This box set includes five books for the price of one. How can you possibly go wrong? All five are incredibly romantic, full of emotions, and have guaranteed happy endings. Enough to pique the interest of any true romance lover. My personal fave was Saving Her. I’m a sucker for a man who can’t help but rescue the damsel in distress. Throw in some cult-like fanatics, an alpha hero, and a black ops operation, and you’ve got yourself a winner. R.R. Banks brings the heat, suspense, and romance in each and every book and this set is definitely one you should grab today!

Book 1 - Major O - ARC
I love R.R. Banks books and this one is no different. This is a second chance kind of book with a great backstory with wonderful characters. I really enjoyed Caleb in this book. This is a one-click book and a must read.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

Book 2 - Saving Her- ARC
This is an emotional rollercoaster of a book. Eric and Calee are both in need of something more in life. Calee, in need of getting away from the cult her parents sold her too long ago. And Eric wants to feel like he didn't fail everyone in his life. When Eric finds Calee on the run, they find each other at the perfect time and bring each other the love they both need.
I loved this story so much. I will so be rereading this book again.
I voluntary read advance readers copy for my honest review.

Book 3 - Snow and the 7 Hunks- ARC
Talk about girl power when it comes to this book! Snow is forced into a 3-month vacation when her best friend gives her a brochure about a cottage in the woods. This cottage is all about you, whatever your heart desires. So Snow wants seven different dates with seven different men. And really who can fault her. Given the option wouldn't you do something like this? But while Snow is enjoying her time she finds something she didn't expect Noah. And while Noah and she are getting close, Snow refuses to stop her dates as she feels she is learning more about herself from these different men.
I loved that Snow didn't give up her fantasies for this man that yes she liked and has an attraction to, but for all, she knew that could all it be. She felt if she had to finish this journey for herself to be a better woman, and I am happy that Banks let that story ride out.
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

Book 4 - Her Hunk - ARC
I will start out by saying I don't usually go for the older-woman-younger-man thing. Not saying those books are not usually well written and great stories, they just are not usually for me. But I thought what the hell R.R. Banks has never let me down before and his books always give me good feelings (wink wink). This book does not disappoint. I am very happy that I read this one. Eleanor is a strong woman just coming out of a marriage and the last thing she expected is to be flustered by a younger man. Hunter finds Eleanor extremely alluring and wants her in his bed. He may be young but that has never stopped him before. These two have the chemistry that burns through your Kindle. Loved it. I voluntarily read an advance reader copy for my honest review.

Book 5 - Her Tycoon - ARC
This is a novella that you can only get in this wonderful book collection. As always R.R. brings his A-Game with this story. Mason is the man you want to hate but as always he will redeem himself. And Ella the great momma that will bring Mason to his knees.

A great book set and must add to your collection!

This super box-set is here to introduce you the steamy sexy hot world of R.R. Banks. Enjoy!!!


I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This box-set is such a pleasant surprise for me!
I recently became aware of R.R. Banks bibliography and I have had the pleasure to read few arc's of the author's latest releases when the chance came up.
However, as soon as I became a fan I hadn't had the chance to read his first works. Now, I am and I'm floating in cloud nine while I'm still reading R.R. Banks first book projects.

To be honest I 'm not going to review each book here. Not right now.
What I want to express and underline here is that Mr. R.R. Banks has surpass his self over the year, each book a transition from something good to something great and counting.
I fell in love with the author's writing style; Firstly, the atmospheric Whiskey Hollow, the secret town I think he has a big crush with and, on my part, I looked forward to see it every time I started one of his new books; Secondly, of course, the utterly interesting characters with their unique stories that he brings to life so effortlessly for us to read them. Each couple more hot than the previous, each couple always somehow connected with the other one's stories, each story a door to something impossible heartwarming...Great Love!

For me Desire is the perfect start to meet R.R. Banks work. The best opportunity to get into his world, have a taste and fell in love with his work in the end.
I guarantee you are going to enjoy it.

Major O
Caleb and Abby were sweethearts and then he vanished. Heartbroken Abby leaves town for school. Now back home twelve years later she back home for a funeral and runs into Caleb. Can Caleb show Abby that she doesn't need to settle and to give him a second chance.

Saving Her

So when Calee didn't give the leader a child he deemed her fruitless and put her aside. Eric is a surgeon and former military man that worked as a medic in and out of the field.

Thinking that they were safe Calee and Eric dropped their guards. Then Calee receives a call from Raymond the Cult leader and know they were just dreaming it was over. I loved this book. Calee and Eric's romance was sweet and sexy at times. If you haven't gotten this book I suggest you do so now.

Snow and the Seven Hunks
This is a modern take a on an old fairytale. When Snow's boss marries a woman that hates Snow things go downhill for her especially when he makes Lucille the person to take over his company when he retires. When Lucille tries to find a way to fire Snow Mr. Glass convinces Snow to take time off. Snow friend tells her about a place called The Enchanted Woods. When Snow meets seven gorgeous men at the resort and all sorts of steamy things take place.

Her Hunk
This is a spinoff to Snow and the Seven Hunks. Eleanor meets Hunter at her nephews wedding. Eleanor doesn't want Hunter to know who she is and every time they are together things never go as planned. This is a story of an older woman younger man.

Her Tycoon
This is a brand new story. Mason is a playboy never wanting to settle down and he thought he was happy that way until he met Ella.

This is an anthology of four previously published books and a newly published novella length romance. I found RR Banks several months ago and Her Hunk, one of the books in this anthology, was the first book of his I read, and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed everything from that book forward. So you know I’m biased towards his work, which is why it’s a bit painful to leave a negative review.

Here’s the thing. If you don’t mind a romance novel with detailed descriptions of the hero’s and/or heroine’s random hookups, even after they’ve met each other, then you’ll love this anthology. Personally, that bothers me. I don’t want details from my SO about his past relationships, and I don’t want them in characters I’m supposed to connect with and live through vicariously. I read to escape the real world, and this kind of thing brings the real world into my fictional world, leaving no chance for escape. So if you’re the same, skip the first story. And the second story. Annnd the third. But you can be comfortable digging into Her Hunk and Her Tycoon, both of which are great stories and well worth the price of this book. You won’t find Her Tycoon anywhere else, and it’s a wonderful story with some steam, some sweetness, and a ton of heart!

I have no doubt that this work will have plenty of positive reviews and mine will get buried and have very little effect on the overall ranking. This author has a very loyal fan base, and I’m likely to get tarred and feathered, but it's important to leave my honest thoughts, otherwise new readers can’t really rely on the validity of my review. I still adore this author and, although I read an advance copy, I also purchased the book to support him. If you’ve read his work, this review probably won’t influence you much, but if you’re new to RR Banks, I suggest you start with one of his publications from late last year. I believe those works are a much better representation of his writing ability, which certainly seems to improve with each new book. So I will continue to read his new works and can’t wait to see what he comes up with next!

OMG I LOVED each one of these wonderful stories
Major O
Caleb Tirico and Abby Greenwood were high school sweethearts deeply in love, living their life to the fullest until Abby's father forced Caleb out if town because Abby's father did not think that Caleb was good enough for his daughter. Caleb left Abby whithout any explanations to enlist. Abby was heartbroken, destroyed but tried her best to move on with her life, marrying a man that she did not love. Caleb, already doubting himself, his worth, had to leave Abby because of her father's but also because Caleb needed to find a purpose to his life, come to terms with his life. Basically Caleb just needed to grow up.
Twelve years later, Caleb is back and his feelings for Abby seems to be as strong and intense as they were back then. Not ready to accept them, Caleb has a moment with an old friend of theirs. After saving Abby from a crazy ex, Caleb and Abby finally have their talk and Abby learns the real reason Caleb had to leave town. Abby is understandly hurt that Caleb thought so little of her, of their love. No longer able to deny their feelings, Caleb and Abby give in to this raw and passionate need that they've always had for each other. However, before they can enjoy their happy ending, Caleb and Abby have to confront her crazy ex again but this time, they might not be able to stop him...
Saving Her
Eric, was a surgeon and a former military man who served as a medic, on and off the field. He was a broody, alpha, protector type all the way, yet he was also capable of great sweetness and understanding. I would classify him as an Apex Alpha. And boy oh boy was it hot when he turned that on!
Calee, the female protagonist, was an abused cult escapee on the run for the lives of herself and her unborn child. Unwillingly sheltered from society and unworldly to a certain degree, she nevertheless kept fighting on. Calee was an interesting character. On one hand, you have the demure, trodden upon escapee, and on the other you have this strong, determined, smart woman who refuses to stay down. I loved her. I rooted for her. I cheered for her. You will too.
A chance encounter connects Eric and Calee, drawing on his ultra protective nature and prompting him to help her. She resists, at first, but finally accepts his assistance. Nature and chemistry take their course, and things seem to go great until the past catches up and threatens to tear them apart. Calee must stay strong, and Eric calls in back up for an epic rescue that shows there are no limits to what a man will do to save the woman he loves.
The book has a happily ever after, so I dont think its a spoiler to say the epilogue has a sweet and endearing peak into their lives about a year in the future.
Snow and the Seven Hunks
Snow Whitman is at the top of her game in Advertising plus she really enjoys where she works. Royal and Company is owned by Walter, her boss and mentor. Then while on a small vacation Walter gets married to Lucille. Who happens to be an evil and spiteful young woman. She has always competed with Snow and always trying to one up her. So Walter retires and makes Lucille the president. Her First job was trying to fire Snow, but luckily Mr. Glass who was Walters PA saves her. Tells Snow to take a couple months vacation fillings cool down. So she does. Her best friend Robin gets her a brochure about an exclusive resort called THE ENCHANTED WOODS. He talks her into going. This is where the 7 hunks come in play. She meets them at this resort. A date with each one. She meets a cowboy rancher, a musician, baseball player, billionaire, baker, a biker and then two bikers. This does end in a Happily ever after
Her Hunk
I loved the way Hunter and Eleanor meet at her nephews wedding and then have another surprise meeting on a cruise ship as a thank you from the couple. Only Eleanor is trying to get away from some hired goons her ex husband has hired to bring her back. So Hunter tries to help her and they end up going overboard. A small yacht picks them up and they end up in a storm and shipwrecked on a remote island. I loved the story of how they get to know each other and fall in love. I also like how Hunter reacts to being lied to and how his friends try to fix the mess and get them off the island. It's a great down to earth love story that has it all. Terror, excitement, love, secrets, and forgiveness
Her Tycoon
This is a new novella story about Mason and Ella (a mamabear if I ever saw one) Mason is that man you absolutely LOVE to hate, but
Ella redeems him for us. I truly LOVED this story!

What a boxset, fortunately I got to read each book separately as one needs to go in hibernation as you just want to read all of it in one go and below are my reviews for each book.

MAJOR O

Well well well, there are sometimes when a book is soooo good it leaves you speechless. But one thing is for sure true love conquers all and despite the obstacles that Abby and Caleb finally get a second chance or is it a first time that was postponed until the time was right.

Absolute page turned and you will love the action bit of it as the knight in shining armour comes to the rescue when things go south so fast.

SAVING HER

What a way to commemorate your birthday RR, absolutely outstanding piece of work.

A captivating doomsday cult story that will grip your attention from the onset and you will not want to put down the kindle till you get to the last page. I read it all in one seating as I just could not put it down.

The intrigue, mystery and action is just brilliant to read and the character are so believable as you will feel empathy for the oppressed residents of the Ark and feel the utmost despair with Raymond and his henchmen. This book really gives an insight into cult leaders and how they manage to convince people to their way of thinking.

Can’t sing enough praise for this book, just get it for yourself and you will not be sorry.

SNOW AND THE 7 HUNKS

If your parents name you snow and it so happens there surname is whiteman then for sure you will follow a certain path in life.

This modern day twist to the fairytale is absolutely mind boggling and will leave you breathless.

OMG Lucille is the perfect evil stepmum, wanting to be better than snow but as we all know the fairytale is never in her favour
The session with Micheal the artist is my best as for its uniqueness, let's make art now that is original and it brings out the little kid in us.

Beautiful ending loved it.

HER HUNK BY

Well well well, loved the new twist and direction that RR went with her hunk.

This book surely empowers women to feel that any thing is possible you just have to believe and shed off insecurities.
Brilliant read of self discovery for Eleanor and finally finding love with Hunter a man significantly younger than her.

HER TYCOON

Another captivating Avalon novella that will have you turning the pages from start to finish

That scene in the glass pool absolutely breath taking, you know there are some things that you read about and wonder if such a place exists and if it really did would I be bold enough to live in the moment and experience that moment as it was meant to be.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

After 12 years in the Marine Corps, 10 as a Force Recon sniper, Caleb Trico retired and put his training to work as a PI and Bond Enforcer. He enjoys being a PI – it was the perfect segue from the Corpse to civilian life. It didn’t pay well, but he was good at his job and the bounty hunting filled in the financial gaps.

Shortly after Caleb and his friend Tony had secured a bail jumper, he got a call from a hometown friend. It was bad news and he needed to return to Sheridan Falls, Washington, a place he never planned to see again. The town held too many bad memories… too much heartache and…Abby.

Abby had loved Caleb all through high school. They had plans for a life together but right after his graduation, Caleb disappeared with no explanation. When she was finally able to pull herself together, she attended Columbia and obtained her Psychology degree. From there she moved to New York started her practice and married.

When her marriage ended it created another vacant space in her heart. She needed friends, family and familiar surroundings and small town life so she returned to Sheridan Falls where she opened her practice in the hopes of starting a new life…a life that would dispel the cloud of shame and failure she was living under.

She never forgot Caleb or filled the void in her heart from the loss but she was making progress. Imagine her surprise when she comes face-to-face with him after all the years they have been apart.

There is so much hidden from the reader – a back story that is revealed in bits and pieces as the story progresses. This is more than a love story…it’s about hidden agendas, hope, the possibility for a future that was stolen so long ago. It is filled with desire, love and a shocking twist. Don’t miss this one!

I must say I found every story in Desire engaging. The set is full of great romance stories that will fill many hours and more than a few fantasies during this very cold winter. Every story is filled with great characters, some challenging moments, plenty of lust and always an unexpected challenge. What a nice surprise – take your time and enjoy you trips through many lives and loves. I am pretty sure you will enjoy them all…I certainly did! Four other full length books include: Saving Her, Snow and the 7 Hunks, Her Hunk and Her Tycoon! I did not include their reviews only because it would have made this review way too long. Rather I am posting them individually.

Desire Book Review

Here’s what I thought when I read these books... and I will be happy to read them again...


R. R. Banks Book Review
Major O

R. R. Banks has done it... love the storyline and twist...SPOILER ALERT...the only thing I would change is how fast Abby had forgiven Caleb. I would of at least had him grovel a little bit more and had him seduce her into forgiveness of his transgressions.

Saving Her Book Review
Save Her and Me
I can count on one hand(maybe two) how many 5 star books I actually took the time to read and leave a review for.
And this one is right up there. R. R. Banks has really done it this time... This book has so much emotion and imagination. And written so good that I would even buy a copy for my mother to read...
I wasn't really feeling the story at first, but then, it happened. This storyline grabbed me and I couldn't put it down.

Snow and the 7 Hunks

It's off to PLAY, she goes...

7 men and one dream... This was such a beautiful story from start to finish...I initially received an advanced copy of "Snow and the 7Hunks." I read it and got lost in the count... So, I just had to download it again and refresh my mind...and wanted to go find The Enchanted Woods Retreat...
I'm already a huge fan of Banks writings and would recommend any of the books including this one to anyone...
Snow isn't all that naive and no where near stupid... Glad to see a Strong smart young lady working hard and playing hard... If I could, I'd be whistling already... (theme song playing)

Her Hunk
He's not a Boy Toy, Her Hunk of man meat

R. R., you've written a book that has not only has some hot points, but a gripping storyline. And it a wonderful change to see an older (slightly) woman and a younger man.
Who says that every book has to have some young chick getting all the limelight. Nice role reversal.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
Hero: Hunter = 5/5
Heroine: Eleanor = 5/5
Chemistry = 5/5
Sex = 5/5
Plot = 4/5
Mystery = 4/5
Action =  4/5
Humor = 3/5 (Does sarcasm count as well)
POV = multiple
Would I recommend this book = yes
Would I re-read this book = yes
Would I read future books by this author = yes

Her Tycoon

Well hot diggity dog... I really enjoyed this one...
Hot and sassy... a great weekend read

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I had previously read Major O, Saving her, Snow and the 7 Hunk and Her Hunk and absolutely loved them. Major O was my first read by R.R. and I found it to be an amazing page turner and I couldn't put it down. I had looked forward to his next books and I wasn't disappointed.

My reaction to Saving her: WOW! What an amazing story. This was a very unique, different story by R.R. Banks and it touches the core of one's heart while reading it. Calee and Eric have both been through the wringer and this story tells us how they get through it.

Snow and the 7 Hunks: Another amazing story by R.R. Banks. Snow is on a mission to discover herself and gets to spend a date with seven hunks. I liked Snow's strong character and her willingness to breakthrough her inhibitions.

Her Hunk: R.R. Banks does it again. What a 5-star hit story. It is different than previous books but in the best way. This is an older woman, younger man romance. It is unique and very interesting.

The author take us through a wild adventure (literally). This story continues characters from previous Banks book: Snow and the 7 hunks. We have Noah, Snow and Hunter of course - the lead of this story. It was nice to get chapters from different characters point of view and also to see what's happening in Snow and Noah's life.

The story is well-written, full-fledged, covering all the aspects of the story. It was a joy reading it and I'm glad I'm on R.R. Banks ARC list. I get to read the best stories in advance by this author who never disappoints. Even his Newsletters are funny and personalized.

Her Tycoon: Last but not the least, the previously unpublished book was a great read. It was relatively short compared to other books by R.R. but in no means was it less worthy. Mason and Ella are from completely different worlds but with very similar tragic past. Ella and her sister's banter/quarreling is so real, it was fun to read. And the innocent but true words that come out of Edmond, the four year old son was just so cute. Mason and Ella's tragic past had me tearing up. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this box set.

This is quite the box set, absolutely wonderful.
I have posted the following reviews for each story:
Major O: This was an utterly fantastic book. The storyline was fresh and unique. Abby and Caleb were so well developed and very sympathetic characters. Both of them learned that total commitment to each other was the only way to reach their ultimate happiness. All of the characters added many great layers to the story. The book had twists that added suspense to an already wonderful story. It fulfilled every promise made with steamy heartfelt passion along the way. This second chance story was one of the best that I have ever read.
Saving Her: This story is so heartbreakingly sad and so heartbreakingly uplifting at the same time--what a read! The pain, the terror, the hurt, and the redemption--it is all so encompassing. With so much heavy emotion, R.R. Banks brings his characters home and it is not an easy journey, but one so very worth the trip. Calee and Eric are so in need of saving and finding their missing pieces. Love can sometimes be worth all that the awful past throws at you. This is an outstanding novel--no other words for it.
Snow and the Seven Hunks: The first part of this book will have you laughing so hard from Snow's best friend Robin's comments, that choking could be a problem. Then we slip right into sexual, sensual self awakening, possibly a problem of a different sort. This story is so much fun. I love Snow, and Noah is drool worthy. As I kept reading I kept wondering how anyone could come up with such a neat story, but apparently that someone is R.R. Banks.
Her Hunk: Just plain loved it. There were lots of characters in this one and reading Snow and the Seven Hunks could make the storyline a little easier, but it isn't absolutely necessary. Eleanor and Hunter had to work through a great many things--money, age, lies--to name just a few. Surprises, suspense, and heat were around every corner. This was another worthwhile read.
Her Tycoon: This was the perfect story to end this anthology. It was oh, so funny, hot, sweet--just adorable. Ella and Mason had suffered major losses in their lives, so they were perfect for each other's needed healing. This story was the cherry on top of the whole wonderful anthology.
No one should miss this box set.

Desire

I voluntarily read an arc received via Booksprout for a fair and honest review. Desire is a compilation of some of R.R. Banks best works. Even though I had read four of the five books, I had not read Her Tycoon. There’s nothing not to like about this book. I prefer realistic banter, and use of contractions, male and female leads with not only sex appeal but a sense of humor. How could you not get interested in a book that starts with a insightful man tossing a gel filled bra, The morning after a one night stand down 57 stories just to keep said one night stand from having an excuse to drop by. How could you not like a heroine who not only emotionally supports but helps her adhd career changing roommate/ sister Molly pursuing her somewhat scatterbrained career choices? It’s a perfect set up for an enjoyable read. This time Ella’s sister pulled her into one of her schemes and Ella, a widow supporting a son can’t afford to turn sister down. She learns they will be planning an event for gazillionaire and gel bra pitcher Mason Dupree at his home in the toney Avalon building. As it stands, Mason doesn’t even want to attend this party, even though it is being held in his home. When Ella’s baby sitter cancels just before Ella is supposed to go to Mason’s home for the party set up, she’s left with no choice but to bring her four year old son with her. Where this author went wrong was not taking the time for character development and fleshing out these people more. The conflict seemed trumped up, just so there could be a conflict. This book should have been another 100 pages. The characters were great characters to write about and even Molly was interesting. What could have been a really good story seemed like a throwaway. This book had humor that could have been expanded...I just think with Mr. Tycoon, the author had a golden ticket and didn’t realize what she possessed.

I have read each of the books in this box set and have loved them all. Definitely recommend this book.

Major O
I loved it, from the sexy cover to the last page. Wonderful second chance romance, the emotion throughout this book tugged at me. It's a hot and sexy read. Caleb and Abby's story will stay with me for long while yet.

Saving Her
I absolutely loved this story by RR Banks, there is definitely something for everyone in this story. There is danger and excitement galore with twists and turns.
Calee is a cult escapee and gets rescued by Eric, a military medic. He takes her under his watch and the bond between them deepens.
A difficult topic dealt with brilliantly. Couldn't recommend this book more, wonderful flowing storyline, brave hero and strong heroine. Wonderful book.....
Standalone story with a HEA.

Snow and the 7 Hunks
This is a wonderful sexy adventure of how Snow through exploration found the sexy woman she was meant to be.
I found the beginning a bit slow but I definitely got into the story and didn't want it to end. Loved the way each hunk taught her a different way to explore her sexuality.
Wonderful dirty fairytale, Prince Charming was wonderful. Evil stepmom got what she deserved. Well written story that flowed seamlessly. Characters were well developed.

Her Hunk
This is a standalone story, with a HEA, with visits from characters from Snow and the Seven Hunks.
I'm not a big reader of older woman/ younger man, but I'm a fan of R R Banks so I gave it a shot. This is written in true RR Banks style and wit.
This is the story about older lady Eleanor, who is hiding from her ex husband, and a younger man Hunter, who is friends with Eleanors nephew.
This is a enjoyable story, with action, intrigue and drama

Her Tycoon
We meet bad boy Mason in his Avalon apartment, being a typical playboy. But once he meets Ella, a widowed young mother, something clicks in him. Really an enjoyable story. Loved it.

Ok...so yes.. this is a collections of previous works - with one new one - which is the main source of my review today!
Sometimes it IS nice to have them all in one spot together.
So.. first the ones I read in the past -

"Major O" - I enjoyed this because it made you THINK and FEEL! The author does an amazing job of developing these characters and making sure you stay present throughout the story - not just coast through to a HEA. A very satisfying read.

"Saving Her" - After a little bit of a slow start, you become so immersed in the character's situation that you feel as if you are standing in their shoes. Definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat.

"Snow and the 7 Hunks" - This is a wickedly fun, DIRTY, fairytale! There is fun, flirting, hot, sexy scenes, and a wicked witch. 7 men all there to help Snow explore herself and her sensuality at this awesome spa/retreat in the Enchanted Woods!

"Her Hunk" - What a story! For a change, SHE is the older of the pair and HE is the more inexperienced on. But it is not just a romance. There is danger, intrigue and several twists on the deserted island where they land shipwrecked. Definitely was glued to the pages!

and the new one.

"Her Tycoon" -Two people from different walks of life feel that sizzle of attraction the first time they meet. This seemed short in comparison to the others, and I wish it was a little longer to add some more depth, but still was a great, quick, sexy, fun read. Determination, dedication, and trust all play parts in Mason and Ella's story of healing.

All in all, a very entertaining package

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this box set.

These are all great stories by an awesome author.

MAJOR O-
This is my first book that I’ve read by this author and it won’t be my last. He wrote an amazing storyline and fantastic characters. It’s a great second chance at love for Caleb and Abby as they were high school sweethearts but were forced apart by her father. They meet again years later. Can they reignite the spark that they once had?

SAVING HER-
WOW! This book takes on an emotional roller coaster that you never really get off until the end. It’s constant and amazing, at that. Calee is, unwillingly, a part of a religious cult, hoping to escape.
Eric is a doctor, struggling with missing something, but not knowing what. Fate leads to them meeting in a diner but can they stay together through constant danger?
Must read!!

SNOW AND THE 7 HUNKS-
This was definitely a hot and steamy read, just not for me. It was well written and a twist on the fairytale. If reverse harems are something that you enjoy, then I’m sure you’d love this story. They just aren’t really my thing but it was still a pretty good book.

HER HUNK-
I loved this book! It was so well written and developed that I was hooked instantly!!
The chemistry between Eleanor and Hunter is crazy off the charts after they meet at Eleanor’s nephews wedding. It just gets better from there too.
I did enjoy the older woman/younger man aspect because it’s not as common as the older man/younger woman books.
Another read by Mr Banks that I would definitely recommend reading!

HER TYCOON-
Mason is your typical playboy that you hate but actually love to read about. Ella is a single mom and would do anything to protect her son. She is the one who can tame his playboy ways and make him fall in love.

Major O:
I read this book through my Kindle Unlimited subscription because I've enjoyed so many of R.R. Bank's books. This was no different. I thoroughly enjoy soldier romance stories and this one did not disappoint. And I am always a sucker for love once lost but rekindled. If you like all of these things, then you will enjoy Major O as much as I did!

Saving Her:
I highly recommend this book. It made me laugh. It made me cry. It had me biting my fingernails in suspense. And it even had me needing to take a cold shower! Seriously, I really enjoyed this book and was sad to have it end. It isn't your typical light and fluffy romance book. It has sustenance.

Snow and the 7 Hunks:
At first I was a little unsure if I would like a story about a woman and seven men, but it turned out to not be what I was afraid it would be. I decided to take a chance and am glad I did. It is a romantic stand alone book with a happy ever after - just as the fairy tale is. One of the things that I found very entertaining was all of the little references to the fairy tale (enchanted woods, Snow Whitman, etc.) I had fun trying to find all of them and only wish there was a list of them at the end to see how I did. Perhaps Mr. Banks could be persuaded to supply that to us eventually - maybe in his newsletter. Anyway, the characters are all likable, even the evil wicked witch (sometimes you love to hate someone), although I would have liked to find out more about what happened to her at the end - just desserts and all. I applaud R.R. Banks for a great twist on an old classic (although I'm not sure I'll be able to read Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs without thinking of Snow and the 7 Hunks ever again.) There is plenty of humor too, which is always a plus for me. I think that I would really enjoy sitting down and talking with Mr. Banks over donuts and coffee - well, if I drank coffee so maybe just donuts. I'm sure it would be quite an entertaining time!

Her Hunk:
With each new book I read I end up with a new favorite! R.R. Banks takes a character who was a supporting character from a previous book (Snow and the 7 Hunks) and weaves a tale around him. However, it isn't necessary to read that book first because this is a standalone with no cliffhanger and a HEA, although I highly recommend it. This story is a nice length...it doesn't end too soon leaving you scratching your head wondering what happened to the story. It captured my interest within the first paragraph and kept me invested until the very end. I had a hard time putting it down so mostly I didn't.
Now, I'm hopeful that some of the supporting characters (Gavin, Sophie & Edwin) from this book will get their own books so we can learn about them!

Her Tycoon:
This is a never before release from R.R. Banks that I believe is only available through this Multi-Romance Book deal. It's another one with interesting characters. I love the Hero, Mason and how completely unlovable he is at the beginning of the story. Of course we find out what makes him tick and come to reconcile the jerk with the hot alpha male. And let's not forget Ella, the mama-bear who is just the one to bring Mason to his knees and get him to change his ways.

All in all these five stories are very entertaining and I'm sure you will love them as much as I did!

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is a wonderful collection of stories by RR Banks that are guaranteed to please. The first story, Major O is a second chance small town romance that occurs when the two main characters return to the childhood homes. The story is sweet, steamy, dramatic and filled with action. Saving Her is a story of a surgeon/ex-Military man and a cult escapee whom he saves. What's interesting about this story is that while he saves her, she sames him right back by filling a gap in his life that he didn't even recognize needed filling. Snow and the 7 Hunks and Her Hunk are a modernized version of the fairy tale that focuses on the journey of finding the right person for the rest of your life. The final and new story, Her Tycoon focuses on self-discovery, loving yourself and finding the love of another.
This is one of the best collections of stories that I've read. They each will captivate you until the end - have you laughing, sighing, screaming and wishing they wouldn't end! I highly recommend this book.

I have read the first four books and they were all fabulous in their own right. You have an adventure with all of them and they are all four captivating. With this box set Her Tycoon was the book I am reviewing right now. Mason and Ella have an insta-love type of connection. It shocks the both of them. Mason is a billionaire who knows he is missing something in his life but has no idea what until he meets Ella. She is a single mother to a young boy and is struggling to make ends meet. Mason and Ella meet by chance thanks to Ella's sister. They have a falling out one day when Mason disciplines Ella's son and she does not agree with it. She then calls off their relationship and Mason is devastated. Once Mason realizes his mistake he tries apologizing to Ella, but she is not as quick to forgive as Mason had hoped. Will Mason be able to win Ella and her son back into his life? Will they be able to have a lasting relationship full of love and commitment? One click this wonderful box-set and see what an incredible author R.R. Banks really its! You will not be disappointed!!

Major O: A wonderful second chance romance. Caleb and Abby are great characters with incredible chemistry and a strong connection. You get action, drama, suspense and really hot sex scenes!!
Saving Her: I love this story by RR Banks. It pulled me in right from the beginning and kept me hooked all the way through to the end. It's emotional, suspenseful, intense, and hot! Wonderful storyline and great characters. Eric and Calee are great together with incredible chemistry. You don't want to miss this spectacular read!
Her Hunk: Another spectacular book by R.R. Banks. There is non stop action that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Mix that with great characters and hot & steamy scenes and you've got a wonderful book you don't want to miss out on,
Her Tycoon: Another wonderfully hot & steamy story to round out this great collection. Mason is a playboy and Ella is a single mom. They have incredible sparks but can Ella tame the playboy?

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. These books are all full length, all super interesting "can't put down" books which means that you will be up all night long reading! Can't even take a break in between because after the first one is done, you think you have to start reading the next one to see if it is equally as good, and then you are awake for the night. I don't want to give any spoilers so I'm not going to get into the specifics for each book, but know that this author definitely does his research and each story is well thought out and worded. These stories bring out every emotion possible, which is what a good book is supposed to do. All I can say is that you will not be disappointed with this set. It is amazing!

Box sets are such a good deal. If you get a good one, you get a wonderful sampling of an author’s work, for a small price. This is a good one.

I had already read 3 of the 5 books included.
Of the two I hadn’t read-- I was a little worried about Snow White and the Seven Hunks. But, it was a great take on the fairytale and it was not nearly as wild as I was afraid it would be…. It was funny, sexy and had a wonderful happy-ever-after.

The final book, Her Tycoon-- well, Mason and Ella both had be alternately laughing and pulling my hair!

All of the books in this collection made me smile. I sneered at the villains and cheered on the heroes.
Bottom line: A great collection! 5 stars

Major O (marvelous); Saving Her (fantastic); Snow and the 7 Hunks (outstanding); Her Hunk (incredible); and brand-new release - Her Tycoon. I’ve previously read the first books individually and they were all 5 star reads.
Her Tycoon was a wonderful romance about Ella and Mason. They overcame similar loses from their past to build a future together, rocky road included. Ella’s son, Edmond, and her sister Molly, were beautiful secondary characters. The story was fun, romantic, sexy, and entertaining. Another brilliant story by R.R. Banks.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. It isn't a secret that I am a huge fan of R. R. Banks, and this set brings together some of my favorites. There is also a new story, which has been added to that list. Each story has wonderful characters that are well developed and complex. The women are strong and the men are serious alpha-types, and their chemistry is hot while the romance is sweet. Reading the stories will take you on an emotional roller coaster. The stories move at a quick pace without feeling rushed, which is something I really appreciate. This one definitely deserves more than a 5 star rating!

I had previously read 4 of the 5 books on this set. Major O amd Saving Her are stand alone books. One of my favorite books by this author is Saving Her. Snow and the 7 Hunks and Her Hunk have characters that appear in both stories. It is always fun to revisit characters as the story expands into its own book. Her Tycoon is a new addition. All of the books are worth reading. They are full of suspense and hot steamy sex. Banks never disappoints with character development, plot and bringing the story to an end by use of an epilogue. Looking forward to more from this author.

The stories shared in this book leave a lot to be desired, they're enticing, exploratory, incorporate danger and a sense of valor. I liked that some of the characters had to do some soul searching themselves.

From fairy tale, second Chance, finding love again to hero romance. I loved that this set wasn't all same but different characters. The writing flows smoothly, was paced just right to keep my interest and had steamy scenes. The character and storyline development was complete and intriguing again used to keep the interest of the reader to the end of each story. A definite one click in my opinion.
