Publisher Description
In a world where male children are rare, a man is a valuable commodity—to be sold to the highest bidder…
It isn’t easy being the oldest boy in a house run by women—especially for Jerin Whistler. The grand-matriarchs of his clan are descended from soldiers, spies, and thieves. That’s partly what’s kept their family alive in the wilderness. But it also means Jerin’s doomed to marry the girls next door—a fate he’s convinced is worse than death. But Jerin gets in even worse trouble when, in the process of a daring rescue, he falls in love with a royal princess who’s as high above his station as it’s possible to be.
Ren knows that Jerin is too far below her class to be an appropriate match for her and her royal sisters. But then she hears rumors of a long-held Whistler family secret—one that might provide a way for them to finally be together. Unfortunately, she still has four sisters to convince. And that’s before Jerin even comes to the capital—where simmering political tensions will threaten not just their love, but all their lives...

I want my money back
I jumped into this book because do of the interesting setups and that I really liked another series this author wrote. The first couple chapters were pretty amusing, and as I read on it just felt more and more wrong!
The main character, Jerin, felt more and more girly as the story goes on that I often misread his sex as a 'she'! If all you are going to write is a reversed sex Cinderella story, then why bother with this interesting setup of shifting of power in gender?! I could have probably used the find and replace and exchanged 'he's and 'she's, and I bet this novel will still read with no problem! It makes me feel the whole point of the setup was an excuse so Jerin can have sex with many women and still call it true love. Disgusting!
I can't see how it could be true love when you court between 10 some women. "Oh god I fell in love with another women." "Ah it's alright, that's just another wife."
If you looking for serious sci-fi adventure, go read some else with more action plot. If you are looking for romance, go read a proper romance novel between man and woman, or even between man and man, or woman and woman.
