Awesome!
This was a really great box set. There wasn't one novel/novella that I did like and that's rare for these anthologies. And all for 99 cents!

What an awesome lot of books I have given 4 stars overall but rated between 3.5-5 stars for different books
They are all defiantly worth the read a very entertaining lot of books
Wilder Nights By N.A Alcorn - 4 Stars
Great fun read. Quick and easy to follow story
Daniella has loved Penn since she was a little girl they share one night together and then he leaves the next day. They cross paths again and both share an attraction to each other still but neither lets on. Penn owns a strip club and when Daniella needs money for school she tries to start working there.
It’s good to read their story from both POV’s
The One by Jacquelyn Ayres - 5 Stars
Hilarious starts off from Kip's POV this man is so funny and it's great to be inside his head
I felt like I was there with them when they first started to explore their feelings for each other Jacquelyn Ayres has done an awesome job of pulling you into the story
Very entertaining book and great story
Throw Caution to the Wind by Kelly Collins - 4 Stars
A sweet second chance romance between Jackson and Savvy
This was a quick read but I really enjoyed it and liked that I could easily read it all in one sitting.
One Last Night by Laurel Ulen Curtis - 3.5 Stars
The characters like to joke around a lot there are some funny parts but I felt like I didn't really connect to the characters
Hard To Handle by Ella Fox - 5 Stars
Great short story
Lots of emotions packed into it but it is a really nice story to read
One Summer by Elle Jefferson - 4 stars
Great story I really enjoyed it
I was a bit weary at first because of the whole talks to ghosts thing in a romance but the Author did a really good job with the story and kept me engages the whole time.
Savor Me by Aly Martinez - 4 stars
Was very entertaining, hot sex scenes and I loved how it ended and where they all ended up
Never Wanted More by Stacey Mosteller - 3.5 Stars

Nice easy to follow story
Sweet Southern Sorrow by Tessa Teevan - 4 Stars
I was given this book as an ARC by Tessa and absolutely loved this story
MMMMM Sawyer he is so sweet and hot and OMG I want Sawyer
This is a story about Sawyer and Cheyenne they fall in love over summer when they are young and then are separated after certain events and don’t see or talk to each other for 6 years.
“Don’t, pretty girl. Don’t get all in your head and start pushing me away. I know you remember, too. How good we were together. How good we could be again.”
The story jumps between timelines so you are getting parts of the back story while also seeing them reconnect in the current time.
I really love the way the story plays out between Sawyer and Cheyenne there is a lot of pain and angst but it flows really well.
And did I mention how HOT Sawyer is!

I've written reviews for some of the books within this set, but need to leave reviews for the remainder, will do so later today.
Wilder Nights by N.A. Alcorn.
3 stars
Was a bit strange to get into at first. Some parts flowed and other parts seemed forced. A number of lines got repeated throughout, which was annoying, cos hello we've already read them. Was almost as if the writer just repeated them to get the word count up.
It did frustrate me that
There is actually a really good story here and with only a few tweaks it would be a freaking awesome story.
The One by Jacqueline Ayres
5 stars
OMG this story is bloody awesome. I'm lost for words, I really am.
I'll be honest, at the start I wasn't sure I was gonna like it. It started with Kips POV, and there was a lot of humour, but I couldn't see where the story was going to go, especially given what he was getting up to at the beginning. It pulled you in and you start to think it's going to go in one direction, then 'bam' it goes somewhere else, albeit with a hint of where you thought it was going to go. Then 'bam' before you know it you're in this emotional rollercoaster, still with humour mixed in. Then you're thinking "whoa, wtf? Didn't see that coming at all". Then before you know it you're at the end, really disappointed because it's finished, and you just want to keep reading it.
My only criticisms are:
This is the first story I've read by this author, and it certainly will not be the last. I'm heading over to Amazon Kindle now to check out her other works.
This story exemplifies why box sets like this work, you get a chance to try out an author you wouldn't necessarily have gone out of your way to read.
Throw Caution To The Wind by Kelly Collins
3 stars
Mmmmmmmmmm, I liked this story, but I didn't love it. I wish I had something constructive to say as to what I did and didn't like about it, but I don't. All the elements were there for this to be a 4 or 5 star story, however on some level it just didn't grab me.
Just because I haven't given it 4 or 5 stars, don't let that put you off of reading this, after all I did like it. It is an interesting read and the subject matter (death) is handled well.
One Last Night by Laurel Ulen Curtis
4 stars
I didn't read the synopsis of this story before starting to read it, so didn't know what I was getting myself into. It was another one that I really didn't think I'd enjoy at the beginning. TBH the prologue was unnecessary, as it is repeated within the story almost word for word. Plus to me a prologue is for a bit of background to something that has taken place before the actual story itself. So having an excerpt from the story as a prologue was rather strange.
Anyways this ended up being a really fun story, and I'll definitely be looking out for other work by this author.
Hard to Handle by Ella Fox
3 stars
It was due to being a fan of Ella Fox that led me to buy this box set in the first place. I love the Hart series, and was excited to read some new stuff from her.
I liked this story, however I didn't love it. For me it just wasn't on the same level as her other work. Having said that, the subject of mental health is dealt with brilliantly, so major kudos to Ms Fox for that. I have mental health issues, so it was excellent to see it handled so well.
Since I finished reading this story a word has been on the tip of my tongue to describe some elements of it, and it's just come to me after I'd given up hope of remembering it, twee. I shouldn't compare it to the Hart series, but it just lacked the edginess that the Hart series has, and certain parts of the storyline did come across as twee.
Bottomline I liked this story and I'll definitely continue reading works by Ella Fox. If this was turned into a series I would read it as well.

I loved this box set. This introduced me to new authors and series that I may not have ever found. Each story has a different flavor and each one was well written. I can't wait to read all the series around these.

Nice combo of some good authors. Really good read!
May 4, 2014
I enjoy the box sets, out of the 11 books there were only 2 I didn't care for. Not that they were bad they just seemed rushed towards the end of the stories.
July 8, 2014
Loved the sexy, steamy novellas of some of my favorite authors. Quick read but totally worth it! Jacquelyn Ayres, Ella Fox and Tessa Teevan rocked it out of the park!

Ella only. Sweet story.

I only read Ella Fox's story this far and was pleasantly surprised by it. It was short and to the point but made you feel all at the same time...

April 17, 2015So far I've only read Ella Fox's Hard To Handle. It was a very short read but it was freaking awesome!!! So much happened in just those few chapters that you felt like it was this long novel. She is just that great of a writer that she can make her character's and the story flow and come together with so much in such a short time.
August 5, 2014
I only read the first 7 stories and while I initially wrote a quick review for each of them, I'm not posting them because overall this book did nothing more than frustrate me. Of the books I read, there wasn't one that stood out with even as much as a 3 star rating. Sad.

Good short read. I love Ella Fox and will read anything she writes. Hard to Handle is different from her other book but still had a good storyline for a short novella.
