But the arrival of her sexy new boss has her both shaken and stirred. Add the temptation of a bakery in need of a marketing guru and Kennedy begins to wonder if easy is all it’s cracked up to be.Easy is Hunter Clayborne’s middle name.

When polished and persistent and tough-to-resist Jackson barges into her world, Asia does what she can to keep her less-than-sparkling background to herself.CEO Jackson Lowell has worked hard for everything he has—perhaps a little too single-mindedly. When a friend challenges him to go on a “real” date, not a business function with a blind date, Asia seems like the perfect choice. Everything from her sunshine-bright outfits to her don’t-get-too-close vibe draws him in.Asia finds it hard to ignore Jackson’s charm, but she’s conditioned to keep her secrets close to her chest. The more she shuts him out, the more determined he becomes to get to know her anyway. If she finally lets him in, will he cut his losses or realize the biggest payoff ever?ONE AND Second-best will never be good enough.Drummer Micah Sullivan lost his music and his dreams when his wife died unexpectedly. In the aftermath, he quit his band and pushed away family and friends. Three years later, he’s opened a music shop and tells himself he’s content trying to make it a hit. What he failed to consider is that success requires connections—including the very ones he turned his back on.When Sloan McGuire takes a job at a bar as the entertainment manager, she doesn’t expect to run into Micah, whose late wife was her best friend. She can tell he’s still lost in grief, and out of love for her friend, she resolves to help him find peace. What she and Micah find together, though, has the potential to be something more. Sloan fights the attraction, not only because of their history but because she’s always been second fiddle.To Micah, a solo act seems safer than a duet, but with Sloan, he develops a new appreciation for harmony.

[Bernadette Cinkoske · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am in love with the concept of Hale Street. The drive of Violet, Burke and Nick to restore and revitalize the area shines through the story lines in all the books. Sweet Spot is Hunter and Kennedy's story. It is nice to see Kennedy grow out of her shell. Amazing characters and story telling. I can see I will not accomplish much until all the books are read!
Soft Spot, while shorter than the first three (it is a novella after all), is as well done as the first three books - entertaining characters and a well developed plot. I have already started the next novella. I recommend the entire series.
One and Only is a great story with wonderful, believable characters. Sloan and Micah's story is very moving. I cannot wait for the next book in the Hale Street series. Highly recommended.
I own each book so I did not purchase this box set.

Fall in love on Hale Street

I absolutely love Hale Street. This re-gentrification project in the midst of the city of Nashville is like a small-town oasis in the middle of a vast urban sprawl. The mix of shops, stores, businesses and residents feels so REAL. Everyone knows everyone and pitches in to help when help is needed. People actually talk to each other.
All of these standalone stories have tons of heart and bundles of warm, fuzzy feels. They will make you laugh, cry, form friendships, and fall in love. These books, when binged, might feel like there are gaps in chronology, because they aren't ALL the books, only AMY's books. Amy is good about including the other authors' characters without allowing any spoilers about their stories.
I bought a copy of this series boxset on Amazon and voluntarily chose to share my review.

The stories were good but could have been better developed instead of all the details about sex. Boring.

Well written stories- pretty clean

I rated each book separately - you need to read the whole series. It's wonderful.
