Sin City Beasts #3
Surrounded by the Beasts
They’re massive. They’re untamed. They’re my new roommates ... and they’re completely off-limits.
Working as the receptionist at Beasts Ink is a dream come true for two it flexes around my school schedule, which is my main focus, and gives me a chance to soak up the atmosphere. And by atmosphere, I mean the three huge tattoo artists who provide a delicious distraction from my responsibilities with their ripped, inked bodies and raw, primal energy.
There’s Zeb, who seems unapproachable … but my instincts tell me there’s more to him than sardonic wit and animal magnetism. His corded muscles and dark tattoos make me want to run my hands all over him.
Charming giant Griffin is all wicked smiles and playful teasing, but there’s a fierce hunger in his eyes—like he’s one breath away from devouring me.
And Frank doesn’t have to roar to make his power known. He’s intense, decisive, and when his dark eyes lock on mine, I swear I can feel him claiming me without a word.
When our bosses task the four of us with opening a new location, the tension between us becomes unbearable. Then my apartment is condemned, and I have no choice but to move in with the three beasts who already haunt my every thought.
Now, I’m trapped in their world—surrounded by the heat of their bodies, the growl of their voices, and the constant temptation that threatens to consume me. Getting involved would break every rule and endanger my future, but how can I resist when these wild men make me want to surrender completely?

So So Good
Surrounded By Beasts is the next in the series about Beasts Tattoos. The characters from the other two books make an appearance. Ember is in her final year of college and shes running the front desk at Beasts. The guys Kai and Gage want open a second location and they want Ember to manage it. Griffen, the jokester, Zeb, the quiet one, and Frank, the big brother are going to be the featured artists. There is now a rule about hook ups. Don’t. But the guys all have a thing for Ember and it’s returned. But she can’t afford to lose her job. She’s sending any money she doesn’t need to live back home to her mom and two sisters. When her apartment is condemned the guys, who share a house, convince her to move in with them. Let the party begin. Ember is torn. She doesn’t know how to solve her problems. She really likes her guys. This is a fun, steamy romance. Stephanie Brother is the Queen of Reverse Harem stories. When I see her name I automatically know it’s going to be good. I highly recommend this book. Oh and the little twist at the end, Awesome. 😁

Ember works as receptionist at Beast Ink. When she and 3 very hot Artists are tapped to open and run a new location Ember is over the moon. Managing the new location is a big step in her career. The only problem is there is a firm no dating between employees rule and the 3 men, Griffin, Zeb and Frank, are definitely interested in seeing more of Ember. As she works with them she is becoming more and more attracted to them too. What follows is some very steamy, very angsty drama. This is such a good story with great characters. There are laughs and smexy times. One of the things I love about a Stephanie Brother book is how strong the women are. They are strong enough to be soft for their men but don't need to take garbage from anyone. I know nothing about tattoo artists or getting a tattoo but these Ink books make it interesting for me. Stephanie's world building is outstanding. Her characters are 3 dimensional with flaws and growth. Her stories are very well written and a lot of fun to read. 5 stars

I am always ready to read more of this series, and these characters and their relationship was very entertaining.
The tattoo shop that Kai and Gage own has expanded, and Ember is hired to run the front desk at the location where Frank, Zeb and Griffin are artists. It doesn't take long for each one of them to develop feelings for her, and become protective. A problem with her building leaves her without a place to stay, and since the guys all share a house, they invite her to move in temporarily (and we all know how close proximity tropes go!).
This was easy to read, the pages turned themselves, and I enjoyed the steamy interactions between these characters. I do recommend reading this series in order for the best experience, but it's not a have-to. I received a free ARC, I look forward to the next new release from this talented author, and happily leave my review.

This story does not disappoint, with action, drama, and high heat, each character is well thought out, and the storyline flows smoothly and brings a romance that will leave you feeling hot and bothered at times. Ember is studying for her business degree but is working full-time in the tattoo parlour with her bosses, and three other men, Zeb, Griffin, and Frank who she is attracted to, and she later discovers that they are to her. At first, the relationship between all three of them is strained because she’s trying to resist her attraction but eventually, she realises it’s inevitable, and this is their story. You won’t be disappointed in how this story involves and you are left with a happily ever after.
I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and I am reviewing with my honest and fair opinion.

Ember is the receptionist at Beasts Ink while she is finishing college. Earning the trust of her employers, she is promoted to running a new expansion shop taking tattoo artists, Zeb, Griffin, and Frank as the initial artists for the new shop. When she unexpectedly is unable to live in her apartment, the guys insist she move in with them as their place is closer to the new shop and would save on her commute. However, each guy has had a secret crush on Ember. When she moves in it becomes harder to hide, so they come up with a plan, date them all until it is time for her to move back to her apartment. But with growing feelings, and twists and turns, will that plan work out?

Can she, will she, grab life by the hand and learn how to live and thrive?

Ember's ability to consistently show up in business attire demonstrates her strong willpower. I can't say I would have been able to resist, especially with everyone dressed down and surrounded by all that sexy ink. *swoon*
Is it okay for me to say that I don’t have a favorite between Frank, Zeb, and Griffin? Each of these men brings something unique to the table, and it’s just love, love, and more love. They are funny, broody, serious, talented, and, most importantly, loving. We would all be lucky to have a Griffin, Zeb, and Frank in our lives. Emmy is certainly one lucky lady!

Once again, Stephanie has given us an amazing book with three hot guys who are possessive, tattooed and sexy. Ember is one lucky woman. I really liked that she didn’t just sleep with all of them right away and they were magically in love, but instead there was a journey. Griffin, Zeb and Frank worked hard to win her heart and they were so good at it. All three of them have won my heart too but Griffin is my favorite. And did I mention they were hot and sexy and they knew how to use their equipment?

Ember (FMC) is putting herself through University by working as a receptionist at Beasts Inc tattoo shop. A new location for a new Beasts Inc and a new job puts Ember working with 3 hot tattooists - Griffin, Zeb and Frank all from the old tattoo shop and guys she's attracted too. Having them in close proximity leads to plenty of steamy scenarios. I loved the dynamic that they had together especially when she moved into their house. Which was off of the charts hot! A great read with characters I loved.

Beastly
What's a girl to do when she's promoted and manager to three sexy beasts? Allow them to make her even happier.
When Ember finds herself the new manager over the second Beasts Ink shop, she's a stickler for the rules. When she loses her apartment and moves in with her three employees, all her well intentioned rule following goes out the door in a rush of lusty gratification.
One complaint from a jealous customer nearly ends her career. Her men won't stand for it. She's end game.
Want to fall in love with some beastly men? I recommend this series.

Ember works the front desk at Beast Ink and tried her best to steer clear of the three hunky tattoo artists that set her on fire. When she gets the opportunity to run the new shop with the three men, she takes it, but she’s adamant it’s professional only. Frank, Zeb and Griffin all want Ember, but these best friends have never shared a woman together. It’s a rocky road they travel on the way to their happily ever after, but it’s worth the journey. Hit and steamy, with a sense of humor and warmth. Loved it!

Love this author. You see the other people from the other two books in this one of course. It is about 3 men and the one woman they want to run their new beast. She is sending everything she can in terms of money and all back home to her mother and sisters and now her apartment gets condemned. The 3 guys want her to move in with them but with the new rule about no fraternization it is a dilemma. Lots of excitement, emotions and not to mention hot. I received a review copy and voluntarily review it
February 25, 2025
Ember loves her job at the tattoo parlor. Specifically getting to work along side of three sexy hunks Griffin, Frank, and Zeb. There is a no dating among employees rule so she just drools from afar. That is until the owners open new shop with Ember in charge of Griffin, Frank,and Zeb. Add to that that her apartment has been condemned and she has no choice but to move in with the boys. Steamy reverse harem. Loved it.

Good book! Nothing like working with 3 huge, muscular, hot and tattooed men!! In a tattoo shop too.
Ember receives a promotion as manager of a new tattoo shop. While working with Frank, Griffin and Zeb, they all start to have sexual feelings for each other. Their chemistry is great!
Every time Ember thinks about ending it with the guys she puts it off. She's afraid of losing her job.
HEA is definite.

temptation
Ember’s bosses ask her to run the new tattoo shop they are opening. She agrees. The new shop will also have the artist she has a crush on. Frank, Griffin, and Zeb. She wants to be professional and avoid temptation. Her apartment becomes condemned. The guys tell her they have room and she can stay with them. Can they keep it professional, or will proximity be too much temptation? Is it just a fling, or will it be so much more? Come on in and find out.

The age-gap thing isn't my fav, and while it was only a decade, it does feel bigger between 22 and 30+ (and Frank really *felt* older than early 30s) than it would have if she'd been 30 and any of her partners had been 40+. The book does a decent job of putting them all in a similar-ish place (despite her finishing up school), and overall delivered on the promises it makes. If you enjoy a reverse harem, Stephanie Brother, or tattoo artist romances, this is going to be right in your wheelhouse.
February 20, 2025
This book is fantastic! I was so excited when I read this blurb because it meant the perfect receptionist was finally found! Ember is a lovely match for Frank, Zeb and Griffin. The interactions between all of them is written so well. I loved reading more about Frank and Zeb. The heat was just right too. Would definitely read this again. I'd give it ten stars if I could.

Who doesn’t love a tattoo artist and now we get to love three! These guys are awesome and are absolutely perfect for Ember! This book kept me captivated from page one! This author is amazing at RH and I’m never disappointed! I loved seeing previous characters in this! Very enjoyable and entertaining and I highly recommend! This is my honest opinion of this complimentary copy of this book
February 24, 2025
What a fabulous story of Emma and three gorgeous tattoo artists. She was the manager of the tattoo parlour and would not risk losing her job because she had the hots for the three of them. And they sure had the hots for her too. It gets harder and harder to keep her feelings to herself and takes a very big risk. I loved this story.
February 24, 2025
Stephanie never disappoints me with her books and this one was no different.
We get drama, humor, sexual tension, and delicious spice!
The banter and chemistry between Ember and the guys is perfect. I love how the relationships developed and became love.
Frank, Griffin, and Zeb...I couldn't pick a favorite.
I loved all the additional epilogues too.

Stephanie has brought us back to Beast Ink and taken us to a new location. When the owners decide to expand their business they send three of their artists who happen to live close to the new location and promote their current receptionist to manager.
There are sparks between each of these guys and their boss. But can they keep it quiet?

Third Installment Falls Flat
I had really enjoyed the first two books in this series, but this one missed the target for me. Did these people actually like each other? Also, thought we were going to get an exploration of the themes of shame and Ember’s “lockbox” but that was dropped shortly after it was introduced.

Ember is too cute for words, and Zeb, Frank and Griffin think so too. Of course, there is always drama and some sort of conscientious dilemma, but love wins out in the end. Just a little peeved that the cliffhanger is for a book that will not be published for 5 months, but it will be nice to continue the story.

Another amazing BEAST of a novel. As someone who already read the other two books, I'm always happy to see another book from the same series. I hope to receive this kind of review one day on my debut novel I release last year!
February 21, 2025
Ember tried to ignore her feelings, but once she knew that Zeb, Griffin, and Frank felt the same way it was a lot harder for her to. A really good addition to this series! And that ending 🤭 Can't wait to read more!
February 21, 2025
This author did it again. I love how she sets up the plot. This story is no exception. I loved reading about Ember. Her struggles are real which made me want to read this book in one go. Highly recommend it!
