Therefore, lots of beastly shenanigans: anal, spanking, lots of domination, pretty much hogging the simplified storyline. That being said, I do like these, and LOVE Racy Sci-Fi Romance, Reverse Harem, Beasts-with-a hidden-heart-of-gold, and I'll take what I can get--and all recommendations in that genre. What I'd like to have seen:Please make longer, more romantic twists, turns, ups-&-downs. Maybe re-edit and reissue at some later point. Reading Recommendation: Don't binge the series fast. I've been binging 1/day--it's addictive, and due to brain-fatigue, my perceptions seem to be more negative the more tired I am....more

I wish this was longer or that he made more than a zero effort to get her back. (Maybe in the next rewrite, he can make a huge heroic effort to get her back. ) The obstacles get resolved way too easily or quickly, and the characters don't get much chance to be heroic.

Well, I might reread later to see if I feel the same about it.

The book: NOT a romance book, it's straight erotica (which isn't bad), but still, I wish the author would flesh out the characters and romance building more, and reissue in an expanded edition. I do Love romance plus spicy sex, and LOOOVE the idea of 2-3 men, but there was zero romantic relationship building (for me): ie no romantic buildup, then heartaching lows, then earning back the love; to build romantic drama and to make the sexy scenes "hot". Without the romance (for me), the sex isn't sexy. There was zero romantic earning of love here. #7 in the series is more romantic, but I've read other Dominant-submissive books that are much more dramatically romantic, with some serious earning of the love.
Instead of romance building or ANY courting behavior, there's a huge amount of men being constantly extremely unfriendly-&-bossy, hard spanking constantly for not doing everything exactly the way they wanted, huge emphasis on anal, and swallowing. I would hate to be in her position, trapped, it felt claustrophobic. It made me want the female lead secretly get really good at independent wilderness-living skills, run-off, make her own way in the wilderness, maybe snag herself a Nice-dude, and make these too-bossy guys earn her love and an attitude adjustment. Honestly, why does this have to be a dominance/submissive series anyway? Multiple-husbands makes such brilliant practical sense as far as providing stability for the wife & kids. (I'd been looking at my genealogy, and witnessing the tragedy of husband's early deaths and the impact on the wife & kids.)...more
