As a box set its nor bad, and the overall stories of the 7 are compelling even if the series is predictable and repeats the same in each book tbh. I have read them all but they don't rank high on by my books to recommend list.
June 21, 2026
I read this from start to finish and reviewed each story under the book itself. I had to gather all my thoughts, and I will post them below. Overall, though, I truly enjoyed ALL of these. I will say Edward, Baron and Ava's story is one of a kind. -chefs kiss- truly. Steele you know you have me by my heart! I think I'll always be a fan. I'm stuck on your work until the very end!!
The Billionaire's Fake Wife (Big Bad Billionaires, #1)
Summer and Sinclair are really freakin' hot together. Man I LOVED how they truly just hated each other. It wasn't like any other book I've read. L Steele does it again! I'm so down for this. One question I had though.... Max was created in Sin's mind... when did he become a real dog? That had me stumped. Idk if there is a section of the story that is missing or if this is one of the stupes Steele put in the book to make sure we were all paying attention.
Overall, man I lived for Summer and Sin's story. I loved this so much.
The Billionaire's Secret: Victoria & Saint's Story (Big Bad Billionaires, #2)
Victoria and Saint's story was so hot. Steele did it again with this one. Holy moly I hadn't read anything like this before and gosh I'm so glad they got their HEA. Saint is such a hurt man that he is every bit of the sadist he claims to be. Victoria is his match in every way and when they get together it's so hot. I would say this is the novel I wanted in so many ways. It was so satisfying to see them get together and I'm really grateful that I was able to read this so quickly! I really started it late Friday night and read all day yesterday because I truly couldn't put it down. It was a very satisfying and quick read. It's still Sunday morning and I'm already done! Well done, Steele!
The Billionaire's Christmas Bride: Weston & Amelie's Story (Big Bad Billionaires, #3)
Weston and Amelie's story was so funny. I loved the comedic route that the audiobook and book went with Amelie's outlook. This was a lighter side (somewhat anyway because of all the trauma that the guys went through) of the whole plot line of "the Seven". But I loved the fact that Amelie and Weston are perfect for each other in their own way. Weston going through his version of PTSD and his obsession with the clocks made my heart stand still with sadness. Amelie being strong and standing her own ground until her apartment was broken into and her seeing that Weston had left traumatized them both to realize they both need each other. I thought this story was precious in its own way. But I really thought with the book's title that the proposal would have happened earlier than it did. But no matter, it was such a good love story. Looking forward to Damian and Julia's story now!
Marrying The Billionaire Single Dad (Big Bad Billionaires, #4)
Julia and Damian's story broke my heart a bit. I think this is the longest that it's taken me to get through a Steele book. The marriage doesn't happen until really the end of the book and by then that's when Damian is (some-what) coming to his senses. When he leaves Julia.... AND after everything she went through and what he put her through?! Lord I was so mad at this. The trauma that these Seven went through is really just awful. I think so far, Damian's story broke me the worst. And knowing what happens to poor Riley.... Overall, really glad Damian came to his senses and Daddy D and Julia got their HEA. That's really what I wanted. Now I'm on to reading about Arpad and Karina!
The Billionaire's Baby (Big Bad Billionaires, #5)
I have to say this one is my most favorite story amongst all of them. Can I PLEASE get an AMEN for Arpad? Holy SH*T. I just have to say that and hope like crap it doesn't get taken down. I wish there were more men like this in real life. Just saying. It was so freaking hot how he treated Karina. And Lord the balls on Karina?! Making a deal for him to be her baby daddy (but not really...?!) My gosh I just loved this story so dang much. He took what he wanted and Karina wasn't afraid to give it back to him. I lived for this story so much. Good for them and HALLELUJAH when they got together. I mean for real. I didn't think they'd get there and I was so thrilled when they did.
Billionaire’s Sins (Big Bad Billionaires, #6)
Billionaire’s Promise (Big Bad Billionaires, #7)
The Billionaire’s Bride (Big Bad Billionaires, #8)
WOW. Ava, Edward and Baron were just.... WOW. So, I started reading this in the boxset and I thought this story was so unlike all the others. I was so thoroughly impressed with how L Steele portrayed this story dynamic between these 3 characters. From the utter bad boy in Baron, to the ex-Priest in Edward, to literally the damsel - who won't actually act like the damsel in Ava... this story was perfection. Also, I need to say no freaking way about why Edward and Baron stayed on their 'hurt' soap box for so long. Their past was CRAZY. I felt like it was perfectly told. I was really impressed. Steele you still have me after all this time. -insert pitiful face crying happy eyes emoji here- :) This was such a good story amongst these 3. I can't wait to see what's next.

I didn't make it past the first half of the first book in this boxed set. I could not get engaged and the story line lacked believable even for a fantasy romance. It was like being dropped in the middle of a conversation that had begun an hour ago. There was no lead in to say who,how, what, why to set up why the two characters met, add to that within an hour or so of actual time spent together in the story line the female lead in the story says "I've begun to recognize his little glances, the crease that appears between his eyebrows when he is pondering something...." it was at this point that I gave up trying to read this book. I didn't even attempt to read any of the others in this box set.

Hate that this ends on a cliffhanger. Then, it takes you to a prequel about the Mafia they keep referring to throughout the whole book, which is supposed to tell you why they take Karma. Yet, nothing about why everything happened to the boys, never especially what happened to Baron and Edward with an answer to why it happened to them and by whom. Bought and read the Mafia prequel if that had been my intro to this author would have not continued. Bought three boxset about the Mafia & Karma and Michael and nope would not have continued but will skip pages to find out about Karma. How do they end up at the wedding??? Karina got sucker punched and Ardad had lied to her and everyone else is BS. Saint’s story had me in tears. The clues were obvious as in the players but not to reasons.

Interesting read
Learning the life software the 7 was an epic adventure. Seeing how each met their wife was enlightening and showed how love can make a difference. The only sad part was actually reliving the trauma that both Baron and Edward endured, I was hoping for them to get justice in the end but it's never too late for it to happen. I'm glad that one of the perpetrators came forward and she'd some light on the events. I hope Karma will be able to stand by her sister and not give in to Michael and his evil ways. It seems as if he got close to her to bring discord among the 7.

Has more **x scenes than reqd
had to skip x scenes ...the actual storyline and plot twist is lost . Read all boxset and so far I liked only Arpad's story better than all .
There's no emotional depth in Father and Ava's meet / storyline. It just felt like she was just infatuated and the author needed something or someone to be paired up with him ..
Had no craze to read the nxt book in series .
Try reading books of same genre by Author Neva Altaj , Catherine Maura, Michelle Heard etc . They have new storyline for each of their stories .Both protagonist pose strong characters in every series/ books.

This collection takes you on a journey in the lives of the 7 men. Their personalities are forever changed because of a horrific shared experiences. One positive for them all is their love, support and understanding for each other. I cried, felt anxiety, pain, empathy, sadness, and joy when they found some happiness. The women in their lives are very special, strong, resilient and determined. Each book is fantastic in its own right but the connections between the books add to the experience. If I could I would give this collection 10 ⭐️’s!!

I have read every one of these amazing books. In these books you will meet dominant alpha males and the women who steal their hearts. There is action, drama, steam, humor and a whole lot of pure deliciousness. Read about how these women get what they want from their man. The men believe they have the control. But do they really? Another thing that makes this boxset a must read......all the characters travel from one book to the next. You never lose track of your favorite characters. This is just an amazing reading experience.

Each of the seven finding their mate
Except for Edward, he hasn’t settled down yet and found the one. Loved every story, highly sexual and domineering Alphas with tricks up their sleeves, always supporting each other, they were also trying to track down their kidnappers, never succeeding but coming closer.

Heaven Help Us
These men are so alpha but so lost until they meet their matches in the women who claim their hearts.
I laughed, I cried, I was scared, angry, and I was devastated in every relationship tale as it unfolded. I would re-read this series again just to capture some of the episodes I'm sure I missed details of.

I have listened to this boxset performed by wonderfully talented narrators who bring life to the characters. Each book features the love of a couple with hot and steamy scenes, a great storyline and a sad past for the hero. I highly recommend these books for their feel good value.

Great
I really got into reading this series. The author knows how to draw you in. I wanted to climb into the books at times and slap some of the men up side the head, but overall I really liked this series.

Great box set
7 Alpha Males, will all of them find a love match?
First 5 books are standalone last 3 are connected, All 8 books have a connection.
I dont even know what book I liked most. They all had a great romance with an alpha male, drama and love.

Well I'll Say
I didn't like the last book with Baron and Edward. I was disappointed when Ed and Barry and that girl were not a threesome. But Edward wasn't left out. L. Steele is a great writer and if you like her books be sure to get the billionaires box set. I loved it.

It gets better and better
These stories of of these incredible men show their growth from selfish beings into mature men who can accept their flaws and open their hearts. Spoiler alert:I really thought that Ava would have ended up with them both. That would have been spicy. 🔥 🌶️

Of all this amazing and good! I have never listened to anything more awesome than this box set. What happens when you fall for your fake wife? Incredible narration job that completely made the story for me. If you haven't listened to these books yet, you don't know what you're missing out on.
