hollywood hotties!!!

I enjoyed this book & the humor! it wasn’t considered a super spicy read, but I did enjoy the characters & how they were portrayed. it was a quick read, but still gave me enough to where I felt generally satisfied reading it.

I didn't not enjoy this but idk how to feel.  It didn't feel like there was anything other than sex between them. I don't normally have issues with sex/no plot but there was an attempt at plot that fell short. Was not a fan of the brothers thing.

While this book wasn't super long or had very fleshed-out characters, I enjoyed reading it!
If you want a nice and cozy contemporary reverse harem romance between all the rest you are reading, this is the one to pick up!

Allie finds herself suddenly homeless and her best friends promises to have her actor brother pay back a favor by offering to let her stay with him and his two roommates. When they meet the beautiful curvy teacher sparks fly. The three guys make a pact with Allie that none of them will act on their desires. Until one day, the pact is broken. This book is light on substance with a little bit of character development.

If I have to hear about how curvy she is one more time, I will seriously fight someone.
I get it. She’s curvy. Skinny men couldn’t handle her because she’s curvy. She’s not skinny, she’s got curves. Because she’s curvy.

I feel like we didn’t get to know the characters at all. Matt was the little brother living in his big brother’s shadow, Luke was still reeling from a divorce and Shane was a control freak. That’s it. That was their personality. I think it was meant to be a quick read and so maybe that’s why we didn’t get to know them but????

Not to mention the fact that it was practically insta-love. The MC makes a point of stating that she knows it all happened so quickly which I appreciated her acknowledging. Lust? Yeah for sure. Love? Give me a break.

Not to mention that what is it with authors and

Spoiler

making the discarded love interest suddenly turn into a psychotic freak? Allie’s ex was definitely trash but he went from douchey to full blown creepy freak?

I didn’t wanna finish it but I had to know how it ended. In case you’re wondering, it ends just as badly as it began.
