Snowballed by Stephanie Brother was everything I hoped for! Compared to her other reverse harem books, Snowballed is more innocent and exploratory, which hits the mark perfectly considering Sierra’s personality and unpleasant life experiences.
Visualizing that scene when Sierra first sees Carter stepping out of the steamy bathroom in just a low-slung towel made my jaw drop. Her playacting sesh with Drew was just adorable, and her bouncing off ideas with Tristan was refreshing! The attraction was apparent from the start, especially with Drew who is the most approachable.
I liked the fact that the three men are not in the biz … to me, this meant liberation for Sierra later, and she would have the opportunity to decide to do what she wants rather than have people tell her what to do all the time.
Their first time together was just so beautiful it made me sigh. It was perfect! The entire scene was romantic and gentle while still managing to be very sensual and lip-bitingly hot!
Later when they are officially together, their encounters are all implied, rather than explicitly described. For anyone who is being introduced to the concept of reverse harems for the first time, this is a good story to start with as you don’t get slapped in the face with sex, sex, sex!
Snowballed is gentle and loving … and will get a reverse harem virgin curious about the other characters introduced who appear in this book. And, perhaps, will get him/her/them to read the rest of the Roommates series.

I rarely post negative reviews so I will try my best to give some pros and cons about Naughty #TeXXXt by Sarwah Creed.
Pros:
- only 24 chapters but each chapter is long enough that you don’t feel cheated
- the men in the story are not abusive
Cons:
- large jumps in the story
- lots of sex, but not enough story
Bianca’s dad is a conman who is using her to get money from a rich former classmate. They meet him and his triplet sons, well-known as rich playboys in their school who have little respect for women.
These three decided a long time ago that they will only be involved with one woman only to keep their family together since the last time one of them had a relationship on his own almost ruined their relationship with each other. She avoids them.
Somehow as the story progresses she ends up being accused and threatened by Alessandro before he pushes her against the wall and kisses her passionately. Then Carlo decides to woo her and they go out on a few dates. To cut to the chase, she loses her virginity to him in a locker room. And they continue dating. Then, the story fast-forwards in the next chapter and she encounters Adolfo at the bar she works at while closing up and she goes down on him behind the bar. After, she invites him to her place and tells him Carlo could join in.
At some point in the story, Alessandro joins in, and all three end up in a relationship with her. There is some mention made about their dad’s mafia connection, her dad dying, etc, but most of it is just sex, sex, sex. In the end, she is pregnant and proposed to by one of the three but is still in a relationship with all of them.
If what you are in the mood for is porn, smut, or something for your spank bank, then this is probably up your alley. But if you like the heat and want more substance, then I have a few excellent authors to introduce you to … some of whom I’ve already posted reviews on over the last few months here.
So … this is not amongst my favorites but it isn’t the worst I’ve read.

Huge House Hates by Stephanie Brother is one wild roller coaster ride! This story is so good that I could not put it down – started and was completed in just a few hours!
The Carlton brothers prank hard and love hard and Cora could give as good as she got! Even though Tobias is the youngest (I’m guessing 21) I couldn’t help but be attracted to him the most from the beginning. But each brother brought something unique and endearing to the story and relationship. In Cora’s shoes, I’d fall in love with them, too.
Personally, I am not a fan of pranks so that was a strike for me against them. Thankfully, there were less-impulsive brothers to sort or rein in the prankster (if only by a little bit). With the Carlton brothers, it is either you love them or hate them.
The pranks get out of hand and at times are downright cruel. Eventually, a truce gets called. When a bad penny from Cora’s past shows up at their doorstep and traumatized her, their dynamics change and a relationship starts to develop.
As always, Stephanie Brother’s books are designed to make us feel good … HEA guaranteed. You can get a copy of Huge House Hates by Stephanie Brother on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback versions.

Four Fun by Stephanie Brother is unique in that from the very beginning, we, the readers, are told that Becca only wants sex, no relationship!
While women who know what they want and go after it is not uncommon for Stephanie’s female lead characters, Becca has to be the most determined I have ever encountered. Her encounters with these four delicious men are just amazing on so many levels. I tend to immerse myself in the characters as I read so I would be alternately highly aroused, highly amused, puzzled, etc.
As a reader, I already know from the get-go where the story is going so I must admit to being impatient for Becca to realize who the roommates are. The reveal was epic! But I must admit, Shane stole my heart on the first night. He was so tender and loving that I wanted to slap Becca on the back of her head for being so distant and insisting on a one-nighter.
Four Fun by Stephanie Brother is DEFINITELY a MUST-READ! You can get a copy of this book in Kindle or paperback formats on Amazon. Don’t forget to read the other books in the series!

This story certainly has steamy scenes that took my breath away but more than the sex their love story was tender. I also love the fact that they are rich is incidental, not crucial, to the story.
Compared to the previous story, though, Jock Blocked by Stephanie Brother is pretty tame. It has that feel of a Cinderella Story where this sweet, loving girl is being oppressed by wicked bridesmaids but is rescued by 3 prince charmings aka the best men.
Three gorgeous men who all happen to be CEOs of their companies and billionaires to boot, find themselves irresistibly attracted to Maddie, a curvy brunette who always saw herself as the “ugly sister”. Kincaid, Jesse, and Brock are quick to prove her otherwise once they were given the opportunity to do so.
There are many heated moments in this story but compared to Stephanie’s other stories this is relatively tame so for reverse harem virgins, this will probably be something they could digest easily.
Grab your copy of Jock Blocked by Stephanie Brother on Amazon.
