Ugh I’m sorry, but where’s the plot?
This book is about nothing. Literally nothing. It was super frustrating knowing something was going on but Laila getting barred from participating. We instead focused on her training with her aunt but it was so glossed over we didn’t even really get to get much of it. We also got dates with each one of the guys which took up time in the book. They were nice moments except toward the end they started ramping up and going quicker, being more glossed over. Once we got to Shanton it was quick. Dwight’s date was interrupted. But these dates were to help Laila feel comfortable enough with the guys to broach bonding with them. This I could understand the reasoning behind, she wanted to feel more secure before she dove in.
But there was something going on with the shifters in the background, which everyone seemed a part of except Laila. This irked me. Venni and Alijah were keeping things from Laila and I’m not even certain what it was or if we ever found out. Unless it was the shifters having issues? Idk. I didn’t like it. She kept being sidelined but she’s this powerful smart person and I felt like they weren’t treating her like it.
Then she’s kidnapped. And aside from being beat up a bit it went pretty easily imo. Because after the kidnapping her aunt went on and dealt with the council. I still don’t know why Laila couldn’t go. No one explained anything about anything which is what annoyed me the most. She was kept out of her lab, she was kept out of what they were doing, and yet they want to be with her, and for them to talk to her? Then we don’t even get to see them grow as a relationship we don’t get enough intimacy. Sure there were some fabulous moments, especially with Alijah that I loved, but we didn’t get enough of them and them working on their dynamic. I felt like Shanton was an afterthought. I didn’t like how the attention was divided and how we didn’t get to see anything.
Then the epilogue. It’s 10 years in the future (and I wish it said that under the words epilogue) and we get to see them doing the bonding ceremony which is cool sure, but we didn’t get tot see them love, we didn’t get to see them grow. We didn’t get enough. Where this ended is not where I’d end it unfortunately because I felt like there was so much story left to be had. We didn’t deal with the council and yet they were part of the story. The elementalists were part of the story but just poofed and became no problem?
The last several books were adventures and a bit of fun. This one was subdued and didn’t feel as much adventure focused. And that’s why I rated the book a 2. I don’t want to. I wanted to like it. It was going to be a 3 before I found out we don’t grow with her. I even updated my statuses for this book on my goodreads with some of my thoughts. Like I was confused. And I wanted more of the relationship but also the adventure.

Although I enjoyed that story, I thought the author had more to say. Truthfully, I thought that this story ended too early, I believe that the author had more to say in the matter of what she believed in. Not only is her world complex but throughout the series, she intertwines her stories with previously conflicts that happen without inflicting the storyline. Although she ended her series, there are still some unanswered questions, for instance, the question of will she have any children? The issue with the council of Elementals. If continued, I am confident that she would have had a conflict with the witches, nothing that she may have done but mostly because of the political aspect of the book. I do wish that this series continued but this series came to a closing.

I wasn't ready for it to end!
Such a great series! I wasn't ready for it to end. This series was the perfect blend of strong character development, fascinating world, mystery, suspense, romantic tension and chemistry. All while still managing not to cross over into too heavy or dark. This is a series I gobbled up, one book after the next, and will likely reread. Highly recommend!

This is the final book in the Biomystic Security (BMS) series, and wraps up Laila and her harem's story. As a whole, I preferred the magic and danger aspects of this series, because I felt like the romance was lacking, with neither readers nor Laila getting to know enough about the heroes on the page. Interestingly, this final book addressed this a little, having Laila go on dates with some of the guys and asking about their backgrounds. Unfortunately it felt a bit too little, too late as it's the final book and they already seem to love each other, etc. I again found the magic/powers portion of the story the most interesting in this book, and there was a minor shifter subplot that was interesting too, but too far in the background to really flourish. I also felt like Laila's journey felt incomplete - we don't get to see her really learn, embrace and wield her new elementalist powers, and she seems weaker for it at the end of the series than she did in book one. This book did not have the detailed exploration of a single magic issue or mystery and focused more on the romance aspect, but it felt more like a list of events trying to accomplish something in the romance department rather than something organic to the story. I think perhaps there ended up being too many heroes in the harem for the length of the series, even though I liked the potential of each one of them and was continually drawn in by wanting to see their relationships grow. There is a nice HEA epilogue, but if I recall correctly, Laila didn't even have sex with some of the men at all on the page, and that is disappointing (for the record, I'm fine with no sex romances, but it occurred to me reading this book that I personally would prefer that if there is going to be some, there is some for all of the heroes). That being said, I applaud this author for making her own path, and writing the story she wanted to write, because part of what I liked about the series overall was its uniqueness of story over many of the RH's on the market.

I read this entire 5-volume series during the pandemic/quarantine of 2020 (still going on, at this review's writing, May, 2020) Since I don't read a lot these days, and almost never finish a book, much a series, I wish I could say my perseverance was due to great writing, characters or plot.... But, no. Mostly, curiosity and boredom.
Since this is the final book of this author's first series, and she is young, I will be gentle. BUT, there are numerous editing/proofreading/formatting problems with this and every volume in this series. Plus, it's not actually a "series," by my definition. The entire series, with the exception of the final Epilogue, takes place within one calendar year. That makes it a stand-alone novel, IMO, and it should have been published that way.
She also added a Volume 2.5, which I did read, and that was even shorter than the others and just as mediocre. Sheesh.
But, since it is a 'series," my review of Volume I is: good start, mediocre set-up and not-credible back-stories. Two-dimensional characters almost uniformly, except for the one-D characters and the MC.
Dr. Laila Porter (see other reviews for summaries; I don't bother, here) has more depth than any other characters, and I did find her interesting. However, there are so many holes in the world-building here that I can't even get started. I suspended my disbelief and just went along for the ride.
Then, there is the whole polyamory/"reverse harem" aspect, with which I am not the least bit familiar as a writing genre. Is it? The online definition of this term fits this use: "A 'reverse harem' includes three or more characters who potentially show romantic interest in a female protagonist....A genre in manga and anime." BUT, that is NOT what a females-comprised "harem" is, so why the use of that term? And, this is not "manga" or "anime," so, I'm baffled.
I do like some Urban Fantasy and some Paranormal genre books, and this is both, IMO, with a lot of Romance/sex thrown in (somewhat gratuitously, it seems to me, and characters are having sexual fantasies/thoughts and conversations way too often (e.g., in the middle of a battle, injury recovery, kidnapping, etc.). There were many things I did like about this book, and it was free, so I bought the other ebooks and continued (since each Volume read like about 4 -8 chapters of a regular novel).
If you're bored, if you like graphic interspecies but heterosexual and mostly vanilla sex, if you like descriptions of "magic," "power," shapeshifters, vampires, and witches, etc.,and a strong, smart, but impulsive and adolescent (actually ad behaviorally/emotionally) cis-gender female MC you'll like this just fine.

A sassy heroine and a tribe of men.
Rather than just the book this is about the entire series. One thing I love about #whychoose is that we get to explore all of the different character traits the men in the harem have. And we dont have to pick one over the other.
Seeing the heroine grow throughout this series, even in the short space of the year that the events took place was fascinating. Laila had some serious hang ups at the start of this series. A controlling person with a desperate need to know everything about everyone. When we learn more about her past, it is easy to understand why, and even though some of her faults are still there at the end of the book, she is working on them still. A true change, letting go of her stubbornness.
If you like a girl to be spoiled by a large harem of men, you are in for a real treat. The men are all dangerous, some human, most not, but every single one of them has Laila's best interests at heart, are protective to a fault and have some hang ups of their own. Seven men. Seven! And each man is a well rounded character, with their own history, their own reasons for falling for the young lab technician who stole their hearts without even trying. Without even realising what she was doing. By the time she does realise, it's too late for her to stop them taking their own pieces of her heart to cherish too.
Each man has a different place in her heart, from being a protector, an advisor, a friend who helps talk through the emotions she doesnt understand and even someone to bring about the silly times, the fun times she missed out on as a child.
The men have their own dynamics as well. There is no M/M in this harem, so Laila really has to work to keep them all happy. With a couple of strong alphas and a few betas in the fold, there is a definite struggle for dominance between them, a struggle to allow their inner beasts to share their precious find with the rest of the group. While they are friends at the start of the series, their dynamics change as soon as Laila comes into the fold.
The conflict within the books is fantastically written and fought out. The characters are allowed to make mistakes. Big ones. And not everything is fixable. I love this as many authors use a magic system to fix everything as though it never happened, which in some cases can cheapen the emotions the reader expends as they suffer along withthe characters. This doesnt happen here and the author is great at helping you through the grief that appears.
The books are fast paced and well worth the read. The action kept me on my toes and the medium heat level was a nice distraction.

I like this series but I didn’t enjoy this book. I think is it was very rushed, I feel like there was a lot that was not finished or if it was, it wasn’t enough for you to actually engage with the story..
I don’t know if it’s because it’s a series where magic and work has a first priority even before romance but I didn’t feel like therelationship was develop enough to ask for a forever. Moreover when it came to someone with as much trouble issues with people as our protagonist.
First of all we don’t get to know how Venn fix his relationship with his family, we have five books and there is seven guys and we literally do not have a more intimate scene with some of them, this book was supposed to be about her learning to control her new powers but there is little to none about it…in order to obtain full control over her powers she needs to release the control over it she doesn’t do that and we don’t get to see her fully potential, there’s a snake in the relationship with her guys and we don’t get to see (for example in this book I feel like her relationship with Dwight is very basic and we almost do not see Shamon at all)…..
And also there is things in previous books that I really don’t understand why they play out the way they did.. For example, when the elementist make it so that if she is not in the meeting they won’t appear and she is arguing that with Shanon, he just made her look like a little baby and told her this was more about her but she doesn’t know what, because he won’t tell her what he wants from them and also it was something they have to do for him not for the wellbeing of the population, so basically he is putting his needs above hers and asking her just to take it if she does?
I don’t really know what to say about it… overall it’s a good series but if you’re looking for something a little bit more on the erotic side just wanna do it for you and I will almost say that if you just stop reading on the fourth book it wouldn’t be such a loss…

I was on a slump. I always find flaws or cringe moments in other books so I wasn't able to finish them. But this series was really good, I love how Laila was not just doing magic but also explaining the processes, making it really show how hard and complicated what she was doing and how genius she is. Yes, she's powerful and badass fmc that it seems like she's overpowered but what I said above really helps to see that it's not really that easy, (if u get what I mean, I hate it sometimes when they are so powerful that everything they do seems easy). Other than that, the mcs really have personalities, they don't just fall in love with her at first sight and fall in their knees for her or they fall in love after making it into her pants. Which I really like (and find frustrating sometimes, I get u fmc hahaha) I just wish there's more scenes about the guys, to really feel like they are alive and not just fiction men, (like having their own pov) 'cause the story was focus on the fmc. Finally, It's really worth the read guys, If you have recos of smart fmcs like this one, I would appreciate it much!

Cute Ending
This last book was sweet and ended with a HEA. I enjoyed the whole series and liked all the diverse characters. Even with the conclusion, I could still see spin off series happening and enjoying it with the hope of lingering questions being answered.
I do wish we got to learn and experience more of the guys though. I feel like we didn’t get to see too much of their true depth and past.
Laila though was thoroughly detailed with her past, mannerisms, etc., which was a big factor in letting us relate and appreciate her.
Last thing I wanted to mention- as much as I liked the guys, I wish the separate relationships with them and Laila would have been more fleshed out with relationship progression. It felt like for four books it was all a build up with little intimacy on the pretense of getting to know each other and developing bonds, but then this last book seemed like a sudden jump to the intimate moment.
Overall, I’m happy with the ending and really glad I took the chance on reading this series.

heroine \\ Dr. Laila Porter
harem \\ Dwight Lombardi, Cyril Stanton, Rhett, Alijah, Venni, Davies, Elliott
Overall Series Score : 3.5
Overall, this series was pretty entertaining and I was intrigued enough to read them back to back. There were moments that I didn't care for the heroine's personality, but that's because of my bias towards hard-ass heroines. Although Laila certainly demonstrated a tough persona most of the time, there were moments when she seemed far too innocent for my taste to really become fan.
HOWEVER, I think the author did an excellent job of weaving Laila's story that suited her life experience. Like her guys often mentioned, Laila is only 19 years old despite her genius and hard exterior. Because of her terrible upbringing, her mental growth was stunted with hardships and she was taking on more bad things in only 19 years than seemed acceptable for such a short period of time. As such, her inability to sufficiently cope with trauma and her lack of trust was very understandable.
For the most part, this series focused more on the actual storyline and Laila's character development, as opposed to the actual romance. Surprisingly, I didn't have an issue with that and thought the romantic development was just fine.

Had great potential
I kept hoping for more from this series. The H didn't have as much personal growth as i would have liked, and asking the men to be hers after sleeping with them once and maybe a total of 3 dates each seemed too far fetched for me personally.
The series overall just didn't work for me, especially as a "slow burn reverse harem", there didn't seem to be a burn at all, more like a fizzle.
The writing was good though and i would be willing to give this author another try. These characters just never quite reached their potential for me.

As you can see from the overall five star rating, I love this series.
I think Jalzia doesn't get enough credit for her first published series. The characters are great. After finishing a book you don't have to move on because a bad cliffhanger but because I love the characters, side characters and the plot. I always wanted to go on and on without skipping a page until I know how this will end. I couldn't binge the series, but I would have, if there hadn't been borrowed books that I had to return.
The series is so worth reading!

I read a lot, and occasionally I will find a series that drags me so deep into it's world, I don't want to leave! This is one. I couldn't stop reading until I had finished the last book, and longed for just one more! Did Laila's aunt ever bond with her bodyguard? Were the shifters ever able to accept the mixed breeds? Does Laila ever decide to become a mother? Can Ami find a love to make her change her ways? (she does need a harem of her own)
Enquiring minds want to know!

Fun Series
I really enjoyed this series. Layla was a wonderful MC. She was bright and powerful yet flawed which made her more realistic. The magic was fun and I loved the inventions, I just wish there had been more in later books. The guys were great though there wasn't as much depth to their character development as I would have preferred. Overall, this was fun and I would definitely be interested in reading more from this author.

The guys were great though there wasn't as much depth to their character development as I would have preferred. Overall, this was fun and I would definitely be interested in reading more from this author.

Amazing series
Wow! I was captivated by the first book and read all five back to back. This one is as good as the others. Beautifully written characters, an imaginative storyline and impossible to put down.
I read a lot and have rarely been this engaged with a series.
I will definitely be reading everything this author writes.

Amazing conclusion to the series
One of the best series in the RH world. This series was full of character, emotion, and magical growth. I love Laila and her men. Their relationship was a give and take on learning which is hard to find in an RH story. I really hope there's an epilogue with children. I think Laila and her men deserve that reward.

The ending sucked. For such tensions and almost an outright war in the society to have everything solved by just a couple of threats was underwhelming. And we did not even see the conflict resolution, we were only told about it. Nope. Also I would have liked more relationship growth. Again, showing is much better then telling. So I feel cheated of a good story.

Omg thus series <3 The characters are real, not perfect and therefore relatable. Each book has it's own plot with conclusion, always full of action balanced with backstory and character development. The relationships will make you want to continue reading. So worth it!

Fun series
This is a fun, quick read. Not too dark, and not super steamy. The author does a good job of creating distinct characters and a cool new world. It's definitely slow burn for a RH- I would love it if she increases the heat in future books.

The final book in the series! I'm so sad to see these characters go! I feel like I just got them and they just settled and now it's over!
LOVED this series, it's definitely on my top 5 for the year. Can't wait to revisit it!

so good!
I loved this series so much! It had the perfect blend of action, adventure, drama, and romance! I’m sad to see the series end, but am glad to have gotten to enjoy Laila’s journey!

A great finale
Sad to see this series go because it had potential for more books. I was hoping she would add more guys or to get a glimpse of maybe babies but oh well. Nevertheless I enjoyed the series and I’m glad I gave it a chance.

Not a lot of plot in the one compared to the precedent books BUT lots of dates and relationship developments
I really liked Laila and her 7 guys.
7 guys is a lot, but I still got attached to all of them

A little bit torn!
On the whole I loved this series. The magic, the creatures, the familiar, long lost family. It really did have a whole lot of everything in it. My issue is the epilogue it was so meh and the ending those last few chapters were so rushed. Just a shame..

Terrific series!
This is one of the few series I have read in entirety. It was great from book one thru book five. The characters are wonderful and the Laila is a rare MFC who is never silly, weak or annoying…I highly recommend…

Three stars may be a little unfair, but I was truly disappointed in the epilogue. We spent five books watching the relationships unfold and the epilogue just jumped straight to ever after without seeing what the relationships looked like when Laila was all in. I wanted more than we got.

Fare thee well
Well another enjoyable ride through Laila's world. The only small but significant complaint is that it is far too short a journey.
