This book was previously published as a duology: Play With Me and This Round I'm Yours. Please check the description below for an explanation of how reverse harems in shoujo manga work. All the boys used to love me. That was how it was when I was still in high school, and I was head coach of Sacred Heart Academy's championship-winning basketball varsity team. I was their only girl, and they were all my boys. But then we all left for college...and everything fell apart. I thought there'd be no way to get my whole life back again until a certain smooth-talking billionaire with a devilish kind of charm seduced his way into the picture. Silver March, with his gently chiding words and lazy kisses, made me realize how much time I've wasted drowning myself in self-pity and insecurities. If I want my boys back, I need to remember how I used to be and start acting like it: a snarky tough-love chick that all the boys loved to hate but can't help but love. And as for Silver March, whom the paparazzi loves to describe as the perfect boyfriend...my heart only has room for basketball and my boys, so the billionaire just has to find someone else to take to his bed. Note: Reverse harem in shoujo manga, which is what this book has, typically means that the heroine is loved or lavishly doted upon by at least three men in her life. Not all of these men, however, may feel romantic love for her. It can be a different kind of love (e.g. filial), and there is rarely any menage involved. My type of reverse harem follows this pattern, so please expect my heroine to enjoy the most delicious shows of affection from the team of hot guys she coaches, but at the end of the day she's only going to enjoy a happy-ever-after with her just one man. Hope you can give it a try! Check out my other book My Russian Stepbrothers as another example of how reverse harem in shoujo manga works. For actual manga comparisons, my favorites would be Yona of the Dawn and The Wallflower by Tomoko Hayakawa
