Four guys. 

Constant moaning. 

And a revolving door across the college suite I somehow ended up in because my first name is Shawn. 

They don't discriminate. Girls. Guys. Grandmas. Plants (okay maybe not plants) all walks of life stroll in stressed to the brim, and leave so satisfied I'm wondering what sort of talents lie behind that door. 

My roommate calls them the pleasure ponies. 

But the rest of the college campus? 

They just call them the new face of Wingmen Inc. A paid for relationship service that makes big promises. 

Breakup? They'll glue you back together again. 

Depressed? They have the magic pill. 

Lonely? Just spend a few minutes while they rub you down and you'll forget all about it. 

And broken hearts? Well, that's their specialty. They'll fix you.

For a price…

I swore I wouldn't get involved. 

But apparently they like a challenge, and a girl who doesn't put up with their BS is basically like waving a red flag in front of a bull. 

They. All. Charged. 

But one holds my attention above the rest. 

Knox Turner looks like a Viking — and getting pillaged is starting to look more appealing by the day. Though he's hiding something — all of them are. And the closer I get. The more I realize that some things are left better in the past.

You've read reverse harem books before — but you've never read one like this. It's not what you think, or is it? Dive in and find out…

Knox, Leo, Finn, and Slater are waiting, and they aren't patient men. 

Welcome to the new face of Wingmen Inc — You're welcome.

One girl. Four guys. But it's not what you think. 

Shawn ends up assigned to a suite with one male roommate and three other suite mates that all happen to be male thanks to an error. But she had no idea how her life was about to change. She is ready to focus on her school work and softball. She never planned on gaining the attention of the most elite group of men (the interns for Wingmen, Inc.) at her college. Not the aggravation, flirtation, attention, and protection they throw her way. Not the jealousy and judgment from others. Not the friendship and the fascination she has for the most unreachable of all of them. But she seems powerless to resist and keep them out of her life.

Leo: the sensitive and friendly one.

Finn: the sexy and brilliant one. 

Knox: the hot, broody, and unattainable one. 

Slater: the safe and protective one. Her roommate who obviously has issues and anger towards the others. He refers to them as the "pleasure ponies" and warns her away from them.

Well, in their own way they are all protective of her, but some even want to protect them from themselves. From avoidance to enemies to friends to a possible connection with one of them is scary. Shawn finds herself in a position she could never have imagined. It brings out her insecurities and fears, but also puts her more in the public eye and a target for judgment. And she might be the one girl who can not only heal his broken heart, but help heal them all from the past.

There is an underlying mystery and past mistakes that haunt them and caused damage to their friendships and outlooks on life. And everyone seems to know about it except Shawn.

 Shawn ended up in the guys’ dorm on accident, a hazard of a girl having a guy’s name. She just wants to focus on school and softball, and there isn’t time for much else in her life. But when the moans from the suite across the common living room keep waking her up and interfere with her energy levels for softball, she takes matters into her own hands to confront her suitemates and the most influential men on campus.

Knox, Leo, and Finn are the next generation Wingmen, relationship experts for hire. They have a reputation on campus as untouchable, but so good at providing satisfaction to clients. Shawn only knows what her roommate, Slater, says about them.

Shawn and Knox have instant chemistry. Shawn doesn’t have time to date but is intrigued by Knox and his friends. Even though she is curious about all three and acknowledges they are all good looking, it is Knox that catches her attention early on. Despite warnings from her roommate (who clearly has some kind of history with the other three men), Shawn begins getting to know her other three suitemates, building strong relationships with each man along the way.

This was a little bit different in that it is billed as a take on reverse harem. When I first read that I was hesitant, as harem or reverse harem aren’t tropes I particularly enjoy. But I’m glad I gave it a chance because it isn’t necessarily a sexual harem. There is nothing physical between Shawn and most of the men. Their relationships build more like siblings or very close friends than as a romantic relationship. The main romance is definitely between Shawn and Knox, though it was slow to build.

I enjoyed the story and the new characters. The story itself turned into more than I expected as the history between the men comes out and Shawn learns of their past. Each of the men in Shawn’s life bring their own energy and I loved the way they play off each other. Whether or not the other men get their own books, I liked the way this group came together.
