Room Two: Love is Blind[folded]

Club Sin #2

by Barbra Campbell

When the stress of my job as a 911 operator takes its toll, I'm not just desperate to unwind, I need some serious TLC. I want to throw caution to the wind and trust that everything will be okay.
So when a wickedly attractive man who’s been watching me from across the bar makes an offer that promises to give me exactly what I want, I can’t refuse.
The elite club he invites me to provides the safety to relinquish my body to pleasure, and not just from him.
But not everyone who enters the club has the same intentions and the men who truly cherish me will have to protect my blind faith, or they may lose me forever.

About the author

Barbra Campbell writes dirty-sweet romance because she gets a kick out of helping couples overcome problems as they fall in love, even if it’s her fault they have problems in the first place.
After pursuing degrees in Genetics for nearly a decade, she realized the ‘chemistry’ of romance was a lot more fun to write about than the biochemistry of how our bodies work. She shared her stories with the world, was a finalist in a bunch of romance contests, and traded her lab coat for a laptop.
All of this was done with her college sweetheart by her side. He helps her pursue the HEA on a daily basis, even when she has her mind on sexy book boyfriends and cover models.
When Barbra’s not writing, she’s likely to be taking a walk, petting one or more of her many animals, or playing the cello! Visit BarbraCampbell.com for more.

Petting the Tabby

4.5 stars - Out of the gate, we learn three things about Tabitha:

- She is dealing with a chronic illness, chronic fatigue;
- She seems to have a stalker; and
- She has a couple of fantastic friends, Valerie and Monica.

I liked Tabitha but felt for her as she far exceeded the time to earn her v-card back.

Then we meet Jeff. I instantly liked him. He sees what he wants and goes for it. For as assured as he is, he's also nervous which is endearing. He also has a couple of fantastic friends, or brothers as he calls them, Bruce and Malachi. They just happen to have a different kind of friendship.

You can take the gentleman out of the fancy club but you can’t take the gentleman out of the man. -- Tabitha

Are you sure about that, Tabitha? 😉

“You wore the perfect skirt. Mind if I slip my hand under here and make my sweet Tabby purr?” -- Jeff

Jeff may put her too high on a pedestal but I really enjoyed how the story played out. Blindfold and all. 🔥🙈🍆🐱🔥💙🎉

This is my first novella from this author. I will be looking to read more soon. Maybe Valerie's and Monica's stories. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

Ok read. The author kept changing the name of one of the guys from Bruce to Bear even in the same paragraph.

This is my first jaunt into the room series. This story resonated so much due to the main female character suffering from a chronic and debilitating illness. Her thought processes are familiar to me and probably to anyone dealing with a chronic illness. Thinking no one would be interested in a relationship with someone broken.

The insta live the main male characters felt was cute to see. The caring and love was sweet even while the romps were pure sizzling heat.

I believe this was my first book by Barbra Campbell so my next stop is to look up her books on Goodreads.

I have preordered 12 Daddies of Christmas so I am sure to read Tabitha’s two best friends stories as well. I also loved how the author portrayed the best friends who supported Tabs throughout without making her feel like a burden. I am lucky to have that as well.

Home run!

I've been following Barbara's books for about a year. As most people who do know this is her first reverse harem! I love the story like around the sexy bits, really enjoy that the heroine has physical limitations but her guys don't bat an eye, and of course who doesn't like the forbidden multiple men? Definitely recommend!

'Room Two' by Barbra Campbell is the second book in the multi-author Club Sin series and tells the story of Tabitha, Jeff, Bruce, and Malachi. Tabitha works as a 911 operator with her best friend, Valerie. She also suffers from chronic fatigue and has to take things easy. Valerie talks her into going out one night and Tabitha meets Jeff. They are both attracted to each other but Tabitha is unsure due to her illness.

Jeff thinks that Tabitha is the perfect girl for him and his two brothers. Jeff, Bruce, and Malachi all served in the Marines and started a security company when they left the Corps. They have been looking for the perfect woman for the three of them to share and Jeff thinks he has finally found her. Now he just needs to introduce Tabby to the idea.

Ms. Campbell has written an intriguing addition to the series. The chemistry between Jeff and Tabitha is combustible. I like how Tabitha decided to take a chance and meet Bruce and Malachi. This story has a lot of depth for being a short read. There are twists, a stalker, laughs, surprises, and plenty of heat. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more in the series. Put this on your TBR list!

Tabittha is a 911 operator who has a chronic illness/fatigue and constantly has to take things easy. Together with her best friend, Valerie, they go to a bar/club where she met Jeff and things started to turn hot with them. But Jeff has other intention, he wanted to make her not only his but also share her with his two buddies, Bruce and Malachi, into a foursome relationship. He even said before that she's their missing piece, their pussy cat, and he was that sure that she'll be theirs. But she's unsure and reclutant to be with them, especially because of her illness and the stalker who's after her. But they never give up and protected her everyday until they caught the stalker and keep her safe in their house where she started to warm up and agreed to be with them.

This is the second book of the Club Sin Series. But unlike the first book, I didn't enjoy it that much. I felt that there was something missing... Or maybe because the relationship within them didn't bloom that much and happened too fast. But the hot scenes are good and detailed too.

[Sam&Dean · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ménage is a personal favorite especially when it’s smoking hot. This was just ok for me. The heroine didn’t bat an eye at the prospect of multiple partners and even went so far as to ask NOT to see her new boyfriends friends before, during or after sex and chose to remain blindfolded. Um, who would do that? It wasn’t supposed to be a hookup, but a start of a possible relationship & you don’t want to even see them before you jump into bed? Possible, but yet a little weird for me. I also hate miscommunication/ secrets/ bad communication. She pushed the guys away in the first half of the book because she thought it was unfair/ too much to ask them to deal with her chronic fatigue. She spends the second half of the book pushing the guys away because she’s being stalked and it’s scaring her. She decides it’s best NOT to tell her new boyfriends who are ex-military & current security dudes because …? The sex wasn’t great for a ménage…one guy at a time rotating turns really does sound exhausting, lol. And not very “ménagey”.

WOW, just wow. I worried after book one in the club sin series (written by the amazing Penelope Wylde) that nothing could match that short but HOT book.

And initially I took a while to come around to this one... but half way through I was completely involved, and couldn't put it down - thus had a row with most of my family so they left me alone, and I could read it all muhahahahaha.

Interesting to read about a MFC with disabilities - chronic fatigue - still finding her HEA with a reverse harem or men who adore her, but well written, showing a good udnerstanding of the condition and how it affects not only day o day life but your mental health and self confidence and self esteem too (if not more). Despite her worries, these men worship her, and introduce her to heights I am sure aren't 100% realistic lol, but why read realism when you can have glorious smutty naughtiness x3? Brilliant book, now ont he look out for more of BarBra Campbell's work - might have spent this afternoon reading another of hers ;)

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. Room Two in the Club Sin series is about Tabitha and her men. I thought that she was portrayed closer to a normal person than a lot of books. Her diagnosis of chronic fatigue was new for me. It is not something her men were going to save her from, cure her of or be able to do anything but support and care for her. Jeff meets her first in an exclusive club and knows that she is the one they have been waiting for. He works to convince her to come to Club Sin and meet his best friends Malachi and Bruce. They become just as enamored with her as Jeff. She developed a stalker that they work to put a stop to. This book has a lot of steam between Tabitha and her men but there was a good story to go with it. My only complaint was that I wished it could have been longer.

I loved how domestic Tabitha's guys were for her! That's so sweet that they can go from dominant in the sheets to domestic on the streets. I loved how they took care of her too, that they were willing to adapt to her needs and disability.

And Matt....what a creep. I'd have loved tonsee that situation develop a bit more before the climax (pun totally intended) but I'm glad he's going to get everything he deserves. It's too bad what happened to him, but that's no excuse for what he did.

The characters in Room Two were so well written. However, I don't feel like I got a very good grasp of Malachi or Monica. There wasn't really a whole lot of interaction with Monica so she felt a bit like a last minute add-in. I didn't really get to know Malachi as much as Jeff and even Bruce. It doesn't seem like I got a good picture of who he is and what drives him. I wish that I could've learned more about him and had him interact with Tabitha a little more.

Too tame - read on KU

This series is labeled Club Sin and that is becoming a misnomer. Obviously, there are 3 guys involved but they don't do anything in the club they couldn't do in their own bedroom. The room they use at the club is just a bedroom. They don't even use toys. If all you are after is a RH novella, you'll be happy but if you want more sizzle, you will be disappointed. She doesn't even meet two of the guys until the 50% mark on the dot. And then, she is blindfolded. I don't think she lays eyes on them until around 70%. They only have sex twice. The first book was the same in that and the use of the club was a waste of money there, too. This book doesn't even have much chemistry.

Too much of this book is spent on her stalker. Book 1 also has a stalker. If this continues, I think the series should be labeled girls of RHs get stalked.

Love A Blindfold

This story is ok but it has a kinda limited storyline with only one of the guys Jeff's viewpoint and he gets lots of time in the story. The other two guys are almost like after thoughts in the story, which for me was disappointing, I like to get all the guys in a reverse harem viewpoint and the lady too. The side plot of a stalker was kinda ... It just felt or read like an uncomfortable add-on. The guys seemed to be confused if they were rich or running a security company and exmilitary... Except it doesn't seem like the are exactly comfortable in the security company either... The whole protecting widows of military men sorta felt weird... But ok guess that was their reason to do security.... Except it then sounded like they protected rich men too... I guess I got a bit put off by these minor contradictions.

Barbra Campbell's Room Two is the second book of the new, fabulous Club Sin series of steamy reverse harem romances. Tabitha is a 9-1-1 Dispatcher with chronic fatigue and a stalker. When her best friend Valerie convinces her to accompany her for a night out a club, she grudgingly agrees only to meet the hot, alpha Jeff. Jeff is instantly enamoured with Tabby and knows that she is meant to be his - and his best friends' and brothers-in-arms', Bruce and Malachi. Will one night with the three of them in Room Two of the exclusive members-only Club Sin convince Tabitha that she deserves to be thoroughly loved and protected? A fabulously entertaining, swoon-y and super harem reverse harem romance!

Loved, Loved, loved this story. I think woman should all have 3 men as sexy, and caring. Jeff just knows that when he sees Tabitha that she's the one the guys have been waiting for. Jeff, Bruce, and Malachi are brothers by choice and share everything. Tabby can't function well because of her illness of being tired all the time. They also find out that she has a stalker after her and they will protect what's theirs. The chemistry between the four of them is hot and sticky but they each want what's best for all of them. The guys have everything set up and who does what. Tabby just have to love them as they love her. I can't wait to read the next story in this series.

Great read!

Professional level writing and storytelling.
Female lead not only had a solid consistent personality, it was a fun, entertaining solid consistent personality.
First male lead she meets was an absolute doll!
The other two male leads were also compelling and engaging.
Relationship-building between the female lead and first male lead she meets was charming (wish there had been room for more on-page relationship-building between her and the other two as everyone was so likable; no self-centered aholes here!).
Smut was well-done and very sensual.

Loved the epilogue (third last paragraph made me laugh out loud)!

Definitely recommend and I am going to look up other books by this author.

A very well written reverse romance and Book 2 in The Club Sin Book Series has a very unique story with well constructed characters. These characters have unique histories, personalities and believable interactions. I enjoyed this story and how it tells of a woman trying to deal with Chronic Fatigue. This Reverse Harem Romance was a unique and interesting story with intense, engaging and sexy characters. This story just keeps you engaged until the last page. This book has many twists, turns, action, adventure, and a HEA. This is a must read book for those love Reverse Harem Book.

This is not my normal trope, but most of the authors doing this series, Club Sin, are the ones I actively read. I did enjoy the story, Tabby, a 911 operator with a frequent caller who is stressing her out, agrees to go out with a friend. She meets a guy at the bar and agrees to go out with him.

He brings of the subject of his other two friends and how they share everything and they think she is the one they are looking for.

This was a very hot read, Tabby needed what these men were offering.

Tabby is a 911 operator and is being stalked but not sure by whom. Tabby has chronic fatigue syndrome and doesn’t usually date or go out. Her friend as convinced her to have a night out. This is where she meets Jeff and so begins her journey with Jeff, Malachi and Bruce. A heartfelt read that gave some understanding to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. The guys had an immediate connection to Tabby but were gentle and caring, only wanting to take care of her. My first book from this series. I received an arc copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

4.5 Stars
Tabby and her three men were awesome. I loved the connection and chemistry between Tabby and Jeff first and then the blind connection and chemistry between her and Bruce and Malachi. There is suspense, love, devotion, obsession, longing, and a wonderful HEA. I really enjoyed this book and I can't wait to read the rest of the series. I would recommend this book and Ms. Barbara as a great author.

Deliciously hot

The second room is just about as hot as room numer one. Im just loving thes books so far and Barbra has done an excellent job with this story. The mystery of who her stalker may be and even though she think may of seen him its his voice that she can identify. When her three men, Jeff, Malachi and Bear get her in the room she feels safe protected by them. But can they protect her from her stalker?

A must read if you just love reverse harems

I received this as an arc for my honest review

This was a really great and totally steamy reverse harem romance. This is not a trope that I normally seek out but I definitely enjoyed this one. I liked the storyline with the stalker it made for an interesting story and then the budding romance between Tabby and her men were the glue that held the story together. I loved it.

[Michele · Rating 3 out of 5]

An intriguing storyline of finding the perfect woman to be the fourth in their foursome. An instant attraction that is tentatively dependent upon each one connecting, only to have a wrench thrown in their plans when someone comes after the woman they all care to keep as theirs.

Room Two at Club Sin

Hot and steamy reverse harem by Barbra Campbell! Tabitha, suffering from a frustrating illness, finds herself being lavished upon by not just one but three handsome as sin men. Jeff, Bruce, and Malachi have found their missing piece and aren’t afraid to let both their kinky and romantic sides out. Sexy and sweet!

Room Two sizzles!

Finding the one for three best friends takes a turn when Jeff first spot Tabitha. She is not use to all the attention from one attractive man what will happen when she meets Malachi and Bruce and also discover their life in Room Two. I enjoyed the delightful heat level in this newest release that doesn’t disappoint.

More to Life

Tabitha lets her friend take her out where she meets Jeff. He is to good to be true and doesn't give him a chance until her friend tells her to take the chance because there is more to life then her issues. Tabitha soon discovers with Jeff and his brothers help there really is more to life. Will she allow them to show her what that is?

Loved Tabitha!

I loved the chemistry between Tabitha, Jeff, Malachi, and Bruce.
As a 911 dispatcher, she had a stalker caller. She met Jeff when she went out with Valerie, who made her feel safe. Jeff came as a third, looking for their fourth.
Thank you Ms. Campbell for a great story in this series.

This is the second story in the multi author series Club Sin. Tabitha is a 911 operator that meets Jeff one night. Little does she know that he thinks she would be perfect woman for him and his brothers in arms and now business partners Bruce and Malachi. Great story with hot scenes and an awesome chemistry 🔥🔥🔥 Sweet, steamy, romantic, with action and safe with a HEA for them 😍😍😍

Room 2

I don't know what to say about this book but new kink unlocked. The storyline is good I give it like a 3.5 could have been better. The spice 3.5 also could have been better but the scenes that we did have they were good don't get me wrong. I highly recommend you read this book. I'm currently going to go read 12 Days of Christmas so yeah

[Robin]

Love learning new things thru books, living a life like that would be extremely trying even at the best of times. Strange how people puck the worse things to obsess over, then think it's OK for them to take action then try to not responsible for their actions. Absolutely love the care and undestacing that these three guys are able to shower onto Tabby.

A totally different take on the genre. I am constantly amazed at these stories. One woman and multiple men can equal happily ever after.
