One Bride for the Football Team

Rate this book
Four gorgeous college football players changed this art student’s world forever.
They make me tremble, beg for more—and they inspire my artist’s soul.
I belong to them now. And I’m never turning back.


The top five art school sins are:

1. Stealing someone else’s work
2. Not having an original idea
3. Drawing yourself nude
4. Being attracted to any of the muscular, gorgeous models

I'm a good girl.
I've always followed the rules, but now, all bets are off.
But it's not just about one guy... it's a whole team of men.
First there's Diego, the perfect specimen who models for my art class and puts me under his spell.
Then Trevor, a Golden Retriever of a man; cuddly and loving.
Zeke, who is the perfect boyfriend: s*xy, sweet and fits me perfectly.
And Spencer, the leader of them all—the one who connects with my soul.
I could never choose between them. Luckily, I don't have to.
They share everything from a schedule, to a dorm room to, well, me.
Can this ever be more than just a fling? Can we take this team to the final touchdown?

This is a steamy standalone 60,000 word novel with a HEA, and no cheating!

Title: One Bride for the Football Team: A Reverse Harem Romance
Author: Jess Bentley
Reviewer: Lorraine Leatham - Rainey Day Book Reviews
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐1/2

Lindy is a good girl. Always one who follows the rules. She is encouraged to step out of her comfort zone. Things have changed. Enters into her life not just one hot guy but four of them...a team.

First there's Diego, who models for the art classes. Then there is Trevor, who is sweet, cuddly and loving. Zeke, who is the perfect boyfriend: s*xy and sweet. Spencer, is the leader of them all and seems to have a direct connection with Lindy.

I honestly had a hard time getting into the book until nearly the middle. I picked this book up through KU. The editing issues got to me. I suggest going through and re-editing. I put it down and went back to it several times. It seemed slow going in the beginning. Most likely to build the story but this really wasn't a super long book.

I admit I am not really into the RH genre but ultimately, I did enjoy this story. I enjoyed the twists and turns. These men act as protectors for Lindy and their relationship grows like any other relationship and it works for them.

This was another great read by Jess Bentley. Lindy is a college junior and is an art major. The dean wants her to step outside her box and take a chance to do things different, so she signs her up for another art class. Spencer, Diego, Zeke and Trevor are all juniors and starters on the football team. They each bring something different to the relationship. It was great to see how well the five of them get along. The guys are as close as brothers, and when they are around Lindy, they are so protective of her. This was a great storyline and I loved the characters. This is a reverse harem, with insta lust to love, a little suspense and sone twists. The connection they all h e is so strong that no one can break it and their chemistry is so off the charts hot. If you like th, don’t miss this one.

I enjoyed this book once I got into it, but it did take me a couple of attempts. I wasn't keen on Lindy at first as she came across as cocky rather than confident like I think the author wanted. I ended up putting my Kindle down and coming back the following day to try again. I stuck with it and the story did get better. I liked all the guys and couldn't pick my favourite as they're all hot. You're also able to feel the attraction between Lindy and the guys, and the sex scenes were hot. I've come away with mixed feelings as I did enjoy this RH story in the end, but I'm unsure if I'd read the other RH books by the author as the titles make me think they're all going to be similar. I honestly think this is a book where you need to read it and make up your own mind.

What a hot book and what’s not to love about having multiple men lusting after you, Diego,Trevor,Zeke, Spence all what her and she want them all as well so why choose just one when she can have them all and they each bring out the best in her in different ways and her art and they also all feel they must protect her from the campus smut underground website that someone is now targeting her and posting pictures of her. Now they must work together to keep there new lifestyle together going and learn to understand each other’s dreams. Lindy knows nothing about football and the guys know nothing about art but they soon learn that there differences is what makes them whole.

I don’t even know where to begin to write a review for this book. That was one wild ride. I love Lindy’s spirit. She knows who she is and wants to stay true to that core strength even when the world is trying to change her. Each one of the men that has been drawn into her sphere has something special to offer: playfulness, protectiveness, pure genius, and vulnerability. All of these traits appeal in different ways. To me, this story is about the family we create out of the people we choose to love.

ART, LOVE, SPORTS AND A WOMAN’S DREAMS COME TRUE

Lindy, Belinda, is a contemporary artist that is being forced out of her norm to become, what her dean considers, greater. She is ordered to join a collaboration art group where she meets the football team, four players in need of elective points to continue playing in the final playoffs for the year. They all become inseparable when Lindy finds that her privacy is being invaded and shown on a semi-dark campus website. She becomes the love of the four players and finds fulfillment amongst their ranks.

Reverse harem lacked depth

Not much individuality was given to our four heroes. I feel like everything was very superficial. The outside drama was an unnecessary plot device to keep the heroes with the heroine at all times. I figured out who the “bad guy” was early on but the reasoning for doing what they did was just stupid and pointless. I could get over all that if the sex scenes were great but that was lacking too. I felt no chemistry between the characters and the sex scenes felt rushed/mechanical. Disappointed🙁

Insta-love, Insta-sexy times four! Lindy is an art major who her Dean feels is too rigid and conservative. The Dean connects Lindy in a class with the four starting football players who need an elective. Being with them causes her creativity to explode and her art work takes off in a new direction. Meanwhile the guys are protecting her from a person/people who are posting thousands of pictures of Lindy on the campus underground website.

4.5 Stars! So good!
Highly enjoyable read! I actually loved all the different personalities of the guys, but Trevor was my favorite. I found him so endearing. I really like Lindy, too. I loved the plot and the unexpected reveal at the end! There was some similarities to a previous book that Jess Bentley wrote in the past but this was so much better! Well written and likable characters!

It was pretty good. On the short side, but long enough to get a story across. Noticed a few grammar mistakes, but nothing aweful. I liked how each character, including the side characters, each had their own personality and feel to them, and that it came through.

There were a few instances when Liddy didn't quite click with me, but I liked her. It was a quick read. The story was pretty fast paced and straight forward. There was a plot, but it wasn't dragged out. I enjoyed it.

I'm not sure if I read the same book as everyone else but in one of the first few chapters of the book, Diego (one of male leads) was searching for porn featuring a good friend of the female lead? And he was searching from some kind of secret website where members post candid images of supposedly good looking undergraduates in the school?

Words, I need to find words! Holy, holy hot! Great story of intsa-love. All main characters stood out in their own way. They face various temptations and danger, and many twists and turns along the way. Why have one lover when you can have more? Why have one soul mate when you can have multi? This book is sweet while being Scorching hot at the same time.

A sweet and steamy sports romance!

A sweet and steamy sports romance this was enjoyable from start to finish. This newest release had a good flow with an easy to read storyline that made for a read with a lot of heat level. I loved the chemistry Lindy had with her four men and they in turn was very protective of her.

Sweet story

I loved this story. All the male main characters were so sweet. No bullies and so respectful. Lindy was cute too. She started out as a little shy, but boy did she turn that around. I liked the plot about the underground pictures and the surprise person who was behind it.
Overall it was a great read. Will be reading more from this author. Highly recommend.

The College Experience.....

I am not usually a fan of sports romance, but this story is much more than just that. It actually focuses on the art and artists than the football, thankfully! Sweet, sexy, and funny story that is a very enjoyable book.

This one is tons of fun to read. Academia and sports melt together nicely in this RH. Hot, yet sweet at the same time. A little suspense not overly played. I really enjoyed this one. I received an ARC of this book and chose to leave a review.

While "sports" themed stories aren't my usual genre...I really, really liked this one. Lindy and her four guys give a new meaning to team effort.

This book is about an art student & four football players, the story was a little bit hard to get into but once I got through a few chapters I found it easier. Wish the book cover was more like the football team with hair color!

Interesting Story Line

I wondered how a RH could be worked into college life. Good job for the pieces coming together so smoothly. Quick read, sex was hot of course but not raunchy by any means.

A smoking hot insta-love.

This book grabs hold of you from the start and doesn't let go till the last page. If you like four smoking hot football players who is all about the safety , comfort and love of the right woman this is a wonderful story.

One bride for the football team

It was a cute stand alone book. Only confusing thing is that there was no bride, why name it that and no marriage? Should be renamed one girlfriend lol

fun day read

A little intrigue,no cheating,no cliffhangers, just 4 boys who fall for a girl, and she loves them just as much. Quick easy read, characters are loyal & honest, plot moves smoothly. If you need a lot deep dark detail, this will probably be disappointing.
