Double Reverse

DoubleVerse #1

by Bridget Hale

In the shadowy depths of an old cemetery, Dabria Devereaux embarks on a solo journey, seeking the thrill of haunted mysteries. Little does she know, the sultry Southern night will take a turn as she becomes the unsuspecting target of a dangerous game. Five dark, tatted enigmas, hotter than the Savannah sun, whisk her away, revealing a chilling truth. As the tension rises and passions ignite, Dabria finds herself entangled in a seductive dance between danger and desire. Her saviors, a team of highly skilled security experts, ignite a fiery adventure, where the line between peril and pleasure blurs in the moonlit embrace of Savannah's secrets. Will Dabria succumb to the allure of the forbidden, or will her heart and survival instincts guide her through the haunting shadows of love and danger?

3.5⭐️ this was a very quick 61 page novella of spicy smut……can you say 5 guys 1 girl
This unhinged book isn’t about the plot it is about the smuttiness so if that is what you’re looking for definitely get this on your TBR like yesterday
Good starter for those wanting to wade in the smut pool

3.5⭐️ ALL spice, little plot. A quick and easy novella. Don’t read this if you aren’t looking for unhinged spice.

Lord have Mercy on my very sinful soul right now…. Good grief and all things holy if I could give this book infinite stars I most certainly would have.

Firstly… these men are absolutely the best I have ever read about. They are gorgeous and the absolute protective mentality over Dabria was intoxicating.

Loved the reverse harem and absolutely adored the reverse age gap! OMG I loved the fact that she was a more mature woman. I feel like we don’t see enough older women getting saucy in books and this has just made me incredibly happy.

I loved all 5 men but I have to say that Echo and Alpha were my favorite. Tango really grew on me with his silent but oh so violently spicy behavior.

THIS BOOK WAS NOT LONG ENOUGH!!! I need more!!!!

Well done to this amazing author. Your writing was so amazing and your talent for storytelling is incredible. You hit the spice just right and still maintained a very good plot.

Will definitely be recommending this all over to everyone.

Oh and I was also one of the girls holding my fingers together in a circle to see how big it is if your fingertips can’t touch 😏😉

LOVED LOVED LOVED!!!

I honestly wonder if they played twister or had sex lol? In my opinion, three positions for one spicy scene is more than enough!! 🙃

Anyway, I liked it. Quite. But it didn't impress me enough to even write a long review.🤷‍♀️
Unfortunately it wasn’t special or unique by anything and the fact there is five men and one women… Yep, I’ve read that before already. 6/10.


P.S.- But on the other side I would recommend this book to readers who are just getting started with the "dark romance" genre. I'm sure they will love it.💯
I'm just... Too long immersed in the "horror erotica" genre.🤪

Her friend was supposed to come with her on her trip but couldn’t at the last minute so she had to go alone. This is a very short read. And mainly all spice. Not much plot in this one but this is book one in a series so maybe the rest of the story will play out in the other books.

Great Debut

Very fun read for a first novella debut! The story was easy to follow along and the spice was yummy. Excited to see if a story comes out to give us some more back story!

[Kikicanadianchick kikicanadianchick · Rating 5 out of 5]

Al I can say is WOW! from the second page I was hooked. I need more of the pizza… ALL of the pizza! i cannot wait for more, I feel like I need to know more.

[bookedonmechelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

a quick read but WORTH IT

You want spice? Then spice on top of spice? This is the book for you! Read it in one sitting and it was phenomenal! And so spicy 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

[Cheree Akers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg please tell me there’s more to be written the spice on this is 5 and the story even had me wrapped up I loved this quick read

[Sonia Odum · Rating 4 out of 5]

Where...do...I...start?!

This is now my new FAVORITE novella! It was absolutely SPICY!

This is a reverse harem and reverse age gap, which brings that meaning to the title! It is sexi and spicy with 5 glorious men. This is my wildest dream 🥵🤣.

I love how the FMC quickly accepts her feelings for all 5 men. Usually, it takes a while, but she wanted them from the first time she saw each and every one of them!

The story kept me drawn in the ENTIRE time! I was so sad when it ended. My only complaint... It wasn't long enough!

Bridget, I NEED more! 😍

4.5 Stars

I was lucky enough to be one of Bridget Hale's ARC readers and boy oh boy was this a very spicy book!! 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Dabria was hoping to have a girl's getaway with her bestie but things changed... While on a tour through a cemetery she gets separated from the group and 5 men show up to protect her. Why choose 1 man when you can have 5?

Tropes:
- Reverse Harem
- Why Choose
- Curvy FMC
- Dominate MMC's

Triggers:
- Explicit Detailed Sexual Content with multiple partners
- Mild Violent

[Elizabeth Allison · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely one phenomenal read! From the 1st page of this book I was engrossed and entangled in the FMC and story! That spice! That Plot! One of my BEST reads of 2024! Author Bridget Hale did a Fantastic job with this book, and I can NOT wait for her next book!

[Maddiereads24 · Rating 5 out of 5]

For this being a first book of Bridget Hales ugh I couldn’t tell! It was AMAZING! It takes place in a cemetery in Savannah Georgia! Being from Georgia and having visited Savannah many times throughout my life and now residing in Tennessee the way Bridget describes the cemetery it was like I was right back there walking under the Spanish moss taking in the history! The FMC Dabria (Little Death Angel) is sassy and down right hilarious to me anyways! I loved her inner thoughts! This book had me highlighting left and right also! The MMC isn’t one man it’s FIVE: Tango,Alpha, Echo, Romeo, and Whiskey! I really liked how Bridget gave each man a distinct scent! I thought that was really cool and unique! But the big wow factor of this book is the spice! For me five chili peppers!!! Oh did I mention they are masked men, which is the first book I’ve read with them! I can not wait to read future books of Bridget’s she is definitely going to be big!!

[Molly · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you are in the mood for a fast-paced spicy reverse harem novella, you have come to the right place. In this debut novella by Bridget Hale, five masked/tatted/pierced men ravage our FMC on an altar in the cemetary ...does it need more plot than that? NOPE! Loved it. 5 stars...one for each man 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

[Chrissy Ivy · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was lucky to be chosen as an arc on this one- ❤️

“Content Warning: This is five meat (men) pizza porn…   you've been warned…”

Books with playlist always get bonus points for me😍

This was a spicy why chose reverse harem. High profile divorce turned hit man turned bodyguards turn graveyard orgy? 🤭 I’m BLUSHING. This isn’t my usual content but for what it is it’s well written and I zoomed through this read.

[Marley Ghostfern · Rating 4 out of 5]

I feel 💀fckd by this novella. It was short and very fast paced. Fast as in wtf? How did we end up there?!?! Great for readers who are looking for a very quick and very spicy RH read with one woman and 5 masked men. I honestly don't know what else to say about it.

FMMMMM 🌽
that's it. That's the review.
⭐️⭐️⭐️.💫

✨ARC✨

Well hot diggity dog 🙈
Masked men in a graveyard. Need I say more, really?
It was hot, it was well written, characters set up, and the spice was spicing!
This was set up for more so well, & I can’t wait for it 😉

[Sania Aziz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Arc review: Omg! 😱 I’m literally speechless! This book was so interesting and it had a pretty good plot and 🌶️ for a novella. I was expecting something short and easy but this book was way better than expected. I do wish that we got more about the 5 guys at the end cause we only see tango but other than that it’s amazing🥰

[Jenn Z · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! Just wow 😯

The dedication should be clue enough to how this story will go. The tension between the mfc and her 5 big tattooed men is just dripping out of the pages. Miss mam I’m gonna need you to write more I was hooked from the dedication page!

[Saharah Vanvalkenburgh · Rating 5 out of 5]

Double Reverse

This little novella packs a punch, so much happened so quickly. It is perfect and gives you all the feels.it may me want more to read. I'm glad to have book 2 out all ready.

[probablyonmykindle]

This book was 😮‍💨 If you’re looking for a why choose with good spice and a setting out of the norm… read this one!

[Jessica Wolfe · Rating 4 out of 5]

Holy moly spice

[Julie Longley Gillen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Spicy with a good plot!

Double Reverse was a very good novella. It's most definitely 18+ very very spicy! 🌶🌶 I'm excited to start the next book as an ARC!

[Ashley · Rating 3 out of 5]

That escalated quickly and was not at all what I’d been expecting considering it had been a booktok recommendation… Sooooo there’s that.

[Nikolina · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dang…

[Stephanie Lutz · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a short, quick but SPICY read! It was a great story! An easy read! I couldn't put it down!

[Lilly Cee · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you're looking for a quick, spicy read, this one is for you. And the locations of some of my favorite places, including the cemetery, were icing on this tasty cake.

[Nicole Bond · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is not a book, it’s atrocious. Sad part is the story could be good if it was like an actual story but it’s not.. it’s by far the worst book that booktok has made me read. I don’t think I’ll continue this series, but if I could give it zero stars I would.

There is no plot, just spice. Only spice. This isn’t for me.

[Destiny Zabel · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a spice cupcake with one singular plot sprinkle. And it is so good devoured highly recommend for a quick easy gets down to the dirty read. With that said I need more. I need a story for each one of these men please and thank you.

[Kristens_korner · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh my, all the yummiest you could want and more. It's no lie when I say I was stripping clothes off. The spice in this book was fantastic. It's a short, quick read that leaves you yearning for more. Only, I personally didn't care so much for the setting, but that's just me. I can't wait to read more of her books, though, and see where she takes these characters.
