About the author

Bestselling author Maelana Nightingale writes romance that bleeds, breathes, and burns—stories where love is messy, healing is hard, and desire is sacred.

Her novels span contemporary found-family romances, dark and taboo stories, and sweeping romantic fantasy, united by raw emotion and unflinching realism. Known for intimate, character-driven storytelling, her work explores connection, power, and trust in ways that feel lived-in rather than performative—and never shies away from the complicated edges of love.

A nurse by trade and storyteller by soul, she brings authenticity to every page—from medical precision to the psychology of trauma, trust, and connection. When she’s not writing, she’s usually wrangling one of her five children or navigating the controlled chaos of her corporate healthcare day job.

I am convinced that this author's talent is limitless. There's nothing she can't write. In this trilogy Alexis's life falls apart in a spectacular (highly public, humiliating, embarrassing...) way. She picks up the pieces and moves on, but she doesn't do it alone. It's all about finding that love is limitless. It just keeps growing...

Unfortunately, this trilogy just wasn't for me. I read about the first 30%, then mostly skimmed the rest. I was pretty sure I wasnt going to like it immediately, but kept pushing through as ive been in the biggest slump ever!!
I hated the fmc! She was too conceited about her looks. Her inner thoughts were about how she hated all the male attention she garnered. Even said how other girls hated her, but didn't know why!! Maybe because she was so full of herself! But as i kept reading it was more the bedroom stuff that was what bothered me. I knew it had bdsm aspects from the trigger warnings, but was hoping it would just be one of the mmcs that enjoyed it, so it would be less frequent and I could just skip it. It wasn't. Four out of the five mmcs were into varying degrees of it, and while I have no issue with it, I just don't want to read about it either.
Otherwise it was well written and the story flowed. I just found it boring as it was just about their day to day working lives and not much else. The biggest issue they faced was working out how to be ok with sharing and making sure they had equal time with her. I prefer my RH stories to have more of a cohesive relationship rather than seperate ones.
Overall, I'd reccomed this to people who like less action and BDSM in books their books.

Better the second time around!

I had already read the original trilogy, but the omnibus was a perfect revisit to these characters. This is the most realistic why choose I have ever read. Yes, they don't have to worry about money, but there's no mafia or dark romance, no crazily unrealistic storylines - just six people that figure out how to exist together.

The spice escalates throughout the trilogy, so throughout the omnibus as well. And the spice is real and beautiful, but so are the authentic relationships and the way they all communicate with each other. I read another review that called this a non-toxic reverse harem and that's exactly what it is. It is very refreshing in the why choose genre and truly a polyamory love story with authentic relationships and communication.

This RH is my TOP FAVORITE!! Each of the characters are so dynamic and unique. I could tell whose POV I was read just based on the way it was written. I feel like I KNOW them!

I read this series as it was released and DEVOURED the bonus content included in the omnibus. It felt like getting to spend time with my friends again. 💖🔥

10/10 recommend!
5⭐️ 4🌶️ (it gets spicier as you go)

*Check CW* This is not a “dark” romance but there are tropes and explicit themes that some may not prefer.

I was lucky enough to find the omnibus version of this trilogy which included all 3 books and bonus chapters. I could not put this why chose romance down, and was sad when it ended! I loved how FMC Alexis had a unique relationship with each of the 5 males as each coupling was beautiful. Oh …. and the things they did together in 2’s, 3’s, all the way to all 6 …. just …. WOW! Definitely recommend.
