From the New York Times bestselling author of the Loving on the Edge and the Say Anything series comes a new steamy standalone MMF romance that proves good girls can have fun too...especially when she's their good girl.
O’Neal Lory has been taught that one mistake can undo an entire life of right decisions. That it doesn’t matter if a person has been good ninety-nine percent of the time. One misstep, one snap judgment, can derail everything. So, she’s taken a lot of right steps on the straight and narrow path. Eighteen years of them, in fact. Perfect grades. No rules broken. And definitely no boys.
Until she kisses him.
Auden Blake knows he shouldn’t touch his little sister’s best friend, knows that innocent girls like her should stay far, far away from him and his roommate Lennox—especially when she could reveal their behind-closed-doors activities to his family. But when sheltered O’Neal goes rogue, ditching her scholarship to a conservative all-girls college and showing up at Bennette State—his school—instead, it’s going to take everything Auden has to keep his and Lennox’s hands off the curious good girl whose teach me vibes could unravel them both.
Good Girl Fail is a full-length standalone MMF romance with lots of steam, two heroes who like to share and get a little bossy, and a good girl heroine who’s about to break every rule that’s ever been placed upon her.
Roni wrote her first romance novel at age fifteen when she discovered writing about boys was way easier than actually talking to them. Since then, her flirting skills haven’t improved, but she likes to think her storytelling ability has. She holds a master’s degree in social work and spent years as a mental health counselor, but now she writes full time from her cozy office in North Texas where she puts her characters on the therapy couch instead. She is a two-time RITA Award winner and a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.
Good Girl Fail by Roni Loren Contemporary MMF romance with erotica elements. O’Neal was brought up with very strict grandparents and was on a specific path to a “good” school. When it’s time to go to college, she rebels and decides to follow her heart in pursuit of a journalist degree. The school is the same of her schoolgirl crush and brother of her best friend. Auden is told to protect O’Neal. Saving O’Neal from drunken decisions leads down a path of sexual initiation for her and a fantasy relationship for Auden and Lennox.
Steamy hot and electric as O’Neal, Auden, and Lennox make decisions on their relationships.
🎧 I listened to an audiobook version narrated by Samantha Summers. The performance is breathless with steamy intensity and emotional clarity. The storyline is easy to follow and get lost in as the trio engage in their new friendship and more.
I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and Dreamscape Media.
I would’ve happily taught you anything you wanted to know too.” He gave her a full smile, a wicked gleam in his eyes. “Feel free to reach out later if you want. You can get your bachelor’s degree with Auden. When you’re ready for your master’s, come and find me.”
I have spent years waiting for Roni to get back to her erotic romance/BDSM roots. I first discovered and fell in love with her writing with her Loving On The Edge series. So when she announced this book, I was giddy with fangirl excitement. A New Adult MMF poly romance? Yes, please and thank you!
It's funny because third person POV used to be all I read back in the day. Now I struggle to read anything outside of first person. I can't help but wish this was written in first person POV because I would have loved it that much more. But while it took me a minute to get used to the third, it never detracted from the story.
O’Neal Lory is the definition of sheltered. She grew up in a deeply religious household with two very strict grandparents who didn't allow her to do much of anything. And generally, this sort of naiveté is not my cuppa when it comes to my MFCs, there was something so endearing about O'Neal that I couldn't help but like her. Was she super sheltered, yes. But she also recognized that and rebelled against her strict upbringing in a smart way. She made the difficult decision to follow her own path and attend the university of her choice that her mother had attended, against her grandparents' wishes, causing them to essentially disown her.
O'Neal has been crushing on her best friend's older brother for as long as she's been aware of boys. But even though they shared one fiery kiss, Auden knows he's not for her. She's too sweet and naive for him. But when O'Neal ends up at his university, the chemistry between them is too much to deny. But the Auden that he is at home, is not the same man he is at school. Auden hides his sexual cravings from his small town, so no one but his best friend and roommate knows about his dominance and desire to share.
When O'Neal all but dares him to teach her, he's up for the challenge. And so is his sinfully sexy best friend, Lennox.
This story was fiery hot, and I loved the dynamic between Auden and Lennox. I loved their bond and friendship, but especially their chemistry. I loved the way O'Neal added to their dynamic and her innocence wrapped in passion. This is a girl that doesn't live by her past and doesn't shy away from her desires. I loved that about her.
My one quibble with this book is the story arc of O'Neal's mother. There's so much attention given to this and quite a lot centered around it, yet it ultimately felt highly anticlimactic and unresolved. The romance was amazing, and I loved these three together, but I also couldn't help but feel something was missing. Maybe a longer epilogue? Maybe another book? I can't quite place my finger on it, but something was missing to make this a solid 4 for me.
I can't help but hope this will be the start of a new series because I want more of this world from this author.

“Len could glitter like the surface of the ocean, but if you got past that, you could drown in the depths below.”
For you hoes that enjoy poly romances, you need to read this new adult, MMF romance.
Poly romances just seem to come along with great communication, incredible connections, intimacy and beautiful-ness all round. I never tire of reading them.
O’Neal is the main focus of this story. Having come from an extremely sheltered/strict upbringing, she finally made the choice to break out of that life and live life according to her needs and it was great to see her explore that.
I do wish we got to see her explore life outside of the relationship more. It would’ve been interesting to see her confront her grandparents who wanted her to be a certain way. But then I also liked how much focus there was on the romance itself and seeing her discover who she is within that relationship.
The steam was what it needed to be. Top notch. Auden and Lennox… I fell in love with them.
Again, I do wish that we had explored their own dynamic more since it was so damn sweet. I loved how much they guided O’Neal and how open and honest they were with her. And the bond between them… 🥹
But I can’t really complain much about how this story developed. I didn’t want to put it down. I fell in love with these characters and the world and I really hope we get to see more of it.
Thank you to Roni Loren for an ARC in exchange for an honest review
It’s no surprise that I adore Roni Loren’s writing and her Say Everything series. This is her return to her erotica roots and can I just say—I’m shooked!
For starters, this is a MMF book and New Adult. One of which (NA) I am not a fan of. Despite of the college setting and the age range of characters of which I usually despise, I actually enjoyed this book still. We have O’Neal who is a sheltered girl who is coming into her own after escaping her conservative grandsparent’s thumb. Forbidden to do basically everything deemed ‘bad’ she leaves for college and comes across Auden and Lennox who change her life.
I really enjoyed the character dynamics and each character is developed and explored with their own insecurities. Also, each character was HAWT and likable especially Lennox (phew *fans self*). I highly enjoyed how sensitive topics, consent, and open communication about experimentation was treated. My only nitpick for the story ended up being that O’Neal mother’s backstory felt misplaced and random whenever it was brought up that it kind of detracted the story to me.
Anyways, I would highly recommend Good Girl Fail if you’re looking for:
3.5 stars I loved the first half of this book. The second half, not so much. I think I would’ve loved it more if it had been just MF instead of a ménage. While i loved O’Neal & Arden’s connection and chemistry, O’Neal & Lennox felt so forced. I could believe how fast and easy O’Neal & Auden and Lennox & Auden fell for each other but O’Neal & Lennox not so much. I did love all the friendship dynamics though.
4.5 Stars Holy Moly! This novel was so steamy! I'm surprised my glasses didn't fog up.
O'Neal had grown up in a strict household because of her grandparents. Feeling extremely sheltered and suffocated, she chose to rebel against her grandparents' wishes and went to a college of her choosing. There she was able to let go and find herself.
I absolutely enjoyed this storyline. There were some actual emotions behind it. The story felt real and believable. Well, at least when it came to the romance between O'Neal, Auden, and Lennox. I had to deduct half a star for the mother's story. It was too similar to O'Neal's personal story. What are the chances of that? But other than that, it was an entertaining novel that I didn't want to put down!
Highly recommend it to fans of erotica, menage, and MMF romances.
*Side Note- Not a novel to read at work.*
***A big thank you to NetGalley, Roni Loren, and Dreamscape Media for graciously sending me the audiobook to review. As always, all thoughts are my own.**
4.5⭐️ having a chance to be involved with your best friend’s brother AND his best friend so they can give you ‘lessons’…i’m game
i practically inhaled this book, i could not put it down
i loved how unapologetically open this book was, beliefs, sexuality, exploring different aspect about ones self, we watched these characters learn new things about themselves and each other and it was done in such a safe and loving way
the spice in this book was everything, especially hearing it narrated (whenever the narrator would speak for Auden, i couldn’t take it, it was too good😭)
i wish we could’ve spent even more time with these characters, i did not want this book to end, i was just eating up every little crumb i could get
also i need all other authors to take notes, forget ‘babe’ and ‘baby’ we need more ‘sweets’ and ‘sweet girl’‼️
thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the audiobook arc
This was SPICEY 🔥🔥🔥 To be honest, I liked it and could totally get on board right up until the almost end. The pet about her mother’s death was ridiculous. It was too much, too over the top to have them both in the same situation. To be honest, without that part I’d give it a solid 4 but that part was so unrealistic it ruined it for me.
🌀Synopsis O’Neal is finally taking her own path. She’s been incredibly sheltered her whole life from her grandparents- who raised her after her mother’s murder. Now she’s off to college and determined to experience the world. Her best friend’s brother, Auden, goes to the same school and starts watching out for O’Neal. One drunken night, things go too far and Auden takes O’Neal’s virginity. It doesn’t stop there, though Auden tries. O’Neal has been in love with Auden since she was a kid and she’s not ready to give up. She decides to make him jealous using his roommate Lennox. Things take a twist when Auden reveals that he and Lennox regularly share girls and have some odd “kinks” they participate in. O’Neal willingly joins in but then leaves them both out of fear. When they all realize they love each other, they find their way back to each other- the three of them together and in love.
I loved Auden and Lennox. The only thing I really wanted was a bit more from the angle of Auden’s mom’s murder and some sort of permanent closure from the relationship with her grandparents.
Roni Loren is one of my faves! She does not play when it comes to steam and she delivered on it here with all the poly love & kink your heart could desire while also giving all the consideration, consent and heart she always provides! I always fall for her characters and want them happy - whatever that looks like for them.
New college O'Neal is now free from religiously oppressive grandparents who raised her in a conservative, sheltered, and shameful home after the death of her mother who everyone thought was being a "bad girl." Attending the same college as the mother who died when O'Neal was a baby is the first step in discovering who she is as she also explores a journalism career.
The fact Auden Blake, O'Neal's best friend's brother and childhood crush (and first and only kiss) also attends this college may have factored a bit in O'Neal's decision, but she wasn't anticipating him to have such a strong protective presence in her college life. That he seems to want to keep completely platonic even if O'Neal can sense his attraction to her (and hers to him).
Auden Blake and his roommate and sometimes bedmate Lennox immediately hone in on O'Neal's curiosity and throbbing horny-ness that is just waiting for someone to explore with her. So why not make her journey exceptional??
What emerges is a messy combination of education, voyeurism, and falling in love with more than one person, along with combatting years of in-grained shame.
Like the story, this was messy for me. It is really hot, naturally, but some of the BDSM//Kink discussions didn't land for me. O'Neal is clueless, like really clueless, and FINALLY at the end of the story her new partners are giving her books/websites to explore. BUT as a student of journalism I found it a bit hard to believe she only thought she could research sex, k1nk, and other matters of sexuality from...p0rn??
I wish there had been a bit more of O'Neal finding herself at school, or having a bit of a wider circle of friends. It really felt like she went from one insular family to almost another? We never see Auden and Lennox with anyone else either really, despite their kinks and apparent community? I did like O'Neal's roommate a lot and appreciated her care and concern for O'Neal when she doesn't check in or is missing.
Also, the hint of 'mystery' over the death of her mother and O'Neal's search into finding out who killed her or what happened panned out in a odd manner spoiler: I think this was trying to serve to show what O'Neal has in common?? with her mother?? but honestly I wish this was already known to O'Neal as part of her mother's 'party girl//sinner' tabloid/news branding.
Also, there is SO much internal unpacking of shame, but mostly from Auden, who's STILL unpacking his stuff and it got just a bit heavy for me.
As always Roni Loren pen's an exciting romance and I did really like the last scenes which were joyful and fun for the new poly triad.
CW: internalized homophobia (countered), murder (in past, grief on page), emotionally controlling parents, conservative religious viewpoints that are meant to shame//cause fear (countered). Fear of outing.
I liked this book, but I thought that there wasn’t enough development.
O’Neal was fine and I liked how she didn’t let Auden tell her that she wasn’t experienced enough for them. Auden was a bit annoying because he was constantly trying to push O’Neal and Lennox away, and he was in denial. I really liked Lennox, but I thought that he wasn’t developed enough.
I liked their interactions as they balanced each other out, but I didn’t think that their relationship was developed enough. Auden and O’Neal knew each other when they were younger, Auden has known Lennox for a few years but he’s been in denial, and O’Neal and Lennox have only just met. While they do sort their problems out, I didn’t think that they knew each other enough to be as far in their relationship as they were, as they never really spent time together.
There were some side characters, like Maya and Quyen, but they were background characters and didn’t really exist in this book.
O’Neal wants to find out more about her mother, but that’s not really shown. There are two scenes where it says that O’Neal is reading articles about her mother’s death, and then in one scene she meets with someone her mother used to know. Nothing new is found out about the mother and she’s not even really mentioned. Maybe that’s realistic, but that’s not what I was looking for in this book.
Another thing that I wasn’t satisfied with was how a big part of the main characters’ conflict is that they think that Auden’s family is going to disown him (O’Neal’s grandparents have already done that, and Lennox’s family isn’t really mentioned but it seems like he doesn’t have contact with them) and the result isn’t shown. There is one short scene with Maya but it wasn’t enough.
This book was fine, but I didn’t think that it showed enough relationship or character development.
Omg. I literally loved this book sooo much! I've been in kind of a reading slump and this was the perfect book to pull me out of it. I kind of went in blind and I'm glad I did. So, O'Neal comes from a very sheltered upbringing and is breaking free! And now she's at college with her best friend's brother, Auden, and his tattooed artist roommate Lennox. Auden tries to resist, but the chemistry is undeniable. Not to mention, there's so much he can show O'Neal and teach her.
Like this book lit a fire within me. So freaking hottttt. I don't want to spoil anything, so I might edit after I go back and read the blurb, but let's just say sharing is caring. And the love goes every which way, but only between the three of them. There's good story with the steam, too. Of course. Because this author is fantastic. But Good Girl Fail is everything that made me fall in love with spicy romances! I'll definitely be rereading it soon.
I love Roni Loren's writing so I knew I'd like this book. What I didn't realize (my fault for going in blind) was how HOT this book was. I'm by no means a prude but this was way more steam than I usually read....and you know what, I was all in for it! I was really happy that the spicy scenes contributed to the storyline and loved the bonus chapter at the end of the audiobook. Fantastic narration....even if I did keep turning it down on my headphones when the kids were around, in fear they might hear!
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for this complimentary ALC in exchange for my honest review.
Thank you to the author for an advanced readers copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This has to be the steamiest, hottest book I have read a yet. It’s a New Adult MMF romance. I kind of wished they were older, but it works for this storyline with O’Neal.
O’Neal Lory has always crushed on her best friend’s older brother, Auden. She’s lived a very sheltered and strict life with her grandparents since her mother’s tragic death when O’Neal was five years old. Even her college has been chosen for her, though it doesn’t have her intended major.
After talking with Auden and surprising him (and herself) with a kiss, O’Neal applies at a different university (Auden’s university) and completely disobeys her grandparents.
O’Neal still has feelings for Auden once she gets to college, but she doesn’t want him being kind/helping her adjust to college out of obligation. One thing leads to another which leads to a steamy encounter with Auden and his roommate, Lennox.
Lennox—loved his character so much. He, for me, was the star of this book. He was the sensible one—the one that made Auden realize his true feelings for Lennox AND O’Neal. One of the best moments in this book was the tender scene between them when that was realized.
Be prepared for a lot of hot scenes between all three together and two separately. There’s also a lot of love, trust and warmth in their relationship.
I am a huge fan of this author and will always read more from her.
Listen, I love a good praise kink book but something I’ve noticed authors doing is writing praise kink where the extent of the praise kink is the phrase good girl and I really need authors to explore beyond that terminology when doing praise kink. There’s more to it! There are other words! Use them!
Secondly, I’m not into virgin kink or innocence lost or all that and I get that O’Neal has been super sheltered and lived an almost monastic existence for much of her life but she’s also studying journalism and seems to excel at research so I would have thought she would have done some research before bailing on her grandparents’ life plan for her and going off to a coed university. Like how to talk to boys, things to watch out for, sex, etc.
Third, why bring up the investigation of her mom’s murder if there’s no resolution there? That seemed very unsatisfying to me.
The sex was hot but again, let’s go beyond calling the FMC a good girl when she loves praise kink. Also, I get her being in love with Auden and vice versa and I also get Auden and Lennox being in love with each other but the Lennox and O’Neal romance was severely lacking.
Thank you to team Roni Loren for sending me an e-ARC of this book. All opinions are my own, and I was not obligated or paid to post a review.
If you were a fan of Roni’s Loving on the Edge series, then you’re really gonna love this one.
It is a M/M/F erotic romance, similar to Jace/Evan/Andre from Melt Into You. O’Neal is a sheltered orphan trying to escape her grandparent’s thumb; Auden is her best friend’s older brother; and Lennox is a brooding artist. So O’Neal throws caution to the wind and enrolls at Bennette college against her grandparent’s wishes. Auden is the only person she knows there. But she’s harbored a crush on him for a while…and when things beat up between Auden, Lennox, and O’Neal, will their old friendship survive?
I’m a sucker for the friends to lovers trope. Combine it with some smoking hot scenes, unbelievable chemistry, and Loren’s knack for creating likable characters, and you have the formula for an amazing read. O’Neal and Lennox were good foils for Auden’s stubborn streak. I was also surprised at how much I liked the character of Quyen. I’m a little bit hopeful she maybe gets her HEA down the road.
The only thing I can fault the book for was the ages. I wish they’d been bumped up just a bit, but that’s just personal preference. The ages also didn’t seem set in stone, but that could be tightened up during the proofreading and editing stage (since this is an ARC, it’s not a perfectly polished gem).
I am a super fan of Roni Loren's, so I jumped at the chance to join her ARC team the second I saw her announce a new book in her Facebook group. This was such a great return to her erotica roots.
Good Girl Fail is a steamy MMF new adult romance. As you might guess with this title, there has to be praise kink and excellent dirty talk. So much steam!
But more than that, I really loved the emotion that drives this book. Roni Loren's books always bring great backstories for characters, and this was no exception. O'Neal and Auden have known each other for years, as he's her best friend's older brother. She ended up following him to university, rather than going to the all-girls students her grandparents planned for her. Both O'Neal and Auden are trying to figure out who they are independent from the way they were raised in a conservative, religious community.
I wish we similarly got to know Len a bit better. We learn more about Auden and O'Neal, especially as we have their memories of growing up together. What we learn of Len shows him to be the most amazing and sensitive guy, a great counterpoint to Auden.
This book is by turns sweet and spicy. It's such a fun read.
Thank you to the author for the advanced reader copy. These opinions are my own.
I picked this up on a whim and it was a good time. This follows O’Neal Lory who has been sheltered her whole life after losing her mother to the party and college life. She was looked after by her strict grandparents. After a spontaneous moment at 18, she decided to kiss her best friend’s brother Auden. Now at 19, she is at the same college as Auden and ready to finally live her life and make her own decisions…
I listened to this on audio and the narrator Samantha Summers did an amazing job. I love how Auden and Lennox show O’Neal the way these two men make me swoon. The care compassion and understanding of how inexperienced she is gave me butterflies. I just really enjoyed this book. Just a couple of things, it is told in third person. For me, that isn’t an issue but others may struggle. It is repetitive with O’Neal being inexperienced but I managed to push it aside. Lastly the investigation I thought it would dive into it more but it didn’t. I wanted answers to what happened. But other than that this was a great read and the spice was so good. The praising, commanding and the aftercare stop these men are too good to be true.

Thank you Roni Loren for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.
I loved thia book it was hot, tender, emotional, deep and executed perfectly. I really loved how sensitive moments were treated and addressed. I found it liberating and freeing and an unconventional way of exploring and discovering. I had no idea Roni Loren had such a massive indie backlist i only was aware of her books as i am OBSESSED with her traditionally published 3 book series. My hardest task now is picking which of her backlist to read next.
Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and Roni Loren for the opportunity to listen to Good Girl Fail. It's about the fourth book I have 'read' by Loren, and I'm an absolute fan.
Good Girl Fail as an audio was great quality narration, easy changes between characters, and a pleasure to listen to in terms of the quality and presentation.
The storyline .... well, no complaints here. It's a steamy read between a sheltered O'Neil, who heads off to the college of her choosing on the advice of her friend's brother Auden. O'Neil and Auden share a simmering kiss on one occasion but Auden regrets it and O'Neil can't forget it. He encourages her to follow her own mind, rather than bow to her grandparent's expectations. When they meet up at college (she chooses the college he attends .. wink), Auden plans to stay away from her, but the pull of their chemistry is far too strong - and besides, like the good guy he is, his mother has asked him to keep an eye on O'Neil. And then O'Neil meets Auden's roommate Lennox.
Loren's characters are always well developed for mind. This one sees O'Neil grappling with her upbringing and trying to create a future for herself, free of the constraints of her overbearing grandparents. This is complicated by the fact her mother was murdered, and there's alot of innuendo and unknowns about the events surrounding her murder, with no perpetrator ever being identified. Auden is also trying to escape the small town he and O'Neil grew up in, and his familial expectations around his own future. He has other sides to himself he feels he is unable to express if he returns to that life (which is the future that is planned out for him).
And then there's Lennox. He's the real MVP for me - artsy, intense, brooding, and quintessentially straightforward and honest. He is the balance between these two, and interestingly the voice of reason on more than one occasion. He's more than an extra in their story.
For sensitive readers or listeners, this book is pretty steamy, and given it's an MMF dynamic there's alot to unpack. There are also BDSM elements (mild).
I struggled with the alternating story line about O'Neil's mother as I didn't really feel it added significantly to the story, though I see the parallels between her story as a cautionary tale, and the issues it raised for O'Neil - I just don't think it was as impactful as it could have been in terms of the outcome.
Also I did question the young-ish age of O'Neil - I just wasn't comfortable with it. It's just a personal preference though I get the transition age and phase in her life was a good time to set this story.
Thank you so much to Roni Loren for gifting me a review copy of her latest book.
O'Neal Lory has been extremely sheltered her whole life, but when she breaks with her family to go to a college with a good journalism school, rather than the all-girls college her grandparents have her signed up for, it's time to broaden her horizons.
As soon as she arrives she starts to think she's made a mistake, and is completely overwhelmed by almost everything. She's never been on her own before, and almost every new experience is her first time at it. Lucky for O'Neal, her best friend's older brother (who she's been crushing on forever) goes to the same college, and although he's conflicted about it, he feels it's his duty to take her under his wing.
Auden loves being four hours away from his family, and the town he grew up in. Back home they only know him as a polite young man who does all the right things. At college, he's been allowed to explore and find out what he likes, and it turns out he prefers kink to vanilla.
This steamy, page-turning MMF romance is one you're going to grab ASAP. I loved each of the characters, and the way they all grew and learned from each other. Lennox, Auden's roommate and friend was a real stand-out for me too. His character was amazing. Yes, there are some very hot scenes 🥵, but there are also a lot of beautifully-written emotions as well.
I'll admit I'm not usually a fan of virgin romances, but if anyone could make me enjoy one it's Roni Loren. As I got to know O'Neal, Auden, and Lennox more, I got over my doubts and was 100% along for the ride.
Content warnings for parental death, and strained family relationships.
This was steamy and great in all the right areas, but in all the others....it was odd. O'Neal's extreme deprivation of everything her grandparents deemed out of the ordinary includes swearing, movies past a PG rating, and being friends with boys. This is a contemporary book with an 18 year old and there just was not enough explanation for this to make any sense to me at all. And that shelteredness is a huge factor in the book when it comes to her being so naive but wanting to learn while in college. I just feel that this part could have been pulled back by like 50% and made way more sense.
And O'Neal's mother's backstory felt completely shoehorned in for no reason. When it was brought up again at the end and why, it felt truly bizarre.
The actual relationship and the coming of age part is really great. Could just use trimming of the extraneous pieces.
I didn't know this author was publishing a standalone so when i saw it i jumped on it. I was a bit afraid on the virgin trope but overall it was okay, it wasn't that focused on that more on the sheltered world O'Neal was. The first part of the book take it's time to be developped, a bit too much and then the second part of the book is going a hundred miles in a minute ... I feel like it actually didn't made sense and the ending was a bit abrupt. I feel like some things were not said. Overall i liked it but something was missing and the pace of the book was a bit off.
Eeeeee I am squealing, in the best way. I adore this. Poly romances honestly I think are a top favorite of mine. They just make me so friggin happy. The open honesty and communication and always checking in and asking for consent is so amazing and beautiful that I just smile the whole time.
Also this book was HOTTTT, your girl doesn’t blush much, but I listened to this on audio and I swear I blushed and smirked through half of it. Good LAWD. 🔥🔥🔥
This was fast paced with a childhood friendship to love and a new kind of insta love but I adored every second of it. I adored the openness and them each learning about each other and openly accepting each other and I just adored it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you NetGalley & Dreamscape Media for this Advance Listeners copy of Good Girl Fail.
I really enjoyed listening to this audiobook... the story had heart. I Recommend this if you like MMF romance with lots of steam, or even looking forward to trying something different.

✔️ best friend's brother ✔️ Male Male Female relationship ✔️ Sheltered Girl ✔️ Coming of Age ✔️ Steamy 🔥 🥵
This is a spicy book! I wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised! I love the strong female character. Even though she was raised sheltered and shamed, she found her own way, determined to become her own person. This book has MF, MFM & MM.
4,5. Mi corazón esta living,me ha encantado, los personajes son geniales (Lennox te amo). No le pongo 5 estrellas porque a veces el tema de "no debo hacer esto" o "la voy a corromper si hago tal" me estresaba un poco pero por lo demás genial. El final ha sido perfecto.
