This series grabs your attention right out of the gate and pulls you right in! The Davenports Box Set has it all! Hot men, strong women, witty banter, tears, and hot steamy scenes!

The Unwanted Wife (Book 1) - 5 stars

Have you ever had feelings for someone that weren't reciprocated? What would you do if you found out you were wrong?

He has a secret that could destroy everything. Is she strong enough to survive its aftermath? You'll love Nathan and Skylar’s story and what it uncovers!

The raw emotion and healing journey of these characters pulls at your heartstrings. This captivating and profoundly moving tale that brought me to tears will linger with you long after the final page. It's been quite awhile since a story brought me to such tears.

I loved all the witty puns, especially the Potterverse! Not to mention the names of her pastries and the cute phrases used instead of swearing had me LOL!

One small secret can change your life but fate has a way of stepping in and setting things right.

The Imperfect Marriage (Book 2) - 5 stars

Are you willing to give up on something special without ever giving it a chance?

I devoured this captivating tale of two souls destined to be together and couldn't put this book down! I was drawn right in from page one and wanted more with these wonderful characters. You will too!

They met under unusual circumstances and knew at first glance there was something special between them. Fate has a way of doing that.

Seeing Vivian grow into the woman she was meant to be was enlightened. Not to mention, the fun facts Vivian spurts out! Right up my alley!

Quentin’s past pulled at my heartstrings. When he finally realized how important it is to go all in with the one you love, no matter where it might take you was heartwarming.

This just proves how quickly life can change and there is someone out there for everyone. All it takes is continually choosing each other and communication.

The Unplanned Wedding (Book 3) - 3 stars

While I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books in this series, I just couldn't get into Knox and June's story. She followed his every command in hopes he’d reward her for it and lost herself in wanting to please him no matter what he asked of her that it really turned me off on her character.

He's constantly calling her by the wrong name to reinforce that she doesn't mean anything to him, but it's degrading and disrespectful. She at times corrects him but not all the time which indicates that he's slowly chipping away at her confidence in herself and self-esteem.

Their story felt like a chore to drag myself through and that's not what I enjoy reading. The pace was so often repetitive. To be honest, if there weren't more books in the series I don't know if I would have finished it.

No matter what type of relationship you have it's important to not lose who you are.

The Reluctant Wife (Book 4) - 5 stars

We’ve all experienced tragedy in our lives. It's ok to move on and not a betrayal. It's honoring their memory by not letting what happened destroy you completely.

I devoured this captivating tale of two souls destined to be together and couldn't put this book down! I was drawn right in from page one and wanted more with these wonderful characters. You will too!

Ryot and Princess Aurelia's story is so moving and gripping that it swept me away with its unforgettable characters and emotional depth.

He’d spent years building walls, protecting himself from the kind of vulnerability that love required. Until he met her. Swoon.

The best way to heal is to feel needed, to know you're valued. To contribute to something larger than yourself.

If you’re given a second chance, I hope you won’t be so afraid of what happened in the past that you’ll shut yourself off from possibilities. You'll be surprised as to what life has in store.

The Rejected Wife (Book 5) - 5 stars

There's no such thing as coincidence. Things happen how and when they're supposed to.

I devoured this captivating tale of three souls destined to be together and the surprises they encounter on their path to HEA.

Tyler and Priscilla’s meeting has fate written all over it! Circumstances could have changed their lives and sent them on different paths but fate was there to set things right again and again.

My favorite moments surrounded Serene. I couldn't get enough of this sweet little girl! There's something riveting about her especially when she knows things that you can't fathom how she knows! She is the ribbon around this gripping tale that keeps you coming back for more. You won't be able to put this story down!

The Wrong Husband (Book 6) - 5 stars

This is the best book in the series! I couldn't get enough of Connor and Phe’s story! At times it had me on the edge of my seat! You’re going to love it!

Phe’s emotional ride is gripping. I love how caring and insightful she is. It was wonderful seeing her grow to rid herself of the guilt and regret she's been hiding. But time had a way of healing things, especially when paired with consistent effort.

Tomorrow is never guaranteed. Everything we love can be taken away from us in a blink of an eye. So when you find that kind of love, grab onto it with both hands and never let go.

The Christmas Trap (Book 7) - 4.5 stars

I really enjoyed Brody and Lark’s story in finding their HEA. I was so glad that there was more of the lovable Great Dane! I can't get enough of Tiny! I gave it 4.5 stars because the emergency Brody had to deal with at the end of the previous book is never mentioned in this book. What a lost opportunity.

Lark is such a strong woman and can hold her own. It was wonderful seeing her shine in the boardroom! Inspiring!

Brody spent years building walls, protecting himself from the kind of vulnerability that love required. Until he met her.

Fear is a survival instinct. But love isn’t something you survive— it’s something you show up for. Over and over. Even when it’s terrifying. Because it’s worth it.

💍🥂 Seven Brothers, Seven Marriages & One Unforgettable Family 🥂💍
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Seven Davenport brothers. Seven marriages that aren't supposed to become real. One meddling grandfather. And somehow, I just kept turning pages until I had made my way through all 3,000+ of them! 😂❤️

The Davenports was such a fun series to binge because even though every brother gets his own love story, the family connection carries throughout the entire collection. Arthur may claim he simply wants what is best for his grandsons, but let's be serious. This man knows exactly what he's doing! Add Tiny, his Champagne-drinking Great Dane, to the mix, and watching one Davenport brother after another get nudged toward his HEA became part of the fun.

What surprised me was how L. Steele took a recurring marriage-of-convenience theme and made each relationship feel completely different. Nathan and Skylar gave me brother's best friend, incredible chemistry, and a twist I absolutely did NOT see coming. Quentin and Vivian had a significant age gap that somehow made perfect sense for exactly who they were and what they needed from one another. June was everything I wanted opposite the demanding Knox, especially because she could handle everything he threw at her while still bringing out a side of him he didn't show everyone else.

Then there was Ryot and Aurelia. Apparently, sometimes your forever husband really is hiding in your security detail! 😂 Their bodyguard/princess romance brought danger and emotion into the mix, while Tyler and Priscilla gave me a single-dad romance with some major surprises. And I am just saying, if a billionaire clears out a bookstore so I can shop privately and tells me to fill the basket while he's paying, we're probably getting married too. 📚😂

Connor and Phoenix brought an entirely different intensity. Their connection was immediate, obsessive, emotional, and HOT, and I loved how much family remained woven through their story. Finally, Brody and Lark gave the series such a satisfying Christmas romance. Watching bright, determined, Christmas-loving Lark slowly work her way past Brody's emotional walls was the perfect way to finish my Davenport binge. I especially loved that their story felt a little like the princess saving the prince. 🎄❤️

One of my favorite things about reading the complete collection was continuing to see previous characters and family members pop up along the way. These books may work as individual romances, but reading them together made me much more attached to the Davenports as a family. I loved seeing these powerful, stubborn, sometimes emotionally unavailable men repeatedly discover that their carefully arranged marriages were becoming anything but pretend.

Was I prepared to become this invested in seven billionaire brothers and their grandfather's matchmaking schemes? Probably not. Did I happily binge every single one of their romances anyway? Absolutely. 😂

If marriage of convenience is one of your favorite tropes, this box set is basically a binge-reader's dream. You get brother's best friend, age gap, workplace romance, bodyguard/princess, single dad/nanny, opposites attract, forced proximity, plenty of grumpy heroes, strong heroines, family, emotion, unexpected twists, and seven very different happily ever afters.

Seven books. Seven 5-star reads. One very entertaining Davenport family. 💍❤️

Thank you so much to L. Steele for the advanced copy of The Davenports. I had such a wonderful time getting completely lost in this family. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Woah! What a twist! I did not see that coming. What a great talent L.Steele is, this book is beautiful, wonderful and brilliant. A fantastic performance from both narrators.

The imperfect marriage
5 stars
Oh how this couple makes sense. There’s a big age gap but it’s exactly what they need in each other. Their chemistry is intense. A brilliant performance.

The unplanned wedding
5 stars
I knew I loved this leading lady from the very beginning. She has such a big heart. There’s lots of reasons why this relationship shouldn’t work but they both fall helplessly in love with each other. A fantastic performance.

The reluctant wife
5 stars
What a perfect way to find your forever husband. Why look around everywhere when you can find them in your security detail. These two are great together. A brilliant performance.

The rejected wife
5 stars
What a lot to take in all in the same day! No wonder this Alpha is confused. With a nudge in the right direction these two find each other again. A fantastic performance.

The wrong husband
5 stars
When stalking, oh sorry protection escalates into instant feelings. Can this couple fall in love as with all the other Davenport brothers? Their chemistry is so hot. A brilliant performance.

The Christmas trap
5 stars

These characters are so good together. There’s past trauma that needs addressing but these two belong together. A fantastic performance.

I listened to this box set on Audible, and I loved every minute of it. All of the Davenports are broody, take-charge men, with a persistent grandfather who demanded that all of his grandsons get married in order to receive their inheritance. I especially enjoyed the dynamic between the eldest Davenport and his love interest—her wit and resilience matched his intensity perfectly. I also loved the youngest brother, whose charm and humor brought a lighter touch to the series, making his story feel warm and heartfelt. Each character had unique traits that made them memorable and engaging throughout the box set.

Awesome Primrose Hill Billionaire Boxset!
I read about each of the Davenport Brothers when their individual books first came out. I loved these possessive alpha males who all find their strong match with the push of a conniving Grandfather and champagne loving Great Dane. The books are all well written steamy swoonworthy marriage of convenience romances with chemistry, drama and lots of captivating twists along the way. This boxset offers a wonderful chance to read them all at once rather than reading each as a standalone.
I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

A masterpiece by L.Steele. If you are fimiliar with the universe in which this is set you will love it. This follows the Davenports and their quest to find love with the help from their grandfather and Tiny. Grandfather only wants what is best for his grandkids and wants them to be happy. Each of them are on their own journey to find love in the most unusual places and with the person they least expect it. I absolutely love this series 10/10 would recommend

Did I binge read this whole boxset? Absolutely! why? because it's my favourite trope - A marriage of convenience. We following the seven Davenport brothers through their trails of finding their HEA, nothing like a bit of morally grey billionaire action with grouchy grumps and strong FMC to bring them to their knees.

I loved working my way through the family as one after another met the women that would change their lives. The women were strong and able to stand up to their emotionally stunted billionaires who were sure they carried no baggage and just knew their minds. The psychic dog Tiny just added to the fun. It was great!
