Well, the premise of this book was certainly interesting, but unfortunately, it fell short for me. Be prepared for a fast-moving storyline with little plot and no character development. And if I could have a dollar for every time the word ‘piston’ was used...
The basics: Garnet finds herself suddenly the beneficiary of a five-million-dollar estate thanks to a regular at the bar she works at who recently passed away. The only stipulation is that she has to marry someone within 30 days or no money. Low and behold, she just happens to meet four eligible men within the timeframe and “falls in love” with all of them.
I love reverse harem novels, I really do. But this one is low on the scale of this genre. There is little-to-no build up on the actual relationships with the men. She goes on one date with each of them and is doing sexual things with them that same night—which is perfectly fine, but it was just executed strangely in my opinion. Another issue I had with the story is the fact that there was no real sense of time. Sometimes the author would give a notion to the time frame—two weeks later, etc., but it was few and far between, which I think also affected my feelings towards the characters and their fast-moving relationships. When the ‘L’ word got thrown into the mix I was definitely rolling my eyes. Typical character: “Did I just say love? I don’t love them yet.”
The guys are also super chill about sharing one woman. The two guys who have done it before and are close friends? Sure, that is believable, but the other two? They didn’t even bat an eye. I’m not saying they have to throw some punches or anything, but it is still strange to not have some reservations about it, especially with a woman they just met.
If you take the book for what it is—erotic “romance”, then it will meet your expectations, especially if you don’t set them too high. Just some good ole’ dirty sex.
