If this is the first of my reviews that you’ve read, I usually write longer reviews. This book is short and hasn’t given me much to talk about. While this story is technically a reverse-harem fantasy romance story (or as I’ve taken to calling them; pin cushion smut), it’s almost entirely set up.
I still think this is good, despite the lack of payoff. Though I admittedly have a weak spot for fantasy and smut…. and reverse harem stories. If anything, I’m more worried about how this will be wrapped up in the sequel. Not a whole lot happened and I worry that it will feel rushed. If you’re looking for reverse harem smut by this same author with more of a payoff; might I suggest Lupine? It’s the only other series of hers I’ve dabbled in. I’ve also reviewed it, so go read that.
The narrator is good. I wish I had more to say. One of my favorite things to do is complain about narrators who can’t pronounce basic words such as caramel (which came up in this story). She pronounced it fine and there weren’t any of audible’s common errors. Overall the audio was great, which is a rarity for sure.
