This was definitely a fun, fast, enjoyable read! I really appreciated the LGBTQ+ representation, which is often something I find lacking in the 'Why Choose' space of romance. The spicy scenes weren't always my favorite and sometimes felt a big awkward, but that's probably to be expected with multiple men in a relationship with one woman.
Lastly, there were a few grammatical and spelling errors, but I tried not to take note of those too much to let that affect my rating.
Thank you, Katie Ashley for the eArc!

I was in the mood for something smutty, and this definitely hit the spot. It was a fun, steamy read that didn’t take itself too seriously, which is exactly what I wanted. The spicy scenes were well done and kept the pace moving, making it an enjoyable escape.
There were a few moments where I felt like I missed some transitions or connections between characters. Some developments happened a bit suddenly, and I found it a little hard to believe how quickly certain changes occurred. But honestly, it didn’t take away too much from the experience—it was easy to just go with the flow and enjoy the ride.
Overall, it delivered what I came for: heat, tension, and a fast-moving plot. If you're looking for something sexy and entertaining without overthinking it, this is a solid pick.
I quite enjoyed this story. I really liked the character development throughout the book, it never felt too rushed or too slow. Also the amount of spice scenes, not too many, not too few and spread out thought out the book.
My one qualm is how quickly the relationship came about. I get why cos other stuff had to happen but it felt a little rushed to me.
Apart from that, I give it 4 stars. Nice quick read.

Absolutely wonderful! Really was a good story. It was a spicy story but not overwhelming. Loved the love all three men have for Vivian.

I enjoyed it, I liked that it showed the kind of work they all had to put in to make the relationship work and the characters were loveable although Grayson and Bennett were my faves.
I didn't like how the story kept seeming to imply that 30 was old but that might just be because I'm 36 and trying to maintain my youth.
There was also an underlying theme of religion that I wasn't into but that's just because I'm not into that kind of thing personally.
Otherwise I enjoyed the story and had a good time reading it even if Vivian sometimes behaved like a 50 year old woman.

I really enjoyed this one, it was such a good time. I absolutely flew through it in the space of 2 sittings. The writing flows smoothly, although the first spicy scene did feel a little awkward in the writing but it didn’t take away from anything. The characters are interesting and work really well together. The banter throughout was really good and had me laughing to myself.

Blew through this one! It is exactly what you want from a hockey romance - sweet, spicy, and brain-rotting. This foursome has such a fun dynamic, and the LGBTQ+ representation was an unexpected bonus. A perfectly breezy read that balanced out the horror I read right before it…

This was a really quick, fun read. It did have some cringe, but some of the best smut does. I love a why choose romance and I zoomed right on through. I loved the characters and the different dynamics between them. If you’re looking for a good time, palate cleanser book, this is it.

i wasn’t sure if i was going to like this book because the beginning started off a little on the corny side for me, but i ended up really liking it!
i loved the chemistry between everyone and the different dynamics that everyone brought to the polycule. 🥹 add in a baby to the mix and you get the most perfect, most dysfunctional family. i am obsessed with bennett, grayson, and theo equally! vivian was such a fun fmc, and she’s a librarian! 👀
