I have read each of the books in this series.  There really is absolutely no accurate way to express the quality and magnitude of each one.  A rating system was difficult for me, I felt 5 was never high enough. Take eight brothers (all with distinctive personalities) being guided by two strong loving monarchs and you get wonderful individualized life journeys. Book 1 -8 is the detailed paths chosen by each brother to reach a fulfilled satisfying placement in their lives both professionally and personally.  Oh! What paths they are!!! Nothing smooth or easy about them-- down right treacherous at times. Full of suspense, romance, emotions (your heart will be all over the place), serious life subjects, comedy, array of family relationships, etc.  No journey or life path would be complete without characters that touch and impact in some way. Supporting and vital roles that help encourage and provide assistance when needed. You get to meet and love/dislike some amazing primary and secondary roles in these love stories. Great the way stories are extended into the next book. Each one has a HEA but you get to revisit them. The writing style and format help make for very quick and smooth reads.  It is difficult to put them down. Excellent usage of descriptive terminology so realism is felt as you read.  Book 9 does a superb job of bringing a full circle conclusion to this outstanding series.  The storyline does a great job interconnecting new and preexisting material.  Book 10(Devotion) is a sweet in depth look into the start and formation of the relationship that brought about this entire family. You get to see how the monarchs of the family found each other and fell in love.  This is by far one of the best series you will ever read.  Your reading world will forever be affected. They will have a piece of your heart when you finish. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND.  AndreaAH
