The Denver Dragons legacy continues...
I was born in a life of luxury. The daughter of a hockey legend of the Denver Dragons and of a pop star icon. I’m determined to make my own way in my career. I work hard; I do everything right. Which is why I guess the public calls me a good girl. But I’m not. Not really. Because I’ve recently found myself involved with two men. My childhood best friend, hockey player, Grayson Wheeler and bad boy MMA fighter, Asher Hudson. They may not get along, but they have one thing in common that none of us can deny. They both want me.
They aren’t the only ones. Someone else is in the shadows watching me, wanting me. and I can feel their eyes on me even when I’m alone.

First when I started reading this I felt like this could be part of a bigger world...but of course it actually is. I went and looked after I was done reading and I am so excited to read about all of their parents...because this is a legacy series. I feel really kinda not bright right now. I am also excited that there is so many books planned for this series and there is an uncaged duet! I need to read them all because I was obsessed with this one.
First I love that we see Rae really finds herself over the course of her book. Not only in her music more and more but who she really is and what she really wants. And it really is because of our boy Asher. Our MMA fighter who ends up getting hurt. The boy who left home and didn't ever plan on coming back. Who has that more tragic past. The bad boy.
Then we have Grayson. The best friend. Also, his family is a friend of her family. And he is a huge golden retriever who will do anything for her. I love him. I also love how while they all know each other that really Grayson and Asher are not friends really themselves and they really have to find that common ground for Rae. When we have the why choose/poly relationship dynamic in books a lot of the times it seems that the relationship dynamic is always set in stone with friendship a lot of the times on the guys side of things and it isn't really in this one so we also see how their relationship is over time as well. I would have liked to see how it develops more over time. I am hoping in subsequent books with other siblings we do get to see this in passing as well.
Overall I loved this I can't wait for more.
Thank you to The Smuthood for the complimentary copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Asher is our bad boy vibe while Grayson is the good boy, sweet & talk you through it type! Rae the star that she is!! Watching the relationship between her & the guys change & grow, then seeing them become part of it all for her, swoooon!! These 3 had so much chemistry and I was here for it all!
The added suspense to this one gave it a little something extra and just made this whole book such a fun, steamy, and well done work of art!! Next book please!!! 🤭🙌🏻
Thank you Madi & team for this early ALC copy!

Thank you to the author for the ARC! 🧡
Double Interference is an MFM, why choose, hockey romance that I had so much fun diving into! I loved getting to follow Rae, Asher, and Grayson on their unconventional journey of finding love. Before diving into this, I have yet to read the original series! However, given that I enjoyed this, I would love to go back and read it whenever I get the chance! One thing in particular that I loved was how the topic of polyamory was approached and represented. I was also excited that I predicted who the 'gift-giver' was almost immediately. I almost never guess plot twists correctly, so it's always exciting when I manage to piece the context clues together. AND YALL... This book was HOTTT!!! Just letting you know. 😂 Overall, I had a great time diving into Double Interference, and I cannot wait for the next one!

I’m just going to dive into this one. If you want something that’s fast paced, more character focused, and has lots of spice, this one’s for you. I think this story was still good, especially listening to the audiobook, but it’s something to pass the time. I did find it juvenile and lacking substance or plot.
Personally, for my taste, I wanted more. It had the potential for a suspenseful plot, especially with the stalker element, but it was obvious who was behind it. It has the good girl x bad boy dynamic, and Rae wants to discover who she is. At the start of this book, she’s a little lost especially when it comes to love and music. But discovering herself was 95% sexual and 5% exploring her new sound. With her wanting and needing both the MMC’s. All three are trying to understand their feelings and the dynamic of the relationship. Asher has some past trauma, and Grayson is a hockey player who has always loved his best friend. I did find it a bit too fast paced for my liking, and the building of the relationships fell a little flat. I wanted more connection and backstory between them to ground that connection. There isn’t much else going on, and I found myself wanting more from the story.
I will say the audiobook was brilliant such a great cast for the characters. But I think if I’d read this in ebook or physical format without the audiobook, I may have DNF’d it.
As mentioned, I liked the characters, the audiobook, and the spice, so this will get three stars from me, but it’s not a memorable read.

Review of advance copy received from Author
DEAR GAWD! MADI. MISS MA'AM! WHAT ACTUAL CRACK DID YOU PUT IN THIS BOOK & AUDIOBOOK?! I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT!
Audio: Dear GEEZUS. I may need to be doused in holy water after that audio because it damn near set my AirPods on fire. It is deliciously HAWT! Multicast duet narration?! This is the best thing I can imagine for this story & blessss did Autumn Mercer, Brandon Francis, & Ryan Lee Dunlap do this story absolute justice! They were perfection for these characters and bringing them to life! They gave it everything they had I swear! I cannot stress enough how much I loved this audio! One of my top audios of the year for sure, if not all time. Avery Caris & Patrick Zeller also appear in it & deliver top tier narration, as they always do!
Story: Not much hits as hard as a Madi Danielle "why choose", & this one hit HARD! I fell so hard for Rae, Grayson, & Asher! Rae with her good girl persona but wanting to find herself outside of that image, Grayson with his adoration for Rae & her happiness, & Asher with his damaged bad boy persona (my cat nip!). While Rae & Grayson have been best friends their entire lives, so they had that foundation, Asher was a bit of an outsider of the big found family (Audrey's half brother, wasn't around until he was 15ish). When he saunters back into Rae's orbit wanting a bit of fun, he sets off a chain of events that leads them ALL to each other, & some of the hottest chemistry! They are insanely hot, not only when 1-on-1 with Rae, but all together as well. It is MFM, in case you need to know. Also, Grayson & Asher taunting each other made me giggle & kick my feet because YASSS RAE! REAP THOSE BENEFITS GURL!
As mentioned, their chemistry, the touch of thrill/suspense (saw it coming but still gasped out loud!), the spice, the way they all grow together & bring out the best in each other, ugh just so frikkin good! I could talk about them all night.
I will not give spoilers, but I will continue to shout from the rooftops that you need this one in your life! Also, HIGHLY recommend (it's a MUST) that you need to immersive read this one! They story is so good, but the audio takes it to a whole new level of amazingness!
PS: The end of the epilogue?? GIMMIE next book right meow! There were so many hints throughout the entire book as to what's to come with this series, & I cannot wait to see them all get their HEAs!
**Thank you to Madi & Must Love Audio for the ARC & ALC opportunities!!**

📚 BOOK REVIEW 📚
Double Interference @madidaniellewrites
This was my first read by this author and I enjoyed this why choose romance. It was a different take on the genre and I liked how it was written.
I was drawn in by the cover which is what made me pick up this book in the first place. But when I started reading I found I fell hard for all three characters.
Rae Sparks is famous singer and a Nepo baby but she is struggling to find herself. Asher who is a cage fighter really encourages her to come out of her comfort zone but he has a past that he struggles to move on from. And then there is her best friend who has been in love with her forever, Grayson, the hockey player.
I loved that all 3 characters were established in their own rights and they all had things they were dealing with but when they all came together it was just right.
The rivarly and banter between Asher and Grayson was fun and I liked that they were different but they were both gone for Rae and would do anything for her.
The relationship felt realistic because although the book is spicy it felt like a natural progression for their relationship to get to where it did.
I will definitely read other books from this author as I really enjoyed this one.

Thank you MLA for the ALC of Double Interference!
Holy mother of hotness. This book was the hottest book I have read in a long time, and whew it was so good! It was so good I finished this audio in ONE DAY. Hats off to you, Madi!! I absolutely LOVED that Grayson was just a sweet angel, praise heavy babe and that Asher was the complete opposite, everything bad boy x degradation! I really love the relationship building in this story, especially because there was no force to make Grayson and Asher be friends just for Rae. It was the realization that Rae wanted two completely opposite things, and both could feed those what’s and needs. It was just making sure that she had everything she deserved! Also the little stalker add on - perfect little heart racing situation! This was my first Madi book, and it certainly will NOT be the last. 🔥
Autumn Mercer, Ryan Lee Dunlap, and Brandon Francis BLEW this audio right now out the water. They absolutely took my breath away and brought this story to life. The addition of Avery Caris and Patrick Zeller was *chef’s kiss* 💋

Good spice to plot ratio and an enjoyable listen!
Rae Culver is a popstar who lives her life by a set of rules and very rarely strays from the norm. Her best friend is a star hockey player who likes things just as neat and orderly as she does. What Rae doesn't know is her bff has been crushing, and well maybe she has been too. Raes life is about to be turned upside down when she meets an MMA Fighter who teaches her she may enjoy things a bit more devious that she initially thought.
Grayson Wheeler, Raes bff (crush?) And Hockey Player. The good guy. The team player. And the man who never thought he might one day end up in a polyamorous relationship.
Asher Sutton. MMA Fighter. Bad Boy. And BOSSY 🥵 Have to say Asher definitely stole the show for me, especially in the way he is able to break Rae AND Grayson out of their shells.
What you can expect:
💋 Hockey Player
💋 MMA Fighter
💋 Popstar FMC
💋 Why Choose/MFM
💋 Friends to Lovers
💋 "Good Girl"
💋 Pierced MMC
💋 Degradation Kink

We meet music superstar Rae, who comes from a big family. Her mom is also a music legend and her father was a professional hockey player. Her best friend Grayson plays hockey as well. She has big feelings for him and doesn't know what tp do about it. Grayson has been in love with Rae for years and he plans on doing smtg about it. We then meet Asher, he was around Denver as a teen and left when he could to escape his youth. He is a MMA fighter but a torn shoulder ends him in surgery and recovery in Denver. After seeing Rae in concert he has new motive to back. Rae and Grayson finally admit their feelings for one another but Asher os the wild card. He makes Rae feel sexy and wants to see where it goes. One thing for sure, can Rae handle Grayson and Asher together?

The way I absolutely ate this up. Second gen stories always have a soft spot in my heart, and this ticked all my boxes. Rae, Asher, and Grayson were perfect and I absolutely ate the dynamic up. The good boy x bad boy vibes helped Rae get the best of both worlds. This was hot. So hot. My soul left my body multiple times hot. The suspense plot in the background was just enough to keep me guessing.
The narrators also did an amazing job narrating this. The tension and heat was portrayed in a way that had me so immersed in the story - I couldn't stop listening!

🎧 Absolutely one of my favorite audiobooks of the year!! 🎧
✨ MFM romance
🥊 injured MMA fighter MMC
🏒 Pro hockey player MMC
🎤 Pop-star FMC
🥊 Bad boy & Good girl
🏒 Childhood friends to lovers
🎤 2nd generation from Denver Dragons
✨ he wears glasses
Double Interference captured my heart immediately and still has it in its little dragon claws!
This book was so well balanced, from the sweet and swoony dynamic between Grayson & Rae, then the darker cat & mouse vibes between Asher & Rae… I was hooked. The differences between the guys was like good cop/bad cop at times and then they would surprise me and switch it up and I was SO here for it!! I loved how she got something so different from each man, and that the MMCs had complete storylines of their own too!
I have to add the disclaimer that I am a tough critic of MFM romances because a lot of times there’s a chemistry between the MMCs that leaves me wondering why it wasn’t MMF instead, or I feel like one person is left out of the group at any given time. I did not have either of those issues here! The way that Madi wrote the banter and competition between Asher & Grayson was perfect and added so much humor to the dynamic!
🎙️ this audiobook is outstanding!! Narrated in DUET full cast by Autumn Mercer, Ryan Dunlap & Brandon Francis, and additional narration by Avery Caris & Patrick Zeller. This was truly such a production and just an overall feast for your earholes. Can’t recommend listening to the audio enough!
Thank you so much to Madi Danielle and her team for the ALC! I also had the opportunity to alpha read this book and I truly loved the journey this story took from beginning to end!

Thank you so much to Madi Danielle and her team for the ALC! I also had the opportunity to alpha read this book and I truly loved the journey this story took from beginning to end!

Another great book and new-to-me author after seeing this book ALL over my feed! Double Interference by Madi Danielle is book one in the Dragons Legacy series. It was everything I LOVE in my most favorite why choose and more! I absolutely devoured this book in a day and couldn't get enough of these three!
Grayson, Rae and Asher. Three people brought together through an inevitable connection. Rae is the popular singing superstar. She's so sweet and funny. This girl projects such confidence on stage. But in the quiet is a girl who struggles with who she really is and the confidence to change that. Grayson is Rae’s childhood best friend, this man is the ultimate golden retriever hockey star, he’s so sweet, loving, caring and has always been secretly in love with Rae. Asher, the broody MMA fighter, brings all the bad-boy energy. He is the COMPLETE opposite of these two. Injured and back home in Denver to heal, this man is facing who he really is without fighting. And deep down is a man greatly hurting due to a traumatic past and never feeling loved. These three balance each other perfectly, and watching Rae grow into her confidence while figuring out what she truly wants AND watching these men support that completely was everything!
The chemistry between these three was absolutely off the charts. Incredible tension, the perfect banter, the connection between them, it’s all pure fire and when these three come together, holy hotness!! The mouth’s on both these men, filthy and perfect! The scenes absolutely burn your Kindle. They are so hot together!
I also loved the little bit of suspense woven throughout the story, and getting to know this huge found family. AND the fact that there was no unnecessary third-act breakup was PERFECT.
If you love why choose, protective and obsessed men, soooo much heat it burns and just a beautiful love that may not be the “norm” to the world, please read this book! I already can't wait for the next book in the series!

July 27, 2026It’s been a while since I picked up a why choose romance because I’m usually not the biggest fan of the trope, but OMG this book completely surprised me.
The chemistry between all the characters was off the charts 🥵🌶️. Every interaction was packed with tension, and the spicy scenes definitely delivered. I couldn’t stop turning the pages!
I also really enjoyed the little suspense added to the story. It added just enough mystery to keep me hooked alongside the romance.
This is book one in a brand new series, but if you're like me, you'll probably want to go back and read the Denver Dragons series because this new generation follows the children of those characters. Now I'm so curious to go back and experience their parents' love stories!
One thing I loved is that this book has a complete ending, so you won't be left hanging. The final chapter simply gives us a glimpse of the next couple and sets up what's coming in book two and after that teaser, I already know the next book is going to be so good!
If you're looking for a super spicy why choose romance with amazing chemistry, a touch of suspense, and a cast that will make you want to dive into the previous generation's stories, I'd definitely recommend picking this one up.

Thank you MLA Audio for the alc of this book!
Holy spicy and amazing audio! I haven't read the orignal Dragon's hockey series, but this new second gen series definitely makes me want to go back and take them all in! I love a good why choose romance and I especially love when an audio is fully cast with three different narrators in duet for each one!
Ray is a pop star just coming off tour and struggling with her identity...not just wanting to be the perfect good girl anymore. Grayson is her lifelong best friend and pro hockey player. Everyone around them know they are meant to be more than friends and when they finally start to explore more, enter Asher. Injured MMA fighter back home in Colorado to recover and maybe just what Ray needs to bring her into her new era. Of course she doesn't want to give either one up, and they just want her to have everything she wants.
Poly relationships are not new to any of them as others in their lives have also chosen this lifestyle, but it's still something new for all of them to navigate together.
The full cast was so great! The narrators for Grayson and Asher fit their golden boy and bad boy personalities so well, and Autumn as Ray was also perfection, she was really able to take on all the sides and emotions of Ray.

ARC review:
3.5⭐️: I wanted to love it but ultimately the story just fell flat for me. I needed a bit more character development for all of them. Grayson was such a golden retriever, maybe too much? He kind of took a backseat to Rae and Asher. It was also hard to believe that Grayson would just be ok with being in a polyamorous relationship after being in love with Rae all this time 🤷🏻♀️. Loved Asher, the broody broken MMCs always find a soft spot in my heart. I needed more of his backstory which we finally got to towards the end but it felt a bit late. I liked seeing Rae’s growth and finding her voice. The dynamic of their throuple was interesting. It was def a more smut forward book. The spice was spicing ya’ll 🥵🥵🥵🔥. Overall it was fiiiine. Perhaps I would’ve felt more invested had I read the Denver Dragons series beforehand. I’m interested to see how the stories for the rest of the next gen plays out.

Well this was a fun and easy read!!!
This is the type of book that appears in my reels and I see it one time add to Goodreads and there is 50/50 chance of me ending up reading it or completely forget about it.
Well I definitely didn't forget this, because well it had me curious because I love reading a good why choose romance but it's that type of trope that needs to be well written to be good, and this was.
The problem of this book is that sometimes it was superficial and had some plot holes because the premise was good, I liked the characters, the whole one big happy found family thingy was good, and I also liked the romance.
I think is more about the way that it was written than the story itself.
And I already had the first book of the original series, on my to read list, now I remembered of his existence and probably will go back in time and start those books too

who doesn’t love MFM with athletes? 😏
this was my first book by Madi, and i’m interested to see her backlog now - especially after reading about the other side characters!
get some water because this book is SPICYYYY, it was quick and to the point and the characters are HOT. i was shocked at the pace but honestly it kept me interested instead of being dragged out so 🙂↕️
personally my favorite scene was (hint: 🧎🏻) !!! walk him like a dog girl 🤪
the book was easy to read at a time where it feels like it’s hard for me to focus, so that itself is an A+, i didn’t have to reread paragraphs to try to figure out how the scene is set up if that makes sense. and i loved the fact that we got to see all povs of certain scenes.
thank you for the arc, all thoughts and opinions are my own

My first Madi Danielle book and it won’t be my last! I really enjoyed Double Interference. It’s a second gen book based on adult children of beloved characters from past series and this set is one big happy extended family/found family.
It follows Rea the Pop Princess back in Denver for the winter, her childhood best friend and hockey player Greyson, and the misfit loner turned MMA fighter Asher who comes back into town to recoup from a sports injury. One thing leads to another and the will they/won’t they for Rea & Greyson comes to a head and sparks fly. But Asher pops into the mix and it just makes sense.
There is a stalker, not one of the MMCs that is a subplot to this VERY spicy MFM romance. Like, whole chapters dedicated to spicy time.

Tropes:
▪ MFM
▪ Childhood Friends to Lovers
▪ Sports Romance
▪ Why Choose
▪ Opposites Attract
▪ Bad Boy x Good Girl
▪ Check Trigger Warnings ▪
I haven't read a MFM for a long time but this has definitely given me the bug to read more! Madi absolutely captured everything that needs to be in a book for me. There was romance, tension, spice and an underlying thriller!
Rae has always been the good girl, a pop star icon, and now suddenly she's involved with two men. Both men are opposite to each other but equally obsessed with Rae. They're not the only ones obsessed though, not with the packages that turn up and the unease Rae feels.
I loved going back to the Denver Dragon world, whilst you don't need to read the first series to read this one, it would give you more depth into Rae's world. This was such a fun book to read and I'm excited for the next in the series! Definitely recommend.

Double Interference by Madi Danielle eARC and ALC Review 🏒🎤🧡
This honestly might be the best audio I have ever listened to. The narrators brought this story to life and WOW, I had such a good time with this one.
And this story, my goodness MADI- you brought the heat but in the best way! I absolutely fell in love with Rae, Asher and Grayson. Each of them now have a piece of my heart and the three of them are truly perfect for each other. The way that they compliment one another and the love that each of the guys has for Rae, it’s so special.
My jaw was definitely on the floor during a few of the scenes because holy hotness 🌶️.
Duet narration performed by: Autumn Mercer, Brandon Francis, and Ryan Lee Dunlap
Featuring: Avery Caris and Patrick Zeller
What to expect:
MFM why choose
Childhood friends to lovers
Good girl x bad boy
Pop star FMC

HOLY SPICY BATMAN.
But in true Madi Danielle fashion it was so delicious.
Rae and her childhood bestie decide to give it shot…but Rae is also in the process of finding herself…not only with the help of her golden retriever bestie…but another family friend she grew up with who lets just say is more of a Doberman.
The power dynamic and switch ups you get from these three are so good.
My reviews are based off feelings. And let me tell you ladies. She had me feeling ALLLLLL the feelings.
If you haven’t read the Denver dragons before hand that’s okay, but definitely go back and get to know the whole fam.
I cannot wait for the next books in the series. The little Easter eggs we get are perfect to set the scenes up the rest of the series!

HOLY HOTNESS, BATMAN! I came for the hot menage spice that I knew would knock my socks off (it did) and this adorable cover, but definitely stayed for the heartwarming friends to lovers story and this group figuring out how to be a throuple. And the audio is SOOO good. I started this audiobook and literally could not stop. Double Interference is ridiculously addictive, outrageously spicy, and somehow still manages to deliver so much heart alongside all that heat. This was my first intro to the Dragons world (though I've read other Madi series), and I'm excited to go back and meet the parents in the OG series now.
For a friends to lovers story (with some past longing) AND a throuple dynamic with a less-close family friend, I expected a bit more angst, but this one is pretty low angst, low drama (at least relationally). It leans heavily into the spicy exploration. And since some of the adults in their family are in poly relationships, this seemed pretty normalized for both our three characters and their families, which was actually kind of refreshing. At first I was confused why Rae would even seek outside of Grayson, since they were clearly on the verge of a full falling, but as the story progresses, it's clear to see that Grayson and Asher fulfill completely different parts of her heart, and together they give her everything she's been searching for. These guys are totally different and both delicious. One a sweet talking golden retriever/cinnamon roll, boy next door type who supports and uplifts and is safety personified. The other a dirty talking, rebel with a chip on his shoulder that challenges and unsettles (but also gives safety) in a way she needs too.
I loved how easy it was for them to fall together with Rae, but not always easy for the two of them. Grayson and Asher irritate each other, aren't instant friends, and honestly probably won't be. But they do become family and find a way to function that works for them and Rae. A mutual respect if you will. The banter between them had me grinning, and watching Rae happily reap the benefits of their competetive side was lots of fun.
I'm normal one for the broken bad boy, but here our golden retriever stole the show. Grayson completely stole my heart. He's the sweetest hero, endlessly devoted to Rae, ridiculously supportive, and heavy on the praise and affirmation. He was the balm to my soul. Then Madi gives us Asher, who was just fire. Broody, damaged, dominant, filthy-mouthed, and carrying years of trauma that convinced him he wasn't worthy of love. The contrast between these two men is such a great juxtaposition, and somehow they balance each other beautifully. Grayson brings the softness while Asher pushes Rae to step outside the image she's spent her whole life trying to live up to. Together, they help her discover exactly who she wants to be, and I loved watching all three of them grow into something that felt surprisingly authentic. And surprisingly low drama.
The chemistry is great, and Madi always writes hella delicious spice. I've only read MF books from her, and holy hotness now I want to read the RH ones in her backlist because the smexy times in this were just straight filthly in the best way. The praise. The degradation. The dirty talk. The tension. The group scenes. Whew. I was blushing, sweating, giggling, and paranoid someone was able to hear my headphones lol. It is SPICY spicy.
Grayson doesn't quite get the character ARCs that Rae and Asher get, and truthfully the most emotional content centers on Asher's background, but I did feel connected to all of them regardless. I also really enjoyed Rae's personal journey. Beneath the pop star persona and "good girl" image is someone trying to figure out who she actually wants to be, and watching her step into that confidence was so relatable.
The suspense element was also a fun addition, and in fact I wish it was ramped up even more at the end (it resolved rather quickly and holy moly that was a twist!). It raises the stakes, gives our protective heroes plenty of opportunities to shine, and had my heart racing more than once.
The star is the audiobook. The mulit-cast, duet style performances are SOO good. One of my fav of the year. Autumn Mercer, Brandon Francis, and Ryan Lee Dunlap completely embody Rae, Grayson, and Asher, bringing every ounce of emotion, chemistry, vulnerability, and spice to life. I honestly wasn't familiar with any of their work prior, but I loved all three of them here. And the vocal chemistry across the cast is so good. Avery Caris and Patrick Zeller are also great and apparently voiced the original first gen series, so I can't wait to check that out since they are both really compelling to listen to. Definitely recommend the audio. The spicy parts?! Holy shiiiiiz I about melted. Such an immersive listen.
And that ending?! Madi sprinkled little hints throughout the book for what's coming next, and it was a pairing I was hoping for. So excited to check out more of this series AND can't wait to grab the OG series because the parents/family had me all kinds of curious.

Pop Star x MMA x Hockey Player
I love a good “idiots in love” storyline where everyone knows but them. This is a bit elevated with it being why choose and having the bad boy thrown in.
Rae gave off proud nepo baby to me. Which isn’t bad, it is her truth. She talks about the difficulties of following in her mom’s shadow which makes her more grounded and I appreciated that aspect. However, hated that she had like zero sense of self preservation when it came to the stalker.
Grayson was a little too much of a golden boy for me. There was nothing interesting about him. I didn’t feel like he had depth and it honestly gave weight to how Asher thought of and spoke about him the entire book.
Asher was the opposite, he had such good footing to be a well fleshed out character but fell just short. It really seemed like he was creating most of his own problems. And the truth of his upbringing came along too late to relieve that take. But he was more fun and added more to the story than Grayson.
The plot itself is ok. I’m not the biggest proponent of MFM why choose. Grayson and Asher dynamic did not alleviate me of that because the real conflict between them was short lived and instead of them fully embracing one another, they just bickered less. They never interacted with one another to come to terms or an agreement but that’s on par with how the whole thing started. One minute she’s with Asher — having only had this one limited sexual interaction after years of not seeing one another — and she immediately starts dreaming up this poly scenario. This is also after she has this internal struggle of ruining her friendship with Grayson. I wish that was fleshed out more to add tension and possibly some depth for Grayson. They were both already struggling with that, he’s away a lot, they’re used to only having one another but they acclimate to the poly idea so easily and quickly.
I feel like it was repetitive at times. It overstated certain actions like Rae sinking her teeth into her bottom lip or the mention of Maya and Steele.
Rae, though, was extremely honest with them both from the beginning and that, I commend. I liked how they had support to lean back on and ask questions and refer to. The stalker’s identity was very predictable so it didn’t pay off well but I did have a good time hating him throughout the book. I love not just a dual narration but a duet! This multicast was great but I was not a fan of the FMCs narrator unfortunately.
The spice was good. But I think the issues I had with the dynamic between them all made for less of an impact.
I think if you’re looking for a fun low stakes read this will pay off well for you. If you like:
-MFM
- Childhood Friends to Lovers
-Multiple POV
-Multicast Narration
-“Good Girl”
You will thoroughly enjoy this.
Thank you to Smuthood & the author for this ALC in exchange for my honest review.

I love a good “idiots in love” storyline where everyone knows but them. This is a bit elevated with it being why choose and having the bad boy thrown in.
Rae gave off proud nepo baby to me. Which isn’t bad, it is her truth. She talks about the difficulties of following in her mom’s shadow which makes her more grounded and I appreciated that aspect. However, hated that she had like zero sense of self preservation when it came to the stalker.
Grayson was a little too much of a golden boy for me. There was nothing interesting about him. I didn’t feel like he had depth and it honestly gave weight to how Asher thought of and spoke about him the entire book.
Asher was the opposite, he had such good footing to be a well fleshed out character but fell just short. It really seemed like he was creating most of his own problems. And the truth of his upbringing came along too late to relieve that take. But he was more fun and added more to the story than Grayson.
The plot itself is ok. I’m not the biggest proponent of MFM why choose. Grayson and Asher dynamic did not alleviate me of that because the real conflict between them was short lived and instead of them fully embracing one another, they just bickered less. They never interacted with one another to come to terms or an agreement but that’s on par with how the whole thing started. One minute she’s with Asher — having only had this one limited sexual interaction after years of not seeing one another — and she immediately starts dreaming up this poly scenario. This is also after she has this internal struggle of ruining her friendship with Grayson. I wish that was fleshed out more to add tension and possibly some depth for Grayson.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Let’s start with the MFM relationship because I know that’s what a lot of people are going to ask about. This isn’t something that comes out of nowhere. The previous generation in this world already features multiple-partner relationships, so it actually feels very natural here. Grayson grew up watching his aunt and uncles have this kind of relationship, while Asher has watched his bosses build successful multiple-partner relationships too.
And before anyone says anything … we don’t yuck anyone else’s yum. This book? It is absolutely Rondi’s yum.
Now let’s talk about Rae. She’s our resident pop star, and yes, some people think she’s only successful because her mom is famous. Those people are wrong because Rae is ridiculously talented in her own right.
She’s talked to her best friend Grayson every single day for years, but one night she spots Asher in the crowd. She grew up with him too, but he’d always kept his distance. Suddenly she can’t stop thinking about either one of them.
Honestly? Neither could I.
The first night the three of them come together is fantastic. What I loved most wasn’t even the romance itself - it was that both Grayson and Asher expected jealousy to hit them, and … it never did. The lack of jealousy actually concerned them more than if it had happened. Then reality sets in, and they’re left wondering how they’re supposed to explain this relationship to Rae’s parents. Even though they’ve seen relationships like this before, would they really be accepting when it’s their daughter?
Beyond the romance, there’s also a mystery running through the story. Something sinister is happening inside Rae’s inner circle, and someone clearly doesn’t want her to succeed. Add in the creepy messages claiming that she belongs to someone, and the suspense keeps building while you’re trying to figure out who’s behind it all. The only people I wanted Rae with were Asher and Grayson, so anyone threatening that immediately became public enemy number one.
I loved seeing Rae become part of both of their lives. Watching Grayson go to his uncle for relationship advice was adorable, and Asher finally opening up about his past absolutely broke my heart. One of my favorite moments was when his sister realized what he’d been carrying all those years. Her reaction was exactly what you’d hope for: “Do you think if I’d known what you were going through, I would’ve left you there? Never.”
And Charlie? We loved him in his book, and somehow he’s even more lovable here.
I also have to talk about the Denver Dragons connection. The Breakout has always been my favorite book in that series, so getting to watch Colton Wheeler’s son become so successful was incredibly satisfying. And let’s not forget - he’s an identical twin - which means I am beyond excited for the rest of this series.
Finally … that plot twist.
Without spoiling anything, the identity of the villain genuinely shocked me. I never saw it coming, and Madi completely got me.
Madi, this was another 10 out of 10. The narration? Infinity out of 10. It was absolutely perfect.
I cannot wait for the rest of this series.
Do yourself a favor and pick this one up immediately.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4 Stars
First, thank you for the ARC! This book released in July, and while I’m a little late getting my review up, we’re here now. 😂
Overall, I really did enjoy this one. It was entertaining, spicy, had that close-knit found-family dynamic that I absolutely love, and definitely kept me reading. BUT… this book came out of the gate RUNNING. Like ma’am, I barely had my shoes tied.
The first chapter introduces basically everyone at once, and then within a couple of chapters, we are already THERE with the relationships. These characters have known each other for years and have this whole history and found-family bond, and I really wish we had gotten to sit in that history a little longer. Give me the backstory! Give me the tension! Give me the little moments that explain how we got from we’ve known each other forever to well, okay then! 😂
There was also A LOT of smut—and listen, I read plenty of spicy books, so that sentence coming from me says something. 😂 We got into two sticks, one hole territory 🤫😉 and yes, double penetration makes an appearance, so when I say this book was spicy, I mean SPICY. 🌶️🌶️🌶️ This is completely personal preference, but I would have happily traded a few of those scenes for more character development and backstory. I wanted a little more tell me why these people are obsessed with each other mixed in with the show me how obsessed they are with each other. 😂
My biggest issue was probably the layout of the story. Several things were introduced that felt like they were going to become important later, but then they either disappeared or weren’t explored as much as I expected. There’s also an “obsessed fan” situation that gets mentioned, hangs out quietly in the background for a while, and then suddenly becomes important toward the end. I liked the storyline itself; I just wanted it woven throughout the book more so the payoff felt bigger.
That being said, I had fun reading it. The characters were entertaining, I loved the found-family aspect, and there were definitely moments that had me laughing. I just wanted the story to slow down enough to let me really get attached to everyone and dig deeper into some of the storylines it introduced.
The ending isn’t exactly a cliffhanger—it’s more like the book built a little bridge, pointed across it, and said, “See you in book two.” 👀😂
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fun, spicy, fast-paced read that I enjoyed, but I would have loved more backstory, more buildup, and a little more room for the plot to breathe.

Review of advance copy
“Grayson calls her sunshine, but she’s more than that. She’s all the stars in the fucking galaxy with how brightly she shines.”
This book was 🥵, and it delivered everything I love in an MFM romance!
Rae is a strong FMC who knows exactly what she wants and she refuses to settle. She wants both her best friend, Grayson, and the broody bad boy, Archer, and watching her embrace that without hesitation was so satisfying.
Grayson is the ultimate good guy: hopelessly in love with his best friend and convinced he’ll never have a chance with her. Then there’s Archer the filthy-mouthed bad boy carrying the weight of his childhood trauma, believing he could never truly belong with them. The dynamic between all three characters was perfection.
The chemistry? Off the charts. The spice was spicy, and I loved every second of it. And honestly, what’s hotter than one man getting on his knees and crawling toward you? Two men doing it. Enough said. Add in a pierced bad boy and some truly unforgettable dirty talk, and I was completely sold.
I loved how different all three characters were and how naturally they fit together despite their differences. Their relationship never felt forced it evolved beautifully throughout the story.
One of my favorite aspects was watching Rae patiently stand by Archer as he slowly let his walls down and allowed himself to be vulnerable. His journey was emotional, and seeing him realize that he was worthy of love and a place beside Rae and Grayson made his character arc incredibly rewarding.
“She’s always like this, so bright. So perfect. Too good for me, and we both know it, but I’m holding on with both hands as tight as I can because if I were to lose her then I would lose all the light she brings with her.”
“I love that she loves me, even with all my unlovable pieces.”
I also loved getting to see the parents again and the hilarious banter throughout the story. The humor, emotional moments, and romance all blended together perfectly.
I also appreciated that the story skipped the typical third-act breakup.
Tropes:
* MFM
* MMA Fighter + NHL Player + Singer
* Friends to Lovers
* Childhood Trauma
* Stalker
* Banter
* Good Boy / Bad Boy
* Golden Retriever with Slutty Glasses
* Opposites Attract
Rating: 5⭐️
