In the first 2 weeks of school starting I have begun to read a new book genre for my reading challenge of 2018. It's called reverse harem. For those manga fans out there you have an idea of what that is. It is usually when there is 1 female loved by and or surrounded by multiple men. Harem is when it's 1 man and multiple women.
While I have read about this in comics it's interesting to see how American authors take a spin on it. I was very worried it would not turn out good because I just thought it would come out messed up. My only with reading books like this is usually 2 men and 1 female, but after already reading 2 of one series and finishing the first of another I think they are really good. I have already recommended them to a friend and she loved them and wish that 6 dudes ask her to marry all at once too (spoiler)!
What's great about these books are that no one feels guilty about this. The men all agree that they love the woman and that her love is not enough for one but for all of them involved. In one book the explains that it is common for a woman to have more than one husband while men were not until recently, but it is still frowned upon. Even royalty can have more than one as well. What's great about this is makes women seem empowered and strong. It's different because when you hear about multiple spouse it men with more than one wife on TLC shows.
The series I recommend are called Saved by Pirates by G. Bailey and Rock-Hard Beautiful by C. M. Stunich. The story I explained about is called Spirit book 1 of the Academy of Spirits and Shadows also by C. M. Stunich. I think these books are a good start into a whole new world of reading and what love can be for some people in and maybe in real life.
