An Introduction

What is reverse harem? Reverse harem is when a lady has 3 or more partners. Sometimes they all do stuff together, sometimes they don't. The books cover all genres, contemporary, fantasy, sci fi, you name it, there will be one. And that is part of what makes it such a rich genre, in my opinion.

My first reverse harem book was in a series called the Lick of Fire collection which a bunch of authors wrote. I found that because I loved paranormal fantasy romance books and several of my favorite authors were part of it. Hell is a Harem by Mila Young. I had my mind blown away by this book. For starters I totally loved it, the characters, the world, all of it. But then, the main character Lorn was kind of getting it on with more than one guy. At first, I thought what the hell? But then I realized two things, one; books for me are about escapism, I want to immerse my imagination in a place and situation so far removed from my own that I can totally escape my life for a bit (I love my life) and two; ever since I read Flowers in the Attic, books are totally porn for me. Escapism porn? Yes please! I would like to point out here that there are reverse harem books that are technically YA or NA which means that you don't read about any of the physical encounters. Some of these books are so amazing and well written but to be honest, I like all the details because I'm never going to experience more than one man at a time personally.

Another wonderful thing about the reverse harem reader community, is how inclusive it is. I belong to lots of readers groups on Facebook and they are full of people from all over the world, all stages of life and situations. It's amazing to have something to bond over with strangers. It feels like a lot of writers are self publishing and this can only benefit us, as readers. I have never run out of books to read yet and have a huge to be read pile.

So what is the point of this blog? I'd like to share reviews of books I would recommend and I'd love to help introduce new readers to the genre. I'm lucky enough to be on quite a few writers ARC teams and it's great reviewing on Amazon and Goodreads, but I'd also like to share them here in perhaps a more in-depth fashion. I'd also like to share my many questions and thoughts with hopefully, like minded people!

If you (and I hope that there is someone out there reading this!) have any questions or suggestions, then please let me know! I'm planning on making a mega list of all my favourite books and whether they are stand alone or part of a series.
