When the schoolโ€™s mean queen forces me to my knees in front of the student body, everything changes.

And this time, he has his new crew and โ€œnoโ€ isnโ€™t part of their vocabulary.

When a night out puts me in a compromising position, Iโ€™m at their mercy. If they donโ€™t keep my secret, it could destroy more than my friendship.

Boys and Burlesque by Ripley Proserpina
Boys and Burlesque by Ripley Proserpina
Amazon Description

They were my whole worldโ€”four boys who morphed from best friends to lovers. They were my biggest fans, and my quiet strength.
Until they left me.
What I once gave freely became my weakness. Judged, shamed, alone, and with no one to count on, I found Iโ€™d do anything to survive. I never bared my soul, but my body was my ticket to success.
And fame.
Burlesque might not have been the type of dance I dreamed of, but it rocketed me to the top. My body was mine to own. If people wanted to see me, they had to pay for a ticket.
But all my carefully laid plans and rebuilt dreams crash when the spotlight lands on the boys who used to be mine.
Josh, Brant, Wes, and Landry are back, standing at the edge of the stage and holding the pieces of my heart.
They want forgiveness. A second chance.
But when I handed them my heart once, they shattered it. And I might not survive giving it to them again.

Thoughts from Paige

The sample on this is long.ย  I'm at chapter seven and it's 86% of the sample. It still feels like the prologue to the book.ย  I'm assuming our MC gets a wee bit more 'woman of the night'ish, but I can't tell yet.ย  So far the level of angst is high.ย  But, the book is definitely addressing the real-world societal demands of one partner per person, so that's something.ย  I think I'll keep reading, but so far it's not enough to derail me from finishing this post.

Breathe Me: Breathe Me Duet by C.R. Jane
Amazon Description

They say that true love only comes once in a lifetime. In my case, they were wrong. I gave my heart away three times. To the blue eyed sensitive soul, who read poetry when he thought no one was looking. To the green eyed jock, who made you laugh as hard as he made you cry. And to the dark eyed boy, whose dark heart only ever beat for me. They were my everything, until suddenly they werenโ€™t. They asked me to choose, but they were asking the impossible. Now it's my turn to ask for more than what they are willing to give. I only have three months left, and I just want to spend it with them. Will they accept my offer, or will four hearts live the remaining days of their lives in regret of what could have been? The letters have been sent. All that remains is for me to wait. Wait to see if their hearts are still mine. Because for as long as mine beats, it will always belong to them.

Eight Seconds To Fly: A Standalone Cowboy Romance by Grace McGinty
Amazon Description

Tessa May Everett had grown up loving four things in life; bull riding, her father and her best frenemies, Branch and Beau. But in less than eight seconds, sheโ€™d lost all four things and the single most important person in her life. Four years later, Tessa May is back and ready to reclaim her dreams. She was going to be the first woman to compete on the professional bull riding circuit, and nothing was going to stop her. Not the Boys Club that already held her to a different standard. Not the other riders who looked at her with barely veiled contempt. And certainly not the reappearance of her former crushes and now rivals. With her best friend Frankie at her side, Tessa May was going to do what sheโ€™d dreamed of since she was a little girl; ride rank bulls in front of cheering crowds. And if she happened to ride a few cowboys on the way? Even better. *Warning* This book may contain strong themes that some readers find disturbing or confronting and reader discretion is advised. This is a reverse harem romance, with swearing and a considerable amount of steam.

Her Secret: A Reverse Harem Second Chance Romance (Bad Influence Book 1) by Ivy Fox
Amazon Description

โ€œOur love is so much more than a mere catastrophic occurrence.โ€

My name is Freya Wilson.
I am not your typical girl next door.
Iโ€™m far from it.

As my mother likes to point out since I graduated high school, I should be planning my life instead of wallowing around the house, in my pajamas all day. Girls my age are either preparing for college or taking advantage of the warm summer days that California provides in spades. She doesnโ€™t understand why I prefer to be stuck in my room, watching the world pass by.

But there is a reason to my melancholy that she will never know.
Iโ€™m in mourning. I morn a love I can never have. A love that if anyone were to learn about its existence, I would be judged and ridiculed. Branded with names too ugly to mention. Years ago, I had made the ultimate sacrifice so no one would discover my secret.

However, now my secret is being put to the test. I will need to overcome one last obstacle.

When fate brings me to live under the same roof temptation lies, I fear I might not be strong enough to hide my feelings. The moment I set foot inside it, my life takes an unexpected turn and the vision I once had of eternal solitude, seems out of reach. The chains I have weaved around me are no match for the allurement the house next door provides.

There is no running away from love, and I was a fool to think otherwise.

This love story involves five alpha knights that will do anything to get their princess back. If you believe that love conquers all, and adore all things Reverse Harem than this book is for you.

*Bad Influence is a Contemporary Reverse Harem Romance series. Each book is a standalone novel, with all new characters and brand new love stories.
*Recommended 18+ due to mature language and situations.

Thoughts from Paige

Some reviewers have commented on the level of Angst in this book being more teen than adult. This is book one in a series of standalone, meaning you can read this and have a HEA. ย However if you like it there are other books available in the series.
