3.5⭐️
These books are damn addicting because the groveling is really good!
Yes the guys are idiots but in his case he was trying to protect the h…
There is the dreaded OW drama🙄
OW are dealt with later on after the hurt and humiliation caused to the h👏🏻
Atlas did everything I wanted him to to erase the ugly memories he created!
Joy is a plus size h but Atlas loves it. He regrets never sticking up for her and going along with the cruel remarks. Big fucking mistake and she lets him and everyone have it!!
No cheating here! I will NOT read this authors cheating(physical) books.

This story is posted on Wattpad and can be read free there.
Please be aware in all these books the Hero messes up in varying degrees from saying something very disloyal to full out cheating, each story is different.
https://www.wattpad.com/user/GroveltoHEA
Note from the author.
Here's what you'll get with my stories:
A strong h.
An H who messes up (never the h!) with either cheating (and I consider kissing OW cheating) or some other betrayal.
An H who gets his a$$ handed to him for said mess up.
An H doing the grovel to HEA! (Always, always, always have to have an HEA between the H and h, but the H has to really work for it.)
And, in cases of nasty OW...karma will be stopping by to say hello.
What you'll never get:
An h moving on to another man in a serious way.
The h having revenge s3x (it's just not going to happen).
The h and OW becoming friends (that is also never going to happen).
In this story the heroine doesn't know that if any of the men become involved with her, she's out. So it's part of the reason the Hero keeps it a secret.
He is being bribed by one of the women to flirt with her sister.
HEA.

***TRIGGER WARNING: Body-shaming by others and negative body image of the heroine. ***
**Safety: no cheating of any kind. MCs aren't with anyone else after meeting, but there is some mild OW drama.
12/3/23-
This one was really good and surprisingly sweet. While he had good intentions, Atlas was a big dummy with the decisions he made in trying to keep Joy "safe." He's really a precious boy with a big heart hidden underneath his stupidity. God, he really redeemed himself, though. Even though this has angst, it was sweet enough that I might consider this one a comfort-read in the future.
I really liked both MCs and I thought they were a good match. As I said, Atlas is a total sweetheart and he completely won me over with the sincerity and genuine remorse in his actions and his words. The way he coveted Joy's chocolate chip cookies and the one scene where he held a container of them to his chest was so fucking cute. His redeeming acts/words were both big and small, but most of them were so significant that they seemed bigger. This is one case where I won't be giving spoilers for his redemption, because when each act is done or discovered by Joy, it's something that readers need to experience for themselves to have a bigger impact. Every hurt that was inflicted on Joy was atoned for and each one was replaced with a redeeming act/word while still acknowledging the initial hurt.
Joy was a truly strong heroine in that she repeatedly stood up for herself to Atlas and to the MC members-- even the "prez" (who I don't like for the emotionally manipulative stunt he pulled on Genny in her book). I loved that one scene where she put an MC member in his place and continued to do so with several other people.
Sidenote: I loved how obsessive Joy was with the placement of everything in "her" kitchen and adjusting everything exactly if she notices something slightly out of place. I felt so seen because I'm the same way with the laundry area of my house; if someone touches anything, I will know. 👀

Couldn't stand both the Zero and Zeroine. Both pathetic.

He grovelled. And she was amazing.

This was my first wattpad read ever 😂. It was fine. I didn't know what to expect when I started the book. There were mistakes here and there, but it didn't bother me, I basically flew through this read 😂.
Men, the MMC was so dumb. He would have shown he's smarter than that b*tch by going to his president and fucking talk with him! I'm pretty sure he would have understood, banned those b*tches, and let them have their relationship. But hey, no extensive groveling would have been needed in this case, hence no story 😂.
I do think he groveled nicely. And she didn't give up easily, which was great! He worked really hard to deserve forgiveness.
I would have loved his pov when those events at the beginning happened. I wanted to read his thoughts when he had to sit there and laugh, knowing she would be devastated if she saw that.
This story does not have any per se 🔥, it's implied. This didn't bother me, I read this book for the groveling without cheating trope and it somehow delivered!

This was just ok. Definitely wasn't a favorite and it's kinda forgettable compared to the other MC books in this series

3RD TIME READING THOUGHTS - I really wish Joy had stood up for herself earlier with Atlas. And I want to shake him SOOOO BAD for not talking to her and being selfish.
Joy needs a standing ovation for standing up for herself! This is a case of if Atlas had talked to Joy and told her what was going on there would not have been a problem. But he was selfish. He did make it up to her though ;)

-dual POV
-insta love/lust
-h(27)/H(30)
-both celibate after meeting
-no virgins
-they'd been together for almost 6 months when the H fucked up
-OW - a club girl (Trixie) and her sister (Brandi - H's ex fuck buddy) caused drama... Trixie blackmailed Atlas and he played along to protect Joy, he really regretted his actions when he realized how much he'd hurt her (there's NO cheating, when I read this part I thought maybe he was into Brandi because we see it from Joy's POV, but that wasn't the case at all)
-OM? not really - an MC member invited Joy to go for a ride and she accepted, Atlas got super jealous 🤭 but nothing happened between them, he acted more like a father figure to her
-separation - several months (he groveled all that time 😍)
-I liked Atlas, he was jealous and possessive and sooo sweet and dumb at the same time
-Joy was equally strong and insecure - there were a couple times where she annoyed me but I liked her overall
-great epilogue - around 7 years later - married with a kid and another on the way
**"I've had it, Joy. Not with you being mad at me because I acted like an asshole, but because I'm tired of the way you see yourself. And I know I added to that, but trust me when I tell you that the stupid, thoughtless actions of mine do not reflect how I see you. They reflect the stupidity of a man who couldn't help going where he shouldn't have with you because I was fucking gone for you the minute you smiled at me, and then I went along with stupid things to make sure you didn't lose your job and Trixie didn't fucking rat us out to Beard. I made all the wrong choices. I hurt you. But I want to be perfectly fucking clear that the way you see yourself is not how I see you at all, and I'll be damned if I don't set the record straight right now."**
**"I think you're the most beautiful woman, inside and out, that I've ever known. The way you notice people and help them amazes me, Joy. You raised your little brother, you work hard as hell at your job, you're working to improve your life and I respect every fucking thing about you. So, I understand your anger, I deserve it, but don't tell me how I see you or feel about you because your version of reality isn't even close to mine."**
**"I'll do everything I can to make you believe me because I love you, Joy. No one else has ever heard those words from me. Not my parents, not my brother, no one. Until you. And I get it if you can't believe me, if you don't believe me, but I know how I feel." He loved me? "You sure have a funny way of showing it." "I know I failed, and I did everything wrong, Joy. I'm not denying anything I did that was wrong and hurtful to you. And even though I don't know the first thing about love, I do know I want to start getting it right. I've been trying to get it right for months because all I want to do is spend the rest of my life by your side." "Atlas, I was falling in love with you." "And then I ruined it." Regret made him sound sad, defeated. Had he? Had he completely ruined it? I didn't know how to answer that, so I said nothing. "Joy," he said, the regret morphing into determination, "I'm going to bring back your feelings for me. I'm going to show you that I love you and you're safe with me."**
**"You hurt me, Kit. I've been hurt a lot, but nobody's ever hurt me like you did." "I know I did, Joy, and it about kills me. I'm sorry." "The thing is, I can understand you were trying, in your own way, to protect me. But what you did made me think you didn't have any compassion. It was needlessly cruel." "Joy --" I interrupted him. "But I also know that you've been doing everything you can to make it right. Showing me you learned from your mistakes, and I don't think you'd ever treat me or anyone like that again." "No. I wouldn't." "People hurt other people all the time and they just go on, not really caring that they hurt someone. They don't apologize or even care what they've done. It doesn't bother them. But what you did bothered you." "Hurting you gutted me." His voice was raw with shame. "I believe you."**

3.5 ⭐
Atlas/Kit and Joy met when she was hired to be the cook in this MC's club. The MC president warned everyone to stay away from Joy because she'll get fired if they do. But Atlas didn't listen, and since his and Joy's rooms were next to each other, things eventually happened between them.
He has to keep it a secret to protect Joy and for her not to get kicked out of the club. And in doing so, he did a lot of messed-up things that hurt her along the way. Since Joy vowed to not let anyone make her feel so small again, she ended things between them.
Atlas was a dumb and clueless guy, but I know his heart was in the right place and that Joy was his priority. He lost it on a few occasions when she wouldn't give him time of the day. Her indifference was driving him up to the wall, and he doesn't know how to fix them and get Joy back.
But he didn't give up, and he did everything he could to prove how sorry he was for ruining things between them. He waited patiently for Joy to finally come around, and he didn't stop all the efforts to win her back. It was actually swoony how he got it so bad for her and that he didn't let his brothers words and barbs deter him from groveling. This guy was all in right from the very beginning.
Anyway, Joy saw Atlas's sincerity and forgave him for what he had done. They got back together and found their HEA. I loved the epilogue too, it was just so adorable. ❤️

how is Atlas lying to Joy, laughing at fat jokes made about her. doing ol'lady shit with ow a better option than actually telling Joy the truth?
i was ready to forgive him but laughing at the fat jokes constantly made about her and never once defending her just was not it, no excuse is valide for how he never had her back when EVERYONE bullied her. he could have easily told her that Trixie was black mailing him yet he chose to be a total dick and completely shatter her confidence .
2 stars for Joy because she is one of the best Fmc written by groveltohea, she was sunshine but not a doormat, she was calme and patient but when she snapped she SNAPPED.
safety:
- no physical or emotional cheating, BUT what Atlas did with ow could be considered cheating for alot of people aka dancing with her, giving her rides on his bike reserved for ol' ladies, wives ...etc, taking her to run errands..etc. all while keeping joy on the back burner
owd: clubgirl Trixie makes him do all these things with her sister Bradie when she finds out about him and Joy.
his intention was not to cheat and he did not want ow in any shape or form, he didn’t have feelings for her nor was he physically attracted to her. BUT he still CHOSE to do all those things with her instead of telling Joy what was going on

March 12, 2024*won’t be rating these books (or at least some of them) just because I have no idea how I feel about them lol not used to reading books where the asshole gets the girl. Kudos to the author for making me rage out on all the guys in these stories. Can’t stand any of the guys but some get redeemed in my eyes*
💜First person/Multi POV
💜OW/OM drama*
💜No cheating
💜FMC gets body-shamned
*OWD- club whores just stirring up crap, he only has eyes for Joy
*OMD- OM offers Joy a ride on his bike and they go out on a ‘date’. Atlas is very jealous and angry
Pretty sure Joy is my favorite FMC by this author, or at least so far! The fact that she was able to eviscerate (using her words…sadly) the Prez without any backlash says a lot lol Beard will never admit it but I think he is scared of Joy 😂 then again, I wouldn’t mess with the person serving me food either.
Thank God the first two books seemed to be a fluke as I liked this one. Atlas was just an idiot but he is totally redeemable and he proves himself worthy. The way he hugged the box of cookies she made him just 🥹

Atlas are one of my favourite characters among groveltohea books. Other in the same category are Case and Butcher.
He like her from the beginning, and he just being a dumbass. I love that the FMC are plus size, and the way she gained back her confidence ✋️ the angst are good, the grovels also good. She didnt make it easy on him, he need to gained back the right to even talk to her. He just there, patiently absorbing all her madness and just admit his mistake. Dude didnt remembered her birthday but remember what brand and type of knife that she want 😭❤️ i mean.. i dont even remember my own birthday so yeah i dont really care. And he just admit his fault when he laughing to their jokes of calling her fat, the way he make her love herself again in the mirror scene ❤️❤️ arghhh i love Atlas. He's one of the characters that deserve redemption!

Quick read on the back of another readers review.
I didn’t mind that the hero was a bit of potato at the start because I liked the heroine and hero.
Heroine had a back bone and didn’t just roll over and give in to the hero plus she had some goals / a life which she focused on.
As for mr hero he put in the work to get back with Joy.
IMO there’s no cheating - just stupid thought process by the hero. That being said - it takes two and I’m just glad I didn’t get a heroine that makes me want to barf.
Love me a good grovel, happy ending and a look into the future.

Atlas was an idiot but ended up being a lovable one. I just thought his reasoning for things he did and said were immature for a thirty year old man BUT he did make up for it.
LOVE Joy. She was great and definitely made him work for it. She was funny too!!

Another MC based book, but this authors characters are so good. Of course everything is not as it seems, but the plot twists and turns unravel so you are gripped by these grovel to HEA. Love them all.
March 21, 2025
I started to loose a bit of interest in the series with this one, whether because the formula began to feel repetitive or because I wasn’t that keen on the MMC on this one or maybe both.
But the FMC in this one was great, and that was enough to keep me interested.

H is dumb and a lot clueless and his actions hurt h a lot. I liked the grovel but him putting ow before h even though it was only to protect her made me so mad.
Safety- No virgins, no cheating. There's both ow and om drama.

Atlas is probably one of my favourite men written by this author.

I mean, except for this.
For this I bought the premium membership.
With the premium membership I'm obsessing over this author's work like it's my job.

Beautiful books .. besides the part where atlas messes up with our girl! But he fights to the death to make it up to her and I feel like he was truly redeemed by the end!

Short, sweet, emotional. What I loved most was the timing. The resolution wasn’t instant. The grovel took time. The hard conversations took place. Very relatable.
