My vacation Down Under is a bust until a bar-load of Aussie men offer to take me to Cloud 9! When my best friend shacks up with eight gorgeous tattoo artists, I decide it’s time to shake up my life. A ticket to Australia seems like a perfect way to find some desperately needed fun and leave behind the black cloud hanging over me. The cool beach bar I stumble into draws me in with its chilled music and boho vibe. But it’s the nine scorching hot men who own and run the bar that make me want to stay. When they offer me a job, I make it my mission to experience absolutely everything Cloud 9 has to offer. And that includes the owners! Bradley and Bryce are twins from Texas who cook up a storm in the kitchen and between my sheets. Lachlan, from Scotland, is quiet and brooding, and his touch stills my restless soul. Joshua and Jared are blond twins from London who've left the big smoke behind to indulge their love of surfing. They give new meaning to their catchphrase, 'If it swells, ride it'. Thomas, Logan, Mitchell, and Cooper are hot, rugged Aussie men with laid-back attitudes and a dedication to exploring all my foreign territory. They go the whole nine yards to take me to heaven and back and are determined to make me their lucky number ten. But even though they show me how good they are down under... and over... and everywhere in between, settling down was never part of the plan. My YOLO tattoo makes me seem carefree and adventurous, but it’s there to remind me that imagining a future is dangerous. Getting the most out of life means moving on before my heart gets involved....and before I have to face up to my greatest fear. Or does it?

International bestselling author Stephanie Brother writes high heat love stories with a hint of the forbidden. Since 2015, she’s been bringing to life handsome, flawed heroes who know how to treat their women. If you enjoy stories involving multiple lovers, including twins, triplets, stepbrothers, and their friends, you’re in the right place. When it comes to books and men, Stephanie truly believes it’s the more, the merrier.
She spends most of her day typing, drinking coffee, and interacting with readers.
Her books have been translated into German, French, and Spanish, and she has hit the Amazon bestseller list in seven countries.
This was a good read. I was happy how everything turned out. This was kinda and emotional read for me. But it was still good and the sex was top tier as always.
I absolutely loved this book. Like any other Stephanie Brother novel, you will be drawn into the story in the lives of the characters involved. Bradley, Bryce, Laughlan, Joshua, Jarrod, Thomas, Logan, Mitchell, and Cooper are all owners of a local pub in Byron Bay, Australia. Dawn is vacationing in Australia, or you could say she is running from a secret and is hiding from it in Australia. Dawn meets these nine men and starts something with them as a here and now fling, but they all catch feelings and it becomes complicated to her, but she needs to confront her problems first before she can go ahead and make it a forever kind of thing. There are accidents and damages they have to confront before they can have a happy ever after.
I was given a copy of this book to read and I am reviewing with my honest and fair opinion.
❤️❤️❤️❤️ 💋💋💋 If only we could all be part of this relationship, we’d all be on Cloud 9. Hot refers to more that just the weather in the outback. Enjoyable and steamy Aussie adventure from the Queen of Reverse Harem.
When life is chasing you and your destiny is not guaranteed, you run, you live life like there’s no tomorrow, and you give it your all. But what happens when choices have to be made, and decisions are inevitable. Another great read from Stephanie.
I received an Arc copy of this book and chose to post this review

Just like all of Stephanie’s books I finished it in a day! I couldn’t put it down! I loved learning more about Dawn and how she got to where she is at the end of the book! It was hatch a great story and the spice was phenomenal!
She has done again… I loved this book there is just enough spice to make this book a great romance. I loved the diversity in the characters too. Great job again Stephanie Brother I can’t wait for the next one.
Stephanie Brother you have done it again!!!! Dawns harem is absolutely amazing and I love the way they love her and respect her and wanted to be there for her!!!! I’m so glad that she got her own book and the spiciness was awesome too!!!!! Definitely know how to write!!!!!
I love the stories of multiple men ,one female. Had no idea, what Dawn was hiding from the men, Australia. What could make Dawn, be so flighty, and make a serious committment. When men find out, possible she might have a Cancer gene, explains her behavior. She was scared and wanted to live life fast and quick. One oh her men, could relate to her, having gone thru Cancer, himself.Dawn was able be strong enough to call Dr and find out test results. Turns out after 12 months of avoiding finding out, she could of saved herself, all that worry, stress. Now, with that out in open, she can be fully herself and enjoy life with her men.
This book really got to me with everything that happen to Logan and grace I love Stephanie book because the emotions and character always feels so reel and feelings like you are someone looking in. This book was really amazing and I can't wait for the next one in the series Tx for amazing books Stephanie please keep writing I definitely recommend this author books
Dawn and her 9 are awesome. I thought Kyla and her Inked 8 men were my favorite but this gave it a ton for it's money! Loved it and couldn't put it down!
I love this book! It’s much more than a rh love story, it’s a reminder that everyday is not promised so live in the moment enjoy life and be grateful to be alive! It also reminds people that you can conquer your fears by giving some of the stress to the ones you love because they will be there for you to handle some of life’s struggles! It also taught me that women should not be ashamed about wanting sex from anyone you want as long as you’re upfront and honest about it just being sex and use protection!
I understand the need for escape..I understand the need to live each day to the fullest. But what happens when you stop long enough to see what the future might hold. That's what Dawn is facing all she has to do is jump in with no more than she has in this life. All I have to say is Chapter 36 ...my heart.
The 9 men were amazing. Understanding, loving, and perfect. But Dawn kinda sucked. She was so irritating at times. Part of me wanted to reach through the page and smack her a little. Overall it was a good book
There’s nothing like a sexy, hot, dreamy reverse harem as only Stephanie Brother can write!! I’m so happy Dawn got her story and HEA with her international harem while she’s on vacation in Australia!! Whew! Talk about hot stuff!! Even though she has no intention of ‘settling down’, these nine hunky men go about proving that YOLO can lead to forever!!
Absolutely loved it! I was counting down the days until this was released this is one of my favorite series by Stephanie and this book didn't disappoint. I couldn't put it down I loved the men in this book.
This is one read that definitely has steam put still has a bit of a plot to it. Right from the start the characters have the ability to draw you into the pages. It’s impossible to not like the characters. All round its just a great read.
This was great!!! I’ve read quite a few of Stephanie’s other books and this one was way more different then all the others I’ve read and I loved it! The FMC and men were absolutely amazing I loved the personalities and how they worked together. The spicy time was fabulous and I honestly didn’t feel like any of the mens were left out. It was equal love opportunity I was sad I couldn’t join 😂😂 The experiences the character had were wonderful and the HEA was everything you wanted!
Stephanie Brother does it again! This was an amazing story with great character development. With some hot scenes! A must read like all of her other books!
Dawn is living each day like it could be her last. Living in the moment and moving on whenever she wanted. In Australia, she meets 9 sexy bar-owning best friends. Dawn agrees to work for the guys. One at a time, sometimes two, the guys find themselves drawn to her. It becomes clear that Dawn is hiding something. As the guys get closer to her, she starts to think about moving on. This is a very sexy, multiple love story that has plenty of heat. Plenty of amazing guys.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book. I’ve been surprised by this book as I was expecting it to be just about horizontal action an no „brains“. But let me tell you, of course there’s a lot of that happening - has to be with nine dudes - but there’s also a sweet sidestory, that has you drawn towards Dawn immediately.
This story made me feel a bit stressed. Dawn's got something she's avoiding and my mind went crazy with all of the things it could be. It all works out in the end so she gets her HEA. I reviewed an ARC copy of this book.
Dawn's story This book filled me with lots of emotions. There was humor, angst, steam and more! I really liked Dawn. She funny and sassy. I liked that the guys were all so different and came from different places. The banter between them seemed so natural and fun. I love how much the guys rallied behind Dawn as well. Overall, great read with laughter, spice and a happy ending! Loved it!
This book we get to read about Dawn and her lovely nine men.
I always love the way Stephanie is able to write big harem. Shenis able to give them their own time and still have a plot and it's not all just smexy time. And she knocked this one out of the ballpark just like the rest of them.
We know Dawn is running from something but we are unsure of what at the beginning but by the ending she is running to the guys 😉😉.

Group scene. 🫡
It takes Kyla coming to Australia for all the men to really understand that they need to figure what secret Dawn is hiding. When they guys start to ask Kyla, she won't tell them, but Kyla does get Dawn to realize she's not only hurting herself but them and her dad too.
~ It's hard to feel important when you look around at the world and realize that you’re just like a fleck of sand or a spark of light within the infinite universe.
Logan shares with Kyla about him having Cancer, and that he wants to be there for Dawn to matter what, and that he loves her. That's when Kyla finally tells him that. Kyla's mom died of Cancer and Dawn might have the Cancer gene. She was tested but hasn't called to hear the results. Logan goes to Dawn and tells her about his Cancer, and she finally tells him, and he tells the guys. After a bit she finally gets the courage to call her Doctor with Logan by her side. She doesn't have the gene. After spending more time with Kyla, Dawn let's the guys know that she is staying.
Dawn travels to Australia on a YOLO adventure but she’s really running from her fears. She’s a free spirit that loves sex and is not ashamed of her desires or her body.
When she goes to Club 9 for a job interview she meets quite a few sexy men. Mitchell makes her laugh but it’s up to the boss Lachlan to hire her or not. When she gets the job and a room in their hostel she’s ready to live in the moment.
Jared and Joshua a set of mirror twins are from England and came to Australia to chase the waves. Bradley and Bryce are twins from Texas, they came there to start over and bring good ol’ BBQ to down under. Lachlan is from Scotland. Cooper, Logan, Mitchell and Thomas are natives and these guys met, bonded and put their resources together to open Cloud 9.
The guys know Dawn is running from something but she hasn’t told them what it is. She’s determined to travel and keep running but the guys want her to stay.
Cloud 9 is a valuable property and when a sleaze ball tries to force them to sell they tell him to go fly a kite. He warns them that they will sell or else.
This was an emotional read even with all the naughty goodness the story tugs at the heartstrings.
This is one thing I love about Stephanie Brother’s books, they have the hot steamy parts but also a story that is different and unique each time. Some are not as emotional like this one because we learn that Dawn’s mom died of cancer and she’s taken YOLO as her mantra.
We also know there is always a HEA for the characters no matter what they might have to go through or face to get it.
What do you do when running isn't working anymore? When your heart finally decides to fall? YOLO has been Dawns mantra for so long, that she doesn't know how to live any other way. A friend directs her to the Cloud 9 bar & the nine men who would change her life forever. Lachlan, Bradley, Bryce, Jared, Joshua, Cooper, Logan, Mitchell & Thomas run the bar & are interested in Dawn & willing to share her, if she will just slow down. Dawn has secrets that are holding her back from enjoying life & finding love. They are keeping her from a relationship with her dad & sending her running when things get tough. Do the men have what it takes to slow her down & make her see what she has right in front of her befoe its too late? One thing I truly enjoy about this authors books, her stories have an actual story! Sure, its about a whole lot of holy hotness as well, but a wonderful story as well. This book was intense, exciting, erotic, steamy, sexy & tear inducing! I ran the entire circle of emotions & the feels! Enjoy!
