First, let me say this was my first experience with a true reverse harem, I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't this.
This story is soulshattering in its beauty, the love story between Kiarra and "the boys" imagine having love and not knowing what it was until it had been taken away, or thinking that the person you were meant to be with had left you when really she'd been taken or even finding out the person you had been so mad at for so long had been tortured into silence.
This book just left me wanting more over and over and over again and I'm here for it. It's also pretty low on the spice scale, so if you're not sure how you feel about the idea of multiple people in a relationship this might be a good place to start.
Since I had the privilege of listening to this book I have to say both narrators are fantastic, Scarlett Everdeen did a phenomenal job giving voices to all of our characters until that last scene, and then Chase T. Walker stole the breath out of me.
I will be looking for audiobooks with dual or even multiple narrators from this point, it gives so much more depth to the story.
Now I will say there are a few things that just didn't work for me but maybe that's because I'm new to this genre, I will say I can't wait to get my hands on the next book in this series.
Thank you to Dreamscape Media and NetGalley for providing a copy of this audio book, I have voluntarily listened to it and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
