Thus far I have only read book one but I am already reading book two.
This is so worth the money.
This is an amazing love story of a generation removed. Ben returns but finds that all is not as it should be.
And thus start our journey into how a soldier fell for a young girl who made piano keys sing.
Not the most sophisticated of men our hero however loves deeply. Appreciates more than others of his age and thus the girl with the mood swings who's mother hate him tries nonetheless to get as close to this young woman as he can for he sees her as a woman, and he sees her in her music and such passion, such determination, such fear needs love.
But will love be enough.
As always this author does not disappoint. This book, even though it is strictly speaking a romance is a study of the best and the worst of the mundane we all call life.
I loved it. Pick up your own copy and see what you think.

A collection of twelve romances by twelve different authors. They are a wide range of stories and authors. I've had the pleasure of reading The Single Daddy Club: Derrick by Donna Fasano and I'm looking forward to reading the rest.
Former military man Derrick Richmond left the military to be a full time daddy to his godson Timmy when his father is killed serving his country.
Anna Maxwell is Timmy's teacher and notices that Timmy is struggling to socialize with his classmates and offers to help single dad Derrick out, but their relationship soon develops into a romantic one. A relationship that Derrick is more than happy to dive right into, but Anna is pulling away fast and Derrick is soon trying to find out what went wrong when their relationship seems to feel just right.
I was given an ARC for an honest review. All conclusions and mine and mine alone.

Beautiful collection that includes more than one writer and will touch the hearts of those reading the stories. I like the collection because readers are able to get a peek into each authors writing style and take a journey through their well written stories. This is a great collection to read by a warm fire on a cold night. Step inside the pages and get lost in some very well written and beautiful stories.

I have been given this box set as an ARC for my honest review. I have only read one book so far but will up date the review as I read the others.
The Single Daddy Club by Donna Fasano - Book 1 Derrick.
I have read some of Donna's books before and I have always loved them and this book did not disappoint me either.
Derrick and his cousin James are military men and they loved their jobs until one fateful day James was killed in a routine training drill, leaving Derrick the guardian to his godson Timmy. Derrick is use to being single and having only himself to care for so when Timmy who is only 5 years old arrives to live with him - he is at a loss at how to care for a child, when Timmy has been with him for 10 months he is called to a teacher/parent meeting because of Timmy's behavior in class and Derrick feels guilty because he has been preoccupied with other things and may have missed the signs that something was wrong.
Derricks meeting with Timmy's teacher gets off to a bad start when she fails to meet him at the school office and after waiting for a few minutes he sets off to go and find her. After the initial irritation of the misunderstanding of where they were supposed to meet Derrick sees his answer to his prayers standing in front of him and asks Anna to help him understand Timmy and help him with his parenting skill and to give him tips on how to improve. Anna reluctantly agrees to help him but wonders on if Derrick wants to hear what she will have to say.
This is a beautiful love story of a woman who does not want to get into a serious relationship as she is unable to have a family and does not want to see the disappointment in another mans eyes when he finds out that she can not give him children and of a strong alpha male who will do everything in his power to win her over. This story is full of compassion, love, family values, its heartwarming and has an alpha hero, and I loved every page of it. Now to go and buy book 2 to read about Jason.

What a great bargain for romance lovers. The box set contains a wide range of books, some of which I had already read, and some new.
I loved Uvi Poznansky's "The Music of Us".
The author has a unique sharp and poignant writing style and with the change of perspectives she gives the characters further depth. Great writing, a fascinating premise and wonderful insight in human nature make this a read very worth your time.
"Love Me Tender" by Mimi Barbour follows on nicely with a twisted and complex story of love, secrets and truth.
"Just in Case" by Elisabeth Marx is a passionate and touchign story about forbidden love; Tamara Ferguson delivers a great family saga and love story and Regina Pucket depicts the painful side of love, experienced by a film star.
The first few books are stunning romances with deep and thoughtful stories and topics. There is a sense that this is more than just romance. Here, a crush can become life-changing, feelings can affect entire lives deeply and irrevocably.
The passionf rom the title is not meant in a purely sexual way (or not in a sexual way at all) but in the sense of stirring the human heart.
The box set brings together some great writing talent with unique styles and voices.
There is historical romance, rock star romance and some more light-hearted or playful novels, too. Some great titles and a feast for romance lovers.

Disclosure: I received this book free of charge from the publisher. This review is my honest opinion, and is in no way influenced by the author or publisher.
I absolutely love boxed sets. I always find new authors to enjoy. This one doesn't disappoint. I had already read many books by Donna Fasano so I knew this would be great. I can't decide which book is my favorite. I really liked each one of them. I hope you enjoy this set.

I have received these books for free in trade for my honest review of the books.
I have read many of Donna Fasano's books and so was very happy when this box included one of her books. I am pleased to say I have many other writers I will now be following. What a great collection of books for those long winter nights. I recommend getting a warm cozy blanket and settling in with this collection of books.

***I received a ARC for this book in exchange for a honest review***
This book has you from the first word all the way to the very last period. The writers have a refreshing new way of writing, that has you on the edge of your seat. The authors developed the characters nicely, and you can tell the book wasn't rushed.
I give this book five stars!

A very well written story of a long time love narrated by the husband of a woman who is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. This is a heartbreaking love story. Uvi Posnansky pulled me into the lives of two interesting people, while informing me about this sad disease that causes the loss of a loved while they still living. Well done Uvi Posnansky.

Don't know if I'd buy boxed sets again.
Some were very good, others too explicit and raunchy. Prefer more game and Christian Romance. Like Debbie Macomber or Mary Higgens Clarke

This is such a bargain! I did quit reading the first book. It was just not holding my interest. All of the other books were great and very different. Great bargain.
