This is a HS centered reverse harem. I read it originally on kindle Vella (RIP) where it was titled Untouched. It’s now being edited down for publishing so i had to reread it, basing my review based off the edited version. Bear in mind they’re high schoolers so there’s a lot of cheese in here. Heavy spoilers ahead, and keep in mind. This is book one of six, which would have covered season one of the series on Vella. There is a second season in the works. This is very much an unfinished series and there are quite a few more books planned ahead of this. At this point in time, season two hasn’t begun.
OK our FMC is Harper. Raised by a single mom, her dad disappeared when she was young and is presumed dead. Her best friend Kenz is dating a football player, she’s into art and wants to go to a good college.
She’s at a high school ruled by the “horsemen”. This is Luke (death), Eli (pestilence), Caden (war), and Jack (famine). Obviously they’re on the football team. They come from privileged families, and basically get away with everything. They pride themselves in essentially sleeping with every attractive available girl in their class. Harper has stayed under the radar for the past three years by running every time they walk down the hallway and wearing potato sacks. First day of senior year and she is very much on their radar, because Luke walks in first period knowing she’s the last virgin in their grade. Obviously he and the horsemen are on a mission. Luke grabs her phone and adds her to their group chat lol.
So they stake their claim very publicly in the cafeteria. Harper wasn’t smart enough to lose it at band camp like all the other virgins ok, now no one else can touch or talk to her. This is kind of odd for the horsemen because usually no one gets all of them, just one or two but they’re all interested in her. But Harper is totally untouched and hasn’t even kissed a guy. They’re shocked because she’s completely inexperienced and not a technical virgin like the other girls in their class. Anyways she keeps resisting so she gets spanked publicly and enjoys it. She keeps putting up a fight and the guy decide they need to give her time to come to terms with things. At one point, she tries to find herself a boyfriend so the boys will leave her alone, and obviously no one is a man enough to step up and claim her and deal with the Horsemen.
A little about the guys: Luke is the quarterback, he has a really wealthy, father, but their relationship is quite strained. You don’t know a lot about this, but you suspect that his father is emotionally neglectful. Eli is into BDSM, he has a strained relationship with his parents too because his parents essentially hate each other. His mother has some sort of relationship with Luke’s father, and they work together (among other things). Caden also has very rich parents, who are essentially gone all the time, because they’re traveling for work. So he lives in a giant house by himself. His sister recently started boarding school at the beginning of this year, due to some sort of bully situation that becomes important later on in the story, so essentially Caden is just raised by an army of servants. Then lastly, you have Jack, whose mother is a doctor, and his dad is a stay at home Dad. He probably has the most functioning family out of all of them. He has a younger sister with a huge age gap so she’s in grade school. He’s also the only Horseman who is Bi and is also a genius hacker.
So initially, the guys are really overbearing and kind of just talk over her. It felt like they just wanted to own her. Naturally, this freaks, the hell out of her in the beginning, because she’s one girl up against 4 guys. However as the story goes, they’re more inclusive of her thoughts and do take the time to actually develop an emotional relationship with her. They assure her in the beginning, that nothing will happen until she decides she’s ready. The spice does get ridiculously good down the line in the series, however, initially it is very tame. In this book, they don’t go all the way, because they agreed Harper can decide when and where it’ll happen, and who she wants to take her virginity first.
All of the attention that Harper gets, naturally pisses off a lot of people. In particular, the cheerleaders aren’t happy that their favorite star football players are no longer available to hook up with, so she starts getting a lot of negative attention. Also keep in mind that these guys have hooked up with a lot of girls at the school, so Harper makes quite a a few enemies, because the Horsemen all want her, and it clearly isn’t a similar “ use and dump” situation as it was with all the other girls. Head cheerleader Sidney (Luke’s on again off again, and partner, who thinks they were dating), is particularly pissed and all, but leads a revolt against Harper. Also, while the horseman have hooked up with a lot of the girls, they have never actually dated anyone steadily. They have a couple of partners that they prefer and went back to, but that’s about it. Plus, the other guys at high school are also interested, and want to know what makes Harper so special and get a piece of her too. In particular, the baseball players aren’t happy with all the attention the Horsemen get and want to stake their claim on the school.
Keep in mind that while there is no actual cheating in the story, there is a lot OW drama, once the Horseman begin a relationship with her they are exclusively devoted to her. Especially because they all decide they want to have unprotected sex with her, so they cannot have other sexual partners. There is a lot of group play throughout the series, however, there is no sword crossing. The reverse harem is completely centered around her, so there’s no MM in this.
Also there’s a larger mystery which runs in the background related to strange events that happened in their town, which draws in a lot characters that Harper and the Horseman, may have had previous relationships with into the story. I don’t want to spoil it too much, but the mystery is related to the generation before them, involving their parents and Harper‘s dad. There is a ton of spice, but there is eventually a lot of plot too.
Anyways, so since Harper is claimed by the Horseman, she has to attend their football games, wearing their jerseys , going to the after parties, essentially moving like a girlfriend. Harper‘s mom is around and very involved, however, she’s a single parent and works as a nurse at the hospital, so she ends up having to take a lot of night shifts. This means that Harper ends up by herself a lot, which the horseman notice. So one of her men (usually Luke) , spend the night with her, or they all spend the night on Zoom, keeping an eye on her. After a few weird instances, where someone tries to break in, usually someone is physically there with her spending the night with her.
Towards the end of the series, after one of the games, they’re heading over to a party, when Harper ends up, running into an old friend at the game. This turns out to be her childhood Bestie, who suddenly moved away to New York City in middle school, Nico. It pretty obvious quickly, that Nico is interested in her and wants to date her, however, he doesn’t know about the Horsemen. Harper is afraid to take him to the party because she’s unsure of how the guys will react, particularly because it’s obvious that Harper also has feelings for Nico. However, when she gets there, the Horseman recognize him instantly and welcome him back, calling him Apocalypse dun dun dun.
OK, I’m not gonna lie, this is definitely high school drama and all the characters act like they’re undoubtedly in high school. This is cheesy, the things that they worry about are also cheesy as fuck. However, you can’t ask for more with a reverse harem set in high school. I will say this is definitely one of the better reverse harems i’ve encountered recently. When the guys finally stop acting like dicks, they’re completely obsessed with the FMC. Even then, there is a lot of toxic bullshit that you have to get through first, which I can see as being triggering to safety readers. Also FMC doesn’t lose her virginity in this book, so the spice is still building.

These guys are absolute assholes to the fmc. They force her to do things she doesn’t want to do, they spank her in front of the whole school & embarrass her, they allow other females to talk to her anyway they want and threaten her. They control her every move & won’t even allow her to hang out with her best friend unless they are present. They also let her think they will screw other girls, let other girls touch them & sit on their laps in front her the fmc. This is an emotionally abusive relationship. For 80% of the book they don’t even allow her to “get off” but they are allowed every single time. Oh and at the very end, another guy is brought in and it seems he’s going to be in the harem as well, like what the hell, he came out of nowhere! I also want to warn you that while there was no MM yet, it seems there will be in later books. One of the mmc’s is bi sexual and talks about sleeping with other men and it turned the fmc on so I’m guessing there will be mm in future books. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with mm, I just don’t like it in reverse harems and would’ve liked a warning.

Ending on that cliffhanger kills me!
I want to see what happens next, but will wait for the next book version to drop.
I would like more plot development, but not bad for an adaptation. A lot of writing for about 2 weeks of story time. Things moved pretty quickly for the main character, but pacing was slow for what the story was covering.

I’m sorry these guys were giving Ted Bundy

I came into this book cold since I've never read any of the author's serial stories before. I have read every published book though and I will say again CS Berry knows how to write an awesome why choose story with the perfect amount of smut, plot and suspense.
This story is about Harper and the four horsemen beginning their senior of high school and all of the sudden Harper is now seen by the these four guys from the football team who never noticed her before. That's because she's the last virgin left and they want her so they claim her as theirs for the year.
Luke is death, Caden is war, Jack is famine and Eli is pestilence and each begins to fall for Harper and becomes possessive of her. All the girls at school want the boys and will do just about anything to have them and Harper wants out of the situation that she's found herself in but then discovers that she likes the guys and enjoys the attention and she likes how they make her feel.
The angst and suspense is great. The surprise at the end?!?!? OMG!!!! This one does end on a cliff hanger and has six books in the series. Can't wait for book 2.

Plot: 4/5 • Spice: 1/5 ————> I probably should not have started this six book series with only two books out. 👀👀.
Harper has been avoiding The four Horsemen for three years. Now that there are no more virgins besides her the horsemen finally noticed her. Weird, right? These guys literally poach virgins. Use um and lose um. It didn’t sit right with me @ first, but then it got good.
They’re actually going through with this. They want her and her v-card. She wants nothing to do with them and tries to rid them of their attention to her. They dole out punishments for bad behavior, and she secretly likes it. This level of virgin that Harper is hasn’t even kissed a guy yet.
Luke, Jack, Eli and Caden - all seem to have their guards up, but as the book continues after they make a deal with her seem like they’re becoming attached. One year. That was the deal. They’d get all her firsts, and she’d be protected for a whole year.
This book one ends and Harper is still a virgin. There’s a damn curve ball in the last 10 pages. Who the fuck is Nico? Now we have a fifth horsemen? and we’re all just like “oh, okay. welcome back” 🤔🤔🤔🤔 Book 2, here we go.

I'm so used to CS Berry's other books that I was disappointed in book one, but only because the other books that I've read were straight to the action and this one is leading up to it, beautifully, but THE ANTICITPATION IS KILLING ME. I love that they're taking it slowly according to what the FMC wants but what about what I want.. ugh ill be on the look out for book 2
update: this came out as its own series now and I stand with what I said. it was updated a bit from the first time I read and I love the bully to romance that we've got going on here but I want some action 😫 i should be happy theyre respecting boundaries 🙄 and letting her lead 🙄 but i have to wait and I hate waiting! unfortunately or fortunately for me the series is 6 books long which is huge but also... its cs berry. those 6 books, Harper, the fmc, going to be freaked out by the end where ill be asking them to STOP TOUCHING HER most likely and then with the way this one ended... I cant wait to see what that brings. my only regret is not buying the serial so I know cause the anticipation truly is killing me.

Read at own Risk- This Story That Started My C.S. Berry Addiction
From the moment I began reading Their Dangerous Games, I knew this was no ordinary romance. I originally uncovered the story through an uncredited, plagiarised copy, and my heartbreak upon learning it had not been properly attributed to C.S. Berry. After reaching out to her and finding out DEVISTANGINY it was on kindle Vella (which we don’t have it Australia) , only deepened my resolve to one day read the book in its true, published form. To say I have been waiting so to say I have been waiting impatiently is a gross understatement.
The minute this edited release became available, I was there — obsessed from page one and undeniably jealous of Harper and the pull she holds over her men. They tell her they own her, but, truthfully, she owns them. She simply doesn’t see it yet — perhaps she’s the only one who hasn’t realised it’s her spell they’re falling under, not the other way around
Harper, the story’s heroine, is refreshingly real. She isn’t a character you want to scream at or roll your eyes over. She’s brave, fiery when it matters, and unapologetically innocent — a balance so beautifully written that you find yourself cheering for her, not critiquing her. Watching her evolve from unnoticed wallflower to a woman ready to hold her own — unafraid to take hold of her own sexual desires instead of collapsing beneath social expectations — is endlessly satisfying.
Harper remains authentically herself Her transformation doesn’t erase who she is; it enhances her. Even as her wardrobe refreshes, her world expands, and her life becomes beautifully and irreversibly entwined with the four men who have fallen hardest we see that Harper is not changing to meet their needs, not to fit their mould — this is her recognising invisibility is no longer an option. This is her stepping out of the shadows shamelessly taking charge and becoming the Harper she’s always wanted to be, finally learning who she is and what she wants and likes and taking it for herself.
As her world expands, and she quietly realises these four men are not going anywhere – and maybe that’s how she likes it and just maybe they were always meant to be central to her story — and perhaps she was always ment to be there’s .
The Four Horsemen Caden, Luke, Eli, and Jack — they are magnetic, layered, mysterious, and formidable. Their desire for Harper is intense and consuming, yet that only highlights the softer moments between them. The tenderness woven through the fire gives the story its heartbeat. They protect her. They showcase her proudly. They soften just slightly in her presence, and the chemistry is everything reverse-harem readers crave — scorching, thrilling, and deliciously paced. And the best part? We know we haven’t even reached the good part yet. The spark is already blazing, but the real inferno is clearly waiting for us in the books ahead.
By the time you finish this first instalment, you will be left you flushed, steamy, restless, and in urgent need of more. We close book one and Harper is still a blushing virgin — yet we finish itknowing the best, spiciest, soul-ruining goodness is still ahead.
This is why I fell in love with C.S. Berry in the first place. This is the book that lit the fuse and led me to my other loves such as Private Listing and Princes of Hollywood, stories that stole my heart just as completely, but never replaced the original obsession that started it all.
If C.S. Berry can write characters like this — ones you don’t just observe, but wish were your own fictional life. now, I I go back to impatiently waiting for the other books.
C.S Berry was always destined to be a favourite of mine — and I truly can’t wait for her to become one of yours as well

Disclaimer: I received an ARC of this book and am leaving a review voluntarily.
Their Dangerous Game is book one of six in the Untouched Series. It ends on a cliffhanger and continues in the forthcoming February release, Their Twisted Rules. The six-book series was first published as Season One of the serial Untouched, which was when I first read the story and was introduced to C.S. Berry’s writing. I’ve been hooked on her RH stories ever since, but Untouched is the original (and the one I keep going back to the most!!)
Since I was previously familiar with the series, I wanted to see how it was edited for the book releases. Some minor changes only tightened and improved the story. The intrigue, fascinating characters, unique story, and rich emotions drew me in as strongly as they did the first time I encountered them. I read the book in a single sitting again and immediately started craving the next part of the story.
Harper Davidson begins her Senior Year of High School at the start of the book, hoping to keep her head down and finish out her final year before graduation. Unfortunately, she’s the final person of interest in the sights of the Horsemen - Luke, Caden, Eli, and Jack - the most gorgeous and powerful guys in the class who’ve been making sure none of the girls leave school with their v-card intact. Being under their scrutiny is Harper’s worst nightmare, which is why she went to great lengths to avoid it during Middle School and the first few years of High School.
The rest of the story is full of twists and turns, plot-wise and emotion-wise. C.S. Berry does an incredible job developing the characters, so much so that it was very clear to me why Harper finds herself captivated by each of the guys in different ways, despite her instinct to get away as soon as possible. She quickly finds how intoxicating it is to have their attention and their affection. Despite how bad their reputations and her own preconceived expectations had been, Harper finds out that each of the guys surprises her in thoughtful, sweet, tender, and protective ways that leave her wanting to not only give in but also keep them even after their agreement has been satisfied. And even more, Harper finds that the affection she receives from each of them changes her and helps unlock parts of herself that have been buried.
Since I first read the story when it was a serial, I was curious where the book would end (for now), and now that I’ve finished it, I think it was truly the perfect spot to pause the story. I would love to be in your shoes again so I could read the story for the first time, but it was great to engage with the story again since it had some fresh additions and changes to tighten its progression. You’re in for a wild ride!
Their Dangerous Game is book one of six in the Untouched Series. It ends on a cliffhanger and continues in the forthcoming February release, Their Twisted Rules. The six-book series was first published as Season One of the serial Untouched, which was when I first read the story and was introduced to C.S. Berry’s writing. I’ve been hooked on her RH stories ever since, but Untouched is the original (and the one I keep going back to the most!!)
Since I was previously familiar with the series, I wanted to see how it was edited for the book releases. Some minor changes only tightened and improved the story. The intrigue, fascinating characters, unique story, and rich emotions drew me in as strongly as they did the first time I encountered them. I read the book in a single sitting again and immediately started craving the next part of the story.
Harper Davidson begins her Senior Year of High School at the start of the book, hoping to keep her head down and finish out her final year before graduation. Unfortunately, she’s the final person of interest in the sights of the Horsemen - Luke, Caden, Eli, and Jack - the most gorgeous and powerful guys in the class who’ve been making sure none of the girls leave school with their v-card intact. Being under their scrutiny is Harper’s worst nightmare, which is why she went to great lengths to avoid it during Middle School and the first few years of High School.
The rest of the story is full of twists and turns, plot-wise and emotion-wise. C.S. Berry does an incredible job developing the characters, so much so that it was very clear to me why Harper finds herself captivated by each of the guys in different ways, despite her instinct to get away as soon as possible. She quickly finds how intoxicating it is to have their attention and their affection. Despite how bad their reputations and her own preconceived expectations had been, Harper finds out that each of the guys surprises her in thoughtful, sweet, tender, and protective ways that leave her wanting to not only give in but also keep them even after their agreement has been satisfied. And even more, Harper finds that the affection she receives from each of them changes her and helps unlock parts of herself that have been buried.

Look, I received the ARC of this book on Friday afternoon and by Saturday night, I was finished reading it.
Yes. That is how addicting it was.
I have been a fan of Ms Berry since Private Listing. I don’t think I’ve ever read a reverse harem with such swoon worthy spice as I did with Private Listing. So to top that? Impossible.
But this book is coming a close second! Since there are 6 novels planned in total, who knows if the upcoming books may actually beat my love for Private Listing and become my favourite saga?
Now coming to the plot. If spice and smut is your need, then that is the exact or well entire plot of the book.
Picture this: You are the socially awkward wallflower, who flies under the radar for a long time, just living your life, making no noise ans just wanting to graduate and go to college at the end of the year and suddenly, you are surrounded by 4 jocks or horsemen as they are called, who want to give —no — take —all your firsts from you. They want to be your masters and want to make you their obedient student. That is it. That’s the entire plot.
And it’s sooo freaking good. So amazing that I was up till 3am reading the book!
Harper is just minding her own business until she isn’t. She tries to fight the guys as much as she can but even she knows that in the end, it is all futile. She knows she’s lost against the 4 horsemen. All she can do is give in —but she is no mousy flower. She learns to grow a backbone, play the very system the boys set up for her —and slowly starts to fall for them —their touch, their mouths, their kisses —their care!
For the 4 horsemen, she was just an itch they needed to scratch, a right of passage until they slowly began getting addicted to her —her innocence, her fire, her kindness, her softness, her feistiness. They think they own her but in the end, she’s the one controlling their emotions.
The book is so fun! So hot, so tempting! I’m just mad it wasn’t longer! I can spend days upon days reading about Harper and her men!
So yes, a drop dead gorgeous 5 stars from me!

Welcome to my latest Obsession. This book was like pure dopamine for my brain, meaning I beyond loved it. The bully/why choose genre is my absolute favorite (dark hockey romance pulling up extremely close behind), and Their Dangerous Game DELIVERED.
I’m rabid for why choose, throw in some football Gods called The Horsemen who rule with an iron fist at Sherman High, make all four of them beautiful beyond belief and you have Luke, Caden, Jack and Eli.
The Horsemen have a reputation for making the virgins in their year….non virgins. It’s senior year and the last year to claim virgin territory….but only one remains, who slipped under their radar, Harper Davidson…
Harper made it her mission to slip under the radar of these boys. Not wanting to be one of their notches on the bed post, Harper did everything possible to avoid attracting their attention….until she’s seen….and marked with ownership by the Horsemen. But they don’t just want her virginity….they want her compliance for a year. Finding herself in a situation she wants no part of, getting to know these boys puts a new light on them….she plans to keep her virginity, but as she gets closer and they start to show her all the ways they can make her feel good…she feels her walls slowly coming down…
But then a blast from the past shows their face and a new hand is dealt by the boys that Harper never saw coming….
This does end on a cliffhanger and is the first book in a six book series (which I’m stoked about!)
This book is more of a delicious slowburn up to what I know will be pure heat in the following books. This book is the “edging” book…and I loved it. Every second. I can’t wait to read the next in the series because I know this journey is going to be intense. Also these book covers are PERFECTION 🥵
Highly recommend.

✨ARC Review✨
I remember how much I fell for this story and its characters while I was reading it on Kindle Vella, so I was really curious to see how the novel would turn out. So good! It was very true to the serial but the add-ins, even when they were small, really fleshed out the story.
The story is based on the premise that the four most popular football players, known as the Horsemen —Cade(War), Jack(Famine), Eli(Pestilence) and Luke(Death)—have made it their mission to sleep with every virgin in their senior class. They’re not exactly known for their kindness and have rightly earned that reputation since middle school. Harper has worked hard to stay invisible to avoid their humiliation. Now, however, she is the only virgin left in their class and she has their undivided attention. In other cases it didn’t matter if just one of the Horsemen checked a virgin off the list, because Harper is the last they all four want to be a part of it.
The book is the first in a six part series, Untouched, so it is laying the foundation for their relationship and letting us get to know the dynamics between Harper and the guys as well as the Horsemen as individuals a little at a time. Harper believes that once they’ve gotten what they want, her virginity, they will toss her aside. The guys are finding that they want more than they were expecting with her.
The rest of the girl population did not expect the Horsemen to stick with Harper, so it is towards the end of the book that we see drama with the cheerleaders start to unfold. Not only that, but someone seems to be after Harper in a much more dangerous way. And, as expected, we are left on a cliffhanger dying for what happens next! If you were lucky enough to read the serial, you’re just dying to see what’s changed and re-read the goodness! #reverseharem #bullying #virginfmc #hotfootballers #publichumiliation #firsttimes #horsemen #untouched #theirdangerousgame

What happens when the last virgin at Sherman High catches the attention of the Four Horsemen?
Harper’s year turns into a battlefield — and Luke, Caden, Jack, and Eli are playing dirty.
The rules are simple, try and keep one step ahead of the Horsemen, and always pay attention to the fine details of the deal you make with Death.
This book completely pulled me in from the first chapter. The Four Horsemen are chaotic, magnetic, and absolutely infuriating in the most addictive way.
Harper’s struggle to keep her boundaries while being thrown into their world made the story feel tense, dramatic, and honestly impossible to put down.
What I loved most is how the dynamic shifts — the boys start as these untouchable “gods” of the school, but as their interactions with Harper grow, you really see the layers underneath the bravado.
Harper herself is stubborn, determined, and surprisingly strong despite everything thrown at her, which makes rooting for her so easy.
The tension, the slow-burn ownership vibes, the constant push-and-pull — it all works. It has that mix of messy, dramatic high-school toxicity and emotional intensity that keeps you flipping pages just to see what stunt the Horsemen will pull next.
This book ends on a cliffhanger, but it is so worth the wait.
It only gets more intense, more chaotic and a whole lot more spicier.
Tropes
• Bullies-to-Protectors
• Touch Her and Die vibes
• Reverse Harem
• Forced Proximity
• Last Virgin
• All Her Firsts
Trigger Warnings
• Bullying
• Public Humiliation
• Stalking
• Dubious consent
• Spanking/bondage
• Group scenes (No swords crossing) All characters are of age
Spice 🌶🌶
This is the first book in the series of 6, and is a slow burn, but the spice level kicks up to 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 across the books.

C.S. Berry delivers a scorching and deeply compelling introduction to a new dark reverse harem series with Their Dangerous Game. From the moment we meet Harper, the last senior virgin who deliberately dresses to unimpress, and the four Horsemen—Luke, Jack, Eli, and Caden—you know this ride is going to be intense. These four guys are notorious, but now they have locked their sights on Harper, and they have decided she belongs to them.
What makes this book so addictive is the immediate, explosive tension. Harper doesn't go down easily; she fights them at every turn, attempting to push the possessive Horsemen away, even resorting to faking being grounded. But the way they turn on their charm, mixing ruthlessness with carefully placed public embarrassments and games, is absolutely mesmerizing. The initial conflict is quickly overshadowed as Harper is forced to play their game, and the barriers she so fiercely upholds begin to crumble.
The chemistry is instantaneous and dangerously hot, building at a breakneck speed. What begins as aggressive claiming and small touches quickly escalates into evening webcam sessions. While Harper is fighting tooth and nail to keep her boundaries, she loses her first kiss and experiences her first orgasm (without the final act), showing just how skilled and relentless the Horsemen are in their pursuit. The author expertly builds the desire between Harper and her men, making the tension palpable on every page.
Just as the emotional tension reaches a fever pitch, her childhood crush, Nico, reappears. Harper is now completely torn, wrestling with the intoxicating, possessive pull of the Horsemen (Luke, Caden, Jack, and Eli) while battling resurfaced feelings for Nico. This conflict adds a delicious layer of emotional turmoil, setting the stage for a heart-stopping conclusion that guarantees you'll be desperate for Book Two immediately. The character development, the quickening plot pace, and the overall sexy tension make the wait for the next installment agonizing.
If you love your dark romance with possessive heroes, a fighter of a heroine, and a rapidly escalating reverse harem plot, start this series now. I am completely obsessed and can't wait to see what dangerous games Harper and her Horsemen play next!

Their Dangerous Game (the first of six books) is an addictive, slow-burn, high-tension romance that grabs you from the first chapter and refuses to let go. C.S. Berry delivers a story that feels both intimate and cinematic—full of simmering chemistry, sharp dialogue, and stakes that keep rising right when you think you’re safe.
At the heart of the book is a heroine who’s easy to root for: resilient, intuitive, and thrown into a world she never expected. Opposite her is the enigmatic, dangerous, and completely magnetic love interest(s) whose every move blurs the line between threat and temptation. Their dynamic is electric. Berry writes tension like a science—each encounter is charged, each secret revealed with perfect timing.
The plot is fast but never rushed, weaving mystery, romance, and psychological suspense into a single pulse-pounding thread. The atmosphere is dark but addictive, filled with secrets, shifting power, and that delicious “should I trust him?” energy. Berry’s prose is vivid without being overwrought, giving the emotional moments weight and the dangerous ones bite.
By the final chapters, the cliffhanger lands exactly the way a series opener should—leaving you desperate for book two without feeling cheated.
Untouched #1 sets the stage for a series that promises even higher stakes and deeper emotions.
If you enjoy obsessive tension, morally gray love interests, and slow-burn danger-laden romance, Their Dangerous Gameis the start of a series you won’t be able to stop thinking about.

This is one of those the audio carried the book situations for me.
The premise? The kings of campus running their own twisted catch em all game… except the goal is virgins, and Harper is the final target. It leans hard into coercion and power dynamics, which made the high school setting feel especially uncomfortable. As an adult reader, you can separate fiction from reality, but I couldn’t shake the thought of how easily this could be read as normalised behaviour by high school students. Aging these characters up to college would have made a huge difference.
That said, it’s not just about the chase. The underlying threat storyline adds some much-needed weight and gives the plot a reason to exist beyond shock value, which I appreciated.
Where this really shines is the audiobook. Full cast duet narration with Corbin King, Michael Gallagher, Mollie Starks, Lee Samuels, E.M. Wylde, and Derek Prince is honestly the selling point. The production quality is top tier, each voice distinct, emotional, and completely committed. They elevate every scene and make it far more engaging than I think the text alone would have been. I genuinely don’t think I would have finished this if I’d been reading it.
Overall, a quick why choose listen that works best as a palette cleanser between heavier reads and longer series Come for the cast, stay for the drama… just know what you’re walking
Thank you to one night stand productions for the ALC

These guys are absolute assholes to the fmc. They force her to do things she doesn’t want to do, they spank her in front of the whole school & embarrass her, they allow other females to talk to her anyway they want and threaten her. They control her every move & won’t even allow her to hang out with her best friend unless they are present. They also let her think they will screw other girls, let other girls touch them & sit on their laps in front her the fmc. This is an emotionally abusive relationship. For 80% of the book they don’t even allow her to “get off” but they are allowed every single time. Oh and at the very end, another guy is brought in and it seems he’s going to be in the harem as well, like what the hell, he came out of nowhere! I also want to warn you that while there was no MM yet, it seems there will be in later books. One of the mmc’s is bi sexual and talks about sleeping with other men and it turned the fmc on so I’m guessing there will be mm in future books. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with mm, I just don’t like it in reverse harems and would’ve liked a warning.

Their Dangerous Game originally started as a Kindle Vella, Untouched, via Amazon's serial platform. CS Berry has edited the storyline a little to make it a series of six books, and wow, it does not disappoint.
Harper is the target of the Horsemen's desire - Caden, Luke, Eli, and Jack - since she is the last known holder of her v-card. After years of staying off their radar, their senior year starts off with all four guys focused on her. Harper tries hard to deflect in her own ways, but their interest is intense. While the chemistry is off the charts, she does find that they are willing to keep her safe from other people.
CS Berry's ability to add the tender moments between characters amidst the intense interactions is undeniable. All of the guys fall further into Harper's spell, even as awkward and innocent as she is. And Harper does not change from a wallflower into a diva; she'd be happy to stay a wallflower, albeit one with a refreshed wardrobe. The extra lunches, the soft hands on her back, the sweet words whispered - and the realization that Harper DOES want all four guys in her life - move the story along very nicely.
I'm looking forward to seeing how the series evolves with the edits. Book 2 has just been pre-ordered.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

CS Berry wrote a fantastic book in "Their Dangerous Game." With four popular boys who call themselves the four horseman. They are Eli Jacobs, Jack Hill, Caden Ross and Luke Foster. They rule the highschool and have this thing with the females, they want to make sure all females in there class was not a virgin. Where Harper Davidson kept off there radar until Senior year of highschool, she stayed under the radar with her style and knew where to sit in the classroom. When all four decided after hearing she was the last in the school to go after her and was trying to figure out why they didn't notice her when according to Luke she was a fuckable. So all four started being wherever she was, in a way being her friend all while showing they want her. I developed a lot of emotions with how these boys acted. But once started I had to finish. I was hooked from start to the end of the book. I cannot wait for the next book. I highly recommend this book.
I was given an advance reader copy of this book for my honest review.

HOT but demeaning
If you want STEAM with a lot of dubious consent this is the book for you.
Well written and very detailed, but not the book for everyone.
Harper, the last virgin in the senior class, is forced into a group sexual relationship with the 4 kings at the school. Her complete inexperience with sex or even high school society make her feelings confusing, especially when it comes to get sexual awakening.
Just because your body reacts to sexual stimuli, does not mean you consent or even want it. While the kings won't force their Ds in her P, she doesn't get to initiate or stop their activities. Everything is done via punishment and they look forward to punishing her. That was my main issue with the book, the constant punishments.
Harper is strong and pushes back and is willing to take the punishments to stand for herself, but she needs to take more ownership.
We don't learn too much about the guys, but there are enough hints that they are redeemable.
Looking forward to the next book.

The crackling chemistry, sharp banter, defiant vibes and bruting moods of Their Dangerous Game had me edgy and ready to flip the page, all in my feels.
The story of Harper Davidson, a headstrong FMC who flies under the radar for three of her high school years from the four Horseman, the star football players didn’t disappoint a second time around. However, on the first day of her Senior year, she finds herself suddenly the STAR of their attention and maybe some unwanted attention she’s not quite ready for.
These characters bring it all to the surface as they conquer and complete a lot of firsts. Harper’s defiant nature doesn’t give into their demands easily but being a flower has her wanting them and so much more.
I love how C.S. Berry brings in the suspense of what will happen next with all the lavish lust of wanting from being UNTOUCHED right up to the end. That cliffhanger .. a 5th Horseman/Best Friend ... what??? has already got me SO excited for the next book.

I am absolutely melting over this book... insides quaking with need. I have been in love with CS Berry for what feels like forever and I can never get enough of her addicting writing. Untouched followed suit incredibly well.
The tension and build up was spine tingling and hunger inducing, I could not get enough. I don't feel like I can say it was all smut/spice because it's really high school stuff. How it is possible to be that hot and steamy that way, I have no idea, but it was so fire. Our characters were delicious, I need my own horsemen more than I need air. Even the side characters were developed and something to fall in love with. Props to Jennifer, a truly worthy mom. All the characters added beautifully to the story. Our fmc and mmcs were everything I could have hoped for and I just about cried that I was done reading about them until book two.
I devoured this book soo fast, less than a day and it was soul crushing to be done and with that cliffhanger! I need more so badly my soul is aching. I can't even believe that the whole book was only like a month! It felt so quick and so agonizingly slow all in one. And yet, something is lurking that we haven't even gotten into yet. So well done miss Berry. So amazing, 10/10, highly recommmend, I could not get enough, and I am desperate for the next book.

Oh the slow burn was exquisite in this book! Don't get me wrong - the spice was spicing. But I really loved how this book was setting up the rest of the series. I know that book 2 is going to be insane. And the cliffhanger!?! I mean - what was that? I am going to need the next book ASAP.
Harper is the FMC, the last virgin in the senior class. The four Horsemen—Luke, Jack, Eli, and Caden— are notorious players but they decide that Harper can't graduate with her virginity. They (luke) decide she belongs to them and over the course of the book, she decides that they belong to her. The side characters were fun too - love Kenz as the best friend. Immediately recognized Tanner from the other series and HATED him. I'm sure more will be told in the next books. I love CS Berry's writing and how she just grabs the reader's attention. The camera scenes were really hot - can't even imagine. Definitely recommend and will be anxiously awaiting book 2.

I devoured this book! I did not want to stop reading until the end!
Oh my goodness! Those horseman had me sweating and swooning.
Talk about off the charts tension the whole way through. Along with spicy moments and dirty talking.
I really liked Harper. She doesn't just give in. She still sets boundaries, but can also admit some of her desires.
I liked each of the guys. The author did a great job making each of them stand out too.
I will admit though, Caden and Luke are probably my favorite.
This book had drama, humor, a few emotional moments, so much sexual tension, and some spice.
Now, that ending... I wouldn't say it was a cliffhanger per say. However, I totally didn't expect that. Im hoping we get book 2 very soon! I cannot wait to see what's in store for Harper and the horsemen!

So I read this serial when it was on Vella. It was actually my first read ever on Vella and my first C.S. Berry story. Loved it then. Even read it a few times as I struggled to find other things I wanted to read. And as I read it now in book form it is even better. There is more back story added and the transitions seem smoother (that might just be because I'm not switching from episode to episode.
Anyways, this is the steamy story of Harper and her horsemen. I definitely have my favorite horseman (I go for the troubled types) but I am absolutely OBSESSED with all of them. As you read this book you will cringe, cheer, and fall in love with all of the main characters.
Trust me, you will want to read this book and follow the whole series. It is sexy, steamy, and the character development is amazing.

I have been in one of the biggest reading slumps of my life and this book brought me back to what I enjoyed most about the book community - recommendations and reviews.
For anyone new to my account, I am an utter SLUT for reverse harem/why choose stories where there is one FMC and multiple MMCs 😈
If you like a sassy, smart and not so quick to give in FMC, you’ll absolutely cheer on Harper (and wish you were in her position). 😮💨
This story does take place with all main characters in their Senior year of high school and all 4 MMCs the elite alphas as the star football players.
What starts off as a conquest slowly turns into lessons in control, in patience and realizing what you deserve.
I would consider this first book a slow-burn as things build between the FMC and the MMCs. This book DOES end on a cliffhanger (a predictable one, so not too bad).

I loved the original Untouched series and I am so happy she is re-releasing as multiple books since there is so much to unpack to this story! You will love meeting the Four Horsemen. They think they rule the world, but they are slowly learning that one girl will rule them all. Teenage Angst. First Love. Lack of parent supervision. What could possibly go wrong? I absolutely love the enemies to lovers trope. You will feel the heat and tension as they try to deny how much they need each other. I also love how this book sets the stage for the rest of the series by introducing other characters who will play a greater role. There is drama (they are teenagers after all) and mystery. They have to learn who to trust and how to get revenge on those who try to interfere. Highly recommend! I can't wait for the next book

I read the Private Listing series first and fell in love with C.S. Berry. Once, I read the first 10 chapter of Their Dangerous Game (Untouched volume 1), I knew that I would have to read this whole series too. Love the untouched concept FC Harper. Love the introduction of all the MCs, their different personality and interactions. Love the RH theme and how well every main and side character is developed.
Their different approaches are great because it illustrates soft moments, intense moments as individuals or different combination of the MCs. The interaction between the MCs is so intense and I just cannot stop reading this book!!! Cannot wait until the next book is out.
If you like RH, high school and sport theme books then this is the series that you want to read and follow. I was chosen to review the ARC of the first book. I'm looking forward to seeing how the series evolves.

I am addicted to everything C.S. Berry writes! Their Dangerous Game had me hooked from the very beginning. Luke, Eli, Jack and Caden are mysterious and dangerous and I am obessed with them!
I absolutely love Harper's fire. I was looking forward to every interaction she had with the four Horseman.
Everyone should have a mom as amazing as Harper's. I loved her so much!
I love a good nickname and by far Unicorn is my favorite. It was something new and so refreshing.
I grew up on high school TV dramas and this gave me all the nostalgic vibes plus lots of added spice! I loved it so much!
I am so excited to see what happens in the next books. I'm counting down the days until the next one!
Thank you to the author C.S. Berry and team for the eARC!

I'm gonna be completely honest with you. In the beginning, I wasn't sure if I was going to like this story, mainly because the guys, Luke especially, acted very cruelly towards Harper. However, after reading the book, my opinion has changed. I absolutely love this book. The guys all have issues, reasons for why they are the way they are. Harper is the exact woman they all need to soften the rough edges that their family lives have caused. It's going to take some work, but this group is going to be amazing together, once they all get out of their own way.
I had a great time reading this story, and I look forward to reading more.
My ranking of the guys (Fav to least Fav): Luke, Caden, Jack, Eli & Nico
