**Drake and Ashley: The Complete Story 1-4

I purchased the boxset Drake and Ashley: The Complete Story 1-4 by Christine Kersey writing as Noelle Stevens and this review was given freely.
This is an action packed and emotional four part rocky romance featuring new marketing college graduate Ashley and consultant business owner Colton Drake. A blizzard brings them together. Drakes protective nature saves Ashley from rape. His prior playboy ways come back to haunt them. Work stressors try to pull them apart but the ending is heartwarming and happy.

*Snowbound: book 1

New Las Vegas college graduate and inexperienced winter driver Ashley becomes stranded alone with consulting business owner Drake in a blizzard in a cabin.
This first installment contains an action packed plot sprinkled with humor and Murphy's law, car trouble, an alpha male, a disgruntled girlfriend, near rape, and two people with a strong attraction with many setbacks. A good opener to the series.

*What I Want: book 2
5 stars
I purchased the book What I Want in the boxset Drake and Ashley: The Complete Story 1-4 by Christine Kersey writing as Noelle Stevens and this review was given freely.
Poignant at times but full of action and drama. Ashley finally makes it to Reno and her apartment with Emily but is torn between her feelings for Drake and the nice guy Emily sets her up with. Jealousy, a brief stint working with Drake, and misunderstandings finally lead towards a budding relationship and a return to the cabin.

*Ever After: book 3
5 stars
I purchased the book Ever After in the boxset Drake and Ashley: The Complete Story 1-4 by Christine Kersey writing as Noelle Stevens and this review was given freely.
Workplace temptations and Drakes' exes challenge Drake and Ashley's relationship resulting in doubt, jealousy and breakup. Conflict, drama, the well meaning involvement of Emily, and humor make this a well balanced and interesting piece with a happy ending.


*Love Me Forever: book 4
5 stars
I purchased the book Love Me Forever in the boxset Drake and Ashley: The Complete Story 1-4 by Christine Kersey writing as Noelle Stevens and this review was given freely.
Drama packed with a happy ending. Wedding planning, a surprise baby, and a new house lend stress to Drake and Ashley's lives but solidify them as a couple.

I had the pleasure to be a beta reader for this amazing book. I fell in love with Ashley and Drake from book 1. They are truly a great couple and watching them grow in each book has been entertaining and heart breaking at times. Drake never being in a committed relationship is unsure how to do things. When temptation comes into play in the form of his newly hired assistant Drake has to work hard at keeping himself in check. Ashley on the other hand has to learn to trust the man she loves. A man who is use to sleeping with whomever and whenever he pleases. This proves to be hard for her. My heart broke during a part in this book. A part where I thought it was going to be it for them. But then Noelle came up with a fun and entertaining way for them to find each other again. The ending made me say "aww" and I can only hope that this will change from a trilogy to a series because I need more of the couple I fell in love with.

A charming conclusion to this lovely and romantic trilogy that has just enough bite to give it some depth. Ms. Stevens has a very nice, clean style of writing that reads very well.
