AMAZING!!!
This is hands down, the best book I've read in a few months! I have loved watching Harlow navigate through her new relationship with her siblings and seeing how gracefully she faces all of their bs. The cliffhanger was killer and I'm glad the second book is already out so I can jump over and immediately start reading!!!

As soon as I began this book, I knew it was going to be a mess of a series. There’re 6 books and from all the filler written in this one book, I can tell half the books aren’t necessary.
Grown ass adults with important jobs bullying another woman because they think she is a « gold digger » when she was exactly raised as them. Heroine who is the reincarnation of a small kitten because she has the backbone of a butterfly.
The author writes the less subtle hints: the flight attendant, Luke, Brad’s PA (I already forgot her name), the completely random description of a man seated in the waiting room of the designer building… like please make an effort.
No one gives a shit about the abandoned house and there’re pages and pages of its description. No one gives a shit about the vampire count either. Why bother with this sub-plot when you already ass write the main plot? Seriously FOCUS.
What kind of a shitty P.I. Declan has hired if he can’t tell him right away Harlow’s job? She went to college, she graduated and she’s been doing her job for a whole year at the farm, how incompetent you can be to not know that?!
Jacinta reminds me of Nan from the Rosemary Beach series by Abby Glines. Petulant, spoiled and insecure woman who has the balls of her brother in her Chanel bag.
Brad and the grand-parents’ lack of discipline towards the « children » (they’re fucking +25 years old but are discussed like babies » would make me take a one way ticket to the East coast if I was Harlow. Once again, she is a passive and kinda boring (sorry not sorry) character.
Finally, what the fuck is in the water if everybody is in a polyamory relationship? Why Nana wants to push Harlow to the guys when they know each other for 5 minutes? A disfunctional family is not a cute trait.
And ewwwww to Oliver and Holden. Even if they’re not blood related, they were raised together since they were kids so making them a couple is a big no.

The looking down on her *job* as a horse trainer really bothered me.
These people are supposed to be down to earth....but to me they were just plain snobs and unlikable.
I don't want the FMC with any of them....then there are the plot holes....
She grew up with very wealthy foster parents....that treat her like a daughter...why would she be after her Dad's money...she has access to alot of it....her foster parents built her a vet clinic...provide a place for her to live etc... and even if she was....so what??? He didn't take care of her for all her life ...so what if he does now??
He is her Dad proven by DNA all his adopted kids needed to get over themselves.

This book was on fire!! I literally did not put this book down until I had finished it, and once I was done I wished there was more. Abandoned girl introduced us to Harlow who is an amazing FMC. Honestly I think she is my favorite FMC that I have ever had the pleasure of reading about. She has been through so much in her life, but has risen above it all only to get the biggest surprise of her life.
I have to say this book had an amazing plot. On top of that the characters were extremely well developed and very relatable in many ways. I will say this book did have me fanning myself due to some steamy scenes that definitely leave you wanting more. I cannot wait until the next book! I wish I had it in my hands now!

This was a great book, but I did think it started off a little slow.

I'm really enjoying this series so far. The writing feels very mature, nice and simple and compelling.
It's a Contemporary Polyamorous/Reverse Harem and it slaps. You have everything that you might expected in this genre and more.
It´s funny when it needs to be funny, emotional when it calls for it and the spice keeps on growing throught out the series.
If you're looking for something within this genre that is nice and simple, and perfect to read on one sitting I suggest giving this one a try.

Awesome Book !
This was seriously a great book! I downloaded it because I honestly didn’t have any other book to read and I’m so glad I did. I love the MC and her story is sad sure but she’s such a strong character. The guys well I’m not sure yet about them except Kai of course.
Possible Spoilers—-
My main problem is Jacinta and Jax I would NOT forgive them. No excuse whatsoever and by the finale of this book it seems like they are going to get worst.
