I genuinely cannot read this anymore. I cringe every time one of the MMCs opens their mouth. Why are they speaking to her like that? Also, DNF at 60%
I genuinely cannot read this anymore. I cringe every time one of the MMCs opens their mouth. Why are they speaking to her like that? Also, this was so bad it kind of felt like an omegaverse parody.
It officially killed me when they start discussing her smutty books DURING HER HEAT and one of the guys just gets up and starts reading aloud one of the books just because she was trying to explain that she once read a scene with DP on it, and they act like it's a concept they've never heard before and need to research asap? idk. I'm also kind of done of having FMCs obsessed with smutty books and them being called a "dirty girl" and -literal quote from this book- "It's always the innocent-looking ones who've got a secret freaky side". First of all, gross - no one asked you. Second of all, she's in her first ever heat. Through all of this conversation, in the most out of her mind, vulnerable state she's ever been in... The disrespect. I can't.
3 ⭐️ An ending I should have expected, but didn't.
I don't mean that in a good way either. By the end of this book, every single choice and concession3 ⭐️ An ending I should have expected, but didn't.
I don't mean that in a good way either. By the end of this book, every single choice and concession the FMC had ever made to protect herself and her happiness is effectively gone and ruined. I understand that everyone is allowed to change their minds, but half of the reason why I loved book #1 so much was cause Rosalie was looking for a truly alternative way to live and love. One of her own design.
This ending was just extremely disappointing to me. Cute, but disappointing. This, from the beginning, has felt more like a fantasy than a fictional historical romance, and I loved that about it.
This is officially my least favourite Emily Rath's book. It's still three stars though. I love her books. This one, though, I'm not sure. ...more
4 ⭐️ I don't know if Emily Rath is capable of writing something I won't like...
She proves herself every time. Are her books long to the point of hila4 ⭐️ I don't know if Emily Rath is capable of writing something I won't like...
She proves herself every time. Are her books long to the point of hilarity often? Sure. But, holy mother of all things romance, does she know how to write a slow burn, reverse harem, historical romance.
This is unrealistic in all the ways I love. These characters are more open-minded and free than they could've even been irl! Well, most of them...
And yes, I am already reading Book #2.
My only note: I kind of hate James. There. I said it. Ups.
That's a joke about the plot, don't pick this up expecting this book to be vanilla, this book 4 ⭐️ Reverse Harem Omegaverse Romance: Vanilla Edition!
That's a joke about the plot, don't pick this up expecting this book to be vanilla, this book is really spicy. And it was exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a nice omegaverse romance and this one delivered!
Esme has always had to play catch-up with her twin sister, an internationally famous actress and sweetheart, an icon that everyone wants, except when her sister finds her own pack every alpha turns to Esme to be the chance they never got with her sister. Always feeling alone and misunderstood, Esme finds it hard to keep putting herself out there, even when she wants desperately to find a pack of her own. Of course, when her sister convinces her to go to a celebrity-filled party, she never expects to smell the most delicious vanilla cupcake she's ever known. And she most definitely never expected that vanilla cupcake to be a delicious-looking alpha tattooing someone in the middle of the party.
This was so entertaining, even if I felt like there were one too many MMCs. I feel like I kept confusing the men -not Bennet, or Rylan- but Kade, Avery and Luke... Idk. I love reverse harems. Love them. I also love that they all bring something new to the table, but they're introduced so quickly, and then most of them are just a blur. I also really liked that they had a beta in their pack -Rylan. It felt fresh since I don't think it's common in Omegaverse romances to have four alphas and a beta with alpha energy, at least not that I've read before. I loved Rylan and I don't think his character was explored nearly enough! I wanted to explore what their omega/beta vibe would be like.
This could've been so much better if the FMC's BFF would've known how to speak like a normal person, and not like a twelv3 ⭐️ Valentine's Day Vixens.
This could've been so much better if the FMC's BFF would've known how to speak like a normal person, and not like a twelve-year-old prepubescent boy. Some instances of the hair-rising, horrifying phrases this woman uses to describe genitalia/sex are: 'kitty kitty', 'got your little boom boom yum yummed', 'got to tickle the pickle', 'boinked', 'you ba-doinka-doinked', 'needed the d¡cky d¡ck up in you', 'getting boned', 'that man-candy's cock-a-doodle-doo', 'donkey d¡ck', and others that I refuse to look up rn because I'm already cringed out.
The whole MMFMM action was really fun, the smut was pretty great -the dirty talk got cringy af a couple of times- but there really was a lot more plot than I thought it would be. Please understand here that when I say plot, it does NOT mean character development. There's zero of that. All five MCs are basically blow-up dollies with their tacked-on couple of characteristics/skills that define them.
This ends in a huge cliffhanger/open ending since the series continues, but I don't know if I'm invested enough to keep going. Also, two of the MCs are brothers (??) but they participate in group scenes together and... idk, that just feels really weird to me.
This book is not the first I've read of its kind: poly romances, sports romances, queer romances... Name the romance tr3 ⭐️ Why choose MMFM romance *
This book is not the first I've read of its kind: poly romances, sports romances, queer romances... Name the romance trope, I've probably read it. And all I have to say about this book is that, while it's definitely not an awful book, there are much better poly romances out there.
Still, this book was admittedly really fun to read. This is a 1000% a pleasure read, so I wasn't expecting a revolutionary masterpiece of literature. But there were too many intalove/instalust moments, which are usually not a problem for me, but the fact that one of the mmcs in this MMFM romance doesn't actually interact with all the rest of the mcs until about three-quarters of the way into the book is not ok to me. It felt lacking and empty in a sense that didn't sit quite well. Especially since this particular mmc is the one that tries to carry the whole ex-stepbrother, 'enemies-to-lovers' vibe. Him and the fmc get over their issues basically by ignoring them and banging them out, which I'm sure it's a great system... It's also just toxic af, and not really something I'm interested in or like to read about.
That being said, the MM relationship in the book is really cute, even if it's not all that explored on page (or at least not as much as I personally would've liked). This book is mostly carried by the smutty scenes and the fact that the FMC really just wants to be an OF star after 'selling her virginity' basically-which also wasn't my favourite thing. No shame to sex workers at all, but the whole 'virgin-to-OF content creator' felt weird and way too surreal, even for an obviously fictional smut book.
I don't know if I'd recommend this book to someone who is just starting to read poly/ reverse harem books, but it's a trope that you have already explored and loved, maybe this book could be for you!

I'm so serious. I kind of already knew what I was getting myself into, but this surpassed every expectation I had. The plot is extremely instalove and instalust, and I know that's not really everyone's cup of tea, but I loved it!
Leo and Jace's preexisting relationship felt like an itch I wanted to scratch until it melted into what it always should've been and seeing Riley with them was a delight. I didn't love the premise/ initial lie and I wished it could've felt less insidious, but I get it. ...more

Edit: I would personally like to thank Emily Rath for enhancing Say Don't Go by Taylor Swift forever for me. Not my favourite song in and of itself, but... It comes up on my playlists at least once a week, and every time I can't help but picture Caleb (High Version) singing in the car with tears in his eyes, breaking his own heart over his hottie husband not loving him back. Seriously, every single time! I can't...
I go feral for this series - there's just no other way to put it. I need more! This was an absolute tease, and I have only two things to say: 1. I am aware that this wasn't that short, however, I've gotten used to reading 600+ pages of these wonderful characters, so this felt short af. 2. ILMARI & CALEB 4EVER!!!!!!!... And, yes, also Jake and Ryan but, you know, those are my golden retriever cinnamon rolls and they were already #1 to begin with.
