39 all time favourite reverse harem romance books

Written by Silke, updated 19 Jan 2023

Reverse harem romance books have become insanely popular in the last few years. Why? Probably because reading about a lady living the polyamorous dream with not only 2 men but rather f+mmmmmm seems way less exhausting than actually living it. But maybe we are just thinking about it the wrong way...

Anyways, reverse harem novels are, as the name implies, all about one lady presiding graciously over a gaggle of men who are crazy about their lady but not crazily jealous about each other. Often firmly entrenched in the erotic romance genre, reverse harem novels will give you plenty of sexual fantasy material, but of course also loads and loads of sweet sweet romance. After all, the more the merrier and love has no limits and only multiplies and all that.

We have compiled the best reverse harem books for your reading pleasure.

    Football reverse harem novel

    Football is my life, and coaching in the NFL is my dream. I have a doctorate in sports psychology, but the fact that I’m a woman means I couldn’t possibly know a thing about football, let alone coaching a team. At least, that’s what my critics say. Others argue a woman on the sidelines would be a distraction.

    Distraction. Pfft. I’m a professional, and I certainly don’t fall for players.
