One of the first things that drew me to this set was the unique plot-line.Think instantaneous space travel, except that you're traveling to different plane of reality instead of just through space.  Each plane has their similarities and their differences.  The characters are all basically humans, but their differences are in the culture that their plane espouses.  All three stories take place in the same plane, Plane 187 (you can reach over 400 planes using the Divinity's technology), which is a plan whose humans have entirely devoted themselves to medical care.  Public health is the #1 issue, the leader is the Medical Supreme, and currency is basically research funding.  Other planes can send their sick there, and can also send their own doctors for training.All three stories are different but are also intertwined.  Each story has a hero and a heroine, the heroines all come from other planes and cultures, and there's some miscommunications because of that.  There's also a power-mad baddie, just to make things more interesting.  And these books are VERY interesting. I found the interplay between the established cultures to be as fascinating as the different cultures themselves.  The world (well, planes) and cultures are easily dealt with and explained well enough to make the story believable and entertaining without over-explaining, leaving plenty of room for the relationships to develop.If you're looking for clean romance, this isn't it, but if you're looking for some romance with some hot, steamy scenes (quite a few), an interesting plot, and well developed characters, this is a fantastic little bundle for a great price.  Even though several of the characters jump into bed right away, it didn't bother me, because they still took the time to develop the relationships afterwards.  =)  All around, very enjoyable!
