2.0

This book is exactly what it states in the synopsis and author note. A fast, erotic romp with some dark and twisted “why choose” and “reverse harem” tropes. 

The only reason I’m not scoring it higher, cause again it was exactly as advertised, is because I found the main character to be a simpering idiot. Not because of who she’s hooking up with, no, but because she was just insufferable in general and didn’t sell me on reading any more in the series.
