Find Me: WITSEC, Book 1

I loved this book. I needed something different to read and this book looked intriguing. It did not disappoint. It kept me interested throughout. I felt like the story flowed well and was filled with substance. The story telling was great. I loved the storyline and the characters. I wasn’t sure who all was going to be included in this reverse harem which I liked because it kept me wondering. Shiloh’s story was so heartbreaking. I can’t wait to find out what happens next. The spice level in this book was maybe 1 out of 5. Normally, that’d bother me but I was so intrigued with this story, I didn’t really care.

Pros: *** spoilers ahead***Nerdy Trauma Survivor Thanos-es her way to a Reverse Harem and its Good Actually.This book is miles better than a lot of the other reverse harem offerings. Shiloh is a girl learning to navagate the world alone. She was dealt a terrible hand and has been trying to survive and recover. Shes strong but she has a long road to recovery ahead of her. I like that the author allowed her to fail. To be vulnerable. Lots of nods to comic books and tv shows. Shes a distinctive quirky character who isnt a jerk but will tell you the truth( mostly because shes a bad liar). Her favorite food being popcorn is something i found really endearing for some reason. The boys each have their own distinctive quirks. Creed is my favorite out of all of them. I cant really explain why. Book boyfriend material.I hope to see more of Shiloh and Creed moments together. Hes grumpy but has a softer side and really cares a lot about how Shiloh views herself. Even if hes kind of a dick about it sometimes.Colt is adorable and also has hidden depths. Hes more social than Creed but when you make him mad its Hulk Smash. He and Shiloh are always holding hands or casually touching. Like magnets almost. Its very cute.Keelan is every hot gym/dojo instructor youve ever crushed on. With twinkling eyes and a little more mischievous than the rest of them. I picture him with dimples and perhaps a snap back. Hes definitely the right age to have worn them lol.Knox is....agravating and also Shiloh is drawn to him but also irratated by his existence. They are constantly verbally boxing. Its like the couple who loves to fight and argue. Not my cup of tea but I can see the appeal.There are many really good friendship building scenes in this book and im very fond of how protective and caring the guys are with her. They always give her a choice in sexual situations. They always ask for consent and it makes it even hotter(especially the scenes with Creed.) The part where he ate her out was beautifully done and the scene afterward had me giggling under my covers.Her love for her sister and her mindset of trying to be stronger and more outgoing like her is both sad and heartwarming. Shes doing her best to carry Shayla in her heart. I honestly think Shayla would be really proud of her sister for getting so far, going against her bullies and getting so many cute boyfriends.Cons: The pacing for Shiloh getting comfortable with the guys coming over was way too fast for me. Especially for someone who was in the kind of situation she was in. If i was her i would have never given those guys a key to my house. Id have to know them for years. She gives them her trust very quickly even for a non traumatized person. Shes also very comfortable being up close and being touched casually by men for someone who went through the kind of trauma that she did. Granted these are all certified Good Boys but she doesn't even vet them much before becoming part of their lives. Theres some slight Girl Hate going on in this book. Maybe a little slut shaming though self aware. Its indicative of the time period its placed in which is probably mid to late 2010 era. Im hoping its not a continuous theme but I wont hold my breath.The whole scene with the spider was Very Cringe. You are telling me this girl who spent so much time out in the wilderness still reacts to spiders so dramatically? Like getting help is one thing that was a little much. It was probably meant to be funny but it didnt hit for me personally.All in all I really liked this book. Its trashy harem romance but its good and I read it all in one night after a bad day at work. I couldn't put it down until I finished it. I kept trying to go to sleep but i couldn't wait to see more. Ive made a playlist for the guys and am considering posting it on spotify.

Other than the parts about WITSEC, this book was so good. The action really never stops, the pace is good, and the slow burn romance is fast enough to keep it interesting. Finally a strong h that isn't also either a "B" or a psycho. From experience, self medicating and unhealthy coping mechanisms are realistic and I appreciated how everyone's grief and trauma was dealt with. Her boys are 🔥 I loved them all even the guarded one.The only thing I didn't like was, funny enough, the parts that involved Logan's career as a US Marshal and WITSEC. That entire thing was so unrealistic, and had my eyes rolling. Everyone with even a base LE knowledge knows that it's a conflict of interest for Logan to investigate a crime against his own family and would never happen. No way Shilo would have spent a year in AK and then been let loose on her own with only self defense training and nothing else. Also, the era we are in it would be simple for anyone with a phone to do an internet search with only the info Shi was "allowed" to tell people aka her age and her sisters uncommon name and they find her true identity in moments. Even if Shilo had been erased from the record, her sister likely wasn't. If this part had been more realistic, I definitely would have given it 5 stars.As it was I couldn't put it down, and I'm about to start book 2.

Not as much spice as I’m used to but damn that sexual tension got me excited! The plot and storyline were great! There were enough events that it didn’t get boring. It also wasn’t very predictable. Her background/night of her family’s murder also gets explained throughout the book without it being too much at once. Well written! Excited for the next one…. Literally downloading it as soon as I finish this review.

I'm so in love with RH and this book is the perfect one. I've never seen anything like this. The way the author built the characters and evolved the plot WAS INCREDIBLE. I'm just in love.And I also would like to say to the author that if she ever wanted to publish it in Brazil I would buy it and recommend it to all my friends.

Ich hatte es ewig auf meiner "zu lesen" Liste und hab es lange vor mich hingeschoben was im Nachhinein dumm war, weil es ein sehr gutes Buch ist. Dafür dass es mir in einer Buchgruppe für Bücher mit spice empfohlen wurde hat das Buch überraschend wenig scharfe Noten, was aber bitte nicht falsch zu verstehen ist. Es hat eine ganz eigene Dynamik die aber hervorragend funktioniert und obwohl ich generell wusste dass es auch bei dem Buch im ein sogenanntes "why choose" format handelt ist man ständig damit beschäftigt sich zu wundern wer von den 4 Männern das jetzt in eine Beziehung geht. Die Zwillinge? Die beiden älteren? Einer der älteren und die Zwillinge? Es ist ein sehr gutes Buch, nur zu empfehlen, was einen sowohl von den Charakteren als auch der Story sehr mitreißt. Ich muss allerdings gestehen die Albträume übersprungen zu haben, weil das war mir dann doch etwas zu psycho und auch etwas zu viel....

Slow burn and a very unassuming book, great 1st book of a series and really begins character building. Must read

I read this book in 2 days and I have a three year old running around me the whole day, so that is saying something xD It was amazing. Every spare moment I had I took to read this book. It was so good! It's so easy to read and hours go by without me noticing. I've had some late night because of this book. Can't wait to start the next one!
