Where do I begin? I have read the first two stories and midway through the third one. In this boxed set there are nine (9) I/R stories from nine (9) amazing and talented authors!!You are seduced immediately by Renaldo while crying, laughing and growing with Kyra in Rallenti by Sienna Mynx. Renaldo is a man of mystery and finds that he is falling in love with a woman that is in the midst of a life crisis.  His job and his love come into conflict and that is where things get good.  Now go buy this boxed set and read it for yourself.  By the by - this book is connected to the Battaglia Mafia Series.Reeve Leighton makes you long to slap him upside his head while laughing at Affrica O'Shea's perfect handling of him, his aggression and passion in Raw Exposure by Aliyah Burke. Reeve has a lot of growing up to do and because he is finding himself enamored and even in love with Affrica, he has to make some hard choices and change his ways.  Affrica finds she will have to face a few demons and even deal with her over protective brother Aidrian.  Reeve finds himself at odds with his brother Lieutenant Commander Scott "Harrier" Leight and the rest of the Megalodon Navy SEAL Team over his interest and attraction to Affrica.  Will Reeve step up and man up or will he walk away from the woman that calls to him on every level?  Read it and find out!!!  I particularly love this story because it is connected to the Megalodon Team Series.I'll be back to update as I finish more books in the boxed set! I am so enraptured at this point.07/09/2014 UpdateI am breathless at this point. I have read 3 more stories and here are my reviews on them:Pepper Pace took me through some emotions with Everything is Everything! Vanessa and Scotty came from similar backgrounds but have not let that crush them. Family and friends are working against them and they are facing an uphill battle. I am borderline hating her aunt and cousin for their duplicity and fakeness. Scotty's boy G is a lowdown no count piece of crap! But I digress and I don't want to give up too much. I don't know how the story ends because I have to wait for Part II and I am already stalking Amazon for it.I have not read anything by Tiana Laveen until this boxed set. I was so completely captured by Justin and Milan's love story in Tattooed Moon. Justin's unconventional approach to life helped Milan through the devastating loss of her mother and the stress of her job. Milan's quiet strength and affirming love gave Justin back his heart. I cried, cheered and laughed and loved with Justin and Milan and was soo happy with the ending.In Vasily's Revenge, Author Latrivia Nelson did a masterful job in drawing you into an Vasily and Lilly's love story!!!! I have not read the connecting series The Medlov Crime Family but I will be doing that very soon!! But I have digressed. I loved this story so much because it told of the good in a man living a not so good life and a woman controlled by her life's choices until a fateful night. After that night, Lilly was forever changed and so was Vasily. Fast forward nearly 10 years later and things have changed drastically for Lilly but her attraction to Vasily and his for her has not changed but gained strength. They will need every bit of the strength to survive what lies ahead.07/14/2014 UpdateI have finished the last four books and ... and ...WOW!!!The Wrath of Michael by Serenity King is the second book in The Alesi Men Series.  Michael Alesi meets Kendra the sister-in-law to his cousin Piero and the fireworks begin.  Kendra is feisty and I can relate to her so well, at times it was like looking in a mirror, but I digress.  Michael has to save Kendra from a bad situation and that rescue leads to romance between the two.  There is the apparent suicide death of a family friend and that makes things somewhat weird.  There is also a shadow figure that talks to several characters and visits Michael's brother Nicco in the hospital.  A few loose threads and Serenity leaves you jonesing for the third book in this series.Yvette Hines' Sieged by Rym is a Sci-Fi/Shifter erotic novel.  This was a departure from the books I have read in the past by the sassy Ms. Hines.  I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Krysteena and Rymingten.  Krys, as Rym calls her, has kidnapped Rym and let's just say the journey they embark upon is hot and majii-cal.  Rym is a cat shifter and discovers Krys is his mate and there is nothing he won't do for her and the same can be said for Krys.  When Krys' home planet comes under attack while visiting Rym's family, what will happen?  Will Rym stay on his home world or will he join Krys and defend her home world?  Buy this boxed set and find out the outcome!  Trust me, you will enjoy this book as much as I did.Bridget Midway's Last CallDouble Trouble by Erosa Knowles closes out the story of the O'Connor Men.  This book is a part of The Men of 3X CONstruction series.  I sooo love this series because it presents heroes with stained pasts that rise above their past to an awesome present.  In this book we find the twins Donald and Blaine have just found out one of them is a father to the one woman that they both loved and fought over 16 years before.  The journey to discovery of the parentage is fraught with betrayals both friend and family, reconciliation and a love restored.  This is another excellent series that takes ownership of you.Thank you is so inadequate for the literary gifts in this boxed set.  But I offer my most sincere gratitiude to these Dynamic Divas of Sensual Romance!!
