Awesome Read
The storyline was great , really loved Edward in the beginning of his relationship with Gabriella, but he didn't have a backbone in my opinion,he allowed his mother speak to her like she was dirt .I knew at some point Flynn and Gabriella would get together because their chemistry was hot. I hope in the future the Author may write their story afterwards, because it was not a lot on them. It was more about Edward,Gabriella, and Kendra , how can Edward and Kendra get involve while she's in a coma now that's low. But I had a suspension that was going to happen they communicated too much. Flynn and Gabriella didn't communicate more than them, that's why they need their own story hope you seriously think about it. I really feel like I was cheated out of Flynn and Gabriella story.

PURE LUST by M S PARKER
This is a review for the Complete Box Set. I realize that I have a tendency to rave about 5 Star books. But...this is not a 5 Star book. This book is so far ahead that I have only read one other book that I would classify in said grouping. This is a HOT 100 STAR BOOK.
It started out smooth and put together just like a Designer LBD and LouBoutin F-Me black heels. Gabriella Blaine, what a name, and Flynn McCreedy meet at an interview and she flips him off when he costs her a job opportunity. From there, they meet again and sparks fly but his rude attitude pisses her off. She moves on and meets Edward at a party and they begin dating. That’s all you are getting from me. You absolutely must read this book. It’s filled with insecurities, angst and realizing that money doesn’t matter when Love is not really at the table.

Pure Lust is not at all what the title indicates and gets to the heart of whether you can be happy with the dream you thought you always wanted or do you need to find someone who helps you to become a better you. volume 4 wraps up a little too neatly, but overall a great interesting read.

Pure Lust: The Complete Series Box Set, worth reading. I enjoyed the entire series which kept me engrossed till the end. Even though the title suggested Pure Lust, I felt there was more to the story line. The character of Gabriella was of a strong minded woman knowing what she wanted out of her life. She was determined to become a writer of some caliber and went for it right from the beginning. The only weakness she showed was in deciding who she wanted Edward or Flynn, and at some point in the story she did start to become a bit irritable.
Towards the end of the story, I did not like Edward, he had no spine and bowed down to his mother instead of supporting Gabriella, and how quickly he could fall out of love once he hitched up with Kendra and that to when Gabriella was in coma, that was very low behaviour for a man of his standing. The question here is, was he really in love with Gab? What happened to his intense love for her, or was it only for sex?
My heart went out to Flynn, he was my hero, an ace photographer and Edward's brother, he was the alpha male here. True to his feelings till the end. And how can I forget Cody, a sweet caring man, the third gay brother.
The rest of the supporting characters blended well with the story. I must say here, I liked Paul too.
I hope the writers are planning to come out with a story on Gabriella and Flynn's life, and a story on Cody. I found the 4th part of the story ending too abruptly, and would love to read more from these writers.

As a voracious reader, I have subject matter hard limits. Other than those limits, I approach stories with an open mind and willingness to allow the characters and their stories to transport me wherever they take me. When I met Kendra and Gabriella, I settled in to enjoy the ride since I thought both women were easy to relate to. Then along came sexy Flynn, followed closely by rich, powerful, romantic Edward and the story began to go sideways for me. I found myself shifting from liking Gabriella to being annoyed by her and eventually not liking her at all. Ditto Kendra. At the end of this series, I had decided Kendra, Edward, Gabriella and Flynn all deserved each other, but the author's idea of their HEA didn't mesh with what I thought should have happened to these folks who didn't share an ounce of honor among them. Call me judgmental, but cheating and lying, sneaking and threatening are not qualities I like in my H/h even if all seemingly ends well-- wrapped up in a neat package with a pretty pink bow. I've enjoyed other books by Parker, so Pure Lust caught me off guard. I guess I expected something different based on the title, book blurb and all the 4 and 5 star reviews.

Gabby confused and in love
Gabby wanted prince charming. When she went for the interview for a job she thought she would get. But an arrogant photographer and son of the company owner blocked it. She never thought she see him again and when she did. She wished she me never did. When she meet Edward she thought her prince had come. When and Edward were having dinner Gabs found out Flynn the photographer was his brother. She loved Edward but why was Flynn always on her mind. She was torn and then everything changed. Breakups, marriages, babies, mother's put in their place and new relationships. Mostly just finding the right love.

DRAMA
This series was very good. Enjoyed the first book and not on boy was the brothers mother (Claire) ever Crazy! Wicked, mean and downright hateful...not even sure she likes herself or her husband (of very few words). What a whirlwind romance. Stacia is just as evil as Claire. What was up with Flynn? Book 2 Kendra...what's up with her?? Hum. By book 3 we meet Gabriella 'a family. The last book heartbreaking and more drama! The ending is a surprised twist you may or may not see coming. Overall great read.

Couldn't Put It Down!
The best thing about the book was that unlike other romance novels the ending was unpredictable. I would have however preferred to have Flynn and Gabriella spend more time together in the story. But I guess the story had to be unpredictable.... I have read a few of M.S. Parker's book and I like how she is able to explore human failings authentically i.e. Claire was not a good person and she didn't change her personality just to create a scenario in which "they all lived happily ever after" same applies to Hanna's parents in "The Billionaire's Sub"

What an action packed read. This book had me reading till I ran out of pages and then I was sad. It's spread over 4 volumns and need to be read in order. I don't like my books split up like this because it seems like you have to wait so long for the next one to come out. I was so happy that I had all four of them ready and waiting for me to devour in one sitting. My rating is for all four volumns.

A decent read, but not my idea of a boxset
The entire 'collection' is more like 1 book, but some decent characters and a good holiday read.
Not sure life works so easily as to have the 'all-change' HEA moment, but I guess it was a neat little ending bow on top.
I read this book as part of my Kindle Unlimited subscription (free book but I have to pay £7.99 a month for the subscription)

I didn’t expect to give this 5 stars.
M. S. Parker is very prolific. I’ve been binging her books for a few weeks. I am extremely impressed with the way her characters interact and develop, but I had trouble liking the people in this box set for a while. I’m happy that I stuck with it. At the end I liked many more of the characters than I expected. I am delighted with the progress to the end.

How lies can get you into so much more then trouble
This was sexy and confident with enough heartache and drama to keep you begging for me. The raw emotion thru the lens of a camera, the need to be ones self and the desire to love and be loved on the correct terms. God this series was perfect! Just what i needed to read right now!

Awesome
Self love first, then the rest just seems to happen, even with the convoluted roads we as humans have to travel!
Absolutely beautiful story, with the perfect monster in law!
Must read!

Good book, believeable characters, and a good story. Lots of twists and turns, which kept me guessing and made it hard for me to put it down. Would have liked to have seen Claire be put in her place a little more, but enjoyed the series.

The long way around
Gabriella and Flynn seem to only find the longest roads to the shortest distance. The stresses and heartaches of their journeys would make an interesting movie plot.

Wonderful!
I always enjoy these authors but something about this series touched me in a special way. It's worth the time and effort to make sure you don't rush or skip a single page! I can't wait to read the next collection!

Amazing Love Story
I seriously doubt you'd find more amazing, lovable characters in one story. Everything just came together perfectly. I loved the twist at the end!

Very easy to get into the characters and love them like family. Sex was more subtle for Parker while still feeling it.
