A new steamy workplace age gap why choose romcom standalone!

I didn’t plan on working for one grumpy boss, let alone three. And I sure as heck didn’t plan on selling them my virginity.

Wyatt Ellis, Brantley Ellis and Maverick Wallace are just as pretentious as their names sound. Who cares if they’re gorgeous billionaires. They are the literal worst.

Between the long hours, the snippy comments, and the last minute requests you’d think even one of them would get my name right. Nope. They’re infuriating. Insufferable. Overbearing.

Unfortunately I need this job.

Especially after an unexpected expense, makes me desperate and I need to look at getting some cash and quick but there’s only one thing I have worth selling. My V-card.

I really shouldn’t have had the auction site open on my company computer and I definitely should’ve left the hotel room when I realized who the highest bidders were.

But I didn’t and now they want more. Too bad for them my heart isn’t for sale.

What to expect in #Bossholes…

*Three Grumpy Heroes
*Sunshine Heroine
*Opposites Attract
*Enemies to Lovers
*Online Auction (wink)

I so badly wanted to like this, but it just wasn't for me. The female main character was okay she was bearable and, for the most part, inspiring and somewhat relatable no backbone tho like she must've been born with the most severe case of scoliosis because girlypop was CRAWLING through life while simultaneously doing the entirety of the redhaired nation a diservice with how spineless she was. The only thing that should have that lack of spine is the boneless wings i order with my pizza. Sorry, Ed Sheeran, you deserve better ginger representation man! The male main characters, however, were a disappointment. All three of them were like copy and pasted versions of each other but with a little bit of a font change. It was a testosterone overload, and if any one of those men were ever in an enclosed space with me, I'd shout fire and get the hell out of there. ALSO, HR WHO? where these people at? like they just did not exist. And not to be that person, but if we're being technical about it, multiple employment violations occurred on her first day. Not only did she have little to no qualifications, but nobody explained her role to her either. Basic Conditions of Employment Act just thrown out the window, huh? (Okay, to be fair, that is a little niche because that's a South African specific act, so actually not the authors fault I'm being an asshole ) but nonetheless we could've improved on that aspect a little even women in fictional work settings deserve fair and just employment practices. Feminisms biggest supporter right here 🙋🏾‍♀️

The timeine made absolutely no sense, like how was girly sleeping with them one day, and then the next, she moved in?? I'm sorry, but I would've preferred something a tad bit more realistic. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for a little smut scene here and there as long as a good plot line is maintained. A good plot line was not maintained. The ending was incredibly rushed, and they randomly added two characters towards the end to give the book some momentum, but it made absolutely no sense. A third act breakup was not needed, and neither was the conflict created to cause said breakup.

Ultimately, this was disappointing and not something I'd recommend to someone who I considered a friend. I do have to mention, though, that I did go into this book a little biased because I've never been a fan of why - choose (more than one man is a hostage situation), so take this review with a grain of salt. If you liked this book, I'm happy for you truly, 2 hours of your life meant something, whereas mine just withered away, never to be seen again. The writing was definitely uhm writing yk, and she was very descriptive, so kudos on that actually 🙌. I'll definitely give one of the authors' other books a shot because this particular one just did not hit the mark for me 😔.

Last little moment of my rant I promise - and this is no hate to the author but rather a PLEA (I'm begging you guys) to the literary world to stop making every damn fmc a virgin omfg and then the men are a free for all special that have never had their legs closed a day in their lives. like being 23 and a virgin is okay it's fairly normal, but when your bosses are buying your virginity and they're like 20 years older, it borderlines something a little creepy.

Thank you to Love Notes PR for the E-ARC and to the author herself for allowing me the opportunity to read this book. It takes a lot of hard work and guts to publish a book, and it's something I could never do, so I tip my hat to all the hardworking writers out there.

What a wonderful story, it had a lovely gentle pace as the characters get to know each other, with some tense angst fuel need for each other at the start. There are lots yummy spicy scenes both as a group and singularly. I loved the banter between the FMC and her men and with her girlfriends, had a few LOL moments which was great.

I really love that the brother wasn’t a forgotten side character, he was brought into the story and I loved that the men had a soft spot for him, even learning sign language to communicate 🥰(swoon moment!)

The ending had a bit of suspense where you wanted to slap sense into the men, but past history reared its ugly head! However it was all worth it in the end ❤️
This was a really great story overall and a thoroughly enjoyable read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kinsley dreamt of being a lawyer but whilst in law school her alcoholic parents died in a car accident, leaving Kinsley to look after her deaf little brother. She works hard to provide for them both as a legal secretary to mid level lawyers. But when her medical insurance denies her claim for her brother to have a cochlea implant, she’s at a complete loss as to what to do. After accidentally calling her boss a dementor or emotional vampire she expects to be fired, only to be offered a job working for said dementors!!!

However she needs money and when a suggested website comes up to sell her virginity, she takes the opportunity. It’s the only chance to get money for her brother’s op.
What she doesn’t expect is two of her extremely hot and sexy dementor bosses waiting in the bedroom!

Maverick's heart knew Kinsley the moment they met over cookies in the breakroom, when she unwittingly called him and his partners Dementors or emotional vampires!
There was no turning back for him. He couldn’t get her off his mind, so when the need for a new legal secretary comes up “AGAIN” she was the first person he thought of.

Twins Wyatt and Brantley, they couldn't be more different. Wyatt has golden retriever energy wrapped in a sharp suit - loyal, warm, and approachable. Brantley, on the other hand, starts off as a bit of a jerk, but as his story comes to light, his guarded nature makes perfect sense.

The men live for their job, working all hours as lawyers to the elite, especially with divorce. They are all very controlling and bossy, often reducing their secretaries to tears, especially the twins.

So when Maverick slyly suggests an experienced legal secretary from one of their department downstairs, after the latest secretary walked, Wyatt & Brantley go for it.

Except when they meet Kinsley for the first time they are all immediately drawn to her. When Wyatt accidentally comes across the website she was to auction of her virginity, he and Maverick decide to be the winning bidders. Brantley stoic as ever resists the temptation to join them, even if he desperately wants to.

Subsequently the auction brings about a longing for each other nobody can resist, it should have been a one night thing, but how can it when each of them feel a spark towards each other, a desperate need for more, even Brantley falls for the pull towards Kinsley, they just need to persuade her!

Their relationship is hot and heavy, with the need and pull to always be around each other. Together the four try to keep a professional relationship at work, although that doesn’t always go to plan 😉. As the time goes feeling turn to love and the hope for a wonderful future together.

However in the workplace jealously is around, which rocks and splinters their whole relationship. Trust and past betrayals are brought to light and the men now have to work hard to gain Kinsleys forgiveness and regain the future they all envisioned.

I love a good rom com, mix it with a why choose and I can’t get enough!

When her bosses accidentally find out their secretary is auctioning off her virginity they obvious think bidding on her to protect her is the best idea 🙄

But thank goodness they do because we end up with some high spice between the 4 mc’s.

Overall a great read.

4.5 stars!

This was just a completely delightful RH romance with no MM. Kinsley needs money for her brother’s upcoming surgery and decides to sell her virginity online (yeah yeah, suspend belief on this one). Her new bosses Wyatt, Brantley and Maverick find out about it and wellllll…the rest is history.

“You know, it all started when I caught her double fisting chocolate chip cookies⁠—”

“Don’t you say it.” His gaze meets mine, a smile tugging at his lips.

“It’s only fair she ends up double fisting us.”

“And you said it.”

“I sure did. She thinks we’re Dementors; just wait until we suck the soul from her body.”


Brantley isn’t completely on board because he’s been hurt in the past and is seriously jaded but he can’t help but want her. Wyatt and Maverick are all in and these three insert themselves into her life in the cutest ways. It wouldn’t be a workplace romance without that third act breakup and it’s a doozy. But these men know how to grovel. However, I do think Kins should have made them work a bit harder for her forgiveness.

Overall, a super fun and smutty read that I thoroughly enjoyed.

This book was soooo good!! I loved all 3 guys and I think Kinsley was the perfect FMC for them! I couldn’t put this book down and it gave me all the feels. Brantley was probably my favorite but Wyatt and Maverick were amazing too. I love the humor and how their relationship built. I loved her little brother and her book club girls too! It was just an amazing story and I definitely recommend it!!

2.5 stars , 3 spice
Kinsley & Maverick, Brantley, Wyatt

Warning: I wrote this immediately after finishing the book and my annoyance comes through very clearly 😅

This was sitting at a solid 3.5-4 stars for the first say two thirds right up until the whole misunderstanding shit and then I was done. This might genuinely be the first book Ive read that I actually didn’t want the MCs to end up together. Not only did they not trust her, or bother to ask any questions, they find out the truth and she forgives them in one damn conversation. Absolutely the fuck not. To work this would have needed a whole lot more grovelling, some actual work put in by the guys to earn her forgiveness, and believability that it was a one off. Their behaviour up until that point did nothing to support them being good partners, they were heavy handed, manipulative, and general dicks honestly. That shit only works when the guys are clearly obsessed from day one and/or it’s a dark romance - this was neither. Its marketed as a romcom, and the guys couldn’t give a shit about her beyond her being a hot virgin. Wyatt didn’t even know her name like two weeks into her being their secretary…


Additional thoughts next day:
Okay, I’ve calmed down a bit now, but nothing I said above has changed.
The FMC herself was alright enough, though she didn’t have much of a backbone. Not when her ex broke up with her, not when the guys were terrible bosses, and certainly not when they begged her forgiveness. Redeemingly she did stand up for herself when the accusations were thrown her way. I loved how much she cared for her brother and the lengths she’d go to make him sure he was safe and happy.

Okay, so the first half of this book really had me hooked—hot bossholes, twin brothers and their best friend, all hotshot lawyers, suddenly obsessed with their newly promoted legal secretary? Yeah, I was seated!! And when they find out she’s auctioning off her V-card to help pay for her little brother’s cochlear implant? Of course they go all in trying to win her and take care of her. I ate that setup up!!

The spice? Definitely there, and the beginning gave me all the RH tension I wanted. There were some seriously hot moments, and I loved the way each of the guys had their own flavor. But then... it kinda started losing me. Things got a little too insta-lovey, like they all fell for her within minutes of learning about the auction, even though they were literally jerks to her at work the day before. One of them goes full protective-Daddy mode day one and I was like…sir, what?

It also felt a bit off how the same guys who underestimated her just because she made her office cute are suddenly her biggest cheerleaders. And the emotional storyline with her deaf brother was supposed to add depth, but instead it started to feel rushed and a bit unrealistic—like the twins somehow learn fluent ASL in a week while working full time? That kinda took me out of it. Also, not loving the choice to throw in phrases like “fell on deaf ears” in a story where her brother’s hearing is such a central plot point…

So yeah, I really liked the vibe at the beginning, it was sexy and fun and had a setup I was excited about. But somewhere along the way, it just lost that magic for me. Still worth a read if you’re into a light, dirty office RH fantasy with a little heart but go in knowing it’s not super deep or fully fleshed out!!

This book was out of this world, in my opinion. I have been needing to read a why choose book that is office based for some time, and this book was the perfect fit. Everything was perfect, fun and unexpected!

I mean, first and foremost, our men, Wyatt Ellis, Brantley Ellis, and Maverick Wallace, the hot shot lawyers with their own firm together where it just so happens Kinsley has started working. Kinsley has a run-in with Maverick at a cookie station in the office and starts to completely insult the bosses unknowingly that he is one of them. The guys can not keep a secretary for the life of them, each one leaves crying or screaming it seems so when that happens again Maverick decides Kinsley would be a great fit.

Now Kinsley. I love that girl so much, everything she does is in the sake of other people just like selling the one thing she has kept a hold of for 23 years to the highest bidder to be able to pay for her brothers cochlear surgery. Honestly, heartwarming. It definitely does not help that her bosses had spotted her looking at the website that does the bidding and arranges the night, and 2 of them decide they will win Kinsley.

Everything was kind of a shock from that moment. Well, it certainly was for Kinsley. What was supposed to just be one night turns into so much more. They even give her an apartment because the place she is living in is too small for her and her brother.

I loved the connection that Kinsley found with the three guys. Nothing could have been more perfect and obviously to get to our desired HEA. Something bad has to happen, and what it was in this book mightly annoy me with how the guys "handled" it. But once it was all resolved, everything was fine again.

This was the first book I have read by Melissa, and what a first book to read. All I want and need are more of her books like this, and I am excited to see what she writes next!

Brutally honest review incoming.

In #Bossholes, we dive into the world of workplace romance with a "why choose" twist. The story follows Kinsley, the FMC, who ends up entangled with not 1, but 3 domineering bosses, two of whom are brothers. The plot combines steamy office dynamics, age-gap tension, and found family moments, all told through multiple POVs.

Unfortunately, this book wasn’t for me. I’m not sure if it was the genre or this particular story, but I often felt awkward and even a little embarrassed while reading it. Normally I fall for the MMCs in romance books, but this time, I just found them irritating. Maybe I should’ve seen it coming, but here we are!

To start, I didn’t connect with the FMC. She lacked depth and didn’t really stand her ground. And when it came to the three MMCs—Brantley, Maverick, and Wyatt—I honestly couldn’t tell them apart. They all looked, talked, and acted the same. The fact that two of them were brothers made some of the intimate scenes feel extra uncomfortable.

There were also quite a few unrealistic moments that bothered me. For example, Kinsley’s little brother is deaf, and somehow Brantley learns ASL in just two days? Then there’s the fact that after one night together, the characters sort of move in with each other the very next day. It all happened way too fast. It all just moved way too fast. And don’t even get me started on the two brothers openly discussing their solo habits…

That said, there were a few things I liked. I appreciated the multiple POVs, it made the story more dynamic. I also really enjoyed the book club scenes (no surprising there, haha). And although I thought about DNF-ing, I stuck with it because I wanted to see how it would all wrap up. The writing style itself was smooth and easy to read, which definitely helped.

In the end, #Bossholes wasn’t a hit for me, but hey, you can’t read a 5-star book every time. If you’re into "why choose" romances with an age gap and workplace setting, this book might be your vibe!

Thanks to Love Notes PR and the author for the ARC!

I was in the mood for a lighter read and a spicy RH was just what I was craving. I’ve had this one on my TBR for a while and decided to give it a go. You really have to suspend your belief and just enjoy this story for what it is: a few hours of lighthearted, filthy entertainment. I’ve read quite some RH books and to me it is important that the H’s are easily distinguishable. Unfortunately in this book only 1 H is truly different from the others and so I had to pay close attention to who was speaking / doing something to be able to follow along. Having said that, the guys were all wonderfully jerky at the beginning even though small actions already showed they cared for the h. The spice was definitely spicing! Phew!
All in all, not a book I will be re-reading but it made for an entertaining listen (audiobook)!

Safety:
- OW: one of the H’s was engaged before and she cheated on him. This made him closed off and made him easily condemn h when something happened.
- OM: multiple men flirt with h. The men get jealous easily 😏 A barista tries to give h number, one of the H’s gets jealous and takes care of it. (Before relation).
- No cheating within the harem.
- Third act break up. Hs didn’t trust h and accused her of something. When they figure out it wasn’t her, they need to grovel to win her back. All celibate during separation.

#BOSSHOLES is a why-choose, boss/employee office romance with an age gap (15 yrs) that has heart, spice and humor. Kinsley is a strong, intelligent and hilarious FMC. I want to be her friend and be a member of the Hot & Bothered Book Club. Their text exchanges were perfect. Kinsley needs money for her brother’s cochlear implant surgery. She gets an idea from book club, a virgin auction. She gets promoted at work, but even with the promotion she won’t have enough. When her three egotistical, rude, and unfairly hot bosses find out what she up to, they decide they’re going to bid and win. To say Kinsley is shocked to see two of her bosses, Maverick and Wyatt, in the hotel room is an understatement. Things heat up and the spice is HOT. Brantley waits until she begs him, which doesn’t take long and its scene you want in an office romance. Maverick, Wyatt, and Brantley want more and they fall fast and hard. At work, anything that can go wrong does for Kinsley creating tension and ultimately a huge blow up. Yes, there is a third act break-up with a miscommunication but you get peak groveling and a HEA. This was a great romcom with hot spice.

Thank you to Melissa Ivers and The Author Agency for the privilege to read an advanced copy of #BOSSHOLES.

Okay I had such a good time reading this! I don’t read many why choose romances as I prefer MMF⚔️ but this one was so good.

I loved all of the MMC’s and honestly don’t have a specific fave, which is quite rare for me! They were all different but great together. The group dynamic was so good—found family vibes🫶🏼

If you’re looking for a funny and spicy read, give this one a go.

I wonder if the other girls in the ‘hot and bothered book club’ will get books in the future👀

This book was exactly what you think it would be. Virgin female main character, Grumpy bosses, why choose. Technically floor is proximity because they all work together. Found family and more. It was so funny and it was so interesting. I loved the ending and honestly it was just worth the read. It was definitely a romcom.

Two words I have about #Bossholes… HOLY SHIT 😯😯😯
This book was HOT with a capital H! Kinsley was a spicy “firecracker” as Maverick calls her. The girl is truly living the dream of why choose between the hottest “dementor like” lawyers in her work. I read this book in one singular day and I can guarantee anyone who picks this book up will also devour it with the same energy I had. 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ spicy 🌶️ AF

This story follows Kinsley, who recently started a new job at a law firm on one of the lower floors of the building. After meeting and making friends at work, she hears about the bosses—described as soul-sucking dementors. One day, while reaching for a cookie in the communal kitchen, she meets a handsome man she hasn’t seen before. Little does she know, that brief conversation turns into nervous chatter and ends with her being offered a new secretary position… with the three bosses.

This was a fun why-choose romance. At times, I felt the pacing was a bit fast, especially with some of the choices and relationship developments happening quickly, but I still enjoyed the ride. The spice was great, and the storyline kept me engaged. I found myself laughing along with the characters. I loved Kinsley’s reasoning for participating in the auction and how she takes care of her brother.

We also get three delicious men, but Brantley stood out the most to me. I will say, though, there were a few things I personally found unrealistic—like how Brantley initially didn’t know any sign language when he met her younger brother, yet somehow learned quite a bit by their next interaction. Also, moving Kinsley out of her apartment so quickly felt a bit rushed.

Other than that, if you’re looking for something humorous, fun, and just a good time—pick this up!

This book was super spicy and I loved the connection between the FMC and all the MMC's and the MMC's and the FMC's little brother.

What to expect in #Bossholes…
*Workplace Romance
*Age Gap
*Three Grumpy Heroes
*Sunshine Heroine
*Opposites Attract
*Enemies to Lovers
*Online Auction (wink)
*Plenty of Dirty Talk
*All The Possessive Vibes
*LOL Banter
*HEA
*No cheating

This was a great story overall, a lot of laugh out loud moments and a pinch of suspense which I wasn't expecting. The spice was spicing and really, the rest is history. lol.

I loved all of the MMC’s, Maverick, Wyatt, and Brantley and Kinsley's inner dialogue made my day. Maverick's heart knew Kinsley the moment they met over cookies in the breakroom—there was no turning back for him. He admittedly was my favorite of the group.
As for the twins, Wyatt and Brantley, they couldn't be more different. Wyatt has golden retriever energy wrapped in a sharp business suit—loyal, warm, and approachable. Brantley, on the other hand, starts off as a bit of a jerk, but as his story unfolds, his guarded nature makes perfect sense. The kicker is that you fall even harder for him when you see his softer more thoughtful side! Overall, the group dynamic was perfection. They all complimented each other well and were different enough that even if I didn't read the chapter headers, I could know exactly whose chapter I was reading.

My only complaint was that for a virgin she sure was quick to jump right on into whatever the guys threw at her, not judging- but the confidence and the knowledge she possessed certainly wasn't something I had way back when... I believe it to be that the FMC never intended to be a 23-year-old virgin, but that caring for her brother took precedence though it was never innately expressed in that way, so I am assuming that's the case. Otherwise, such an inconsistency would bother me.

If you're looking for a funny and spicy why choose romance, then definitely pick this up.

I really enjoyed this story! There were moments where I laughed out loud and moments I wanted to throw my kindle!

I really liked Kinsley’s character and how she’s doing it all for her younger brother Colin. The way the MMC’s interacted and bonded with Colin was lovely to see to! I loved how Brantley was grumpy to start with, Maverick & Wyatt were great to.

A moment I found super funny was this scene here!

‘I smirk, my fingers trailing along the edge of my jaw. “You know, it all started when I caught her double fisting chocolate chip cookies⁠—” “Don’t you say it.” His gaze meets mine, a smile tugging at his lips. “It’s only fair she ends up double fisting us.” “And you said it.”’

This is a fast paced quick and easy read.

It's a little bit of insta-love, but more so insta-attraction than anything else.

I loved the banter between the men and between each man and Kinsley. I loved the different personalities we got to go with Kinsleys sunshine personality, grumpy sunshine, reformed playboy, golden retriever, they fall first and HARD. It's all just so good!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and finished it in one sitting!

I really liked this book. It’s had so many good tropes like why choose, workplace romance, bosses x employee, age gap (15 yrs), and forced proximity. I really loved Kinsley, her relationship with her brother, her friendships and that all of her friends love to read and they have a book club 👏👏. Kinsley is basically like us book girlies, swooning at hot men and loves to read, but she got lucky and got three hot lawyers.

So about the hot bosses, there’s Maverick, Wyatt, and Brantley, the twins. Maverick, is the hot blond, who met Kinsley first and was enamored with her even though she called him a dementor 🤣, and was the one out of the three guys who was OPENLY flirting with her. Then, there’s Wyatt, who was unsure about having her as their secretary, but he saw her and was instantly attracted to her and fought his attraction until she collapsed in his arms 🤭. It was such a small thing but after she had collapsed, she had to attend a meeting with Wyatt, he made sure he gave her a banana and when she pushed it aside, he gets all commanding and tells her to eat 😩🤭. And then, ever since he always made sure he left her food on her desk 😩.Absolutely swooning here. Finally, there’s Brantley who was definitely the hardest to crack, if Maverick was warm, Wyatt was lukewarm who quickly went to warm, but Brantley was COLD. Which made it ten times better when he finally gave in. Like he definitely fought his attraction to her for the longest, but on a random day Brantley had run into Kinsley and Colin, her brother, outside of work and he saw that Colin liked to read. And then, he sent Colin a gift which was an early copy from his favorite author!!! And this is the man who is the most closed off out of the three men!!! AND he started learning sign language for Colin after randomly meeting him once!!! AAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

Definitely easy to say I enjoyed this book. In the book, we didn’t learn too much about each character, nor did it have as much development in the romance as I would have loved, but honestly it didn’t take away from my enjoyment.

*received as an arc, but as always my opinion is 100% honest*

ARC Review📌

✨Okay, Bosshole was way more than I expected. It’s a whirlwind of snark, steam, and unexpected heart.💕

😏Yes, the premise is wild—a broke assistant accidentally auctioning off her virginity and the highest bidders just happen to be her three insufferably hot billionaire bosses? Absolutely not realistic. Did I care? Not even a little.😂

What really surprised me was how much heart Melissa Ivers packed into this story💙. It’s not just about the heat (though, trust me, there’s plenty of that🥵). It’s about a woman who’s backed into a corner, trying to keep it together while life throws everything at her—and somehow ends up finding connection, loyalty, and even a little healing in the unlikeliest of places.❤️‍🩹

❤️‍🔥Wyatt, Brantley, and Maverick all annoyed me at first, but I was totally sucked into their dynamic🤭. The banter is great, the chemistry is fire🔥, and watching the emotional walls slowly come down? Chef’s kiss.🤌🏽

But overall? It was a fun read! If you’re into grumpy x sunshine, boss/employee tension, found family vibes, and reverse harem drama with a real emotional core, this one’s worth the read.🙌🏽

Thank you to the Author Melissa Ivers and LoveNotesPR for the opportunity to read this ARC!❤️

I enjoyed this book so freaking much! It was the perfect why choose romance with the right amount of spice, character development and tiny bit of drama.

I actually adored Kinsley (our FMC), all she wanted to do was provide the best possible life for her little brother. And what better way to earn extra money than sell your virginity 😏

Maverick is a sweetheart and he was a goner the moment he saw Kinsley.

The twins, Wyatt and Brantley, are polar opposites. Wyatt is a golden retriever underneath all this business man persona. And Brantley is a dick to begin with, but we find out why he’s so closed off and it’s understandable.

All the characters have great development and it’s clear Kinsley is the missing piece for all 3 of them 😍

Their group dynamic was so good, they all fit together perfectly. The plot was fun and I honestly couldn’t put this book down. There is a tiny third act breakup and quite frankly the men are bossholes in this instance. Kinsley didn’t give in straight away but I do think her guys needed to grovel a little bit more, however it definitely didn’t take away from how good this book was.

This book was so addictive omg! You definitely need to pick this up! I practically read this in one sitting and I was sat the whole entire time. It’s very fast paced and easy to digest. And I could not put it down! I really enjoyed it! ⭐️

I loved all of the MMC’s, Maverick, Wyatt, and Brantley. Super cute! But I have to say Brantley was my favorite.
He was just like so cute and I feel like her was both Golden retriever and black cat at the same time? 🐈‍⬛🦮
He had some really cute moments! But I loved them all.

The Group Dynamic was so good and the plot was very entertaining, I loved how they all tried to control themselves around her but they all just folded at the end. They all had great development throughout the story and I thought it was very cohesive!
And Kinsley’s little brother, he was precious. 💕

This book was pretty spicy but all the spice scenes were very very different, They weren’t repetitive and they were part of the plot in a way.❤️‍🔥

I loved all of the Tropes, Work Place, Why Choose, Grumpy x Sunshine, Age Gap, etc.

Also I wanna say thank you to Melissa Ivers & Love Notes PR for this arc! 💜
