This series is slaying me!! Lol, final book here I come.
I love the premise behind this series, dystopean world with woman in the minority. Perfect build up to a society based on RH relationships. I love seeing Emerson and his family background and what could be for the group. I also loved foreshadowing of what could be. I can't wait to see where this goes from here.
My only complaint would be that the next book is not out now!
3,5* Holy fucking daaamn that ending left me heartbroken, in pain. I fucking need the next book I should warn everyone that do not read this series before it's completed!
Review copy kindly provided by the author in exchange for a honest review I adore this series for a number of reasons so I was so happy to see this book . Written in a serial format , yet with longer length books that you would expect. The Wife Lottery has taken mail order brides and given it a distinct reverse harem make over in this dystopia world. Readers know these two authors love to leave readers hanging and over the series have come to expect two things with every book. Constantly revealing new information about the gang that only adds to the richness of the story that has been told to us in the last four books. I couldn’t wait to read Emerson’s story as a result .As the guy had been patience waiting his turn and had a bit of a rough time given the events of the last couple of months. He stood by Tia and now it was his time to shine. Given he was the centre of this novel. He makes some surprising moves and the Emerson we see in this book , is going to surprise everyone. He is the protector readers have known to come but there so much more to this man . Even I was surprised given this novel is focusing on a particular part of Tia’s story and her history. Emerson had a chance to play a role with that . It added something to the story that you didn’t think it need but worked well given the whole concept of the series . In fact, Emerson might be my favourite given as result that he fights for what Tia’s wants and stands by her side in this novel . IF anything, it will be interesting to see how this affects the next and final instalment which is going to be electrifying
Oh my lord... I was almost insane waiting to read this book because the way that the previous book ended I wanted more. I'm being transported into this world that I can almost feel their pains. I'm serious. Charlie and Chantel managed to grab me and can't let me go. Their writing is intense and forbidden, dark and mysterious and with so much hotness into the mix. Oh boy... The hot stuff... The Wife Pact is their latest release and it's the fifth book from the series... And what a series. But you need to read all books in order because if you don't you will not understand this series. Trust me. This book continues to explore Tia and her husband's story, but we will get a closer approach to Emerson's story. Tia's goal is to get pregnant in order to be able to stay living with her 6 husbands in Alaska. But how can she risk her life? How can she risk losing her husbands? Jeez this series is getting better and better. The story is progressing in a way that it has the ability to take my breath away, to make me curse, to make me hot. I can't explain how I'm feeling right now because I'm overwhelmed. The plot is magnificent, super engaging and intense. Things were happening in a way that I wanted to slap someone or to hold them. Each character has their own personality, their quirks, likes and dislikes and I love them all. Sweet baby Jesus... The hot scenes are to die for from pleasure. That's a good way to go... Lol But I'm so mad right now. Mad because it's over, mad because the way it ended will make me go crazy with want. Why girls? Why end this like this? More please and fast. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
3.5 Stars MAJOR SPOILERS THROUGHOUT: This book was disappointing. I was expecting a lot more than what I got and I didn't like the way that the story unfolded. Nothing happened the way I wanted it to and about halfway through, I got really bored. I was skim reading the last seven chapters or so. Going into this book, I was looking forward to Emerson's point of view. He has always been the sweet one of the group and I wanted to meet his family. Little did I know, he was hiding a giant secret. When I found out that Emerson had a kid, I was shocked. I felt bad for Tia because I felt like he had been lying to her for a long time. Emerson continued to lie to her, even when she met Mason. When Tia finally found out, she didn't have the reaction I was expecting. I thought that she would be mad at Emerson for lying to her but she wasn't. In fact, Tia didn't really seem to care. I was really mad about this and I felt like Tia's reaction was unrealistic. Overall, I did enjoy this book. While I didn't like it as much as I would have liked to, I will be continuing the series. I am a little mad about the cliffhanger at the end of this book and I want to find out what happens next.
I love this series and it gets better an better the more I read - initially by book two I did say other than, if the books were longer and without cliffhanger endings they only thing that could make this series better was if the six husbands had been shifters making this a Paranormal Romance - but by the end of book three I was past wishing that, as the series in its self-was just so good and that hasn't diminished by book five of the series and I can't wait to read book six. If you enjoy Reverse Harem books then you will truly love this series - I should add you need to have read all the books as these books aren't stand-alone.

Six Men of Alaska by Charlie Hart (Author), Chantel Seabrook A Post Apocalyptic, Dystopian, Reverse Harem Romance in 6 books
Titles: The Wife Lottery: Fallon The Wife Protectors: Giles The Wife Gamble: Salinger The Wife Code: Banks The Wife Pact: Emerson The Wife Legacy: Huxley
I love te new type of romance – the Reverse Harem, but I have loved the Post Apoc and Dystopian genres since I picked up Z for Zachariah way way way back in 8th grade. Bear in mind, the novel is very different from the horrid movie that even Netflix and Hulu want nothing to do with. The 6 Men of Alaska picks up with the current fear, driven both by the predicted outcome of China's One Child policy of the 80s and 90's and the preference for male children in India, Pakistan and China. There are more men than women. This fear actually dates as far back as Frank Herbert's The White Plague, where a madman cooks up a virus to wipe out women. Of course some women remain at the end, and he postulates that they will need to take more than one husband to save mankind. Writers from Margaret Atwood (the Handmaid's Tale) to Sherri S Tepper (The Gate to Woman's Country) to genre master Rebecca Royce have all played with the concept. Ms. Hart and Ms. Seabrook take the cue from wildness of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest in general to create a depressingly possible and stunningly deep world, where due to tinkering again with a virus, men have made women either infertile or unable to carry girl infants because either they, the babies or both will die in the process. We enter this world why there are more than 10 men for every woman. Alaska, separating itself from the imploding (cough cough) USA. They have declared themselves a Sanctuary (cough cough) for women. With one hitch. Young, fertile women will be put into the lottery and gain themselves not one but six husbands. Husbands they didn't choose. Tia is on the run, trying to find freedom from her past. At 21 and healthy she is put into the lottery and wins 6 amazing men. Men who have painful and even tragic pasts, who want nothing more than family. The relationships are interesting and romantic, if not for the fact the Tia has exactly one problem resolution skill – sex with one or more of her dudes. At first, this is sweet as the virgin grows to know her husbands and how to seduce them. But the sex ends up be being a play by play of almost the exactly the same. Even with the one male character who has a Dom hidden in him. That last like 2 widely separated scene. The struggles that they go through and the people who either help or hinder them are exceptionally well drawn as is the dark world around them. I enjoyed the book, I really loved the mix of genres, but I just couldn't get over Tia's single way to resolve any uncomfortable emotion or any uncomfortable discussion. Even though she was basically kept locked up in way we have seen since the Bronte's, her husbands have not and they are old enough and have enough experience to sit her down and Dr. Phil her.
Please note: I received this books via Kindle Unlimited and read them pretty much all in a row like a single book, hence why they are being reviewed that way.
The story picks up were Banks ended. Tia's ultrasound, reveals shocking and terrifying information. She trusts in Banks and is determined to proceed with the pregnancy. Emerson take Tia on a few day get away to his family farm, for some much needed stress reduction. She learns that Em has some secrets of his own. She understands why he did what he did. His mother was a midwife and she learns of a herbal remedy that has help women deliver healthy babies, even females, with the moms surviving. Tia is skeptical, but can't deny she does feel better drinking her tea. Em has for a long time felt inadequate in his marriage. An oddity in their family. An uneducated farm boy, who joined the navy. The homemaker and peacemaker. Feels he doesn't have the respect his co-husbands do. He Even feels his wife looks down on him. He insist that Banks study his mother's herbal remedy. He cuts a deal with Banks to steal Tia's file from her father, to get him to do it. What they find in the lab is far worse than any suspected. What Bank's finds in the herb is encouraging. Em's past comes knocking at their door. His secret is revealed to his co-husbands. They understand and support him. Tia insists that as a family they go with Em to his family farm to prepare his family for the worst. Meeting his family and their acceptance brings new understanding to Em's co-husbands. Then they learn what Em really does for the Navy and he gains their respect. Their time away brings their little family closer together. Banks research show that Tia may hold the key to a cure. The cost is great. While they debate what to do. They learn that Huxley has been in contact with Tia's father. Everything points to his betrayal. Fast paced and steamy. Loved Em and his family. Can't wait for the next book and last book, to see what Hux has been up to. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. Love this series and have preordered all the books. Will be reading again.
Honestly, after loving the other books in the series, this one was pretty disappointing, especially because Emerson was my favorite of all the men!
First off all, the whole six baby pregnancy is so ridiculous. It will be the biggest eyeroll of all time if it turns out each man fathered one of the babies! It really ruins the romance of the book too because how can everyone want to get it on when Tia is basically a dead woman walking. Total mood killer.
My biggest issue though is why they introduced this whole other plot with Emerson and his son. It's completely unnecessary and doesn't add to the overall story. I feel like this book stepped out of the series completely. Honestly, you could just skip this one and move on the book 6 without missing anything important. Not sure why the authors decided to do this.
And I also didn't like how they felt the need to say that Emerson was like a badass Navy Seal or whatever in order to get the other men to respect him. Why couldn't they just respect him because he is a nice guy who cares about his family? And don't even get me started on the fact that he secretly owned a bunch of land and now they want to build a house and a freaking runway on it so they can move out there and Fallon can fly them to work every day. Ridiculous.
We're getting close to the end now, and the secrets keep coming! This book focuses on the sweetheart of the family, Emerson. Always the easy-going one, he's a true example of "still waters run deep." I think he's always been my favorite of the six (sorry, Fallon) but I fell in love with him just a little bit more in this book. But not Tia, however. I couldn't believe the rude, hurtful things she "innocently" said to him. And I don't think she apologized nearly enough. Blamed it all on hormones. Bah!
As a continuation of this fantastic story, this book was wonderfully revelatory. We not only get secrets from the past revealed, but we also get a glimpse of the future as well. And what a beautiful future that is! Of course it ends on a shocking cliffhanger ... though I have my suspicions that the "asset" isn't who we're meant to think it is. I'm pretty sure the explanation for this is going to tie up a nasty loose end left in this book. Either way, I'm loving this series and can't wait to read the finale! Then, of course, I'm going to read the entire series all over again, maybe twice more. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
So Emerson has been my favorite from the very beginning and his book did not disappoint! I loved how we got to see his flaws in this one, because in the previous books, we didnt know he had any haha. He has been the most sensitive, most romantic of the bunch and we get to learn about some huge secrets he has been keeping for 10-15 years. I loved his family, I wish we could have more from them, like what women or men they find in the future, because of how close they are, how funny and adorable they all seemed. In terms of the story, we get to learn about the lore from lives past, see how people get to live outside the confines of the lottery, how the men could fit into that world if things were different, and get to see Tia progress in her pregnancy and comes to terms of the shocking news haha. I won't give anything away, but some of the other men step up and my clear favorite had a run for his money, that's for sure!
Narration again was good, the heartbreak from Emerson was palpable, the love and fear the others exuded when it comes to Tia, the babies, and the baddies trying to get her. I couldn't not give this one 5 stars, I almost listened to it in one sitting ❤️
OMG this series is soooooo intense makes one think of what we are doing to our world, is it possible that we can destroy our world in such a way? This story has taken on a whole new meaning for me, it's not that 1 woman can be with 6 men, but what she comes to mean to them and the extremes they would go to protect her from harm. The men finally come together as a family, they have accepted what they mean as a whole, not as individuals. As they discovered, they face an even more deadly reality, they take great risks to find a solution and ensure that all they have accomplished will not come crashing down.
In book 5 of this so very intriguing and mind blowing story we learn a lot about the man we thought could have no ghosts in his past the ever perfect Emerson. He has a secret that could turn it all topsy turvy when there's a knock at the door and everyone discovers what he's kept from them.
Will the discovery of a traitor be the last straw for Tia?
I LOVED Emerson before this: he was so sweet, and such a boy-next-door and honestly seemed innocent.
I don't know if Emerson having a secret love-child (who was raised as his brother) was always supposed to be the conflict for his book, but it just seemed to epically clash with the image of him the previous books constructed.
Also, the fact that he was still possessive of his ex … like 10 years later just totally rubbed me the wrong way. His ex was supposed to be really nice and everything, but , of course, she turned out to be a cold, manipulative bitch, who is quite scary.
Emerson's Ex, again, didn’t gel AT ALL with the image of Emerson!
Also, I was so annoyed no one was concerned that Emerson was 14 years old when he got with his 19-year-old ex! But, I guess in a world that has no rights for women, this predatory behaviour doesn't even raise an eyebrow.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This series just keeps getting better and better and in this book we meet Emerson another husband of Tia
Tia is pregnant and with multiple babies Emerson's mother is a midwife and has a secret tea that seems to keep both baby and mother alive so Tia goes with him to his family island. Emerson feels that both his wife and the other husbands look down on him and when his past comes back to haunt him he isn't sure that they will help. He is so wrong though has this family group step up to help him defeat his past. Banks thinks that Tia could be the key to a ure and it looks like Hux the final husband we have yet to get his story could be a traitor. I am looking forward to the next and final book Hux story to see what will happen in this wonderful world that has been created
I was given a copy of this book but this is a true and honest review
This book is the fifth book in the "Six Men of Alaska" series. The book focuses on Tia and Emerson (Em). In this installment we learn more about Emerson and his past and we get to meet his family. Tia is finally pregnant with multiple babies and the men are very worried not only about Tia but for their babies also. It is decided that Emerson will take Tia to his family island so she can relax. This was another amazing book in the series. I loved learning more about Emerson and his family. Emerson and Tia had sizzling chemistry and the sex between these two was hot. The book ends on a huge cliffhanger and I can't wait for the final installment. I voluntarily received an advanced arc copy through Booksprout for an honest review.
Tia is now pregnant shockingly with six babies so now they must try to find the means to save her and the babies. Tia is now pregnant and it is a shock when the scan shows there to be six babies but how are they going to ensure the survival of both mother and babies. Visiting Emerson's home they find out about a plant his mother uses for all types of illness and take some back with them to test. Then a mission to find the papers Tia's father has of the treatment he subjected her to but will these measures be enough. A fast paced reverse harem story to relax and enjoy.

As like in the previous books this book is told from Tia's point of view and one of her husbands, this was Emerson's story. Tia is now pregnant which can mean a death sentence but when they find out she is pregnant with multiples, six to be exact, it is now imperative to find a cure to the genetic anomaly that causes women to die in childbirth and often the babies too. More secrets are revealed and the cliff hanger at the end is a twist I never saw coming. I cannot wait for the final installment in this riveting serial.

Tia finds out that she is carrying 6 babies and carrying one is dangerous enough. They decide to take some time at Emerson's family farm and learn about a flower that helps with morning sickness and other health issues. She and Banks are skeptical but it seems to work. They know they have to get the records on the testing Tia's father did on her. They are able to go in covertly and get the records. Emerson tells Tia the secret that he has a son. The baby mama shows up out of nowhere to threaten Emerson. At the end, the biggest shocker of them all.

Things are heating up in the penultimate installment in the 6 Men of Alaska series. This chapter gives us a bit more insight into Emerson and boy, oh boy! He's the down home, Mamma lovin', man of your dreams and his practical knowledge just might save everything. This story was a lesson in faith in the one you love, even if it's not something you understand. Risks are taken, courage is found, and love is all around. I'm so excited for the finale!! I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to discover the fate of our characters, and the fate of everything. Such a great, quick read. Lots of love!~!!
Another fantastic addition to the series and this is Tia’s and Emerson’s story. Tia is finally pregnant with multiple babies and her husbands are worried about her and the babies so Emerson takes Tia to his family’s home for some rest and relaxation. In this book we learn more about Emerson and his family, wow there are plenty of surprises, danger, more questions, twists and turns and so much more. I loved this story and I know you will too and I can’t wait to read book 6, I’m anxiously biting my nails because I know the last ones going to be one heck of a story. A 5 plus story / series and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.
As Tia's pregnancy progresses she is becoming more stressed about the out come of her pregnancy and her husbands decide to send her to visit with Emerson's family on their island. His mother is a retired midwife and has never lost a mother. She gives Tia a recipe for a herbal drink which helps the mother with morning sickness and other problems which may occur. This is a wonderful story and each book gives more details of the characters strengths and weaknesses, enriching the story with greater depth. I am looking forward with anticipation to the conclusion of this saga.

Okay I need book six as soon as possible! The story has just got so even more exciting I need to know what is going on so bad
This is Emerson’s story and it’s a doozy! With twists I did not see coming I was glued to the page, sweet sweet Em has a big secret he has been keeping from Tia and the other husbands
With some really sweet and tender Romance, steam, excitement and a great storyline this series is still as thrilling as it started and with a twist and a sting in the tail my grabby hands are seriously wantIng Huxleys story
I thought the tension and excitement cannot be increased. I was wrong. As for all the books before, again I want to read the next book already! I really loved Emerson's family and the farm they had. It was so romantic and nice, the island of peace. And Emerson's Mom is the best! It was also nice to see how Tia's family became stronger, more united than ever. And then the story got too exciting, and I want to share no spoilers :) If you read the previous books, then this is a must read, and if not, start them now to reach this part! I reviewed an ARC copy of the book voluntarily.
Up Front.... this is BOOK 5 in a series that cannot be read out of order.
Ok... Sweet Baby Jesus what a Series!!! Book 1 was my first reverse harem book, and I dug it! Unfortunately now, all others in this genre have a high bar to hit. The characters are engaging, funny, sad, sexy... everything I look for. Oh, and the sex... pretty hot.
I loved the totally believable premise of the story. Without giving too much away, we're drawn into a utopian world where women are a hot commodity and pregnancy is the ultimate goal.
I Loved this book, this series, and all the characters. In this book you get a closer look into Emerson and his family.
The storyline so far has been amazing and has you hook, line and sinker. Also some so the scenes are HOTT!
I love each of the men with all their different personalities. I love Emerson and his family especially Mason. He also fights for Tia and stands by her side no matter how bad it gets
I totally recommend reading this book and this series.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is the fifth book in this series and the story keeps getting more intense. This book is Emerson's story and you will love it. Tia is pregnant and Emerson takes her to meet his family on their farm. He also has a big secret he wants to tell her. The husbands come together to protect Tia and all her babies and are determined to make sure they all survive. Be prepared for one hell of a cliff hanger. Can't wait to read the last book, although I don't want it to end. Patsy Sacco
Well written story. Nice story line and plot. The mix of emotions, family issues, secrets, strong characters, amazing chemistry and twists makes it a nice read. I like it is written in dual POV which gives the reader a lot more of the thoughts and feelings of the main characters and brings the reader more into the story. Sometimes I would have liked more reaction from the characters. I would have liked it not to have the cliffhanger because that took some of the joy away from me. But it is absolutely worth the read.
Emerson was the golden retriever of the series, I liked him but we rarely SAW him. This series is honestly the definition of insta-love. Emerson even 'called his mom' the first night he was married to Tia and said he got the woman of his dreams... alright buddy!
We see Emersons insecurities and secrets in this book and both made the plot very interesting. I saw Emersons secrets coming from a mile away but it was still good.
BTW there is absolutely NO M/M in the entire series. It's all M/M/M/F/M/M/M with Tia in the center.
More revelations are revealed and nothing can be done to stop what is coming. Tia is pregnant with multiple babies, their life is at risk. What can be done to prevent it? Will Banks manage to find a cure? Emerson's book is shocking in quite a few aspects and allows us to see even more of their life. Em is MORE complicated than I thought it would ever be! These stories are so GOOD, so deep and I'm in love with every character. And that cliffhanger at the end... I NEED BOOK 6
