~Never Close Enough~
The last thing Ella Sinclair needed on her birthday was a cheating boyfriend, a broken heart, and a dead car battery in a remote beach town. At her greatest moment of need, a protective and sexy Porter Masters comes to her rescue. Ella takes a holiday week at the coast to discover herself and finds her attraction to Porter potent and undeniable. Uncertain of their future together, Ella struggles to open her heart to trust again.

Porter Masters takes care of his own: his single mother, his company, and now he’s compelled to protect the beauty that walked into his world. Never one for relationships in his past, Porter discovers that he was waiting all along for Ella. As their time together comes to an end, will Porter fight for the woman who stole his heart? Porter will find a way to keep her, despite the obstacles.

~Never Far Away~
Ella wakes up to a world turned upside down, recovering both physically and emotionally from attacks she can't remember. Her only memory from the past weeks is a nameless voice that echoes in her mind, causing her heart to ache and her soul to seek "Him".

Living a life without Ella is no life at all and Porter decides to do whatever it takes to remind her of their love. Recognizing Porter without remembering him, Ella reacquaints herself with this gorgeous man, their explosive chemistry, and the possibilities that lie ahead.

As Ella's memories resurface so do demons of the couple's past, testing their strength and love. Porter is determined to fight for their future together but will Ella? As everything and everyone that Ella loves gets threatened, she must find a way to fight the darkness of yesterday so that she can live in the light of tomorrow.

~Never Giving Up~
Porter Masters wants nothing more than just to marry his love, Ella.

Ella Sinclair dreams of the day she can call Porter her husband and wants nothing more than to give him a family.

They have overcome many deep and dark obstacles and are finally ready to enjoy their “happily ever after.” The dream they share of marriage and a family, all hang in the balance as they encounter one more obstacle from their past that could ruin everything they have. With more on the line than ever before, Porter will stop at nothing to protect Ella – at all costs.

The past year fighting for their love can’t even compare to the fight they have ahead of them.

With their future happiness at risk, one thing remains true: they are never giving up.

Ella and Porter are a most engaging couple. I wanted a happy ending for them right from the start. However there was just too much jeopardy in these books for me. For goodness sake, give them a break! Sometimes I just long for a ten page book - girl meets boy, they fall in love, the end. No drama!

This was my first books by Anie Michaels and let me tell you I was certainly not disappointed. This box set had it all. Love, Mystery, Heartache, Suspense all wrapped up in one. I immediately fell in love with Ella and Porter. Her birthday was supposed to be a happy time reconnecting and bringing the passion back into her relationship with her boyfriend Kyle but then it ended up being such a terrible day that only got worse. Or did it? With a luck meeting with Porter Masters started out on a not so good level turned into such a magical and tender journey for the two. But life isn't always kind to true love it has to throw in some really dramatic twists into their lives. Many times I found myself screaming at the characters not wanting their love to end. I found that it was very hard to put this series down once I started book one and I was captured into reading all three books in one sitting. I loved the development of Ella and Porter's relationship with all the heartbreak, turmoil, and obstacles that were placed in the path. It renews the concept that there truly is a soulmate for everyone. I highly recommend this series to anyone that loves a good storyline mixed with many different kinds of emotions. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

The story line was just "ok". Ella cried waaaaay too much in this story. Too much of a cry-baby! Can't get passed the fact that they fell head over heels in love with each other after 10 days!! Its so unrealistic!! Way too many over-dramatic emotions and feelings and unnecessary tense moments. I'm all for a good love story, but for Pete's sake. Not a big fan of this series, like I said, it was just "ok". Glad it was a free download, would have been even more disappointed if I would have paid for it!

Good series

After reading the first 3 books, I really want and need a Porter in my life! Thoroughly enjoyed all 3 books, although the last kinda dragged on for me. But none the less a good series!

An Absolute Smorgasbord!

This book has a bit of everything: drama, true love & it's expressions, the challenges of everyday life & the writing is mesmerizing. This author has a way with words & language that's enchanting. I will be buying more books by this author, for sure.

Loved the story

Loved the story but again the mistakes, the stupid stupid mistakes are frustrating and break up the flow of the story, some authors either need new proofreaders or they need them full stop (I'm willing to offer my services free of charge lol in fact one author has already taken me up on that offer..) but if you can see past the silly mistakes then yes, I recommend this box set

It took me awhile to finish this book but it certainly had all the feels.

I will admit that the last book dragged a bit for me and it didn’t have the same appeal as the first two.

Eh

This really should have been just one book. I found myself flipping through the pages just to get the main ideas. Book 1 was good, but it all went downhill, slowly, and slowly, from there.
