The Deadly Series Boxed Set. Jaycee Clark.Well, there's been a number of boxed sets released recently, usually different authors which is great for trying new ones, but this is the entire series from Jaycee about her wonderful Kinncaid family, Each book is a stand alone, but the men feature in multiple books so its like reading about friends. It is romance, but romance with a gripping, adventurous, suspense side factored in. Its not a sickly, sweet man+meets+woman=they live happy ever after. They do get their happy ending, but via a twisting, torturous, enthralling route which takes them through danger, heartbreak and misunderstandings.The books are best read in order to follow how they develop, that way its easier to work out who is who and how they fit together. The titles are Deadly Shadows, Deadly Ties, Deadly Obsession, Deadly Games, and Deadly Secrets, and as you can see the danger element via the use of deadly in the title gives a strong hint as to the sort of action contained in them. If you're a lover of suspense novels don't sit and read for 20 mins, thinking you can then put the book down and get on with something else - you can't, you'll be gripped by the story. For me suspense is a secondary factor to the enjoyment, I enjoyed these very much but I needed to read other different genre novels between them, I can't take back to back suspense in the same way as I can back to back paranormal for instance. Its just how I am, fortunately everyone likes different things so we get a range of novels. If suspense and thrillers are your main reading (as they were mine a few years back ) then you'll probably enjoy a whole series to read on one fell swoop. Its going to take a while though, as they are full sized novels. I don't have length info but six full sized books for 6.37 has to be terrific value.NB: ARC supplied via NetgalleyStars: four.
