Amazing series!
This series isn't for the faint of heart. It's raw, dirty, and a lot messed up, but you will love the whole series if you like raw. The relationships are messed up but they work. So if you love raw and dirty, take this journey and fall in love with mason, Ava, and the whole group!!!!!!!!

Angel
I loved Nate and Liv. It was such a good second chance. Excellent storyline and the kids were awesome.
Incineration
Oh my god!! Seriously I freaking love Ava she is so strong and a kickass woman and then I hated her And Mason grrr I wanted to slap him upside the head, but my heart broke for the both of them. Courtney was a awesome secondary character.
Tolerance
continuation of Mason and Ava....
I seriously don’t think I have ever been so angry at characters haha I want to beat Rebecca along with mason and Ava and than Kade like WOW I had to have a break after chapter 5 I was in tears and having a serious WTF moment!! By chapter 42 I was like GIVE THIS GIRL A FREAKING BREAK!!
I’m really not sure what more I can say about this book cause I have some pretty mixed feelings!
Hmm time to move onto the next book
Resolution
Conclusion of Mason and Ava...
Ok my first thought is seriously does this woman have a magic V!!! And than I started getting a headache with all the back and forth between Mason and Ava. I’m glad they got their HEA but damn I’m glad it over!
The hunt for Summer
I really liked the storyline although I actually lost interest but made sure to finish it.Lucas and Layla had some wicked chemistry.
Atonement
Back to Mason and Ava. My heart goes out to this couple I don’t think I have ever read about a couple that has gone through so much pain and suffering *sigh*.” And AGAIN Rebecca grrrrr!!! And the stuff with Kade hmmm no that would of been a good freaking story.
Avengement
All I could do is roll my eyes like damn not again!!
Kade
Im so glad that Kade finally got his HEA. Grace was awesome.
Endurance
Mason and Ava again..
I’m losing interested really fast when it comes to these 2 characters. The storylines are good but yeah so over them
Ferocity
Mason and Ava again..
My previous review to the previous book still stands with this one
Fortitude
Ok this is the final book I decide to finish out the boxset although these 2 main characters are really boring by this time.
Seriously again Ava wow I couldn’t even finish it. After everything they have gone through it just didn’t make sense. It started giving me a headache.

For me THE BEST SERIES I have read so far in my life.
I have read in 5 days, with hardly any sleep, but how could I sleep without knowing what was going to happen with Mason Fox and Ava Stone.
Although there are also the stories of Nate(founder of NSC industries), Layla (Mason’s best friend), Kade( best friend of Nate and one of my favorite characters along with Mason and Ava).
The love story between Mason and Ava has made me go crazy. In the first books I did not know whether to love them or kill them, especially Mason, how he made me suffer. And although many times I did not understand how Ava endured at his side, as I read, I realized the deep adoration and devotion they have for each other, although their love is a little toxic and unhealthy.
But I love them with all my heart, I cry some much with these books, I just want they live forever, I would love to continue reading about them much more, bc once you know the Fox’s you become addicted to them.
“I love you so much, Ava.”
“And me, you.”
And now I finish this review listening to Gabrielle Alpin’s ‘The Power of Love’,their song.
❤️you Mason Fox, my glorious bastard.
❤️you Ava Fox, my little warrior, my monster of fortitude.

If you haven't read this series you are 100% missing out !!!! You've never read a series like this. It doesn't even matter that there's so many books because it is never enough. One of the BEST series out there!

Great Series
An absolutely breathtaking, emotional rollercoaster ride that leaves you breathless and heartbroken, but shows the strength of true love and family.

**3.5 stars**
Firstly I just want to say that this series is dark, twisted & brutal, the women are beaten, raped, tortured & held captive so this won't be for everyone!
OK, goodness what didn't happen! I've never read a series where it's evoked such an extreme range of emotions/reactions, at times I could have quite happily throttled both Mason & Ava particularly in Resolution. I really enjoyed Nate & Liv's book Angel, Incineration & rather surprisingly Kade's book. Ferocity had me in tears whilst Nativity had me laughing. Fortitude - I was back to wanting slap both Mason & Ava, but by the time I finished this book I just accepted that how they both reacted & proceeded to behave to the 'news' was just typical Mason & Ava & I shouldn't have expected anything less! One aspect I struggled with is a certain relationship that develops later on in the series, talk about doing a 180 & I've found this relationship hard to accept - but that is just probably me.
Loved how the series followed the characters over a 20+ period & how all the various friends appeared in the various books effortlessly.
This series is full of angst, heartache, infidelity, self loathing & self destruction but these couples love with a fierce determination & are incredibly loyal to one another & will do anything to protect their love ones.
Ready to read Mason's Diary, Jays book Forbidden Pleasures & Decay.

A very complete box set
Ava and Mason Fox. This box set is the entire series, their shoe lives. I enjoyed this series very much. The reason for three stars is that certain parts of it felt rushed and disjointed at times. For example, Kades book had me questioning whether I had missed pages, it wasn't until the end of his book that it came together for me. Other things that I felt were far fetched were the quickness of all the recoveries from injuries. Plot lines were left hanging. Like what ever happened to Etta and Jaimie Georges son? These were just a couple things that were left in my mind add the series concluded.
My goodness every thing you could possibly think could happen to a character happened to Ava and Mason.
The heat factor of the sexual chemistry 5+ stars

A superb story from D. H. SIDEBOTTOM! **This Box Set is a must for all Erotic Romance ANGST LOVERS! LOVE Mason and Ava, right from the first book they gutted us with their love story, but we keep rooting for them and falling more in love with these characters. Get ready for an emotional ride when reading this box set. My heart was pounding, I was hyperventilating, screaming at my kindle but I was also smiling, laughing and sighing at the beautiful deep love these characters have.
D H Sidebottom has made me addicted to her books through her brilliant story telling and fabulous characters! A must read for everyone!! ***** A fantastic addictive series****

Mason and Ava may be the definition of 'you hurt the ones you love'. At times they were sweet, loving and happy. At times they were angry, hurtful and spiteful. They were surrounded by diehard friends who supported them as individuals and as a couple. Their journey is not for the faint of heart.

Holy Shit, what can I say but Fckn WOW!!! Awesome job DH. what a box set! yes it took you through a journey, it took you through life. I went through so many emotions and loved every single one. Truly AMAZING, Forever I will love Mason n Ava, and not just them the while NSC family.

Loved mason and ava. Ava is one strong woman with every mason put her through.

Excellent boxset, but it was mainly about Mason and Ava and not Nate and Liv, they showed up occasionally. Probably some of the hotest sex scenes in a book for a long while and so many tears.
