Cinderella Chronicles Box Set
80,000 words
Sexy on the sweeter side -- more my Blaze level heat -- but there will be some sizzling sex for sure!
*******NOTE BE WARNED ************
These are stories Lisa wrote many years ago for Ellora's Cave. They are much lighter than her INSIDE OUT TRILOGY and her Tall, Dark, and Deadly series. They are more like her Blaze stories that are light contemporary reads. So please don't look for that dark gritty read you get with the other two series. Light and fun and a much different author voice.
Story 1: One Night Forever
A Modern Day Fairy Tale! Who doesn't want their own Prince Charming?
She's a struggling good girl taking care of a sick mother. He's the hot one night stand that she dared indulge in a year before...and now he's her sexy, rich new boss. Lauren Reynolds' obsession with the sexy, cutting edge soap opera "Red Hot Secrets" used to be her hottest secret. But now she has a bigger one. More daring. More dangerous. One year ago, on a sultry summer night, she slept with a stranger. But not just any man, one who later turned out to be her boss.Fate has thrown Lauren into the arms of a man who takes her to the absolute edge of passion, but will he destroy her career in the process? She knows she should turn away from temptation, but she convinces herself she deserves just one more night...over and over again.And now, her red hot secret might steal her heart.
THE HOTLY EVER AFTER STORIES 1 and 2:
Pleasure with Purpose
Heather and Brad have been close family friends for ten years but both have secretly pined for each other, secretly fantasized about one sultry hot night together. So when fate delivers them a chance at that night -- will they take it -- and risk a lifetime of friendship being destroyed? Or will they convince themselves they can really wake up tomorrow and pretend it never happened?
Twice the Pleasure
Samantha's fiancé is rich and handsome, and as an added plus he moves in her father's business circle. But Samantha feels uncertain. Logic says love and passion are about youth and fairy tales. Still...deep in her heart there was one man who still calls to her. The one who left her and never looked back. Eric.Young and foolish, Eric walked away from the woman he loved, tired of her father's snobbery. When Eric learns Samantha is getting married, he knows he has to act. Eric plans to conquer Samantha's heart no matter how down and dirty he has to get.When Eric shows up at Samantha's bachlorette party, she figures one last romp between the sheets with him might prove Eric isn't the hot lover or "love" her mind and heart have conjured up all these years. But soon passion burns like never before, and Samantha might just have an addiction she can never beat...Eric.
Sexy on the sweeter side -- more my Blaze level heat -- but there will be some sizzling sex for sure!

A little more tame than most of Lisa's other books, but still a good read for the price!
The only reason it didn't get 4-stars is due to the duplicated use of the main characters name - Lauren Reynolds - in "one night forever" which is the same main character name as "hot secrets" but the characters are completely different people... Definitely throws you off a bit.

I enjoyed this box set. The set contains three short stories that were fun to read and interesting. This was my first time reading some of Lisa's earlier work and it shows in her writing in that these stories are more tame than her recent series. However, even with not as much eroticism I enjoyed these stories and would recommend them to others!

Romantic, fun, journeys
The author is a favorite of mine. Three novellas, love, romance, & struggles. Very contemporary scenarios, unbelievable characters, & emotional challenges.

"One Night Forever" was a one night stand love at first sight office romance. "Twice the Pleasure" was a second chance romance, and "Pleasure with Purpose" was a from friends to lovers romance.
"One Night Forever" was my favorite story in the series. I really connected with the chemistry between the characters and the storyline was easy to follow.
I also love the title.
In "Twice the Pleasure"
I didn't like that Samantha was denying her true feelings and forcing herself to get married... I was glad there was a real prince charming that could save the day.
"Pleasure with Principle" was my least favorite in the series but I'll admit it was a believable hot and steamy fantasy worth reading.
I am such a fan of Lisa Renee Jones, I would read almost anything from her. Although this series is not as deep as her newer series it does not disappoint.
Overall, I love the title of the series"Cinderella Chronicles", it speaks to the very purpose of why I read and the stories are true to life and fun to read.

I read all three books in this set separately and loved all of them. Simple, short stories that are big on sex and romances and without a whole lot of complications and drama. They are all straightforward light contemporary romances - more like Harlequin series romances than some of the author's other books which are darker and suspenseful. In my opinion, Twice the Pleasure was the weakest of the trio, but both Pleasure with Purpose and One Night Forever were great romances!

I've read book one but haven't read books 2 and 3 yet.
Book one was good and hot. Loved the storyline. I wish there was more after the point the author ends the book... want to know what happens next.

All three short stories are enjoyable in their own! I would have to say my favorite is About Pleasure With Purpose! Heather and Brad heat up the pages!

I already read the first book of this set. I enjoyed the other two stories as well. They are short but still worth reading

This was a very well written Boxed set. The only thing I would have changed was book 2 being a little longer or making him work for her more. Lisa Renee Jones is an amazing author!

Really fun box set! Each story is something new and different; characters and situations change. Not what I was expecting but I loved the reads! Thanks Lisa, for always keeping me wide-eyed!
