Pay-per-Heart

By: Grace McGinty

Narrated by: Brooke Daniels, Grayson Owens

I moved out to LA to participate in a Graphic Design scholarship that turned out to be fake. That was just my luck. But there was no way I could return home. Not to the already disappointed faces of my parents, who have never believed that ‘fiddling around on your computer’ was an actual career.

Not back to my friends who thought I was insane for breaking up with my long-term boyfriend to move out here in the first place.

Not back to Georgia, full stop.

So when I saw an advert in the creative pages for a graphic design and video editing job with three social media influencers–room and board included–it seemed too good to be true. It had to be a skeezy porn director trawling for new 'models', right? But I was desperate and I was willing to try anything.

Turns out, I was half right.

They were social media influencers alright, but for ClickHeart, a subscription service where… well… they got naked. A lot. Sure, sometimes Everett cooked (naked) and Harrison did pottery (naked) but Darwin literally just stroked his ginormous–Well, you get the point. After their previous video editor uploaded their stuff to The Hub without their permission, the guys had decided it was necessary to have their own live-in designer. But they wanted a guy. Not a girl who was deceptively named Blake.

It might have been an accident that they invited me to their place for an interview, but they were the stepping stone I needed to stay in LA and finally achieve my dreams. I just had to get real cool with a lot of things real fast. Should be fine, right?

Happily ever after without choosing

Sex positive. Curvy fmc. Sweet mmcs. Crossing swords. What’s not to like. The performance was great as well.

Good but..

Cute book and great plot BUT focus waaaaay too much on this girls weight. Eye roll. I’m all about body inclusivity but why must the book focus so heavily on it?

Light and Fluffy Reverse Harem

I read this in ebook version and raced over to pick up the audiobook as well so I could listen to it again at work. It's such a lighthearted and fun read. The FMC takes a chance to better her life and moves to a new city, only for everything to go in a completely unexpected direction. The romantic tension that builds between the fmc and the guys is fun and the spicy scenes are hot and well-timed - there's plot alongside the spice and mild drama with the FMC's ex boyfriend, but nothing too serious.

My only downside with the audio version is I feel like the male narrator didn't distinguish between the 4 love interests' voices enough. He did a great job overall, and I get that it's probably difficult to do four main characters, but at least one of the MCs should have been very distinct and he just blended in with the other voices. I had a hard time keeping track of who was speaking in some of the scenes since they all sounded very similar. The female narrator was amazing.

Overall, I'm glad I also got the audio version, it will probably be a repeat listen for me.

Best Reverse Harem Book!

If you are looking for a reverse harem book that has love, laugh out loud humor, and an excellent storyline, this is the book you want to read!
I’ve read a lot of reverse harem books, but I have to say this is by far my favorite!

Sweet but also so dumb HOT!

This book will give you have all the feels! The way you can see the characters evolve is written so perfectly. I would have loved to hear more about all of them together, but it keeps your mind going long after the book is over.

All the feels

I read this story when it first came to KU. Loved it then so I HAD to get the audible version! I was not disappointed. Both the narrators were great & gave more depth to a fun, funny, heart warming & hot story. As I said… all the feels!

Wowwwwww

Boy oh boy this was a wild and funny ride! Freakin loved all of this and literally laughed out loud at the most inopportune times!! 😜🤣

Just ok

Not really my favorite as far as RH. The first half is really all over the place. You’re not really sure what direction the book is taking. Once the plot is clear right in the middle, it’s a decent enough story, but the RH steamy bits aren’t the best I’ve heard. They’re just ok. I can’t put my finger on why though. The 4th guy, Henny, really is kind of the odd man out for a long part of the story, a piece that doesn’t for quite a while. Of course we know it’s got an HEA, so that’s not really a spoiler, but it is a iooooong book IMO. So, all that said, just not my fave. Just ok.

Grayson Owens and Why Choose ? Yes Please!

his is crazy."
"Yeah. But not one ever achieved something great by doing what's normal."

Our FMC takes a job as a graphic artist with three 'Click Heart " page personalities. Someone to promote their social media and as an assistant to anything else they needed.
Grayson Owens did a great job doing different accents and personalities for all the men, I immediately buy anything he is in, but it would have been better as it was duet narration with four male characters to have a different man play each. It just adds to the listener experience. Plus Grayson is better with the darker characters His growly velvet voice is just perfection. Brooke Daniels was new to me as a narrator and I hope I come across another book these two team up on! They made scenes funny, and animated and enhanced the characters.

For why choose this book would be a great first experience in this genre. The spice scenes gradually builds, there is one on one experiences with each character, but there isn't anything beyond a 4-chili pepper scene.

I also would have liked this story fleshed out more. I think if the author added another 100 pages or so we could have more chemistry that built between the characters.
I became invested and suddenly it was almost over.
It was a little too long to be a novella, but I just wanted more.

4 Stars for Narration performance.
3.5 overall stars.

Cute rom/com

Like some other reviews I read expressed, it stopped right when it was getting good. 8hrs of angst with comedy mixed in, and that's being generous. It was like the last 30min was ALMOST what I was looking for the entire book. It was really disappointing that we didn't get to actually spend any time with them being an established poly relationship. This just seemed like part one. I looked around a bit online before writing this review, but I didn't find anything alluding to more. If another book comes, I'll gladly buy it and edit my review. I was just left wanting more and not in a good way. However, the male narrator..amazing 🔥🔥🔥!
