5 In Lust Times Three Stars ⭐

Welcome to Haven, a small town with a population of 300 people. The perfect place for an abused girl on the run to hide. Hannah’s car breaking down is just another hard knock. She’s fought frantically to escape, so this can’t be the end. When Hannah stumbles across a dive bar, it’s Luke and Micah who are quick to help.

It’s like he understands this is just what I need right now, to be wrapped up in a sheet in his arms. To have all my pieces held together, until I stop falling apart.

It’s lust at first sight for brother’s Luke and Micah. Now in their care, Luke is quick to claim Hannah except he isn’t opposed to sharing; and neither is she. Yet the situation gets stickier with Daddy Sean thrown into the mix. As the mastermind of this criminal equation, Sean doesn’t need additional trouble on his doorstep. And that’s exactly what Hannah is.

They’re testing me, to see if I’ll go along; to see if they can share me. And the thought sends a blaze of heat through me.

Wowzah this was hot, and the unfolding of this love affair was spot on. Here we had 4 likeminded individuals without insecurities nor jealously. Just a desire to share and free will. Daddy Sean may have tried to be the voice of reason, but even his restraint had limitations...

“Listen up, old man,” she says, narrowing her eyes. “Don’t blame me if you’re walking around here with blue balls. That’s the choice you made. You think I don’t see how you look at me? You’re not mad I fucked both your sons. You’re mad that they’ve had this pussy and you haven’t.”

This was an awesome RH featuring a cast of shady characters that was steamy, well written and filled with wonderful suspense. Having now read two books by this author, I’m thinking she’s one to watch. I can’t recommend enough if you want something taboo, hot AF and fresh!

Okay so this got me conflicted. If i focus on the smut, steam and the sexy af men it was a great and entertaining story. But then the author added trauma to our Heroine's character development and that 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐠𝐨 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐬𝐨 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥. I'm gonna go with 2 stars cause my brain won't let me ignore this.
Now if you don't mind the little issues i'll get to in a minute, you'll have a fast-burn sexy read on your hands. Cause the smut, chemistry and passion was on point and hot as hell. So whether you agree with me or not if you can get past it, this will not bother you. Lucky Bastards.

]|I{•---------⋘⋙---------------•⪼⦕࿅⦖⪻•---------------⋘⋙---------•}I|[
Now you can't sell me even under the guise of insta-love that a woman who's been isolated and beaten for two years by her addicted, drunk and abusif ex-boyfriend, had sex with a guy she just met and lusting for more only three hours after she escaped from him. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬. 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥. 𝐍𝐨𝐭. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐞. 𝐍𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭.
There is no way that less than 𝟏𝟎 hours after escaping the guy who practically raped her every night and routinely threw her out of the bed in the middle of night, to drag her out and push her down the stairs just because, will be ready mentally or physically for any act of intimacy. I'm sorry but it doesn't make sense to me, you want to write smut by all means I'm here for it, but don't try to add layers to your characters that do not work with the pace of your story.
Hannah wanting to feel safe, loved and get her freedom and power back, yes absolutely I'm here for it. But her immediately having sex 𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐌𝐄 𝐃𝐀𝐘 she left the bastard and met the gues is a no way possibility. She never flinched or had any personal space awareness or flashback, I'm sorry but that's not possible.
𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐚 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞, her deciding to have a fresh start doesn't explain her open behavior. And having 𝐎𝐍𝐄 nightmare does not count as struggling after two years of abuse.

]|I{•---------⋘⋙---------------•⪼⦕࿅⦖⪻•---------------⋘⋙---------•}I|[
𝟏𝟗𝟓 pages was already too short for a 𝐑𝐇 with multiple 𝐏𝐎𝐕 but usually it's fine because we read them for the smut and not the deep poetic Romance. At least i do. So you cannot have the center of your harem deal with a 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐡 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐝. Cause It wasn't just physical but also a psychological one, the bastard was a master manipulator on top of being a perverted sadist. Trauma is not a personality trait, you can't throw it on like it's a joke. Use it properly or don't use it at all.
Now if she was on the run for a year or two before she met them, then yes, her behavior would be completely 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐕𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄. But presenting me with a victim of abuse less than 𝟑 hours after her escape, having only the clothe on her back, a stolen car, and a bag with an attitude that feels like she had years of therapy to repair the damage to her psyche and confidence is 𝐁𝐔𝐋𝐋𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐓 

]|I{•---------⋘⋙---------------•⪼⦕࿅⦖⪻•---------------⋘⋙---------•}I|[
Again if i can get my brain to stop being a cantankerous 𝐁*𝐓𝐂𝐇 and forget that giant red flag of inconsistency it wasn't that bad. This was a fast paced fun smutty story and it should have been just that. Since there is 𝐀𝐋𝐖𝐀𝐘𝐒 a lack of character development in shorter story, i was ready for it. You didn't need to give your 𝐅𝐌𝐂 trauma to make her interesting or strong, especially if you're not gonna follow through with it. Where was the actual healing, no i phrased that wrong cause we didn't get to have any sort of healing since she wasn't actually traumatized or damaged.
I know i may seem harsh or picky here but i take the stories as you give them to me. 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐒𝐦𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐲 𝐏𝐍𝐑 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐜 𝐅𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐬𝐲. So if you give me an erotica standalone taboo 𝐑𝐇 full of sexy times, i will expect exactly that and judge it for what it is. Here the trauma was not necessary or needed it, actually it ruined the vibe this story was aiming for instead of adding to it. 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬. It's that simple or at least give us a prologue with a time jump to explain her behavior.

*4.25* Here I was dutifully trying to get through my TBR this month, when I made the mistake of reading Isabella's review for this book, and I had to give it a try. Let me just tell you this book is utter ridiculousness! It is also filthy, delicious, taboo, and good steamy fun for all. And I do mean everyone, brothers, dad, and our fmc...

Haven was a quick, fun, steamy read.

Hannah leaves her abusive boyfriend; she wants to get as far from him as possible. She steals his very expensive Porshe, and two hours later, it breaks down.
Hannah panics since she has no one to call, and she is stranded in a town she doesn't know. She meets two extremely hot men in the town's only bar, Luke and Micha. Hannah has no place to stay, so they offer to put her up for the night and look at her car. When she arrives at the house, she is greeted by their extremely hot dad, Sean.

She never imagined she'd have such strong feelings for them so quickly. Each of the men offers her something different, and they begin to fall for each other.

Check out this book the next time you are looking for a quick and steamy read!

So this book gave me Credence vibes (dad and two sons who live in the woods) but this one ended with her having all three instead of picking one so I was intrigued. Overall it was a good book that was written well (especially the steamy scenes!) so I gave it a high rating. What I think I needed was more backstory from the fmc Hannah. I like how Sean showed restraint towards Hannah and I was fine with it when they finally got together but I realize I'm not a fan of DdLg. Her doing that while she was already with Luke and Micah made the book seem very taboo (like she was HIS child too). I've read plenty of taboo books though so it didn't deter me from reading.

What I thought of after reading: if they have a child and raise them in Haven....I could imagine the child wanting to leave town when they got older since it was implied the town had nothing happening in it lol.

Haven a Reverse Harem Taboo Romance.

Did it have steam? HELL YES! 🔥
Did it have 3 sexy AF men? Yes🔥
Did it have one lucky AF girl?Yes🔥

3 sexy AF men and Hannah who was on the ecaspe from her crazy criminal ex-boyfriend.

Hannah's car breaks down practically in the middle of nowhere and thankfully the only place for miles is open. Sean, Luke and Micah's Bar.
She walks in and finds Luke and Micah who take her in and home with them.

This book was HOT as hell. 🔥🔥🔥
You will definitely need to fan or a shower or...... reading this book for sure!
Love, love LOVED IT!!

I Recommend reading this book!!

If Credence by PD was wayyyy shorter and a true RH you would get something like this!

Overall I liked it. I think because it’s so short it does a disservice to the plot and relationships tho. I will always hate Insta-love and we get it in massive heapings here. Not enough build up or foundation building!!! Most of this book happens over a period of a week or two and when you consider everything that goes on that is just bananas 🤪

It’s also absolutely crazy to go from domestic violence to THIS situation in that time period for Hannah (our FMC). Like pls be serious.

ALL the characters are steaaaaaaming hot tho. You’ve got a blonde hells angels type, a dark haired broody morally grey type and a silver fox daddy 👅 I wanna lick em all

Hot hot hot but should have be at least 50% longer to give it some actual substance. Basically hot steamy garbagé (in a good way 😂)

The pervert in me could have personally gone with a DP scene too but alas 🥲

Meh...😕

I don't know what I just read😅 This book is a bad mix of RH, criminal/mafia romance, daddy/age gap steam, and other things. It was plain and didn't make sense overall...

The story tells about Ember, a girl who's been abused by her boyfriend (who's a criminal) during two years. When Ember is finally able to flee, she stole one of her ex luxury car but went down in a small town in the middle of nowhere, Haven. She seeked help from two hot guys who towed and hid her car in their garage and then met their dad...

Different things were a bit weird in this book.
So, Ember's ex is a criminal and guess what? The guys are criminal too!!!! How lucky!🙄
Ember is quickly resigned when her car broke down... She just let things go, not looking for a job or anything...Just do something girl!🙄
They kept the stolen car even repeating over and over that they have to get rid of it...So what are you waiting for???🙄
The last sex scene with Sean was a bit upsetting😱 This thing about hurting her but that's ok because "it will make daddy happy" is disgusting...almost dub-con here☹️

Well, I just have to say that this book wasn't interesting. The characters are meh, the storyline is lame and boring... Totally forgettable🤷🏻‍♀️

Plot ⭐️⭐️
Spice 🌶️🌶️.5
Vibes ⭐️⭐️⭐️
multi-1st person POV

If you're seeking a DV-fleeing alt girl wearing daisy dukes and thigh high heeled boots who falls for 2 brothers and their father, look no further. Unfortunately, that's pretty much as deep as it gets. This was quick, decently steamy, and had an alright romance but I definitely enjoyed Off Limits by Astra Rose more. Insta-love, some daddy kink (but honestly not that much), why-choose. DV issue gets resolved pretty easily. Not the deepest story I've read but a good palate cleanser for when you need something easy and steamy.

Wherever I end up, whatever happens to me, it doesn’t matter, as long as I never feel trapped like I did with Dane again. I will always put my freedom first.
I make a vow to myself then and there. I don’t know what’s coming next, or even where I’ll be in a week from now, or a month, or a year, but I promise myself: I’ll do it my way from now on. Everything on my terms.


Dondequiera que acabe, lo que sea que me ocurra, no importa, siempre y cuando no vuelva a sentirme atrapada como lo hice con Dane. Siempre pondré mi libertad en primer lugar.
Me hago voto a mí misma en ese momento. No sé lo que vendrá después, ni siquiera dónde estaré dentro de una semana, o un mes, o un año, pero me prometo: lo haré a mi manera a partir de ahora. Todo a mi manera.


No se cómo puntuar este libro ni cómo empezar a hacer la reseña.
¿Me ha gustado? Sí.
¿Es una historia que te marca? No.
¿Tiene un historia super profunda? Pues tampoco.
Pero es que me ha enganchado tanto y trata de un tema que nunca había leído... Que la verdad me ha gustado.
Quizás este libro no sea para todo el mundo porque aviso tiene tigger warnings, en concreto un harén inverso. Antes de leer el libro os recomiendo que os leáis la nota de la autora para que sepáis a que ateneros y evaluar el libro por lo que realmente es.

Hannah es una chica que vive en una relación tóxica y en la que sufre violencia de género. Por ello, cuando su novio Dane cae desmayado después de una noche de fiesta, ella coge su coche y se marcha lo más lejos posible de él. Pero en mitad del camino, concretamente en Haven, el coche se le rompe. Encuentra un bar donde se encuentra con dos hermanos dispuestos a ayudarla y a partir de ahí, Hannah empieza a experimentar cosas que nunca había experimentado, se promete no sentirse nunca más atada a nadie y vuelve a sentir el amor en esa familia tan particular que han formado Luke, Micah y Sean.

La historia en si no tiene mucho transfondo como he comentado antes, básicamente se basa en relaciones sexuales durante las 180 páginas que tiene el libro. Tiene muchísimo spice 🥵🌶️🌶️ y escenas de sexo muy explícitas.
Es un libro que está guay para engancharte y pasar un buen rato (ya me entendéis 😉😏).

Quiero hacer mención especial a Luke y Micah porque vaya machos... Yo la entiendo, si estuviera en su situación, tampoco sabría a quien elegir 😂

Voy a ponerle una puntuación de 2'5 ⭐ porque me ha entretenido y me ha parecido particular leer sobre este tipo de temas. No es algo que quizás comparta pero es algo de lo que me ha gustado saber y experimentar más sobre el tema.

En conclusión, es un libro entretenido, adictivo, spicy y con el tema del harén inverso. Un libro que una vez que lo coges no puedes parar de leer y con el que se puede salir de un parón lector. Tampoco esperarse la gran historia del mundo, porque no lo es, está pensado para entretener, experimentar y disfrutar de las relaciones sexuales de los personajes.

Haven By Astra Rose

“I was never safe, until we moved here. I will do anything to ensure it stays that way. For all of us. It’s why I’ll protect Hannah, just like I protected Luke, just like I make sure I’m in tight with Marcos and Riel so I can protect this family.”

“I will protect her. We will protect her. It’s us she can count on.”

“And if he got me out that door, I would truly never been safe again. He would have won. But he didn’t win. They saved me.”

“I don’t want to have to choose. Why can’t it just be like this? All of us together. Like family.”

I could not put this book down. Hannah, Luke, Micah and Sean’s story is so freaking hot!! Three protective men who save Hannah, and then all fall in love with her? Hannah taking back her life and her decisions and deciding to love all three men. The story is full of tension, some drama and a ton of spice!

Tropes:
Age Gap
Why Choose
Daddy Kink

Well, they do say the best way to get over a man is to get under another, in this case it’s a family of 3 big strong boys 🤭
What can I say? Why pick when you can have it all?

I kept saying JUST FUCK THE DAD ALREADY!!! Please let me know if anyone else outside this bubble can ever utter that sentence.

But all in all.....AHHHHHMAZE BALLZ!!!!

My first book by Astra Rose, the author. I really really enjoyed the story, the character development was great, they pulled you in and made you interested in them. I really enjoyed the dynamics between all four of the characters, and their interactions with each other. I can’t wait to read more stories by Astra Rose.

This book. THIS BOOK. *sigh* Credence on crack! 🙈

I can't even put into words how I feel about this book. I was excited to find something similar to Credence but no, this is so much darker.

A big lover of an age gap, reverse harem here! 👋🏻 But this just rubbed me the wrong way, I couldn't get behind the situation. There was definitely insta love, not much romance, and very dark themes focused on trauma and ex-boyfriend assaults.

That one scene at the end where Hannah is with all of them, mostly when she is with Sean was just too much. I think I liked Luka the best but I don't believe any of the characters had enough space to show much personality.

I also couldn't get behind Hannah opening up a strip club with them when you think about her trauma.

I wouldn't recommend this, but Luka deserves one star and the threesomes without Sean deserve another. Sean definitely ruined the vibes, and this book's darkness wasn't something to enjoy.
