Hard pass.

CW there is a rape scene that's prett detailed. Not with the dick, but it's honestly in my oopnion was more crudely detailed than the scenes with the MLs.

Tons of weird unrealistic things - like to the extreme. And the FL wasn't that annoying but very close - she's the sheltered rich white girl who spends 1k easy on things, left to go escape her arranged marriage. When Mac suddenly offers her a job, his background of helping people was believable...but I was just rolling my eyes when the FL wanted to buy a dress that had no use and Mac came in to buy it.

Basically the whole story felt like reading an outline, but no real huge meat of descriptions except in the oddest of parts. The steam is NOT that steamy in my opinion to a lot of RH I've read. It's definitely on the lighter side.

Going into spoilers, there's a lot of weird unrealistic things happening (to the EXTREME) - such as they ended up killing the guy who raped Margo, again no p to v, but then we have a scene of how they bureid him on the property...and that's it. Cops come later but NOT for what you think for, it's Margo's mom and stuff. However I was still...that's too ridduclous for me to believe.

The actual sex scene is at the end (and literally ends) where the three guys take her virginity which was really a meh scene.

All in all, I would hard pass and not have read this.

The more you get to know Margo, the more you feel sorry for her and the way she hasn’t been able to make any of her own decisions. She’s trying to. Make her life her own, and doesn’t have a clue how to do it. She doesn’t even know where she is when Mac offers her a job and place to stay on his ranch. It seems like a good place to start over. Mac is definitely a dream come true. Neither one of them have ever been in love, so this is uncharted territory for Mac and Margo. Then she meets Lorenzo, and thinks that something is wrong with her. Enter Donnie and Charlie, and Margo has some serious issues. This book will make you mad, sad, angry, happy, and laugh out loud. Good read and a very happy ending.

Margo is returning from a trip when she decides that she wants to make her own decisions and takes off driving. Her parents are trying to make her marry a man they picked because it will help her stepfather's company. She ends up in Wyoming and gets offered a position on a ranch own by Mac and his father. There she meets Donnie and Lorenzo. Things get even more complicated when she falls for all three men and her parents show up. Will she finally stand up to them? What will happen between her and the guys?

This is a great story that will captivate you from beginning to end. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Sometimes you need to be rescued to find yourself

Rescued is the third book in the Wicked Paradise series and the first I have read by Ava Quinn, but I have read other books by this author under a different nom de plume. This is an RH story with a bit of a twist on some things as the story of Margo, Donnie, Lorenzo and Mac develops. There is some drama, action, on potential trigger scene, a forced arrange marriage, freedom, and of course a lot of hot and juicy chemistry.
Overall it was an entertaining book that is nicely written and has likeable characters, unless you count her parents and another., There were a few things that did not quite hit the mark for me but that is just me. I will read more by this author in the future.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. This book is part of the Wicked Paradise series. It is a good story about learning to be true to yourself. Margo has never been in charge of her life. The arranged marriage is the final straw. When she gets the chance to run, she runs straight into Mac, Lorenzo and Donnie. She has a strong attraction to each of them. Margo is a mess with trouble following her. This book gives us the drama, defiance, struggles, determination, conflict, acceptance, passion and finally love.

Unimpressed.

The girl is a spoiled rich kid who doesn’t want to be forced into an arranged marriage, so she runs. She winds up on a ranch in Wyoming and the owners son offers her a job. Within 24 hours she is in love with him. But then she spends time with the second guy and because they have a moment, she decides that she’s falling for him too. Then there is an altercation with another ranch hand and the third saves her, he comforts her and yep, you guessed it, she’s now in love with him too. 🙄 All in less than 48 hours. I get the insta-love factor, but this was ridiculous.

There is a lot of potential with this story plot, but it was rushed so it just fell flat for me.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Margo, Mac, Lorenzo, & Donnie. When this book opens we find that Margo is on her way home to her arranged marriage. But the plane gets put down for an emergency stop before hand. Without much thought she takes off headed in the opposite direction of home. She finds that what she really wants it a life of her own. Will she find that with the help of these three men or will others make sure that never happens?

Amazing story I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Gripping steamy read.

Wow! There was a lot going on in this book including a number of disturbing scenes, but also a lot of sweetness and steam. Margo is desperately trying to make some decisions for herself and escape from an overbearing family. She finds Mac, and quickly develops feelings for him, but confusingly also for Lorenzo, and later Donnie. I would have loved to delve deeper into all of the characters, but found it a very gripping and engaging read.

an interesting and good read

Trigger warnings - detailed rape scene but rescued before vag pen. Still upsetting to most. Also description of murder.

No alphaholes, all devoted and caring alpha men. Instalove for all, but done believably enough, not ridiculous. No punishment, humiliation or other BDSM themes. No m/m scenes. No Smex till very end of story. FMC virgin. I thought story was very good, didn’t see any grammar errors and nothing cheesy or too unrealistic to break you out of story.

[Natasha Tucker · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! This was an emotional rollercoaster. Twists and turns, heartache and love, Margot, Mac, Donnie and Lorenzo had a long, dangerous, emotional journey to the HEA. Wonderful, hot, steamy, Reverse Harem romance, that will have you hooked to the very last page!

Rescued is story that pulls in from the start, with a strong young woman that might be a bit naive but stands up to what she wants. With the three guys on her side this passionate story will hold you to the end.

3.5 stars
Very cute and sweet despite the darker elements. Margo and the guys are all likeable and I was really hoping they would get their HEA. I am curious as to hold old Max and Donnie are and what the potential age gaps might be with Margo.

This was a good story, it started out with margo being promised to a man she doesnt know to finding herself on a ranch surrounded by sexy men. All three had smoking hot chemistry and that really made this book hot. It's a must read.

[Sara Munoz · Rating 5 out of 5]

She found a way to live her life for her not her parents. All because he plane was rerouted she was able to find where she belongs, with her strong sexy men. Loved all the books in this series

This was different from some of the other RH I have read. Margo wanted to be her own person and not do what's told expected of her by her parents. She did have to mature once on her own. Not a bad read.

[TELA666 · Rating 4 out of 5]

There was more anticipation and a slower build up to this than I expected, especially given the length. Margot was also given time to develop and find her confidence to express her needs.

Great book!

This was such a wonderful instalove story. Poor Margo and her arraigned marriage. Running seems like the only solution. And Mac, Lorenzo, and Donnie are all there to catch her when she stops running. The romance is swoon worthy. Where can I find guys like this?

[Kim · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was not for me. It was very short, so the detail and story were lacking. The FMC was stoopid...like TDTL. I just couldn't with her. Everything felt very rushed and I cannot deal with that level of insta-love.

[Jo · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow what a story. I’m glad there was a happy ending but she had to overcome her crazy family to find happiness. Definitely enjoyed this story.

[Mandy Robitaille · Rating 4 out of 5]

Cute Read

What happens when you are supposed to be getting married (arranged) and you run and end up with the guys who are your soul mates.

[Jenifer · Rating 3 out of 5]

A disturbing scene takes place half way through the book that shapes the narrative for the FMC. It's stopped before it goes too far, but it could be a trigger for some.
