Sent to a Fantasy World and Now All the Men Want Me: Volume 3
Dream cafe: check.Being loved by three amazing men: check.
Life in Bremloc has been incredible for Evan. I mean, if you forget about the whole being "Evan-napped by a mysterious but gorgeous thief with dark magic" thing. Oh, and how that annoying magician Lupin popped up to reveal a massive secret and then vanished again like the jerk he is.
But still. Life is great.
When Evan gets the opportunity to travel to another city in the hopes of opening a second cafe, he thinks life can't get any better. There's just a few minor... inconveniences. Like tension rising with a warring kingdom. Oh, and the truth about his true identity.
Love can conquer all, though, right?
*This is Book 3 in the series and must be read in order.*

i did a reread of the first two books in the past few days to solve the mysteries and the only thing i found out is that i’m fucking dumb.
however, after reading this, i can confidently say that i’m only mildly dumb. sometimes even a genius.
jaclyn, let’s write fast okay?🥰

Aww... I love being back with Evan and his men. I love seeing his captain, physician, wolf, and thief interact while protecting and loving Evan. They all are so different but offer something unique and special. The growing bonds and love between Maddox, Briar, and Lake are also wonderful to see the depth and sincerity between the three as they love and protect Evan.
This series has such heart while offering great moments of levity and hilarity. I enjoyed getting more answers to Evan's backstory while leaving so many unanswered questions at the same time. Evan's harem is growing and I loved getting more interactions between the new members.
It was fun getting more of Rowan, he is the most mysterious of Evan's suitors while offering something unique of his own. I was particularly impressed with Callum's growing presence in Evan's life. He has been a reliable knight and support system since the beginning, but his role is expanded and gives many insights into his feelings, which I cannot wait to see explored further.
Overall this is another wonderful addition to the series. This series is total comfort food and could not have come at a better time. I love this series and cannot wait for the next one!!!

I want to live with Evan and his men forever. In this book we get more of my fav rogue, the elusive thief Rowan. Not that Maddox Briar and Lake are happy, but whatever Evan wants, he gets. And Rowan is a morally grey baby who needs love even if he doesn't know what to do with his feelings. We also travel away from Bremloc to where Mum Cynthia lived and we get to learn more about it. This is pure cosy cottagecore romantasy and I just love it so much. The positive feelings and emotions just made my week. Also, what is going in with cinnamon roll Cal? And could Ban be cuter?
I can't wait for the next fix, I mean, book.

I forget how cozy this series is!! I love Evan and all his men! Rowan was a cute edition to the harem!

I could read infinite books with these characters. also there's one character I feel will become a love interest but I could be wrong. I hope I'm right though lol.

I absolutely love this series! Evan is just too cute for this world and seeing him interact with his men is just a joy. He's got such different relationships with them all, but they're so loving, so genuine and adorable! As always, it's great to see these relationships grow, not just Evan's relationship with each man, but to see the men's relationships with each other grow is lovely, as well. I was happy that, for Rowan's time with Evan, it was mostly one-on-one. He seems like the type to need that intimacy in private, not unlike Lake. Rowan's got trust issues, had a rough upbringing (which we learned a bit about) and is slow to allow anyone close to his heart. Though it seems, as with the rest of his guys, Rowan's making an exception with Evan. I was also happy to see Lupin again, though I know that tends to mean something heart-wrenching for Evan and this time was no different. Evan got more insight into his past, into who he is, where he came from, and I don't doubt it'll come up and be an issue in the future.
Again, I absolutely love this. I cannot WAIT for the next book (Not out until February *sobs*) and highly recommend it!
*points off for some spelling and grammatical errors (Miners became minors and then back to miners again. This took me briefly out of the story and I do not like that!.
reread 3/24/25: Yeah, I bumped it up to 5 stars despite the errors pointed out above. I absolutely love Rowan and his part of the story was a joy to read. While I love all four of Evan's guys, I have a soft spot for Lake and Rowan and liked that this book--at least a good portion of it--was focused on Evan's relationship with Lake and Rowan. Lake's just so damn sweet and cuddly and Rowan's a smartass with a vulnerable side. Really and truly, I absolutely love this series so very much.
Ooh, also! Points got brought back also because, and I keep forgetting to mention it, I am greatly appreciative of how the author works in a summary of what happened in the previous books. While I didn't need it this time, as I'm rereading the entire series back-to-back, I do appreciate it when there's a significant time between releases. It is most definitely helpful to get a reminder of what happened when last we were in this wonderful world! And, personally, I think she does it well. So yay!
Still highly recommend! Evan's so darn cute, his lovers are devoted and, though they're very different personalities, it's so very obvious they love their boy, the side characters add to the story (Finnian and Ban--ahh, Ban and the flower!!--are my favorites added in this one) and, while a big portion is devoted to Evan and his lovers, there are other storylines that aren't overwhelming and add, like war possibly coming, the demon lord seemingly getting bolder in his attacks, and, of course, finding out more of Evan's past.
Seriously, I can't get enough of this series!

this series is so damn fun. and i love debriefing with martina afterwards and discussing our theories. i wish jaclyn would release a new book of this series daily and never stop

Oh Evan!! I love our little muffin lord so very much! I didn’t get a chance to read this story yet so as soon as I found out the audio was released I started it the next day! This series is absolutely wonderful when you’re looking for a funny, easy, steamy read!
We got to see more of Lake and Rowan in this story and I was so happy about that. I love Rowan so much. Especially with how grumpy he is on the outside but sweet on the inside! I was not prepared for the story to end. I definitely recommend this story if you enjoy reverse harems, funny characters, fantasy and a series that follows the same characters!

Gods February is too fucking long!!!
I want boyfriends and I want my boyfriends to get along with each other!!
I wished this has like 600 pages there isn't enough time to spend with them I love all of their personality and individuality I honestly can't wait for the next...
Evan has chemistry with literally every men he met in this book you'll never know which one of them will get snatched into his harem, that title might came true after all.
Also I love Lupin he's the most reliable system in isekai book ever.

I was a woman possessed. I spent about 80 percent of my time talking about the Muffin Lord. And the other 20 percent of the time, I was praying for someone else to bring him up so I could talk about him more.
LISTEN. I HAVE FALLEN FOR EVAN. I WANT TO BE ONE OF HIS MILLION BOYFRIENDS. 🐀🐀🐀🐀🐀
I'm invested in all these men. I love them I want more of them. I also need a diagram on how all these cuddling is working.
Character descriptions does get a little repetitive. I know Evan has 4 men in this book but how many times do I need to read "He pulled his hair up in a golden cuff" to understand we are talking about Rowan?
Pleasantly surprised by the story a lot more heart than I was expecting. Lupin's vision of the bad future got me a little emotional. Excited to see who the rest of these men are. I started the 4th book before I even wrote this review because I AM HUNGRY FOR MUFFINS.
I'm already fan casting them as Sailor Moon characters. Evan is obvs Sailor Moon.

4.5/5. I just love this so much, okay? It’s immaculate in both vibes and energy and I’m so invested it’s not even funny. I’m going to riot over Ban, I can feel it in my fucking essence.

Still obsessed with this series and if you need a complaint, my only one is the lack of Kuya material in this book. He is the cutest thing since the dawn of existence.

This books truly are the silliest but I adore them. Excited for the next one and more of Evan’s tale!
July 24, 2024
I liked that we finally got to the more of Rowan - who is becoming my favorite of Evan’s men, and learn about Evan’s parents.
In line with my review of book 2, Maddox is getting the least likeable of Evan’s men. I don’t like how he treats Evan as someone too stupid to be his equal. The scene with Isabel, for example, could have been avoided if he simply had told him who she was instead of letting her imply they had something together. He didn’t even realize how it hurt Evan until he noticed he was quiet and walking away to explain. It shouldn’t have to happen. The second Isabel flirty said she would take his payment whatever way, he should have cut her off and told Evan right there. He says he loves Evan and can’t live without him, but his ultramacho possessive behaviour is tiring.
35%: Why are you protecting him?” Maddox roared. “Have you forgotten what he did to you? You met with him, and you’re not even wearing your damned protection stone. By the gods, Evan, I wonder sometimes if you have any sense of self-preservation at all.”
I shrunk back from his anger. “I’m sorry.”
Why are putting up with this, Evan? I don’t care how much Maddox loves you, but treating you like a subordinate who doesn’t know any better shouldn’t be acceptable. Shame on Briar and Lake for not saying anything and kudos to Rowan who put him in place. And then, RIGHT AFTER this, Maddox keeps with his assholery by saying this infuriating piece:
36%: “Run along to the kitchen and cook to your adorable heart’s content while he and I have a chat.”
If my husband said that to me, he would deeply regret that.
Briar, poor Briar, sounded a bit off in this book. His part was so minimal and I missed seeing him more.
Lake was less standoffish and is warming up Briar and Maddox. He is more comfortable with them being together and just wanted him to be able to be out and about with the others.
Rowan showed as a quite interesting character, with many layers and a much better understanding of Evan than Maddox or Briar. He’s observant, and notice the people around him, despite saying he doesn’t care for others. His comments about Callum were on point even with Evan being so oblivious. Finding he’s a bottom was interesting because it gave Evan an chance to switch roles but also made me think that none of the other men ever considered him to be a top - again with the preconceived notions on what to Evan is supposed to be/do.
Still, his “test” on Evan when he took the barmaid note and said he would go to her later was disgusting. The only thing he accomplished was hurting Evan’s feelings right after saying how much Evan was important to him. I wished Evan would let him grovel a bit more after that. Despite that I liked how Rowan and Lake bonded - of sorts - during this trip. Lake seemed to warm up to Rowan faster than he did to Maddox and Briar.
The one thing it’s driving me nuts is how often it’s mentioned that Evan is clumsy. The poor guy can’t walk ten steps without tripping. And yet this was mentioned hundred times. I know he is clumsy and will trip on himself, I don’t need to read that every other page though.
I’m curious to see what will happen with Callum as it’s obvious he will the next to be snatched by Evan. He is a literal cinnamon roll.
Since our wandering sorcerer mentioned 2 or 3 more men to the harem, my suspicions are on him and Lord Onyx, based on his behaviour in the previous book. As for the final one, I have a few guesses.

3.5⭐️. I really do love these books but I’m getting to the point where I’m wishing for some real movement with the plot. Every book we get like one new piece of information that leaves a hundred questions and I’m kinda just ready for some stuff to start happening. That being said, I really liked how we got to see the relationship develop between Evan and Rowan in this book. I really like them together and Rowan is a fun character to add to this group. Callum being hinted at as one of Evan’s love interests was honestly a shock to me. I really did not see it coming. Since there’s now gonna be like seven of them I think the three we’re missing are Callum, Ban and Onyx. I’m still really hoping she doesn’t have Onyx be one of them cause that’s pretty lame and predictable but we’ll see. I totally guessed Evan being of royal blood so it was pretty awesome to see myself being right about that. I missed Briar and Maddox in the second half of the book but was glad Lake got more time. It was still good but I’m hoping the next book has some progress with the plot.

Wow 🤩 I was right all along…
Back in book 1 we learn Evan is actually Evander & the current world he lived in wasn’t his actual home. Continuing through books 2 & now 3 we not only get to know characters better we also learn why Evan was taken from Bremloc or rather the world it’s in & I love when the plot gives enough easter eggs to get my brain thinking a certain way & it turns that I’m right! I’m generally one to be dissuaded from finishing said book or series especially if the writing grabs me like this series has & having learned what we did of Evan’s parentage, I cannot wait to start book 4 & see how the author wraps up this story and the over arching plot line.

I don't care how silly the concept is. I love this series. It is such a comfort read to me. I loved seeing Lake growing more comfortable with Maddox and Briar. This book definitely centers around man number 4, Rowan, and getting to know him. He is really different from all the other men.
I'm glad we're getting more plot and more information about Evan's backstory. We also jumped to 7 men! I think it's pretty obvious who one of them will be. I'm hoping Ban is another. I love the strong, silent marshmallow type.

I like this sweet and cute Evan series, but honestly this one wasn't very exciting ...
And it's not like this "Secret" couldn't be seen a mile away.

🧠 **ADHD Chokehold Scale: 4.5/6 - Locked In to In a Chokehold**
Okay.
**THE LORE IS LORING.**
😂
Remember Volume 1?
Sweet little Evan wished for somewhere he belonged and woke up in a magical fantasy world where gorgeous men started falling at his feet.
And I happily put on my Cozy Fantasy Blinders™ and thought:
*"Okay. None of this makes much sense, but SHUT UP, KENDALL. WE'RE HAVING FUN."*
Then Volume 2 happened.
And I realized...
Oh.
**OH.**
Maybe some of this isn't as convenient as I thought.
Now Volume 3 is over here dropping information about Evan's past, his parents, his identity, and this entire world, and suddenly I'm sitting up like:
**WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?!**
This series has pulled the ultimate bait and switch on me.
It lured me in with:
☕ Cozy cafés.
📚 Books.
🐱 Cake-loving cat boys.
⚔️ Hot knights.
🔥 Spice.
❤️ Why choose.
Then once I was comfortable, Jaclyn Osborn started quietly sliding an actual fantasy plot underneath everything.
AND I LOVE IT.
This volume also lets us explore more of the world when Evan travels to another kingdom with hopes of opening a second café.
I loved the journey.
I loved learning more about the world.
I loved watching pieces of Evan's history start falling into place.
And then...
**ROWAN.**
Sir.
Welcome to the relationship.
😂
I really enjoyed watching Evan and Rowan finally get the opportunity to truly bond during the trip.
One of my favorite things about this series is when Evan gets individual time with his men. With a relationship that's getting increasingly large, I need those moments. I want to understand why Evan loves each individual man and why each man loves *him*.
Those quieter one-on-one scenes help make the entire relationship work for me.
And now we have boyfriend number four.
At this point, Evan isn't building a why-choose relationship.
He's assembling a fantasy-romance Avengers team.
And apparently we're STILL NOT DONE.
😂
Volume 2 remains my favorite so far, but I am completely invested in this series now.
The mystery is growing.
The world is expanding.
Evan is learning more about himself.
The men keep multiplying.
And I am happily along for the ride.

This is the third book in the series and should be read in order.
Evan and his men always give me a shot of much needed happiness.
Evan is offered an opportunity for a second cafe and the book mainly revolves around travelling there and setting up the new cafe. I was sad that Maddox and Briar had to stay behind for their jobs (don’t worry we do still see them), but it was necessary for other characters to shine and evolve their relationship with Evan. Travelling out of Bremloc also allowed Jaclyn Osborn to flex her imagination and expand the world building.
Evan travels with Lake (who has to hide), Rowan, Callum, Duke and three new characters (one who is SPECIAL, one who is nice and one who is horrible). I feel fully cemented that I know Evan, Briar and Maddox and quite a few other characters like Sawyer and Kuya really well and they feel like friends at this point. I enjoyed learning more about Rowan and his backstory is so sad. Lake is so precious and must be protected at all costs; I loved seeing him integrate into Evan’s ‘harem’. Evan’s men and him have become a little family in a big family of amazing side characters. They bring me so much joy and an overwhelming feeling of love.
I was right about my theory! However, a wonderful addition to this series managed to take me by surprise.
I still have so many questions! I’m so excited to see more of Evan’s men and him coming together and for his men to find out what Evan learned!
This series has a very special place in my heart and I can’t wait for more! I am hoping for this series to never end and get all the answers I need at the same time, also hoping for many side character stories such as Kuya and Sawyer & Duke and Baden.

This is the third book in the series and should be read in order.
Evan and his men always give me a shot of much needed happiness.
Evan is offered an opportunity for a second cafe and the book mainly revolves around travelling there and setting up the new cafe. I was sad that Maddox and Briar had to stay behind for their jobs (don’t worry we do still see them), but it was necessary for other characters to shine and evolve their relationship with Evan. Travelling out of Bremloc also allowed Jaclyn Osborn to flex her imagination and expand the world building.
Evan travels with Lake (who has to hide), Rowan, Callum, Duke and three new characters (one who is SPECIAL, one who is nice and one who is horrible). I feel fully cemented that I know Evan, Briar and Maddox and quite a few other characters like Sawyer and Kuya really well and they feel like friends at this point. I enjoyed learning more about Rowan and his backstory is so sad. Lake is so precious and must be protected at all costs; I loved seeing him integrate into Evan’s ‘harem’. Evan’s men and him have become a little family in a big family of amazing side characters. They bring me so much joy and an overwhelming feeling of love.

The world of Bremloc is fast becoming one of my favorite settings, and the dynamic between Evan, the Muffin Lord, and his men is part of that magic.
One of the things that works well for me is the balance Evan has with each member of his harem. Each interaction sparks something different, something interesting. It was wonderful seeing Rowan, the difficulty he had coming out of his shell, and the way he began integrating himself with the group (mainly Lake and Evan). I have a few feelings about what might happen between Rowan and Maddox in the future, and can only imagine what Rowan will be like with Briar. I have a feeling about who the next man to join the collective/harem/group will be, and can't wait to see if I am correct. If I am...the rave in the next book in this series will not be contained. Also, even with the building external pressures, this is a smaller story, focused on one person trying to make his own way. It's the best sort of cozy fantasy.
Another thing that worked for me was the reveal of Evan's identity, hinted at in the previous book. While I had some thoughts, the reveal itself was very well done. We can only imagine what this will mean for the Muffin Lord and his men and see how they react to it. Rowan, the wild card, may yet surprise us, but I have a feeling Osborn won't do that. At least I hope she won't. If she does and carries it off though...well cue excited reader face.
Were there times where the dialogue got a little saccharine for my taste? Yes. Were there a few scenes that were very by-the-beat romance? Yes. Were there times where I hoped for certain scenes that weren't delivered? Oh, heaven yes. Was Lupin, the wizard, just a giant exposition dump? Yup. However, that doesn't mean I wasn't enjoying every step of the journey in Bremloc.
I now face the question on if I wait for the end of the series to be released before I binge the next titles or if I swallow the bullet and wait.

I loved getting back to Evan and his men and was so immensely sad when I was done reading and didn’t have another book to immediately start afterwards. I loved the direction this book took. Maddox and Briar have been such huge presences in Evan’s life from the beginning and I loved that Lake kinda took the lead in watching over him and that he was included more. Rowan was different from all the other men in so many ways I loved that struggle even though I just wanted to go back and love that little lost boy. All the men blend so perfectly together and it was fun getting to reveal all the secrets we kinda already knew.
Now for the reason I said this had spoilers. Let’s talk about the addition of some love interests! I always thought Callum would be a part of the harem, but he was friend zoned so I kinda let it go. I’m loving that he will be apart of Evan’s men. I’m so curious how this is going to play out and look forward to watching them discover and explore their feelings for each other. I also always thought the demon lord would be the one to either kill him or love him and that’s still on the table. I have some feelers out for that potential seventh man, but not sure—Ban? Sir Noah? So many possibilities. I am so ready for more and just hope we don’t have to wait too long.

This is truly the sweetest, dumbest series I've ever read...and I'm hooked. I need more, seriously, or I'll die. The thing with this one (and the reason why I gave it 3 stars when the others are 4) it's that it felt more as edging for the next instalment than a real book. Sure, we learn some fun things, such as or . But, at the end, it felt like an episode from a rom-com in the middle of the season. Not much happens. Not many steamy scenes, when compared to the other three, but it's good enough for me. Anyway, it feels like this gig is not published fast enough for my poor heart to resist it. I demand more, and I want it RIGHT NOW. I know it's not top notch literature, but who cares? It's fun, it's tender and perfect for those of us who are hopeless romantics with no intention of changing. For all my gals and gays who yearn to have an harem of men at their disposal, this one's for you.

Honestly, this was a delight.
The romance is great, the spice doesn't overtake the plot and I appreciate that each relationship between Evan and each man PLUS the different men between each other actually takes time to develop. Like Evan I'm a littleeee nervous about the number upping from five to probably six (maybe seven) but I'm also glad that the vibes I was sensing were right even when the math wasn't matching
The plot line itself is also just enjoyable I adore the slice of life/cozy elements that are featured with the café yet the overarching plot has a fair amount of intrigue and future high stakes. So far a lot of my plot guesses have been correct and rather than it feeling predictable I'm excited to see exactly HOW the author will get to each of the things I think are coming.
I had originally read the first 2 books in 2023 and then fell off the series as I waited for the release of book 3, I decided to start from the beginning via audiobooks, which is something new I started this year, and honestly I'd definitely reccomend going that way. The narrator really does a fantastic job at different the many, many male voiced involved.

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOO I DIDN'T WANT IT TO ENDDDDDD
Rowan, I love you. Ughhhh! I was already a goner for Maddox and the author pulled out a morally gray character with a tragic past and a magnificent sense of sarcasm- how can I resist? This checks every box!
GOD I love this series. I really do! It's just so cosy, so cute... The plot thickens though and I'm PRAYING for a happily ever after (please don't break my heart).
What can I say? Evan is stupid, Callum is also stupid and Ban is the cutest baby oger ever. Lake is Lake, as perfect as one can be and Rowan is officially my favorite character. I LOVE reading about Evan's little café adventures (they're so cosy, please) and I'm proud to say that HAHAAAAA I PREDICTED WHO EVAN'S FATHER WAS SINCE BOOK ONE, I'M ON FIRE! (I was like "imagine how hilarious it would be if– and then... Yeah.)
“I don’t ever want to leave your side, but one day, you’ll come to your senses and see how wrong I am for you. And then, you really will destroy me.”

I’ve never read a book like this series before and I absolutely love it! I love all the characters especially Evan & Kuya ❤️ this series is such a comfort read for me I love everything about it! Evan is on his next adventure but had to leave behind Maddox and Briar, even though he’s only leaving for a month I cried during his farewell, Maddox stepping after the carriage, stop 😭 But so happy we finally got to see more of Rowan and learn about his past which also made me cry! We also learn soooo much more about Evans family! And a possible new future and 2 new men! I’m so excited to read the next however many books (hoping for as many as possible) I just love this series, the writing is incredible and I always read the books in one sitting ❤️ p.s. I need more Kuya content 🤣❤️
