Blind Date

Friends and Family #3

by Stephanie Brother

I didn't expect to win the dating show.
I was in the audience - at the back.

Four gorgeous NFL players were supposed to the contestants
but they turned the game on its head and chose me.

Chosen once by one star might be good luck, but four was just crazy!

Cocky and arrogant Tyler Reed had bags of self-confidence and a dirty mouth to match his mind.
Quarterback, Ethan Paulson, was such a wholesome guy any woman would be lucky to have him.
The Rollins twins, Jake and Lewis had their reasons for believing they’d never find true love.

The instant the guys saw Kayla, they knew she had more than enough to offer the right men.
But falling hard and fast was the easy part.
Finding themselves wrapped up in an unconventional relationship was where things started to fall apart.

Blind Date is a full-length reverse harem romance novel. It is a standalone title with a happy ever after. There are cross-over characters and locations that have appeared in other books by Stephanie Brother.

Ethan, Tyler, Jake and Lewis are at a bar one night because their team's management arranged for them to do this charity dating event. All four of them are a little down because their team isn't doing their best and their lives are blah. All of them are ready to start the next chapter of their lives with the right woman and to start a family. The problem is none of them have even seen a woman who interest them. Then a beautiful woman named Kayla brings them their food order and all four are instantly attracted to her. It is too bad that one of them might have to date a stranger that night. The four men keep pursuing Kayla and they fall in love with her. She enjoys being with them but she can't choose just one for her own. Maybe the team that works together on the field can work together in bed too.

Kayla works as a cook at one of her dad's bars. One night at her job, they were running a special event. One lucky winner was going to choose one of the four sexy football players from the local pro team to be her date for the night. It is a modern version of the Dating Game. Kayla can't keep her eyes off the players on stage and it seems that each one is eyeing her. After the game, the three unpicked bachelors, Jake, Tyler and Lewis hunt her up and try to convince her to date them. Unsure that they are serious, she turns them down. The men don't give up though and she feels herself falling in love with each man. She just can't choose just one to be with so she decides to be with none. They come up with a different suggestion.

In this book it is about Kayla the head cook at the Ugly Duckling who meets 4 pro football player’s Tyler, Ethan, and the twin Jake and Lewis. While the guys are there for a charity to do a blind date event they see Kayla who serves them their food and it seems that love at first sight may have get the guys. But as the night goes on Ethan is the lucky one to get to know her first. And that when Kayla realize that the guys are not who she though they would be. Then she saw Tyler the next morning but he is a cocky little shit that Kayla has to put in place. She feels a connection with both of them and doesn’t know what to do about it. And then the twin Jake and Lewis comes and she can’t help but start fall for them. Now she confused and doesn’t want to hurt anyone. Plus now you have events happen that could hurt their relationship. The guys doesn’t care about anything but them and want to be with her. So now the question is will Kayla be able to get over everything and will they be able to get past everything that is happening to get their Hea?

I absolutely love this author and everything I read by her. This book was no different. It was wonderfully written and flowed so well. Couldn’t put it down.

We are back at the Ugly Duckling. Kayla, the cook and owners daughter, sees herself as anything but ordinary. She’s down on herself. She goes to work and goes straight home. Lewis and Jake, known as the Bruisin Brother, are opposites in ever way. Jake is more to the point where as Lewis is poetic. Together they get Kayla out of her mind and in the present. Making her feel comfortable with them and free. Tyler, bad boy persona, makes her feel accepted in what she wants. Never once does he have an issue with what she wants as long as he is included. Ethan, the quarterback, is the sweet and sensitive type. He takes the longest to get into the whole sharing her with the others but finds himself throughout the book. Together they make an unstoppable group with lots of chemistry and heat.

This book had me literally laughing out loud. I just couldn’t help it. There is so much humor to go with the steam and seriousness of the book. Added with a marriage between parents that make everything a little more complicated. A book that will keep you turning the pages for more. Loved this.

I will start with saying I love Stephanie Brother's books. After the dark reads I want fun and steamy books and enjoy the way she handles the reverse harems. This book has 4 hot footballers falling for a girl who thinks "why not"; when propositioned by one of them after another as she thinks you only live once and when else will you have chance to hook up with a pro football star. The guys view it a different way and are each falling for her.

An unexpected turn brings her back in touch with the footballers and they decide to try a reverse harem relationship. This book was different in one of the guys was a bit shy and uncertain about it. I enjoy how Stephanie always works with the reactions with all the people involved in the relationship and the people involved in their lives and how the relationship effects everyone. Enjoyed this book but then I enjoy most of her books and the taboo topics.

Kayla works as the chef at her dads bar. Gill which is the bar's manager was hosting and setting up a blind date night at the bar. Gill tried to talk Kayla to be the female contestant. Kayla wasn't having any of it. Kayla was fine with cooking food and not being the center of attention. Kayla was a t-shirt and jeans woman. Ethan, Jake, Tyler, Lewis and Hank are all friends. Ethan, Jake, Lewis and Tyler agreed on doing some good PR and were signed up to do a blind date with with one lucky woman. Hank is there gay friends and there to support them. Kayla wasn't sure if the four guys were flirting with her or not. She just blew it off and went on to work. Ethan went on the blind right there at The Ugly Duckling but it wasn't with the woman that he got tongue tied about. The guys are all friends and talked about that they each liked Kayla, that is was wife material. I enjoyed reading this book. I loved the storyline and plot.

The Ugly Ducking is a bar where all of the books in this series are set. For this book, Kayla Martin's Dad owns the bar where she works as a cook.

Jake and Lewis Rollins (Twins 😍), Tyler Reed, and Ethan Paulson are all football players on the same NFL team. They are as close as brothers.

At the Ugly Duckling, the boys are part of a dating game for publicity where a lucky winner can go on a date with one of them. I loved the use of the old dating show on TV as the muse for the game. I loved this show when I was a kid!

This book was a little bit different because Kayla meets them and relations happen outside of each other around the same time. Because the boys are so close none of the others care.

I loved how it wasn't just rainbows and flowers. There were real feelings mixed in and I felt it while reading. As always, there's a little taboo thrown in bedsides having twins. Loved reading this book!

Jake, Tyler, Lewis and Ethan work together and are at a charity dating event when they meet Kayla. Kayla brings them their food and the only woman so far to draw their attention. Kayla works at her father's bar as the cook and on this night they are doing to dating theme event. Each of the men up for the event are looking at her like she's their last meal. When the even ends and three of the men approach her for a date with them she doesn't really believe they are serious and turns them down. However the men are very serious and aren't about to give up. When she starts dating them she can't seem to pick just one. Will the guys make her choose one of them? Or can they all be happy in a relationship together?

This is a steamy hot story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written Na dvery entertaining book. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Another good story from another author who always delivers great menage stories. This wonderful story is of one women Kayla who works for her father in a bar and Grill called the Ugly Duckling.
They are currently trying out different dating games. And this one is where four men get questioned by one women. However when Kayla sets eyes on all four of these men its instant attraction. But she has a job to do. The men Jake, Tyler, Lewis and Ethan are part of a NFL football team and have been told to go along for good PR. But when they all see Kayla its attraction for them as well. Over time all the men date her but theres more to worry about with the men, one of them will be her stepbrother soon.
You definitely will be glad you have picked this good read up, it is really worth your while reading!!!

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this story about Kayla, Tyler, Ethan, Lewis and Jake. The guys all play football together and are best friends. Jake and Lewis are even twins. The have agreed to a charity dating game at the bar Ugly Duckling, where Kayla works as a cook. When they see her from afar they all want to get to know her, but she's not the contestant guy the game. Instead they answer all the questions looking at her. Kayla can't believe these players are even looking her way, she's just a plain jane. Each one wants the chance to get to know her, but Ethan gets the first shot. Then a quick fling with Tyler. Then the surprise visit of Lewis and Jake for shopping blows her mind. But how to handle it. Great HEA in the end.

We were introduced to The Ugly Duckling bar in Speed Date and Kayla was the owners daughter and chef at the bar. She spotted four hot men and instantly fell in lust with them. Ethan, Jake, Lewis and Tyler are all best friends and play for the Argonauts football team. Jake and Lewis were twin brothers and were into sharing their dates, but Tyler and Ethan had never crossed that line until all four of them fell in love with Kayla when they showed up as the celebrity attraction for The Dating Game charity event at the bar. When Kayla served them their food, it was love at first site. Together they worked to win her heart. One of them becomes her stepbrother but they still have their HEA.

I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and review with my honest and fair opinion.

[Alison · Rating 4 out of 5]

Kayla would love to have a man, but she is too busy been a head chef at one of her father's bars. She doesn't feel confident, but she is not willing to settle for a man out to use her. She captures the eye of four NFL players, when they are drawn into the bar for a competition. Will she end up with four men or just heartbreak? I liked this steamy romance, the men (Jake, Tyler, Lewis and Ethan) are very easy to like, and are very charming (some more serious, and others less serious with humour, a good variety of men). Kayla is easy to like, although sometimes a bit frustrating (getting a bit hot and cold about it).

I enjoyed this story with four football teammates falling for the same girl. Kayla works at her father's bar as the cook and sometimes server. She does not date or do anything but work and does not see the beauty that others see in her. The football players are smitten with Kayla as soon as they see her in the bar and she serves them food that she has just cooked. There is a lot of humor along with the romance. All of the characters have their own distinct personalities that fit together well and explain how they get along so well as a team and as best friends. The book is well written and addictive to read.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This book is all about the instant attraction between four friends and the same woman. It is full of humor, family, friendships, lust and love. The Ugly Duckling is hosting a game that will change everything for Kayla. Jake, Lewis, Ethan and Tyler never imagined that agreeing to the dating game would lead them to the love of their lives. They cannot deny that she has chemistry with each man. Each of them provide her with something different that she needs in her life. She becomes the center of their world. The book is well written with great characters. I really enjoyed reading it

When a head cook meets the guys of her dreams she never expects anything to come of it, especially since they are at her fathers bar for a publicity stunt.

It's a Dating Game knock off, with a date with a famous football player as the prize, and women from all over had entered the raffle to get to be the girl asking the questions and choosing one of the four. She hadn't even signed up for the raffle, only left the kitchen while the "show" was on and things were slow, she had already delivered snacks to the table of five guys and almost swallowed her tongue when she saw the handsomest guys ever. She had no idea that four of them had the same thoughts when they saw her, and that they intended to act on those thoughts.

Good

A good Stephanie Brother book. I like reading her books between two very captivating series. Their books are always steamy and romantic with a little twist. A recipe that works well and never disappoints you.
Here, the stoy tells about Kayla, an independent woman who is a chef, and four football stars. The guys attend a blind date event in one of Kayla's father restaurant, the one where she cooks. But as soon as the guys meet Kayla, they're quickly sure that she's something else, somebody they want to know and keep for themselves.
Will Kayla accept them? And what about when family gets involved into it? Well, read the book! 😉

[Mulan Book Princess · Rating 5 out of 5]

I rate this book 4.5 stars.

This was such a fun read. I loved how Kayla first met Ethan, Tyler, Jake and Lewis. It was such a novel idea! The chemistry between them was steamy hot and sizzling, and created some very hot moments. Add in a few twist and it will have you shaking your head. I really liked the interactions between Kayla and the guys, as well as the strong bond of friendship/family between the boys.

The things I like most about this book includes the writing style and the story line. I like that each character is well developed with a solid story of their own. I like that each guy gets his own individual story with Kayla along with the total story. I like Kayla's dad. I like that there is a lot going on, but the story is still easy to follow. I haven't read any of the other books in this series, but that did not hinder my enjoyment of this book.

This was a such a cute read. Kayla is torn between four men and doesn't know who to pick. The instant chemistry between all five of them will melt your Kindle. Jake and Lewis Rollins are twin brothers, Tyler Reed, and Ethan Paulson are all football players on the same NFL team. They are a close group of friends and just happen to fall for the same girl. I loved this book and it was a great addition to this series.

[Jenn · Rating 3 out of 5]

So the beginning of the book was a good start. But I truly failed to see how the title of the book matched it. Kayla wasnt going on any blind dates. So that was a bummer.

This book also felt extremely weird. Usually the guys all discuss (especially if they are friends) about pursuing the main female character. I did enjoy how she just felt right with her body.

Tyler is actually probably my favorite character that Stephanie has ever written.

The book itself was good but it had a few places where I saw some things that bothered me.

[Barb · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a great read! Kayla works in the kitchen at her dads bar and is pretty laid back. An event at the bar has her meeting four hot football players. They all are brothers and best friends who all set their sights on Kayla. Things get pretty heated up and a little complicated! Great characters and a very enjoyable read! Nice seeing some visiting characters from other stories! Highly recommend! Received arc and am voluntarily leaving an honest review

I really enjoyed this story. It was fun and steamy, two of my favorite characteristics of books and I really got drawn into the story line. I love reverse harems and this book definitely fit that bill. The characters were great, the story was well written, and it ended in a HEA, which I love. If you enjoy RH reads I would definitely check this one out!

Kayla's life is about to become more complicated than she dreamed. A down to earth, normal woman, her idea of a wild time would never have included 4 hot guys. But a crazy night at the pub, courtesy of a 1960's themed "blind date" introduces her to Ethan, Tyler, Jake and Lewis. Can she really be the one they are looking for? Will her passion for life be stretched to include new experiences?

Good read!

Another good read form Ms. Brother.
Four pro footballer find their misses right while participating in a dating game at a bar and it’s not the women playing the game to win a date with one of them. It’s the bar’s cook!

Not quite as steamy as the previous book in this series but still has steam and a good story.

Stephanie Brother is one of my go-to authors for menage and reverse harem stories. Her books are always well written, sexy, have great characters, and a love conquers all theme. This book is a fast read, entertaining and hard to put down until the end.
