Rate this book

Lose yourself in the French Quarter where nothing is ever really seems on the surface. Beneath Series Volume One includes first three books in the Beneath Series from USA Today bestselling author Meghan March.



A tatted-up bad girl on the run falls for a former Navy fighter pilot in Beneath This Mask. Tattoo artist Constantine Leahy gets his second chance at society princess Vanessa Frost in Beneath This Ink. Party girl Elle Snyder won’t let anything stop her from scoring pawn shop owner Lord Robichaux in Beneath These Chains. But nothing will ever be the same when they look beneath…

About Beneath This Mask 



He loves me, and he doesn’t even know my real name. 

The limelight that follows him could expose everything I’m hiding. But even knowing the risks, I can’t force myself to stay away. 

I’m going to break his heart, but mine will shatter right along with it. 

Will we lose it all when I reveal what’s beneath this mask? 


About Beneath This Ink 


I’ve always known she was too good for me, but that never stopped me from wanting her. 

And then I finally had her for one night. 

A night I don’t remember. 

I figured I’d blown my shot. 

But now she’s walked back into my life, and this time, I have the upper hand. I want my second chance. 

Will she be able to see the man beneath this ink? 


About Beneath These Chains 


I was raised on the streets, so I know things are rarely as simple as they appear—especially this rich girl showing up at my pawnshop demanding a job.

She’s the most tempting thing I’ve ever seen, and I’ll be damned if I can make her leave.

Shit just got complicated … but when it comes to her, I want complicated.

We’re both fighting our own demons, and our only chance at a future is to let go of the past. 

But will we be strong enough to break free from beneath these chains?

I wanted "to-read" these books for years. They were on my shelf for longer than I'd like to admit, so when I finally came around to them maybe I was expecting more or maybe I've changed as a reader? They are hot alpha male romance books with a little plot thrown in to keep you interested. Not sure if I'll continue with the series or not but go for it if your just looking for simple books to fill time. Sometimes it's nice to do easy books.

4 - 4 1/2 stars

I loved reading the Beneath Series Volume 1 - I actually already had Beneath This Mask and Beneath This Ink, but when this bundle was initially released it was such a bargain that I One-clicked so I could read Beneath These Chains as I didn't have that yet. I've just done a reread of the first 2 books, and read the third in the series for the first time, and I loved it!

Beneath These Chains features Elle and Lord, and boy, were they a hot couple together! I loved that Lord knew what he wanted from Elle, and was determined to get it. Elle was initially very wary of being in a committed relationship, even though she wanted Lord. What I really enjoyed with this book was the suspense in the storyline, and trying to figure out who the bad guy was. I was surprised when I read that part of the storyline, I was way off base with my guess as to who the culprit was.

I'm now going back to do a reread of the other books in this series - I haven't read them in the correct order, and I would like to. I really enjoy reading any of Meghan March's books - I am yet to read one that is less than 4 stars, I know I am always getting a good read with her work.

This series is spectacular. I read the first novel almost a year ago, when when I started with the second one, I was hooked again! And again. And again.
Every story is different from each other and all the characters maintain their independent personalities. The story lines are different from one another, and some I liked more than others, but that doesn't change the fact that I love ALL of them and this author is one of my top favorites! I have read almost every novel by her and I can't wait to read more.
I've even re-read some parts, which I very rarely do. But I don't get enough of these stories and the characters that live within them.

Not all bad guys wear black hats

I'm a fan of a bargain so the boxed set option suits me perfectly.

This Pawn Star and his Sweet Thing while an unlikely couple worked well together.

With so many bad guys in this story I found the murderer bad an unexpected choice.

I find Ms. March leaves a lot to the readers imagination when it comes to character descriptions. I've no problem with this as my imagination is very active. If anything I prefer it.

I absolutely loved this story of Charlie and Simon. This book was actually my first read from Megan March and I fell in love. Charlie had to go in hiding because of her past and what better place than NOLA. To hid her identity she starts working at a tattoo shop and meets the Simon the son of a Congressman. This book is full of suspense and above all steamy romance. You don't want to miss out that's for sure.

Look beyond

These stories are full of love, laughter, steamy scenes, angst and dealing with ones skeletons. I love the story behind the tattoos and how people give back to the community. Each book is a stand-alone but they are richer when reading in order because some of the characters and places do show up repeatedly.

Stellar alpha heroes with fantastic stories

I originally found this series through my e-library. I've loved every book so when I saw the bundle at a great price, I had to purchase it. This author writes the best "bad boy" alpha heroes- assertive with depth, protective but not overbearing, and with that all consuming love every romance strives to create. The heroines aren't the typical character I connect with, but Miss March makes them incredibly relatable. The storylines are all different but very interesting with some unexpected twists to keep the reader invested. As for the romance, the sexy scenes certainly don't disappoint. If you like strong alpha heroes and independent heroines, this is a must read in my opinion.

Beneath This Mask (Beneath #1)

5 star

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, secrets, suspense, and heartbreak.

This is Charlie and Simon’s story. Charlie is on run. She left everything behind to build again. She is all about keeping a low profile. She has a ton of tattoos but stays out of the news. She meets Simon when his friend comes in for a tattoo. Simon is in the news a lot. She knows she needs to stay away from him. Can they stay away from each other? Nope. Simon knows that Charlie has secrets but he is determined to uncover them and keep her for himself. One night after a high profile party Charlie’s past comes back for her. Can Simon help her or does she push her away? Can they ever get back what they had or is she about to go away forever?

I loved these characters and also the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next story from this author.

Holy wow! I am loving this series so far. I got this three-book bundle when it was on sale and had been putting off reading it. I just thought what a good deal. So Sunday, I felt like reading something new and decided to give the first book in the Beneath series a try. Ok, well four days later and I read the whole book bundle already and I just bought the fourth book in the series and after, I am going to get the fifth! I haven't read five books in a row by an author other than Kristen Ashley, which means, Meghan March, you are amazing!!!

The first book in the series, Beneath This Mask, really just pulled me in to the world that March creates in good old New Orleans. The picture she paints of the city is just great and it really sets up the area for the other stories that will eventually take place in the same setting. I also LOVED the second book, Beneath This Ink. I think that one is so far my favorite. Lastly, Beneath These Chains was also good, but it was my least favorite book so far out of the series. I am about to dive into book number four, Beneath These Scars, and I have a feeling it might become my new favorite! Can't wait!

Oh Lord!

I cannot believe I waited this long to read Meghan's Beneath series. I'm so glad I changed that because they simply keep getting better and better with each one I read. Lord is by far my favorite alpha thus far. From his sweet talking dirty mouth he's causes you to fall hard and fast. I loved Elle's sass and I can't wait to see what's in store with Titan. I'm officially hooked with Meghan's books!
