The Good Ol’ Boys
From USA Today Bestselling Author
ALL FOUR GOOD OL' BOYS BOOKS IN ONE
COMPLICATE ME
It was complicated, it was also just the beginning.
A decision.
A simple choice.
There is always that one moment in life where things could have been different. That one moment where you could have chosen a path that would lead you down a certain road.
A different life.
It was easier to pretend that we were still best friends, and that she was my girl and I was her boy.
Pretending was better than knowing the truth...
I. Ruined. Us.
I had her.
I lost her.
I love her.
All I did was complicate us.
FORBID ME
It was only a matter of time until the truth came out.
I never thought it would come to this…
I tried, God knows I tried to stay away from her but eventually I crossed that line and broke that trust. I could no longer go back and I sure as fuck didn’t regret a single moment of it. I knew there would be hell to pay, I knew the wrath I’d be facing but I would willingly take the burns and scars just to have the love of my best friend's sister.
If there is one person I’d willingly go to hell and back for it was…
Lillian Ryder
UNDO ME
I met her when I was sixteen.
I fell in love with her when I was seventeen.
She brought me to my knees when I was twenty.
I loved her against reason.
I loved her against hope.
I loved her against all odds.
Now she's back, a constant reminder of what I lost, what could have been.
I hate her.
I resent her.
I still love her.
Can I forgive her...
Will she be my end once again or my beginning?
CRAVE ME
They say in order to find yourself you have to go home.
What if home was what you were running from?
Where did that leave you?
Always on the other side of the fence.
Always looking in.
Always wishing you were someone you couldn't be.
Until one day you meet her.
The one.
She was my high, but she was also...
My demise.

Complicate Me (book 1)
Rating: 5 stars
Review: I. Adore. This. Book. I have cried, laughed, and cried some more. I've hated and loved the main characters and their families. This book had me all caught up in my feeling and I stood up ALL night just to read it. I fell in love with Alex and Lucas instantly and I was rooting for them from the start even when L was being a pigheaded as*hole, whom I wanted to rip limb from limb. the author did a fabulous job with this book, from the writing to the romance to the story. It all flowed, meshed and mixed well together. It was a great start.
Forbid Me (book 2)
Rating: 4.5 stars
Review: Jacob and Lily, Lily and Jacob what a mess they made. Jacob is doing the wrong thing for the "right" reasons, or so he thinks, and in the process he's, continuously, ripping out the heart of the only girl he's ever loved. Lily too mature for her age yet so naive and innocent. I really, really loved this book. My only problem is that I wanted to beat some sense into Lucas. Every single time he opened his mouth he unwittingly screwed something up. Again the author has left me baffled. And that ending OMFG
Undo Me (book 3)
Rating: 5 fucktastic stars
Review: This story made me fall in love, it broke me, it tore me apart, it destroyed me. Dylan and Aubrey's love story isn't for the faint of heart. I laughed and I cried I cried so damn much. I can't put into words the emotions this book brought out in me, I felt their pain, their love, their heartbreak. God, what these two went through was incredibly horrible and SPOILER for them to find their way back to each other after that horror is amazing. M. Robinson completely undid me.
Crave Me (book 4)
Rating: 5 heart-throbbing stars
Review: What an ending to a series. I wanted to bubble-wrap Austin and never let him go. You'll need a shitload of tissues for this story. It took me a month to read A MONTH and I highly recommend it!

A must read series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What an excellent box set!!!!
COMPLICATE ME
This is Lucas and Alex's story and Complicate Me is a very fitting title. Everything about their love is complicated and Lucas has a tendency to emotionally hurt Alex constantly. All the boys have pretty much known each other and Alex since she was born, she is two years younger than Lucas, Jacob and Dylan and one year younger than Austin. These are her boys and she very protective of them, but her and Lucas have always had a more complicated bond and their love story will make you cry. It will also make you want to shake them both and scream "WTF is wrong with you, can't you see you are perfect for each other!!!!". It won't matter because all they do is complicate things and you'll have to read this story to find out whether or not they can get past the bullsh!t. Loved this story and I'm ready for Lily and Jacob's story in Forbid Me.
FORBID ME
This is Jacob and Lily's story and it's a beautiful one about forbidden love. Jacob is on of Lucas's best friends and he is in love with Lucas's baby sister, Lily, who is seven years younger than him. This story will have you holding your breath waiting to see what happens next, it will also have you crying for all the years these two missed by not being honest and up front about their feelings. This is a great story and one that should not be missed. I'm looking forward to Dylan and Aubrey's story in Undo Me.
UNDO ME
First, with this book I believe I should start with a trigger warning because this book has scenes that may be triggers for some readers. That said let's get to the review of this book.
This is Aubrey and Dylan's story and it's quite the emotional roller coaster. This is a great story but there is also a lot of hurt, regret, lies and secrets between these two characters that you just can't be sure what will happen next. So much goes on between these two that they may never make it back to each other. This is a wonderful story and I'm looking forward to Briggs and Austin's story in Crave Me.
CRAVE ME
This book speaks a lot about drug addiction and how it affects the individual, their family and friends.
This is Briggs and Austin's story and it comes with a lot of heart break and tears. These characters are strong beyond measure and have a while lot of fight in them. This story is heart breaking at times and it also proves that you can't always help the ones you love unless they themselves want the help. This is a story of love, loss and everything in between.
I truly enjoyed all these stories and I highly recommend this box set as a must read.

Complicate me – While it is just the beginning of a wonderful series it will always be one of my favorites. The reader learns all about the four Good Ol’ Boys and their humble beginnings but it is the love affair between Bo and Half-Pint that is center stage in this heartwarming coming of age love story. M. Robinson has a way of drawing the reader in and not letting go. I immediately needed to read the next book in the series.
Forbid Me – When you fall in love with your best friend’s sister there is always the issue of losing his friendship that keeps the feelings under wraps. But Lily has other ideas for Jake, and although there may be numerous years between them the heart wants what the heart wants. This book had me laughing out loud and sighing with happiness – M. Robinson – you have done it again.
Undo Me – Rough, Alpha but with a heart of gold, Dylan McGraw falls in love and falls really hard. But in order to help Aubrey in her time of need he has to walk away and give up his hopes and dreams of his future. But will love prevail? Can you finally pick up the pieces of your broken heart and get your HEA? Or are some lies and manipulations just too much to overcome? This is the most emotional of the series so far and you need to make sure you have a box of Kleenex and a full night ahead of you because once you start you will not be able to stop.
Crave Me – The final installment in the Good Ol’ Boys saga is Austin’s story. While each of the boys had their own obstacles to overcome – it is Austin’s that could have taken his life. But through love, trust and a willingness to be the person he is supposed to be that he makes it through his dark times and come out the other end. This is by far the story that I had trouble reading. Not for the content but for the emotion that M. Robinson makes you feel with every turn of the page. If there is one series you will read again and again it will be this one. Five stars are not enough.

It has every thing....
Wow, that's all I can really say. I loved each and every book. Lucas & Alex aka Bo & Half-pint, they were a turn the next page heart stopping story. I loved Jacob & Lily' s story because it brought the laughs. To see Jacob understand how Lucas felt about Alex all those years compared to how he loved Lily. Lily herself was a breath of fresh air. Her take no s..t attitude and telling it like it was made her incredible. Dylan & Aubrey's story made me laugh but my heart broke with them and for them. But love won in the end. Austin & Briggs was a heart wrenching story. Talk about really loving someone with all your heart & soul through good & bad times and sickness & health. I literally felt the pain that all these couples went through but I also felt their love for another just leaping off the pages. Their capacity to still love one another after the trials & tribulations of life was amazing and beautifully written.

Gifted a copy of all four books prior to box set being released.
I loved, loved every minute of each book!!
Complicate Me:
There are so many things I want to say about this book I'm not even sure where to start. I won't lie and say I couldn't put it down. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It wasn't that it was bad or horribly written, the story line just starts off as a little too Young Adult for me considering what I normally read is contemporary or erotic romance. With that being said, it did get better for me and navigated away from the young adult genre. Eventually I wasn't able to put it down and stayed up late one night to push through it. The story line developed beautifully, the hurricane was felt in every one of my bones and the ending - so excited for Jacob & Lilly's story!!
It's a story of friendship, young love and adult mistakes. I cried, I laughed, I fell in love. The friendship that Alexandra has made with her "good ol'boys" is cute, sweet and innocent. I loved watching them all grow up, the bond they created. The real life circumstances suck you in and will make your heart break but in the end, it was worth every tear shed. I was afraid to finish it because I was terrified of the storm in the end but I'm so glad I did because it made me love and hug it even more. Yes, I might have hugged my kindle when I finished it...lol.
**Won an ecopy from a giveaway not associated with the author**
Forbid Me:
I love M. Robinson. Her books are sweet, sexy and sassy. The story lines are detailed. They will suck you in and never let you go.
I was really excited to read Jacob & Lily's story especially after the way Complicate Me ended. Even though this book is a standalone and it's not necessary to read them in order, I would recommend it to get the full backstory. The angst, heartbreak, lust, love, it's all there and more. I adore the way Mrs. Robinson was able to make this book realistic, believable. The characters are easy to fall in love or smack upside the head with your kindle. There are a few tissue moments, moments where you might want to change your panties, and moments when you will just want to "curl" with your kindle. Lily may be perceived as the sweet and innocent type, until she opens her mouth. I know I never expected that personality to be unleashed. And Jacob, not even sure where to start with him. In the beginning, I wanted to strangle him in more ways than one but as the book progressed, I fell in love with him a little more. This story just goes to show that you can't deny the heart what the heart wants.
I know I wasn't ready for this book to end but I am excited to see what else comes from "The Good Ol' Boys".
Undo Me:
I’m not even sure where to begin. This is one of those books that grabs a hold of your soul and never lets go. I’m still trying to wrap my brain around everything Dylan and Aubrey endured. Just when you think you have it all figured out, M pulls the rug out from under you. The angst, twists, heartache, love, it’s all there.
The undoing of Dylan and Aubrey is heartbreaking and gut wrenching. I think the thing I enjoyed the most was the depth of the story, while yes, some parts were easy to read and flowed effortlessly, the most intense parts were deep, dark, descriptive. It wasn’t all deep though, there were sweet moments, beautiful and happy. As much as I wanted to hate Dylan, I couldn’t because he proved himself time and time again. Dylan definitely met his match with Aubrey. Aubrey, my girl. I related to every inner turmoil she was fighting through and every struggle she was battling.
The thing that gutted me the most, getting to the ending. I don’t know how many times I had to step away from my kindle or force myself to keep from going to the last page because I just knew there was no way in hell I was going to get the ending I wanted. And then I got there and I got so much more than what I could have bargained for.
I highly recommend The Good Ol’ Boy series because not only can they be read as a standalone, you truly never know what you’re going to get with each one of these boys. Lucas, Jacob, Dylan and Austin, so much diversity in one group of friends but a bond so tight that they don’t need blood to make them family. I can not wait for Austin’s story!!
Crave Me:
This book. It broke me. It was intense, heavy, heartbreaking. It hits too close to home with me. I have been in Briggs shoes, minus the love part. Mrs. Robinson hit the nail on the head with every emotion Briggs went through, lived through. A roller coaster ride I never wanted to get off but at the same time begged for mercy for it to end. I tried, I really did. I didn't want to cry. I have been pumping myself up for the heartache I knew was coming. For the most part I came away unscathed, until about 86% in and then it was all downhill from there. I bawled like a baby; big, ugly fat tears falling down my face and nose running like the Niagara Falls.
I have read the whole Good Ol' Boys series and the best part, you don't have to to read those books to read this one. The explanation about who Austin and Briggs are, I wasn't expecting the depth. It's complexed, leaves you feeling like you are a fly on the wall watching their entire lives unfold right before your eyes. I can honestly say I wasn't expecting this story line. I had an inkling that I knew what it was about but what I got, blew.my.mind. I wanted to hug Briggs the entire time. And Austin, I wanted to junk punch him but that's just something some of us can never understand until you walk a mile in their shoes. Their love may have been toxic but that ending, damn.
This story will wrap you up, throw you up and suck you back in. Thank you M. Robinson for another f'ing fabulous book and I can't wait to see what you have your sleeve next!!
I loved, loved every minute of each book!!
Complicate Me:
There are so many things I want to say about this book I'm not even sure where to start. I won't lie and say I couldn't put it down. In fact, it was quite the opposite. It wasn't that it was bad or horribly written, the story line just starts off as a little too Young Adult for me considering what I normally read is contemporary or erotic romance. With that being said, it did get better for me and navigated away from the young adult genre. Eventually I wasn't able to put it down and stayed up late one night to push through it. The story line developed beautifully, the hurricane was felt in every one of my bones and the ending - so excited for Jacob & Lilly's story!!
It's a story of friendship, young love and adult mistakes. I cried, I laughed, I fell in love. The friendship that Alexandra has made with her "good ol'boys" is cute, sweet and innocent. I loved watching them all grow up, the bond they created. The real life circumstances suck you in and will make your heart break but in the end, it was worth every tear shed. I was afraid to finish it because I was terrified of the storm in the end but I'm so glad I did because it made me love and hug it even more. Yes, I might have hugged my kindle when I finished it...lol.

Forbid Me:
I love M. Robinson. Her books are sweet, sexy and sassy. The story lines are detailed. They will suck you in and never let you go.
I was really excited to read Jacob & Lily's story especially after the way Complicate Me ended. Even though this book is a standalone and it's not necessary to read them in order, I would recommend it to get the full backstory. The angst, heartbreak, lust, love, it's all there and more. I adore the way Mrs. Robinson was able to make this book realistic, believable. The characters are easy to fall in love or smack upside the head with your kindle. There are a few tissue moments, moments where you might want to change your panties, and moments when you will just want to "curl" with your kindle. Lily may be perceived as the sweet and innocent type, until she opens her mouth. I know I never expected that personality to be unleashed. And Jacob, not even sure where to start with him. In the beginning, I wanted to strangle him in more ways than one but as the book progressed, I fell in love with him a little more. This story just goes to show that you can't deny the heart what the heart wants.
I know I wasn't ready for this book to end but I am excited to see what else comes from "The Good Ol' Boys".
Undo Me:
I’m not even sure where to begin. This is one of those books that grabs a hold of your soul and never lets go. I’m still trying to wrap my brain around everything Dylan and Aubrey endured. Just when you think you have it all figured out, M pulls the rug out from under you. The angst, twists, heartache, love, it’s all there.
The undoing of Dylan and Aubrey is heartbreaking and gut wrenching. I think the thing I enjoyed the most was the depth of the story, while yes, some parts were easy to read and flowed effortlessly, the most intense parts were deep, dark, descriptive. It wasn’t all deep though, there were sweet moments, beautiful and happy. As much as I wanted to hate Dylan, I couldn’t because he proved himself time and time again. Dylan definitely met his match with Aubrey. Aubrey, my girl. I related to every inner turmoil she was fighting through and every struggle she was battling.
The thing that gutted me the most, getting to the ending. I don’t know how many times I had to step away from my kindle or force myself to keep from going to the last page because I just knew there was no way in hell I was going to get the ending I wanted. And then I got there and I got so much more than what I could have bargained for.
I highly recommend The Good Ol’ Boy series because not only can they be read as a standalone, you truly never know what you’re going to get with each one of these boys. Lucas, Jacob, Dylan and Austin, so much diversity in one group of friends but a bond so tight that they don’t need blood to make them family. I can not wait for Austin’s story!!
Crave Me:
This book. It broke me. It was intense, heavy, heartbreaking. It hits too close to home with me. I have been in Briggs shoes, minus the love part. Mrs. Robinson hit the nail on the head with every emotion Briggs went through, lived through. A roller coaster ride I never wanted to get off but at the same time begged for mercy for it to end. I tried, I really did. I didn't want to cry. I have been pumping myself up for the heartache I knew was coming. For the most part I came away unscathed, until about 86% in and then it was all downhill from there. I bawled like a baby; big, ugly fat tears falling down my face and nose running like the Niagara Falls.

THIS SERIES IS EPIC!
Wow...just...wow! I absolutely love M Robinson who has such a talent for writing stories so seamlessly over the decades of her characters' lives. This is another example of a group of people whose lives are so intricately entwined, and how they manoeuvre all their relationships throughout childhood, and on to adulthood.
The four stories in this series are simply captivating. All are examples of our human instincts to over complicate the simplest of loves, to enduring and recovering from tragedy, to overcoming insurmountable obstacles that threaten to kill.
I have learnt so much through each and every one of the beautifully crafted characters and all their epic highs and crushing lows.
Five stars is not nearly enough to truly depict how deserving The Good Ol' Boys is of recognition.

A to die for emotional rollercoaster of 4 friends love stories!
Monica Robinson is one very truly amazing talented author. I had to stop several time and put this series down just to get my emotion in check.

This series is a flour part book that tells each characters love story and the closest friendship between 3 boy and 1 girl. You will not be disappointed.

I read each book upon release. Each book could be read as a standalone. Each book was character driven. The four boys were surfing buddies growing up together. A family bond uniting them until girls disrupted the lives of these guys. The brotherhood was tempted and tested by the sex appeal of girls.
I rated each book separately according to the storyline and characters involved. Since the incorporation of all 4 books I rated 3 stars. I liked how all the characters were in each book.

**potential triggers***
Wow, be warned- these books are emotional roller coasters! But man, they are amazing!
These books take you through each one of the Good ol’ Boys and their stories. And they all have such amazing stories to tell!
You will be sucked in and vested in their “lives”
And laugh and cry with them! While this is a long read, it is 100% worth it!
Potential triggers with rape, cancer/death, suicide attempts and drug addiction

Where do you start? These books were amazing and filled with every emotion possible. I can't pick a favorite book because all of them were equally as great. M. Robinson is incredible with her writing as evidenced by every book she's written -- I've read at this point. Grab this series -- but understand that you may burn dinner and not get laundry done once you get started.

Could put it down
I stayed up all weekend long to finish all 4 books. At first I didn’t think I was going to like Austin’s story, but I was riveted. I can’t wait to read all of the books M. Robinson has written. She makes the characters feel real and like you are experiencing everything with them. Outstanding!

Emotional roller-coaster
This was such an amazing box set to read. My emotions were all over the place. I can't recommend this author enough. I bawled like a baby through most of it yet couldn't put it down.

Great series
Heartfelt characters, relateable, could be a group from any small town. It had just enough flashbacks to keep the story balanced, and not to be confusing.
