emilyofbookishadventures 's review for:

My Brother's Teammates by Melissa Ivers
3.75
funny tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: N/A
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Listen...if you don't know what you're in for by the dedication page alone, ooof. Ivers & McMaster know how to write some spice! Loved both the poly and male bi-awakening representations and some great positive sexual health & consent scenes too. The Spotify Playlist was fun to listen too while reading.

As far as the plot goes, it's cute but gets repetitive with four POVs and everyone thinking basically the same thing over and over again. Left me wanting more of the actual plot to be flushed out rather than four internal monologs of the same situation. 

For those looking for:

- Polyamory 
- Bi - Awakening 
- Forced Proximity 
- So much spice 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶
