Thoroughly enjoyable, fun and spicy read. The characters are all cute and quirky in their own ways and it’s my favourite of her reverse harem books.

This book was fun to read. It did get a little frustrating for me as I was reading the book because there were too many back and forths between the characters. Some scenes can be easily predicted because of the patterns the characters are showing. The ending was good, yet predictable.

Well, that was not the story I expected. I have never read a reverse harem story, I anticipated that she would be dating multiple guys, separately, but it was a group thing. The characters were great, not enough development of individual characters, but overall was a love story of a different type of relationship. I appreciated that perspective. I enjoyed the epilogue as well to see how things evolved into marriage and parenthood in their unique dynamic. I thought it was well done. Someone had mentioned that it gave “new girl” vibes and I totally agree!!

There's so much to love about this book. Great banter, communication, character development, spice. The MCs are all older (27-40)

This. Was. Delightful. I never gravitate toward cartoon cover romance but boy oh boy (oh boy… get it…? Because the 3 boys?

Merecía una estrella más de las que doy normalmente, por amenazar al huevón de Donny.

I struggled with what to rate this book. There was a bit of plot that bumped it up to 2 stars, but overall(with the exception of Josh) the characters fell really flat for me. They were very one dimensional and it was frustrating that they kept making the same bad choices over and over. By midway through the book I was actually skipping any spicy scenes because they just felt like too much. I’m sure others would like it, but it just wasn’t for me.

Don’t judge me for this one
