Rating: 5 out of 5

I read a lot of romantic fiction that takes place in  the British Isles during a time period when I would not have wanted to be born a woman. I have now read two series by this author and will read more. Ms. Domning's  efforts in including "history lessons" with the romance do not come across as stuffy or over-bearing, but add to the stories because the history and culture of the times have so much to do with how the characters act and react as the setting creates much of the conflict.As with Domning's  Warrior series, each book in this five book set can stand as a complete story. In each book the love story of  one of the brothers  is played out and the conflicts are all  brought to a satisfying conclusion. Characters may reappear in the subsequent stories and that is welcome because the reader will come to know and love them.  Much can be predictable in most romance novels, and the Seasons series is no exception, ( he gets the girl) but each book presents new twists and turns that keeps you turning pages and moving on to the next book. Although the author says they may be read in any order-and they can- I  recommend reading them in the order presented in this boxed set.  I enjoyed the handsome men with their varied personalities and shared values and the strong women who loved them. Strong story-telling.
