Too Safe
by Abby Millsaps
Spice: 4 peppers
April 2024: I rearead this beauty via audiobook with the Read Indie With Me group (@readindiewithme on Instagram) and WOW! The narrators were fantastic, especially the female narrator. So good!

To say I devoured, inhaled, consumed this book is an understatement. Perhaps it consumed me. New favorite author to add to my list? Absolutely! Abby Millsaps is an absolute hidden gem that people should read immediately!
Why choose/Reverse harem romance is one of my favorites, and yet it’s also the one subgenre of romance that has to be done in a specific way for me to be utterly obsessed with it. I want the guys to be super close, so that there’s no drama or jealousy among the group. I want to get to know them all, and for them to have distinctive personalities to that they don’t seem all like the same guy multiplied by four of five. I want the protagonist to have a special connection with them singularly but also as a group. Bonus, I want to fall in love with them all. Easy right? *hides away* Well, this book ticked all of these boxes and then some.
The contemporary setting did nothing to hinder my enjoyment of the reverse harem trope, and I say this because I know some people prefer it in fantasy. I for one have mostly read it in fantasy, but not for any particular reason. I was excited to jump into this book especially because of the contemporary setting, and who knows, this might also be part of the reason why I read this so quickly. That, and the characters, who were simply wonderful. Decker Crusade and his boys were a tight-knit group of insanely hot and incredible guys, each with their own quirks and reasons to love them. Their dynamics with Jospehine are fantastic and choosing a favorite is quite literally impossible, though Kendrik is the one we still need to get to know a little better as he’s the one who hasn’t entirely warmed up to our dear Josephine/Joey/Jo/Hot Girl/Ohio/siren. (Yes, I love all the nicknames.) Speaking of Joey, she’s a wonderful protagonist with a lot of baggage and history that we’ve yet to fully uncover. All I know is that my heart breaks for her. I also really loved Hunter, her friend, and I wouldn’t say no to have an entirely new book or series for her because she’s that awesome.
I’m looking forward to inhaling the second book the moment it comes out at the end of September because I need the boys. And also that ending! Did I scream into my pillow? Of course I did.
Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy. Opinions are my own.
