This might come off more than as a rant than a review but oh well. Y'all this was supposed to be a Reverse Harem, but I’m still trying to figure out how?

Just because you have a hot group of guys that are friends with one girl, but only one dates her doesn’t make it Reverse Harem! I hadn't read an RH book in a while so I was excited when I came across this one, only to be really disappointed. If you are interested in reading a real RH, then try the Kit Davenport series by Tate James or Curse of the Gods series by Jane Washington and Jaymin Eve.

The story was okay but let me talk about the guys for a second. The jobs that they had were ridiculously unrealistic! These guys are in college with a business of giving women pleasure (without sex) in order to bring more people to their dating app. I’m sorry, what?

As far as the relationship goes it was good. I did enjoy Knox as a romantic interest even though I do think he had a fetish with Shawn’s skin color. Don’t get me wrong, I loved that the heroine was a woman of color, but it really seemed like the author was making Knox have a fetish for her skin color in the book. Maybe it’s just me.

I also did enjoy Leo and Finn. Those guys were hilarious and I would love to read about the shenanigans that they would get themselves into. They were the comedic relief here and I loved them.

While there were parts that I did like about this one, I still have to give it a low rating because it wasn’t a true reverse harem story. If it’s not a duck, doesn’t quack like a duck, then it isn’t a duck.
