This story was fantastic to read. I love it when there are multiple characters vying for one main character and there is no having to choose. Brooklyn is a very complex woman. She has gone through some stuff and seen some stuff. She’s running from everything that makes her feel because it’s easier to handle In walks Aiden, Gideon, Oliver, Jaxon, and her world is about to turn topsy turvy. They push her boundaries and make her feel things she’d rather not feel anymore, and confront her darkest secrets. The chemistry between the 5 of them is undeniable and so well balanced out. There’s no favoritism, everyone has their balance and it works. Brooklyn’s story has kept me captivated and wanting more. I can’t wait to see what happens in book two and where the guys take her.

Brooklyn Reeves is thinking of ditching her best friend for a quite night in as Clubs is really not her scene, but the more Ash pushes her she is succumbing to the idea, plus it is one of the hottest clubs in town Club 4.
Once inside she feels eyes upon her not in a creepy way but a sexual chemistry kind of way until she is introduced to not but two good looking men, once on the dance floor she is covered with warm and trust with these two men and ask it becomes more intense she realises what she is doing and runs away in embarrassment.
Jaxson and Oliver are part of the “Club Kings” four brothers who forged a family from trust and courage not blood, but when they see the blonde walk in the club they are instantly drawn to her. As they have shared in the past this is nothing different but they have a deep feeling of protection for this beautiful woman, until she gets scared and runs from them. Week’s of trying to find her comes to nothing until one chance meeting may change there and the other brother’s lives forever.
They know she is hiding a secret but will they uncover it and can Brooklyn trust her attraction for all four of the men and will she let her guard down enough to live life.
This is the first book I have read but this author and oh my what a read. I always love a flawed character and this book had lots of them, the four men together have forged a bond of survival which plays into each character and shows each are loyal to the end for each other and there charges which was brilliant to read. I especially loved the character of Brooklyn with her visible and hidden scars which seemed to make her more determined to carry on with life even at times she struggled with anxiety but not letting it become her was a brilliant lesson to learn.
There are triggers in this book and if you are uncomfortable with aspects of mental abuse and stalking I may caution you alittle bit with the storyline, but overall the writing was brilliant it draws you into the story and makes you believe you are part of the world and invested in the characters as this is book 1 I can’t wait to get my teeth into the next instalment.

From the moment their eyes they see each other something changes and I think it’s for the better.
Brooklyn has her professional life in order, she is in charge for a large non profit. Her personal life is not nearly as in order. She has one close friend and a closet full of secrets.
The guys are Oliver, Jaxon, Gideon & Aiden the Knight Bothers who have built themselves into something impressive. They started with nothing but one another as kids, bow as adults they still have one another and so much more.
The sparks fly from the pages as you’re reading this book starting in Chapter One and the heat only continues to rise from there.
I already have the next book on my TBR and will be reading it as soon as possible.

Brooklyn is isolating herself at home and not living her life to the fullest and prefers it that way. Her best friend has a celebration at a club and Brooklyn has no choice but to go. She’s ends up drinking and dances with two men. One brushes her scar. Which sets Brooklyn off and she runs away. It’s like fate and she comes across them once again.

This book absolutely blew me away and I loved every second of it!! I haven’t read anything by this author before so I went in not expecting too much from the storyline, but WOW was I proven wrong! Brooklyn has been through a lot in her life and assumes that surface level relationships are all she’s worthy of. Little does she know that there are two incredible (and hot) men that are ready to show her that she has so much to experience and love about herself. If you love why choose romances with TONS of spice and steam, this is the perfect book for you! It has a great storyline, in-depth characters, drama, and did I mention steamy scenes? I just picked up the second in the series as I cannot wait to see what this marvelous author has in store for us next!

After reading the blurb of Taming Brooklyn I was still unsure what to expect with this book, I was most certainly not prepared for how involved I would get in this story, and how much I would really enjoy reading it. I mean I finished this book in one day! Brooklyn has a lot of scars because of an incredibly tragic and tumultuous past. She hides herself away and doesn’t enjoy life because she is utterly terrified and embarrassed until one night she agrees to go out dancing with her roommate before she leaves on a work trip and her entire world changes when she meets the Knight brothers. She is enamored with them and her life with them in it until her unfortunate past comes calling. Boy, was this book spicy and definitely shouldn’t be read by anyone under the age of 18 due to the mature content, explicit scenes, many triggers, and violence but it was so much more than that. When you start you are thrown directly into Brooklyns life now and you don’t know much about what has happened in the past but that is slowly remedied throughout the storyline. I’ve read a lot of similar books and nothing I have come across had such spicy, well thought out, tasteful content but followed along with an edge of your seat, nail biting, thrill ride of a story. This was such an enjoyable read! I can’t wait for more!

This is the first book in The Club Kings Series and wow it is hot! Brooklyn has a lot in her past that makes her not trust easily. She is just lucky to be alive after all that she has been through. When she meets The 4 Knights they are very much her knights in, well not shining armor but in well made suits. This is a why choose romance and I can see where it would be hard to choose between these 4 men. I can’t wait to read the next book to see what happens next.

Do you like why choose?! Do you like steamy? Do you like “damaged” FMC? Then step right up because do I have a story for you! We are met with Brooklyn, who, despite her past is making huge strides in her life. Then we are met with our “four knights” Aiden, Oliver, Gideon, and Jaxon, who are making Brooklyn question everything she knew. THIS ENDS ON CLIFFHANGER, but I am here for it and cannot wait to continue!

First of all, let me start by saying that this book comes with a trigger warning that definitely should not be taken lightly. However, having said this, I completely loved this story. I think it was very well written. It is super steamy and spicy for sure! I will say I was not expecting to be taken on this emotional roller coaster. I knew that this book would pack on the steam but I did not expect to have all the feels. Brooklyn is truly an amazing character who has overcome so much but who has also built up so many walls to keep herself safe. However, the walls she has built around her will never be tall enough, she just doesn’t realize this. She meets some amazing club owners who begin to convince her to let her guard down. Who also share a background not so different from hers. The truth is – she needs them and they need her. There is so much in this story that it is nearly impossible to put down until the very end and it leaves you wanting so much more!

I had many emotions reading this book. Brooklyn had worked super hard to get were she is at today. She had a very hard past. Her abusive ex is released from jail, now she has to watch every turn she makes. She meets Oliver and Jaxon while out with a friend. They happen to be donors of her business. The brothers have also had a rough past. Sparks start to fly the more she gets to know the boys. She also meets Gideon and Aiden, together the boys make the Four Knights. She relies on the of the boys to help protect her for her ex. The boys don’t mind at all protecting her. This book was not the story I was expecting to read, it was way better.

Steamy? – check! Why choose? – check! Multiple POVs? – check! 4 insanely scrumptiously hot men and 1 gorgeous woman with them all to herself? – check! This book was everything I never knew I wanted and more. Add in a great plot line, descriptions (peep those spicy scenes), and character development and you’ve got almost 400 pages of can’t-put-down goodness! Charlotte St. Pierre makes you feel all the feels in this book and I cannot wait to get my hands on the second one! (Thank goodness it’s out!) This is a book you definitely want to read right now (or at least add it to your TBR so you don’t forget!) It does end on a cliffhanger BUT Book 2 is already out so you can just go right in to the next one! So glad I picked this up!

This was a great 5 star read. It was a rollercoaster of a ride with everything going on. Brooklyn is a hard worker with a traumatic history. Brooklyn meets Oliver and Jaxon one night at a club. Fate steps in and they see each other again, this time there is more interaction and sparks fly between them. When Brooklyn starts getting dangerous threats, the Four Knights help her. Will they be able to keep her safe? Overall this was an edge of your seat read. I really liked how the guys got protective of Brooklyn and wanted to help her. My emotions were all over the place as well, they get you in the feels with their stories. All the characters added a great element to the story. I look forward to reading more from this author. 1-click and get started today.

This book had me completely captivated right from the very start and proved to be so, so much more than I could have ever predicted. Brooklyn has had such a very cruel past and because of that she avoids real love and relationships then along comes the 4 Knight brothers who are bound so strongly by much more than just blood ever would. They are drawn to Brooklyn and are determined to show her what love can truly do. They will do anything they have to in order to keep her safe when her past comes back to threaten her! This was a creative storyline that had me eagerly turning page after page but what truly had me completely hooked was the amazing characters created by this extremely talented author. They weaved their way into my heart and held on tight! I can’t wait for more! There is so very much I need to know. I don’t just want to know what is going to happen for them all but I NEED to know.

Brooklyn is a tough survivor, raised in the fostor system; got serious with a boyfriend who ended up attempting to kill her. She avoids anything romantic related at this point in her life. She’s worked hard to become a director of a non profit, and her roommate is going away for a couple months on a work assignment so they go out for the night to a club. Brooklyn (and let’s be honest also myself) was not prepared for the instant red hot chemistry between her and two of the “club kings”. They make her feel things and she runs… but they aren’t about to let her slip away. This book had red hot smexy scenes, Romance and action when the past comes calling for Brooklyn once again. This is an absolute can’t miss book!

Aiden, Gideon, Oliver, Jaxon – The Club Kings Are brothers but not by blood. They grew up together and decided they wanted to be brothers. One night in one of their clubs Jaxon and Oliver spot Brooklyn dancing and immediately go to the dance floor she is on and dance with her. Things get pretty heated quickly and she flees. Brooklyn has a past that she can never forget. An ex boyfriend really did a number on her and she still has scars…inside and out to remind her of it. The club kings show up at Brooklyns job for a meeting about a donation and everyone was surprised to see eachother. Jaxon and Oliver were happier than anyone because now they know who that woman was and how to find her. Brooklyn has no idea who they were and now that she does, she agrees to a dinner with Oliver and Jaxon to talk about the charity event. Aiden “the brains” behind the kings doesn’t trust her and has second thoughts about their donation. When Brooklyns past comes crashing into her present, the kings vow to keep her safe all while keeping her bed warm. I thought this book was well written but it was kinda long and wasn’t expecting the book to end the way it did. If I knew it was a cliffhanger, I probably wouldn’t have read it.

Brooklyn has a painful past that has left her scarred both mentally and physically. The trauma from her past has kept her from pursuing romance or relationships. She chooses instead to focus on work and on her days off remains close to home. When her roommate Ash asks her to go to an exclusive club with her for a night out Brooklyn is reluctant. However, Ash is insistent because it is her last night in town before heading out of the country for several months for training for her job.
Club 4 is an exclusive club that caters to the elite class, but Ash has been given VIP passes through her work. Brooklyn and Ash make the most of their evening out and Brooklyn finds that she is enjoying herself. While dancing Brooklyn is approached by two very good looking men who she instantly feels attracted to. She allows herself to temporarily get caught up in the moment until panic sets in and she bolts from the club.
To Brooklyn’s total and complete surprise she has not been able to escape that night in Club 4 or the men she ran from. She finds that these two men, Oliver, and Jaxon, along with their two brothers Gideon and Aiden, are some of the faces behind a substantial donation to the charity organization that she works for. Naturally, she is shocked and embarrassed by her behavior at the club while also feeling an intense attraction to the men standing in her office. Allowing herself to let her guard down she accepts a dinner invitation from Oliver and Jaxon. From that point on Brooklyn finds herself falling quickly for both of these men.
When someone from Brooklyn’s past shows up in her life things escalate quickly and she finds her life in danger. Not only do Oliver and Jaxon immediately come to her rescue, against Brooklyn’s wishes, but so does their brother Gideon. When he offers up his services as her personal security she finds herself attracted to him as well. Brooklyn cannot explain the attraction to these men but none seem to be jealous or insecure about her being with the other brothers.
This was an intense and steamy read. The sexual attraction between Brooklyn and the Knight brothers will leave you breathless. Most women would be envious of that type of desire with one man, let alone four of them. This was definitely not your typical love story. Oliver, Jaxon, Gideon, and Aiden were all smitten with Brooklyn and were willing to do anything for her. For them it was more than lust, they clearly cared for Brooklyn and wanted to look after her. When her ex pops up in her life all four brothers jump in to keep her safe. This book had romance, love, lust, passion, violence, danger, and intrigue. It took some twists and turns and ended on a cliff-hanger that is going to drive me crazy until I can read the next book and get some answers. I highly recommend!

I loved this book! Taming Brooklyn gave the reader so much. Happiness, sadness, pain, suffering, love, friendship, and the beginnings of a polyamorous relationship that looks like it might be spanning a few books. And you know what? I can’t wait! The way the author wrote the main characters, it pulls one in. You get invested, and you can’t help but root for them. There’s some very dark themes throughout, but there’s so much light as well. Brooklyn is broken, in every sense of the word. Mentally, emotionally, and physically, which has made her into a recluse. But one night out to bid her best friend adieu, changed all that. Jaxon and Oliver went for it and even though she ran, they knew she was something special. Unfortunately convincing Aiden and Gideon of that would be another topic. What they didn’t expect is she would be the very woman who was running a branch of the nonprofit they wanted to get involved in. What do the Knight brothers want with Brooklyn? Will her checkered past come back to haunt her? Could it ruin them? So many questions and this book only answered so many, but it’s okay because it was left open for book two! The emotional trauma these characters go through doesn’t seem real, but they are all very real scenarios that people can very well relate too. The way the author presents these past stories may put people on edge, but it gives so much to the book that has been written. The Knight brothers found each other and helped heal each other from their emotional childhood traumas, declaring themselves brothers and changing their names in the process. Will they be able to do that very thing for Brooklyn as they navigate the feelings they share for her? Will she let them? I want to keep writing but I know if I do, I’ll start posting spoilers to this book. So at this point all I’ll say is read it. Develop your own feelings and connections to these characters, just like I did.

What a well written and attention grabbing book this is. As soon as I started reading it I couldn’t out it down. I loved reading about all of the characters and the strong connection they all shared. It really pulled me in to the story. I loved the fact that is was told from.multiple points of view. Every book like this should follow suit because it works so well. I thought the overall story was good although this book really was all about the characters for me. A great book.and I can’t wait for more.

This is the first book in The Club King Series. It is a steamy romance told from multiply points of view which really brings the story to life for me and makes every character come alive. Getting the story from several points of view really gives you a deeper understanding of the character and the story and gives the characters a depth that sometimes is missing. There are some dark aspects of this story which maybe a trigger for some people such as domestic abuse, sexual assault and child neglect. Brooklyn has had a traumatic past which has left her with scars both physically and mentally. Since then she is trying to rebuild her life but she feels she carries to much baggage to move forward. One a rare night out with her friend she meets 2 men who will change her life forever. Jaxon and Oliver are owners in Club 4. Never have they felt attraction to a woman as much as they have towards Brooklyn and so they set out to get her. However things aren’t that simple. The walls Brooklyn has around herself are so high that no one can get over them. However the brothers are determined to try. And when a past danger returns to Brooklyn’s life the Brothers promise to protect her from all danger. But how can you protect someone when they won’t allow you to protect them? This story is a romance which has loads of obstacles to overcome and things get more complicated as more of the brothers become aware of Brooklyn and also become attracted to her. Is this Brooklyns chance to finally get her happy ever after with maybe more that 1 man or will her past and the danger lurking in the dark finally be too much for her to overcome.

I was not prepared for this book. I was not prepared for the feelings, the drama, the excitement, the laughter, the pure enjoyment of reading this book. If you haven’t, you should definitely read this one.
Brooklyn has worked her way to a directorship at the nonprofit she started working for as an intern in college. She has worked hard to get where she is. Brooklyn is a survivor, the foster care system and an abusive boyfriend that nearly killed her. Both her job and her life become threatened when her ex is released from jail.
One night while out dancing with her friend, Brooklyn met Jaxon and Oliver but she didn’t know who they were. It is not like they exchanged names on the dancefloor. When Jaxon and Oliver show up in her conference room as new donors for the nonprofit Brooklyn works for, the fireworks start. Jaxon and Oliver are part of an elite group known as The Four Knights. The boys grew up together, having each other’s back in the foster care system. When they aged out of the system, they decided to make their brotherhood official, all sharing the same last name. Along with Jaxon and Oliver, there is Aiden and Gideon. This foursome brings some interesting challenges for Brooklyn.
When the threats turn more deadly, Brooklyn starts relying on the Four Knights for more than just friendship. As the feelings become real, Brooklyn is scared and runs. She only gets to hide for a short time before her ex gets brave and penetrates the sense of security Brooklyn had driving her back to the Four Knights. Aiden, Oliver, Gideon, and Jaxon have no problem vowing to protect her now and forever. But will they be able to when a traitor to Brooklyn emerges from the shadows?
This book had me on the edge from the beginning. The chemistry between Brooklyn and the guys is dripping off the page. The tension from not knowing when or where her ex will strike next is tighter than a guitar string. The raw emotion that seeps each character as they discuss their past could cause your eyes to sweat. I was not prepared for this. I was expecting a steamy romp through the NYC clubs, not an emotional driven, highly intense thriller but that is what I found. And I am sticking around for more. Bring it on! Now I am ready. Now I know. I am sure the author will throw some curveballs in the next one just to keep me guessing but I feel ready. If I didn’t say it before, this book was phenomenal.

This book gave me a softer Den of Vipers vibe. I really enjoyed it. Who doesn’t want the attention of four guys? Maybe scratch out the ex drama but every girl has fantasized about multiple guys giving her attention with no jealousy on their behalf. Taming Brooklyn will have you everywhere in your own emotions, falling for the guys, fearful of her ex, and worried about her future. I too like muscular forearms. Can’t wait for the next book in this series to find out what happens!

The men in this book are hot as sin. Oliver and Jaxon are playful romantics, Gideon is the strong, protector, and Aiden is the true Alpha, quiet, calm and powerful. Yet they all are enamored by Brooklyn. The thing I am not sure about is the title of this story. It says “Taming Brooklyn” like there is a D/s relationship somewhere in this story and there is not. This is a RH story and Brooklyn is a survivor of domestic abuse and is employed by a non-profit group that helps foster kids. The four Knight “brothers” own a club and they are investing in the non-profit. Anyway Oliver and Jaxon discover Brooklyn first and they are determined to be with her. In true brotherly fashion (well normal for these brothers) they share everything. This story does have instances and talks of Rape, violence, fighting, and graphic sexual encounters with multiple partners so reader discretion required. I however loved every suspense filled page and cannot wait for book 2 since this one does end in a cliff hanger.

This book was sooo good! I couldn’t put it down, I read it in one sitting. It has everything you want and need in a reverse harem. I love that is has multiple POV, I don’t like to read books without them now. You get the full story this way. I love how Brooklyn’s past trauma only makes the guys care and love her more. The cliffy at the end almost gave me a heart attack but on to book two!

Talking about steamy, this one delivers! Yet there is so much emotion and character development that it was really enjoyable to read. I loved how Brooklyn has already mostly healed when this story starts and we get to see the trauma as backstory instead of as main plot and healing as the defining storyline. Don’t get me wrong, the history of the characters is important and has major bearing on who they are, and the past definitely drives a lot of the story, but it doesn’t directly define who our characters are. I love that Pierre walks that line with grace for the female lead so well!

I always love a book with multiple point of views. I love being able to understand what each character is thinking. This author does a fabulous job of that. You truly get to know the characters and their backgrounds which helps to thicken the plot. I suppose one of the things I did not enjoy is that this novel is 90% erotica. Do not get me wrong, they are very well written scenes. I just wanted to skip through some of those parts because I wanted to know what happened next in Brooklyn’s life.
Overall the story was incredibly written and I cannot wait to dive into the second book. The only POV you do not get to read about until the very end is Lyle’s. I audibly yelled when I saw his name as I started the chapter. That is how much emotion I had devoted into this book. I just wish it had a few less sexual scenes; it is not necessarily my cup of tea. But, if you enjoy that, then this book is definitely for you. Also, there is warning given at every corner, but take note of the trigger warnings that it contains. I highly recommend this book. It would be five stars for me if it had less erotica, but do not let that stop you from reading this intoxicating story!

Why choose, multiple POV, with 4 super HOT protective men. Absolutely. Brooklyn had a past that has caused her a lot of trauma. On a night out with her BFF she finds her catching the attention of the Club Kings. They end up figuring out things about her past and don’t go running away. Each man bring something different to the table. This book is steamy, suspenseful and sweet all at the same time.

Holy hotness! Brooklyn finds herself mixed in with all the Kings men….(run with that how you will). Get a fan, it’s hot in here. Brooklyn is just trying to survive and thinks she is a hot mess. The King boys just want to protect her. I found the story quite entertaining. A lot of steamy romance (if you can’t handle the heat, put the book down). The characters are charming. Must have more. Looking forward to the next book.

Taming Brooklyn is a delightful romance tale and is the first book in The Club Kings series. Let me tell you The Club Kings are hot! This is my first time reading anything by Charlotte and I was happy to find I liked her work. Now I will be going back to indulge in the others. I love a story that is dark and Taming Brooklyn is just that. There is steamy romance that is slow burning but then there is romance where it hits you instantly. With a dangerous ex, a stalker and sexy men who are protective and alpha what could go wrong? The answer is plenty. The story is told in multiple POV which is the best way to tell stories these days because you get a better inside look in to the true character of these fully realised complex characters. Their story is spicy, sexy, steamy and hot along with some fun. I perfect read to escape the world worries for a bit and enjoy some adult time with a healthy dose of a stiff drink. I can’t wait to read more of Charlottes work.

Loved reverse harems! This story was wonderful! I love how Brooklyn’s character is a tough and independent woman, and although scared of her past catching up is still trying to look forward to her future. Her future at her job, and with her men. Of course I fell in love with Jaxon, Oliver and Gideon right away but knew I would grow to love Aiden eventually. I love that these men don’t care about her scares, they care about her, keeping her safe and telling her how beautiful she is. If only this was real life, sigh. I can’t wait to see what comes next, since Lyle is still out there and I have a feeling I there are going to be some crazy twists coming up.
