Ok, I think the fmc is called Winifred. When I initially read the description, I thought I was about to read a TV reality show of how 10 hunks managed to woo one lucky girl... well that was a bit misleading and this isn't exactly that...
Infact, by the time the book started the show was over and we were only told about it on 2 pages which is a pity because that would have been a more exciting main/center plot
With that being said, I couldn't keep track of any of the mmcs or their individuality or personalities and our fmc was also very immature which didn't help make the story better. There were a few good dates and the smut was good but I wasn't feeling the chemistry between her and any of these guys.
I get it, it's impractical and the connections weren't fully formed, I mean it would literally be impossible since little Winnie like us only has 24 hours in a day and while having a foursome with the triplets would completely forget that one of the other "Hammers" was jealous about not being the one to take her v-card and never bring it up again. She is a "lucky" girl not a superhero therapist for 10 grown men ...more

this was s3.5⭐️ yes, I stayed up all night reading this after I finished the prince and apocalypse because you know I love Theo and Wren's love story
this was still action packed but made even less sense, if any. way more realistic because the crown prince, sorry, heir to the throne of England would be more protected and harder to get to than this. it's fiction so I'll let this flaw go.
then the story after the plane crush and their challenges felt oddly similar even in terms of sequence to the tv series named "the wilds". at the point, i'm so confused because that was a psychological thriller of a sort and I'm wondering, where is the romantic comedy we were promised??
in the end, I was just tired of their back and forth like "let's give up on each other but we love each other" bs though understandably, they are only just teenagers....more

Eighteen years old, control freak Wren is on a3.75⭐️ I loved the read, the plot was exciting though it was really struggling not to veer off course!!
Eighteen years old, control freak Wren is on a very detailed itinerary holiday with her bestfriend in England when their friendship becomes sour due to Wren obsessive need to follow the list. Wren takes a walk and runs into the prince of England who needs Wren's help to hide from the paparazzi which causes Wren to miss her flight back to America.
Wren is stranded at the airport and strangling to find another flight because news of an apocalypse has been announced all over the world. The world is ending in about a week. Wren is reasonably scared and thinks now is a good time to call the prince and cash in on a favor in return of her help earlier.
Prince Theo has a plan to get Wren on a plane back home to her family but first Wren must help him escape from his family because he doesn't want to be with them when the world ends and they have to make a new list with a plan on how to travel through half of Europe unnoticed with a search out for the prince and everyone in the world on edge about the comet hitting the earth.
I blame it on it being YA because it wasn’t quite a romcom or dystopian but it still felt like there was not part that left me feeling bored. I didn't see that ending coming!!! I can't wait to get to the second book ...more

for m3.5⭐️ it's always hard for authors to sell me the fake dating trope, throw in marriage/proposal of convenience as well and it make it even harder
for me it takes a lot away from the natural build up of chemistry and sexual tension and it limits the how fun the romance can be. then most authors struggle with trying not to make the planning around dates and romantic settings seemed very forced.
take out the mmc's pov then the romance is somehow even less believable. did he plan that special date because he was just keeping up appearances and putting on a show to go with the scenarios created? did he just carry her when she hurt herself on a hiking trip with his family because he was a gentleman and a former search and rescue person?
also for most part, there was definitely a good story and solid characters with fine dialogues. I don't know if there was enough of that to be gripping because I was kind of bored for the most part.
