Tiff hates her job, where her boss tears her down every chance he gets. Her mother always has something to say about how she lives her life. Running is her escape from her constant anxiety, until four hot landscapers howl at her from the side of the road and disrupt her only peace.
Leon, Jace, Quinn and Eli insist that she smells wonderful. All of the brothers are inexplicably drawn to her, and they’re more than happy to share. But can Tiff really date more than one guy at a time?
The brothers are hiding something, something big. Even worse, Tiff’s boss is meddling in dangerous business, and dragging her in along with him. What will she do when everyone’s secrets come to light?
This is a super steamy novel with one anxious, plus-sized heroine and the four werewolves who worship the ground she walks on. This is a monster romance, so check the content warnings. There is no sword crossing. You can expect a lighthearted romp filled with knotting, primal play, and tons of smutty goodness.

I just cannot take the heroine being bullied and bullying herself for being fat. And choosing to make idiotic choices because her boss is bullying her. She knows it's not right but she's willing to put herself on the line because her boss is threatening her.
It's obvious she's being set up as a fall guy for corruption, fraud, and, potentially, embezzlement. It's killing me that she's not thinking.
Plus, this whole have unprotected sex with someone who doesn't know about werewolves is icky. Plus the four men being brothers.

Tiffany is working as a personal assistant for a HVAC company. She believes that she is finally with a company that’s great. The only problem is her boss is kind of awful. He’s demanding and rude and just an awful human being.
Her boss makes her question her already fragile self esteem and her self loathing through out the entire book stresses me out. I finally get happy feels when Tiff is jogging and sees these super sexy men working on a landscaping project.
They howl at her and tell her she smells really good which stresses her out. No running woman wants to be told she has a smell so she runs home to go wash up. On her run over the next few days she builds a bond with this attractive band of brothers!!
They are sweethearts who make her feel attractive for the first time. She sees an opportunity with one of the brothers or maybe two of them. The problem is she might be falling for all of the brothers, not just their bodies but their minds and hearts as well. I removed a star because I didn’t like how long her self loathing lasted in the story.
I can say it was the 65-75% mark when she finally started to defend herself. I know it’s a real life thing but sometimes we need a little more fantasy in our reverse harem shapeshifter romances !!
Other than that this was a fun read and I am happy to get another book from this author!!

Original rating: 2⭐️ but honestly I kept thinking about how much I didn’t like it 🫠 and about how irritating and grating the FMC was. Seriously dislike like her. She’s always complaining about everything and everyone. She also always only thinks the guys are after her for sex but when she thinks about them she calls them dense but good in bed. There’s a laundry list of reasons why I dislike the FMC.
February 2, 2025
The dynamics of the brother's Pack didn't seem equitable. Shifted s*x with wolf tongues in mouths (and down throats) and drool isn't for me. I could have done without the plot of a terrible mother and boss.

March 18, 2025Again, the FMC felt very juvenile. I'm all for adults having their hobbies that make them happy, but tbh I don't want to hear about all the stuffed toys on her bed in the middle of a spicy scene.

My goooossssshhhhhhhhh
I am so excited by this new release from Lyonne Riley. She is a master at creating unique characters and giving everyone their own personality. All the boys in this book are so loveable and Tiff is the exact sort of rep I want to see in plus size romance. She's amazing and seeing her get her HEA was *chef's kiss* perfection.

Nah. I've loved works from Lyonne Riley before but this one didn't click on any level. I didn't like the female lead and her desperation fueled stupidity. It was realistic sure, but that's the only part of the characters that felt developed. Besides, "omg what an asshole, but darn it he's so hot" always ticks me off. There are ways to introduce a reverse harem, especially with brothers; this was the worst way to introduce the plotline to both readers and the female lead. It was just messy lol

First off, I HATE Kindle Unlimited's predatory practice of the "Buy Now with 1 Click" on their app because guess who panic tapped the button on accident and ended up with this book? Me. Secondly when I tried to return said book it wouldnt even give me my full refund and gave me 2$ instead of the 5$ I paid (which yea I know is a more of a me issue but the point still stands)
I finished this story not because I wanted to, but I might as well finish a book I paid for.
Moving onto the actual story, the FMC is obnoxious with her woes-me attitude for 75-80% of the story and her mommy issues (which I get but also maybe do something about it? You're a big girl). Also, the internalized fat shaming from the FMC and constant reassurance from her 4 dudes gets tiring.
"Oh, how can they like ME, I'm FAT AND HIDEOUS!!!1!!" Like girl......... also, it was very obvious her shit boss wanted to have her be the fall guy for some shady scheme, and she's just like ohhh well, my job has benefits!! Like, girl, even McDonalds has a 401k plan and healthcare, so why even bother with this abuse?
Also, the timeline of her meeting Jace and then talking to the other brother makes 0 sense. Because even she mentions she meets Jace after work, presumably Thursday, they spend the night and she goes to work the next day hence Friday. And then she "hoards the secret to herself for a weekend," but when she talks to the brother, he mentions that Jace and the FMC met LAST NIGHT? Also, she gave HIM HER PHONE NUNBER SO HOW DOES SHE CALL HIM THE "NEXT DAY"????
So clearly beta readers didn't catch that and / or didn't care enough to point it out to edit
Also, can we mention this author's borderline fascination/fetish for drool?? Like I felt, it was unnecessary to point out the amount of drool drippage as the FMC was getting plowed.
It also felt like you didn't really get a good connection with any of the MMC romances, and it's just frenzied sex (which I do like on occasion in my skut but still) and just shallow/basic understanding of each guy. Like Eli was all "thanks for not giving up on me UwU" when all she did was yell at him, and he rarely appeared until like 80% of the plot was done.
I also feel like the plot regarding the mom just was ham fisted in there to add extra agitation to the plot after the whole shitty boss main plot. I get it was to show that she's grown past her mom induced insecurities, but like....why even bither with that mom because clearly even the FMC was like, "Ugh whateverrrrr she can deal lmao". Do you really want to keep THAT in your life when you don't even like her to begin with??
Also, the ending of rushing through pregnancy and "labor was so hard" to ok now our kid is 2. It really felt the author was done with this story and didn't know how to cleanly end it, so she just was like "uhhhh here ya go damn."
Overall, I will not be re-reading this, and I will be more careful of where my fat thumb goes on my phone when browsing non-Kindle Unlimited free books.

Okay, I REALLY didn’t like Tiff. She was so annoying and was either too quick to get defensive and yell at people, or she didn’t speak up for herself well.
Didn’t like the excess of drool either 🥴.
Once again, don’t feel comfortable when the reverse harem is made up of brothers as that little fact makes steamy scenes feel on weird and their kids are weirdly related/not???
Anyway, this was more of a “meh” read for me. The guys were pretty nice though 🥰

"Seduced by the Werewolves" by Lyonne Riley was a very campy and over the top werewolf smut book. I can't decide if the tone of the book was determined by the almost childish tone that the audio narrator used or if the tone the author used was borderline childish. I hope it's the narrator honestly, because with the amount of deliciously depraved smut that was in this book, the source being the author would be concerning. I think if I were to read this book again, it would be in a print/e-book format and I would skip the audiobook version. The narrator just wasn't my cup of tea and I don't think she did the book justice.
If you ignore the voice actor (though it is hard to do when it's an audiobook) the story isn't too bad. It's a fated mates kind of story and the FMC has a seriously awful self-image that her newly found mates help her with throughout the book. The FMC gets embroiled in a shitty situation with her boss and drama ensues. The resolution to the conflict was pretty concise (if not a little too easy) and seemingly all loose ends were tied up.
But the real star and focus of this book was the smut. The descriptions are pretty next level, the author left nothing to the imagination - really doing the Lords work. Some of the descriptors used for vagina and cock are a little cringe worthy, but if you talk about vagina and dick so often in a book, you're bound to run into repetition and might want to try and spice things up. Not only do these characters have sex in their human forms, but once the FMC finds out that the guys are werewolves, there are a ton of scenes with sex in their shifted forms. I don't know how much of those scenes are physically possible, but it made for decent smut scenes. And there is sooooo much emphasis on fluids and cum.
So ... if you're into shifter/werewolf spicy books, definitely check this one out. If you came for a storyline that was captivating and a large emphasis overall, I would skip this one. This was definitely written with monster loving smutty readers.

Seduced by the Werewolves is a stand-alone novel by Lyonne Riley and narrated by Leslie Burke.
This story was not for me and I ended up DNFing at 34%. I was looking for something fun, silly, sexy, and sweet. By the cover and blurb it looked and sounded like it would be all those things.
Tiff our heroine is a plus size FMC. She was so unlikeable. A doormat. It was constant self loathing, inner turmoil, and double standards. I couldn’t take the bullying from her boss and mom about her being fat.
As for the story you can clearly see she’s being set up to be the fall guy for corruption, fraud, and embezzlement, but what does she do? She makes idiotic choices; because her boss is bullying her. She knows it’s not right, but she’s still willing to put herself on the line just because her boss is threatening her. Use your brain. You clearly have one or you wouldn’t be doing the job you have.
The four brothers are sexy, but also eh! As for the sex, well, that was hawt, but also Tiff doesn't know they are werewolves and really she sleeps with them just after one date. After the sex we also get self doubt and confusion the next day, so it just brings the reader down and makes the sexy not as great.
I didn’t like any of the characters in this story nor did I care for the inner turmoil/self loathing. It just bummed me out.
Audio: This is my first time listening to Narrator Leslie Burke. She is so monotone in this novel. The whole story felt like one note. Dull. Like she was just reading the book. I just couldn't get into the audiobook.
Seduced by the Werewolves was not the book for me. If the blurb intrigues you, I urge you to give it a shot. Just because it did not work for me does not mean it won’t for you.
Rated: DNF 34%

4 fabulous stars for Seduced by the Werewolves 🔥💖🌟
This was such a good read well written characters with lots of chemistry. Tiffany is a full figured woman whose mother puts her down whenever they are together. She manages a some plumbing company for a boss who is a mean arrogant jerk. All she wants is to turkey find her place in the world. A place where she fits in, belongs is loved and is comfortable. Tiffany doesn't believe she'll ever find this until the day she meets Leon, Eli Quinn and Jase. Leon is the eldest of the four brothers and the one in control but when each of then smells the Devine scent of Tiffany they know she is met for them. But they have secrets and Tiffany's boss has made some very poor days dangerous decisions that are affecting Tiff. Will the secrets and the water keep them apart or draw them ultimately closer together. you need to read and find out. Werewolves looking for their queen will stop at nothing to show their love and protect her at all costs! Spicy and sweet a very nice treat of a read. 💖🌟🌶🔥🌶🌟💖🔥🌟💖🌶🌶🌟💖🌶💖🌟🌶🌟💖🌶💖🌶🌟💖🌟🌶🌟🌶🔥💖🌟🌶

I finally got to read this book and let me tell you I ate this up so fast I couldn’t put it down. I absolutely loved it. If you like werewolves and reverse harem then you will love this too. Leon, Jace, Quinn, Eli are brother and werewolves who own a landscaping company. Tiff is a personal secretary and is miserable in her job. While jogging she is catcalled by the brothers. Little did she know she was about to her seduced by the brothers. The chemistry between all of the brothers is 🥵🔥🥵🔥 5/5 recommend it

3.75⭐️ This one was cuter than the last book I read by the same author. I liked each character for different reasons. It’s been hard to find a why-choose romance where the men aren’t just all the same person with a minor itty bitty change and one grumpy one. This was refreshing and fun and had a semblance of a plot. Its very spicy and the author did that cringey thing where she called a penis an “object” but aside from that, a pretty decent time was had. This was my slump-buster.

I had the opportunity to read this story on the authors Patreon, and I'm excited is out in the world for monster romance lovers to enjoy.
Tiff and her Wolfie guys are absolutely adorable, I’m in love with their story. These wolf shifters are smokin’ hot! 🔥
Tiff, our FMC, finds herself drawn to four smoking-hot werewolves: Leon, Jace, Quinn, and Eli. The brothers are irresistibly devoted to her, and the sizzling chemistry between Tiff and the werewolf brothers is undeniable. The steamy moments are both heart-pounding and heartwarming. Leon and Eli were my favorites, but all four are equally captivating.
This fast-paced, polyamorous romance is filled with cozy sweetness and plenty of steamy moments.
If you’re a fan of monster romance or enjoy a good "why choose" storyline, this book is an absolute must-read!

I wasn't sure how I would feel about a pack of brothers claiming one girl, but as always I trust Lyonne to write a fantastic story and wonderful characters that will make me fall in love with her world. This book was no exception! A fun, silly, heart warming read with the spice that will have you sweating is exactly what i was looking for and is exactly what I got. Each brother is so different in their relationship and how they treat Tiff, providing all the affection, love and care she deserves. When Tiff realizes her boss gets her involved in things way over his head, her pack shows up to make sure their girl is taken care of. Who could ask for more?

So on paper this book is exactly the kind of thing I would love, but it wound up not working for me in a lot of ways.
I will say, the 2 stars are because the spice is great!
Starting with Tiff as a character. She was sooo unlikeable. It was constant self loathing, inner turmoil, double standards, and just one crisis after another. So much of the beginning of the book felt incredibly juvenile between the crass fuckboy energy we got from the brothers and the inflated drama from Tiff. It took me until probably 3/4ths of the book to really start to like some of the main characters but it was hard to even try to make that switch after being so annoyed with them.
(Side note: I really hated their meet cute because it just wasn't cute... It's pretty much explained away later but I just really wish the characters met in some other way)
I also could not stand how the brothers didn't tell her the truth about who and what they were BEFORE SLEEPING WITH HER!? Like sure you're entitled to keeping yourselves safe and not scaring off someone you like but then don't sleep with her until you tell her who and what you are. She let that part go too easily but honestly she was basically a doormat for the first half of the book so it was in character I suppose.
In addition to not particularly liking the characters I was probably supposed to like, I definitely hated the characters we were supposed to hate. Tiff's mother and boss were the worst. I liked the inclusion of a boss who causes panic attacks and a narcissistic mother. Obviously both characters were unlikable but I liked the juxtaposition of them as different types of villains.
Another thing that was disappointing to me was that there was a lot of texting to further the plot and it felt so stilted. I wasn't a fan of the monotony of guy texts girl "wanna go out today" girl texts back "sure" - date, sex, done, then another text in the morning from a different guy checking how the night before went. That exact plot basically happened 3 times in a row. It really took until the last 3rd of the book to really break the mold on some of that but even that still resulted in the morning-after-check-in-text. I usually don't mind texting in books but in this book it felt so forced every time.
As I said above, I do think the spicy scenes are good and varied. Obviously it's important to keep in mind that this is a monster romance/erotica book. I also felt like there was some decent character growth with most of the main characters and I did end up liking some of them in the end.
The dynamics of the type of relationship represented in this book (why choose brothers and werewolf pack) didn't really bother me but I do think it was introduced pretty awkwardly in this particular story. I wasn't crazy about some of the characters and some of the writing style and for me the only real saving grace was the spicy scenes. I do think I'll try another Lyonne Riley book but this was the only one my library had so I'm not sure which book or when I'll read it.
I will say, the 2 stars are because the spice is great!

In addition to not particularly liking the characters I was probably supposed to like, I definitely hated the characters we were supposed to hate. Tiff's mother and boss were the worst. I liked the inclusion of a boss who causes panic attacks and a narcissistic mother. Obviously both characters were unlikable but I liked the juxtaposition of them as different types of villains.
Another thing that was disappointing to me was that there was a lot of texting to further the plot and it felt so stilted. I wasn't a fan of the monotony of guy texts girl "wanna go out today" girl texts back "sure" - date, sex, done, then another text in the morning from a different guy checking how the night before went. That exact plot basically happened 3 times in a row. It really took until the last 3rd of the book to really break the mold on some of that but even that still resulted in the morning-after-check-in-text. I usually don't mind texting in books but in this book it felt so forced every time.
As I said above, I do think the spicy scenes are good and varied. Obviously it's important to keep in mind that this is a monster romance/erotica book. I also felt like there was some decent character growth with most of the main characters and I did end up liking some of them in the end.
The dynamics of the type of relationship represented in this book (why choose brothers and werewolf pack) didn't really bother me but I do think it was introduced pretty awkwardly in this particular story. I wasn't crazy about some of the characters and some of the writing style and for me the only real saving grace was the spicy scenes. I do think I'll try another Lyonne Riley book but this was the only one my library had so I'm not sure which book or when I'll read it.

Too much smut not enough plot
January 19, 2025
I wasn't really expecting much honestly. For some reason titles which really ham on the keywords are either the best of the genre (I'm looking at you, Alpha Tyrant's Rejected Mate) or not worth reading at all.
In this case I wouldn't quite say best of the genre (the genre being cozy werewolf smut) but definitely way up there! The weakest part was probably the pacing which isn't a huge deal breaker in cozy fiction anyway. Every bit of conflict was resolved well before the end and the rest was like an extended epilogue. The main conflict was resolved in a way that made me hmmm a little but this book wasn't trying to be complex or twisty so I just took it at face value (because the mob would definitely witness werewolves and then just leave them alone forever, scout's honor!)
The strongest part was the interactions between the FMC and her MMCs, how they were all very distinctive, and the relationships developed quickly but in an organic way. They were all absolute cinnamon rolls and the author managed to keep them that way while still introducing valid conflict AND not making the FMC TSTL (not the brightest bulb, but everythingshe did made sense from her worldview). It's something very few authors manage. The smut was hot, and it was mainly hot because all the work had been done before they got to the bedroom (or the forest, or the worksite...) so you knew what everything meant to all the characters.
I also really really liked how genuinely wolfish the boys were. Not just possessive or alphaholes like many Shifters tend to be.... it was more like she had mated a bunch of semi-wild dogs, who really liked licking her face and humping her leg, and were just genuinely confused by social conventions.
To sum it up, this gave me warm fuzzy feelings and I enjoyed it.

This was the second audiobook I have tried from this author and the second one I have given 3 stars. I think for me these might be better as ebooks/physical book reads. I am not a fan of the female narrator, the female one just is way too OTT and makes me cringe with a lot of the narration and performances. I didnt like her portrayal of the guys, how she became whiney in scenes, I don't know I just don't think she is for me.
The story wasn't bad, I would give it 3.5-4 stars. I liked how the guys didnt care she was on the bigger side, they enjoyed that part of her and all curvy ladies dream for partners like that! I did like how they looked human and she didnt know they were werewolves even though there were little hints throughout the way. I enjoyed their pack mentality but they each got to be themselves and we got different personalities with each one. You had one that was more distant but not because he didnt want her, one was the leader, one was the nerdy/young one who was so eager but nervous, and then the bestie/most loving and kind one who brought some levity. I liked the dynamic with them 1-1 with her and also in group settings (with some or all).
I enjoyed the feral part/animalistic features come out to play. I loved the knotting and the shifting haha. I thought the story was interesting too, had some twists and turns and excitement. Some things didnt make sense with the flow/reasoning but I let it go because this was more on the lighter side and again the narration wasn't my favorite.
I think this would have been a 4 stars just for the story but the audio brought it down to a 3 for me.

Are you surprised that im screaming about a Lyonne book? Because at his point no one should be.
I LOOVVEEDDD this, LOVED IT! I got to experience it uploaded chapter by chapter via Patreon and while the weekly wait was torture, it was more than worth it to experience such a wonderful and exciting story!
Sweet and anxious Tiff goes running before her very stressful job one morning, as she passes a group of landscapers they begin to, howl? At her??? And now she has to deal with four very strange guys who insist she smells amazing and are all very adamant about being with her.
I think this is one of the longest books Lyonnes written to date and dare I say its still not enough??? Yeah we got like 12 epilogues BUT I WANT MORE!!! In all seriousness its just as amazing as every other book released from the same author. The plot and world building bring just enough for you to stay curious with things that don't necessarily involve the characters as a couple AND each individual character is fleshed out and made into their own person, which can be hard with why-choose stories. I loved how each of the guys treated Tiff, while different they were all similar in their love with her.
No one deserves 4 hunky loving men like Tiff, you can tell that there was a lot of love and passion that went into writing this one.

I am completely in love with these four characters. Lyonne writes the most perfect monsters, making you fall for them instantly. This was no exception—Leon, Jace, Eli, and Quinn are each special and complement our protagonist, Tiffany, perfectly. There isn’t a single book by Lyonne that doesn’t become my favorite; every one of them simply blows my mind, and I fall in love with her characters. Who doesn’t need four gorgeous werewolves in their life, treating you like the queen you are and giving you all the love in the world? These brothers are on fire! The spice—OMG! So delicious, with each chapter better than the last. Our Tiff is one lucky girl. The chemistry between them all is perfection; they fit together in such a unique way. All the brothers are different, yet so similar at the same time. Tiff has the perfect husbands, who would do anything for her—and who would’ve thought they met in such a peculiar way? The moment they saw her walking down the street, they howled, sealing their fate together.
The perfect “why choose” story, with a touch of drama, loads of romance, even more smut, and to top it all off, that cozy vibe we all love. With four wolfies waiting for you to join them on this adventure, it’s simply irresistible!
