This box set is a fantastic deal! Several authors I haven’t heard from, and a few that I had. So at $.99, I couldn’t beat it! I’ll give you some quick reviews on 4 books! No spoilers….just how I liked the books!Getting Out of Hand by Erin Nicholas:Erin Nicholas is my favorite. That’s no secret. I love her and anything she does. She was the #1 reason I got this box set! However, after falling totally and completely in love with her Bradford/Dixon series….it was hard for me to imagine loving a completely new, unrelated series. BOY WAS I WORRIED FOR NOTHING! WOW. From page 1 of this story, the Bradfords and Dixons were both far from my mind! I fell hook, line and sinker for Sapphire Falls and all of its residents. It was so fun meeting a whole new cast of characters and learning all their different personalities. I loved it. Mason Riley….what can I say?? Nerds have never been so hot!! And Adrianne Scott was the perfect mix of confident and unsure for me. Their chemistry grabbed me from the very beginning and didn’t let go! You’ll also meet the other girls that the next 3 books are about….and they are fantastic, funny, bitchy, crazy and wonderful! In this book you’ll find a sexy nerd, a woman who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to give the details, a whole lotta hotness, heartbreak, love, tears and happily ever after. This is the perfect start to a brand new series!Temping Love by Melanie Shawn:I have read one other book by Melanie Shawn and to be honest, it wasn’t my favorite. I liked it, but didn’t love it. Well….that’s not how I felt about Tempting Love! I really really liked this one! It’s book 5 in their Crossroads series. I was apprehensive about reading it, because I hate starting in the middle of a series, no matter that it can be read as a standalone. However, I read it and now I want to start at the beginning of the series and read all of them! Eddie Thomas and Haley Sloan had some of the most intense sexual frustration I have ever read. He wanted her bad…but knew he needed to stay away. She wanted him and saw no reason to stay away. This story line worked for me! Eddie was the hot single dad, and Haley was the sweet girl next door (well, across the street anyways). Eddies little girl was so cute and added something real to this story. Loved it! Intensity, love, laughter, family, drama and STEAM is what you’ll get with this one!Sweet To You by Jessie Evans:Well, with the good, you usually have the not so good. I hate giving negative reviews, but this one just wasn’t for me. The potential was there for sure. Good story line, fun characters, the right amount of drama (for me anyway), but it just fell flat. From the beginning I noticed that the transitioning in the writing was off. It didn’t seem to flow very well.  Some of the terminology used threw me for a loop as well…even though I understood it was meant as a joke, I just couldn’t take it (“love-rod”). Maddie is a sweet bakery owner who is ready to move on from her divorce after 6 years of marriage. Jamison was a bad boy who loved women. These two knew each other their entire lives and after one night at a singles retreat and some whiskey, quickly decided to make it more. This book wasted NO time getting between the sheets (or in the water). There really was no build up to their first hook up, it just happened quickly. A lot of potential with this one, but it came up short.Finding The Right Girl by Violet Duke:This book is a spin-off from Violet’s A Nice Guy series. I didn’t read that series, but had no problem jumping in with this one. I’m not exactly sure what to say about this book…other than it left me feeling  happily broken hearted. This was a rip your heart out kind of romance for me. I had a roller coaster of emotions reading this one. If someone would have warned me….I don’t think I would have read it. I’m glad I did, it was good. But not the typical HEA that I always prefer! Dedication, love, understanding, tears, joy and, oddly enough, hot sex is what’s in store for you with Finding The Right Girl.Happy Reading!!
