Reverse harem books have grown in popularity over the past several years, with readers drawn to their irresistible blend of eroticism and high drama.
While the traditional harem focuses on male protagonists surrounded by women, the reverse harem trope has a woman front and center, adored by men of all shapes and sizes. We're not sure what could be hotter...except perhaps the addition of werewolves, vampires, demons, dragons, and all other kinds of paranormal pleasures. Sound up your alley? Keep reading for eight reverse harem romances with a paranormal twist.
Trickery
In Minatsol, being a dweller means you're at the bottom of the ladder, the lowest of the low. Will Knight is a non-magical being who is worthless in the eyes of the sols, the magic-blessed beings who could one day be chosen to become gods.
Everything changes when Willa is awarded a position to serve at Blesswood, the top sol academy in the world. Now, she is under the harsh eye of the gods, tasked with serving the Abcurse brothers. They are vengeful, almighty, and Willa has just been handed to them on a silver platter.
A Kiss of Shadows
Merry Gentry is a private investigator for the Grey Detective Agency, which deals with problems of the supernatural variety. It's a tough job, often dangerous, but it's a bed of roses compared to her old life.
In the high court of Faerie, she is Princess Meredith NicEssus, the heir to the throne and enemy of its current occupant, her aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness. Everyone thinks she's dead, but now the fae world needs her back. She needs to claim the throne and birth an heir, then stay alive long enough to be a queen.
By her side is an array of men, magical and monstrous, who will protect her and ensure her every need is satisfied. Every single one.

Power of Five

But nothing can stop others from coming to her, like the four fae warriors who have turned up at Lera's barn declaring themselves to be her bondmates.
River, Coal, Tye, and Shade have waited a decade for their new fifth to be chosen, and none of them expected it to be a mortal woman. They want to sever the bond and find a fifth more suitable for the lofty task. Yet she is alluring, so beautiful and enigmatic, that they can't resist her. Together, they will hold more power than even the most dangerous figures across the land, but now, Lera's life is at risk.
