i get glancing at someone from across the room and feeling something, but like enough to potentially die for that person...? also, realistically, any girl that found out she'd been stalked for two years (cause that's what marcus and the guys did) would run for the hills screaming, not fall into their arms. but, i get it's just a story. i'm not gonna lie-- it's a nice idea thinking that you have these three dudes just trying to keep you safe. and like, their hot or whatever. i did really like that ayla had something that she had to grapple with after the shooting, but that she was doing a good job of handling it. she's a good heroine for sure. the guys were the usual combo of: one that is the leader and has the first/strongest connection to the heroine, another that is the comedic relief at times and quickly connects with the girl, and lastly, the one who tries to stay away for the sake of the girl, but comes off as hating her. all in all a classic reverse harem that i really enjoyed.
