This book is a crime.
Why?
Because it should have been longer! Only 129 pages but I ate up EVERY WORD!!!
It’s not usual for me to rate a novella 5 stars, but this book was worthy of it. The smut was great, I enjoyed the characters, and I loved the mini side plot. A lot of times, a novella feels rushed, but I felt like this one was paced very well!
Ashmine (FMC) was transferred to an abusive foster home in her teens when she met the MMCs: Ace, Silas, and Hawk. They are not blood related but they do share a close bond from being in an abusive foster home together. All three of them sheltered her so they never truly realized who she was under the “innocent” facade she played.
However, even though all the guys loved Ashmine (more than you should love a foster sister), she broke their hearts. Now, after all the boys went their separate ways, they are back at once for revenge years later. Although, is Ashmine really the one at fault here in the situation or is there a darker mystery that has to be unraveled?😉
Needless to say, I throughly enjoyed this quick read. It’s smutty, gory, unhinged, and action packed. I mean, this book was so hot I was literally sweating at 3am on a Friday night while reading it🤣 Unhinged, but it was delicious😋
Note: This book is a stand alone in a shared world but you don’t have to read the previous books in order to understand this one.
Tropes + Kinks + TW
• Unhinged FMC
• Masked MMCs
• Light primal play
• Virgin h + 1 Virgin H
• Disability rep- one H is deaf in one ear
• Taboo- all are previous foster siblings and they do refer to each other as sister/ brother sometimes
• RH (3 men, no MM)
• Forceful removal of an IUD by an MMC (she got off on the pain😭)
• Pain kink
• Gory (like putting a grater up the a$$ of a bad guy kind of gory)
• CNC and Dub Con
• MMC forced to have sex with FMC by a third party in the past
• Child abuse
• Mention of SA’ing women and wanting to SA the FMC in the r@pist’s POV. (Only a few POVs by him and they are short)
• Forced Breeding + Breeding Kink
• Blackmail
• Talk of attempted suicide and SH by one H
(I may have forgotten a few but the author has a summarized list of TWs in the front of the book)
Safety:
• virgin h, one virgin H + never even went down on a girl because he only had eyes for the h (past timeline but H has only been with the h and the h slept with the other two Hs after approval from H1), no info on other two MMCs
• no OW!!!!🥳
• OM- she is “dating” a professor but he has ill intentions towards her. The situation is not what it seems and OM is taken care of. She does not do anything sexual with OM but he wants to go further (with or without her consent)
• separation- all were foster siblings in their teen years and had feelings for one another, but didn’t do anything together until two years after leaving the foster home. There was a 4(?) year separation between when the h slept with them and the present timeline. No info on if H2 and H3 were with others or if they were virgins. I don’t think they were but there was zero info on their past.
• no condoms and no discussion of if they were clean, breeding kink, forced removal of IUD + epilogue pregnancy

ARC review: book 5 of the St. valentine's series.
Well well well! Masked why choose? Yes. 100% yes. Every. Single. Time.
Lies. Revenge. Redemption. Morally grey FEMALE! This book has all of my favorite triggers.
Definitely check your triggers. This book is dark. Ends in an HEA.

Goodness! This one was spicy, hot, and a lot fucked you and yes I loved every moment of it 🔥🔥🔥🔥 do not read if you don't like a femme fatale and 3 hot men who are unapologetically sometimes dicks! While this one does take place on St. Valentine's, it follows Ash and the guys than the plot of the university. I enjoyed reading this one because it was fast, writing was good, and there was no nonsense.

5☆ Review
As always please read the trigger warnings.
Ashmine - Was a foster child with three hot foster brothers, they was protecting her from their step father, one who was a cruel man! She has some trauma from her foster parent.
Ashmine loved her foster brothers, she had feelings for all three of them.
They get separated and later on find their way back to each other.
When one secret comes to light can things change?
Silas, Ace and Hawke - Are foster brothers, they didn't have the best life growing up with their foster dad, it was the three of them until one day when Ashmine came into their family, they used their protective brotherness to protect her, one by one they fell in love with her.
When one traumatic life brings the four together, can they live their life in their own bubble, just the 4 of them.
Did someone say a Masked man? Being chased in the woods? And the winner who catches Ashmine gets to fu*k her? YES.. YES THEY DID!!
This is a beautifully written masked man novel with a why choose storyline, with deliciously dark and spicy scenes!
This isn't the first novel of this authors I have read and it most certainly won't be the last!.
This is book #5 in the St Valentines series!
I need more!! But it Is a standalone novel

I absolutely loved this book !!!! I couldn’t stop reading and wondering what would happen next! The twist and turns in this book was amazing and I loved getting to know each and every character and their story’s !!
Always being thrown from family to family they felt like the never had any really family untill they met eachother !! And even though their foster father was not a nice person they took it into their own hand to take care of it !!
Even after some things happened and they ended up being split up in the end they all got back together each one of the boys loved her in a different way and she loved each one of them !!
Loved this book !!

Another book I just absolutely loved by Sage!! It can be read in just a day as it's a Novella. We're following Ashmine and her 3 foster brothers, Ace, Silas, and Hawk. They went through hell as teenagers but survived. So much was unpacked in this short little book. Then the twist that I somehow didn't see coming! Ashmine is a badass. ALSO, I can't forget to mention the description of the peeler and animal trap. HOLY SH*T. Talk about a mouth drop and even a wince!! Check y'alls TW before reading! Enjoy guys!

Thank you so much to the author for the earc, all opinions are my own.
The is a dark romance with a long list of tw, be sure to check those over if you are concerned, I found myself wincing and struggling a few times!
We open the book by this foster sibling quad (3 boys, 1 girl) being abused by their "father." Years later, the girl, Ashmine, is in university and planning on taking her boyfriend to a secluded cabin to finally show him how much she loves him. Except she's hunting him. Cue her foster siblings showing up and a whole lot of questionable things.

Rating ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Hawk, Silas, Ace & Ashmine were foster siblings, bonded over the trauma of the awful house their love in and escaped. The boys kept Ashmine safe and ported her at all costs. But she could not get them to see her and she needed them to know who she really was. Before they could bind they were torn apart and the boys wanted their revenge for her deceit.
Nothing is as it seems in this in this action pack novella. It will keep you on your toes.

Dark. Twisted. Murderous. Sexy. Down right DIRTY.
I did not know this was a part of a series but let me tell you, I was HOT for this one. The pages kept turning and this book was entirely waaaaaay too short! I want to know more details and other fun ways Ashmine can take her men. This is definitely a SMUT book and I am here for it 👏🏼
There was definitely some twists and turns to the plot and everything kind of fell into place! The potato peeler was definitely unexpected and creative 🤣

Why choose
This book is very interesting and a girl loves a why choose. Ashmine is not the girl they think she is. Hawk, Ace, and Silas are 3 foster brothers who want to protect their foster sister. But to their surprise, she betrayed them, and years later, they want revenge.
Ashmine is not like others Fmc. She is unhinged and will do what needs to be done for her family. She doesn't apologize for who she is and who she wants.

Book 8 of the St. Valentines interconnected novella series.
Who doesn’t love a strong morally grey FMC, a why choose romance and add in being chased through the woods by 3 hot masked men… yes please!
I had no idea where this book was taking us in the start. The back and forth from past to present kept me wanting more and I just couldn’t read fast enough to learn everything. Except maybe the whole peeler thing 😳 This book did not disappoint!

Omg. Can you have a crush on the FMC!? Because I do. 🥵
Masked men. Why choose. Yep, this was the hottest and spiciest part of the series hands down! Me oh my. Read your trigger warnings people! Just saying. Traumatic pasts bring four foster kids together. They happen to be three dudes who can be completely and utterly ducks but hey they need love to. Ash is amazing! She really overcame a lot and held herself pretty well. I'm obsessed!
Thank you for the ARC opportunity!

Amazing!
This story was a rollercoaster ride that I didn’t want to end. I enjoyed that it left on a hea which made it worth it! I fell in love with the MMCS and was shocked when the FMC wasn’t the sweet innocent girl she pretended to be.

Cute, quick read
Cute isn't probably the correct word for this story, but to me, it was. This is also the first time I have read about Ashmine and her brothers, and needless to say, I'm going to be reading more of their tales.

Well I can’t say no to masked men, but also hello morally grey FMC! Reading this series and this is the first where the lady gets dirty. This one is dark, suspense, twists and turns and hands down a very captivating read! That potato peeler though!!!!!!!
March 1, 2025
I might be a bit biased because I am a sucker for anything by Sage! This girl knows how to do fast-paced, why choose romance. This is a fast-paced, taboo romance with 3 MMCs. Chock full of anger, revenge, and SPICE!
March 30, 2025
So I realized I read this,DEVOURED it and didn’t post a review. What can I say? This story reminded me of why Sage RelleAnne is one of my FAVE why choose dark romance authors! Depraved,and hot,and a little 🔪 to boot!
March 31, 2025
Whewwwwwww!
This was such a quick, DARK, and spicy read! I love how Sage has a way with the plans and how they beautifully fall in to place making sense- like a AH HA moment.
I don’t want to give too much away but I wont be able to look at a potato peeler the same again. 🤭

This book took a lotttt of twists and turns for a short novella! This is a spicy hot momma for sure! Also read your trigger warnings! This is a MFMM and I absolutely loved that! I really liked the MFC! This had a really good plot to be such a short book as well!
February 22, 2025
So much was happening ! you were never left with a dull moment. Short steamy sinister must read.
February 23, 2025
This book is my favourite of the series it's dark and spicy found family why choose and hopeful
February 23, 2025
This was the first I’ve read by this author. I loved it. I was a little leery of it because the guys’ chapters were third person while Ashmine’s was in first person. But, it flowed well. Hawk, Silas, and Ace are your typical alphaholes. They find out that Ashmine isn’t as sweet and innocent as she looks.
June 23, 2025
dark and spicy
A quick read. It’s dark and spicy. These four have an incredible bond but can they forgive betrayal or will their need for vengeance overcome them?

February 10, 2025
Oh…we're suckers for a why-choose pickle. Bring on the dark FMC, they're just as drool-worthy as the MMCs! Spicy and finger-licking. Perfect ending. No cliffhanger!!
