So let's just talk about this book for a minute. I found it awhile ago while searching Amazon's Kindle store (which I really need to stay away from because I have about a million other things to be doing {like reading my library books}) and I resisted the urge to buy it for quite awhile (yay me!) but with my weakness for RH books right now, I finally caved and bought the book, because it sounded superb.
And it is.
There's lots of character building, and I love how blunt and no nonsense Alexis is. She's got one heck of a sailor's mouth and she'll tell you exactly what she thinks if you're being stupid. It's actually very refreshing, because you'll always know where you stand with her.
I like the guys and their relationship with her. They're obnoxious and protective, and they'll do anything to keep her safe. She also has a really great relationship with her uncle Rory, which I really enjoyed reading. It's hard with some books when the main character is keeping this giant secret from her family and things just go bad at every turn because she has to lie to her family about why weird things happen. So this was a nice change of pace. Everyone is so supportive.
I'm not sure where the book is going as far as romance is concerned. As I am typing this, I am a good part into book 2 and it doesn't look like she's going to "be" with any of her original gang. In fact even though she comments about how good looking they are and what not, there isn't any jealousy on her part or theirs (at least as far as outward appearances go) when the guys are hitting on other girls or dating someone, or vice versa. In fact, one of them set Lexie up with Dylan... But I guess that's okay too, as long as everyone is happy. And since I still have two and a half books to go, who knows what's going to happen.
However, I don't like the way she calls the guys honey and sweetie. That's more of a term of endearment for a little kid or someone you're dating, and it just doesn't sound right when I read it. Also there are some grammatical errors that jumped out at me throughout the story, but it's not enough to make me stop reading it. Also, I really don't like the way she keeps saying sweet. Like, "I said sweetly" or "I asked still using my sweet voice" occasionally that wouldn't bother me, but it's very repetitive. But those are just my opinions and pet peeves, and it probably doesn't bother most people.
Overall, this was a great start to the series, and I can't wait to see what happens next.
And it is.

A solid 3.5.
I tried reading this last year and DNF around 34% but I did a Buddy read with Reverse Harem Revolutions and it forced me to read the whole book and I am glad that I did.
This book reads as it is a very interesting slow burn YA RH. Once I got into the mindset that this was a slow burn YA, I was able to enjoy it more.
What makes this stand out for me is the Lexie's no nonsense attitude. I could have done without the teenage drama but it is expected of a YA.

Great concept, good execution, overall a great read.
No idea why an RH would be set in high school and with underage characters. FMC is incredibly annoying and the “not like other girls” thing she keeps harping on is driving me crazy. I’m not about to read multiple books just to wait for the moment they all finally get together when it’s trudged to get through a single one.
