The Love Family #1-4
The Love Family Box Set
Skylar (Book 1)
Shop owner Skylar Love and her family have lived on the same island her ancestors discovered several centuries ago. Her life isn’t perfect, but it’s hers. After dumping her lying, cheating boyfriend, she isn't surprised when her brother tries to bribe their best friend to take her out on a pity date.
Multimillionaire Luke Tanner made his fortune in New York, building his pharmaceutical company from the ground up. With an upcoming birthday and a longing to return to the one place where he can be himself, he goes home to Love Island to find the family and friends he left behind. His best friend’s sister, Skylar Love, has always been off-limits, an unspoken code between friends. When he gets home to find her all grown up and single, he knows it’s time he stepped up his game before someone else snatches her up.
With plans to build a lab on the Island and move back home, he finally talks her into a date. When the date goes south and someone tries to kill them both, winning her heart takes a backseat to keeping them both alive while they figure out the mystery of who’s behind the threat.
Declan (Book 2)
Sherriff Declan Love is a straight arrow. Everything is black and white in his line of work. Using his ability of a human lie detector to catch criminals has made his professional life a piece of cake. So naturally when his sister’s best friend, Olivia Parks, starts to avoid his questions and is seen around town on dates with men he doesn’t know, he’s left with little option but to find out what she’s up to, if nothing more than to save her from the heartache sure to follow.
Shop owner Olivia Parks is tired of sitting on the sidelines waiting for Declan Love to ask her out. When her best friend, Skylar Love, starts planning her wedding, it’s even more apparent that Olivia will always be stuck in Declan’s friend zone. Time is ticking to find the perfect wedding date, and she is seriously out of practice. With the help of friends, Olivia is determined to prove to herself once and for all that she can be a desirable woman, even if Declan is too blind to notice.
Flynn (Book 3)
Flynn Love knows a thing or two about women. When he loses a bet to his buddy and is forced to play tour guide and babysitter to the man’s little sister, he’s warned she can be a handful and is always attracted to losers. Flynn has one job: show her around her new home on Love Island and scare away the creeps while winning her over with his charm. Should be a piece of cake, right?
Wrong.
Mia Stewart has had a tough time of late with break-ins at her home and a mugging that sent her to the emergency room. The universe is conspiring against her and screwing her at every turn. When her boss offers her a job at his new lab on a luxurious island to continue her research, she jumps at the chance to sneak away from the troubles plaguing her and leave them behind.
When trouble follows her to the Island and threatens her new life, she’ll rely on the one person her brother trusts to keep her safe, even if the two clash in every way but sexual tension.
Reed (Book 4)
Reed Love is more than a computer genius and hacker extraordinaire thanks to his DNA. He has a love-hate relationship with the invisible pop-up boxes that appear around everyone he meets and the ease with which he can access that data. Pictures, financial data, passwords, it doesn’t matter what the information or how deep in the web strangers try to disguise it. Reed has access, and these boxes dance in front of him, enticing him to look.
Handler Avery Malone enjoys life and traveling to exotic locales to keep the operatives under her charge safe and out of trouble. She thrives on adventure and the pressure of being the one person who calls the shots.

Uggh
Just don’t waste your time. Don’t get trapped like I did thinking it’s going to be a good romantic mystery. I’m glad it was a kindle unlimited, but I’ll never get that time back. I couldn’t finish the series it was sooooo bad!!!! There were so many inconsistencies in each story. I just can’t list them all! One of the many things that bugged me was if the family lives on a small island, and have all there lives, wouldn’t they know most of the locals? How come if Skylar’s brother is the sheriff, she doesn’t know the fire chief? The second book was horrible.

#1 Skyler:
Luke was a childhood friend, who had moved to New York, and made his fortune.
He had come back to the island to celebrate his birthday, or so that was the story.
Skyler had a crush on Luke since forever! Even though he had asked her out, she felt that was her brother's doing, trying to help with what they thought was a devastating breakup with her ex, so her answer to Luke was no!
However, when the truth comes out, well things were looking up, until someone tried to poison them.
Great mystery story.
#2 Declan
For a guy that was supposed to be able to discern if someone spoke the truth, Declan comes across as one who mistrusts everyone.
Olivia on the other hand appears an open book. Someone that has known the family all her life, and had spent a lot of time around them, it should also mean that the brothers should know what type of girl she is, and what type of life she leads, outside the family situation.
So, in saying all the above, I really are amazed at some of things Declan "unravels" in this episode.
#3 Flynn
Flynn comes across as a player, but then again, he seems to have everyone's back. I believe lots of people wear a mask, not truly revealing their real personality to the world, but one that will enable them to keep people at a certain distance. Flynn appears as one of these.
However, Mia is clever enough to see the true nature of Flynn.
Interesting episode.
#4 Reed
This guy is definitely a super nerd, with abilities most computer geeks would die for.
However, he has the ability to not only play it on the down low, but capture the girl that makes his dreams come true.
Good read!
