Growing up in Emerald Lakes, population six hundred and eighty-two, had been safe and comfortable. Running my own magic shop and making a living off my green witchcraft, I have no complaints. Sure, there’s my ex, who never understood the word ‘no’, but there’s also the lovable and eccentric townspeople who feel more like one huge extended family, and let’s not forget my boy-crazed Gran who keeps us all on our toes.
...But something has apparently been missing, and the stars take it upon themselves to correct the problem, dropping four sexy men at my door. Well, not literally. They move into the apartment above my shop, so I’m their landlord. Drawn in by these mages who blew into town on a work assignment, a whole different kind of magic starts to grow between us, but my powers are doing things they shouldn’t, and there’s also a pesky prophecy to unravel.
Strange, unnatural things are brewing in Emerald Lakes, and I can’t ignore the sinking suspicion that something life-changing is headed my way.
Discovering a whole new world of magic, I can only hope I don’t lose myself in the madness.
This is a full-length romance novel. There is MM content. It ends on a cliffhanger and contains brief references to domestic violence and other themes that readers may find triggering.
Also in this series: The Magic of Betrayal, The Magic of Revenge
The Magic of Discovery is book one in the Emerald Lakes Series by Britt Andrews. This is an Erotic Reverse Harem.
I need some time to digest this first book. It had a few different things going on which took the story into multiple directions. We have a mystery, a prophecy, and lots of different sexual dynamics like MM, MFM, BDSM and more. I’m unsure on how I feel about the sexual dynamics in this story. I will say the scenes are Hot and get the blood pumping.
I was into the story at the beginning; especially with the mystery and then the prophecy, but when the sexual dynamics kicked in I was thrown. The first scene was with MM and I enjoy that from time to time, but it felt off and forced and didn’t feel like it had a purpose in the story. Then the other sexy scenes also felt off. I’m not sure what the author wanted, but it came off as the bratty chick who no longer wants to be the good girl and disregards personal boundaries along with dominant and submissive men.
Overall it felt juvenile and predictable. At the time of reading I was looking for a good reverse heroin, but this one started off ok and then got weird. I didn’t like how our lead heroine turned into a brat and that the story ends on a cliffhanger.
The Magic of Discovery was not the book for me. If the blurb intrigues you, I urge you to give it a shot. Just because it did not work for me does not mean it won’t for you.
Rated: 2 Stars

I know that bratty subs can be part of kink romance, but I get irritated by those characters, too. Hopefully you find a reverse harem that’s more enjoyable.
I haven’t found one yet, but I keep looking. Thanks for visiting!
Hmm, while I do like spicy books, not sure if this one is the one for me. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on it!
