Thirty gorgeous men. One chance to find love…but what if I can't choose?
When I’m chosen to star on the nation’s most popular reality dating show, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
Being selected to star on For Keeps is a dream come true. Beautiful clothes, luxurious locations, and men – lots and lots of men. Thirty, to be exact. And it’s my job to narrow thirty down to one. Easy, right?
Not when there are so many good men, and not when I start to fall in love with more than one of them.
After weeks packed with glamorous dates and unexpected drama, I eventually narrow the field down to my final four – four very different men whom I can’t bear to lose.
When I put my heart on the line at the start of this process, I could never have predicted this.
What happens if I refuse to choose just one man at the end?
FOUR Keeps is a full-length standalone mega menage/reverse harem romance with hot MMFMM action. No cliffhangers. No cheating. Happy ever after guaranteed.

She spends most of her day typing, drinking coffee, and interacting with readers.

Good story and some excellent characters from Stephanie in this date game book.
Will Olivia be able to find her soulmate? Will she be able to chose when she gets to decision time?
The main characters are wonderful with such different personalities, they have quite different pasts, and interact in passionate clinches with our Lady. Just as you’d desire from one of Ms Brother’s books.
The tension mounts as the story progresses and it reaches the perfect ending. Not quite as steamy as some of her past stories but still hot under the covers when the need arises.
I received an Arc copy of this book and chose to post this review
Four Keeps is the fourth book in the Four series and probably my favourite in this series. It is sexy, spicy, chemistry, menage a trois, a reverse harem. Unfortunately, it is not as good as her other books, but it is an enjoyable read for a change of pace if you don't want anything heavy to read.
If not for a challenge I’m doubtful I’d have given this book a chance. Aside from being an RH read there’s not much else about it that’s initially appealing to me but I really ended up enjoying this. Just like reality TV this book sucked me in and had me hooked. The witty banter between the characters was a fun addition as was seeing the antics the show would pull. The book also tackles that unfortunate side of television and the beliefs of others by not making Olivia choose. This was a very quick read and the pacing worked well for the story as the cast is followed for eight weeks. Olivia is smart in making sure those around her are there for the right reasons and it was nice that she had people on her side when everyone working for the show clearly only cared about the show and it’s ratings.
I’ve loved Stephanie’s Four series and this latest instalment doesn’t disappoint. Olivia is looking for love and she’s decided to do it on national TV! Taking part in the For Keeps dating show will give Olivia 30 chances at love. Follow her journey as she carefully gets to know, eliminates and falls for her men. There are some interesting plot twists and it keeps you guessing. The naughty stuff takes a while to get going, but once it does - WOW!!! A great addition to this series.
If you love the Bachelorette then this is the book for you. Lots of unexpected twists and Stephanie makes you wait for the heat, but once you get it it’s so worth it. I really enjoyed this.
Imagine going on a tv show with thirty men and your the only woman. Olivia does just that, after watching her favourite show ,she decides that maybe. That was her only away to maybe,hopefully find Mr Right. But there are a few snakes ,(sorry Fake) men in the mix too.As If it isn't hard enough already.Can she trust herself to not go for her usual 'bad boys'? Although this is still a reverse harem four book,it's great that Stephanie has stepped away a little from her usual story outline. But it still was thoroughly enjoyable.Good read.
Der Plot dieser Geschichte war überraschend für mich. Den Storyverlauf in dem von der Autorin gewählten TV-Serien-Setting a la Bachelorette konnte ich mir so überhaupt nicht vorstellen. Ich habe dann auch wirklich mehr als die erste Hälfte des Buches gebraucht, um mich in der Geschichte irgendwie zurechtzufinden, da mich die Flut an männlichen Charakteren, Namen und Aussehensbeschreibungen schlicht und ergreifend total überfordert hat. Es war wirklich schwer einen Zugang zu den männlichen Hauptcharakteren aufzubauen, denn auch wenn Caleb, Xander und Samuel sich für mich recht schnell etabliert haben, war ich mir bis zum Schluss unsicher, wer jetzt das vierte „Mitglied“ in der Gruppe sein würde. Am Ende war James dann auch der Charakter, der noch „ungreifbarer“ für mich war als die anderen und mit dem ich am wenigsten anfangen konnte. Olivia selbst war mir nicht unsympathisch und ich mochte ihre Art sich gegen die „Fieslinge“ in der Show durchzusetzen und sie bloßzustellen, aber Freundinnen-Vibes sind leider keine übergesprungen und ich konnte nicht so richtig mit ihr mitfiebern. Eigentlich wirklich schade um die Story, da die Autorin in diesem Buch die körperlichen Freuden endlich mal zu Gunsten des Plots hintangestellt hat und es erst relativ spät im Buch zur Sache gegangen ist. Hätte man hier 100 Seiten mehr angehängt und wäre bei den Charakteren mehr in die Tiefe gegangen, hätte die Story ein ganz anders Potential entwickeln können. Persönlich baue ich einfach gerne eine Verbindung zu den handelnden Charakteren auf, um richtig mitleben zu können, und das ist der Autorin hier leider nicht gelungen. Weder Olivia noch einer der Männer konnte mich auf irgendeine Art und Weise erreichen. Trotzdem gibt’s von mir 3 Sterne für eine solide Geschichte mit Plot.
I absolutely loved reading this book. Imagine going on a dating show and having to choose one man out of thirty. There is no way I could do that. But Olivia had been selected to be on the reality tv show For Keeps, she has to choose who to eliminate every week, finding the one who is interested in her and not fame from being on the show. Decisions are hard especially since she has feelings for the last four men, James, Samuel, Caleb and Xavier. Let’s say that they make the decision for her when they all four show up in her hotel room near the end of the show. Talk about hot! These characters really endeared themselves to me, I loved how the story developed and we were left wondering until the last few days of the show to realise what Olivia’s decision was going to be and I was not disappointed. Very well written by Stephanie Brother, I just love how you are pulled into the lives of the characters.
I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and review with my honest and fair opinion.
OMG!!! I did not see that coming yet in a way I knew it would happen in the plot. It was actually fun to read behind the scenes for that kinda of show and I understand it now. I didn't know who she would end by and I was surprised by couple of guys who were A**hole yet I wasn't surprised either. I knew some of the guys are probably there for a few episodes to get these started but I didn't realize how much. I also love how the two Brad got together and live each other. That was a really nice e surprise for sure. But I did have a feeling that Xavier, Samuel and Caleb was picked but I was shocked on James. I'm absolutely love how they protect her on the show and how they care about her. I love how they just wanted her to be happy no matter what. I love the ending as well... I can't wait to see who is next in this series... I also did laugh and cried

Olivia is castes on a wild game show where they have upped the ante. They have gone with 30 men instead of 25 per the usual. Well this isn’t any normal game show by far this is a dating game show with drama and lust to top the charts. Are you follow her on this crazy Journey you will have all the feels and horrors right along side her. But when it’s coming to a close she has been told to pick just 1 but there are 4 left and who will she pick and can she really bring herself to choose? Four keeps was fun and a wild ride that was enjoyable to read.
This was a very enjoyable story! Definitely a different storyline for me being as this was about a reality dating show and I really enjoyed it! The guys were awesome! Xavier and Caleb were my faves! Olivia definitely picked right! This book grabbed me from the beginning and it felt like I was right there! Stephanie did an amazing job with this one! I think this might be at the top of my faves! Awesome read with great characters and a lot of intrigue! I highly recommend! Received arc and am voluntarily leaving an honest review
Reading a new author is always a adventure. Will they write well? Will you like the characters? Will the story be reasonable? The trope not so in your face?
Glad to report this book is everything you might look for. I've never seen a romance based reality show, so i can't make comparisons. I can say that this book, this story, is realistic. The feelings and the negotiations match the ones I've experienced.
Am now going to spend my free time binging everything Stephanie Brother has written. Should be fun!
As usual for Stephanie's books, this grabs your attention very quickly and before you know it you're all in. Feet, hands and mind fully submerged within it pages and hoping RL doesn't require you to breathe any time soon.
I wouldn't watch a show on TV that is described in this book but I loved, loved, loved it. Congratulations Ms Brother.
I received a free copy and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
The inner workings of a Dating type TV game. WOW !!! Personally I don't watch these types of reality shows. And reading one was a workout for me, however, Stephanie Brothers writing is something I will always do. This book did not seem like her normal style of writing. Still worth the read. I cant get enough of the characters. The emotion that you can feel through each page. Love that makes your heart want to...re-read...over & over. This is an easy enjoyable read !
Each and every story in this series is absolutely wonderful! Olivia's journey into reality dating brings her more than she could have imagined. There are a few unexpected, and some expected twists that make this story really show the real in reality tv. This book is a slower burn than some of the others, but just as hot! Four Keeps is another excellent read!
Olivia decides to try TV to find her soul mate. By signing up and being chosen as the bachelorette on Four Keeps she gets 30 chances to find the one. This was an interesting story as we follow the journey Olivia takes to narrow down the 30 bachelor's to the one. Through many twists and turns, this journey keeps you guessing who will be in her final group, and what will happen when she realizes she has feelings and wants to keep more than one of the guys in the end.
Stephanie has done it again! I love the four series. Fantastic characters some that have had small roles in some of the other books in this series. Great world building. We as readers are drawn into the story. Steamy love scenes, friendships, and lovers. Follow Olivia and her forever journey in Four Keeps!!! Check out Stephanie Brothers other books you will not be disappointed!
Ok. This story was good but it was not as sexy as the previous ones. I like the whole Bachelorette theme but honestly, Olivia's story wasn't that great to me. I had such a hard time remembering all the guys names and who did what etc. I did enjoy the guessing part (I didn't read the blurb) so see who her four would be so that kept me going. I did enjoy it, just not as much as the others. And if you're looking for extreme steamy scenes, it's not this one.
Audible: I listen to romance novels when I have insomnia and can't fall asleep at night. The narrator attempts many male voices in this novel and some of them were simply awful. One MMC, Xavier, was cringe-worthy- a serious bummer
I've read, and listened to, quite a few Stephanie Brother RH romances and this was my least favorite. It's a very slow burn with a lot of indecisiveness. That's just not my idea of a good bedtime story.
I’m ngl…. I picked this one up for the spice and the fact that its plot was basically the Bachelorette. I wanted a spicy reality TV book for whatever reason.
Judging the book by its cover didn’t work in my favor this time. It wasn’t spicy until 87% in. And don’t get me wrong, the story was fine but it wasn’t giving what I needed it to. I feel like there was a good opportunity to sprinkle in some good spice throughout but instead it was pushed until the end and then went into overdrive.
What a fun story. Behind the scenes of a reality show like that, such a different perspective. Bianca showing up was cool even tho she wasnt involved much, you didnt hear anything from her guys either. Were they at the final ceremony?? They said Bianca was ......... love the bowtie that was thrown in.
Such a fantastic storyline that keeps you completely intrigued and fascinated. Loved the dodgy guys and spies that were on the inside. Tonnes of sexual tension and a few steamy scenes..oh and 30 hot AF guys. Such a perfect book, I honestly couldn’t put it down. Overall a unique book, totally loved it!
Olivia has started a journey to find love and what a journey it is!! Signing up to a version of the bachelorette tv show, she narrows down her choices to four amazing and different men. This story is so sweet, filled with action and so much passion! My favorite, by far!!
I was hesitant about this one, but it was so worth it. I should have known not to bet again Stephanie when it comes to RHs lol. Olivia gets accepted on a "Bachelorette" type dating show. I strongly suggest not looking for the names of the men before reading. It was very entertaining to figure who was genuine and who were secret a$$hats.
So hard to pick out of 30guys. But the heroine can't chose between last 4. Caleb, James, Xavier. Samuel , her loves, all qualities align with heroine. Reminded me oh bachelorette show.
I am so ecstatic that I continued on reading books by Stephanie! I was pretty well already hooked after reading another book of hers! She has amazing talent and I'm looking forward to reading more of her books!!!
This was such a clever story!! I absolutely had no idea how it would end. There were a lot of ups and downs. But in the end, everything worked out perfectly!!!
This book gives an inside look at what happens off screen on a love-finding TV show. Since we know sometimes they don’t get the happily after in reality, I love how this HEA comes together. Enjoy
I love how Olivia’s story was like the Bachelorette in real life!!!! I’m so sure that the behind the scenes is just like it was in the book too!!!! I’m so glad she was able to choose all four of them!!!!!
Took me a minute to get into it, but OH boy was it worth it. This one did not grab me because they were not siblings. I have a thing for sibs...keep it clean people. LOL. Great reverse polyamorous harem.
