Suburban Harem: An MFF Slice of Life Romance

by Pierce Mikkelson

‘Do you know the old saying, “Be careful what you wish for”?’

Bill Masters runs his own business and sees himself as a good man. He is married to Becky, a passionate woman with a wild side. She is always pushing him to be more adventurous, so when he admits to a fantasy of having two women, Becky is determined to make it happen.

Enter Sarah, a divorced brunette whose little boy goes to the same school as Bill and Becky’s little girl. Sarah is beautiful, she is lonely, and Becky befriends her with the intention of engineering a threesome with Bill. Sarah is unsure at first, but she finally overcomes her scruples and says yes. That’s when Becky realises the truth of 'Be careful what you wish for' and she changes her mind.

But passions released are not so easily contained. Sarah is not as passive as Becky thinks and she is furious at being toyed with. Meanwhile, Bill struggles with an awakened desire for another woman. Can a man love two women and still be a good man? And what happens in the real world when a fantasy comes true?

Suburban Harem is a multi-POV, explicit, MFF menage romance with emotional drama, no cheating, and a HEA.

[Tim · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found Suburban Harem to be an interesting read. It wasn’t anything like I was expecting based on the title. It was a thoughtful and thought-provoking look at an unusual lifestyle that is often only portrayed in a lascivious manner. Usual the subject is presented from a puritanical standpoint condemning the lifestyle with wooden characters that are more likely to be caricatures. Or the story is simply presented for its pornographic value.
Pierce Mikkelson’s characters, on the other hand, are presented in a very real-world manner. They have their fears, desires, and needs presented respectfully and thoroughly. He explores the pitfalls and benefits of polyamorous relationships in detail.

I went into this expecting pure fan service, but it turned out to be more emotionally grounded than anticipated—at least at first. The story opens with a thoughtful exploration of how genuine romantic feelings can grow out of physical intimacy, even when logic is actively trying to keep emotions at bay, and this central idea largely works.
Some of the caveman allegories, which become more frequent as the book progresses, are… rough. Their self-awareness doesn’t really soften the cringe.
Pierce Mikkelson absolutely nails the pacing: never dragging or rushing. The emotional beats are hit-or-miss—some land with precision, while others veer into melodrama—but overall the story flows effortlessly. The ending does feel a little rushed, though this is more of a nitpick than a dealbreaker.
Mikkelson’s grounded, natural writing style makes this slice-of-life romance an easy, charming read. It’s light, cute, and fitting for getting out of a reading slump.
