This was one of the top results as a reverse harem romance, but I guess it's a slow, but sort of fast burn. It's almost instalove with Olivia and the rest of her shipmates before they get shipwrecked, but the erotic scenes were only with her with one man and only 2 of the characters. There was another scene with another character, but they don't actually have sex.
The book is almost too easy. There is very little drama aside from the ship wreck. They land on a paradise island with almost no threats and plenty of food and are shortly rescued and brought back home. The ending is almost wrapped up too quickly to make room for the sequel. The guys don't fight over her at all. These are total strangers that are thrown together on a ship and they all seem to come to this arrangement that everyone is free to have sex with Olivia and they just don't care about it.
I guess it might have created more tension and made the book a little more suspenseful if they were stranded on the island and didn't find things like water and food so easily. Or if the men actually fought over her. It's weird to have 5 men with one woman and no one of them gets jealous. I was also expecting a scene where they finally all get together at the end, but that never happened. They are rescued and I guess that's being saved for later books

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Wow. I loved this book. Even with the title and blurb presenting the 'castaways' scenario, it was still fresh and new when reading it. The level of detail in which each character differed from the others was really impressive, and made me go out and buy book two immediately after finishing this. I definitely want to read more of these characters!

Pretty good
This was a decent, unique, quick read. The guys were distinct, but it was way too insta-love for me. There also wasn't really any drama. Things were solved very easily.

RH is a newer genre that I have been getting into.. and there have only been a few that really catch my attention.. This one wasn't terrible but it also wasn't great.

Really enjoyed this start to the series and can't wait to see more of these characters!
The biggest thing this book has going for it is all the super sweet hot guys and I can't wait to see what will happen next with the obstacles they will have to face.
Great RH read.

I was so excited to read this book since I was dying to read a good lost on an island book with some hot men but this book didn’t 100% do it for me ... I liked the idea this girl who was all I am not here for the men and I’m independent and can do anything they can do really started to depend on them within what like 4 days .... I don’t know it felt rushed I liked the characters or I would of if I got to know them more not just her bing like I like them all I want them all hope there no jealousy .... wanted more substance... but maybe it would gotten better in the series but I just not 100% into reading anymore of them right now ....
