Willow Creek #1-4
The Averys of Willow Creek: The Willow Creek Series Books 1 - 4
A USA Today Best Seller!
Travel back to the 1800′s and tangle with ornery town marshals, Indians and schoolmarms who are anything but docile. Willow Creek may be a sleepy little frontier town but the characters who live there are as untamed as the land itself!
Book 1: The Lawman
On the run from her ex-lover…
Jilted by a no-show husband…
And now mistaken for a whore in the Diamond Back Saloon…
Abigail Thornton doesn’t think things can get any worse. That is until a single slap to a man’s face starts a barroom brawl that lands her in the last place she expected to be.
Book 2: The Outlaw
Sarah Hartford always dreamed of a grand adventure. She just never expected to find it in the arms of an outlaw.
Book 3: The Gambler
Emmaline Hunt only had one thing she could call her own. A piece of land that held a secret not even her drunken stepfather knew about. When he gambles it away in a high stakes poker game, Emmaline hatches a plan to get it back. She wants her land, and Tristan Averys money, and she’ll do whatever it takes to get them. All she has to do is convince him she’s there to stay, outwit him, find a way back home and not let a single soul know she has a gold mine bursting at the seems with untapped wealth.
Book 4: The Rancher
Laurel Montgomery wanted a new life, one that didn’t include a man. She’d had enough of their pretty lies and broken promises but one night of reckless abandon weeks before taking a job as the new schoolteacher in Willow Creek would come back to haunt her. The man she thought to never see again turns out to be the father of one of her new students. A man so handsome and rugged he takes her breath away. Too bad she’s sworn off men forever. If only the stubborn man would take no for an answer.

Falling in love with the Averys
This is the second time reading the beginning of this series for me. I enjoyed it the first time and the second (a year later) was even better.

Lily Graison is one author I do not think twice about buying! She hooked me on westerns with the Averys and their friends! This four books set was not available when I read them... if you can- take advantage of this deal! Lily transports you back to a time of Outlaws and Lawmen, damsels who should be in distress but seem to be able to hold their own, and Gamblers- both professional and those who gamble on their hearts. Hearts have been broken in one wat or another and needs help mending... just like the fences of the Avery Ranch. Come on and read about Morgan and Abigail- whom he mistakes a saloon whore- and packs mean right hook. Meet Colt and Sarah- Colt helps kidnap Sarah during bank robbery...find out if she can save herself. Then meet my favorite Tristan and Emmaline ( I LOVE THAT NAME) Emmaline- left alone in a mining camp- will she let Tristan take her claim? And then there is finally Holden and Laurel- a one night stand turns out to so much more when they find each other living in the same town. Sexy Cowboys, Feisty Women- great combo!

Where can I get an Avery? Oh my goodness, those boys seem to get better with each book. I had previously read Lawman, but the other three were new reads.
You get...
Lawman with Abigail and Morgan
Outlaw with Sarah and Colton
Gambler with Emmaline and Tristen
Rancher with Laurel and Holden
and seriously.... for only $.99? What's not to love?!?!?!
Great customer development and the relationships grow naturally. Great story lines, and very good flow. Love the humor! The language might be a little much for some people, but my only complaint is that the stories were a little short and I WANT MORE!!!
It's nice to see stronger women in a time when women weren't supposed have strength.
Great job Lily!

The Averys of Willow Creek is a 4 book bundle of the first books in Lily Graison's Willow Creek series. This entire collection made for a very enjoyable read.
As with all of Ms. Graison's books, there is wonderful character development and an engaging plot. She has a way of bringing the story to life and drawing you in from the start.
If you have not yet read this series or even a book by Lily Graison, you are definitely missing out. Her writing is superb and I am on the edge of my seat waiting of the next one to be released.
ARC received in exchange for an honest review.

Loved this box set! You get the first four books in the series in one bundle and only for $.99. You get four books that are all about cowboys! Who doesn't loved cowboys!
The Willow Creek series, especially the first four books, remind me of the Clayborne series by Julie Garwood but even better since this series focuses more on the aspect of the men being cowboys!

I love all of these stories. I bought them individually and again as this box set. The Avery's are some sexy men, lol. Makes me want to find me a cowboy for myself :) Lily Graison is a great writer. I love all her stories.

Great series!
I love western themed romances and this series is just fantastic! I felt as if I was right there with all of the characters and was part of the story. If you enjoy western romance you need to read this series.

Loved the Averys
Wonderful story of four brothers and the women that loved them. This box set had bank robbers, gold, gamblers,U.S.Marshals, a little tomboy, a woman that was running from a controlling father and fiance. Story of love and family.

This was one of the best historical books I have read. All the brother were unique but at the same time they all shared a sense of family and heart. Beautiful stories that will keep you interested until the very last page
