After reading 365 pages, I still had 2+ hours left (and I’m a very fast reader). I just feel like this was drawn out so much more than necessary and I had to move on.

I wasn’t sure how this would work since they were all brothers but they were able to find a dynamic that worked.
This one was interesting. I'd read another by this author and it was actually the second book in this duo that caught my attention this time, but I decided to go back and read this first. It was fine, and I enjoyed it enough to read the next one, but it felt a little longer than it needed to be. I don't often read why choose romances that involve brothers as the MCs (feels a little too close to invest to me even though they aren't there for each other), so I was a little wary the entire way through. It ended up being fine but I still think it took too long for her to get to a place where she could acknowledge her feelings for any of them, let alone all three. I get why she did, the storyline with her narcissistic mother and awful family made that clear. Overall I'm not mad I read it, but it's still book two I'm looking forward to.

I’ve read a few Why Choose romances and quite a few have been excellent. Bummed about this one though and nearly DNF’d it.
I found it incredibly difficult to get into, and Jamie’s character is not endearing in any way. It’s the slimmest of plots - needing a boyfriend as her mother wants her married off, and all of a sudden three brothers of her best friend are all in insta-love with her. And always have been. Oh and there’s a set of twins …. Because of course there are (insert eye roll).
Basically there was insufficient plot between the sex scenes and unfortunately some of those were really stilted and felt cobbled together.
Bummed as this is Australian?

This was a hard one for me to rate. I really valued the discussions that happened in this book regarding how emotionally abusive her family was but at the same time I got so annoyed with some of the scenes discussing this topic. I liked the guys and think they provided a really great way for her to learn to be accepted and care about people. I was kind of annoyed with our female character though which is why I don’t think I ended up being really emotionally invested in the story. I will say that I always appreciate having a romance where the characters don’t want to have kids.
