Who says there's no such thing as the perfect kidnapping?
Tell that to the masked men who snatched me up in the dead of night. Three dangerous men with only one to keep me for themselves.
Captured and snowbound in an isolated cabin with nothing but each other for company, I find myself at the mercy of the men who ignite my soul with a fire that only burns for them.
As the storm rages outside, an inferno burns between us that's scarier than any blizzard. These are not good, law abiding men with pure intentions. They are the rejects. Jefferson’s unwanted filth. They are the men girls are warned about. But I don’t care.
They are mine.
My filth.
My rejects.
They are everything to me, but they are keeping a secret from me. There is a clock running down to when I might lose them forever. A slap of reality waiting to strike once the storm stops that may leave me broken-hearted.

The warning at the beginning of Little Rejects was promising,and the story delivered….in spades! “To you, who picked this book up knowing you’re not here for the plot.” Because this deliciously dirty little gem left me in need of hubby’s help after i finished.
It’s the story of how Jefferson’s rejects finally became the quartet they were meant to be. With little glimpses into the past to show how their lives have been connected all along. And with the pov of all 4,but mostly Cherrie’s,it’s clear what she means to Cal,Milo and Tieran. As well as what they mean to her…. Loved her way of cursing,too!!
Genre: Dark Erotic Romance Type: Standalone novella from Jefferson Rejects series POV: First Person - Multiple Rating:
Cherrie’s life was going nowhere in a town that never really accepted her. That changed in a snap when three masked men took her to a remote cabin, where they were snowbound by a severe storm. Callum, Tieran, and Milo had a plan, and Cherrie had no idea she was part of it.
This one was a quick, smutty read. I liked the characters’ backgrounds and dynamics. I have to say I wouldn’t mind being in Cherrie’s position. Being warmed up by protective and attentive men? Yes, please lol!
I want this. I want my boys like this. I want them to take me and fill me and remind me I’m theirs.
Little Rejects is a story of claiming and starting over. It would appeal to readers who enjoy dark, erotic novellas.

I wanted to love this so hard. But I literally can’t stop thinking about her using the word duck and ducking instead of fuck for most of it and threw me off. It’s only 96 pages so I get that it’s a no plot all smut but was just messy for me.
When I started reading this, I thought it was going to be one of those “bad boys kidnap the girl and eventually she falls for them enough to have sexy times”. But that wasn’t what this was at all. This just felt different from what I’ve read in the past. Yes, there are bad boys. Yes, they kind of kidnap the girl. But these bad boys weren’t what you expect. They would never want to cause the FMC a minute of pain (unless she asked for it). This is a short quick read that gives those dark romance vibes but isn’t but so dark. I loved how this story took place over the span of a few days, but we also got the back story on how each of the guys first encountered the FMC. And even though the three guys are so close that they consider each other brothers, they all met her at different times in her life. This story is for those that may not want to be thrown into the harsh dark romances out there, but also don’t want the saccharine sweet love stories either.
The entire focus of this story is the four main characters. Except for mention of a few others, they are the only people in this story. Anyone who has ever lived in a small town where everyone knows your business can definitely relate to this story. Especially if you were on of the people that didn’t exactly fit with the status quo of the town. It wasn’t just the popular kids who looked down on these four, but the whole town wrote them off for no fault of their own. But the MCs embraced being “the rejects”. The MMCs leaned into it, and became the guys that the whole town feared. Everyone but Cheri. Before they were ever hers, she wanted them to be hers. Other than a few small misunderstandings, there wasn’t a lot of fight in this book. The darkness comes from the characters. It comes from who they are and who they became. But it was sweet how protective they were over Cheri. Like when Cal yelled at the other guys to make sure she was buckled in. They cared so much for her safety.
This was a really enjoyable book. I would have loved to know more about these characters, being a reject from a small town myself. But what we got was a great short and spicy story that danced in the dark but wasn’t so dark that it couldn’t be enjoyed by most people. These characters were so fantastic and I enjoyed the few days we got to spend with them. You can read this story in no time and it’s an excellent choice if you are looking for some extra spice to add to your life and know what its like to be the different one.
This one I would say is more smut than plot but at around 100 pages (or 1306 locations why can’t it just tell me in pages) I’m not complaining. It does also contain a rather large shopping list of triggers.
It centerer around Cheri a 22 year old orphan that is a reject in her small town and the 3 boys she had been in love with since she was 15. Cal, Tieran, Milo also town rejects.
We learn early on from Cheri that the boys have pretty much always had her back but when we get the boys POV we find out when or how their obsession with her comes about.
I know it was just a novella but I would have liked to have seen were the relationship between them went once they got to were they where going.
I enjoyed the childhood friend aspect. Knowing they had known her since 15 it made knowing that they would protect her at all cost that much sweeter. I do wish that we got to see a little bit more of the relationship and I did wish there was maybe some MM
I absolutely loved this novella. It has men in masks, all the spice, and three yummy men that would protect their girl at all costs. By the end of this I wanted more!
It says that it is a dark romance, and I understand why, of course. but for myself, I can not say that it is a dark romance. I found it a lovely quick read with many spices, haha
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶🥵 Spice over plot but so well done. This was a cute spicey read. Telling the story of childhood friends who found their way back to eachother. Her men would never go anywhere without her. Making sure she knows just what she means to them. I wish it was longer as I did not want it to end.
Another outstanding and spicy why choose novel from the queen of spice herself!!
This is a very short but still super spicy and enjoyable read. There was enough of a plot to keep readers engaged but not too much that it took away from other aspects (wink wink). My only negative mark is overall plot being not entirely cohesive, and the timeframe feeling rushed. I really wouldn’t have minded a higher page count for a smoother transition of both the overall timeframe and plot itself. I found that the plot came in the beginning and the end, with hardly anything to show between those points so it felt kind of off kilter for me.
The spice going on here?? Fantastic. She says masked men and I am already all in. There is strong familiarity with our FMC and MMC’s from a shared past which adds strong emotional depth that I noticed right off the bat. I really enjoyed watching their relationships evolve to present day and how that gets interpreted into their place scenes. The spice starts off strong and stays strong the entire time. There was some weird time skips with scenes that we weren’t given in detail which was a wasted opportunity. But the scenes we got were absolutely phenomenal, and I only wish we got more.

Great story! I love a story where the main character(s) are the unpopular ones, picked on ones, etc but then they find themselves and find love and realize that others have loved them too in the shadows.
Short, spicy, and you'll want to read it in one sitting. ♥️
This book is exactly what you want to grab when you’re in the mood to skip the fluff and dive straight into the good stuff. The plot is barely there, but hey, who’s here for the plot? It’s just enough to keep things from veering into pure porn territory, and trust me, it delivers on its promise of MMMF fireworks. But—and here’s the kicker—despite being light on narrative, the character development is spot on. We’ve got four distinct personalities, each with just enough backstory to make their spicy moments hit differently. You’ve got Cheri, Cal, Tieran, and Milo, who are all outsiders navigating life in a town so fake it could moonlight as a Stepford audition reel. Honestly, it’s a miracle any of them stuck around as long as they did, though Cheri couldn’t leave because, well, she was broke. And the boys? Ride-or-die types who’d never abandon her. The bond between these four misfits was everything. Before things heated up, they were already a makeshift family. Protective men who’d been smitten for years? OMG, inject it directly into my veins! The way Cal, Tieran, and Milo cared for Cheri, protecting her long before the sheets got tangled—was just the cherry on top of this low-plot, high-spice sundae. So, let’s talk about that spice, because oh boy, it is served hot and frequent. Whether it’s one-on-one or all-together-now, this book does not skimp on the steamy fun. Throw in a kink or two (or three—who’s counting?), and you’ve got enough to keep your Kindle blushing. No third-act breakup nonsense here, either—thank the book gods! But there is a wobble, just enough to make your heart race and, let’s be honest, you were hoping Cheri would earn a little punishment. All in all, this book is the kind of unapologetically spicy, unexpectedly heartfelt escape that’s perfect when you want to turn off the world and turn up the heat. Highly recommended—but maybe keep some ice water nearby. 😉. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Little Rejects by Airicka Phoenix is an intense, thrilling, and unapologetically dark romance that will keep you on the edge of your seat. If you’re a fan of forbidden love, suspenseful twists, and complex relationships that challenge your comfort zone, this book will grip you from the very first page and never let go.
The heroine is snatched in the dead of night by three dangerous men, each more enigmatic and fierce than the last. Isolated in a snowbound cabin, they are far from your typical heroes—these are men with dirty pasts, deep secrets, and a singular purpose: to keep her for themselves. The chemistry between them is undeniable, and the raw passion that develops in such a confined, dangerous space builds into something that feels both exhilarating and terrifying.
What I love about this book is how the author weaves intense desire with a deep emotional undercurrent. The men, described as the "rejects" of society, are far from perfect, but there’s a rawness to their vulnerability that draws you in. The heroine’s inner turmoil—her growing feelings for these men and the secrets they keep—adds a layer of complexity that I couldn’t get enough of. The stakes are high, the tension is sizzling, and just when you think you know where the story is going, another twist leaves you reeling.
Little Rejects is a dark, thrilling, and provocative read that challenges the boundaries of conventional romance. It’s fierce, passionate, and will leave you wondering just what these men—and the heroine—are truly capable of. The emotional payoff is well worth the ride, and if you’re in the mood for something that blends passion with danger, this book is a must-read.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – A fiery, emotional rollercoaster that will keep you hooked from start to finish!.
In the small town of Jefferson, Cheri (h) has always been an outsider, a survivor of loss and a target of judgment from a community that prides itself on appearances. She’s tough, self-reliant, and determined to escape the town’s suffocating grip. But when a late-night encounter at the gas station where she works pulls her into the lives of the infamous "Jefferson Rejects," everything changes. Cal (H), Tieran (H), and Milo (H) are outlaws with reputations as dangerous as they are alluring. On the run after a high-stakes heist, they refuse to leave without Cheri, the woman they’ve secretly wanted for years. The trio whisks Cheri away to a remote cabin, where the bonds between them deepen in the face of their shared vulnerability and past trauma. Cal, the dominant and protective leader, Tieran, the playful and intense charmer, and Milo, the sensitive and deeply emotional anchor, each bring their unique dynamic to their relationship with Cheri. They all share a complicated but fierce devotion to her, rooted in years of silently loving her from the edges of their lives. Forced into their world of secrets and risks, Cheri discovers the fierce loyalty and unexpected tenderness hidden beneath their rough exteriors. As their shared pasts collide with an uncertain future, things heat up, and emotions run high. Caught between her longing for freedom and the unshakable bond forming between her and the three men, Cheri has to decide if she’s willing to risk everything for love and for the chance to finally belong. Ultra-hot and steamy, gritty, intense RH, exploring love, connection, found family, belonging, loyalty, protection, and security.
I know this book was relatively short, a little taste of what Airicka Phoenix is capable of, but I wish so badly that it was longer. I don’t think I’ve ever finished a book so quickly, reading whilst nibbling my fingers because it’s just that good. The story, the characters, the setting—I was in love within the first few pages.
I’m a mask lover, a harem lover, and so on and so forth. This book had “trigger warnings”, but I like to consider it a checklist. 😂 This is a book I would love to see as an audio piece, I would love to see character art, and I’d love to read it all over again just to be introduced to the boys once more.
The FMC was a rather interesting lady, and I happened to enjoy the moments of comedy where she tried to minimize how much she cussed, or the way she would come back to reality when she realized what she’d done was a bit on the freaky/weird side. She was a goofball with a temper that rivaled a bear, but an emotional side that kept a person on their toes.
The boys were amazing, I love their dynamic. I wish I had more detail involving their backstories—I wish I had more stories involving all four of the characters, if I’m honest. The guys each had their quirks, their own unique reason to favor them over the other—but they worked so well as a team that favorites were kind of hard to choose.
A definite read if you’re in the market for a short thrill!.

This novella has an amazing cover and is about 3 MMC, Cal, Tieran and Milo, who are like brother, are outsiders and trouble. The MFC, Cherie who has always been an outcast and bullied. The 3 MMC have always been there to have Cherie’s back and protect her since she was younger and all through school. They were her only friends and she was theirs. The older she got she started developing feelings for them.
Fast forward to after they are out of school, Cherie was working at gas station one night when she was kidnapped by 3 masked men, who ended up being the 3 men she fantasized about. Ending up at a cabin during a snow storm things get very heated.
This was a fast, short read for me with little plot and a lot of spice. A twisted love story with triggers that may be sensitive to other readers. I enjoyed the depth of the characters and how they all were connected to each other, but for myself, I would have liked a little more storyline. If you are one who loves tropes reverse harem, why choose, a band of misfits, found family and kinks then you will want to read. I enjoyed the read, liked the idea of the story, would have loved more depth. 3.5 stars

REVIEW
This is obviously a very smutty ARC but I’m so, so happy there was some backstories to the three brothers who went through many hardships throughout life. As did Cheri who they soon very quickly took under their wing.
They offered her their protection throughout the years since they grew up together and attended the same school. No one dares fuck with the three Reject brothers.
I absolutely adored the relationship between Cheri, Cal, Tieran & Milo.
Sweet Milo 🥺 the softest of the bunch.
Savage Cal 🥵 he and Tieran are toe to toe on who’s the hottest. The way Cal handles everything has me flushed. I love a man who takes control.
Beautiful Tieran 😻 he’s so enamoured with Cheri and obsessed. Like Cal, he likes to take control while also giving her what she wants/needs inside and outside of the sheets.
I’m obsessed with all 3 and I need more books of them ASAP please, please, please!!
I saw little to none grammar issues, proving that this was very well edited for an ARC!
TROPES: ~friends to lovers ~reverse harem (no MM) ~forced proximity/snowed in ~triggers GALORE!
Ahhh, I loved this novella! It was pure porn! Haha. The heroine is working when three men come in wearing masks to rob the place. She ends up dry humping one of them, without knowing they were her friends. She's then kidnapped and taken to a cabin where things get HOT.
I really liked this one. If you're looking for pure porn/little to no plot, you'll love this.

Cherie has lived in this small town for most of her life. But the day her parents died the town seems to have rejected her and it got worse after her grandmother died too. She is looking to make enough money to leave the town. She's working on a gas station and trying to keep her Santa person persona but the people make it difficult. Then one couple causes her to lose her job. As she's closing someone heads in and she finds out there are three of them. She recognizes who has a hold of her. Then she realizes who the other 2 are. Tiernan, Cal and Milo have know Cherie ask their lives. They became her champions as they grew up. They, too, like her are rejects of their small town. They did a job and are in their way out when they go out of their way to get her. Their main objective was to make sure she went with them. They grow closer as each day passes. Then she hears something that makes her angry and she confronts them. Will they get the issue figured out? Or will she lose the only makes she's ever wanted. A beautiful but gritty story that will grab at the heart.

A Spicy, Short, and Sweet Ride with the Perfect Rejects
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Heat Level: 🔥🔥🔥🔥 📚E-BOOK📚
Little Rejects by Airicka Phoenix is a short but oh-so-satisfying RH smutty read that delivers on both the spice and the heart. This story brings together misfit friends who found solace in each other and fell deeply in love—an irresistible mix of heat, devotion, and unbreakable bonds.
We first met Cherrie in Unwrapping Deviance, but now, we finally get her story—the one where she reunites with her three high school crushes, Cal, Tieran, and Milo. Their unwavering protection and love for her, even before things turned sinful between the sheets, was heart-meltingly sweet. I won’t lie—there were a few moments that made me shed a tear or two.
Airicka Phoenix’s writing is always dripping in kink, yet she does it so beautifully. The connection between Cherrie and her men is intense, raw, and utterly addictive. My only complaint? I needed more! I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to these characters.
If you love fast-paced, steamy RH romances with a touch of emotional depth and all the right kinds of filth, Little Rejects is a must-read!
Thoughts: I loved the dark humour in this novel. Like any good reverse harem, all three are so different that they fill different voids in Cheri’s soul. It’s also high spice with all the individual and group fun you could want. I love Airicka’s descriptions they are so expressive-her ability to convey emotions was so amazing. I went through the full gamut of happy, crying and laughing out loud. This one is Super spicy and as an untouched virgin, she’s able to give each of the boys one of her first experiences. It was a sweet and raunchy love story times three.
🛑Please read all the author warnings as themes and events depicted in this book could be triggering. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
In Little Rejects, Airicka Phoenix has created a dark romance that begins with a woman’s kidnapping by three masked men and she develops unexpected connections in a secluded, snowbound cabin. The story digs into captivity and desire, and Wren’s struggle to understand the shifting dynamics between herself and her captors. The author’s writing style is a combination of story progression and the use of intense scenes that have a high level of sexual tension. The prose is straightforward and effective in its attempt to place the reader inside the head of the protagonist as she struggles through this story. This might be interesting to those who enjoy stories that are more sexually intense and explore the psychological aspect of characters along with the physical.
If you are looking for a romance that breaks the rules and examines the ugly side of relationships, then Little Rejects is a bold take on the passion and control.

Little Rejects—is a dark, reverse harem romance by Airicka Phoenix. The story is about Cheri, Callum, Tieran, and Milo who form a bond despite their own personal traumas in life.
Cheri loses her parents while still in school, and the boys don’t really have any family to speak of. The boys are drawn to Cheri’s light, and she says that they’re the closest things to friends she has. Cheri describes the boys as “wild, violent, and dripping with sin.” In a family-focused and “holy community” like Jefferson, that makes them all outcasts.
Without giving too much away-while working at a gas station one night, Cheri is kidnapped by masked men and experiences several wide awakenings (giggidy goo) along the way.
Remember that in the end, you may not get what’s considered to be the “ideal” family, but you get the family that’s just right for you!
As part of the BookTok community, I can say wholeheartedly that I was waiting for a novella exactly like this, and Airicka Phoenix delivered!
Having heard positive reviews about Airicka Phoenix’s books, I decided to start with Little Rejects—a short read that fit perfectly between longer books on my TBR. It was certainly worth it.
Phoenix crafts a dark, fast-paced romance centered on Cherrie, a young woman who has always felt like an outcast in her small community. Her only allies are three boys who share her status as outsiders. When she finds herself kidnapped by the very people she once trusted, emotions and buried secrets come to the surface.
The novella’s brevity keeps the plot moving quickly, making it an engaging read. Phoenix’s writing style is compelling, and while the story focuses on intense emotions and relationships, it maintains moments of lightheartedness, particularly through Cherrie’s unique quirks. However, some aspects—especially the characters’ backstories and motivations—could have been explored in greater depth.
Overall, Little Rejects delivers an intriguing mix of romance, tension, and nostalgia for lost connections. Though short, it offers an enjoyable glimpse into a complex relationship dynamic. Fans of dark romance looking for a quick yet captivating read will find it worthwhile.
Cheri is living out all of our smutty masked men loving, why-choose yearning, snowed-in slutty dreams and will have you jealous (and mildly questioning therapy) from the first chapter in the best way! And don't worry... Teiran, Milo and Cal are certainly not little and are most definitely not rejected by their sassy lil' spitfire!
After reading these 93 pages, are you seriously going to want to be pinned down by a masked man on the floor of a gas station before c*mming on his leg "like some horny Chihuahua"... F*ck yeah you are. IYKYK and Airicka clearly knows that we all appreciate a FMC that doesn't spend half of the book pretending she doesn't want his friends too ;)
No third-act break-ups, No shame and No way I'm not re-reading these scenes over and over again!
Happy reading Mon Chérie <3

4.5 ⭐️ Airicka has done it again! I loved this story! The found family, the broody men, the sharing and why choose, the friendship, all of it. The MFC Cheri, is a sarcastic, tough and funny young woman who has no one in her life except these three rejects who she’s known a long time. The 3 MMCs are the town rejects with no family and no one to care except each other and Cheri who has always been obsessed with them as they are with her, but of course they had never told each other. The MMCs decide that they all want her and make the rules to share her, they kidnap her and then spend days torturing her with orgasm after orgasm, the poor girl 😮💨 how terrible for her 🤭 The spice is really very delicious but do check the trigger warnings in case you find some of it a bit much. The ending was satisfying and I can only imagine the glorious bodily fluid filled lives these 4 will lead now with each other. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review
Little Rejects by Airicka Phoenix is a sizzling, fast-paced read that delivers exactly what it promises—an escape into an intensely steamy world filled with passion and heat.
The story begins with Cheri navigating an ordinary, frustrating day at work, setting the stage for a relatable introduction before plunging into a whirlwind of spice. From there, the story kicks into high gear as Cheri's interactions with Cal, Milo, and Tieran take readers on a rollercoaster of desire, intensity, and unexpected twists.
She masterfully blends engaging characters with an unapologetically spicy narrative, making this book a fantastic break from reality. It's the kind of story you can devour in one sitting, with its easy-to-follow plot and captivating steamy scenes.
If you're looking for a quick, sultry escape, Little Rejects delivers in spades. Cheri's journey with Cal, Milo, and Tieran will leave you breathless and craving more. Highly recommend for fans of bold, steamy romance!
**Read the Triggers Warnings on this one. It is reads like a menu for all dark romance girlies. It is a Why Choose, RH filled with soo much smut that is surprising how it fit into a super quick read with less than 100 pages. But the story somehow seems like a longer tale. The brief glimpses into the past that tells the story of the main MMCs and the FMC history together. Cherie, Cal, Tieran and Milo, this is their origin story.
That said, this is a super spicy, quick and to the point smutty read that has a bit of a plot. It is not meant to delve into raw deep emotional trauma even though it is explained and touched upon. I believe this was a smutty tale that can potentially lead to a bigger full length Book. You hot spicy, OTT unhinged mask men who are all obsessed with same woman and are willing to share her with each other? This one is for you;)
I am giving my honest review and I rcvd this as a advanced reader copy.
