**4.5 star review**
Reviewed on behalf of 2 girls who love books blog.
Swept Away is a box set trilogy by Rosemary Willhide. It contains the stories: Running Away to Home, Away with Him and A Way Back. After reading the synopsis I was really looking forward to getting my hands on this trilogy. I do love reading standalone novels but I love how a story can develop across a trilogy too. Overall I enjoyed reading it. I thought that the characters both main and secondary were likeable and developed well over the books. There are a lot (and I mean a lot) of steamy sex scenes so this series is definitely for mature readers only!
The story is about Nia Kelly who is a fitness instructor at an exclusive sports club in Las Vegas. She moved there to escape her past, a past with secrets that still haunt her so she has a plan! A plan which definitely didn't include falling in love. That is until one day Hollywood heartthrob Derek Pierce comes to her spin class – there’s an instant spark, an undeniable heat between them, the trouble for Nia is a romantic entanglement with a celebrity like Derek will open her up to danger – danger from her past.
Book 1: Running Away to Home
I thought that this was a good opening book to the series – we get to know the characters and there are some good twists but they do take a while to get to and for me were over a little too quickly. Nia and Derek’s relationship did start quickly but they had a great chemistry and an instant connection. Nia had a great sense of humour and this comes across really well. This story definitely focuses more on the two characters getting to know each other, finding out about their pasts and their secrets. I give this story 4.5 stars.
Book 2: Away with Him.
This book continues with the happy couple who are newly engaged – having dealt with Nia’s past and secrets having been revealed Nia and Derek embark on their new life together. In this story we see more obstacles thrown in their way as the reality of dating a celebrity hits Nia pretty hard. I did kind of feel the story got a little lost in this book and we didn’t really find out anything new and the majority of it seemed to be centred around their sex life. The have a LOT of it and I’m amazed they haven’t work their parts out!! I still enjoyed the books and it was well written just a little sex heavy for me with the phrase ‘I’m coming’ a bit over repetitive! I give this book 4 stars.
Book 3: A Way Back.
This book for me was the best out of the three. We start back after Nia and Derek’s break up and Nia is devastated. The challenges of a relationship with a Hollywood heartthrob prove too much for Nia and Derek. There was a lot less sex in this book so I think the storyline was able to come through a bit more. There were some really good twists that kept my attention. I thought that this was a really final book to the series. I loved that Nia kept her sassy and feisty character all the way through the three books, she did have her vulnerable moments but she remained strong! Her character added a nice splash of comedy to the series. I give this book 5 stars.
Overall I thought this was a good series with books 1 and 3 being my favourite. I gave each book its own star rating but for the box set I give an overall 4.5 stars. I’m looking forward to reading more books by this author.

A super spicy and super entertaining trilogy at a great price! I loved the main characters of Nia and Derek. They go through so much and they have your typical push and pull relationship because their lives are so different. We all want to be the one that a celebrity finds irresistible, and they fall in love with us and that's what this story gives you. There's also some suspense to keep you guessing. It's a great escape story and enjoyable summertime read.

This series is the first I've read by Ms. Willhide. While I really enjoyed the series I didn't love them. For me the first book was the best and felt that they probably could have been condensed into two books.
I love sex in books, but I found in this series less would have been more. I just didn't feel that all the sex was necessary for these books. Some books revolve around the characters sex lives, but I liked the rest of the story better than the sex it contained in this one. It is for this reason I think it deserves a 4 star rating. I loved Nia & Derek's story. It was sweet and intense with a side of mystery. The background characters were fabulous. The good ones & the shady characters.
I will definitely be keeping an eye out for more books by Ms. Willhide & I'm sure there are many readers out there that will absolutely love everything about these books!!!!

A roller coaster of emotions
The box set allows the reader to enjoy the entire Swept Away story. I have laughed and cried through this series as well as having a few anxiety attacks trying to send telepathy to Derek and Nia about their actions. The mystery and suspense woven throughout the story brought them back to reality when nothing else could.
Rosemary Willhide has written a book of sensual and sexual delight for these two amazing characters and made the entire cast believable with her attention to detail and fantasy.

Who is your movie star love? I know you have one, and they absolutely would fall in love with a normal girl like you. Matt Damon and Matthew McConaughey did! Nia Kelly was just that girl. Smoking hot sex, lots and lots of panty melting sex, danger and heroics, and of course the adjustment to Hollywood fame and shame. This book is off the charts good and you better have your significant other or B.O.B handy cause your gonna need it.....often.

Swept Away! WOW! I absolutely love Derek and Nia'a story. Rosemary Willhide has a way to tangle you into the stories that make you feel as your one of the characters. I laughed, cried and flat out yelled at the characters. This is such a wonderful well thought out read I feel it should be on all romance lovers bookshelf. This is a must read. Well done Rosemary Willhide.

This series does not do Rosemary justice. I discovered Rosemary as a thriller writer with her Hope Ridge Mystery series. I can see how this series helped pave the way for the things she is doing now, and for that growth, I am proud and thankful.
This series was a mix of romance, erotica, and suspense. The themes flowed well, and the characters were great. This was a quick series to read; the storylines flowed smoothly.
This box set is convenient because you have the complete story in your hands, which makes it easy to read from start to finish. I wrote individual reviews for the books, which can be found on my website.

I was swept away by this trilogy! Derek and Nia's worlds collide, and nothing is ever the same again. There was so much I enjoyed about their story. I loved the writing style, the smart, witty banter, the sizzling hot sex and chemistry between Derek and Nia, the angst, I could go on! There were also sweet and funny moments as well, and I know I should've set the book down at some point, like to eat or sleep, but I was completely captivated! Fantastic read!

Don't stick by the 3.5 star rating.
I finished book 1 of 3.
I loved the characters and the story line. There's a little to much sexual action but if you read the synopsis you might already know that. So that made it hard to get through. (I don't shy away from Erotica novels so that wasn't an issue) For a first book Rosemary Willhide did a great job.
I believe each book gets better as her writing does. I will post more when I finish book 2 then 3. I have hope for this Trilogy, and Rosemary!

This book is fanfiction written in homage of Alexander Skarsgard. After hearing that, I had to read them.
....but I only made it through the first book. It was repetitive, a bit silly, and tragically for a book designed to just be fun, it became boring. We have a survivor of domestic abuse and a fitness instructor running into a would-be ASkars. It is nearly love at first sight, and that's all you need to know for the first book. (What happens after that is beyond me, as I haven't read them and probably won't.)

This was a great series. It had just the right amount of suspense, kinky sex and sweet sex to keep it interesting. Nia is quirky in an adorable way and Derek is totally Alpha male hot!!
