Love by Numbers #8
9 Marines' Shared Property
My world is turned upside down when nine hot-as-sin marine men decide to claim me.
Burned by my cheating ex, my only love is the café I run in San Diego.
Then, one day, marine triplets show up. It’s impossible to resist their flirtation.
Tough, with battle-hardened bodies and sharp minds, they’re what wet dreams are made of.
Soon I find myself breaking all my rules and becoming more adventurous than ever.
I’m sexting with the guys, saying naughty things I’ve never dared to utter.
When they tell me that there are nine of them and that they share everything, I’m taken aback.
Certainly, not everything?
They assure me they do, then make a scandalous proposition. They want me to be theirs.
To say I’m shocked is an understatement. How could I handle nine warriors?
I try to stay away, but it’s impossible. Their commanding presence and discipline wears me down inch by inch.
Nine powerful Marines will claim me and give me pleasure like I’ve never experienced before.
But can I really bind myself to all nine of them?

A really fun, easy read. I really liked it! It's mostly lighthearted but when danger does lurk, the Marines spring into action! There's plenty of silliness, flirting, steam, and miscommunication that keeps the story going.
The biggest downside with nine guys and one girl in a long novella / short novel is that it doesn't allow for a lot of character development but the glimpses we get show a bit of their hearts, their hopes and fears. It's often endearing. The ending that this unit gets is fun and sweet. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

The story was good, but it had some real issues. The rules were stupid. They couldn't figure out how to make her happy by seeing them more except to get get her a hotel room and screw throughout the day. Dumb. The rules were the problem. Marines would have figured it out. Also... Even in the military, we have shifts. People don't work day and night shift in the same week. They should have been able to have dinner with her all the time, if they wanted. And the final big surprise, and ending... I didn't feel it. In fact, I didn't feel they had progressed enough that they would take it that way and the end felt super open. Tristan was different? But they were all good. This definitely didn't live up to the first 7.

Gwen had an intriguing read. This was a fun book. I receive a free arc copy of the book. And am voluntarily leaving my honest opinion.

Gwen loves the café she owns in San Diego and not really looking for a relationship. When she meets a sexy set of triplets. What will happen when she learns that nine sexy marines what to share her and make her theirs? Fast-paced read with lots of drama and intense chemistry. I really liked it.

"We don’t have a leader,” said Santiago. “There’s no hierarchy among us.”
“Hmm. I guess that makes me the leader, then.” I said.
Wow. This was a lot of men. So many that I remember none of them. *facepalm*

Started off really good, with the baking, guys, and innuendos. I liked the Halloween party scene (it was cool yet it kinda creeped me out). I didn't like the first time they went to the hotel, they were being super aggressive. The whole calling her their property thing, though they discussed this was not good, they played the whole thing off like a joke. It still kinda bothered me, especially how the main character didn't seemed bother by it. The FMC was very passive aggressive the whole time rather than communicating her frustrations to the guys. With that being said, a lot of the problems in the book boiled down to communication issues and the guys rules. I HATED the guys rules. Like a lot. I feel like they were so dumb. Like no one could go on a date with her alone? So DUMB. Where is the trust? Also for the first couple of dates they had to wait until all 9 of them were all together. Eye roll. So she would wait like a week to get together. That really drew out the problem. Oh yeah! And communication had to go through one guy, which was completely stupid, get a group chat. One guy, Axle, got the most POVs apart from the FMC. I wished it was more balanced, but I think it was because he is the brother of the girl from the previous book. Idk, I didn't read them in order.

This is the eighth book in the Love By Numbers series. In this book, we meet nine Marines: Axel (who we meet in Book 7 - his sister is Alexa), Elijah, J.P., Nolan, Manny, Santiago, and the triplets, Travis, Taylor and Tristan. Then there’s Gwen - a local bakery owner who has sworn off relationships after her last disastrous one. What started out as flippant flirtation - a game - quickly turned into a free for all.
The good: When Gwen needed them most - even when she was out of communication with them - her Marines risked it all to protect her. The old-fashioned idea of handwritten notes and pictures to sustain a soldier when they’re deployed. The closeness of Gwen and her friend/roommate, Holly. The idea that nine Marines - all alpha males - could entertain and then enter into a poly amorous relationship and grower closer to each other because of it. The sergeant in the deployment scene (Note: although after 26 years, he should be a Master Sergeant or Sergeant Major.)
Now for the not so good: The author has to develop many characters in this book - the 10 people in the relationship plus Gwen’s roommate, ex-boyfriend, and her employees, not to mention family members of all involved and the tie in to past book. For me, personally, the book fell a little flat in character development. I would have liked to have known who each man was - what brought them to the Marines, what was their relationship background, what were their personal preferences, their emotional needs, what about their families - who they are as individuals. What were they willing to risk or how were they willing to grow to have a relationship with Gwen and in essence, each other. I would have liked to read about communication of desires and needs - particularly with the masquerade scene. Intimate scenes are quick and dirty - I guess to fit the “property” game. I didn’t care for the term used throughout the book to describe Gwen’s body. For a business owner, Gwen was immature, unprofessional and lackadaisical. I don’t know any business owner who would leave their business and not tell the staff where they were going or how long they’d be gone, particularly for a new business and primary baker. Much less not, tell her closest friends she was leaving town.
There is a HEA with a few surprises thrown in. I’ve been a fan of the series and am looking forward to the next one, but for me, this one fell a little flat.

This is a quick steamy romance that leaves you asking for more.
To be perfectly honest, I think I found this book to be entertaining for reasons the author didn't expect.
I was kind of expecting more from the steamy scenes! For having nine partners the scenes were really brief. They were well-written, but when those sections end I was usually thinking "Huh, that was short. Did she really do it with all nine of those guys in that time span?"
Overall? A fun afternoon read, plot is pretty straightforward, the HEA wraps up the story pretty nicely.

Nicole Casey is fast becoming a must read author for me and this book only adds to that distinction. She has a way of drawing you into her stories from the very 1st word to the last one. Her story telling and world building is so wonderful that you feel like you are part of the story (this one might get me blushing a lot). The characters that she writes about are so delightfully flawed that you can't help cheer for their happily ever after. In our crazy world today I so enjoy escaping into a terrific book that leaves you feeling so good at the end. Axel, Elijah, Santiago, Nolan, J.P., Manny, Travis, Tristan, Taylor and Gwen's (I lot of names but it is a story about 10 people after all) story is one of deciding that you are willing to follow your heart regardless of the opinions of the world. This story has everything that you could want in a book; comedy, action, drama, conflict and of course hot, hot romance (as I mentioned there are 10 people involved how could it not). All the books in this series are ones you want to read but this one is especially fantastic.

She doesn't want a relationship........so she gets 9 of them instead!
Nine Marines' Shared Property is the eighth book in the Love by Numbers series. This is the story of Gwen and Axel, Elijah, J.P., Nolan, Santiago, Manny, Travis, Taylor and Tristan. As these books progress in the series they keep getting more interesting. It seems that the whole team is ready to have Gwen be there's and she decides to explore a different side she never knew she had....letting the wild child out it seems.
So there were some fun things about this book. But there were a few things that I wish the author had gotten into a bit more.........like the s-e-x scenes start out great but end quickly, at least for this number of guys. Also I would have liked to see more one on one between Gwen and each of the guys. I thought this book was good just not the best of the series, at least for me. But overall I am still a fan of this series and can't wait to see what happens in the next book.
I received a copy of this book for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

I love these books! I love how technically they all go together in one way or another but still can be read as a stand-alone.
Gwen owns a bakery and I absolutely loved her! She’s funny, a little shy, but her head is all over the place. She’s a tad wacky and I love it! She meets her 9 military men at her bakery. They all have a thing for her and Axel suggests sharing her so she doesn’t have to pick. All the guys are amazing in their own way. They end up being perfect for Gwen in their own unique ways. Honestly loved watching them come together and Gwen grow out of her shell due to an ex.
It is a fun book with lots of steam, a few twists, laughs, and so much more. Wonderfully written and flows so easy. This author is awesome!

Who adores the love by numbers series? I know that I do.
Gwen, Axel, J.P., Travis, Tristan, Taylor, Manny, Elijah, Santiago and Nolan are going to keep your nose buried in your Kindle, from beginning through to the very end. I encourage all, open minded, fictional romance reader's to see what happens when one visit to Gwen's business, The Bean Counter, turns each of these ten characters World upside down, in the most exciting way.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader's copy of 9 Marines' Shared Property in exchange for my honest and voluntarily given opinion and I highly recommend reading this release as well as the entire Series.
Congratulations to Ms. Nicole Casey for another wonderfully crafted romance.

WTF
Just… wtf. I skimmed so much of it because I was trying to figure out if the awful writing would be redeemed with an ending that made sense.
Soooooo many plot holes. You’re telling me she went and had a BABY and right after giving birth, she screws all her guys when they get home and NOBODY notices her body has changed. Her belly isn’t saggy and she doesn’t have stretch marks or bigger boobs from breast feeding?
She gets “kidnapped” in a way and all she does is laugh when they rescue her and then get over it?
And what’s with the way they all talk?? It’s clear this author has NEVER been around military men. Just… wtf

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.
In this book we meet Gwen, Axel, J.P., Travis, Tristan, Taylor, Manny, Elijiah, Nolan, and Santiago. When this book opens we find the men sitting around talking about what they would want to have to hold on deployment. When that begins they talk about a girls picture they would like the girl waiting for them to come home. This then leads to all of them thinking of the same girl Gwen. One by one as they discuss Gwen they all realize they aren't jealous of the other but they all still want her non the less. So they come up with an agreement that they will only see her together and hope they can form a bond strong enough to last their deployment. Gwen has been burned in the past by an ex and is not looking to repeat past mistakes that is why she doesn't date. So when the guys suggest going on a group outing and not calling it a date she agrees as long as she can bring some friends. The guys agree but make it very clear they only want her. This confuses her and she thinks they are just playing a game so she thinks there is no harm in playing a game with them. What happens though when feelings get involved on all sides. Will they find a HEA or will it be the beginning of the end?
This is another hit out of the park for this author. It does have its ups and downs I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you on the edge of your seat from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Gwen finds love with her Squad of Marines!
by sewsummore
Gwen was not exactly sure how it came about, but she was in a relationship with nine marines and loved it. At first, she had told them she didn't date, but after a bad relationship, but was happy to meet them as friends. As for the marines, they all wanted to date her, and since they already shared everything, why not Gwen. They made rules for each other, what they could and couldn't do, and how she as to be treated with care and respect at all times. It had not taken the marines long to break down Gwen's resistance, and soon Gwen was in a relationship with all nine of them. I found this book an amusing, fantasy story about friendship and love. The men respected Gwen and felt she belonged to them as a group, not just one of them alone. When it became time for the marines to be deployed, the relationship continued through the mail with pen and paper, sometimes with individual letters but mostly with letters penned together. Gwen's letters were always eagerly read and re-read, as the men imagined her voice speaking to them with a smile on her face. She told them she had a surprise waiting for them when they returned, a surprise that neither myself as the reader or the marines expected.

Fantastic!!! This book is amazing and I loved it! In another excellent chapter in the Love By Numbers Saga, it's Gwen's turn and she gets 9! Still not over her last relationship, where her boyfriend cheated on her, she's not looking to date. Then the guys start coming into her cafe and she's speechless. Axel, Tristan, Taylor, Travis, Nolan, Santiago, Elijah, JP, and Manny are all Marines stationed near her cafe. They all want to be with her and since they share everything, they want to try with Gwen. She's uncertain at first but soon gives it a try. Things are going well until the guys get news of an upcoming deployment and training ramps up leaving little time for fun with Gwen. Doubts begin to plague her and soon a misunderstanding will send her into the path of her ex and danger. The guys will race to her rescue and save her, and her best friend and roommate, Holly, will clear up the misunderstanding. Things are good between them when the guys ship out and they will come home ten months later to a wonderful surprise - their baby!

A yummy treat times 9
I loved loved loved this book. I am a huge RH fan girl, and I sometimes can't get enough of my "fix". My book boyfriends are always so much more real and interesting to me than a "real" guy. I did have 2 problems with this book. 1 no squad, patoon, or battalion is going to allow 3 brothers to be in the same squad. This goes back to the civil war and WWII when a family line was ended because of all the brothers having died in combat. (don't believe me watch saving Pvt. Ryan) 2nd Tristan had a trauma in his past it was mentioned buy them it just was forgotten about. I would have liked to know more about his feelings and how he overcame them. Also at time I was confused as to whom was speaking. I often had to go back to the chapter to see who's name was written on it.
Other than those small things I loved the story. It had good flow, was written so well and was free of the usual blunders and missed spelled words like other books have. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys RH books.

Ok, so obviously going into this book I didn't think it was going to be solid gold reading. I went in wanting fun and flirty, partial ridiculousness, but all and all cheesy and cute. I will say it did meet those desires in parts of the book more than once, there were things that just didn't make sense or sit super well with me.
Insta-love (ish) in general is hard. Writing in a way that is remotely plausible and makes a reader jump on board can be difficult, but we know it is possible after some character building. With the FMC, she lost me. Gwen went from being this shy tongue tied, can’t say anything remotely sexy, can't even take a mans order in her own coffee to overnight being overtly sexual, sending so many although def chuckle worthy, inuendo texts and openly making out/being naked/group fucking with not even a pause. it was like reading one chapter with one FMC and the next chapter had a different FMC.
Love the concept, love the men and that they are military. Turned off by reading Snatch multiple times in sexy time scenes.

Gwen is a cafe owner. The cafe was located by a military base. Gwen would consider herself shy, awkward and not ready to be in a relationship. That is until she starts seeing Axel, Santiago, J.P., Nolan, Elijah, Manny, Travis, Taylor, Tristan. They all woo her in there own way but at the same time they let her know they want to be with her and only her. They set ground rules that they all have to follow. Gwen thought that it was all a game so she decided to play along. Since she wasn't into being in a relationship. She thought hey why not have some fun with nine marines. Well the " I don't want to be in a relationship" went down the gutter real quick. All the guys have there own personality but the utmost is that they all care about Gwen and would do anything to protect her. I enjoyed reading this book. I loved the storyline and plot.

This book is part of the Love by Numbers series. It can be read as a standalone but I would recommend reading the series. There are character crossovers, for example, this book mentions Alexa, Axel's sister and her multi-partner relationship which was a previous book in the series. This is Gwen's story on how a strong business woman got burned with love and vowed never to endanger her heart again until not one but nine marines inserted themselves into her life. Axel, Santiago, Noah, Elijah, Tristan, Travis, Taylor, J.P. and Manny are a tight squad unit, they do everything together including falling in love with a single woman. I enjoyed reading this story, I loved the characters and their unique personalities as well as the relationship challenges that we all face, maybe just not to the ninth degree. As always, I look forward to reading more of this author. Enjoy!

Gwen is a local bakery owner that has given up on dating and men. She's happy on her own or so she thought. Axel, J.P., Elijah, Santiago, Manny, Nolan, Travis, Tristan and Taylor are all marines and want to have someone back home for when they are away like in the movies. They think Gwen is that woman for them and they don't mind sharing but will they be able to convince her to be with all of them? Gwen is drawn to all the guys but isn't sure if they are serious or if this is a game to them. That is until they all talk to her about what they want and she know they aren't lying. Can they make something like this work? Will a misunderstanding cause problems for them?
This is a great story once I started it I couldn't put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Gwen is a local bakery owner that has given up on dating and men after finding her ex with another woman. She's happy on her own running her little bakery. or so she thought. Axel, J.P., Elijah, Santiago, Manny, Nolan, Travis, Tristan and Taylor are all marines in the same unit and want to have someone back home waiting on them to return when they've been deployed. After hearing about Gwen from Axel all of the rest of the unit make it a point to go to her bakery. She doesn't want to go out with one of them, much less all 9, but her friends dare her & she can't help but do it. Slowly, she develops feelings for all of them, which is a good thing since they are determined to share her. She has a secret for them when they come home from their deployment, and she can't wait to share it.
Wonderfully written characters who are each uniquely developed. Story ends with a HEA and lots of steamy scenes.

"FASCINATING! Nine Marines was pure heaven! It was my first RH where the female had more than 4 man in her life and being honest I wasn't sure how it was going to be but I thought why not? and give it a try. Here I am thanking all the gods for Nicole writing. I can't seem to be able to find the right words to praise this story.
Okay, okay so nine marines and one girl as expected EXPLOSIVE and so intense they melted my kindle. One of the thing I liked the most is how the 10 of them embrace in the relationship, it was my first RH story not paranormal so to me it was something not so usual. I really like that how each one of the guys had a saying and part in the story. Each one of the was different and together were a unique team in all sort of ways. I can't seem to stop laughing when I remember their rules. It was hilarious but important for the development!
We had 10 different POV's how great is that!!!! It was such a good story that I highly recommend it!!

First things first; I really like the cover of this book!
Nine marines shared property is the eighth book in the ‘’love by numbers’’ series. This story is short, fast paced and an enjoyable read. I read this book in one sitting and was satisfied throughout. I found the writing style easy to follow, the characters likeable and the storyline enjoyable.
I liked this story but not as much as I did with the previous books in this series.
Gwen is a bakery owner that isn’t looking for love. When she ends up with nine hot marines that want her, will she let them share her?
I did see some chemistry between Gwen and her men but I would have liked more. I know the heroes were busy and had commitments but it felt like Gwen was an after thought most of the time.
I really liked the ending and the epilogue for this story.
The storyline for this book is easy to follow and it is an enjoyable read. I cannot wait for more books from this series. I need Holly’s story now!

Wow, this story had me in tears I didn’t even no where they were coming from. It seems I took the same emotional journey that everyone was on throughout this story. I really love when I can connect in some way to the characters or storyline. They all had some type of baggage to solve or overcome. I must say with friends and family by your side all your obstacles, past and present will eventually come to an understanding and growth. I do love how Axel took the lead on uniting his team and Gwen. I also, admire Gwen to being open minded and taking the leap into unknown territory, which turned out to be the best relationship for her. Most of all, I love how the squad became as one even with their surprise no one walked out instead they admired her.

Gwen had put everything into her work after disasterious relationship with Michael ended she insisted she was done with relationships. So when a a hot marine from the nearby base asked her out she turned him down but not one but 9 hot hunky marines blew her mind away she couldn't help falling for them. I loved this story it was funny with all the banter going between the 10 of them, it was so damn HOT, there was frustration when couldn't be together as often as they liked but it also made Gwen feel worthless when she found out that they'd made rules about when/where/who saw her but it took the drama of her bringing kidnapped by her ex for them all to be up front with how they felt about each other & the surprise at the end was fantastic.

An imaginative Squad
This book is pretty entertaining. I did find it a little hard to follow who was who or who's point of view I was reading. There was a wee bit of humour and lots of learning to co-date. I sorta felt it was strange that they didn't really figure out how to give her more individual attention... That was kinda the best bits about most of Nicole Casey's previous books... Not saying that the group outings aren't great too but for me the individual relationships are what makes the reverse harem relationship the best... The girl should not feel lonely with 9 men unless they all have to deploy together. I have to admit I love the stories with at least one naughty, humiliating, or protagonist in the mix. In this story the masquerade party is my favourite... is there a slight hint of BDSM play in the dungeon? I loved that...
