this was my introduction to the rh realm. no smut. takes slow burn to next level. I miss when I was reading this series what a time. :')

This book is exactly what the title says. introductions. nothing exciting happens... No one dies... No one falls in love... But I am intrigued...

The characters became all too familiar with the protagonist far too quickly, accepting her with ease that was unnatural -not out of the ballpark unnatural- but unnatural nonetheless. I personally need to want to unearth little bits of the surrounding characters and have things revealed slowly enough for me to crave it, but not too slowly that I become frustrated and lose interest.

What's more, is that nothing even warranted the instant familiarity. I understand that the protagonist was sheltered her whole life, but even being at school and around people even a little bit -- you would not be so naive. She has no strength and is pulled around like some sort of secondary character and doted on as if they all knew each other so quickly.

Also, she seems to display a preference to the first guy she met, which is cute and shit, but it's supposed to be a reverse-harem. Favourites ruin the whole "reverse-harem" theme. It makes me feel like there's no point to all these extra guys continuously coming in, because the affection will always be more centred on the first guy.

I don't know. The plot and writing seems quite juvenile and honestly I felt like I was wasting my time by reading it.

Interesting story. Plenty of interesting characters.

Second time read. First time review.

Introductions was an interesting book to re-dive into. I still flew through this book (and forgot to add my buddy read comments) but I also noticed some things differently too.

This book follows Sang, who honestly has a terrible family. She gets punished way too often by her mother. Her sister knows about it but does nothing to stop it because if she did she would be punished. Oh, and their father is never around.

She just wants to escape from her family one night - one freaking night guys! On that midnight stroll, she gets ambushed by a dog named Max because he tackles her and then sits on her. How freaking cute is this dog right now? He just fucking sits on her. Of course, after that she meets his owner Dakota, aka Kota. He takes her back to his house and cleans her up, offers her dry clothes, and lets her sleep the night.

From then. she meets Victor, Silas, Nathan, Gabriel, Luke, and North. Pretty sure that's the correct order in how she meets this gang of friends but I'm not 100% sure at the moment. Of course somethings happen while she's meeting each person. They oddly because super protective over her instantly - but I think it's because they all have something in common. I mean, I know what it is.. but you don't find out in this book silly gooses! Sorry that I can't spoil it for you!!

After meeting the guys, they start to figure out that her life at home isn't safe. She talks one day to them and the next she has no voice because her mother made her drink vinegar with lemon juice. All because a boy called the house phone asking for her. FOR A FREAKING PHONE CALL PEOPLE!

Let's just say it - her mother is fucking crazy people. I can't wait to see her get what she deserves for how she's treated Sang in this book. When we meet her dad, well it's pretty obvious he gives zero fucks about his family. He was way more concerned with his phone calls.

Towards the end of the book, they are all at school getting registered for classes. That is when she meets Dr. Green and Mr. Blackbourne. Let's just say I love these two men because of the other books in this series - so I was really happy to meet them again!

Overall, it was a pretty interesting book. I did take away a star though but that's just because I haven't really seen the reverse harem part yet. They are all just friends right now but you can totally see and feel the sparks blooming.

It started out decent but never really picked up. And Sang's family dynamics make no sense.

3.5 stars

This is practically a 276 pages novella. Seriously. There’s no real plot, no action, nothing. It’s just an introduction to Sang and all of her boys – just like the titles says. But 276 pages are a lot when nothing happens and when the story repeats itself over and over every time Sang meets a new guy.

Sang is a complete Mary Sue. She is so shy, she blushes all the time and she is so desperate to have a friend that she clings on to every single boy she meets. (Maybe he likes me? Or is this just friendship? He is so cute. *blushes*) Gaaah! I know that her mom is basically crazy, but come on – that got old real fast! And the whole crazy-mom-who-watches-my-every-step kind of makes no sense, when Sang is able to sneak out over and over without ever being caught. Just another way for the author to get the parents out of the way, I believe.

The boys all seem very cute/nice/handsome/rich/amazing but I was unable to differ between them, even though they were introduces one by one. They are so alike that I wasn’t even able to pick a favorite – so sad!

I’m definitely not going to continue with this series – my predictions are books filled with a blushing Sang trying to figure out which boy she likes the most and I’m just not up for it!
