Reverse Harem Romances That Need to Be Written

I just read my first book in this fascinating genre and I can’t stop thinking about my fantasy reverse harems

I’m new here. Bear with me. I just Columbused this amazing sub-sub-sub-genre of romance novel and now that I’m here, I am here for it.

What’s a reverse harem?

We all know what a harem is, right? It can be anything from a sacred private space for the women of a Muslim family to a group of women dedicated to, married to, owned by one man — large-scale polygamy.

Your imagination probably takes you to the typical Western vision of the royal harems of the Middle East, where a great sultan lords over hundreds of virgins to chose from each night.

Now just tone that down a bit and mix up the gender/sexuality dynamics and you’ve got yourself a reverse harem. The modern harem concept apparently originated in manga books, where a group of admirers follows one boy or girl around. I’m not really into manga, but I love books about magic and the supernatural — so a paranormal romance was just what the doctor ordered.

A whole new erotic literary world (for me anyway)

The book I and several of my female friends just listened to is called Neck-Romancer, by Elizabeth Dunlap and narrated by Valentina Ortiz. The story was short and sweet. The narrator had the perfect silky smooth voice for light erotica with a hearty helping of snark from the totally-over-the-bullshit main character.

In this novel, Jasmine Neck discovers she is the rarest kind of witch there is — a necromancer. In short order, she heads off to witch boarding school and meets not one, not two, but three soulmates. One is a human wizard from a powerful family, one is a shapeshifting wolf/human called a Lycan, and finally there’s a ghost who’s been following her around for years.

I had no idea what to expect from this book or genre, but multiple men pledging their undying love, support, devotion, service, and protection to me plus plenty mind blowing sex?

Yes, please!

I think this might be what women want! Or at least, I want this. And my friends who listened to the audio book want this. Instead of a woman trying to fill multiple roles in her life all at once, let’s have multiple people fulfilling her (my) needs.

Of course, each new novel in the genre has a new twist, a new combo. So I thought it only fitting to fantasize a few of my own.

Reverse harems I need in real life

A chef, a cleaner & a child minder : This reverse harem is all about making my life easier. It might seem totally boring, but delicious food, a clean house, and some time to myself is sexy as hell. I might even have the time and energy to bone all three of these studs at the end of the day.

Having a devoted team to make you the best and most successful, well marketed writer you can be — that’s what! Making money from it would be the mind-blowing orgasm on top of the success sundae!

A listener, a talker & an enforcer : Tired parents/partners everywhere know the value of a good listener, be it a child who listens and obeys, a partner who pays attention to what you’re saying, just having somebody who absorbs your words is so important. But that’s hard to find! That’s why I need a designated talker in my reverse harem: someone who knows what I want to say and that I am too damn exasperated and tired to say it. Finally, once I’ve been heard and spoken for, I would find it seductive as hell to have someone follow through on the enforcement of the aforementioned words.

A travel agent, a pilot & a sponsor : A tropical getaway is a dream come true — but who has time to plan that shit, let alone pay for it? So having a team to tackle my travel plans would make it way easier for me to rock their worlds once we get where we’re going.

A coach, a therapist & a massage therapist: The center of a reverse harem needs to be fulfilled not only physically, but also spiritually and mentally. After a good cry, a good workout and a relaxing deep-tissue massage, I’ll be ready to reciprocate, if you know what I mean.

So many possibilities…

I could go on, I’m sure. But instead, it’s time to pick out my next read. You know my friends and I are forming a reverse harem paranormal romance reading club, right? YOLO. Might as well enjoy it to the fullest.

The sky’s the limits and I’m not really sure where to start, so I might just start at the top of the list and work my way down.

Recommendations welcome!
