This is my review for this whole series.

I greatly enjoyed this series. They're short books and I've found that often with short books around 100 pages or under, the writing isn't always very good. This is not the case with this series.

It's been a while since I've read this genre, romance but not dark or mafia like I usually do just good old fashioned romance and honestly it's reminded me that I need to read more of this genre because I always enjoy them.

This won't be my last series by these authors I already found an old series I owned several books from and I'll be starting that tonight.

4 stars all around.

My Rating: FIVE STEAMY STARS *****
Wow! We have lift off!!! I began reading Ellie Danes work a few months ago and I was so impressed with her talent that I began devouring everything she has published. So, needless to say when I discovered she had partnered with Katie Kyler for an exciting new serialized collaboration, The Edge Series, I could hardly wait to snag the first book of the series , Edge of Attraction. And folks, these two authors are a dynamic duo who do not disappoint. Their unique writing styles complement each other brilliantly. The book is written in the first person with dual alternating points of view from the two primary characters, his and hers by chapter designations. I find this to be my favorite reading preference because it seems to give additional depth and perspective to the characters and makes it so much easier to connect to the story and the people. I really enjoy never having to guess what's going through their minds and how they both feel. The story is modern, fresh, fast paced, well executed, well edited, sweet and romantic. The dialogue is smart, exceptionally well written and flows effortlessly. The characters are always the main attraction for me in any book and the authors have done an outstanding job of crafting the players in this story. They are captivating, engaging, endearing, very relatable and sinfully sexy. Danes and Kyler have expertly combined these elements into a riveting and entertaining romance. These two very talented authors have given us a beguilingly seductive Cinderella story we can all easily identify as our own secret recurring dream to find a handsome Prince Charming who will sweep us off our feet, see past our outer facade, recognize our inner beauty and whisk us away to a perfect life. And in this case, Cinderella is none other than unappreciated, unremarkable and unnoticed thirty two year old Allison Mahoney, hardworking employee extraordinaire of Tolbert and Tolbert also known as Scintilla, the newest and hottest matchmaking website on the market. Allison has dedicated the last three years of her life to her job and her handsome boss, Joshua Tolbert. Joshua is the CEO of Tolbert and Tolbert and the genius behind the creation of the wildly popular Scintilla. No matter what she does or how hard she tries, it seems she can't get the smexy Joshua to notice her. Heck, he can't even get her name right. He had even called her Abby when she presented him with a birthday gift. Why would he remember her? He's wealthy, gorgeous, charismatic and dates supermodels for heaven's sake. Why would he be interested in a plain-jane like her? The only notice she ever gets from anyone is a few occasional remarks from the younger brother, Jaime Tolbert, second in command to Joshua. Heartbroken and disillusioned after the birthday gift fiasco, Allison decides to take the bull by the horns and step out of her comfort zone by finally creating a profile on her company's website and is more than a little shocked when less than twenty four hours later she's contacted with a "spark" and it's a ninety eight percent match. Huh? Someone is interested in her??? The profiles allow no real names, no email addresses and no personal photos until the first date when the couple meet and see each other for the first time. It's all part of the matching process. Matches are based on likes and desires submitted by the applicants along with several personality and character tests specifically designed to determine compatibility. The company has been wildly popular not to mention extremely successful so there must really be something to this special formula they use. Well, if they can find a match for everyone else, then they should be able to do the same for her. She's ready to take the plunge and agrees to a first date. She'll just forget about her bruised heart and her irresistibly sexy boss, Joshua Tolbert, and move on with her life! Or will she??? Maybe not because her match and blind date is none other than Joshua Tolbert, her boss! Huh? The only problem - apparently he doesn't recognize her. What the heck? What's a girl to do??? Why she continues to go out with him, of course! So, after three wonderful dates, is it possible that he still doesn't realize who she is???Could Joshua be so shallow and so superficial that he can't even connect the dots between PhillyGirl and Allison from the office??? Hmmm....I wonder??? Joshua Tolbert has worked four long years to finally get his company where it is today and now he wants to enjoy the fruits of his labor. He has charm, wealth, a new home, a thriving business, recognition for his hard work. Yep, most people would say he has it all. His only problem - he can't seem to find the girl to share it with. He wants "the one", that one special girl who will make his life complete. He has no problem finding beautiful women but they all seem to be selfish and shallow and only interested in one thing - his money and that's not what he's looking for in real relationship. After another disappointing date, Joshua has an epiphany. He'll create a profile and try the matching service on his own website. After all, he has nothing to lose; he just may find the woman of his dreams and much to his surprise, it seems his company's dating app is just as great as he proclaims. He's been matched with a beautiful and intelligent young woman, and she just may be "the one". The only problem - he doesn't know her real name. Or does he??? It couldn't possibly be pantsuit girl from work??!! Could it??? Hmmm... I wonder??? Beautiful, dedicated auburn haired employee who is secretly in lust with her boss-check! Wealthy, handsome and apparently very superficial and quite clueless CEO who can't see the forest for the trees-check! A dating app and a surprising blind date-check! Serendipitous love-I believe so! That and I suspect a whole lot more! I can hardly wait for the next installment! Deliciously cute, completely captivating and delightfully entertaining !!!
This is a serial with multiple installments and will include cliffhangers.

Wow...This series just continues to get better and better as each book progress and comes out! This one definitely left me speechless and screaming for book 4 at the end!

Edge of Desire is book 3 in the series and picks up right where the second book leaves off we find Allison and Joshua heading into date number 3 and these two are getting pretty hot and heavy we are talking some major sexual attraction with some hot and steamy texting or shall I say sexting going on between them. Ellie Danes and Katie Kyler did a fantastic job creating a superb storyline in this series from beginning to end this installment is just as great if not better than the other two books each new installment just gets better as the series progresses. There is an emotional struggle going on in this book for Allision since Joshua still doesn't recognize her at work I will say this one definitely has some major drama in it compared to the other two you will find out when you read it and see what I mean and the stuff really hits the fan, you will get angry yourself to the point you will want to throw your e-reader at the wall I really wanted too at one point! I can't wait to see what the next book has in store for us!

This one is a definite must read! If you haven't downloaded it and added it to your TBR list yet do it now don't miss out on this hot and steamy sexual series today!

Not liking Josh

The first 2 books in this series were pretty good. Short and kept my interest. This book started out ok, but how dense can Josh be? Especially for a billionaire? Not the brightest bulb on the tree. In fact, I don't think his blue is even on! And how he treats Allison? Boo. Hiss. She can do better!!

Serves him right

It serves him right when he finally put 2 and 2 together. It is kind of deserved with what she is doing to the brother. It is different but similar seeing that sometimes you only want to see certain things

Still not a romance. Still no real chemistry. But at least Allison and Joshua had sex. Kinda. It's loosely described let's say. I still think she's a dunce and he's a superficial douche. At least he finally knows she's the same Allison from work. Idiot.

I'm liking this story but it's a bit too light for my taste. I'd prefer a bit more angst. I think it will heat up now as Joshua has finally figured out who Phillygirl actually is!
