I only read the billionaire books and while there were parts I really enjoyed, I had difficulty getting past the ways in which he hurt her and felt the relationship came across as toxic. On top of that, I was really uncomfortable with how he would ignore her pleas of "No". I'm not saying that she wasn't confused but, in this day and age, it is difficult to read about a stranger ignoring the word "No".
Oh and I have one thing to say about the wedding...awkward!
Maybe the other books are better but I'm going to have to hold off for a bit.

I love Marian Tee and for anyone who hasn't read any of her books and wants an introduction to her style of writing then this is ideal. This box set contains two completed stories of two of the group of billionaires known as the Three Pussketeers as well as the first part of the third. There is also a novella about the first pussketeers story.
Chased, Courted, and Caged
This was one of the first books/series by Marian Tee that I read. This was, in my memory anyway, the series that I liked the least. To be able to give a better review I decided to re-read the series (what a hardship I know!). Upon re-reading this I realised that in fact I love this series. Unlike some of Marians other books it is quite tame, don't get me wrong the steamy scenes are there but the full on intimacy doesn't come until later on. The clues are in the names of the individual books!! Yup Yanna makes the Dutch billionaire, Constantijin court her!
I had completely forgotten Yanna's initial words to Constantijin, how I managed that I will never know!! I mean from going to say Hello to changing it to Holy S**t that will make an impression. As you can expect with him being a billionaire his arrogance will cause problems in the relationship, in fact what he does is just plane horrible. Yanna has a habit throughout the story of slapping him accidentally (yup accidentally!) but when she slaps him properly boy does he deserve it! Yes there is a HEA and in fact at the end of the box set there is the final chapter of their HEA in a sweet novella in true Yanna and Constantijin form but I will talk about that later!
When Fangirls Lie and When Fangirls Cry
I fell in love with Saffi right away when she answered the phone to the gorgeous Staffan to the words 'Suffering Sardines'!! Yup you read it right suffering sardines!! In explanation Saffi loves her fish and when she gets overly emotional comes out with fantastic phrases all including the name of a fish.
Saffi is the #1 fangirl for Staffan Aehrenthal and is delighted to receive tickets to go see him in concert. These tickets come around when Steffan cannot forget about the fan he rang for a birthday call. Saffi doesn't realise he knows who she is and some amusing situations result involving her alter ego 'H' (don't ask!). Steffan has been hurt in the past and this makes it hard for him to trust Saffi.
In the second part of the story you know that Steffan was going to come to all the wrong conclusions, which he did, but you never expected Saffi to dig her heels in determined to keep the man she loves and make a family together. At this point i'm at a bit of a loss as to what to say so as not to ruin this fantastic book! Needless to say Marian Tee manages to combine scorching romance with comedy perfectly, what threw me was how she managed to add an event that is devastating to so many women in such a way it doesn't detract from the fantastic storyline.
What really got me was the lengths that Staffan ended up going to to get Saffi back.
How Not to be Seduced by Dukes
This is the first part of the last of the Pussketeers stories. This is all about Rathe and Mary. This for me was completely different to all of Marian Tee's stories but in a good way. The characters in here are the same but different at the same time. Your probably wondering what on earth I mean!! I mean that unlike a lot of Marian's other characters these two both have a really horrible past. Mary more so but it is the mental scars from how Rathe viewed his parents relationship that has him balking at the fact that there is a 16 year difference between him and Mary.
This confronts some contentious issues with Mary and her stepfather, you can probably guess. This is a great start to what promises to be yet another fantastic story to Marian Tee's library.
How Not to Marry a Billionaire
This is the novella for Yanna and Constantijin. This is their big HEA, the clue is in the title. In true Yanna and Constantijin fashion it is not easy to get Yanna down the aisle, she was undecided about their relationship so getting her down the aisle was always going to be eventful. With Mr Fix It at the ceremony too Constantijin's jealousy was always going to cause an . . .interesting scene, and in front of Yanna's parents too!!!!!
Please note I was provided an ARC of this box set in exchange for an honest review.

This is a series to read if you just want to be entertained. There were times when I found the characters cute but there were also times when I just found them frustratingly stupid. I liked the unique scenes, enjoyed most of the characters' banters. Of all the three couples though, I liked Rathe and Mary the most. Can't wait to read the continuation of their love story.

3.5 stars: loved Chased, Courted, Caged; well developed story and easy to read. Fangirls series was so-so. Dukes left a bit to be desired. I could see how all the stories tied together but wish Fangirls and Dukes had more time to develop.

The Three Pusketeers!
A trio of hot billionaires who are best friends and whose lives will change with the encounter of three beautiful women- both inside and out.
"How Not to be Seduced by Billionaires" with three of the stories, Chased, Courted and Caged, was the first series I read of the How Not To collections by Marian Tee. It was also one of the longest books I'd read of hers, and I ate up every single page! Yanna meets her match in Constantijin when she wants a true love romance and he just wants- her. I was so giddy, watching Constantijin's usual playboy yet aloof self slowly change because he wanted to keep Yanna close. There were also a lot of hardships, though, because a billionaire doesn't change over night. It took three books really for him to fully realize that he will never let her go. <3 *sigh*
"How Not to be Seduced by Rock Stars" with two books, When Fangirls Lie and When Fangirls Cry, Saffi is a complete and adorable dork with a deep deep love for fish. For example, she enjoys replacing swear words with fishes, like Flipping Flounder. (lol). She comes from a pristine family, but because of some not-so-happy times in school, she's become the black sheep of the family, and the last thing she wants to do is ruin her family's reputation again, so she agrees to an arranged marriage... but she's going out in style.
She gets a chance to be with her rockstar crush, Staffan, while he goes on his tour! But she goes in disguise for fear of her name being found out, and her lie makes the Swedish sex god curious. He recognizes her from a birthday phone call and doesn't understand why she would lie, but decides to let it flow as he gets to know her more.
Their story was intense for me. The sex on stage- oops! Sorry. :P But seriously, Staffan is one INTENSE sex God that, although super yummy and all, also has a very unforgiving side if crossed. In both stories, it's a rough ride for Saffi but I'm SO GLAD that everything gets patched up in the last book. <3
"How Not to be Seduced by Dukes" is the story of the last Pusketeer, and continues from Saffi's series, actually. Rathe had met Mary in Saffi's last book, so this one picks up a few moments later. Their relationship starts off as hot and cold. Hot because of the thing they feel between them, cold because Rathe isn't ready to fully let himself be revealed. He's always been protective of himself, not wanting to get hurt or let his guard down. But he can do that with Mary, who might just know a little too well about his demons.
This book was a little more "action" than the other series because there's a bad guy that comes off as the- well, bad guy! There's bad guys in a lot of Tee's work, but most of them are just irritating bitches that I'd rather see slapped than arrested. XD But this guy... whew. Man, he better hope to never get locked up with Rathe. *shudders*
"How Not to Marry a Billionaire" is a bonus for Yanna and Con's story. It was a fun little bonus, because all that really happens is-
Well, I can't spoil it for you. I'll do it on my blog hahaha but not here! All these stories I've read before save for the Dukes one, but it was great reading them all over again. <3 Reminded me exactly why Marian Tee totally takes the cake in my favorite author for Happily Ever Afters. ^_^
I recommend this to those who have a thing for anime and K-Drama. That's always the feeling I get when reading this, but it's also HOT with sexy scenes that you can get lost in. Mind you, though, you'll cry your eyes out with some of the stupid things these Pusketeers do. Grr....
Happy Reading!

Chased
Yanna is so out of her league in this one with Constantijin. From the start he was open with what he wanted and she didn't know what to do with it. This was just so short. He didn't really chase her though even in the times that he came after her it was more like he was trying to figure her out, if she was up to games or not. She didn't have a clue what to do though but I liked how she was holding off and not just falling into his bed. This was good and I can't wait to read more.
Courted
These just keep getting better. I understand Yanna wants to put off letting everyone know about them. She has way more to lose then he does plus he already let her know what to expect. For him to catch an attitude was selfish I thought he would pull back when he found out her sexual status but of course he didn't. He's willing to take something he can't give back and possibly cause her to suffer through the back talk and jabs of her co-workers for nothing in return. I don't think she should've chased after him though, he knew what he was doing it was the same thing he did before. Again, this is getting better and better.
Caged
In the little bit said about Drake I really was starting to like him. She cried so much in this one I just wanted her to shut up. The mess he told Arian was so out of the way I thought he'd finally had enough of her or at the very least he would pull back some from her to get his mind right. To force her to continue living there was such a waste if he was going to turn right back around and come to terms with what he was feeling. I think the truth should've been told when he'd been in the dog house for longer and he'd thought she'd leave. That would've been better timing and easier for her to come back because of it.
When Fangirls Lie
Saffi was hilarious in this. I was laughing at every silly thing she did to get what she wanted. I wasn't interested in the beginning because I thought it was just about women doing whatever backstage and once I caught on it was just funny. I really enjoyed this on here.
When Fangirls Cry
This was really a great story that I could nott stop reading. I didn't understand Staffan's response to the news though. I think the prince took it all in stride and I'd really like to read his story. Saffi really should've let it go when he was so against not getting married but then it probably wouldn't have been this good. What Staffan went through to get her back was fantastic. I love these and can't wait to read what's going to happen with Rathe.
How Not to be Seduced by Dukes
Just great! Rathe has some major issues that the little bit told about it makes you want to read more with him and his parents. I was shocked with what was really going on with Mary. Still wondering why she agreed so easily though, even if she didn't have anywhere to go she kept making it seem like Rathe and her step father had some of the same traits. If she really wanted to be free of him why would she agree to Rathe? I can't wait to read what happens with these two next and also catch up with the rest of the gang.
How not to Marry
The best wedding I've read about. Constantijin was not about to let her back out of going through with it. This was wayyyyyy too short to really enjoy as much as it should've been. It may have been better at the end of their story instead of another one.

This review will be a tad long as it consists of all seven books in this bundle:
Books 1-3: CHASED, COURTED & CAGED
These three book were really fun and entertaining to read. Constantijn and Yanna's love story is a complete train wreck from beginning to middle to almost the end. They sure had their ups and downs. Yanna's character was to young and naive for my tastes. She had some serious self esteem issues and decision making problems that were really frustrating. I didn't like how she turned into a complete airhead all the time and was willing to forgive Constantijn so easily. I'm not sure whether I liked her or just wanted to straight up slap her! Constantijn was purely alpha! I love how vulnerable the author made him, you don't really see that with strong male leads so that was a nice change. Oh and there is enough sexual tension, explicit sexual language and sex to have you internally combusting!
Books 4-5: THE FANGIRL BOOKS
These two books only saving grace was the incredibly hot and explicit sex! I thought I wanted to slap Yanna but now I KNOW that I want to slap the stupid out of Saffi! How could a smart girl like her act so fu*king stupid! I'm embarrassed just to be a woman reading about this girl. I know she's just 19 but come on...grow a pair and man up! I was so disgusted with her lies and subsequent actions to keep Staffan...I can't even write anymore on her. Staffan wasn't any better...that's all I can say...these two books: EPIC FAIL!!!
Book 6: HOW NOT TO BE SEDUCED BY A DUKE
I actually liked this book a bit better than the 5 books that come before it. I feel so bad for Mary, being abused and molested by her step-father! I wanted to kill that man. Even though she is younger than Yanna & Saffi, I think she's a bit stronger than them. Unfortunately we will have to wait for book two, I hope there will be a book two, to see where exactly her place and relationship with Rathe stands. There are too many loose ends for there not to be a second book...but so far this book is way more interesting than the others!
Book 7: HOW NOT TO MARRY A BILLIONAIRE
Constantijn is still a crazy, totally sensitive, sexually dominating alpha chasing Yanna who is still annoying as hell and can't make decisions to save her life! God help that marriage...
Thoughts on the bundle: I pushed my way through this bundled set because I paid for it, that's the only reason. Ms. Tee is fabulous at writing sexually intense, explicit scenes between her characters, which make her books super hot. What I don't like about these books is that the female leads are all teenagers, except Yanna (she's 24), who are quite frankly too young, naive, stupid and ignorant to handle these three grown men and the type of relationships they want/expect from their women. I hate how they lied and degraded themselves just to have these men. The age difference is crazy but not farfetched, which is fine if they were only more mature...

There are too many loose ends for there not to be a second book...but so far this book is way more interesting than the others!
Book 7: HOW NOT TO MARRY A BILLIONAIRE
Constantijn is still a crazy, totally sensitive, sexually dominating alpha chasing Yanna who is still annoying as hell and can't make decisions to save her life! God help that marriage...
Thoughts on the bundle: I pushed my way through this bundled set because I paid for it, that's the only reason. Ms. Tee is fabulous at writing sexually intense, explicit scenes between her characters, which make her books super hot. What I don't like about these books is that the female leads are all teenagers, except Yanna (she's 24), who are quite frankly too young, naive, stupid and ignorant to handle these three grown men and the type of relationships they want/expect from their women. I hate how they lied and degraded themselves just to have these men. The age difference is crazy but not farfetched, which is fine if they were only more mature...

FOR MORE REVIEWS AND GIVEAWAYS, DO CHECK OUT MY BLOG:
PLOT: 4
CHARACTERS: 4
COVER: 3
OVERALL RATING: 5
Seriously, who wouldn't love the way Marian Tee writes?
She makes readers laugh due to the silliness of her characters and makes them cry with the heart wrenching scenes where there would be conflict between the couples.
One thing that kind of bothers me is her books is almost predictable to me. I don't know if I'm psychic, so maybe that's the reason... but her books starts off with a nerdy girl who meets someone way out of her league, then the guy would convince her that she is wonderful, after that their would be some sort of misunderstanding that would cause them to break up and usually the guy would be the one to realize his mistakes and ask forgiveness.

I was given ARC for this boxed set; however I had already purchased 5 out of the 7 books included. I have to say that the first book I read by author Marian Tee was “When Fan Girls Lie” and I became hooked. In fact, I have been buying her books ever since.
Eternally Seduced: A New Adult Romance Boxed Set (7 Book Bundle) by author Marian Tee. Included in this wonderful box set are: Chased, Courted, Caged, When Fan girls Lie , When Fangirls Cry, How Not to be Seduced by Dukes, and How Not to Marry a Billionaire.
As a reader I can say that this is a wonderful boxed set that includes awesome reads. If you are looking for an author who connects with not only her characters, but to her readers, Marian Tee is the one for you. If you are like me, this is a great chance to experience the world of the “Pussketeers” who are some wicked hot men that have no problem in showing that they are Alphas.

Unfortunately I was not impressed with this series for the following reasons:
-Each story lacked substance, some more than others.
-The male characters in 2 of the 3 stories treated their women like f**k buddies.
-1 of the stories had horrible transition between events. I continuously flipped back to read over to ensure that I had not missed a part.
-I had a hard time keeping up with 1 of the stories due to the excessive number of lies that the female character continued to tell her love attraction. Almost everything that the female character said was a lie. It got to be too much.
The author certainly wrote the sex scenes well. The sex scenes were very descriptive and there were a significant number of them. Probably the most I've read in any one book. Since this was a boxed set the sex scenes never seemed to stop.

This 7 book box-set really has some of Marian Tee's great series all for 1 great price! The Chased, Courted, & Caged trilogy... The first two books in the Fangirl series...plus the last two books to tease you to read the others in that series! Rock stars, tycoons, or dukes you will find it all here!
The emotions from book to book really grabbed me and I finally understood how some of my friends want the “whole” series before they start reading so they don’t have the “stop/start” in the story line.

Hot sex, but the guys are assholes about 90% of the book. then become likable for the remainder (except for the duke who did a bit better). It reminds me of kdramas. The girl always falling for the douche, but then the douche redeems himself...maybe. Also, the age differences seemed large, unnecessary, and borderline icky. Lastly, a pre-reader would have been good for grammar and continuity issues.

i love that these stories are different from the adult novels we have today. a breath of fresh air. not much sex. more romance. I've been swooning over the pussketeers. with the Duke I think I've been left hanging by his story. what happened?! and that yanna and constantijin wedding, to die for. lol.

Great!!
all the stories were splendid! I liked all the pussketeers. they were very endearing. I can just imagine the really rich men thinking all women were after their money. unfortunately a lot of women would be. I enjoyed the down to earth honest men and women in all the stories.

Poorly written twilight/fifty shades of grey fanfiction.
Underdeveloped characters.
Badly done instalust. Not smexy at all.
Avoid this poorly written bundle of ebooks at all costs. Resist being tempted. You were warned!

This series had me going for a while. I laughed, I cried and I screamed from frustration at some of the situations. I don't want to give away spoilers but these dudes were too much to say the least. They were just as bad as they were good.

I find all the girls extremely naive to the point of being stupid. To do such foolish things. Mary's story has far too many complications, Saffi's too star-crazed, and Yanna, we'll Yanna's too "like" bitchy in a way. And the men are too pompous. I can't even. Ugh.
February 12, 2014
OMG.. All the books that I loved are here.. :) wishing for the second book of how not to be seduced by the duke to be available soon... :)
Can't wait to read it.. :)

Lusty but lengthy
for the most pack I enjoyed the book but I found Steffan and Saffi story to long with too much of the same
thing over and over again.

Y & C 's wedding was hilarious!
Nice short stories on the lives of the Pussketeers. The best story was the one when C & Y were getting married aboard Niks yacht .
