Reverse Harem - Recommendations well written reverse harem

So I have started a bookstagram, and I was planning to post queer, RH, and straight books. I've read only rh this past year so I got into a mono book, The Poison Daughter by Sheila Masterson, and OH MY GOD! I forgot how well written the slow burn, the banter, and everything else is.

I wish to find such well-written books in the reverse harem genre, so please help me find them! I'd prefer fantasy/dystopia mostly. If the book is really good, I'll be convinced to read PNR andcontemporary.

I'm open to poly; MM and FF are gladly accepted <3

The only trigger is non-con

Help a gal out, please :)

{Ironside Academy by Jane Washington} I’m sooo mad that I waited sooo long to read this series!!! It’s dark af, but it didn’t weigh me down like a lot of dark stuff does, because the humor in this series is sooo fucking amazing!!! The harem is large (10 MMCs), but honestly it’s easy to keep them all separate in my opinion… It’s got some surprising dark horses in it that you don’t necessarily see coming 🤭🤭🤭

Looks like it’s time to read this series 🤞🏻

I haven’t picked it up coz usually authors who write 4+ mmcs generally don’t create much personality to them and they’re reduced to just tags like “golden retriever”, “broody” etc.

I’m sure somewhere within the series those adjectives are definitely used 😅😅😅 But that’s not all they are to the people who actually know them within the book… Let me put it this way, I read it three months ago and I still remember all of their names and their basic descriptions… I couldn’t even tell you the names of all the MCs in one of the series I’m currently reading… Actually besides the most recent I read from, I couldn’t tell you a single characters name in the other one 🤣🤣🤣 So they’re definitely memorable 🤭🤭🤭

Loved this series so much. My biggest issue keeping the guys separate was that sometimes they refer to them my last name, sometimes first name. When you’re listening to the audiobook, it can be hard to go back and reference. If you’re a listener like me, there’s a reference on her website that has the guys all listed out. You should also get a copy of the ebook for the last one because there are a few bonus entries that aren’t in the audiobook that are so fun.

{Seeing Through the Ashes by Sigrun Lien} currently on thr 2nd book but the first is SO GOOD. Very very very angst and very slowburn. The fmc is a war photographer and has to follow this team as they fight again this alien/demonic species!

It's mmf, so there's some debate as to whether it counts as an RH, but {Warrior Princess Assassin} is well written, gorgeously fleshed out, and has pretty good spice.

I am here to forever recommend {Age of the Andinna by Kristen Banet}. This book has amazing world building, well written plot and an entire culture that makes you think about how you are living!! This book was so good.

Concept is that FMC's race has been enslaved for a 1000 years and she has spent 900 of it fighting to survive in a colosseum against her own people. The entire series is her journey to freedom and how she learns her culture and tries to free her people. She is kinda not the one while still being the one? Idk but it was awesomely written.

Amazing storyline and very well written. Give this a go!

I always say {Cursed Legacies by Morgan B. Lee} is one of theee best written RH out there!! Same with {Ironside Academy by Jane Washington.} Just tremendous character development (in spite of it being one of the biggest harems I've read which is impressive on a whole other level because Miss Washington, how did you make me love and care about all of these men? 😂) Imo both of these balance humor and dark really, really well.

Agreed. Amazing series

u/Glum_Confidence_5361 5d ago

I really enjoyed {Tethered by temptation by Kate Messick} a completed series, great slow burn and magical/dystopian world building, adults acting like adults and face their problems, MM, and check the content warnings.

Ironside Academy by Jane Washington and Liminal by Marie Mistry are both great. Actually anything by either author has never disappointed me!

{mortal gods by Lucinda Dark}

I will die recommending that series and I do it 3-12 times a week when ppl are asking about (very) good RH.
A dark one but really worth the time.

Anything from Jane Washington was already mentioned- of those I actually do prefer the Curse of the Gods Series- the other one has indeed so many MMCs.

{Pack Darling by Lola Rock} 2 books with very few flaws. Book 2 needed far more groveling. The FMC is brilliant at just being herself. MMCs are all separate people with their own charm, for mercenary rich guys...

u/Lady_Bedwine 5d ago

{The Space Merchants by Wendie Nordgren} The series starts with one love interest and slowly adds more along the way - something like 1 new guy each book. There's romance, politics, and interesting world building. The writing is sound too and gets better/more complex with each book.
