Seven bodyguards are hired to keep me safe, but I want so much more than their protection.
It's my first world tour, and my record company is nervous. They've crafted my innocent image so they shouldn't be surprised at the dangers I'm facing. Stalkers are like magnets to girls like me.
When Steel Security is employed to safeguard my trip, I expect my bodyguards to be middle-aged ex-cops with donut-bellies.
My seven bodyguards couldn't be more different.
Connor, Elijah, Ben, Asher, Jax, Hudson, and Mo are huge, powerful ex-military men with bodies made to protect and an impeccably rigorous attitude to my safety. With nerves of steel, their eyes are watchful, and their attitudes are professional, but I can't help noticing how their gazes linger on my body and I can't help feeling the electricity between us whenever we're together.
They're a team of specialists, hired to protect me. They know better than to fall for someone they're supposed to keep safe. But with every glance, every accidental touch, every word, I can feel their steely exteriors melting away.
They're with me through the lonely days and long nights on the road. I can't hide beneath my well-crafted veneer when they're with me twenty-four hours a day. Slowly, they make me feel like nothing can ever touch me apart from them.
I know it's risky. If the press discovers our secret, my image will shatter, and their careers will be over, but their magnetic pull is too strong to resist
But how can they protect me when the connection between us is the very thing that puts me in danger?

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
💋💋💋

Brilliant R/H romance, set worldwide with a beautiful pop Princess and 7 gorgeous bodyguards.

A great story that’s full of tense energy in and out of the bedroom.
When a fiend threatens the life of the lady the guys are protecting, their instincts go into overdrive so does their passion.
This is well written and entertaining from Stephanie and so full of chemistry and emotional moments.
Don’t miss out on reading this one.
It doesn’t disappoint.

🎧 Audiobook Review: Steel 7 by Stephanie Brother

A reverse-harem romance featuring seven ex-military bodyguards and a rising pop star navigating fame, danger, and desire.

🧍🏻‍♀️ The Heroine: Luna

Luna, a 21-year-old singer on her first world tour, is marketed more for her beauty and innocence than her undeniable talent. That spotlight comes with a dark side—unwanted attention and a stalker threat that prompts her record label to hire Steel 7 Security.

Her backstory is raw and emotionally charged: raised in a fractured home with an absent father and a mother battling addiction, Luna was cared for by her older brother Tyler while in foster care. The tragic death of her younger brother Jake created a rift between Luna and Tyler, though they’ve recently reconciled. Luna’s longing for love and stability is palpable, making her emotional journey all the more compelling.

🧍🏽 The Heroes: Connor, Elijah, Ben, Asher, Jax, Hudson, and Mo

Steel 7 is a private security firm run by seven ex-military men, each with a distinct personality and emotional depth. Despite the large cast, each character is surprisingly well-developed:

• Connor – The meticulous leader of Steel 7, scarred by a traumatic childhood. He’s the one who liaises with Luna’s record label and keeps the team grounded.
• Elijah – With messy curls and a past steeped in religion, Elijah finds purpose in protecting Luna and values the judgment-free camaraderie of his team.
• Ben – A war injury left him with a prosthetic leg, but it hasn’t slowed him down. His vulnerability lies in believing Luna wouldn’t want someone “incomplete.”
• Asher – A quiet artist with movie-star looks and a shy demeanor. He’s perceptive and emotionally attuned, often sketching scenes and people with ease.
• Jax – The joker of the group, shaped by a mix of good and bad foster homes. He’s open-minded and curious about Luna’s views on polyamory, given her brother’s relationship dynamic.
• Hudson – The tallest of the crew, haunted by the loss of his twin brother Hartley. His grief is etched into his skin with a commemorative tattoo.
• Mo – Mysterious and intense, Mo speaks English as a second language and carries the weight of hardship despite a loving upbringing.


📖 Plot Snapshot

The tour kicks off in Berlin, where Luna receives a chilling message from her stalker. While Steel 7 makes protection look effortless, the reality is far more intense—constant surveillance, crowd scanning, and hotel sweeps for hidden devices. Fame, it turns out, comes at a steep price.

As Luna overhears a conversation between Jax and Hudson about their attraction to her, she begins to reevaluate her desires. She’s drawn to the idea of being cherished and loved—something she’s never truly had. This emotional pivot sets the stage for her evolving relationship with the seven men guarding her.

👍 What Worked

• Luna’s arc began in Deep 6, where her brother Tyler was a central figure. His polyamorous relationship with Sandy and five friends makes Luna’s own romantic journey feel thematically consistent.
• The character development is impressive given the size of the cast—each man has a distinct voice and emotional texture.
• The rockstar romance trope is flipped: Luna is the star, not the men. It’s refreshing to see a female lead in the spotlight.
• Stephanie Brother delivers her signature blend of drama and steam, with just the right amount of emotional tension to keep things grounded.

👎 What Fell Short

• Luna’s complaints about fame felt grating. While her frustrations are understandable, the narrative doesn’t fully explore the nuance of her situation. Fame isn’t always a choice—it’s often a consequence of ambition and talent.
• Her decision to seduce all seven men as a way to numb her pain felt emotionally hollow. The story acknowledges the temporary nature of this coping mechanism, but it could’ve delved deeper into her emotional reckoning.

🎙️ Narration Highlights

Told through multiple POVs, the audiobook features dual narration by Aaron Shedlock and Melanie Hastings.

Aaron Shedlock brings a sexy, age-appropriate voice to the male characters. While his vocal differentiation isn’t perfect, his natural delivery and emotional resonance make up for it.
Melanie Hastings has a soft, youthful tone that suits Luna perfectly. Her narration captures Luna’s vulnerability and strength with finesse.

Wow, seven hot bodyguards!!!

Luna is just trying to get through her international tour without becoming a victim to her stalker. Her super hot, ex-military bodyguards are taking their job very seriously and Luna is beginning to feel like a prisoner. Luna decides that since she has noticed all of her bodyguards looking at her with interest, that she is going to tempt them to make a move and maybe it will help clear her mind. Will this become something more than just convenient s*x? Or when things get tough will they go their separate ways? This is a great read and I highly recommend it!

Stephanie Brother does it again!🥰❤

I'm a big fan of Stephanie's books! Steel 7 was actually really sweet considering there was a stalker after Luna, requiring her to need 7 hunky bodyguards to protect her and keep her safe. I would recommend ANY of Stephanie's books and can't wait to read Inked 8 the next installment in this series!!!

Manifest your future...

This is another hit by Stephanie Brother! She always delivers an exceptional book. I loved reading about Luna and her men. Loved reading about her struggles and theirs as well. Loved the club at the end. Maybe we can get some chapters of just their conversations hahaha.

I'm so happy that Luna was able to move forward in life after all the darkness from her past. It was nice to read about her finally getting that

I am already a fan of Stephanie Brothers books and this newest one did not disappoint. A sexy pop star & her 7 bodyguards on a trip across the world - keeping her safe from harm & dialing up the heat. I really enjoyed the dynamic of Luna and her men, & I especially loved the different range of men that surrounded her. Especially Ben! I highly recommend giving this book a read! I laughed, I bit my lip, & the 🔥🔥🔥. Stephanie knocks another one out of the park.

loved this one!

This was a fantastic book that kept me hooked the whole way through! Her men had me worried there a bit that they were just giving up on her but i knew there was no way they were going to be able to stay away from her! I’m glad things also worked out with her other bodyguards too!

"The Bodyguard" but reverse harem and instead of one Kevin Costner there's 7 smoking hot and fiercely protective bodyguards and waayy more smut.
I loved Luna the fmc and her men Connor, Mo, Jax, Asher, Elijah, Ben and Hudson, I usually have a favorite but I really loved all the guys equally.
This was my first book by this author and it will definitely not be my last.

I generously received an arc from the author in exchange for an honest review

Okay so this is a bodyguard Romance where the female main character is a sort of a pop star I think and is protected by 7 men. The tropes in this book are:
▪︎ bodyguard reverse harem
▪︎ protectors/ saviors
▪︎ stalker terrorising the fmc

There is another trope but if you dont want to be spoiled and know what it is, don't continue on reading the review.(its in the last paragraph)

I usually can tolerate a ridiculous plot when the book is Romance and smut oriented, but side from the poorly executed plot in this book, there were times when I found the events of the book boring and I couldn't care for these events, I liked the characters but I just found the events not very well done.

Unlike the first book that I read of the author this book had multiple povs, following different characters which was a good addition but then I couldn't see the chemistry or feel it from the female point of view nor the males point of view so on this front, I think the book was lacking.

Another thing that annoyed me in this book is the surprise pregnancy trope. Not only I wasn't expecting it, but it felt way too convenient to add at that specific point in the story, for me it ruined the reading experience of this book. The writing style is good I had no problem with it and I also kind of liked the smut but that was it there isn't anything special about this book and that is that.

Luna got her big break and is singing and rocking stadiums. She’s being stalked and harassed so her record company hires Steel 7. Connor, Elijah,Ben, Asher, Jax, Hudson, and Mo are her bodyguards and are very sexy. They all try to stay professional but the sexual tension is just too much. The feeling are growling but how can this work with all seven and her being a rising star. Great characters and storyline Highly recommended Amazing Book. This book gives you characters you love, sweet sexy times , and suspense

What can I say about Steel 7?

It has all the things I love...

A strong heroine who's not afraid to get what she wants, but is maybe a little afraid of needing it.
Seven gorgeous bodyguards, desperate to keep the heroine safe.
Worldwide locations.
Reverse harem romance.
Spicy-spicy times (multiplied by 7!)
Characters from the other Multiple Love books popping in for some fun.
A happy ever after ending that will fill you with satisfaction.

This story was fantastic to read. Luna seems to be following in her brother Tyler’s footsteps in her relationship with her seven men Connor, Elijah, Ben, Asher, Jax, Hudson, and Mo. When she finds out that she has a stalker, her record company hires seven bodyguards to protect her. While travelling in Europe for her world tour, Luna is tired of being lonely, even though she is surrounded by people every moment of her day. What starts as a portrait on a couch in her room, Luna manages to entice Asher into showing her the attention she has been craving for. This is the start of a wonderful relationship filled with lots of passion, but also with the danger getting more intense. There is a perp arrested and their lives lead to a happily ever after, with a hint towards the next book in this series. I can’t wait.

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

I really enjoyed this reverse harem story. It dealt with Luna, who was a superstar and her bodyguards, seven older men who were in charge with keeping her safe. All the men were different and had different personalities and I loved that fact so each interaction felt different. I also appreciated how their was one bodyguard with a disability who felt a little like her wasn't good enough and Luna made him feel better regardless of that fact. The story was very steamy and I really enjoyed the mystery of who was stalking Lunam and leaving her horrible gifts. I added to the excitement and adventure of the story. This is the first story that I have read in the 'Multiple Love' series and now I will definitely have to check out the others as well. Can't wait to read more stories like this! I received a review copy of this story and am leaving a voluntary honest review.

I have been waiting on this book since the sneak peek upon the release of Deep 6. It was so worth the agonizing wait. It checks off so many fantasies, the story is well developed and the characters varied in personality. I especially appreciated the middle-eastern lover, the brief look into his thoughts and the way his culture affected his views and how he was perceived because of his ethnicity. Luna's fame wasn't hyped up or sugar coated, Stephanie Brother used Luna's fame and the grueling work that goes into being a professional in the spotlight as a tool to further the story and the connection between characters. Multiple Love is absolutely my favorite series by Stephanie Brother, and I don't know how I'll live until March for Inked 8. Steel 7 was steamy physical and emotional goodness.

Steel 7 is a bodyguard/client romance. It also a reverse harem. Luna is going on tour with her seven bodyguards. Because she has a crazy stalker who seems to follow her on tour. Now that her record company has hired Conner, Ben, Elijah, Jax, Hudson, Mo, and Asher. But as the tour continues each guys falls for Luna and Luna falls for the guys. But when their secret comes out and the guys get replace but they don’t leave the country because they couldn’t bear leave her. Then when Luna gets sick.. And they found out why. Oh boy!!! The journey with group is incredible and their ending is fantastic. Like with all of Stephanie book the scenes are intense and wonderful. The characters are are remarkable. I can’t wait to read Kayla story next.

I just felt like 7 men was a bit too much for a RH. The guys just kind of fell flat since character development for so many was just impossible I guess?

I received this book as an ARC in return for an honest review. Luna is an up and coming pop star when the Steel 7 company is hired to be her bodyguards on her first international tour. Quickly the 7 discover their attraction to Luna but are hesitant to blur the lines. Needless to say, Luna pushes their boundaries and sparks fly! I love the thriller/mystery component of the story line. It is not overtaking but snags you as a reader. This was a shorter, quicker read but with that comes less character development in all 7 of the men. If I could wish for anything more in this book, it would be length to delve into the character of each man to get to know them better as they have the beginnings of some really wonderful personalities that I would have loved to see more!

I received this book in advance for a voluntary honest review. Loved it!! I couldn’t put this book down! Luna is a new, young pop star that is starting her first world tour and she’s been assigned 7 gorgeous bodyguards: Connor, Jax, Hudson, Elijah, Ben, Mo and Asher. Holy moly this is one very lucky girl! All 7 bodyguards are attracted to her, but mixing business with pleasure is a rule they shouldn’t break. Unable to resist temptation and Luna’s seduction, her bodyguards become her lovers and oh, do they love her. Steel 7 will protect her from her stalker, but who will protect her heart when this convenient arrangement becomes so much more?

Stephanie Brother drew me in once again. The story, character development and the spice work so well in this book that I couldn’t put it down. Stephanie did amazing job dividing attention between the 7 men and making each one stand out in there own. Luna was amazing in my book, she owned who she was and wearer with confidence. This book was everything I wanted it be, it was light and easy read. I would recommend this book 100%. The story was amazing and the reverse harem was written so well that you wouldn’t be able to put it down.

Another great addition to the multiple love series.
A Heroine that grew on me. Wasn’t her biggest fan in the beginning. But as the story progresses you understand why she is that way.
7 Heroes who are all so different. I love a strong silent type, but when there’s a mix of that along with a vulnerability in some of them too… just makes my heart happy.
This had such a great storyline. And a slight insight into the world of the stars.

LOVED that ending 😍

I love Stephanie’s RH books I usually listen to her audiobooks. Luna Evans has gone from rags to riches when she’s discovered singing on a street corner but she’s not happy has her record company as they put huge restrictions on her even telling her what to eat and wear. She attracted some psychos and has a team of 7 bodyguards led by Connor they try to keep her safe but her stalker seems to still be getting through to her. Luna knows what she wants and when she sets her sight on her 7 bodyguards they are to enamoured with her to resist and who can resist 7UP 😈

This was such a fantastic story! Seven hot strong bodyguards to protect a new singer from a stalker. Luna joins the club in this epic reverse harem series! Stephanie really comes up with some amazingly sweet, caring, independent, and strong characters for her stories! You get sucked in from the beginning and just can’t put the book down! A very well written and entertaining read that I highly recommend! Next up is one of my favorites…bring on the tattoos!! Received arc and am voluntarily leaving an honest review

This is the 5th book in Multiple love series by Stephanie Brothers. I have enjoyed all of the books in this series but I found this one to be particularly interesting due to the variety in the male characters. Too often in reverse harem books the men are not fleshed out as individuals whereas in this book each of the men's personalities are fully established. I also liked that although the men were strong, they were not dominating.

I am looking forward to the next book!

Stephanie Brother does it again. This book had it all. FMC who Grew into a Strong person with the help and Support of her 7 men. The 7 Men all brought something different to the relationship and all had different reasons for you to fall in love with them. My only complaint about this book was I wish it was longer. I wanted their story to continue even more!! Cant wait for the next book in this series!!!

Dreams come true

Luna was singing on street, til she got discovered, by record company, is protected by 7 handsome ex military men . Singing is Libya's passion. Her security detail, protecting her from a stalker, turns out a crew member.He has attempted several incidents, in scaring her . Luna is attracted to the 7 men, eventually, they get involved, pregnancy happens. Men are replaced by some other security detail.

Steel 7

Review::
2 ⭐️
3.5 🌶
I am not sure what to say about this book to be honest. None of the characters with connect in for the fact that it is 350 pages I should’ve killed some sort of connection with at least one of the seven males.
I didn’t care about any of them the stalker thing was so laughable it was never suspenseful or meaningful and I was so unsatisfied with the amount of mean bullying that was happening and no one stood up for themselves or each other.
Uggghh. Gross.

Thoughts wile reading: light spoilers::

Guys names (because there are SEVEN)
Connor- leader, green eyes, brown hair
Elijah- messy brown curls
Jax- perfectly crooked nose
Hudson- tall
Asher- blond hair
Ben- prosthetic leg
Mo- obsidian eyes, mysterious
::
I’m a fan of the multiple POV.
Getting Connors straight away.
Really hoping this isn’t 200 pages of push away because the whole
We’re working for you—thing.
Hmmmmm. So far. So bored.
Hoping for something fun.
Hmmmmm. Now we’re getting yelled at on all sides.
Does the industry really abuse the talent this way ?! I mean. What’s the point for either side ?!
So I liked the whole bringing Germany into the hotel room because she can’t leave but then she can leave and go to Athens so I’m slightly confused on what she canning can’t do however I do like the restaurant scene. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Not a fan of the secret nighttime trist or the getting caught. I dont know.
Oh boy. We’re 152 pages in and so far nothing has happened besides one “mistake” and A LOT of “we can’t do this!” Conversations. 🙄
Oh. And maybe a stalker situation that’s also like. Not very exciting or important. So. 🤷🏻‍♀️
And the spice has been poooooor.
Hmmmmmm. Ookkaaaayyyy.
1 to 7. Let’s go !
This feels a little forced. Maybe because they have never done this so it’s new for everyone but it’s. 🤷🏻‍♀️ i dont know.
Like a little train. 🙄 😆
Huh. I dont know. It was ok. 4 on the spice scale in THEORY but in actual visually it’s more like a 3.
She kinda going from 0 to 1000 here.
Wait. So. Did he kill some other girl or what a knife IN the box ?!
This author clearly doesn’t write suspense (which is 100% ok- but this book feels like it’s TRYING to have some and failing)
8 cities skipped. So. That’s a time jump of what ?!
24 days ?????
😂🤣 “there’s this one guy called ____” that’s TOTALLY THE STALKER 😂🤣
Whew.
So. They gone.
She’s getting bullied and letting it happen.
HATE A PUSHOVER FMC. Like. Yo. Wtf.
And now it’s a separation for 120 pages oorrrr ?????
And now she has ex’s as stalkers 😆
Seriously.
This book needs a LOT of people smacked in the face and I REALLY feel like I’m not going to be satisfied.
Ope. Hospital round what?? 3 ????
Wait. WHAT ???????
Ugghhhhhh. Is NO ONE going to get talked to about there HORRIBLE treatment ??
So. Much. Talking. To. Eachother.
Ummmmmmmmmm. The stalker thing was either REALLY fixed waayyyy too fast or it’s 1/2 of an issue
No way !!
THAT WAS IT????
Now it’s the ending and NO ONE. NOT ONE SINGLE PERSON was told off ??
Wow.
Horrible
