Who else is fascinated by the reverse harem trend that has made its way into romance and new adult novels?
I'm totally amazed (in a good way) by the subgenre and the way the relationship is portrayed between the girl and guys. The traditional one guy with multiple girls harem is always heavily based on sexual needs, even when its in formats traditionally aimed at female audiences. The reverse harem is different. Sure there is a sexual component (its romance after-all) but each male serves or provides for a different need that the girl needs i.e. rules/boundaries, emotional comfort, strength, rule-breaker.

I love it!
