A better way would be sticking together that was the point of choosing her. 2nd is the relationship with the other guys if that’s the relationship they all want and planned for there should be more affection, they go from all the randoms to not even hugging Harper? Not realistic. Please don’t let the next book be them struggling to get back together or them hating her.

And I loved the guys. All sides of them. And especialy when they always encouraged Harper to be herself, and the hell with the rest. \r\nBut Harper on the other hand... I really liked her at the beginning. I thought she had this kinda badass\u002frebellion vibe. But after the guys stepped into her life, she switched. Reacting like 'a good girl' should to certain situations. I kept wondering, if Harper was meant for the guys. Because sometimes she was too soft. Too naive. Too good girl. And those have no place in the guys world. \r\nAnd about the reverse harem part. I love reading these type of stories. But I'm not sure about it here. It feels like it wouldn't work between Alex, Buck, Jett, Draven and Harper. They weren't equally invested. The guys made this plan, but one of them have a problem with sharing. If he had a choice, he wouldn't share. And Harper... In other stories, h loves all the guys. For different reasons, but it doesn't mean that she loves any less or more. But Harper seems to have feelings for one guy and the rest is just like friends. Like I said, I love reverse harem, but if they all aren't 100% invested in it emotionally, I prefer no sharing. \r\nBut that ending.... I love those moments in a story. Tough, I have to say I'm dissapointed in Draven. For him to believe that easily.
