I was warned not to read this one, but I thought maybe it would be more entertaining as an audiobook. It was slightly entertaining. Honestly, the ending was the best part, and without that strange surprise keeping things interesting I would have given this 2 stars.
Cooky characters that were medium-level funny but not 'laugh so much I wake my husband up in the middle of the night cackling like a loon' funny.
Contemporary WhyC? That takes place in a small town. A virus epidemic gets reported on the local news and the town goes on lockdown but the sheriff sends 3 ex-military MMCs off to collect his daughter, the FMC.
The FMC has been living off the land by herself for a long time. She is nutty in a crazy cat lady kind of way, just replace cats for chickens and a rat-loving pet opossum. I love it when FMCs have fun interesting pets, but this opossum was just a nuisance.
I don't know what else to say about this one, if you want to try it out I recommend audiobook form. If I had read this I don't think I would have gotten very far, and then I would have missed the ending which put a fun spin on the whole story. But this didn't have a lot of substance to it storywise and the humor missed its mark most of the time. The steamy scenes weren't bad but when I read about a bunch of characters I don't find intriguing or entertaining the sex scenes are automatically lackluster. This held barely medium-level interest for me, so I had the same level of excitement for the smut.

I was definitely not expecting the ending of this but it made for a good story. There was a good amount of humour, the characters were great and the overall story line was actually really well put together.
Such an easy read and I do wish there was more of an epilogue but honestly that’s it. I would suggest to read it instead of listening to it on Audible because when you’re listening to multiple POV like the 3 male characters, having the same narrator is both annoying and confusing.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

It took me way too long to realize how this was going to end, and as soon as I did, I quit. This made me ridiculously angry with how far it went.

Rating: 3.25 Stars
POV(s): Multiple—First Person
Relationship: Reverse Harem
Genre(s): Contemporary Romance
Overall, it was an okay read.
I encountered quite a bit of what I considered to be inconsistencies and such whilst I was reading, but they turned out to be intentional—the authors managing to make them make sense at the very end.
I liked Remi as an FMC, and as such I was disappointed with the MMCs repeated lack of acknowledgment of her survival skills. Not that her self-preservation was completely realistic—her relationship with Jim Bob the bear would be extremely dangerous in the real world—but when it came to the moose situation, she was 1000% the smart one.

Couldn't stop...
I just read this book in one sitting. Good thing I was home while reading cause I seriously spent the majority of the time giggling, laughing out loud and snort laughing. Basically this book is awesomely hilarious! Remi is a great FMC - she can hunt, shoot, and do many more kick butt things all while being outspoken and confident in her own skin. Who doesn't love that? Plus she has a pet bear name Jim Bob! The guys are all ex-army Rangers and are dealing with the aftermath of their service. Madix, Brant and Theo all made it through the service just not unscathed. Their brotherhood was amazing to see and Remi was the perfect fit for them since she didn't judge, just observed, accepted and gave them what they needed. The twist was fun. I did wonder....but didn't fully catch on. This was a great read and if you're looking for laugh definitely pick this up.

I'm ROARING with laughter.
That plot twist, I can't!!! I LOVED IT. And Remi is just so fantastic, her personality is fantastic and the guys is fantasticly written. I love a wounded soldier.

Ok when I first started reading this book I was like “awesome another plague book” but I kept going and I’m glad I did. This book was hilarious. I found myself laughing a lot. It was spicy but not too spicy and it was plot heavy. The ending was also amazing and so very well done! Loved this book, highly recommend for a lighthearted read.

Didn’t like the FMC.
Too arrogant, too ‘special snowflake’, she was an expert at everything, knew more, was better than everyone…
The guys all sounded the same, though that may have eventually changed, but I wasn’t enjoying myself enough to find out.
The humour fell flat for me much of the time, especially involving the SSF.
It wasn’t all bad, just didn’t work for me.

3.5 stars. Until the ending, it was a 3-star book for me. The twist gives it an extra half star. I wanted more plot to the book, conflict, action. To be fair, I didn’t read the synopsis…I just read it because it was Ivy and Raven, and I generally like both of their books. It’s a good palate cleanser, a little spicy-fluffy read.
