This is another great set of books from the authors Ms. Domning, Ms Kean, Ms. Knight and Ms. O’Donnell for a good price.  I really liked all of the books in the set and gave the entire set four stars.  Below is a brief review and what I would have rated each book individually.A lady’s charade was a pretty good book.  I really liked the strong courageous heroine Chloe and despite her fear of unknown situations and people was not afraid of facing her fears.  She stood up to anybody even the brutal mean hero Alexander known as the “dragon” by everyone due to his ruthless cold treatment of even all the people that loved and fear him.  In fact the first parts of the book I just didn’t like him and wanted Chloe to either harm or kill him but as the book progressed Chloe was able to tame him.  Alexander was still a dragon of sorts but around her he really was deep down a nice guy.  I mean who couldn’t love that he was a bad guy on the outside but really a teddy bear on the inside?  There was one thing that did spoil my reading enjoyment of this book there was quite a few spelling errors which I don’t know if it was by putting all these books together if it caused more formatting issues to this book than other; that sometimes I had to read sometimes sentences, paragraphs and even chapters over again just to get that particular point the author was trying to make.  Even with all the spelling errors I still rated the book three stars.Out of all the books I have read from Ms. Kean I think the dance of desire is my favorite!  I couldn’t help but have a crush on Fane the mysterious elusive handsome hero known as the high sheriff of Warringham.  I really thought I wouldn’t like him in the first couple of chapters but as the book progressed he had so much depth to him.  He was sensitive, caring and not a cold-hearted brute like I was led to believe he tried to keep things hidden especially his feelings and past but he couldn’t especially around the spitfire heroine Rexana who seemed more heartless than Fane at times caring only for her brother and not considering Fane’s feelings at all.  Despite all this the story was really good with lots of action, mystery, intrigue, spies, politics, deception and so much more the book kept me entranced until the very end in fact I didn’t want the story to end that I rated the book five stars.I did like the story midnight shadow and the concept of a masked female swashbuckler heroine saving them from a tyrannical overlord.  The heroine Bria was beautiful but brave after witnessing horrendous circumstances and unspeakable behavior from the domineering hero Terran.  The only thing it seemed that Terran had going for him was he was good-looking in fact I couldn’t see what Bria saw in him anyway?  Plus the relationship seemed to be all built on lust.  Half the time Bria either acted like she hated Terran but also wanted to jump in bed with him.  I also wanted a little back story on who the actual midnight shadow was maybe perhaps it was actually Bria’s grandfather it kind of alluded to that fact but never actually stated it.  Even with all this I still rated the story four stars.The last book spring’s fury I already had in my library but didn’t mind reading it again.  It’s really a good well-written story!  The heroine Nicola had so many things happen to her but would not only fight physically all the odds but still was such a strong and intriguing person.  It did annoy me at first how she was described plain and due to her ability to wield a sword came across to me as being uncomely to look at by nearly everyone except the hero Gilliam who also did strike me as being a vain person.  I kept seeing in my mind a murdering pretty boy who can't avoid looking in the mirror but as the book progressed both characters kind of grew on me and that was just one side of them.  The book had lots of politcal intrigue, interesting side characters, twists and turns that I rated the book four stars.
