Determined to find her inner sex diva, Melina Parker enlists her childhood friend, Max Dalton, to tutor her after hours. Instead, she ends up in the wrong bed and gets a lesson in passion from Max's twin brother, Rhys Dalton, a man Melina's always secretly wanted but never thought she could have.
Book #2 - Bedding The Bad Boy
This bad boy is ready to work some magic...
Identical twin and Las Vegas performer Max Dalton has always been the number one bad boy in his family, and he's appreciated the women and fame that comes along with his reputation.
Grace Sinclair is on a mission when she comes to Vegas, one that involves asking Max, her best friend's brother-in-law, to give her the pleasure no man's ever been able to. She suspects Max has more layers than he lets people see, but she's determined to keep her heart safe even as she offers him her body.
What neither of them plan on is love--or the triangle the media stirs up with Max's blonde bombshell actress friend.
Will Grace see beyond Max's bad boy façade long enough to trust him with her heart? And will Max figure out what he really wants before he loses the one woman who makes him believe in love again?
Book #3 - Bedding The Billionaire
Free-spirited Lucy Conrad enjoys her friends but keeps others at a distance, especially her affluent and judgmental family... and the billionaire she once dated, Jamie Whitcomb. Despite their explosive chemistry, experience has proven she'll never fit into his world.
Charismatic Jamie enjoys work, women, and wealth. When duty demands he take over running the family business, he jumps in full-throttle; his only regret is Lucy's refusal to take the ride with him.
Then tragedy strikes and Lucy realizes that in order to gain custody of her orphaned niece, she must prove she can fit back into the high-society world she once rejected. The solution? Accept Jamie's make-believe marriage proposal, and be seen as the type of mother her niece deserves. Respectable. Controlled. Willing to play the game.
With her faux-fiancé by her side, Lucy exchanges dirty martinis and leather for champagne and silk. But when the passion between Lucy and Jamie only grows greater, they have to make a choice: back away from each other and not get hurt... or risk everything for the kind of love money can't buy.

You have three young women & three young men . The women are Melina, Grace & Lucy and the men are Max, Rhys & Jamie. Each book is about a couple although they are friends so they are thru the complete book.Virna is a very good Author, she is very descriptive and let’s you know what they are feeling! You’ll become entangled with the characters ! I would definitely recommend this box set.
Bedding the Wrong Brother was such a fun read. This friend to lovers read had such a fun twist that could've turned into this big dramatic unnecessary joy suck, but the author managed to save us from that. Thank you Ms. DePaul. This is one of those great beach reads that you can just lay back and enjoy from beginning to end. It's not all light and fluffy but there isn't anything major to drag us down.
Melina was best friends with twins Max and Rhys pretty much her whole life. Although most people couldn't even tell them apart Melina could. Max was the one she felt super comfortable and casual with but Rhys was the one that made her heart beat too fast and want things that she knew the super sexy Rhys would never want from the likes of her. When she's tired of being cheated on and being straight out told by her exes that she's lousy in bed Melina, with the help of her 2 girl besties, decided that she would talk to Max and have him teach her how to be good in bed. After all, he's never had a problem with the women, so he has to know a thing or two and she has no feelings for him so he's the safest person to ask.
Rhys and Max have an amazing career in magic. With their good looks and star status they never want for female companionship. But there's only one woman Rhys has ever really wanted and unfortunately she never seemed to feel the same feelings for him that she seemed to have for Max. So when he shows up for Melina's birthday and finds her scantily dressed and propositioning him in his hotel room Rhys considers it a gift from God. That is until he finds out that she thinks he's Max and then it all comes out. What follows is a new pact made between friends that quickly turns to the truth coming out and all kinds of sexy passion and deep conversations.
Bedding the Bad Boy 3 Stars
Bedding the Bad Boy was even better than the first book of the Bedding the Bachelors series. With this series you just get a comfortable read without all kinds of unnecessary angst and drama.
Max was misunderstood and it held him back in so many ways. He was never convinced that he could have the family and forever love because everyone always told him he was the fun womanizer. All he really wanted was a woman to believe in and see the real him.
Grace wants a family more than anything. So much so she has decided to use a service that would hook her up with a surrogate. They would create a baby and co-parent but never have any kind of relationship. She's given up on any kind of forever after. I mean she has never even had an orgasm with a man. So, she's decided to give up on counting on a man for anything. She has decided to take control of her life and make her dreams of a family come true.
Max challenged Grace to let him show her how a man could really pleasure a woman. And if he could change her mind to go into starting a family by route of contracts and business deal that would be all the better. He saw the real Grace and knew she was selling herself short. He didn't bargain for her returning the favor and seeing the real him. I loved this relationship. Max was so patient with Grace and so hot!!! He also opened himself up and made himself really vulnerable which was refreshing to read.
Bedding the Billionaire 3 Stars
Bedding the Billionaire is a nice quick read that doesn't get too deep or dramatic but has enough to keep the reader interested.
Lucy was raised with money and it left her knowing one thing and that is that she never wants to be in that world again. She always wore the wrong thing or said the wrong thing. It was a constant stress that she never wanted to revisit. Falling in love with Jamie was a disaster in the making. It was fine when she thought he was just a professor like her but once she found out that he was a billionaire her world fell apart around her.
Jamie was not your typical rich guy. He didn't care about the social traps that abounded. He enjoyed the perks that his money provided but he didn't overindulge and he definitely didn't get wrapped up in social climbing. When Lucy freaked out and left him finding out about his financial situation he did what he thought was right and stepped back to give her the space she needed. After all he had a girlfriend years ago that couldn't handle his wealth and that ended tragically.
Jamie and Lucy find their way back to one another when Jamie partners with Lucy's best friend's husbands. They were always thrown back together as they would all get together often. But, when tragedy strikes Lucy's family and her whole foundation is rocked she needs Jamie and he is more than happy to step up.
To find happiness a person doesn't need to be perfect, they only need to be true to themselves. Melina, Grace and Lucy were the right fit for Reese, Max and Jamie. Ellen Lange blended the sassy and sweet with sexy and insecure. Virna Depaul is a risk worth taking.
3.5 This was a good boxed set about a set of friends and finding the one for them. It was slightly over the top at times but nothing to bad. I think the last book was my favorite of the three but then there is more to this series so that might change.
Whether the fun is with handcuffs, whipped cream, or other fun things, it can never be said this box set is boring. :) The characters and storylines are fun, sassy, courageous, and enjoyable to read.

Twists, turns, sorrow and happiness makes this a great box set
I absolutely adored these series; they were both incredible and thrilling. The first book in Virna De Paul's series, in particular, had me completely hooked. I've always had a soft spot for friends-to-lovers romance, and this story was expertly crafted.
The dynamic between Rhys and Melina takes a turn after a night where Melina finds herself in the wrong bed but with the right brother. Dealing with self-esteem issues from past relationships and being told she's not good in bed, Melina decides to seek help from one of the twins, Max Dalton, to improve her bedroom skills. Since she views Max only as a friend and he's known for his expertise in that department, it seems like a straightforward plan.
However, things take an unexpected turn on the agreed-upon night when someone else enters the room. Instead of Max Dalton, it's Rhys Dalton. Despite Melina usually being able to distinguish between the identical twins, the darkness plays tricks on her senses. Rhys, secretly interested in her, seizes the opportunity and convinces her to let him be her tutor.
The story unfolds with a blend of humor, romance, and the complexities of mistaken identity, making it a truly engaging read.
These are the stories of two magician brothers and their billionaire investor friend, how each of them navigates their way through love and business when none of them ever planned on finding love. It is also the story of the three women who would change the way these men thought about women and relationships. Women who have particular interests when it comes to sex and relationships and have their own reasons for becoming involved with these men, none of them looking for love in particular. Each story has a sweet side and an erotic side, though the stories were all a little too similar. The third was probably my favorite because neither of them saw it coming, and it is a second chance romance which are one of my favorites.
The author has some good character development, though her males are a bit wishy washy for alpha bad boys. The plots are not as well developed as I would have liked, but all-in-all it was a decent set and left me wondering about some of the background characters. I hope to some day revisit this author and see how she got some of those characters to their HEA.
Read the first two ebooks that already had previously downloaded individually when free on kindle and the third book in the series read from this box set.
I can honestly say that Melina and Rhys in 1st book set the tone well, however then read Grace and Max's and enjoyed it more. Jamie and Lucy in book three however outshone them easily for me and became my now favorite pairing.
This is an interesting combo of erotica and regular romance combined and the fact that the characters develop from book to book makes it even better as they have a chance to grow on the reader. Especially given some of the many and varied obstacles each couple faces before getting their final HEA.
I really enjoyed each of these romances. They're fun and sexy and full of emotion and heart. The only thing I didn't like was the excessive southern idioms that Grace would always spit out. I'm southern and yes we have funny, weird sayings, but not every third sentence. It could have been just as effective at about 1/3 of what is featured here. Otherwise, I really enjoyed these reads.
There are 3 delicious books in this set. Melina, Grace & Lucy are best friends who make a deal with each other on girls' night. Each of them has to go through with a secret fantasy/plan of theirs or face the other two. The men they are matched with in each book are out of this world - Rhys, Max and Jaime. The course each couple takes to get to their HEA is intense, romantic & hot. This set goes in my collection of to be reread and often.
I couldn't put these books down even for sleep. From the moment I began reading these three books I was hooked. All the characters are incredible and so life like. There's angst and steam that you won't believe. At times you'll be sitting on the edge of your seat or bitting your nails. I loved how these characters overcame so much to be happy and to love and be loved. These three beautiful books will stick with me for time.
Absolutely brilliant. Beautifully written, compelling read. You won't want to put it down. I didn't want it to end. I'm an avid reader of this genre and can honestly say I loved this boxed set. The characters are so well written, the love stories make you sigh, and the hot, steamy scenes are just that. I am, without a doubt, going to buy more of this author's work.
I'vd started following the brother's series then fell in love with the rest.
Virna is just so awesome! She has time and again proven how her stories can/ uniquely touch hearts with her humor, romantic episodes yet very realistic uncomplicated plots but mind you, keeps me craving due to it's twists. Once you start, you'll never put it down.I can't wait to read more!
Excellent series full of laughter, spicy scenes, very interesting characters as they uncover how their friends accept them, become
Their mentors aiding in making them a better person and how to fulfill all their dreams.... Thanks author and look forward to Reading more of your works !!!
These are well developed stories with believable characters who have some issues. The men who come to be the right man for the right woman also have issues. Together they find that love is worth compromise.
This is a great set of books. What I like about them is each book has a ending, they go together or can be read by themselves. They do not leave you hanging. Great story in each.
These books were awsome.All 3 books were great stories & well written.The characters were great in all 3 books.It was hard to try stop reading & take a break after the 1st book. No cliffhangers.
I am really happy I downloaded this box set. I always enjoy books where the characters are not afraid to have fun, and also show just how human they are as well. Kudos Virna! Heat!!!!!
