Fatal Series Boxed Set, Books 0.5-3.5
Prequel One Night With You , Written for readers wondering about the “memorable” one-night stand between Sam Holland and Nick Cappuano that took place six years before Fatal Affair opens!
Book 1: Fatal Affair , Washington, D.C., Metro Police Detective Sergeant Sam Holland needs a big win to salvage her career—and her confidence—after a disastrous investigation. The perfect opportunity arises when Senator John O’Connor is found brutally murdered in his bed, and Sam is assigned to the case. Things get complicated when Sam has to team up with Nick Cappuano, O’Connor’s friend and chief of staff…and the man Sam had a memorable one-night stand with years earlier. Sleeping with a material witness is another mistake she can’t afford—especially when the bodies keep piling up.
Book 2: Fatal Justice , Standing over the body of a Supreme Court nominee, Lieutenant Sam Holland is hip-deep in another high-profile murder case. That she was one of the last people to see Julian Sinclair alive only complicates things even more. With her relationship with Senator Nick Cappuano heating up, they’re attracting a lot of unwanted media attention and blinding flashbulbs. The pressure is on for Sam to find Sinclair’s killer, but a new lead in her father’s unsolved shooting puts her in unexpected danger. When long-buried secrets threaten to derail her relationship with Nick, Sam realizes that while justice can be blind, mixing romance with politics has the potential to be fatal.
Book 3: Fatal Consequences, The murder of two members of the Capitol Cleaning Service might’ve been just another homicide investigation if one of them hadn’t been romantically involved with a married senator from Arizona. Lt. Sam Holland and her team are plunged into another complex case that at first seems routine. But as Sam tugs on the threads of the investigation she uncovers a deep, dark Washington secret that threatens the careers of some of the government’s highest-ranking officials. Racing to catch a killer before he can strike again, Sam and her fiancé, U.S. Senator Nick Cappuano, attempt to plan a wedding while her colleague Detective Tommy “Gonzo” Gonzales faces life-changing news.
Wedding Novella: Fatal Destiny, With the week of their wedding finally upon them, Washington, D.C., Police Lieutenant Sam Holland and her fiancé, Senator Nick Cappuano, are at odds. In the aftermath of a tragic loss, they struggle to reconnect as the big day draws near and their work keeps pulling them apart. When a new clue in a cold case surfaces, Nick asks Sam not to take any foolish chances before the wedding and to leave it alone for the time being. Sam agrees, but she can’t let it go entirely and winds up trapped in an explosive situation. Then an unwelcome visitor from her past threatens her future happiness. With trouble at every turn, will Sam survive long enough to walk down the aisle?

Fantastic series.
Wow! This book has been on my tbr list for a long time. Once I started, I couldn’t stop reading this until I finished. It’s so good. It starts off with a prequel of Sam and Nick first hooking up 6 years ago. I love that she allows only him to call her Samantha. I could really feel their love. But 6 years go by and they meet again when his best friend is killed. So much happens and I loved staying on edge. They were so great together. I did have happy tears towards the end when we finally get their wedding. I highly recommend each book in this series and I highly recommend this box set.

I have these books as paperbacks and when I saw that there was a boxed set with all these books...it was ONE CLICK for me!
The prequel novel on how they met up to their marriage is included and is fabulous! So much great reading. I love to be able to go from one story to the next.
Worthwhile purchase and a great storyline.

Sam as the detective In this mystery, was such a beautiful person “inside and out”’ she knew how to play “come hither” to her suspects, bejewel them and it’s her many facets. Senator Nick was enthralled with her. Tried to control her , but Sam out maneuvered him. The plots were enthralling. A must read.

Snark, lust, love, sadness, loyalty
A truly enjoyable saga. From Sam and Nick's first encounter through their marriage. I really enjoy that most of the family and friends around them are not perfect, not horrible--human! Although sometimes, I truly believe Nick is a saint, but at least Sam realizes it!!

Fatal 1-3.5
I do enjoy this series, but there is really, really a lot of sex. That's totally realistic for young couples, but I don't want to hear about all the details. They also seem to have more than their share of misadventures. I don't mind, but if you are one who wants the story to be more realistic, you may not like this.

The books are fantastic!
The editing on the other hand needs work. I read this series every year, so I know what is supposed to be in them and what isn’t. Entire paragraphs repeat themselves, which can be overlooked, but it’s a bit confusing. The books are 5 stars for sure.

What a captivating series! Each book so meticulously thought out and executed. The characters so thoughtfully transcribed you expect them to walk off the page. Each volume brings more of their adventures into exacting detail until you can’t wait to see where they go next

Love beyond barriers
What a mix of crime investigation that led to unexpected criminals, all into a political background. Crime, sex, and love intertwined with suspense. All of these keep the readers' attention from beginning to end and wishing for more. Thank you!

Great story
Warning graphic sex, this is a series of books in which you get to know multiple characters lives. The main story is following a policewoman and falling in love with the main character who works for the federal government. A great book to re-read.

I'm Hooked
I am really enjoying this series. The combination of a feisty, emotionally, conflicted female cop and a sexy, caring politician, provides for many opportunities to solve intriguing crimes. Can't wait to read the next set of series.

Three and A half books starting with Sam and Nick's prequel through their marriage. Together they wade through the relationship waters while both are advancing in their careers. There is so much more to come from Sam and Nick. Enjoy their story.
