Interesting story

A little board room drama and some fixing up of the lake house with some investing thrown in on the side. It’s all in a couple weeks work

It's a decent listen!

This is the first book I've listened to by Colby Gray, and they did a decent job with the story. It's a nice, short harem slice-of-life tale, offering a refreshing change of pace from the more intense fantasy or sci-fi smut I usually listen to. My main gripe is with the virtual voice, which, while not the author's fault, was hard for me to get used to.

Had potential

If you like a story where the main character spends 80% of his time on house repair then this is the story for you.

The story had great potential as Eric is fired and tries to rebuild, finding something amazing in his inheritance. However, the author wastes that potential. In each book, Eric complains about his finances, but never does anything other than going to collect his severance package. He never even tries to look for a job, instead spending all his time on house repairs on his inheritance that he got a year ago. It's clear this was done so that Eric would be surrounded by the girls, spending time with them. But when they are doing the same things (going through seemingly endless boxes and repairs on a house that seemed in good condition at the start) it gets boring

On top of that, the villain of the series is an idiot. Jack was supposed to be a smug CEO but his actions left me wondering how he ever got that position. He fired Eric and then thought he would sell Jack the house? I get the idea, but that would assume so many things go correctly. That Eric was poor enough not to be able to afford it, couldn't find a job, and didn't care if he was selling to the person who put him in that position. Also, waiting a year to do all this? Wouldn't it have been better to butter Eric up, convince him to sell, and then fire him? Just saying. Also, after a year he suddenly thinks: Wait, my former partner might have left something there that I can use!

There's a happy ending, but after all this, it feels undeserved.
