rayonx's review against another edition

This book in one sentence: Sawyer's life is simple, he has a crush on his neighbor and is finishing his degree, but when three mysterious fellows move across the street, Sawyer suddenly finds himself in a brand news paranormal world he never knew existed and everything has changed.
My rating: ⭐⭐
Steaminess: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
My recommendation:This book had a lot of potential, the premise itself is interested. But the porn-to-plot ratio is way off. It's like 70% sex scenes. There is no romantic build-up between the characters, they're just all suddenly in love and in bed with each other. I really think it could have benefitted from a little more character develop and universe building, but the set-up is compelling enough that I'll give the next book in the series a try.
Tropes: chosen one, fated mates, instalove

i really enjoy the start of this poly/harem romance, which I am a fan of, and the audio gave it extra life
it's a classic newbie into the world, which is how we learn about it, along with the 'chosen one' troupe if done slightly different but i overall enjoy the way the romance between the five main characters get started even if it is a insta-love.
this series is best read in the Chosen Universe order. there comes a time later in the series where others come into play and i'd hate for you to be spoiled about other great books in the series

This was really pretty good. Too much happens for me to be able to explain it right. Plus, I don't want to spoil anything. Looking forward to book 2.

Hot
While the book is 75% sex, the background plot was interesting and the sex was scorching. I want to meet the other guardians and find out what evil awaits.

Well, that was a sexy bit of magical fun. I enjoyed all these characters, it’s hard to pick a favorite. I look forward to seeing how this develops.
faerietrails's review against another edition
A gratuitous amount of mediocre, insta-lust-fueled sex scenes between characters I don't care about. All the chemistry is just "we're all hot so let's fuck". I'm more lenient about a thin plot in erotica, but there was nothing good to balance it out.

3.5 ⭐ I rated it this low due to much more sex than I felt was needed, especially with a start of a story we probably needed more actual story rather than sex.
Overall I am interested in seeing how the story plays out, I just hope for a bit more story content in the next book.

Title - All Or Nothing (The Chosen One #1)
Author - Macy Blake
Genre - MM Romance, Paranormal
Published - July 2018
Pages - 220
Sawyer Smith is days away from getting his graduate degree and he's ready to take on the world, all he has to do is convince his best friend Draco to come with him. There's just one problem, Draco is hiding a huge secret. When three mysterious men move in over the road, Sawyers's life changes forever. Thrown into a world of shifters and chosen ones. Things get even more complicated when Sawyer finds himself attracted not only to his best friend but to all the chosen one's guardians. As the danger grows Sawyer has a choice to make, guard his heart against the men he's fallen in love with or give in and risk everything.
Well, I thought the first book was good, but this one was even better. I loved Henry in the first book and was so glad to see him get his own book. I loved all the characters in this book, I thought they were all absolutely perfect and they fit so well together. This book was so dam freaking hot too. Like, take a cold shower after you've read it hot.
The plot was fast-paced, and interesting, keeping me hooked and desperate to read/listen to the next one. I cannot wait to get into the rest of the series and the other books connected to this series. I found the book to be well written, easy to follow and it flowed really well.
I enjoy this author's writing style and have quickly become a huge fan of this author.

All or Nothing was a very enjoyable for me, but there was a lot of sex. There are five main characters in this first book. The story follows Sawyer (a human), Draco (a dragon shifter), Andvari ( a vampire), Eduard (a griffin shifter), and Henry (a mage) as they figure out a centuries old prophecy about a choosen one.

Damn!!!
This story is fun. There is PLENTY of sex. Its very hot but I did not mind. There were a few things I would have preferred a little more depth but again its a lot about the sex and that was a lot of fun. Characters are in depth and you get to.like them a lot. Lahabrea king forward to the next book.
