There's something about Nobody to Love You Better that I am not sure I like. There are aspects of the novel that are interesting and it starts off very strong. However, somewhere in the middle, ML Bash lost me and the end wasn't as gratifying as I was hoping. That said, the story is well-written and engaging with an interesting set of characters, albeit stereotypical ones. The MMC, Donovan/Bear and his best friend, Renier/Ren, have an extremely toxic and dependent relationship (attraction?) that causes them to share everything with one another, even the woman who they can only remember as the misguided young girl who "saved" each of them in equally traumatic incidents. While I find Nobody to Love You a bit far-fetched and frustrating to read sometimes, it is an overall easy to read reverse harem story that is quite spicy. A decent relaxing read, despite the length of the book.
