This is not a KU rabbit hole I thought I would fall into but hey, why not. If life has taught me anything, it's to face the insanity around you and vibe with it.

This is the best book in the series. I love how Sofia loves these men but what's heartwarming is the love they have for her in return. These men aren't jealous of one another and everyone works together moving in sync like a well oiled machine.

I was relieved to see that her father Miles has decided to let Sofia make her own decision; which is to stay with her men. It was also nice to see Miles and Sofia's mother Diane reconnect to give their relationship another try.

Each man: Gunnar, Roman, Nick and Holden have their own personal problems but Sofia has proven that her love is strong enough to slay any dragon. Of course there are some insecurities because in the back of each guys mind they're afraid that Sofia may decide to choose to stay with only one leaving the other 3 behind like their previous girlfriend did. The only difference this time is the fact that Gunnar, Roman, Nick and Holden has fallen hopelessly in love with Sofia and can't imagine life without her.

The guys previous Office Manager & Girlfriend Bella wedding is coming up and although she is the one who trained Sofia at work, she is jealous of the relationship the guys have with Sofia. I can't imagine what will happen next because if she's jealous of Sofia being with her former exes she is really gonna have a problem when she finds out that they are ALL in love with her. Especially when the only one out of their playgroup to fall in love with her is her soon to be husband Matthew.

I am eagerly anticipating the next book to see what happens next.

What will happen at Bella & Matthews Wedding?

What is Neal up too?

Will Sofia get her HEA with Gunnar, Roman, Nick and Holden?

Is Sasha still causing trouble or is it Neal's job now?

3.5 stars. This story is quintuple POV - the female lead, Sophia, alternating chapters with one of the male leads, Gunner, Roman, Holden, and Nick. The story is extremely well written and is emotionally engaging and very complex.

I have three issues. One: it is a serial. I loathe serials/cliffhangers. I want to sit down and read a story from start to finish. Two: I’m not a fan of reverse harem, mostly because I like to have my main characters all able to snuggle together easily. Three: in my opinion, it finishes in a Happy For Now, though the author has said she’s finished the series - I like a definite HEA.

I read this story because I was specifically asked to. The writing was great - I find this author’s style engaging, novel, and interesting - but my own preferences mean I can’t rate it any higher. If you like serials and reverse harem, I HIGHLY recommend. This story really does need to be read after the others in this series.

I love the story of Sofia and her four suitors. There is a potential problem brewing around the corner. Barbi has written a complex love story with many complications from family and co workers. Sofia is in love with three guys. They are friends with her father. Her father, Miles decides that Sofia is old to make her own decisions. He will be there for her if she ever needs him. The guys have their own insecurities with the possibility that she would choose one and leave the three others behind. She proves her love to the four of them and supports them through problems. A co-worker that is jealous that her former playmates are in love with Sofia. What will she do to throw a monkey wrench in their relationship?

Loved by Daddy's 4 Dirty Friends

While the relationship between Sophia, Roman, Holden, Gunner and Nick has progressed, her father Miles isn't so thrilled with the situation. There are times I am expecting a tsunami of angst and drama to hit rolling everyone all willy nilly but I am pleased to say the author had many better ideas. The work issues and other dramas involved are definitely enough to keep the reader on their toes in this fast paced read. The scenes are so well crafted as to be inclusive of the reader without being edgy or uncomfortable. Yes, this is a reverse harem but it is so tastefully written filled with emotion and mutual care it reads more as super spicy romance. I was so impressed with the love, dedication and willingness to communicate between the parties involved that I confess it left me feeling very hopeful for their future. I am absolutely looking forward to reading what happens next.

For me this book more so than others in this series showed Sophia come into her own and stand up for what she wants. She has done that with her relationship with Roman, Holden, Gunner and Nick but when their relationship is uncovered and their hand is forced to come clean Sophia makes her feelings clear to everyone including her parents and the guys too.

I loved how interwoven all the characters, their anxieties and their dynamic with Sophia was. Yes its very steamy in places but theres also a caring and loving sweetness to their relationship thats shown in this book too. Its a great read and i cant wait to see what happens next

[Cassandra Day · Rating 5 out of 5]

OMG I couldn't wait for this book. Poor Sophie doesn't know how to deal with her mom being back and having her dad find out her secret. The guys did a great job of trying to be there for her. Aghhhhhh all the feels in this book. I cannot wait for the next book. Grab yourself a coy and see why these five are #couplesgoals!

This third book is great. All four men and Sophie learn to trust each other and accept that there is more to their relationship. You feel the conflict that Sophie goes through with her parents. The love that the men have for her is unique to each individual. Loved this story.

I really liked this book, we got to see the guys open up more and I think we all need a Gunner in our life. If there was another book I would definitely read it also. This group is hot and steamy but sweet and loveable. It has all the feels!

[Mulan Book Princess · Rating 4 out of 5]

I quite liked this book as it gave me a much better understanding of Sophia, Gunner, Roman, Holden and Nick. I thought their chemistry was off the charts steamy and loved how they relate to each other. This story was fun, steamy and fun to read.

I received a free advanced review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving my fair and honest opinion.

This is the third book in the series and like the other books, I really enjoyed it. Things are really heating up with the Men and Sophia. Her father want the men to move out and Sophia decide to go with her( her parents didn't like that thou)
Her parents on the other side are also are working out their love life( more to come about that in the next book).
Can't wait to see what Ms Cox has in store for us.

Oh wow! I could not put this book down, read it in one seating!

It is amazing how the dynamic and camaraderie between Sophia and her four men flows like a well oiled machine!
It’s as if she was specially made for them…….

Yes there are antagonists in the story so everything is not smooth sailing but her men show her they are all in and will protect and cherish her at all costs!

I’m not happy with the way Bella is acting towards the four regarding moving on with their lives goes, as she did choose Matthew…….

Sophia’s father Miles was not so innocent where Bella was concerned so why is he so against his daughters happiness?

Why is Gunner so worried the same thing will happen in their relationship as Sophia is not Bella. She wants them all in her life and all Bella wanted was her cake and to eat it as well!

Now we await anxiously for the fourth book to see if everybody gets their happy ending but knowing Barbi’s writing style….. there will be another twist…….

Loved it!

I really enjoyed reading this, Book 3 of the Their Temptation series by Barbi Cox! I'm usually a very slow reader (2-3 wks per book), But I gobbled this one up in just 8 days. Confession: I stayed up one night until 5 AM reading! I couldn't put it down until it fell out of my hands as I fell asleep from exhaustion!

Spoiler Alert! Don't continue reading if you don't want to know.

My favourite scene was the swimming pool sexcapades. It was so HAWT! I squirmed right along with Sophia as she took her pleasure.

The characters are so different from one another and yet so perfect for each other. Holden gets comfortable with Sophia seeing him without his prosthetic. He's not comfortable around anyone without it! Gunner actually thinks about backing off on the amount of alcohol he consumes. He doesn't feel the need to be constantly numbed by alcohol anymore. Because he wants to be better for Sophia. Nick starts to enjoy his artistic side more, because Sophia brings it out in him. And Roman is the continual romantic, showing Sophia, that it's not only about the sex. And each one of the men in her brood show Sophia that she can be confident. sexy and potentially have it all!

Each book in this series just keeps getting better and better. Unfortunately, Barbi has said that the next will be the last for this series. I'm on the edge of my seat to see what else she has in store for these characters!

'Loved by Daddy's 4 Dirty Friends' by Barbi Cox is the third book in her Their Temptation series and continues the story of Sophia, who moved to NYC to work in her dad's company, and four of her father's friends, all former platoon members and current business partners; Gunner, Holden, Nick, and Roman. Sophia has been feeling guilty about not telling her father about her relationship with her four men. But she has been waiting until her father got a bit stronger and now her mother, Diana, is in town. Sophia thinks her parents have a secret they are not telling her. Then the decision to tell her father has been taken out of her hands because someone outside of their group has told Miles already. What is going to happen to Sophia’s relationship with the guys? What will happen between Miles and Sophia? And Miles and his partners? What is going on between Miles and Diana?

Ms. Cox has continued her titillating, engaging, and delightful story that is more then just a sex romp with finesse.This story is emotional, with some angst, laughs, secrets, trust issues, passion, and plenty of steam. I enjoyed this book and recommend it to anyone who likes some kink with their romance. Well worth the read. Can not wait for the next one.

I find that in this sexy series each book is a little bit better than the last. Sophia and her men Gunner,Holden, Nick and Roman have finally admitted that they have feelings for each other they've used the"L"word which really solidified their bond. Sophia has been feeling guilty for not telling her dad Miles about her relationship with the guys she wanted to wait for him to get a little stronger. Now her mother is in town and she knows that they're keeping something from her and it doesn't matter what she wanted to do because someone else already told Miles about her relationship with the guys. What's going to happen now can Sophia, Gunner,Holden, Nick and Roman continue their relationship once everyone knows about it? Can Miles accept Sophia's relationship with the guys without it affecting their friendship? What's the secret her parents are keeping? The answers to all these questions can be found by reading this engaging story to see what happens. I would recommend reading this book.

Sophia, Roman, Holden, Gunner and Nick finally admit their feelings but will their relationship be able to withstand others finding out about them. Sophia wants her Dad to find out from her, thinking it will soften the blow, but she is beaten to this by Sasha. Sophia uses her parents rekindling their relationship to help to soften the blow of their secret.
This book sees the group come together and prove to Sophia that they are in the relationship for more than sex, they love her but are still afraid she may only choose one of them over the others. Their other friend Matthew and ex-lover Bella's wedding is coming up and she chose Matthew over the rest of them. Who knows how Bella will take seeing their relationship, especially once she finds out they are actually in love.

This is the 3rd book in the series. I am looking forward to the next book.

I'm enjoying this engaging and delightful story about the relationship growing between Sophia and her father's friends Gunner, Holden, Nick and Roman. Yes, it's a sexy romp but it's also somewhat emotional and has so much to recommend it including humour, passion, angst, trust issues, secrets and palpable chemistry.

Feelings of guilt fill Sophia, she needs to tell her dad about her relationship with his four friends but needs him to be stronger before she does, then her mom arrives in town and Sophia senses something's not quite right between her parents. Then someone then tells her dad about her relationship before she can.

What's going to happen to Sophia’s relationship with the guys now? How will her dad react to his baby being involved with four of his friends at the same time? What's going on with her parents? So many twists and turns, I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

[Nikki · Rating 5 out of 5]

By far the best book in the series!!! Continuing to follow Sophia and her Alpha males Gunner, Holden, Roman and Nick on an amazing journey of professing love, intentions and standing up for what you want.

Once again Sophia loves each of the guys they way they need to be loved and they do the same for her. I love how their individual relationships are so different but yet the same. I still have my favorite guy though. I did not expect this book to go I. The direction that it did with Sophia’s dad Miles and her mom Diane. But good for her standing up for what she wants!

Also, I had a feeling how the last book ended that we would be hearing about Sasha again, little snitch. And what’s going to happen with the wedding?! And Bella’s jealousy?!

The swimming pool!!! Insert drool emoji! Again by far the best book of the series and can’t wait for the fourth and final book! A true page turner and Barbi Cox did not disappoint!

[Dasha · Rating 5 out of 5]

I recommend reading the other two books before this one so you know the backstory of all the characters. In this book, Sophia's parents know about her relationship(s) with her dad's best friends but they don't necessarily approve of it. This story continues to show the dynamics of Sophia, Gunner, Nick, Roman, and Holden. This time the "L" word is out there which ends up strengthening their relationships. Also, since Sophia's mom and dad are going to try to make a second go of their relationship, Sophia and her men are going to live in another property owned by the men. It give them an opportunity to really see how the dynamics will play out. Barbi does a great job of making this a working and feasible RH story. I love the characters she has created and the dialog between the men and Sophia.

Another easy and fun read by Barbi Cox. Secrets are revealed and we get to once more learn a bit more about the men (especially Gunner) and also get an insight into the parents relationship. It's a happy for now ending but I really hope the author continues writing. There are so many unanswered questions even from the first book for example, why does Sophie have nightmares? Does Gunner's insecurities become an issue? Will that guy at the office become a bigger issue? I'm hoping that in the next book (if it comes) we will get to know more about Nick and Roman and see if it all goes well at the wedding. I also really hope that the story of Sophie's parents gets developed further, either in the following book(s) or in a book of their own.

This Steamy RH Series Just Keeps Getting Better!

Picking up immediately from Shared By Daddy's 4 Dirty Friends, Loved By Daddy's 4 Dirty Friends continues the story of Sophia, Gunner, Roman, Holden and Nick. Jealous Sasha outs Sophia and her men to her father and her mother comes to visit. I'm so happy that Barbi did not kill Sophie's dad, Miles and I love the second chance romance between him and Diana (Sophie's mom). I also love how the author is developing Sophie's relationship with her men and also with her parents. I can't wait for the next book to see what happens at Matthew and Bella's wedding and how things develop between Sophie and her guys. I definitely recommend this book (and the whole series) for a super-steamy read with all the feels.

[Nicola · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've really enjoyed this series so far but this book is the best one yet. The relationship continues to grow and deepen with all the guys realising they're in love with Sophie and she in return is in love with each of them. Barbi Cox is such a good writer and fills these books with so much besides sex, don't get me wrong there's plenty of sex but it's so much more than that. I don't usually like RVs but these books have me glued to the spot from start to finish. The guys all have their own problems and personal demons, Sophie helps them by listening, loving and supporting them. They all look after Sophie in the most amazing ways, they aren't jealous of each other and everything works. I really hope they get a special HEA. I can't wait for the next book.

Well this was an interesting turn on RH as these were not just her fathers friends but her father had shared another girl with these guys.
That was well before she came into the picture and well before her father became sick and her mother came back into their life, just to make things interesting, as if they weren't enough already.
But they seem to make it work and it finally all worked out but geez as if it didn't make bring out the insecurities of all the guys at one time or another.
Not quite sure where I stand on this but I read it to the end as I was curious as to how it would go, I think Sophie worked hard for her silver lining and deserved it.

Sophie loves her men and no one is going to take that away from her. She's willing to battle her parents about their non conventional relationship and these are her dad's best friends. Will love be enough for all involved? Will she.have to choose just one.in the end? Will she be able to love them all forever like she does now? Will Bella be an issue!? I can't wait to see how things turn out, Barbi girl, you have me on pins and needles.

The way Nick, Gunnar, Roman, and Holden love and adore Sophia is so sweet and endearing. It is as if she's the most precious thing they have ever had the pleasure of being around and it's so sweet.

So Daddy knows! How are Sophie, Roman, Nick, Holden and Gunner going to make it through? Who else is going to find out? Will they get their happily ever after?

This is instalment number 3 of the ‘Their Temptation’ series and it hasn’t disappointed. I find these books to be feel good quick reads that I can use between heavier reads.

As with the other books in the series there is plenty of steam and drama (though the drama is never too disheartening)

I’m honestly not sure how this series is going to end as every time the guys get over one hurdle another presents itself (much like real life). They all however manage to make the most of the calm moments between the drama to worship Sophie and treat her like the Princess she is to them.

A solid 4⭐️ read, you won’t be disappointed.

This is the third book in the series And what a read!!!!
The story continues for Sophia and her four beautiful sexy men.
But I can tell you two thing about this book I didn’t like and that was her mother and Sasha. How embarrassing was Sasha Determined to destroy everything by telling Sophia’s father and ex boss what had been going on!! I think Sophie really went through the ringer in this one but will she survived intact with all her men? And don’t even get me started about her mother!!!
I couldn’t put this book down. There was so much tension and drama. But as everything goes wrong her men are still by her side. Really enjoying this series.

I don't even know where to start the feels over this book. With how loving the guys are with Sophie. You are starting to see how much they love her and she loves them in return. As things start coming together with the group, questions and anxieties start rearing up. Something's brewing and I'm not sure what it is. Oh so many questions. What happened to Sonya? I can't believe heard we've heard the last of her. What is Bella going to do? Why does she have the right to be jealous? Why is Gunner questioning Sophie's commitment and her feelings? Will some skeleton come rear its head? I'm glad to see the development of Miles and Diana. I love them both and hope they have their very own HEA. I'm on the edge of my seat and already counting down to when we can dive into the next book!

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. This book in the series really shows Sofia coming into her own. She is dealing with the issues with her parents and trying to cement her relationship with the men. The guys have their doubts here and there but love is going to keep them together. Gunnar, Roman, Nick and Holden are her world. She is going to stick to her choices because each of them means so much to her. Miles and her mother are going to have to accept that she loves four men and those men worship the ground she walks on. They have their share of drama and conflict but it works out in the end. Watch for the next book to round it all out.

Jealous Sasha outs Sophia and her men to her father and her mother comes to visit. I'm so happy that Barbi did not kill Sophie's dad, Miles, and I love the second chance romance between him and Diana (Sophie's mom).

Sophia has to deal with issues such as her father's hospitalization while she is falling in love with his four best friends that live with him, her mother's visit from the west and moving in with them while she tries to keep the secret, an ex-employee telling her father of her relationship with the four and him thinking it's like their former relationship with Belle, etc. This book is full of hot love and angst deriving from it. What will happen when her father comes home from the hospital? What will happen when the guys are invited to Belle and Matthew's wedding events? Will Roman, Gunner, Nick and Holden mind their leader Miles and abandon her? I can't wait for the next book!
