Welcome back to the Delusional Boyfriend Book Club! For May's Reverse Harem of the Month, host Courtney is joined by romance novel cohost Phoebe to dive into Half the Battle by Elle Thorpe—a gritty, high-heat romance set in the dark and dangerous world of Saint View. Bliss is barely holding it together after her brother’s death, juggling grief, secrets, and the pressure of running his bar. As tension builds in Saint View, so does the pull between her and three very different, very intense men: Nash, War, and Vincent. But Vincent isn’t just Vincent—his hidden identity as Scythe adds a whole new level of risk and temptation Bliss never saw coming. Courtney and Phoebe unpack the emotional angst, complex dynamics, and why Half the Battle is perfect for fans of found family, loyalty tested by fire, and reverse harems that go hard on both plot and passion. Join us each month as we explore a new BL anime, BL manga, BL manhwa, and reverse harem romance novel. New episodes drop every 5th, 15th, and 25th, so be sure to subscribe on YouTube or your favorite podcast app and never miss out on the book club fun! #reverseharem #whychoose #saintviewpsychos #ellethorpe #darkromance #spicybooks #booktokromance #delusionalboyfriendbookclub
