I tried to read this one last summer but just could not get into it. I think it was a combination of my mood just not wanting to read because I just found out I was pregnant, and my mind was just not on reading. So, I ended up just returning the KU book. But I finally circled back to it and I loved how this was written! It's an emotionally heavy book. We're following Avery's healing very closely. She's a domestic abuse survivor and when the book starts, she and her daughter just start escaping her husband and we see her struggling to get back on track. I mean they are living in their car she has less than $50 and is struggling hard to get anything to go her way but she's determined to give her daughter a better life. I love how she meets the MMCs, and I love that we don't just flip a switch and suddenly she's in this harem. We see her struggle to heal even after finding the guys and they are determined to help her heal and be there for her while also dealing with their own traumas. It is on the slower side, but I was obsessed. It worked for this story. Plus, I love how Rivers handled the husband. She gave him as little page time as possible but still wrapped up his part of the story.
