The 12 books are as follows:

2. Night with a SEAL by Cat Johnson
3. Claiming Her SEAL by Kat Cantrell
4. The Devil You Know by Morgan James
5. Final Deception (Keeper #1) by Stephanie St. Klaire
6. Familiar Threat (Keeper #2) by Stephanie St. Klaire
7. Ford by PJ Fiala
8. Trouble in a Tight Dress by Lori Sjoberg
9. Breaking His Code by Patricia D. Eddy
10. The Rookie by Kimberly Kincaid
11. Billionaire Bodyguard by Kristi Avalon
12. King by Sofia Aves
Whew. That took a while- I had to intersperse other books to maintain my sanity. Frankly after over 2000 pages of romance novellas, they've all begun to blend together and my brain is glazing over. I think I may have lost several IQ points over the last month, even though I have really tried to alternate these books with more intellectual books.
Overall, not a great impression. The editing was obviously left up to the individual author's, as some. were good, some okay, and a few almost unreadable. The anthology certainly did not have a managing editor.
While some of the books have merit, they don't do each other any favors by being clumped together in an anthology. I read this so you wouldn't have to. My suggestion: check out one or two of the individual books that are rated highly and appeal to you, and skip the anthology.

Defending Kieran by PJ Fiala
Another great addition to the Ghost Series. This is the prequel where we learn how GHOST was collaborated. Dane is now retired from the Army and trying to figure out what to do next in his life while raising his daughter with the help of his mom after the loss of his wife. While dropping off his daughter he meets Keirnan his daughters teacher and there is an instant connection. Keirnan brings a spark into his life he hasn't felt in a long time. As they start a relationship things start to happen that have Dane wanting to protect and keep her safe. When Keirnan is suddenly kidnapped Dane teams up with Keirnan's dad and some military friends to get her back. Wonderful love story with a combination of action and suspense. I look forward to reading more from this series.

Reviewed: King (Z Boys) by Sofia Aves
Noah is a military brat and grew up on the bases where his dad worked. When Noah was old enough, he joined the military, becoming a sniper. Now he is one of the Z Boys. Chrissy is a travel blogger. She and Noah meet in Cambodia when he saves her life. This story has plenty of action, romance, and steam, ending in a HEA and a cliffhanger. This collection is highly recommended.

I loved most of the books in this box set but I couldn't give it 5 stars due to the last book - King. There were too many proofreading issues, and I just did not enjoy the book. Sometimes it takes me a couple of chapters to really get into a book, but I realized when I was starting the 6th chapter I was still completely unimpressed and uninvolved. Overall, the box set was great, barring, (in my opinion) the final book in the set.

These amazing authors have come together to give us a wonderful selection of stories with this collection. Each story pulls us into the lives of the characters and does not let go.

Awesome
All the books were well written and no cliffhangers. Each book is part of a series but each book has an ending. They lure you into wanting to read the next book to find out what happens to the other characters.

This was an entertaining group of stories. Some better than others. Some I didn't want to end, others could have been shorter. If you are looking for a long weekend read without any interruptions, this would the series though. It will keep you guessing.

Really loved this collection !
Great storylines: the majority of them are gripping, full of emotions, steam, drama, love and great friendships; leading characters are strong and nicely supported by very good secondary characters.
Highly recommendable :)
