Synopsis:

I wasn't supposed to lust after my brother's two best friends.

I certainly wasn't supposed to lust over their brother, who's ten years older.

I wasn't supposed to break up with my boyfriend of two years at my birthday party.

I definitely wasn't supposed to lose my virginity that same night or do it all over again the next morning.

I wasn't supposed to move in with the three men that drive me insane, while also making my panties wet after I'm kicked out of my apartment.

And I really shouldn't be falling for them.

What can I say? I'm a sucker for blue eyes and crooked smiles.

This book is a Standalone Contemporary Reverse Harem romance. There is strong language, and sexual content. Intended for readers 18+. HEA

Review:

Violet never thought she would be put in a situation of having to resist the boys who terrorized her during her entire adolescence. The twins had always loved to pick on her and flirt with her even though she knew they were only doing so to get a rise out of her. That was until her eighteenth birthday. Violet realized that her boyfriend of two years was not the man she wanted to lose her virginity to. When she went to break up with him, he beat her to the punch. While not brokenhearted she seeks comfort where it is offered, in the arms of the twin boys who seem to have always been there for her. However, when the morning dawns and she realizes what she had done and how this could effect her brother being as they are two of his best friends she runs. She runs away as fast as she can but the universe won't let her run forever. When her apartment turns out to not be available to her anymore she has nowhere else to go. So she moves in with the same boys she ghosted after they took her virginity. Living with them is hell on both her sex drive and emotions. Add to the mix their older brother that Violet has had a crush on for years and she's hit the trifecta. Will she be able to resist the pull of the three men who have always made her heart race?

I gobbled this book up in a matter of hours. I started reading it late at night thinking I would get a few chapters in so at least I could feel I had made some strives towards my reading goal after a reading slump. By 6 A.M. I was turning my Kindle Scribe off and rubbing the exhaustion from my eyes. It has been a while since a book has captivated me so much that I decided to forego sleep in order to keep reading a story. There was heat, frustration (mainly over Violet's attempts to resist the guys), and a cute love story that may be a little unorthodox but still swoonworthy. My exhaustion may be a struggle today but it was well worth it in my opinion. 

I loved Grayson as a character. I did wish he was a little more fleshed out though. I feel like him being so in love with his old girlfriend for so long and losing her would which caused him to spiral would be a little more... complicated for him to overcome? The fact he had resisted Violet for so long, even looking at her as a little kid when she was younger, and then giving in would be a lot more of an internal struggle than it seemed to be. Instead of it being a gradual push and pull like Violet's was in getting with her brother's best friends it was more of a snap. He just flipped the switch. It was a little inconsistent for me there. But that was the only critique I could even muster up for the book.

I have not had a five-star read in quite some time but I am glad that this one made the cut. While it is a standalone, I may delve into the next books in the series just to see how a new cast of characters pan out. If you like sweet but spicy reverse harem books, this is a must read.
