Shared

by Krista Wolf

"You want to share me... as a girlfriend?" My stomach did a sexy backflip. "All three of you?"

Broke and lonely, adjunct professor Claudia takes an on-campus renovation job to make ends meet. So when three gorgeous hunks show up, mistakenly assigned to the unfinished frat-house? Letting them live in the old Victorian in exchange for free labor seems like a no-brainer.

But having three beautiful college athletes as roommates might be more than she bargained for. Especially when sensual tensions reach a fever pitch, and one of them breaks their only rule: no one goes after her... unless they all do.

As the house devolves into a powder keg of jealousy and restraint, the guys come up with an interesting idea: sharing her as a girlfriend. No secrets, no limitations, just three powerful ex-fraternity brothers acting as Claudia's three beautiful boyfriends... one by one, two on one... and more.

Together they fix the house as they fix each other; Brandon, the sexy football star about to lose his scholarship. Colin, the lithe swimmer struggling to get past a dark betrayal. And Hunter, the charming, sometimes brooding loner who harbors his own personal secret.

Can Claudia satisfy the needs of three strapping college athletes who worship her as a goddess, mind, body, and soul? Or will the awakening of her own seemingly insatiable appetite ultimately be their downfall?

SHARED is a sizzling, stand-alone reverse harem romance filled with fun, humor, and tremendous amounts of love. It also contains blistering hot scenarios so molten they're bound to melt your kindle! HEA guaranteed.

I personally have only recently gotten into reverse harems (both as a reader and an author), but this book was great! Each of the male characters has a unique and intriguing past, a unique personality and they all mesh together very well. I didn't put this down until I finished it (luckily I wasn't on the subway - totally would've missed my stop😂). The writing was great although the ending did leave me wanting a little bit more.

5 Stars!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,I soo wish I hadn’t started to read the “Bonus” book....

Ok,ok ok, ok,.......
Wow.....
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa,really wish I’d skipped the lil “bonus” book,coz I soo didn’t expect “Honeymoon for three” to be an f/f/m...
Wow,f/f is soooo NOT my thing... I’m strictly dickly,and my own breast’s and vagina are enough for me.....
Thank you...
Please bear with me,seeing the “bride” in her “wedding” dress and veil wanting to give it to her childhood bestie one more time before she walks down the aisle threw me just a bit.... all the while trying to convince her to come on her “honeymoon” with her and her new husband.... WTH ?!?!?!?
Hey, if that’s you flavor ,fine but it’s not mine and sooo wasn’t what I was expecting after a big “menage “ ( sorry I know menage isn’t the right term here but personally for me an RH needs at least four men or more) ( three just doesn’t feel like a harem) ....

Any way, I liked this main story quite a bit and I think with a lot more depth and detail it would have definitely been a 4 star 🌟 book..... but this story played around between having some sweet depth at times like the moments shared between Colin and Claudia where he tells her about his past w/his ex and how he’s still a virgin and it was really sweet then when they started to get together physically that age was with Colin first...
Or when Hunter finally shares his talent with her... don’t want to give it away since the writer made it a secret but its artistic ...
Anyway there were some sweet and beautiful moments and I loved all, the guys and Claudia too for the most part but it was too surface and too shallow most of the time ...
Like I know Brandon was tall and had blonde hair and I think maybe blue eyes? Or did Colin have the blue eyes ? Hunter had dark hair and dark eyes and maybe a goatee ? It I’m not sure .. all I know is for some reason Hunter kept making me think of /imagine Matt Bomer,not quite the right desc. I think but he’s what kept popping my head for Hunter for some reason... it all I knew for certain is the guys had beautiful bodies which is fine at first ...at first being alone with three sexy gorgeous guys would of course be over whelming and would feel like some sorta sexual lottery win soo of course it would be mentioned and mentioned often by the h.. Hell, I know I would ..... but to still hear her go on and on and on after getting to know them and falling for them and being with them for months ? It starts to sound really shallow after a while...
But that’s not all we don’t know ,what does Claudia even teach ? Does she have family ? Other than school and sports and each other and their life in the house we don’t learn much of anything about the four... their females ,what their studying ? Hopes and plans for the future ? Where Hunter disappears two days a month? Heck he never even told Claudia he did that, she finds out after their first date out where they had sex the first time and spend the whole night having sex and she woke to him gone..... finding from the other two... huh ? That was kinda tacky... I like Hunter though and I liked how all the guys had their own sexual “first “ w/Claudia and Hunter’s was exactly what I thought it would be being the alpha kinda guy he was...
Not bad,but could have been soo much better with a lot more depth .. and if f/f isn’t your thing skip the “bonus” story...

DNF I didn't like the back story or the characters.

[Whitley Cox · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've only recently started reading RH novels and this one took me by surprise. To nitpick, it does need proofreading. There are some punctuation errors (he winked is not a dialogue tag and should not be preceded by a comma) and some missing words, but if you look past that there is a fun, sexy, dirty story at the heart of it all. I connected with Claudia, although we really didn't learn much about her, let alone what she was a professor of, I was able to feel all her feels, from her heartache to her orgasms (and there were a lot of them). The evolution of Hunter, Colin and Brandon was en pointe and what you would expect from three college co-eds. I wasn't expecting a metamorphosis from any of them and I'm happy that the author kept the men true to form. They evolved, but not unbelievably, if that makes sense. I think Colin was my favorite, but I have a soft spot for nerds. Hunter was just sexy as hell ... I would have loved to read about Claudia tracing all his ink with her tongue, and Brandon was your quintessential underestimated jock with a heart of gold and a temper to match. I'm just entering the realm of RH, and so far, this is the best one I've read. That hot tub scene ... WOW!

I mean it wasn’t terrible, but it was also a long way from great

It was a short read, but honestly, a little more length would have fixed some of the problems. We actually learnt very little about the main characters, the main confrontation scene was poorly executed (what was on the damn computer?!?) and I might be reading too much into things but it felt a little like the author wanted to add a few plot points but ultimately didn’t but forgot to remove the lead ins to said plot points (for example, it’s pointed out multiple times that Colin barely eats. But Dude is a competitive swimmer. The 2 facts don’t seem to go well together in the story as it stands). There was also entirely too much story devoted to some plot points (a 21 year old virgin is not that shocking. We don’t need pages of the h going on about it).

Then we have the narrator’s…. Here’s a tip. When you narrate a character, perhaps you should remember their name, and say it the same way every time. Brandon is not Brendan.

Overall, the story kept me entertained enough on my 7 hour drive, but I won’t rush out to read others.

It was okay. I kind of expected a little bit more drama especially with some of the boys is backstories.

We only had one OW and she wasn’t really drama filling.

The ex-husband brung some but it wasn’t really satisfying. Like what was on his computer, ‘the other stuff’.

The steam was good and I did like their banter and their flirting together.

[Sara Reads Romance · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not my favorite one, but also not terrible. Just with there was a little bit more to the story with this one.

[Melanie Parker · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a bad story. Quick little read (listen… audiobook). Decent spice and likable main characters, but something was missing.

A simple, lighthearted, well-paced reverse harem with a complete storyline. It's nice to see an author construct a RH without rushing everyone into bed. Wolf took time to develop the plot and the characters, making this a great afternoon read. I would definitely read other books, RH or not, by this writer.

[Bluebelle-the-Inquisitive (Catherine) · Rating 4 out of 5]

“Share me…” ... “You mean like polyamory?”
“Polyandry actually,”... “A closed relationship, rather than open. Which is—”
“Look, I don’t know exactly what to call it,” ... “I hate labels. But yeah, whatever the term is. You’d be with all of us, and we’d be with you.” - Claudia, Colin & Hunter

I quite enjoyed Shared. There is a decent mix of physical and emotional intimacy. Though possibly not enough with more than one of the men in her bed at once. There is a reasonable plot it's not brilliant and it very cut and dry.

The men are fantastic, and different enough to be engaging. Brandon is ballsy and charming. Colin is sweet and endearing. Hunter is all kinds of hot (yes bad boys do it for me and have become the sort of character I adore reading). Hunter is a protector, an Alpha. He is key to the whole thing. Claudia is an okay protagonist. She frustrated me at times, her open lying was an issue. Her insecurities were accurate though. And Garrett, well Garrett needs a good kicking. Balls, stomach, head. I'm not picky. Honestly I kind of felt for him at the end then I remember his behaviour and had to slap myself.

My issues are ethical. Claudia is a professor (not theirs) close to their age and it is a consenting relationship. So I have no issues there, but there might be an issue there anyway, the story certainly establishes that. There is an incident towards the end which was just not right (given the sort of story we are looking at here I am overthinking I am aware). Also really needed better editing, missing letter and wrong names.

There is a fantastic discussion in Shared that is great when talking about Reverse Haram/ Polyandry about pleasure and sharing and the perception that the centre person is only giving pleasure, not receiving it. My rating is 3.5/4 stars losing rating for the previously stated issues. Shared is great if you just want a story to escape with and a nice quick read. (or a follow up to Quadruple Duty)

My Rating: 4.5 Stars
I have to admit that Krista Wolf is a One-Click author for me since the first book I've read from her. The woman is that good in my opinion with her stories and characters that make you fall in love and have an incredible time with them. This was not an exception.

Claudia and her boys are an amazing set of characters, each one with a unique past that makes them even more interesting to read about. What I truly think helped a lot with my star rating this time was that I realized how well the time flew in this book. It's not perfect but it felt relatable and with a touch of realism that I haven't felt in many books lately.

The writing was on point. I did not find any editing mistakes, at least to my eyes. The story was very candidly written and with some pretty steamy awesome scenes in between. The focus was not the sexy times but the relationship development between characters.

I was a little disappointed when I saw the ending of the book. I wanted more to happen with Claudia's ex-husband... well, actually I wanted more drama before the end of the story but it was well done for how things happened during the book.

Taboo Ménage

I always liked the idea of the taboo romance. The professor and naughty student. But this one I liked because one, Claudia was the older one, which I love seeing. And Two, she was the professor. Girl power. WOOT WOOT!!! 🎉 But still Hunter, Colin, and Brandon wanted to provide for her and give the everything. It’s like they found each other just when their lives were at their lowest points. And they formed a bond and friendship and then love. I also liked that Colin was a Virgin instead of it being the heroine. I always get mad when the heroine is portrayed as this innocent Virgin in sorry after after story. So again GO GIRL!!!

Now Garret. He had to have been crazy. Or like an idiot. He literally kicked Claudia out of her house and then got mad when she moved on with not just one but three guys and tried to make her feel bad about. Like bish, you got the wrong one. She definitely handled it better than I would have because for real I would have been like you have pictures and? Send them to my family. Don’t matter to me.

But she did the right thing by thinking about her boys instead of just herself. Go Claudia. GIRL POWER 🎊🎉

[Jenny Hockings · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW, this sexy reverse harem story but Krista Wolf really grabbed me from the start.
Claudia is broke, lonely and an associate professor who takes on the renovation of an old Victorian house on campus. She lets three gorgeous hunky guys live in: in exchange for free labour to get the renovation completed. But of course having 3 hunks around as room mates is sure to cause trouble especially when they have one rule - NO ONE GOES AFTER HER UNLESS THEY ALL DO - What will happen when one of the breaks the rule?
There will be no secrets and no limits between Claudia, Brandon, Colin and Hunter!
But can she satisfy these guys who worship her mind, body and soul? and what happens when Claudia's own seemingly insatiable sexual hungers are awakened can they satisfy her or will this be their downfall??
Read this Hot book for the answers as I am not telling! I am going back to read it again it is that good for me!

D NF 50%
I tried finishing it. I mean it’s a fairly short audio book but once all the sex started I couldn’t take it. The narrator did a great job up until that point. Her sighs and orgasm sounds were a little ummmm 🤨. But my biggest problem is with the main character. I don’t get it. I don’t understand her complete 180 in confidence. At the beginning of the book she is a complete freaking pushover. I mean she just walks away from her house bc her ex husband tells her to. It was never decided in the divorce who got the house???? Cause she talks like it’s still hers too but bitterly flees when he tells her to FINALLY (after a year of being divorced and living together) to get out. I get the author was trying to make it plausible for her to live with these guys. But come on it just made the FMC come off as week and pathetic. Then all of a sudden she has all this courage and goes after 3 guys, at once. Add in the sex scenes where she talks about her “loins” and “unmentionables” and I felt like this grown ass adult was a teenager who had read to many historical romance books.

this is 100% my fault for learning how to read and using my talent on this book. This book almost killed with his cringeworthy words. I will write you the two things that made me stop on my tracks and rethink all my life choices that let me to reading this book and learning how to read 1-up... the ecstasy of being surrounded by her tender flesh as I pumped jet after jet inside her. (The fuck? Jet after jet? And those words where used again and again and it made me want to die) 2- It was crazy, being taken from both ends. Being shared by two men... men so close to each other they were almost like brothers, now connected - physically and emotionally — by my warm little body. (Excused me? I truly had to stop when those words came out of her mouth because it truly made me contemplate all my like choices. Ella enserio tenía que decir eso? And those are not ever all the cringe stuff that was in this book! It was filled with even more cringeness! I’m a fighter, and I need a medal for finishing this book. Also why did I find some of the sex scenes good? I’m not well in the head bye)

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Claudia, Colin, Hunter,and Brandon. Claudia is trying to make some extra money doing extra work in one of the old frat houses. Little did she know the dean was going to give her 3 roommates as well. When an incident occurs at their frat house it is closed down. So they either all live together or the guys could be homeless. Claudia's tender heart can't seem to do that to them so she agrees they can stay plus free labor is a bonus as well. However the guys start to want more than just to help her with the house. Can they all find that HEA or will outside forces make sure that never happens?

This is a hot book. It has it's ups and downs that I really want to tell you about. However I don't want to ruin the story for any other readers. I will say this book will have you hooked from the first word to the very end. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

[Toni · Rating 5 out of 5]

Claudia is a sort of college professor and she has started to take on extra tasks for the extra income. While trying to paint a room in an old house that used to be a fraternity, one young man, Brandon, walks in and behind come two more, Colin and Hunter. They wheedle their way into staying at the place by promising to help her fix it up. Now Claudia has three helpers and that helps the money situation a little bit. After she leaves for the day, the three guys discuss how hot she is and how they need to keep their hands off her to make sure they get to keep staying there. Claudia may be a bit older than them but she isn;t dead and loves the scenery---the guys and their chiseled bodies. A lot of teasing goes on and one night leads to the biggest change in all of their lives.
Fantastic story and the characters are fantastic!

[Alison Arnott · Rating 3 out of 5]

Started good, fell flat. The premise and characters started out OK, and the first few sx scenes sounded spicy... then, the progress stopped and changed to broad strokes of recollection to rush the ending. There were sx scenes with each MMC, then 1 pair, but no culmination of the first group scene. The first group scene is typically a critical event in RH to demonstrate the group dynamic, and IF they will actually work as a poly quaduple(?).
The FMC frequently called the MMC's her "beautiful boys" and "Honey"... this felt infantile and icky.
The rushed ending included 2 MMC's making separate HUGE decisions that the author used to make the HAE... But these were out of the blue, no discussion with the group, and both were future-changing. These were both MEGA red flags and unacceptable in healthy relationships.
Overall, the ending left a bad taste in my mouth. This quaduple isn't gonna last the year. 🫡😵‍💫

I wasn’t sure whether I would like this book as it isn’t my usual genre that I like to read but seeing as it is Jamie Hunter under another pen name I had to give it a read. I was not disappointed. This was a fantastic read from the very beginning. Claudia & the boys (Hunter, Brandon & Colin) had me wanting to read more and more and before I knew it I had completed the book in two sittings. Loved the story-line and you couldn’t do anything else but fall in love with the boys. Brandon would be my favourite from the three of them.

Garret is Claudia’s ex-husband and I would have loved to punch him in the mouth for the way he treated Claudia.

It was nice to read a full length novel by this author instead of her short stories (which are all fantastic reads). I look forward to reading more.

LOVED IT!!!!
This was a really good standalone reverse harem. I absolutely LOVED the guys, and man oh man was it hot and sexy.
This book had doing everything from laughing, getting hot and bothered, to wanting to yell at stupid men, and yeah it even made me a little teary too!
Claudia was sweet, smart, funny, and really just an all around good girl the got screwed over by her dick of an ex-husband. When the guys enter her life she is pretty much at her lowest and they give her everything she needs to get back on her feet and become totally awesome. The three of them together are so sweet and hot all rolled together.
Overall it was a really good read and yeah now I'm gonna go stalk the author and see what else she has out there!!

Flippin’ good!

Shared is a contemporary standalone RH with loads of MMFM scenes to entice. Set in a College/University scene Hunter, Colon and Brandon help Claudia renovate an old frat house while attending to their academic responsibilities. The last thing Claudia expected after being run out of her home by her ex-husband was to find love with these extraordinary men. The concept of being shared far from her mind even though feelings developed for each of them but they make it work. I personally enjoyed reading this book the characters are good, Claudia is particularly sassy once she can relax and be herself. The men are caring and protective not just for Claudia but for each other as well. The book is fast paced and not extremely long so I didn’t feel like my mind had the time to wonder off 😊

I love Reverse Harem books and this one is up there with the good ones. Claudia is a sweet woman who was used by her horrible ex husband, she moves into an old frat house to fix it up, she lets 3 frat brothers move into the place Hunter, Collin and Brandon. They all start out as friends but things eventually heat up, all 3 men have different personalities and that’s what Claudia loves about all of her men. There is more drama with her ex husband but I will leave that up to you to find out when you get this book. There are some pretty hot sex scenes but they don’t take anything away from the story which in itself is fantastic. A 5 plus ⭐️ read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

[Michelle Fritz PA · Rating 4 out of 5]

So while the story was engaging and I enjoyed it, I couldn't help but notice that this needed another round of edits. I really dislike being pulled out of a scene because I have to re-read a sentence or try to figure out what it should say. I liked the characters and was thrilled that the ex husband wasn't physically abusive! I also liked that while the guys were years younger than the main character that they were mature. They each had their own life and happenings in it, but they made time to be with each other. The ending was perfect as they had a common goal. Nothing was left unfinished and for that I applaud the author 💗

[Shantel · Rating 2 out of 5]

So this was very beginner level spice. If you are dabbling in RH or why choose romances this would be a good place to start.
For me I was disappointed that most of the more 'exciting' scenes were glossed over.
I did this one on audio and although there was duel narration, it was done by chapter. So on the Claudia chapters the female narrarator read the male parts and on the boys chapters the male read her parts- and it was terrible lol.
I did not enjoy the male narrarator at all and he was even worse trying to do a female voice. Especially during spicy scenes.
Also I never want to hear the word "sexily" again.

[Monica · Rating 4 out of 5]

Start off this book is HOT, HOT, HOT!! I have to agree with some other reviews that it starts off with a story then half way through the sex is introduced and pretty much that is the rest of the book. The story part kind of falls off. I still am wondering how she had that much sex and was still standing. Overall I did like this book and would read more by Krista Wolf. If you like really steam books with a reverse harem pick up this book.
