Four Always

Four #8

by Stephanie Brother

I have a secret. Four of them, actually. They’re big and strong and make their living taking off their clothes for adoring fans. But they’ve been giving me private shows for free.

When an innocent bakery delivery ends in me being surrounded by four hot male strippers, I don't stand a chance of resisting them.

As a plus-size woman, I’m used to being overlooked by men, but the Stanton brothers dazzle me with their playful charm, piercing eyes, and gorgeous muscles.

Maddox loves to make me laugh, but when it comes to worshiping my curves and giving me pleasure, he doesn’t fool around.

Diesel and Dodge, twin stars of the male revue, make me feel like I’m the only woman in the room even as they perform for huge crowds.

Chase is the type of man who goes after what he wants, and he makes it clear that the five of us being together is his goal.

I can’t get enough of them, even though I have to sneak around to see them. My ultra-strict parents fought to keep their club from opening on the island, and will go off the deep end if they find out I’m fooling around with the owners.

So the four men and I share stolen moments and plan secret rendezvous, which only makes being with them even more exciting.

I’ve known from the beginning that it can’t last, but the brothers don’t just want a fling — they want a relationship with me and they want the world to know about it.

Being with the men would mean choosing them over my family. When chasing a happy ever after destroys everything else in your life, can it ever be worth it?

Four Always is book 8 in the FOUR Series, standalone reverse harem romances with characters who continue to make appearances.

3.5 stars

Four Always is the eighth book in the Four 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.

[Mandy Robitaille · Rating 4 out of 5]

I'm a sucker for stories with strippers/male revue dancers, and this was so good. A delightful smutty tale from Stephanie Brother!

Soo…I can already tell that the FMC is gonna be the type of naive and innocent that makes me have the worst kind of second hand embarrassment, and I Hate that feeling.
Plus I’m getting the vibe that this is single POV, so there’d be no reprieve from the cringe.

I’m good.

Great characters. A lot for the main character to cycle though.

I really liked this story. You have Jade, serious person whose parents go off at the slightest thing because of their religious background. Asked to deliver some cookies, she meets Diesel, Dodge, Maddox and Chase. 4 brothers who own a club that her parents wanted closed down. We see the ups and downs of her thoughts and feeling on being with the 4 men. Culminating in heartachea as she cycles through her emotions. Too worried about what othwr people may think. Great characters and good storyline, although I was shouting at the book about her throwing away her future happiness. Can't wait for more books in this series.

Four Always is the first book that ive read in The Four series and if all of the books are as good as this one then Ill have to get hold of those too.

One delivery of a specific cookie and Jade (FMC) comes face to face with the owners of Club Red. A strip club/male revue. They bring plenty of steaminess Dodge, Diesel, Chase and Maddox bring to her life but also complications too. Jade and the guys relationship is actually a really sweet and caring one at the heart of this book. I really enjoyed reading it

[Lisa Bing · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a fab addition to the series and quite the steamy read. Jade meets four brothers who fall for her hard and fast. She loves the attention but worries about her conservative parents.... This angst worked with her jealousy of the women who lusted after her guys and I was rooting hard for her to make the right choice ;P This was a fun and hot read and I'm looking forward to what's next by this author :D

[Jezabel Nightingale · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sometimes a book doesn’t have to make a lot of sense to be enjoyable. I haven’t read any of the other books in the series, but it seems there are plenty of harems loving on this island! Perhaps that’s why it was simply accepted by our female main character. Regardless, the story was hot and spicy!.

Would be awesome but the guys are brothers (why oh why do I always think they're close like brothers and then they turn out to be blood related)

[Mulan Book Princess · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thought this was such a cute and steamy hot romance. I loved Jade as she is such a sweetheart. And oh my… the Stanton brothers Dodge, Diesel, Maddox and Chase are so totally swoon-worthy as they are considerate, sweet and attentive. The chemistry between them is sizzling and they are so good together. There are some things that Jade needs to work through and I love how it ends.

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

Jade was annoying.

[Penny · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ever since Stephanie Brother announced that she was writing Four Always, the eighth book of the Four series, I confess I have been on tenterhooks. When I look back at my Kindle history, it turns out that the Four series are the books that really got me to follow Stephanie Brother. For now, allow me to focus on this book.

Jade is a curvy woman who works in a bakery owned by Maddy, the main character in the first book of the series. She is tasked to deliver some novelty cookies to Club Red, a male strip club that recently opened in Four Points. This is where Jade meets the gorgeous Stanton brothers: Chase, Dodge, Diesel, and Maddox, who happen to be dancers and the owners of Club Red.

From the moment they met sparks flew. Despite the heated looks and flirtatious repartee the men were throwing her way, Jade doubted that they were truly attracted to her but was secretly thrilled by it.

Fast forward a few days and the Stantons visit the bakery, not to buy baked goods, but to pursue her. I'm not going to lie, this made me kick up my heels and giggle thinking, "OMG, they're into ME!"

Yes, I tend to put myself as the main character in the book, especially when she has extra bumps she wishes she didn't have. I eagerly turned the pages of the book to read more. I wanted to know how long Jade would resist and I was curious to see how these men will be able to win her over. Jade also volunteers at an animal shelter and the Stantons "stalked" her there as well. Suffice it to say they were persistent and Jade eventually succumbed to their charms.

Four Always by Stephanie Brother is a wonderful story and made me wish I had Stanton brothers of my own who adore me.

Jade worked at the local bakery where she was asked by her boss to deliver some baked goods to Club Red a new revue place. Though most of the island thought of it as a strip bar. While she was at the club, she met the owners twins Dodge and Diesel, along with their older and younger brothers respectively Chase, and Maddox Stanton. They were all quite taken with Jade's beauty. They invited her to the show later for free, but she did not feel like it would be for her. The next day they showed up to the bakery for lunch to invite her again, only they explained what the show entailed. Finally, she went to a show with her friend, Becca, but she found herself jealous of the other women seeing so much of what she thought of as her men. She did start seeing the guys at their home so no one would know about them especially her parents. The guys showed great understanding and patience with Jade in her keeping them secret from her parents and not wanting to be seen in public with them. Jade had to finish growing up and she had to set guidelines for her parents in her life before she could actually live her life. Until, that point she was to afraid of what they might think or say or they might just disown her. She was not her own person. An enjoyable read as Jade and her four guys develop a relationship while Jade learns to overcome her many insecurities with the help of her guys. These men were awesome real gentlemen.

This book works really well for any Stephanie Brother fan and for those new to her work.

While there is the reverse harem and focus on the woman, in this case I loved how Jade had some growing up to do.

The overall message of this work, and many other polyandry works is that love is the only thing that matters.

Chase, Dodge, Diesel, and Maddox are four brothers with their own identities and journeys in this book. We get a glimpse of them through excellent dialogue and terrific description.

This is one time when I wished we had a three or five year epilogue as to how things work out in their lives after the excellent conclusion and short term epilogue.

It was great seeing groups from past books in this series including how the women give advice when needed, and how the men demonstrated to Jade what her life might be like if she chose to engage in a relationship with the four brothers who attract her.

While nearly all of the secondary characters are excellent, I took a bit of exception to the portrayal of Jade's parents towards the end where several scenes could have been added or even expanded. These are individuals who are shown to be a certain way, but there is less showing with scene.


I recommend this for folks who love staying up all night for a captivating read because I certainly did just that!.

I wanted to like this book. I almost dnf’d at the 83% mark but I dnf’d the previous one.

Bullet points for brevity,,,

Good:

-Interesting premise with the guys being make dancers/strippers
-Fmc had relatable inner conflicts either herself and her parents, and resolved those at the end


Not Good:

-The book was at a breakneck pace that gave zero opportunity for chemistry building between the mc’s. Sorry, I’m apparently in the minority on my feelings there. But the super fast pace plus the mmc’s being himbos just didn’t do it for me.
-The personalities of the guys were forgettable.
-The fmc was annoying in her flip flopping throughout the 80% of the book and made me cringe with her horny naïveté.
-Why was the fmc special to these dudes? They found her sexy. But there was no indication of anything else that would have helped it not seem like a fetish situation. With the lack of personalities, there was so much disconnect. I mean these dudes are drowning in poontang being thrown at them three times a week. Regardless of the fmc being curvy or not, what made her special?? She is very self conscious so it’s not like we could forget. I love curvy rep but not like this.
-Low spice for this author.

I like this author and she can write, but this book was not enjoyable for me, unfortunately. I’m hoping another author can do better with curvy girl RH.

Four Always was so much fun to write, and I hope romance lovers have a good time reading it! My favorite scenes were the meet-cute at the beginning (which features some very interestingly-shaped cookies!) and the scene where Jade, who's led a sheltered life, goes to the male review show, because try as she might, she cannot resist! She's nervous just being in the audience, so when the men pull her up on stage, she's a little bit overwhelmed!

Four Always has:
♥ Four gorgeous brothers who strip in a male revue show
♥ A plus-size heroine who learns her worth
♥ A charming beagle/pointer mix named Barnes
♥ A charity date auction
♥ Naughty baked goods

This book marks the end of the Four series, but this ending brings a new beginning! On November 8, I'm launching a new series of standalone stories set in the same world as the Four series. The series is called Four After Dark, the new book is Four Nights. I hope you'll add it to your TBR and let me know what you think of it.

Four Points, here I come

Holy moly but Four Points is a hot bed for hot men who are okay sharing one woman.

Jade delivers a bakery order to a club owned by four brothers. They encounter her in the lobby and are completely smitten with her. They immediately invite her to their revue that night, but she declines.

The next day, they arrive at the bakery to invite her again. She's not sure, but goes with Becca. She loves the show, gets trashed, and two of the men assist Becca in getting her home and up to the apartment.

The next night, they begin a fling. Jade, raised by negative, ultra conservative parents,who are also very judgy, and rude, have been living rent free in her head all her life. She allows their hateful ideas to cloud her future.

However, after breaking up with the men, even though she's half in love with them, she sees her parents for who they are and realizes they suc. She goes to the club and apologies to them for hurting them, then leaves.

Read this if you want to see how they fair.

Jade, who works in a bakery, which is owned by Maddy (heroine of the first story of this series). Then she delivers some baked goods to a strip club, where she meets the Stanton brothers, Chase, Dodge, Diesel, and Maddox, the owners and dancers of the club. The chemistry is instant, but Jade has a hard time believing the genuity of their feelings. Is it a flirt or more. Then she is reluctant to tell her family, who would not approve of this kind of relationship. But the feelings run deep.
I am a huge fan of Stephanie Brothers menage stories, this one was no difference. I could feel with Jade. I love the belance between steam and romance. The stories always reel me in and the characters are special. I have read so many of her stories, but it never gets boring. This certainly will not be my last story.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy OF "FOUR ALWAYS"
I thoroughly enjoyed this story the characters were very interesting, intriguing, with humor, secrets, you can't put down till finished.
Jade's parents are religious always on her case she's a curvie woman usually over looked by men she owns a bakery she gets an oder to be delivered to the new Revue Club Red her parents tried to let be opened.
Jade feels a little out of sorts meeting the Stanton brothers Maddox, Deisel, Dodge, Chase owners & dancers of the club they remove their clothes for a living to adoring fans.
Stanton brothers & Jade have great chemistry together she worries about people finding out & what her very conservative parents would say to her if they knew, plus her feelings of jealousy of the women who ogle her men.
I definitely recommend to get this delightful story can Jade & her men make a go of it get a HEA you must get this book to see how things turn out its a must read for sure.

Jade is working at a bakery and her last thing to do before going home is make a delivery to Club Red. When she arrives, she meets Maddox, Dodge, Diesel and Chase. The men are dancers at the club as well as the owners and they are drawn to Jade. When she doesn't come in that night, they show up the next day at the bakery to talk to her. They share lunch and talk to her about things they are doing and about her coming to see them at a live show or a private one. Its not long before a friend convinces her to go see them perform. Things heat up between her and they guys pretty quick after that. Will this be a temporary thing? Or will the guys claim her as their own?

This is a steamy story that will sizzle in your hands as your reading it. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

Jade is having a hard time. She’s got a new job, she’s working through a recent breakup and a rough relationship with her over-baring parents. She meets 4 very handsome men one afternoon when she’s asked to deliver baked goods to the new club in town. Chase, Maddox, Diesel and Dodge are immediately drawn to Jade. They just need to convince Jade to take a chance. Jade can’t resist the sexy foursomes charms and finds that it’s easy to enjoy their company. She’s struggling with those feelings, knowing her parents would disapprove. She keeps the guys a secret, even tries to convince herself it’s all just fun. Feelings develop fast. The boys do everything they can to show Jade she’s beautiful and amazing. She’s still hiding behind her insecurities. Can they convince her there’s a future for the 5 of them? Four very sexy Stanton brothers makes for a very sexy read.

Jade grew up with very straight laced, religious parents. So when she is tasked with delivering a bakery order to the new club in town that her parents wanted shut down, she immediately becomes conflicted because of instant attraction to the club owners: Diesel, Maddox, Chase, and Dodge. Four brothers that instantly fall for Jade and cause more confliction for her as she knows her parents would never approve of her dating one of them, let alone all four! Not to be deterred, the brothers show up trying to show Jade that they are respectable and deserving of her time and that they are seriously growing to care for her. This was a fun read watching as Jade navigated her way through the ups and downs of building a relationship with four men, knowing her family would not approve just because of their choice of profession.

[Fiona · Rating 5 out of 5]

This long-awaited story was well worth reading and made me laugh and cry when Jade had to work out what was the best thing in her life. Whether or not she pleased her family or she lived her life for herself, especially when she met brothers Chase, Diesel, Dodge and Maddox.

These four guys owned the male review club that her parents put up a petition to prevent from opening but wasn’t successful. When she first started going out with them she had her relationship from her parents and most of her friends until she realised what was more important to her. There is a happily ever after for all five and many pets to come in the future.

Jade is working at the bakery in her home town when she meets the four Stanton brothers that just opened a male revue in town. Chase, Diesel, Dodge and Maddox are instantly attracted to Jade and begin to pursue her. Jade has been raised very conservatively and has been bullied by her mother her entire life. She tries to keep things between her and the guys very casual but the guys aren't having it. Things get tense, Jade struggles to come to terms with standing up for herself and in the end the guys really help her become her own person. Super steamy MFMMM romance that had some funny moments.

Jade comes from a very upright family who did their best to deny the new male strip club coming to town. Jade herself is much more accepting and less judgmental. Jade volunteers at an animal shelter and works at a very popular bakery. Her boss sends her to make a special delivery at the strip club. Just one look at the the club's owners has Jade almost speechless. She can't keep her eyes off them. The four Stanton brothers also seem interested in her and invite her to one of their shows. Jade is torn because she wants to see more of the brothers but she is uncomfortable about going to a strip club. Finally her best friend convinces her to go to a performance and Jade falls in love.

I loved this installment in the Four world. I especially like how Jade is a curvy girl and not the supermodel type that romance novels tend to lean towards. I liked that I could empathize with Jade, from her insecurities to the choppy relationship with her parents, she is a down to earth l, relatable person. You can easily find pieces of yourself in Jade and she is a very well written character.
I also loved the men. Straight forward and to the point, know exactly what they want and don't let society or their job get in the way.
This was a great story that built up self confidence throughout the entire book and I loved it.

[Sabrina · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a good book. I enjoyed the depth of this book. I liked that the characters weren’t shallow and dealt with real world problems. I liked that the characters came to their own conclusions and were not persuaded. It is well worth the read.

Jade has led a sheltered life and has been heavily influenced by her parents. Working for Maddie at the bakery she makes a delivery that sets her on a path she never saw coming and isn’t sure is the right path for her. She will have to make a lot of hard decisions and face a lot of truths to figure out her path in life. Can she do it without losing everyone and everything?

[Sarah Oliver · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sexy, sweet and irresistible.

This is the first book I have read in the 'Four' series but is in fact the 8th and last installment. I found the four Stanton brothers absolutely gorgeous and loved the way they respected and cherished Jade. As the only child of conservative, controlling and critical parents, Jade blossomed under the brother's loving attentions, but struggled to see a future with them. This book was very sexy and very sweet, with humorous and heart-aching moments, and a steamy, beautiful and irresistible epilogue.

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this story about Jade, Chase, Diesel, Dodge, and Maddox. Jade is a young woman who works at a bakery and volunteers at an animal shelter. She meets the guys by chance when delivering a special order to their club from the bakery. It's send the brothers are the owner and operators of Club Red, a male revue club. What she doesn't expect and plan on is getting swept off her feet by all four brothers. But her parents raised her very strict and frowned upon anything but proper. Great chemistry and HEA in the works for this crew.

I received this book with the understanding that I could leave a voluntary and honest review.

In this book we meet Jade, Dodge, Diesel, Maddox, & Chase. When this book opens we find that Jade has offered to make the last delivery of the bakery not knowing where exactly she is going. When she gets there and sees the men she can't believe they are containing all this hotness in one building. Though the guys want her to stay she just isn't sure. Can they all find a HEA or will Jade's overbearing upbringing make that impossible?

Another amazing hit by this author. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

This was fricking sexy, adorable, blush worthy and everything cute!
Another of brothers why choose you cannot not love! The men were fire in a body but also so caring, considerate, loving and strong.
Our lovely FMC was delicious and curvy like some of us love em to be! She grew into such a beautiful character that embraces her inner self.

I am usually one for the dark, disturbed and depraved books but I always love to come to Stephanie brothers extremely hot & enchanting books with doting men ❤️
