All or Nothing (The Chosen One, #1)

** Not an ARC review ** 3.5 stars rounded up. Apparently we have another new author that pulled it all together for their debut with more to come. I hope she can live up to this one and show even more growth and maturity as the series progresses. **Spoiler (view spoiler)
I'm impressed. The blurb makes it seem like it's going to be mostly a PWP/erotic paranormal/fantasy type book...and it is... but surprisingly it has a somewhat strong paranormal/fantasy plot premise that fits in nicely between all the pretty well written sex scenes and should be expanded in future books if the author is paying attention.
The plot is intriguing and as the adventure is beginning I am actually invested in how this is going to turn out for Sawyer and the gang. Bonus: the sex is extremely hot and kinky with dirty talk and inventive positions and I can't tell you how much I LOVED how Draco embraced his mates and cared for them. Probably one of the most romantic and loving personality traits I've seen written in a long time.
I want to tackle this reverse or gay harem label thing though. Where did this come from? This is a polyamorous (m/m/m/m/m) book. All the guys get it on with each other. Nobody is really more focused on then anyone else to a large extent. Yeah, Sawyer and Draco are probably the mainest characters but there are no set couples; this is not even monogamish. All 5 of these guys pair up and triple up and swap around without any jealousy or issues. Their bed fits all of them at once (and their bathtub too) no problem. They are mates. No one is being serviced by 4 guys exclusively. And there are still 4 more guardians on their way to join them.
I hope Macy Blake is not a slow writer and that the next part of this series comes around sooner rather than later.
Note on the cover, I don't picture any of these guys as young as this cover except maybe Sawyer and Henry. I think it's a bit misleading and seems a little bit more YA then intended. This is not a YA book
