Librarian Note: This is the original cover edition of ASIN: B01MTMALRR.

Box set of the first three books in the Bestselling Lawson Brothers series - Love So Hot, Love So True, and Love So Irresistible.

LOVE SO HOT
Bank Teller and all around good girl, Sydney McKnight, is tired of being the girl all the guys want to have as a friend. Who better to help unleash her inner vixen than her best friend and secret crush, Brody Lawson? Only, Sydney has no idea how to ask him, without their friendship going up in flames, until that is, the town of Jessamine's annual Firemen's Auction gives her the perfect excuse to set her plan into motion.

Fire Captain Brody Lawson has been in love with his best friend, Sydney, for years, but he would never risk their friendship by confessing his feelings to her. So, when Sydney beats out the competition to buy his time at the annual Firemen's Auction, Brody can hardly believe his luck until she asks him to teach her how to seduce a fellow fireman.

Now, it’s up to Brody to show Sydney how perfect she already is and convince her that the only man for her is him, because if Sydney is going to seduce any man, it’s going to be him. And once he has her in his bed, he’s not letting her go.

Love So True
Single mom, Bailey Yates, has had enough of bad boys to last her the next eighteen years. She’s always been a sucker for them, and Jessamine’s ultimate bad boy, Lucas Lawson, is no exception for her. So, when he returns to town, naturally she’s drawn to him. And naturally, she must avoid him at all costs—no matter how attracted she is to him. She’ll give him a job, and keep her distance…until Lucas saves her son from a hit and run.

Finally, Lucas Lawson is a free man. After serving five years in prison for embezzlement, he’s come home to Jessamine to right the wrongs he committed against his friends and family. But, it won’t be easy. For starters, the brother he’s looked up to his entire life wants nothing to do with him, and no one in town trusts Lucas enough to give him a chance to make amends. Until, Bailey Yates gives him a job at her family’s diner.

All former Navy SEAL Mason Lawson craves is solitude. Unfortunately, his new neighbor won’t allow him the peace he so desperately needs. Between the traffic and the music, Mason is constantly on edge—not exactly what the doctor ordered for someone recovering from a bullet to the leg. However, when he finally has enough and confronts his neighbor, nothing can prepare him for how hot he’d get for the teacher next door.

Love So Irresistible
Piano teacher Skylar Jernigan loves everything about the town of Jessamine—from the quaint Main Street shops to the people who own them. Unfortunately, once she’s chewed up and spit out by her sexy neighbor, Skylar begins to question her decision to move to a new town. Until, that is, she learns he’s suffering from a war wound and refuses to have anything to do with his family.

Now, Skylar is determined to help Mason recover—mentally, physically and socially—until he turns the tables and sets out to seduce Skylar right out of her meddling ways. Only seduction turns into something more and soon, Mason can’t stop looking for excuses to be with her. But when the Navy wants Mason to reenlist for a dangerous mission, will Skylar be too irresistible for him to leave?

Read the first story female lead was weak she had feelings for her male best friend but never told him she played the role of best friend didn’t go on dates as everyone she thought had friend zoned her let’s be honest she didn’t try to meet anyone because she liked him but never once said anything to hint to him she watched him hook up with another woman who later helps her get with him he’s completely selfish he loves his best friend but won’t risk friendship he’s allowed to date women and have a sex life but scares anyone off who may like her she’s to be single with no sex life and he’s happy with that it’s only when she says she likes someone does he stop sleeping with his current partner and sleeps with her he’s self absorbed oh am a hero an outstanding guy no he’s not he’s selfish.

I love Lawson men...it's as simple as that. This series is one of my favorite if not THE favorite :)
These books give us everything we want and need in a book: funny banter, strong characters, hot and sexy times and swoon moments that will melt your hearts. When you meet these men and women who stole their heart you’ll understand why I love this family as much as i do <3

It’s definitely a must buy for sure!

I love this series!

Love So Hot-
This is the first book in a new series by Marquita Valentine & like her other series I can see I'm going to love this one, too. It's sweet, it's cute, & the heat level rivals that of a 4 alarm fire!!!!

It seems almost everyone in town knows Sydney McKnight loves Brody Lawson and many know the reverse is also true. All except the two stars of this unrequited love. So when Sydney finally decides she is tired of everyone seeing her as one of the guys (especially Brody) she asks him to teach her how to be the girl all the guys want. Brody isn't quite sure what to do. He's loved Syd for years but doesn't want to lose his best friend so he's kept his hands & feelings to himself, all the while warning every guy she dates to watch themselves.

This story has lots of laughter, some tears, and along the way you will find yourself an HEA. So please come & meet the Lawson Brothers.

Love So True-
This is the story of Lucas Lawson & Bailey Yates. Such a sweet story!!!

Lucas Lawson is home after doing 5 years in prison. Coming home & facing his family & the people he grew up around is the hardest thing he has ever done. But he is determined to prove that he has learned his lesson, if only the people of Jessamine will let him.

Bailey Yates has always had a weakness for bad boys. That has gotten her nothing but heartbreak & a fatherless child. She's determined not to make the same mistake again.

Within minutes of showing up at his parents he sees Bailey & he remembers her from when they were in school. The attraction is immediate between them. When Bailey finds out that no one in town will give Lucas a job she offers him one. After all, he paid his debt to society & everyone deserves a chance to prove themselves, as far as she is concerned. Soon, sparks begin to fly between these two injured souls. Will Bailey take a chance on the ultimate bad boy? Will Lucas stick around, even with the whole town treating him like a criminal? You'll just have to read this sweet little second chance book to find out.

Love So Irresistible-
Oh my, these Lawson Brother's are just so dang HOT!!! I love Marquita Valentine's stories. They are sweet with just the right amount heat.

Mason Lawson came home from war ravaged, both physically & mentally. He just wants to be left alone, in peace & quiet, but that isn't happening. Unfortunately for him (or not) he finds he has a new neighbor who teaches children music from her home, with her windows open. And the 'noise' those kids make is not helping his recovery. When he confronts Skylar things start to get really interesting. The story that follows is one that everyone will enjoy. And I can't wait to meet even more of these hot, sexy Lawson brothers.

LOVE SO HOT:
Sydney that girl sometimes does things to an extreme, "here you go." She thrust out the bat and almost smacked Brody in the groin." Brody is a very affectionate man, and he loves his girl's a**, "he let go of her face and neck to run his hands down the sides of her body to cup her a**. He squeezed, enjoying the feel of every delicious curve. "Damn fine a**," he said against her mouth." Sometimes Sydney catches him off guard and his reactions are funny, "but all he did was let his hot, appreciative gaze roam over her. "Damn, woman." I can't wait to see more in this series I love Marquita's books and I love the men that come out of her head.

LOVE SO TRUE:
Our Lawson boys are back, Lucas I really liked him and I really thought Brody needed to get the stick out of his butt, "Lucas smiled a little, though he really didn't feel like it. "Two eyewitnesses back up my story, big brother. Guess you won't have the pleasure of seeing me go back to jail after all." I liked Bailey and Lucas together they understood each other, and I loved how honest they were:
"I'm out of practice," he said roughly.
"Makes two of us." She nipped at his bottom lip. "We should do something about it."
Mason I can't wait for his book he sounds like an intriguing broody character that I can't wait to read about.

LOVE SO IRRESISTIBLE:
Mason on a sedative is funny, "she twisted her lips as Mason’s hand crept up the side of her shirt. “Let me guess. Drugs make him a lover and not a fighter.” His large hand cupped her right breast." Mason he sometimes asks stupid questions I mean no one can resist a sexy Lawsons body, "anything else you can’t resist?” he asked and she jerked up her gaze, blushing hotly at being caught ogling him." Mason is a tad bit touchy when it comes to his tattoo, "emblem.” His clenched his jaw as she slid her hand along his shoulder, tracing the twin skulls. “I got another one on my a**. Wanna feel me up there, too?" When he started to loosen up I fell in love with him so much more, "no. Sex isn’t a laughing matter. Little Big Mason would never come out again." I'm hoping Tristan's book is next I love this series.

Great boxset 5*
Enjoyed all 3 stories in this boxset. Each story is a standalone but interconnected as the MMC in each story are brothers.
Love So Hot is a friend to lovers romance that was sweet but also made me want to smack Brody over the head with how blind he is to Sydney's feelings for him.
Love So True is a 'forbidden' love mixed with single mum romance and it was emotionally heartbreaking and heartwarming and I was rooting for Lucas and Bailey as they were so good for each other, healing and supporting each other and finding happiness and love together.
Love So Irresistible is a little bit of opposites attract and enemies to lovers. There were heavy moments in the story as it shed light on PTSD which Mason is going through and feelings of abandonment which is what Skylar is trying to overcome. But also lighthearted and funny moments that had me smiling and chuckling. I loved the epilogue which was just too sweet and had me teary eyed and swooning.
You also get a sneak peek at Love So Tempting which is Tristan and Lemons's story and it has me very intrigued to keep reading!

Lawson Brothers – Marquita Valentine – 4 stars

The Lawson Brothers boxed set was the first I’ve read by author Marquita Valentine and I enjoyed every cheesy moment of it. The first book in the boxset follows Brody Lawson a hometown hero and one of the towns firefighters. The second follows Lucas the black sheep of the family and the third follows Mason the broody war hero. Each book is a standalone and ends with a HEA.
Love So Hot is Brody and Sydney’s book and is a best friend to lover’s novel. Brody has a heart of gold and penchant for fixing problems and being a good guy. However, he has a confession Brody’s best friend and just another one of the guys Sydney is trying to date, but he hates the thought of her with another man. So, he makes sure the rest of the guys in town know she isn’t available. Sydney is over being everyone’s best friend rather than girlfriend, her latest date ended up taking another girl home, so in order to change she enlists the help of her long-time best friend and unrequited love interest Brody Lawson. Brody and Sydney have chemistry that is palpable through the pages and the slow burn from friends to lovers makes for a great read.

Love So True is the second book in the series and follows the black sheep of the family Lucas Lawson and hometown single mum Bailey Yates. Lucas returns to Jessamine with a bad reputation and a mar against his name, determined to set right the wrong’s he has done he tries to get a job but with little success. Bailey has a weakness for bad boys, always has, so when Lucas returns to town and she notices how he has been treated by the rest of the town she offers him a job. Lucas can’t believe Bailey has offered him a job even though her parents were one of the people he had wronged so he does everything he can to prove to her he is a better man. Lucas and Bailey have a steamy and sweet romance that I adored reading and their attraction was instant and amazing.

Love So Irresistible is the last book in this series and follows broody hometown hero Mason and Jessamine’s newest musical teacher and his new neighbour Skylar. Skylar is a musical genius who is determined to spread her love of music to young minds. She teaches them at her home and adores every minute of it. Mason has returned home after being medically discharged post an IED incident. He is hating the world and just wants to be left alone. When his new neighbour threatens his peace, he sets out to confront the noise makers he doesn’t expect Skylar. Mason and Skylar’s attraction is instant, and their story is equal parts sweet, heartbreaking and heart-warming. Overall, the Lawson Brother’s stories are sweet, easy to read and steamy and I would highly recommend to any romance fan.

Enjoy Everyday,

Fun and engaging

I really enjoyed this 3 story bundle.
The characters are interesting and each story gently introduces the next stories characters in a way that I thought was quite clever.
Each of the stories were fun though I felt the conclusion to story 1 was a little more rushed than it could have been.
The only thing letting the book down on the whole are a number of auto correct errors and a few badly edited sentences. I don't know who the proof reader was but they needed to pay a bit more attention. Over all I would read more in this series and look out for other works by this author

I was amazed by how much I loved Lawson Brothers Bundle Books 1-3, by Marquita Valentine. These stories exemplify Valentine’s creativity and her outstanding writing ability, especially when writing sexy and sensitive scenes. Ms. Valentine is a talented writer who wrote stories so good that it was difficult, at least for this reader, to stop reading. These books are a must read for anyone who enjoys a good contemporary romance. I highly recommend this book to other readers.

This is a new author to me Nd I have to say I loved this boxset. It was a fabulous way to get to know an author. The books were each different. I loved the navy seal Mason. There are 3 books in this boxset: Love So Hot; Love so True and Love So Irresistible. I love boxset but too often you get through one and don’t want to bother with the rest but I read these back to back. Recommend.

3.5 Stars for this box set

I loved all 3 stories - they’re hot and steamy, there’s humor and there’s HEA’s ... BUT! This set is poorly edited and that detracts from the enjoyment of the stories themselves. Missing words, incorrect words, grammar errors are all blatant.
Of the 3, Brody and Sydney’s book was my favorite

OMGosh, OMGosh, OMGosh!!!! Each and every book... 😍😍😍

I thoroughly enjoyed this novel from the first page until the very last. It has been a very rare occurrence that I could just pick up a book and read it in one day; but, I was captivated by these characters and their amazing love story instantaneously.

Lawson Brothers=steamy verbal sparing

These are cute, the brothers are all cute and have hot jobs. The women all have strength and cuteness. The stories are well balanced. Mccoy's seem to run the show but Apple seems a bit flighty and flat. Can't wait to see how a Lawson and a Mccoy get together.

Decent short stories

Three decent short stories about three of the 8 Lawson brothers falling in love and working out their difficulties to end their happy ending. The stories needed editing and idk something a bit more to fluff up the stories.

A bundle of fun,

cute and hot three little stories.
They’re perfect to take your mind off of the world’s seriousness, take you out for a laugh on some of the cheesiness and even maybe make you aww at the sweet moments.
Do recommend to anyone looking for all of the above.
