Phoenix ShiftARS #1
Phoenix Rise
My name is Lieutenant Harlow and I've just been attached to a small unit on an army base far from where I was settled. I'm 23 and recently out of training, so although I rank higher than the three guys in my team, they treat me like the newby. The three guys are gay and also lovers so the team dynamics are off. Luckily these guys look at me like a conquest and welcome me in. They are huge guys, solid muscle and tower 6 inches above me . Despite coming top of my class in fitness, martial arts and target shooting, to them my 5ft10 frame makes me seem like a delicate flower. They think I'm straight, I won't tell them I've been tempted before. Just like I won't tell them my shift beast.
But all my secrets might come out anyway as these guys peel away my layers until they break my core.
This is an M/MMM harem novel suitable for over 18's due to the sexual content

About the author
Charlotte Brice
54 books116 followersCharlotte Brice started writing at the age of thirteen when her handwriting looked like a drunken spider tried to navigate its way across the page. Practicing her handwriting got a lot more interesting when her gran gave her two Rawhide books, and her imagination took over.
Charlotte is left-handed and can lick her own nose.
She lives in England with her husband, and many animals, four of them human. Attack chickens, confused dragons and moving rocks make up the majority of the menagerie. We can't expect much better from someone who studied fruit flies during her animal science degree and then qualified as a vet.
She remembers those days fondly, when putting her arm up a cow's bottom, and socks on emus' heads was her kind of normality. Now her head is filled with tentacles and schizophrenic phoenixes.

This book left me totally confused for the first few chapters. On one page I knew what was going on, then the next threw me into confusion again. At times it did feel a little rushed and I felt like I'd missed out on a chapter a few times, I think I'dhave liked some more explanations, but I now understand why it was sometimes a little vague.
Harlow is a new graduate, assigned his first posting, however it doesn't start the way he imagined. He came across as a bit unsure of himself and hesitant, even though he was suppose to be a superior.
I couldn't decide between 3 or 4 stars but I loved the story of Harlow after I managed to figure out what was going on, and I enjoyed the dynamics of the team. I do want to carry on and read the next book.

This book was absolutely incredible! From start to finish this book hooked me and had me turning pages. It's action packed, full of intrigue, sexy guys, shifters, and the steaminess is off the charts!! This is a M/MMM story that's wonderfully written, with relatable and likeable characters, and it's definitely a book you don't want to miss out on. I can't wait to read book two!! **This is the second edition of this book and filled with more content and more sexy goodness!!

I absolutely loved this book. I couldn't stop reading. I was hooked from the start. It has so many twists and turns, you really don't know what to expect next. Fated mates stories don't always get me hooked right away, but Harlow, Riley, Troy and Beckett are four of my most favourite characters that I have ever read. Charlotte's writing makes me wish I was a part of their world! I love these guys so much already and this is just the first book. I cannot wait to read what happens next!

They are strong characters and I love the dynamics in the relationship between the characters. I would strongly recommend this book and series.

😍SECOND EDITION JUST RELEASED WITH SO MUCH MORE CONTENT!😍
When I read the first edition of this book I loved it. Harlow and his team quickly won me over. Now we have this second edition with so much more content, and pov's from the other guys. I am over the fricking moon happy with the new material. Harlow is still his quirky, badass self. His life has been full of unpleasant experiences, and he's lacked the love of a family. With the ShiftARS is the only place he feels he can have a life. An unexpected turn of events leads Harlow to his new team, and has him discovering things about himself he otherwise would have never realized. I was all for his participation in team activities. Was lusting after Troy, Riley and Beckett. The fact they ride motorbikes, are total badasses in the ring, and sexy as hell, just has me wanting to lick them even more. Everything is far from perfect though. There's idiots who don't know when to shut their mouths, who have issues with gay men. There's shady individuals that are bound to ruin everything. A "demented eagle on fire" which has an unusual taste for certain body parts. And some confused fated mates that have their work cut out for them. The chemistry is strong, the intimate moments are steamy, and I can’t wait for more. More twists, more laughs, more heat, just MORE!! I love, love, love my shifter men. Book two is going to be amazing. GO READ THIS BOOK PEOPLE.

The first of the Phoenix ShiftARS series, you could get away with reading this alone as there’s no cliffhanger.
Sexually confused Harlow arrives at his new posting with a box full of hidden secrets, both figuratively and metaphorically speaking. Having left his girlfriend behind, how is he going to cope living with three insanely hot gay guys already in an established relationship, and can he resist an overwhelming attraction to all three of them. And for our three love interests, how are they going to react as one by one, Harlow’s secrets start to reveal themselves?
This is the third book of Charlotte’s I’ve read, and I love the reassurance of knowing what I'm walking into. Her writing as always beautifully draws us into each character, all fully relatable. For me her now clear signature has become the confusion and inability of her main characters to accept themselves, for whatever reasons. Over time we watch as they succumb to the love and reassurance of those who come into their lives.
Lovers of shifter, MM and harem stories are all going to do just fine with this one. Delve in and enjoy.

If you want a steamy read with a great story line than you need to read this book. This is an m/mmm book and was tastefully written. So be prepared for a lot of sexiness.
Wholy Heck is this book on fire. Here you follow Harlow, who is enlisted in an elite program for shifters. As he is getting ready to start his new post something goes wrong. However, he does meet his new team who is Riley, Troy and Beckett. He also finds out some interesting news about these three. Also Harlow is worried about his girlfriend Liz since he has not contacted her when he was supposed to. With that being said you get some scalding hot scenes that will make you heat up as well. You also get some mystery and action from the book. Some pretty intense moments to make your heart pound so hard you will need to put the book down to gather your wits. This book is freaking amazing and a must read. I cannot wait for the next book.

How does this have 3+ stars?
The writing is so fast paced and lacking details that for the majority of this book I had no idea why something was happening. The MC whose only ever dated women and only sparingly though about guys meets three in a poly relationship,is forced to move in with them, and on day two has a random orgy with all of them with absolutely no dialogue or build up? I’m choosing to ignore the horrible writing about the military aspect of this book because honestly there are too many things but it’s obvious no real research was done on that part of this story.
This could have been a wonderfully written story with steamy love interests and family mafia type intrigue but was a confusing and poorly written mash up of ideas that didn’t really work. I won’t be ready the rest.

Lieutenant Harlow, posted as a lead in a new army base except it is not a regular Army... it’s a part of secret organisation called Darkling Investigation Agency, ShiftArs...
The guys in the team are all gay and treat him as a kid... For them, he is a conquest to win... But he has secrets, which he isn’t ready to share... will he be won over?? Will the guys ever know all his secrets??
My first M/MMM and it’s exceptionally outstanding... A spicy and tasty dish for the readers to relish.... The Author's preparation of the dish is obviously and absolutely superb...

Omg this book is sensational!!!
Sweet and Steamy with an exciting story line to follow.
This is my first gay harem book and I am hooked.
Charlotte Brice has outdone herself with these characters.
As the lead character Harlow is a sweet guy who is just learning things about himself that his harem is ready and willing to teach him. He has a strength to him that even he doesn't realise until they show him.
The steam in this book is off the charts and I am going to follow this series right through to the end.

This was my first all male harem book, and I have to say that I wasn't disappointed! Charlotte Brice always does an amazing job with her books as well as creates characters that are both relatable and believable. I really enjoyed the dynamic she created between Harlow and the guys, even as they were trying to adjust to the death of a loved one. Between the action and the "action", you are in for an amazing read that will keep you wanting more. Can't wait for the next book in this series!

OMG, this is a wonderful read that had me hooked from the very first page all the way to the end of the last page. It moves along at a comfortable pace making for an easy read. The characters are so real that you feel as though you know them. You want to see them overcome anything that may stand in their way of succeeding. The story will keep you reading and when you are done, you will be wanting more. This book needs to be on your TBR list, no doubt about it.

Finding a home
This is the first book in the series and it sets the bar high. I really enjoyed the stories and the characters are to die for. Harlow stands up for himself though he just wants to find a safe place to call home. I love his inner monologues. This book does not skimp on the heat factor 🤤. You get to know some of the back story for the guys in his unit but looking forward to learning more.

Fantastic
Harlow isn't what they think he is, or even what he told them he is. He's also more special to them than he knows.
For the first time in his life he's surrounded by people who care about him, even if they're afraid to admit it.
Now he just has to choose between his past and his future.

It was a bit hard to get into it at first, but I enjoyed the story of Harlow and his men! The character development was great and the story got better as it went on! I read a lot of M/M books so it was a good change to read about a male harem! This book was great and can’t wait to dive into the next book!
December 30, 2020
Rather unique and engaging, this tale is full of surprises, a very confused but willing Harlow and intense chemistry between everyone. A fated mates story jam packed with action, well though out plot and betrayal. I enjoyed the bonding between the four men and how much potential there is to this story.
January 14, 2021
I loved Harlow here. Going to an elite school for shifters. All goes wrong but he meets the guys who are on the same team. Riley, Troy and Beckett and he finds interesting things about them. I was intrigued by the blurb and thought I have to read this for sure. It got above and beyond my expectations. A book well written and enough mystery to entertain you. A must read!
February 9, 2020
OMG!!!!! Such an awesomely phenomenal read!!!!! Shifters, hot sexy guys, intrigue with all of the feels!!! It's a M/MMM. My first time reading this genre and it was totally hot!!!!!
Absolutely can't wait for book 2!!!!

This book had me hooked just from the first 2 chapters. I couldn't put it down and the hotness factor was high up there. Harlow and the guys were steamy and made me feel like I was with them myself. This was the book to read for 2020 and can't wait for book 2.
April 6, 2020
Pleasantly surprised with this book. I don't normally go for the m/m tropes but apparently my great authors are pushing my boundaries. I'm glad for it. This book was great. The characters are awesome and the storyline is unique. I will definitely be reading the rest of this series.
