this was a fun and digestible why choose / polyamorous contemporary romance with 4 men and 1 woman. i loved the added element of drake and liam’s dynamic, i think it added a lot of fun and realism.
i found some of the influencer scenes a bit cringy and hope to never see a man play closer by the chainsmokers on guitar in real life for my sanity, but it was forgivable.
i would recommend this to someone who’s a fan of lily gold why choose romances and is looking for more stories that are why choose but NOT dark romance.

I received this from Grey’s Promotions in exchange for my honest opinion.
This book was such a fun, and different story. Aurora is a mess, but one day, one of her messes goes viral. This launches her into stardom as an influencer.
Aurora forms a friendship with four fellow influencers, called the United Nations, there’s an American (Drake), a British guy (Ezra), an Australian (Liam), and a guy from Puerto Rico (Santi). Aurora wants them all, and isn’t going to choose.
This book is interesting, and I haven’t read any other reverse harem books, but I did enjoy this. I would like it better if there weren’t quite so many characters involved. Still recommend
This book has
- reverse harem
- Age gap
- Friends to lovers
- Instant attraction
- Spicy 🌶️
- Why choose
the storyline had promise, but the execution of it did not work. Writing didn't flow well. As soon as I realize there was a degradation kink I put it down because that is not my deal.
I went into this blind and it was an okay read. For anyone in the mood for a spicy why choose similar to Lily Gold books this book is for you. We have our fmc Aurora who is an upcoming influencer she is friends with Liam, Ezra, Santi and Drake who are popular influencers who she had never met. All the guys are best friend and expect for Ezra pretty much instantly want to be with her without even meeting her.
Theres not much angst and a lot of sexy time. One of my biggest issues was the surface level character interactions with was covered with a lot of smut. I did like the few moments of them all being there for each other and developing their friendship and relationship. Overall a fun, low stakes smutty read.
Tropes/Content:
- Age Gap
- Why Choose
- Friends to lovers
- Enemies to lovers
- MM and MMF parings
- Instant Lust
