There's a lot of behavior from various players toward the FMC in the capacity of her job that is meant to be cute but would absolutely be sexual harassment irl.michelem's review against another edition

Started out great with "That One Night" or whatever it was called. Then fizzled. Didn't need to be as long as it was. The FMC was weak. I was so excited. A woman in a male dominated career had to have some backbone. She really didn't have much of one and her personality... nonexistent. Guy 1 super needy. Guy 2 aloof. Guy 3 was the best IMO, but don't come at me with that ginormous sounding part. The book is maybe 10% plot, 90% smut. Do with it what you will.

jachnax's review against another edition
Okey so I have a lot to say about this book.
After reading my first adult romance book I wanted to tip in the more smutty area of books and try how I would like that. I heard about a lot of different books and I was just never feeling the way that that would be an actual good book with an actual good writing style.
This was the first book I thought might actually good....boy was I wrong.
The writing style feels like you are reading a fanfic and it's really repetitive, cringey and doesn't make much sense, but I was ready to overlook that and at the beginning it was looking good.
The plot with Rachel getting the Doctor thing and all was actually interesting and I wanted to see where that would go and it actually made sense. Her relationship with Jake (I have read the novella) was fine enough. I was okey to overlook of the whole "You are mine" stuff I really dislike.
I was even positive cuz this book actually mentioned consent and I was hoping this would just be a lil cringey smut to enjoy.
But this has so much misogyny, sexism, homophobia sprinkled in there. Rachel is the typical 'I'm not like other girls' and she is 'one of the boys' until a certain point I just couldn't stand it.
She was so unbearable, honestly all of them were...
The only one I liked kinda was Mars but idk if with further reading that would've changed but I just couldn't pull through anymore. It got to a point where I didn't even enjoy the smut of this anymore.
I also heard that with the journey of Jake and Caleb there comes even more homophobia and I dont think I could've beared that, so I decided to stop.
I dont know what else to say. I actually could say a lot more....
This is a bad wattpad smut story nobody should need to pay for.
The quality is not existent and i can not believe that this book which badically is nothing but bad porn was actually TRADITIONALLY PUBLISHED
The end
...
I hate this book

Let's be honest. This book is for what it is, period. To read it with your favorite toy at hand and not give the plot too much thought. Porn with (bad) plot, that's all. Don't take it seriously... because if you do.... well, it's a book with some pretty toxic characters. Rachel is a whiny (actually, she whines all the time), manipulative spoiled brat who at no time thinks about anything but her brown pussy. Jake is an insecure little boy who has a lot of self-esteem to work on, the author says he's a golden reteiever, but perhaps he's the most toxic. Caleb could have been an interesting character if he had accepted his sexuality and communicated more, (as it looked like he was going to). And Ilmari... look, the guy is possessive as fuck and has monumental trauma. But hey, they're all possessive as hell and carry their traumas with them. If I dig deeper into the plot, I get more pissed off: their (the boy's) sexuality is specifically misrepresented, because they never admit that they like boys; the relationships between them.... (I think it would all make more sense if Caleb and Jake had something going on before Rachel arrived, if Ilmari had entered the relationship through Jake or Caleb, not Rachel). And worst of all, how toxic and unrealistic relationships and sex are, and that this is available to young impressionable girls. Zero judgedment if you read it as an adult with a head in orden to have a good time, but making it available to young girls seems very dangerous to me and normalizes horrible and super toxic things.

Wow, a lot sure can happen to a gal in 5 months!
Are there some problematic elements in this story? Yes. Was it enjoyable? Hell yes!
This was such a fun take on a RH MMFM relationship, but oh yeah...what mess. While it is a loooong book that could have easily trimmed ~300 pages without losing anything from the (lack of) plot, I never felt the need to skim. It is a very easy read and, for the most part, well-written.
Each character is fun, but they all read college-age NA to me rather than their actual 27-30 y.o (with the exception of maybe Ilmari). There were a number of times I had to eye roll over some of their choices or actions, but again, it didn't take away from my overall enjoyment of the book.
All-in-all, it's a low angst, high steam, insta-love, sex fest of a book!

I get that it's a major part of the story, but it feels like there was more focus put into the smut than the actual plot, making the rest of the book feel very watered down. this book definitely didn't need to be that long and no where near as much sex was needed.
That being said, i did love all the characters and enjoyed seeing how they connected (p.s. jake is the best)

PLLLEASEEE TELL ME WHY CHAPTER 83 IS IN RACHEL'S POV????¿¿¿¿
Chapters 83 and 93 should have never been in Rachel's perspective. That should've been Caleb or Jake *at least*.
But anyway I was shook to my core when I saw the amount of pages but I ate them right up.
Smut was 11/10
Character dynamics were phenomenal.
The writing did not give 14 year old wattpad fanfic.
Good smut + decent writing = hooked, line, and sinker
Sometimes it felt like you were stuck at the same problem over and over in different fonts like you're just reusing the same conflicts. "Yes I do love you this can work".
Speaking of which thank fuck for this part cause I was just about fed tf up
“Wait,” I say. “Everybody fucking stop. Rachel, we’re not gonna play
this game with you. At least, I know I’m not. I will not spend a single
moment of my time convincing you to stay—”
“Don’t be an asshole,” Jake growls at me.
“I’m not being an asshole,” I counter. “I’m knowing my own self-worth. I
don’t beg the people I love to love me back. Jake, get off your fucking knees,
and stop being a pussy. If she wants to go, let her go. If she wants to stay, let
her stay. We don’t try to convince her either way.”
“Agreed,” says Mars, crossing his arms over his bare chest
I did start to get a bit annoyed with Rachel's character and having chapters I think shouldn't be in her pov being in her pov didn't help but from the jump I was ready to give this book 5 stars and I still hold it in very high regard.
