I was lucky enough to be given a couple of books from this collection as ARCs. Having read these I knew that I wanted to read the rest of the collection and delayed writing my review until I had devoured all of the books. Devour them I did, yes there were some I enjoyed a lot more than others but the collection as a whole is not to be sniffed at. There are some that are stand alone novels and there are others that are the beginning of a story but all are well worth a read on their own merits.
The Billionaires Muse
This was the opening book of the collection and, although I did enjoy it, I will openly admit that I found the dialogue, at times, to be cringe worthy for want of any better term. The leads in this I found difficult to connect with, however the story itself was intriguing and seeing the relationship unfold between them was interesting. The use of art was an inspired idea and this was saved the book from being forgettable.
The CEO and the Girl from the Coffee Shop
This book is the 1st in a series and the second part, The Pleasure in Surrender, will be available in November. However this could easily be read as a stand alone in my opinion. The story centres around Beth who is struggling to pay her way through college while working in a coffee shop where the highlight of her day is when Gabriel comes in to buy his coffee. On hearing her problems he presents her with an offer that she cannot refuse. Yes it is a story of the billionaire and his maid but add the steamy scenes and it is a good little read!
Yes, Mr Collins
This I will be honest with you was one of my least favourite books of the collection. The story just didn’t connect with me. You have the strict, almost too strict, Mr Collins and Natasha his secretary who quite simply I wanted to slap and say ‘get a grip, are you stupid’. The use of the terms pet and prey just were not my idea of a romance, that being said this is my personal opinion and other will like this story. It just wasn’t for me.
My Rockstar Billionaire
This story was a good one but very obviously the beginning of a story. Belle, who is on a working vacation, and who has had her confidence knocked by a cheating ex meets the gorgeous Ricky and begins a passionate holiday romance with him with no expectations beyond the here and now. However it is clear that Ricky is holding some secret back. That secret alas we are not to discover in this instalment, we can only guess from the title what that may be! Guess if you really want to know you’d have to wait for instalment number to like me!
Heidi and the Kaiser
This was another book that I enjoyed. You have a young woman working in a job she hates in an industry that she loves. In steps the enigmatic Warren Kaiser who promotes her from her go-fer position to his professional and personal secretary. Mr Kaiser is a strict man with special tastes but Heidi finds herself falling for him just the same. However with the introduction of a person she knew and who had stolen her ideas and is now passing them off as their own work can their fragile relationship survive what could be seen as Heidi’s jealousy? Can Mr Kaiser forget himself and fall for Heidi? Well you’ll have to read it to find out!
Gloria’s Secret
Gloria is a woman with a 15 year old secret. She is also afraid of losing control of her life and falling for someone. This ideal is shattered upon meeting Jaime Zander! It was a story that had me gripped from the beginning to the end. I will not say too much more as it would give away too much of the story, needless to say I was devastated to see that this was the beginning of a story and that I would have to wait until part way through November to see how their story concludes in Gloria’s Revenge which I will definitely be reading! Especially after what I am expecting in relation to the prospective new partner of the sleazy Victor!
Make You Mine
Again this was one of my favourites of the collection. I am unsure if this is a stand alone or if their story will continue in another book, either way I loved it! You have Daryl who works for an exclusive matchmaking service who is close to losing her job when in walks Tevin, a man who could be the answer to all her prayers! Just which ones!? He agrees to sign with the matchmaking service with the proviso that for each event he attends she grants him one date. What is this man hiding? Can she resist? Does she want to? Or will her past be the thing getting in their way? Read the book for a steamy ride that surely will not disappoint, it certainly didn’t disappoint me!
Trapped into Marriage
This was one of the books I was provided and ARC of and is one of my favourites of the collection. You have a returning soldier returning to claim his love, Keyonna, only to have had her move on. To try and convince him of this fact she throws herself at Nick Vitale who, unbeknownst to her has a fiancée that he desperately needs in order to secure his inheritance. This is a true Harlequin type romance and, due to these being a secret passion of mine, I loved this book. It may be too cliché for some but this is pure romantic escapism!!
The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire
This again is a book I received and ARC copy of and the main reason I read the others in the collection! This is an author I adore and her novels always have me either sobbing or laughing, at times both! This start to a series was no exception! Mairi is a girl who grew up knowing what she wants! What she wants is the HAE, the fact that she wants that with a Greek man, who needs to be a billionaire to boot, is all down to Harlequin romances that she was read as a young girl! I think we can all relate although my wish was always a handsome Sheikh or a hunky Italian! In walks two men who both fit the bill! The dreamy Damen Leventis and Ioniko Vlahos. So long as Mairi follows her lessons, which are the headers for the chapters complete with fantastic editor notes, what can go wrong! Answer, a lot in a small space of time! After the ending of this I cannot wait for book 2, The Art of Trusting a Greek Billionaire, coming in November! Another fantastic book by Ms Tee.
What He Wants
This is the beginning of a set of 4 books that can be bought as a bundle (indeed I have already one clicked!). It is the beginning of a story of Bristol meeting up again with the man who many years ago she called uncle Shane (no relation!). There is an attraction there but with his sexual preferences frightening her will she go back for more?
All in all this a great bundle and, for the price that it is, simply a must buy for anyone who loves romance with steam included!! There is hours and hours of reading here and I do not doubt that there will be something here to captivate everyone.

WHAT A GREAT SET OF STORIES!
(Editor's note: this box set is by multiple authors. They all have similar themes. that obviously being billionaire romance.)
I read all ten stories and liked all of them. My favorites in the book series are the ones I am going to blog about. The first one is The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire! It is by one of my favorite authors, Marian Tee! When I say I have read every book that she has written, it is true. I have read her books so many times that I can quote some of my favorite lines from her books. Thanks to her, I have learned that I am true Fangirl and not a groupie ( I should say as a side note if a certain boy band from the late 80's needs groupies I there, with bells and tassels on! LOL)! So, yes I am a total Fangirl of Marian Tee. I love her books!
THE ART OF CATCHING A GREEK BILLIONAIRE! BY MARIAN TEE
This is Marian Tee book in the bundle. It is such a great read, this book was just so sweet, romantic,sad and beautiful all rolled into one. I fell so in love with Mairi aka Ms. Yay! She had me laughing out loud, she is so great! Oh, and the whole Aunt's-reading-her-harlequin-romance-novels-as-bedtime-stories ! That was great. I could relate. I still share a love for Harlequin romance with both my Mother-in-law and my Aunt Bobbie! It was a wonderfully fast read with a great fairy-tale feel to it. It has every thing that those of us who want to see the the world through rose colored glassed need. Oh, there are two very hot and sexy Greek billionaires! Really?! What more do you need! There is a book two and I cannot wait to see what happens next.
TRAPPED BY MARRIAGE BY DEZ BURKE
This was the first book I have read by Ms. Burke. It was very engaging. I really fell in love with the way she weaved the story together. It had a very real and messy feel to it. It just click with how Nick and Keyonna fell in love. It was not easy. It was complicated and messy, but very real. I love it! I really fell in love with Keyonna and Nick's romance. It was real story about falling in love. The sexual chemistry between Nick and Keyonna was so excellent. I really enjoyed the way the couple learned not only to trust themselves but also each other. It is a great book and I cannot wait to read more by this author!
I also so mention that if you love Tawny Taylor and Selena Kit like I do, they also have really great stories in this bundle too! This bundle is only 99 cents right now. A Great Price !

I received an ARC from both authors for an honest review…
The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire by Marian Tee:
Marian Tee has absolutely become one of my favorite authors. I was hooked to her books the minute I read The Werewolf Prince and I.
Now for this wonderful story, it has all the elements of great read – it’s hilarious, shocking, swoon worthy and a great read. Mairi aka Ms. Yay (the heroine) is absolutely adorable, goofy and sweet, but she is definitely not a pushover. Now, Damen (the hero) is your typical alpha hottie billionaire that you both want to kiss and punch at the same time.
Since this is only the beginning of a serial series it leaves you wanting more. Mairi and Damen are great couple together, but it won’t be a smooth romance (of course not if it was we wouldn’t read it hehe). I can definitely see some heartache, arguments and groveling in the near future and maybe dare I say it… a love triangle.
Can’t wait to see where it goes from here COME ON November get here already.
Trapped into a Marriage by Dez Burke:
This is the first book I have read from Dez Burke and I was not disappointed in the least.
When we first me Keyonna Hayes (the heroine) she is trying to break up with her absentee military boyfriend Mark. Now don’t get me wrong I understood her reasons for wanting out of the relationship, but damn she was brutal about it. In fact, I wasn’t sure I was going to like at first, but I decided to keep going. Then we met Nick Vital (the hero), who is a massive judgmental jerk to Keyonna for no apparent reason.
Through some unforeseen circumstances (Keyonna’s fault actually), Nick’s loses his very much needed fiancé and decides that Keyonna would be a good replacement due to their sexual chemistry. Naturally, Keyonna tries to deny her attraction to Nick, but Nick always gets what he wants either through his charm, sexuality or…blackmail.
It was definitely filled with some up and downs for the characters to stubborn to admit their feelings for each other; especially, when you throw in some exes with plans to tear the couple apart before they even begin.

The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire by Marian Tee:
Another irresistible series from Marian Tee that you're going to love and will look forward to. The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire is the first book in the series and this one will had you hooked from the beginning till the very last part.
This was such a fun and swoon worthy read. I loved it and I liked how Marian blends some humor into it. The "he/she said" part at the beginning of each chapter was cute and amusing. I also find the characters interesting and very likable, especially, Mairi’s optimistic and bubbly personality and don’t forget Damen and Ioniko, the two hot and dreamy Greek Billionaires who's vying for Mairi’s attention and a chance to spend some private time alone with her. I would gladly recommend that you read this one; you might learn a thing or two from this and maybe end up catching your own Greek Billionaire. ;)
The next book will be out sometime this month, the good thing is that you can read the other stories included in the bundle while waiting for the next book. I am definitely looking forward for more of Mairi and Damen moments in the next book. And of course i hope there would be more appearances from Ioniko too. =)
That's it for now. I’m off to read another book from this bundle. I'll update this when I'm done. By the way, I recieved an ARC of this for an honest review. :)

The Art of Catching A Billionaire - I love the sense of humor of this book. The friendship between those three girls are just amazing. Plus meeting the Greek billionaire was pretty intense and steamy especially the reaction of Mairi. Some parts I couldn't stop laughing and others just makes you melt. But stupid Damen he makes me want to cry. You could feel the pain of Mairi which you'd have to read in order to find out.
While Trapped in Marriage makes you realize that what you want is there in front of you.
All books are unique but has a very steamy romance that will get you hooked up. These 10 billionaires will totally rock your world.

November 4, 2013
I did individual reviews for the books, but my favorite were Marian Tee's The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire and Dez Burke's Trapped into Marriage. I also found a few new authors to check out because of this bundle, and it's only 99 cents right now! It's ridiculous, almost makes me feel like I'm stealing...
The Billionaire's Muse:
Not bad! I've never read her work before, and the intro was hilariously fresh. Definitely some new-generation stuff going on. The thought of a crazy billionaire had its appeal, and then it changed to him only pretending, which was just as cool, but then... he wanted to commit suicide. Because his best friend/brother-from-another-mother betrayed him. I... didn't like that so much.
He tried to not be such an inconvenience for the world and so decided that removing himself from the picture would be the best option. He sounds too much like the version of me that I don't care for. :P Can't move on when I'm reading about people like me! But anyways, the sex is hot. They're both kind of crazy, lol. It was a little slow paced for me, and I like my billionaires in control, yet it was a nice experience to read about a billionaire who's not like that.
I liked the action and suspense around Malcolm's tumultrous situation. Very interesting perspective. Their artist outlook on life and craziness won me over.
The CEO and the Girl from the Coffee Shop:
Another cute read! So much lighter than the previous one, and less serious. The billionaire hires Beth to be closer to her and basically makes himself the only man in her life. XD While I was reading it, I couldn't help but think that it'd be a cute LMN movie or something.
It was entertaining, sweet and funny. It certainly got interesting when Mr. Hottie Perfect revealed his 'secret' side aka the playroom. ^.^ More brownie points! Hahaha.
Yes, Mr. Collins:
Ooo, a great quick read! Mr. Collins is super yummy in his dominance over his executive assistant. His Dom self made me a little wary, but the delivery made me more curious. ^_- Natasha is the perfectionist whom I can relate to when it comes to getting lost in my own mind after possibly making a mistake. *cringe*
I'll definitely be checking this author out!
My Rockstar Billionaire:
It's a gal with low self-esteem who's left her cheating ex who meets a guy with eyes only for her. Aday is new to me, too, and I thought the story was pretty good. Not my favorite, as her low self-esteem hit a little too close to home from another past life and thus was a little tiring. I'm more into confident characters.
And her assumptions were kind of weird, like if she sees him talking to a hot blonde and pulling away from her advancements, Belle automatically assumes that he's just like her ex? All because he attracts women he could be with? It was illogical. I wanted to tell her he wasn't flirting or giving her any reason to get mad, she got mad on her own and left him for no reason.
But insecurity can do that to you, so it wasn't too annoying because I could relate.
Heidi and the Kaiser:
Oh, what to say, what to say... I've only read Kitt's fantasy work, so it was interesting to read a slice of life (well, you know what I mean) with her usual sensual touch. Kaiser was another yummy Dom, but there were times when I wanted to choke him! She ends up being his assistant on a floor only the two of them work on, and everyone in the company basically knows what he does to his assistants behind closed doors.
But she likes it and feels that she has found her Dom. Poor girl finds out that someone's using her old stolen sketches from long ago as a new line for Kaiser's company, but she can't tell him because she thinks he won't believe her. One scene wasn't my taste of brandy; she gives a guy a blowjob to find out what his plans against Kaiser are because Kaiser tells her to do whatever it takes. Other that that, it was a hot, quick read with a happy ending.
Gloria's Secret:
This was a nice novella with action in it. Jaime was hilariously aggressive and assertive. I liked that he had no shame in basically flaunting being a man-whore, lol! The mystery made things interesting and a little more... I don't know, well-rounded? There was just 'more' which added a nice change to the theme of the box set. Unlike one of the stories, Gloria actually has a reason to storm away from her billionaire and the girl smacking on him, but everything gets cleared right up! It had a nice pace, had a little more to add and was overall a fun- and pretty intense -read.
Make You Mine:
Daryl works for a matchmaking company who is out with her friend, and it's because of her that she meets Tevin and his friend, "Andy", who's later revealed to be his brother. The guys are dressed down even though they're rich (princes, in fact!), but Daryl and her friend find them interesting enough. The rest is in the synopsis, and she falls for her client. But ooo, the prince thing? That was a huge surprise I didn't see coming! I got that Tevin was trying to find a woman who loved him as a man rather than a man with cash, but the ending was a nice twist! And he has eleven other brothers. *_* I wouldn't mind reading those books! lol
Like the other books, I found something in common with Daryl; we both tend to overanalyze things. It can be good business/school-wise, but with anything else, it's hell in the mind. Tevin was sweet but still had that exciting, domineering sexiness going on. :3 I liked this a lot.
Trapped into Marriage:
I was looking forward to this one because I love when two characters are forced to be together, only to realize that it might have been the best thing for them.
^_^
And I wasn't disappointed!!!
Keyonna is such a strong, warm woman and perfect for the cold, calculating Nick. Mark, Keyonna's boyfriend, comes back from the Navy after two years of nothing, and she tells him no when he asks to marry her, as if nothing had changed. But it did. She put more effort in their relationship than he did, and she no longer was in love with him. But Nick overhears her turning Mark down, and he assumes she is like the rest of the women who turn down good men for something better in the money compartment.
Long story short, she kisses him to get back at him about his not-so-nice comments and to prove to Mark that she'd moved on, but what she didn't plan was Nick's fiance storming in, only to storm right back out and end the wedding. Nick needed to get married before his thirtieth birthday, and with his fiance canceling out, he needs another betrothed. And he knows just where to find her.
What started out as a blackmail to marry him soon turned into a seriously hot and promising life of lust and love, but when she catches his stepmother (who's only a few years older than him) kisses him on their wedding day only minutes after he talked big about Keyonna doing her job, she runs, and a month passes before fate tells him where she is.
But then she gets into an accident, and loses memory up until the day he proposed to her.
It's another chance for Nick, and things are going great, but then they both remember what'd caused her to run away all those weeks ago. For Nick, it's his stepmother revealing to him at his office what she'd planned at the wedding. For Keyonna, it's seeing them holding each other's arms- (he was sorta close to strangling her :P) -and she runs again.
Thankfully they all got it sorted out and they lived sexily ever after with 2.5 kids and a love stronger than ever. X) Like Gloria's Secret, there was more than just a bliss of sex and dominance, which again was a nice mix-up to keep everything fresh and far from redundant.
I'm definitely looking at this author, too.
Recommend!
The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire:
OH MY GOD I NEED THE SECOND ONE NOW!
I totally should've seen the cliff-hanger coming- (it's Marian!) -but I was so getting ready to finish the other books that I assumed it'd be a full story like the others. T_T
Mairi is a special girl. Instead of being raised by her aunts (omg love them!) to dream of princes, she dreams of marrying Greek billionaires.
(Say she's a gold digger and I'll cut you... er, down)
It goes from her as a high school student being bullied for her dreams to eight years later, with her teaching English in a prestigious school in Greece to be noticed by Her One. She gets him, but he only sees her as a must-have. It isn't until she's thinking he's in love with her, too and he's determined to not be fooled by her 'calculating gold-digger' ways that she finds out he's betrothed and taken...
And has been for about five years now, since the girl was fifteen.
-_-
*.*
T_T
Weeks pass before they meet up again and he tells her he wants her (NEEDS her) in his life, but then when she accidentally mentions marriage, he tells her, "What did you think this was?" And then he says, "Did you think I broke up with my betrothal?" And THENNN THE FUCKER GOES, "I wanted you in my life as my mistress."
.
.
.
OHSHITGREEKODIDNOTJUSTSAYTHAT
And that is where their relationship endsssssss (for now) in this book. :((( UgHhHhHhHHHHHHHH
I gots to know!!! Mairi reminds me of London in that Disney series because they both go "Yay me!" Kinda cheesy but it's ridiculously adorable when it comes from Marian Tee's work. I don't know why. I think she and her refreshingly cute gals and alpha males have grown on me. :P
Damen is aggressive and knows what he wants, and he's just enough of a jerk and rich idiot to make me and my eyes sweat throughout the entire story. I liked the setting (first book to read with that kind of setting!) and I enjoyed the fast pace. It didn't linger too much on some scenes and pulled on my heart strings.
----<3----
Definite recommend and worth buying the box set for~!
(And do it NOW while it's still $0.99!)
What He Wants:
Very short but entertaining, and boy did this hit all the right spots for me. It was almost like a teaser/last encore for the box set. Bristol meets "Uncle" Shane who was her (now deceased) mother's dearest friend from ten years ago, and there is some serious chemistry going on.
He's into dominating and shows her his playroom, which freaks her out, but her need to be his scares her even more and after some hot makeout session (and then some) she runs, only to go back to him in the end when she sees him weeks later. I loved Shane and his dominating personality. *shudders* Great way to end the box set!

The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire – Marian Tee
I received this ARC for an honest review.
This is the first ever book by Marian Tee that I’ve read and I love, love, love her style of writing! Funny, snappy, witty and modern, readers (of all ages) can easily get inside the head of our gorgeous and somewhat naïve Mairi.
Mairi’s grown up on Harlequin romances as bed time stories instead of traditional fairy tales, so is it really any wonder her dreams are of marrying a Greek billionaire!! She does what she can to make these dreams come true and puts herself in the right location to succeed.
Surprising, offbeat and unpredictable, Mairi keeps you guessing what she’s going to do next and Damen, hunky Greek billionaire of her dreams, well, the man has a few things to learn! Let’s hope part two in this series brings some insight to him, because otherwise, he requires a slap upside the head!
Chuckles to be had and angst to be felt. Solid friendships and crappy co-workers. And silly males who think that women in love want to be mistresses.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and when I reached the end, my reaction was ‘What do you mean I have to wait for the next bit?? Noooooo!’
This is so not fair Marian Tee! How can you leave us hanging with a heartbroken Mairi for another month?
Without reading her other works, I can’t compare them for current fans, but I highly recommend to any avid reader, get yourself the boxed set to discover Marian Tee’s fabulous and funny style.
Well worth the read and I look forward to exploring the rest of the nine books in the box set. BTW, how can you go wrong for ten books for .99c? Really? But get in quick, price is for a limited time only!

This set as a whole has allot of Steam, Romance, and Kink!!! Here's a review of some of our favorites.
The Billionaire's Muse By Ava Lore
This was the first in this boxed set and the longest taking up 20% of the book. When Sadie accidently destroys a priceless vase Billionaire Malcom Ward has a very unique way of getting her to pay him back, by being his Muse. He's a little bit crazy, or at least that's what he wants the world to think, but when she sees the man behind the mask is it someone who she wants to be more than a muse for?
Good read it kept you guessing as to what would happen. Loved the mystery involved in the story and Malcom's ecentric ways. Sadie had a big heart even though she had a hard past and I enjoyed seeing her get through Malcom's B.S. and figuring out what was really going on.
The CEO and the Girl from the Coffee Shop by Terry Towers
She'd been flirting with the hottie businessman Gabriel for months and when he gets her to tell him her troubles Beth gets an offer she can't refuse. Now with working and living at his home can she really fight the attraction.
This one was told from both POV's which is definitely my prefrence because it allows you to see what both characters are thinking. Loved how Gabriel wasn't afraid to go after what he wanted or tell Beth what he was feeling. And Beth's trust to allow things to go with the flow even when she wasn't sure was fun to read.
Trapped into a Marriage by Dez Burke
Keyonna gets a shock when her boyfriend from two years ago suddenly come back from his tour of duty and proposes to her. Two years of not hearing from him and she realized she never loved him, if only she could convince him of that. A spur of the moment kiss to another man to help prove her point and she gets more than she bargined for. Nick has had an interest in Keyonna for months from the first time he saw her, but because he's engaged to another woman, a marriage of convience so he can inheret billion's he can't act on it. Until her little stunt nearly ruins everything.
This was another one told from both POV's. I had fun seeing Nick's growth throughout the story and when he finally understood his feeling how he wasn't afraid to admit them over and over as long as it took for Keyonna to believe him. Keyonna's character was great fun to read about from how she sees situations to what she did at certain times. I loved that even when she was unhappy with how things went she didn't check her morals at the door and go off and do something terribly stupid.
The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire by Marian Tee
This one is actually the first in a series. Mairi grew up not listening to fairy tales from her Aunts but Romance novels. She knows what she wants and will do what it takes to meet her dream Greek Billionaire. Finally in Greece working at a private school for girls she has her chance to meet her man. But what happens when things don't go quite like the stories?
Mairi is a dreamer and I loved that she was willing to go after her dream no matter how crazy it seemed to anyone else. When she meets not one but two men she makes a choice but when things don't go the way she expects she doesn't just run off to the other guy to makes things work. But when the one she wants trys to get her to compromise her morals what will she do? Can't wait to find out where this series goes.

I had fun seeing Nick's growth throughout the story and when he finally understood his feeling how he wasn't afraid to admit them over and over as long as it took for Keyonna to believe him. Keyonna's character was great fun to read about from how she sees situations to what she did at certain times. I loved that even when she was unhappy with how things went she didn't check her morals at the door and go off and do something terribly stupid.
The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire by Marian Tee
This one is actually the first in a series. Mairi grew up not listening to fairy tales from her Aunts but Romance novels. She knows what she wants and will do what it takes to meet her dream Greek Billionaire. Finally in Greece working at a private school for girls she has her chance to meet her man. But what happens when things don't go quite like the stories?
Mairi is a dreamer and I loved that she was willing to go after her dream no matter how crazy it seemed to anyone else. When she meets not one but two men she makes a choice but when things don't go the way she expects she doesn't just run off to the other guy to makes things work. But when the one she wants trys to get her to compromise her morals what will she do? Can't wait to find out where this series goes.

I downloaded this primarily for the Marian Tee story but even then, I didn't realise it wasn't a standalone story. Although you get 10 books at a bargain price, I was disappointed to find a lot of them are just part one of a continuing story and as I don't like books like that, I was not happy that this is not made clear in the product description.
I wish the detailed review was on here when I purchased this box set as then I would have decided not to buy it, but seeing as I already bought it, I will review the Marian Tee book which is what made me buy this. I have read a few of Marian's books and I find her writing witty. English is not her first language which comes through sometimes when she mentions things I'm not familiar with but in this book, I did smile at the references to Mills & Boon books about Greek Billionaires! She mentions M&B authors Lynne Graham and Sharon Kendricks!
Mairi was brought up by her two Aunts who told her stories about Greek billionaires falling in love with ordinary girls. Ever since she has been waiting to meet her very own Greek so when Mairi meets Damen Leventis she is professing her love for him within minutes of meeting! It's a bit of a far fetched tale and instant love which is not my favourite thing to read in books. Yes it is witty as usual and Damen is an alpha male but I was annoyed to find the story continues in another book out in November.
If you don't mind continuation books then this is a good box set at a bargain price.

What a bargain collection I delayed writing my review until I had devoured all of the books. Devour them I did, yes there were some I enjoyed a lot more than others but the collection as a whole is not to be sniffed at. There are some that are stand alone novels and there are others that are the beginning of a story but all are well worth a read on their own merits.
The Billionaires Muse
This was the opening book of the collection and, although I did enjoy it, I will openly admit that I found the dialogue, at times, to be cringe worthy for want of any better term. The leads in this I found difficult to connect with, however the story itself was intriguing and seeing the relationship unfold between them was interesting. The use of art was an inspired idea and this was saved the book from being forgettable.
The CEO and the Girl from the Coffee Shop
This book is the 1st in a series and the second part, The Pleasure in Surrender, will be available in November. However this could easily be read as a stand alone in my opinion. The story centres around Beth who is struggling to pay her way through college while working in a coffee shop where the highlight of her day is when Gabriel comes in to buy his coffee. On hearing her problems he presents her with an offer that she cannot refuse. Yes it is a story of the billionaire and his maid but add the steamy scenes and it is a good little read!
Yes, Mr Collins
This I will be honest with you was one of my least favourite books of the collection. The story just didn’t connect with me. You have the strict, almost too strict, Mr Collins and Natasha his secretary who quite simply I wanted to slap and say ‘get a grip, are you stupid’. The use of the terms pet and prey just were not my idea of a romance, that being said this is my personal opinion and other will like this story. It just wasn’t for me.
My Rockstar Billionaire
This story was a good one but very obviously the beginning of a story. Belle, who is on a working vacation, and who has had her confidence knocked by a cheating ex meets the gorgeous Ricky and begins a passionate holiday romance with him with no expectations beyond the here and now. However it is clear that Ricky is holding some secret back. That secret alas we are not to discover in this instalment, we can only guess from the title what that may be! Guess if you really want to know you’d have to wait for instalment number to like me!
Heidi and the Kaiser
This was another book that I enjoyed. You have a young woman working in a job she hates in an industry that she loves. In steps the enigmatic Warren Kaiser who promotes her from her go-fer position to his professional and personal secretary. Mr Kaiser is a strict man with special tastes but Heidi finds herself falling for him just the same. However with the introduction of a person she knew and who had stolen her ideas and is now passing them off as their own work can their fragile relationship survive what could be seen as Heidi’s jealousy? Can Mr Kaiser forget himself and fall for Heidi? Well you’ll have to read it to find out!
Gloria’s Secret
Gloria is a woman with a 15 year old secret. She is also afraid of losing control of her life and falling for someone. This ideal is shattered upon meeting Jaime Zander! It was a story that had me gripped from the beginning to the end. I will not say too much more as it would give away too much of the story, needless to say I was devastated to see that this was the beginning of a story and that I would have to wait until part way through November to see how their story concludes in Gloria’s Revenge which I will definitely be reading! Especially after what I am expecting in relation to the prospective new partner of the sleazy Victor!
Make You Mine
Again this was one of my favourites of the collection. I am unsure if this is a stand alone or if their story will continue in another book, either way I loved it! You have Daryl who works for an exclusive matchmaking service who is close to losing her job when in walks Tevin, a man who could be the answer to all her prayers! Just which ones!? He agrees to sign with the matchmaking service with the proviso that for each event he attends she grants him one date. What is this man hiding? Can she resist? Does she want to? Or will her past be the thing getting in their way? Read the book for a steamy ride that surely will not disappoint, it certainly didn’t disappoint me!
Trapped into Marriage
This was one of the books I was provided and ARC of and is one of my favourites of the collection. You have a returning soldier returning to claim his love, Keyonna, only to have had her move on. To try and convince him of this fact she throws herself at Nick Vitale who, unbeknownst to her has a fiancée that he desperately needs in order to secure his inheritance. This is a true Harlequin type romance and, due to these being a secret passion of mine, I loved this book. It may be too cliché for some but this is pure romantic escapism!!
The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire
This again is a book I received and ARC copy of and the main reason I read the others in the collection! This is an author I adore and her novels always have me either sobbing or laughing, at times both! This start to a series was no exception! Mairi is a girl who grew up knowing what she wants! What she wants is the HAE, the fact that she wants that with a Greek man, who needs to be a billionaire to boot, is all down to Harlequin romances that she was read as a young girl! I think we can all relate although my wish was always a handsome Sheikh or a hunky Italian! In walks two men who both fit the bill! The dreamy Damen Leventis and Ioniko Vlahos. So long as Mairi follows her lessons, which are the headers for the chapters complete with fantastic editor notes, what can go wrong! Answer, a lot in a small space of time! After the ending of this I cannot wait for book 2, The Art of Trusting a Greek Billionaire, coming in November! Another fantastic book by Ms Tee.
What He Wants
This is the beginning of a set of 4 books that can be bought as a bundle (indeed I have already one clicked!). It is the beginning of a story of Bristol meeting up again with the man who many years ago she called uncle Shane (no relation!). There is an attraction there but with his sexual preferences frightening her will she go back for more?
All in all this a great bundle and, for the price that it is, simply a must buy for anyone who loves romance with steam included!! There is hours and hours of reading here and I do not doubt that there will be something here to captivate everyone.

I will be leaving short reviews for all books in this box set as I read them
The Billionaire's Muse by Ava Lore;
Artist Sadie MacElroy works as her best friends personal assistant. Getting lost in work every day, Sadie doesn't lead much of a life like she wished she would. Until one night she is working a charity event and meets billionaire Malcolm Ward. Malcolm is well... he is off. Everyone thinks he is crazy, and that doesn't exclude Sadie. Circumstances of the evening bring them together and she finds herself being the model for the newly found artist, Malcolm. The turn of events that happened through the book were unpredictable and twisted. Just goes to show you everyone really does think differently about life billionaire or not. This was a good quick read. I would recommend this book, who doesn't like a crazy billionaire!!! 4 out of 5 stars.
The CEO and the Girl from the Coffee Shop by Terry Towers;
Beth works at a small coffee shop and has her usual daily customers that visit. Gabriel is one of her regulars and catches her on a bad day. So he offers her the job of a lifetime, working for him as his live in maid, chef, and whatever else he wants. She didn't think that included sex. But their attraction and sexual tension just keeps getting stronger until neither of the can deny it. Another good quick read in this series and the scenes are well played out. Nothing like going from broke to living in a mansion with a sexy business man. 4 stars out of 5
Yes, Mr. Collins by Anna Antonia writing as Charlotte DeCorte;
Natasha worked in the IT dept for her job until Mr. Collins lays an eye on her. Mr. Collins is known as ruthless and goes through secretary's almost on a daily basis. Natasha is a little more than just nervous when her boss tells her she has no choice but to work for Mr. Collins. She is the first one to last more than just a week, and after working for him she thinks things are going ok learning how to deal from day to day. That is until he calls her in his office and expects her to submit completely to him. This was a real short read and in my opinion submits a little to easily for me. But it was a short quick read after all. 3 out of 5 stars.
My Rockstar Billionaire by Amy Aday;
Belle is on a working trip which she also chooses to use this as her vacation. She runs into Ricky, who is very secretive. He wants to know more about Belle, however anytime Belle asks questions about Ricky's life, he avoids answering them the best that he can. He is clearly hiding something. But we dont get to learn what that is in this story. looks like we have to wait and see for book 2. They have great chemistry and I am curious to see where this will lead. 4 out of 5 stars
Heidi and the Kaiser by Selena Kitt;
Heidi works in the fashion industry. starting at the bottom of the totem pole to work he way up she is a go-for. She is treated like crap constantly. She is on set at a photo shoot and thught things were going good until she ruins the big boss man Warren Kaiser's suit. Yep it couldnt have been anyone else. Then he has a new job for her and can she comply to this and submit completely?. This was a good bdsm short read story. 3.5 out of 5. I just couldnt adjust completely to how Heidi was treated.
Gloria's Secret by Nelle L'Amour;
Gloria is a self proclaimed, successful CEO. Gloria has a secret which keeps her on top of her game and never let her guard down. Then she meets Jaime. Who sends all her scents in overtime. She can't keep in control like she is used to. There is a lot of back and forth between them. When Gloria finally does give in. Lets say fireworks, and you wont be disappointed. There is a bit of a cliffhanger at then end that keeps you wanting more. and you will want more! I will have to follow up with part 2. I have to find out what happens!! 4.5 stars out of 5.
Make You Mine by Tawny Taylor;
Daryl works as a matchmaker, and thinks she has found the perfect client to help secure her position. Until she finds he is hiding something, but what? And next thing she knows he doesn't want to be matched anymore he has found his match. Her!. This book was good. It was all thrown in a short story.I think there could have been more details thrown out there to help us out with some scenes a little more and make the read a little longer to completely grab us in the story. 3 out of 5 stars
Trapped into Marriage by Dez Burke;
This starts off with Keyonna trying to get out of her military boyfriend. This story comes to be about Nick and Keyonna who has crazy chemistry. So that just helps to play this story of Harlequin romance even better. This was well written and a hot read. It had me drawn to the end. Looking forward to reading more of Dez Burke's work. 4 out of 5 stars.
The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire by Marian Tee;
I was drawn to this by the title alone (at first). Come on a Greek Billionaire HOT! But unfortunately Mairi wasn't the only one after her Greek billionaire. This isnt just your average story about finding your prince charming. mairi knows what she wants, and she intends to get it. She is enrolled in a Catholic school and is set as an outcast because she doesn't think the same as all the other girls. I liked that in this story and really set it out from other stories about trying to find your "prince Charming". The Art of Trusting a Greek Billionaire is the 2nd installment in this series. Adding to my TBR list.
What He Wants by Tawny Taylor;
Bristol is left with no choice but to sell the house. She was just leaving when a handsome, well dressed businessman shows up to look at the house. Then it strikes her, does she know this man? She just cant shake the feeling. Shane is a man who gets what he wants. Always. No exceptions, which doesn't fall short of women either. When Shane shows up to look at a piece of property he ends up seeing more than just the house that he wants. Then he finds out just as quick, they already have history. Can Bristol handle what Shane has to offer. This was a short erotic read and was definitely one of the better shorts that i enjoyed through this set. Definitely would recommend checking out this one!
After finishing all of this box set I would recommend reading it. With some of the stories just meh for me, (which were mainly the BDSM stories which just aren't for me) to others being great romance, erotic, steamy reads. I say what are you waiting for and go get this boxed set. There's 10 books in here so you will have something to read for at least a week if you read quick like I do!

Erica- The Book Nuts
February 11, 2014
Ten short stories at one great price. It turned out to be a great way to read stories from authors, some I hadn't heard of. Although not every story was my cup of tea, there are plenty to appeal to all.
It's crappy when you buy books that sound good but once purchased; you regret spending the money and time reading it. Even if is it a cheap book, it adds up when looking for a book you can sink into. This Book Bundle is so worth the money! If you you don't like a story, just go onto another one. There are plenty of stories to choose from and one of the hot alpha males is sure to please.
The Billionaires Muse
This was the opening book of the collection, and although I did enjoy it, I will admit I expected a little more for the first book. The leads in this, I found difficult to connect with; however, the story itself was intriguing and seeing the relationship unfold between them was interesting. The use of art was an inspired idea and this was saved the book from being forgettable.
The CEO and the Girl from the Coffee Shop
This book is the 1st in a series and the second part, The Pleasure in Surrender, is the next in Line. The story centres around Beth, who is struggling to pay her way through college, while working in a coffee shop; the highlight of her day is when Gabriel comes in to buy his coffee (hot as hell). On hearing her problems, he presents her with an offer that she cannot refuse. Yes, it is a story of the billionaire and his maid, but add the steamy scenes and it is a good little read!
Yes, Mr Collins
This Was an okay read but not one I would rave about. The story just didn't connect with me and lost me in parts. You have the strict, Mr Collins, and Natasha, his secretary, who quite simply I wanted to slap and say `get a grip, omg get a life girl. It just wasn't for me.
But I know a few people who would love this book .
My Rockstar Billionaire
This story was a good one. The start of a great story. Belle, who is on a working vacation, and who has had her confidence knocked by a cheating ex meets the gorgeous Ricky and begins a passionate holiday romance with him with no expectations beyond the here and now living day by day. Ricky is holding some secret back. We can only guess from the title what that may be! Guess if you really want to know. You'd have get the next book.
Heidi and the Kaiser
This was another book that I enjoyed. You have a young woman working in a job she hates in an industry that she loves. Warren Kaiser, who promotes her from her down-and-out position, to his professional and personal secretary. Mr Kaiser is a strict man with special tastes but Heidi finds herself falling for him just the same. However, with the introduction of a person she knew and who had stolen her ideas and is now passing them off as their own work, can their fragile relationship survive what could be seen as Heidi's jealousy? Can Mr Kaiser forget himself and fall for Heidi? Well, you'll have to read it to find out!
Gloria's Secret
Gloria is a woman with a 15-year-old secret. She is also afraid of losing control of her life and falling for someone. This ideal is shattered upon meeting Jaime Zander! It was a story that had me gripped from the beginning to the end. That's all your getting from me.
Make You Mine
Again this was one of my favourites of the collection. You have Daryl, who works for an exclusive matchmaking service, who is close to losing her job when in walks Tevin, a man who could be the answer to all her prayers! What is this man hiding? Can she resist? Does she want to? Read the book for a steamy ride that surely will not disappoint; it certainly didn't disappoint.
Trapped into Marriage
This was one of the books that's my favourites of the collection. You have a returning soldier returning to claim his love, Keyonna, only to have had her move on. To try and convince him of this fact, she throws herself at Nick Vitale, who unbeknownst to her, has a fiancée that he desperately needs in order to secure his inheritance. This is a true Romance. I loved this book.
The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire
This is an author I adore and her novels always have me either sobbing or laughing, at times both! This start to a series was no exception!
Mairi is a girl who grew up knowing what she wants! What she wants is the HAE; the fact that she wants that with a Greek man, who needs to be a billionaire to boot, is all down to Harlequin romances that she was read as a young girl! I think we can all relate, although my wish was always a handsome Sheikh or a hunky Italian! The dreamy Damen Leventis and Ioniko Vlahos. After the ending of this, I cannot wait for book 2, The Art of Trusting a Greek Billionaire. I'm going to die - loaded the next book now. Another fantastic book by Ms Tee.
What He Wants
This is the beginning of a set of 4 books that can be bought as a bundle (indeed I have already purchased lol!) There is an attraction there but with his sexual preferences frightening her, will she go back for more? (I would!) This book will have you hooked and needing more.
This collection is a must buy for anyone who loves romance with steam included!! There are hours and hours of reading here and I do not doubt that there will be something here to captivate everyone even the most picky person.
My favourites were:
"Trapped into a Marriage"
"The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire"
Some are self contained novellas, like "The CEO and the Girl from the Coffee Shop"

It's crappy when you buy books that sound good but once purchased; you regret spending the money and time reading it. Even if is it a cheap book, it adds up when looking for a book you can sink into. This Book Bundle is so worth the money! If you you don't like a story, just go onto another one. There are plenty of stories to choose from and one of the hot alpha males is sure to please.
The Billionaires Muse
This was the opening book of the collection, and although I did enjoy it, I will admit I expected a little more for the first book. The leads in this, I found difficult to connect with; however, the story itself was intriguing and seeing the relationship unfold between them was interesting. The use of art was an inspired idea and this was saved the book from being forgettable.
The CEO and the Girl from the Coffee Shop
This book is the 1st in a series and the second part, The Pleasure in Surrender, is the next in Line. The story centres around Beth, who is struggling to pay her way through college, while working in a coffee shop; the highlight of her day is when Gabriel comes in to buy his coffee (hot as hell). On hearing her problems, he presents her with an offer that she cannot refuse. Yes, it is a story of the billionaire and his maid, but add the steamy scenes and it is a good little read!
Yes, Mr Collins
This Was an okay read but not one I would rave about. The story just didn't connect with me and lost me in parts. You have the strict, Mr Collins, and Natasha, his secretary, who quite simply I wanted to slap and say `get a grip, omg get a life girl. It just wasn't for me.
But I know a few people who would love this book .
My Rockstar Billionaire
This story was a good one. The start of a great story. Belle, who is on a working vacation, and who has had her confidence knocked by a cheating ex meets the gorgeous Ricky and begins a passionate holiday romance with him with no expectations beyond the here and now living day by day. Ricky is holding some secret back. We can only guess from the title what that may be! Guess if you really want to know. You'd have get the next book.
Heidi and the Kaiser
This was another book that I enjoyed. You have a young woman working in a job she hates in an industry that she loves. Warren Kaiser, who promotes her from her down-and-out position, to his professional and personal secretary. Mr Kaiser is a strict man with special tastes but Heidi finds herself falling for him just the same. However, with the introduction of a person she knew and who had stolen her ideas and is now passing them off as their own work, can their fragile relationship survive what could be seen as Heidi's jealousy? Can Mr Kaiser forget himself and fall for Heidi? Well, you'll have to read it to find out!
Gloria's Secret
Gloria is a woman with a 15-year-old secret. She is also afraid of losing control of her life and falling for someone. This ideal is shattered upon meeting Jaime Zander! It was a story that had me gripped from the beginning to the end. That's all your getting from me.
Make You Mine
Again this was one of my favourites of the collection. You have Daryl, who works for an exclusive matchmaking service, who is close to losing her job when in walks Tevin, a man who could be the answer to all her prayers! What is this man hiding? Can she resist? Does she want to? Read the book for a steamy ride that surely will not disappoint; it certainly didn't disappoint.
Trapped into Marriage
This was one of the books that's my favourites of the collection. You have a returning soldier returning to claim his love, Keyonna, only to have had her move on. To try and convince him of this fact, she throws herself at Nick Vitale, who unbeknownst to her, has a fiancée that he desperately needs in order to secure his inheritance. This is a true Romance. I loved this book.
The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire
This is an author I adore and her novels always have me either sobbing or laughing, at times both! This start to a series was no exception!

10 more romances…
Another 99 cent special. It has the first of Marian Tee’s Greek millionaire series, where her h, Mairi, falls in love with a man who wants her as a mistress, not a wife. This ended up having something like 7 or 8 more “books” and they finally get a HEA.
I didn’t read the rest.

I picked fire by calinda b
loved it! As always there is a twist at the end. Ms Calinda writes easy to read (watch out for clues about the end) book.

Some of the books are books in a series but also series that contain the same characters so we end up not actually finding out if there's an HEA.
February 19, 2014
***This box set contains mature themes, as does this review, and is intended for audiences ages 18 and over.***
This is my first review about a box set! When I started out reading this I was pleasantly surprised. I guess I thought because it was advertised so cheap on amazon for ten books, that the writing would be bad or the books wouldn’t be good, but that wasn’t the case at all. I was also surprised to find out that I was reading a BDSM erotica bundle. Lol. Guess I should read the synopsis sometimes before I take on a request. But honestly, I thought it was a romance box set. It’s okay though, I’m not anti-erotica. I liked 50 Shades. Anyways, I only read some of the books, so I’ll just do some quick reviews on the ones that I read.
—————————————————————————-
The Billionaire’s Muse by Ava Lore
This was a great start to the set. I was like, wow, if this is what all the books are going to be like, it’s going to be great!
Sadie accidentally breaks a very valuable vase at an auction. This vase belongs to billionaire Malcolm Ward. Sadie agrees to be his muse to pay him back for the vase. Trouble is, Malcolm isn’t really sure what kind of artist he is, so he has to spend a lot of time with Sadie to find out.
This one started out great, Sadie is sarcastic and awesome. During the beginning of the auction this thought goes through her head, “Me, I was just hoping for a fist fight to break out.” (location 95/14072 on kindle). Hey, she made me laugh a lot. However, some of the sex scenes were a little weird for me. Paint brushes shouldn’t go certain places. Just saying. And then I felt like the story stretched out a little too long and got a little off course as well.
Overall though, it was a good book.
—————————————————————————-
The CEO and the Girl from the Coffee Shop by Terry Towers
The billionaire, Gabriel, wants barista, Beth, to come be his housekeeper and chef. I couldn’t get into this one; I got bored, didn’t finish it and went on to the next.
—————————————————————————-
Yes, Mr. Collins by Anna Antonia
Mr. Collins is so demanding that he doesn’t keep a personal assistant for long, because no one meets his expectations. That is until Natasha works for him. Natasha starts the job so nervous because she knows what Mr. Collins is like. But then, after she is getting physically sick from stress, she decides that she’s going to change her way of thinking and not be nervous anymore, but live up to the challenge.
This story was quick and decent. It seemed to be shorter than the others.
—————————————————————————-
Heidi and the Kaiser by Selena Kitt
Heidi is working in the fashion world, but not as she would like, which would be as a designer. On the job setting up a photo shoot, she spills coffee on billionaire Warren Kaiser’s pants. He spanks her and she likes it. Heidi ends up working for him, and the punishments continue.
Yeah, I’m conflicted on this one. It felt like borderline abuse. Heidi liked it but, well, I didn’t! Kaiser seemed so harsh to me, even at the end. What kind of relationship is that, you know?
—————————————————————————-
Gloria’s Secret by Nelle L’Amour
This is another one I just couldn’t finish. I was bored, I couldn’t get into it. Gloria is the owner of a lingerie company, (you get it right? I hope so!) Anyways here’s a little excerpt that caught my eye.
"My right eye was blue; my left one brown. I had a rare genetic condition known as heterochromia. In press releases and on the Internet, both eyes appeared to be brown thanks to Photoshop. But because I suffered from dry eye syndrome, I was unable to use contacts to conceal my idiosyncrasy the rest of the time." (location 7058/14072)
This is pure silliness! Jane Seymour has different colored eyes, as does Kate Bosworth. They don’t try to hide it and they’re actors not an owner of a lingerie shop! Not only that, but I have one brown eye and one green eye myself so obviously I picked up on this. Gloria must have some real issues for having her eyes photoshopped to be the same color. I don’t know though cause like I said, I didn’t finish the book.
—————————————————————————-
There are a few more stories that I didn’t list here; I didn’t read all of them. So overall I would say that this is a good box set. Not ‘avoid at all cost.’ Not ‘you need to read this now!’ But good, especially for the cheap prices that amazon tends to list it for.
My Rating for the whole set:
3 out of 5 stars

April 7, 2014
I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.
The Billionaire Bad Boys of Romance are all in one set for our entertainment. Each installment adds to an overall sexy collection of billionaire romances.
The Billionaire's Muse- Ava Lore
Oops! After a clumsy accident can controlled and organized Sadie handle the sexy artist storming into her life? Malcolm and Sadie's steamy romance is hot and entertaining, leaving you ready to snatch up the next installment in the series.
The CEO and the Girl from the Coffee Shop- Terry Towers
Gabriel knows what he wants and nothing is going to stop him, but is Beth ready for him? Find out in this quick paced, sexy tale of a dominant and his sexy coffee shop pet. I liked this sexy, easy read. It wasn't too much, but was entertaining.
Yes, Mr.Collins- Anna Antonia
Natasha and her boss Mr.Collins have a sexy, dominant, office relationship in this short read. I was easily entertained by this story and it went by in a flash. It was fun, sexy, and one I'd recommend to someone looking for a quick, dominant themed, erotic romance.
My Rock-star Billionaire- Amy Aday
This was a a simple read for me. I don't usually go for the "Rock-Star" type of books, but this one was okay. I think the story line could have been a bit stronger, but it was a sexy, quick read.
Heidi and the Kaiser- Selena Kitt
Heidi may have bitten off more than she can chew with Kaiser. I enjoyed this fast paced dominant romance in this story line. It was another easy, entertaining, short read for me.
Gloria's Secret- Nelle L'Amour
This was my favorite in the box set. The chemistry between Gloria and Jaime is hot from the start. I really liked how there was a true story to this. I think the amount of sex scenes right in a row during parts of the story put me off slightly, but I may find myself buying the sequel as I am curious to see what happens next.
Make you Mine- Tawny Taylor
This was not your run of the mill short romance. I liked that it was different and a quick read. It was definitely fiction, but I suppose girls can dream, right? Overall, it was interesting fantasy romance.
Trapped into Marriage- Dez Burke
I enjoyed this short, sweet story. Keyonna and Nick are the couple meant to be together. They may begin their relationship a bit bizarrely, but it was fun to see them reach their "Happily Ever After". I liked the story to this. There were moments where I wanted more of "this" and less of "that", but overall this was one of the more well rounded novellas I've read lately.
The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire- Marion Tee
This story was definitely unique. It was quirky and mushy, but also a sexy possessive romance. It was a quick read for me and I'd recommend continuing the series as it ends in a cliffhanger.
What He Wants- Tawny Taylor
This is a nice example of what I call a "Wham! Bam! Thank you, Ma'am." erotica. It was short, hot, sexy and I'd like to see what happens next in the series. This was a nice sexy read without too much drama or just too much sex.
Overall, this was a sexy mix of rich men that know what and or who they want and the women that are perfect matches for them. It was fun, sexy, and entertaining with a nice mix of authors with their own unique voices. I'd recommend this collection to someone looking for some sexy romance that isn't too involved, but it entertaining.

I did love the first and most of the others in this book. The first one...Both of them are artists. It's a romance of Sadie and Malcolm. Sadie has been damaged and looks at herself negatively. Malcolm, on the other hand, helps her look at herself differently, they way he sees her.
Some good quotes I especially liked.
"He is crazy"
"Malcolm saw something in me like I saw something in this sculpture. Something strong. Beautiful despite its flaws. Or maybe because of its flaws."
on the the 2nd in the 10 book bundle...not so much...it just seemed canned for some reason.
Another good story was Make You Mine by Tawny Taylor
couple of good lines like....
He studied me for a moment. “I think that’s what you want people to believe.” “Why would I lie?” “I haven’t figured that out... yet.”
Happy reading...

I was given an ARC copy of this box set in return for a review.
So much to be said about this great set. It's everything you want in a romance set, filled with beautiful rich daring men, their equally beautiful and sassy partners, adventure, kink, unpredictable circumstances, humor, and a whole lot of love. Although all of the stories carry a similar theme, each and every story is unique in it's own way, but I do believe my favorite in the set is the very first one, which is also the longest. It was not only a very steamy read but it literally had me laughing out loud in certain places. I would recommend to romance lovers who aren't afraid of a steamy bedroom scene now and again. The only qualm I had with this box set was that some of the characters in the stories either didn't develop enough for me, or they were simply too out there. Over all a great read!

December 3, 2013I will rate ea book separately and then give an average rating by stars when I've read them all.
Book 1 didn't care for. Started off ok but never got better. Just didn't really care for Malcolm. He may have gotten better but skipped from about 30% to the end. This book has put me off in reading the next one. Tried to read Nov 20
Book 2 (Girl at the Coffee Shop)- Urghhh... The book was actually pretty good.. not great but I liked it.... and can you believe the whole story wasn't there? The author only put half of it so then we have to go buy the rest. I hate not knowing how a book ends but I wasn't intrigued enough to go buy the remaining of the book. Finished Reading November 29th.

Forget bad boys, this should be some really messed up boys doing some really messed up stuff to really messed up girls. And not in a good way. Most of the stories were so over the top it went from being sexy to being creepy and abusive. There were a few good stories, but those really were more like the first part of a book rather than the whole book (Gloria's Secret and My Rockstar Billionaire, I'm talking about you.) Even the one story that I thought I would love because I have loved the series, the Girl from the Coffee Shop, didn't live up to its usual standards. Honestly, I can't say it was worth the money I paid, even though a few stories were okay.

This contains multiple short stories about Hot as sin Billionaire Bad Boys! Some of which continue on to other series. They are short sweet and to the point. I have read further on some of the short stories that have a series connected to it. Such as Gloria's Secret and The Art of Catching a Greek Billionaire.

Reviewer: Donna - Magic Within The Pages
Rating: 3 Stars
The box set is made up of 10 stories, some were longer than others and all were full of hot sizzling sex scenes. Some of the sex scenes were too long but the story lines were enjoyable and if you like Billionaire Bad boys who seduce ordinary women or if you love long hot seductive sex scenes, then this is the box set for you.

Most stories 2 stars, two were 3. One was so bad the author actually described whining as a sound of passion. I'm sure none of us would have any husbands if we made whining sounds every time we were intimate :) the Greek billionaire is delightfully fluffy. Gloria's secret was over the top fluff loaded with designer fashions.

There were some good stories in this anthology however, it is an average set of books. the writers are either new or still inexperienced...
It is a bargain for a set if 10 short stories although the first one was actually a full book. Overall a pleasant read.

Ok so what did I expect from a book that was on sale for .99? I only gave out a two star rating because there was a book I did really like. One out of ten. One of the stores was so bad in my opinion that I did not even finish reading it.
August 13, 2016
YES YES YES! I LOVED THIS COLLECTION! SELENA KITT KNOWS HOW TO WRITE MY MEN! I adored just about every story... dez Burke was another writer who I have chosen to explore after this book... the unfinished story I like was "gloria's secret" which makes me want to read it's conclusion.
