I brought this box set because I like Wendy Ely. The only book I liked in this was Confessions by Wendy Ely. 4 of the 10 books could have been better. 5 of the 10 books just was boring. I'm glad this set introduced me to authors: Magda Alexander, Victora Barbour, Jessi Gage, Rebecca J Clark, Liz Kelly, Nikki Lynn Barrett, Sydney Holmes, Allie Boniface, & Kylie Gilmore.
I just want to say that I love when authors come together like this and can make a book as good as this one. It also gives me a way to meet new authors that I've never heard of before. It's like meeting someone new and you are getting to know their darkest secrets and how their mind works. They each have their own way of dragging you into the story. When that happens you know you have to go out and read more books by the authors that know how to get you the best story possible.
When you read books like this it is like being with a different man each and every time and just getting to go on a new adventure. If I was asked which guy that I liked the most then I wouldn't have an answer for you. Who could pick from all ten of these men. In a way I am going towards a man or two, but I won't be giving my secret away.
I know that there is a second series coming out. I don't know if it has all the same authors in it or just some with some new ones. Either way I can't wait to read it and see the new adventures I get to experience. Which books will I like more over the other? In that way I hate having my books like this. I would never pick one book over another. No one would want to go through that.
I will tell you that you should really read every single one of these books. You get different stories and meet different kinds of characters. Not every single story is the same and some of the characters take a little bit to realize what they are going through and admit their true feelings. I just want to thank every single author that came together to make this book. When authors work and support each other then you know that it's going to work out.
***ARC from NetGalley in Exchange for an honest review***
This was a very comprehensive collection and took some time to slog through. The gems in this collection are the last 2 books - Beacon of Love and The Opposite of Wild - 2 full books that take you on a roller-coaster journey to the eventual HEA. Heartwarming page-turners that make this collection worth it. Storm Damages ended in a cliffhanger, and I hate those...but the beginning was promising. Confessions was just downright weird , dysfunctional all the way round then a contrived HEA. Reckless took a dip in the paranormal - interesting. Against Her Rules kind of dragged for me with the will she, won't she thing. I have previously posted a review on Shameless - https://www.goodreads.com/review/show.... Good Cop was a nice introduction into that series but nothing earth-shaterring. Baby Stetson was just a confused read for me. Awakening kept dragging on and on and on...they met, flirted, got together, and got together in a weirder way and...you get my drift. But like I said, those two at the end make it worthwhile.
You can't go wrong with this amazing deal! Each book has it's own story and an amazing one at that! You have your romance and drama. You have 10 amazing books to chose from and of course that was the hardest issue I had....choosing which one to start with! But you don't want to miss out on this set! If you haven't yet, go pick up you box set and get started!
As far as smut goes, these stories were for the most part well written. There were a few that had me re-reading sentences and mentally SCREAMING in ANGUISH at the grammar. However, overall I find that these novels weren't as heinous as some of the boxed sets I have read, and I must say it was well worth the 3$ I spent.
