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 boxed set showcases some of the very talented R.R. Banks' earlier works and is a great introduction point if you arent already acquainted with his imaginative tales and unique, incredibly funny story weaving. For fans who might have read some of these books already, the never before released Her Tycoon is included and very much worth a read! Besides, even if you have read one or more of these beautiful stories, is it really possible to ever reread a classic too many times? I dont think so.

The set includes Major O, a second chance romance about star-crossed lovers who find a chance to rekindle what they lost when they return back to their homes in the small town they both left. It has drama, steam, action, and will pull on your heartstrings.

Saving Her is an action filled romance! When a pregnant cult escapee is on the run from cult enforcers a weary former military medic/current surgeon plays knight in shining armor and helps the girl get to freedom. Feelings develop between them before the unthinkable happens, causing the surgeon to stage maybe the most epic rescue ever. You will be hit with the feels as you hang off the edge of your seat!

Snow and the 7 Hunks is undoubtedly the hottest modern retelling of a classic fairy tale ever. Hands down. When Snow's boss marries her evil arch nemesis Snow is forced to take a leave of absence from the job she holds dear. While on leave she goes on a journey of self discovery that is as full of imagination as it is eroticism, culminating not only in a deeper understanding of herself, but also leading to true love. This story is a personal favourite, and I think it could be yours, too.

Her Hunk is the stellar and dramatic sequel to Snow that centers on other lovable and memorable characters and shows us that true love conquers all in this May/December romance where the woman is older than the hunk.

Wrapping up this wonderful set is the aforementioned and never before released Her Tycoon. In this new book we get to watch two people from different walks of life, but with more in common than they realize, connect and help each other heal and learn to fully live, and love, again.

Every single book in this boxed set is incredible and so very worth reading. Each adventure-filled, original, steamy tale will draw you in, hold you, and you wont want to be released. This is definitely a ten star read and I cant encourage you enough to try for yourself!

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.

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.

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!

A Hot, Steamy Bundle Of Romances!
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. We have a real treat here of five books by R.R. Banks. The first being :
Major 'O' - First of all, I need to confess that R.R.Banks is one of my favourite authors. Her stories are always just that little bit "different" but with always gorgeous heroes and heroines that positively human "combust" with the chemistry when they meet. her characters in this story, Abby and Caleb, are very likeable and are given their second chance at their own HEA. The dialogue is fast paced and witty and you can see why they are so attracted to one another.
Saving Her - This is a fantastic
read that deals with some very sensitive issues but it is beautifully written by RR as anyone who has read his books before will appreciate. What is so special about this book? The way the basic outline of the story unfolds the reader might think it's going to be relatively straight forward, but, oh no, RR has delighted us with some twists and turns that certainly surprised me and made the tension in the story buzzing. It surrounds a young woman called Calee who has had a simply dreadful life and wants to break free from the cult that her junkie parents sold her to. She does have some help and her hopes rise then she seems to be even worse off than she was before. She is given unexpected help from one of the last persons she would expect but she accepts gratefully and this leads to her meeting Eric. He is an ex-military surgeon who is now in private practice but with his own demons. beneath his hard shell there is a kind and caring man and when he sees Calee, obviously in difficulties, he knows that he must help her in any way he can. This, is where the real excitement begins. I was completely caught up in the story and whilst it did seem as if they had got away form the cult leader's henchmen, there is worse to come and it is only with the feelings between the two of them that have developed over the weeks together that Eric displays his determination to do everything to save Calee and all the other women from inhumane abuse. The last few chapters were so gripping and descriptive that I could almost see it playing out in my mind as I absorbed every word.

Snow and the 7 Hunks - Switch on the fans. Lock the doors and turn off your phones! This re-telling of a fairy tale is going to heat you up. R.R. Banks always delivers a great book but he has surpassed himself with this re-telling of Snow White. Oodles of steamy, hot scenes with a damsel in distress and hunky heros to save the day. I was absorbed from the first to the last page and then wanting the next book.undoubtedly the best re-telling of a fairy tale this year. Definitely recommended!! I was fortunate to recive an arc of this book and voluntarily leave my honest review of it here.
Her Hunk -
Eleanor has not had the easiest nor the life that she anticipated. Her vile ex, Victor, deserves everything that happens to him but you have to wait a while for it to happen, but it is so well worth the wait. R.R.Banks has outdone himself in Boy Toy. In penning this story about a beautiful strong minded woman who will fight, now, for what she wants and the absolutely delicious, Hunter, that will make your heart palpitate. He slowly seduces her so that she completely forgets that she is so much older in years on Earth than him and instead she concentrate on how he makes her feel. Oh boy, that feeling makes her melt. he is so sweet and slightly nerdy with his black glasses on and slight awkwardness at times. But when he takes off his shirt Eleanor forgets everything but him and what they can do for each other. He seems the perfect man to be stranded on a deserted island to me. Those are the things that I loved about this book and there is absolutely nothing that I didn't like. This is the first book thast I've read where the hero was significantly younger than the heroine, but love makes nothing else matter and R.R. Banks wove this throughout the story and love conquered all. I received an arc of this book and voluntarily leave my honest review of it here.
P.S. I also liked the way Gavin made a surprise sighting at the end.

Her Tycoon - This is an entirely new book and it is another fast paced, page turner of a story that you will be hooked on it and won't want to put it down! In this one we meet Mason, who is really not what I would classify as hero material at all;. In fact, he drives me nuts. However, when he meets Ella and her adorable little boy you can just tell that he is redeemable. Ella is one feisty heroine who won't put up with Mason and he wants her badly. It's time that he man ups if he wants the woman that he needs just like he needs his next breath! A great novella that I read in one go and will be reading again as it's so good!!!

This is an excellent selection of really good stories with hot and steamy romance by R.R. Banks and I encourage you to get a copy for yourself as it is so good.
DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this boxset
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!

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

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!

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 voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This box set is fantastic and brilliant that you NEED to READ! From the very first page, I was spellbound by these fantastically described characters that you will find yourself falling in love with and some you will hate. I really enjoyed reading these books and the momentum of the stories keeps you wanting to read more that you can’t put them down! You get something different from each book—a bad boy military alpha, a twist of fantasy—dirty fairy tale, second chance, suspense, and a secret baby romance.

MAJOR O, Caleb is so freaking sexy but the story will make you laugh but it is a beautiful story of second chances that was so well done. This book maybe fiction, but the storyline can be related to true-life situations and you will want to keep reading to find out what happened. When reading the story, it may make you feel sad, confused, appalled, and even euphoric.
SAVING HER is a thrilling and suspenseful story with lots of action about two battered souls who find love. They each have their imperfections to deal with but their journey makes them realize that they can overcome anything and any impediments. This story will have you on the edge of your seat. There is lot of sizzling sex that is hot!
With SNOW AND THE 7 HUNKS, this is a different twist than the classic fairy tale story you are familiar with, Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs, but there are no dwarfs—just handsome, sexy HUNKS, and I mean Hunks!! There's lots of raw unfettered sex in here though, so be warned. If you like your romances with a dose of risqué and erotic with a pinch of sweetness, you’ll love SNOW AND THE 7 HUNKS.
HER HUNK, this was thrilling, dynamic, and a suspenseful romance story that will also have you on the edge of your seat. If you like hot and steamy passion, scorching hot intimate scenes that are awe-inspiring, then this book is for you. There are several twists and turns within the storyline with suspense, kidnapping, sex, sex—did I say SEX that is off-the-chart hot, and intrigue that makes it very interesting and compelling.
HER TYCOON is a sweet romance of an alpha billionaire, Mason Dupree, who woos a single mother, Ella, but encounters problems when he chastise her son—he soon finds out what the saying means by a ‘mother’s wrath’ where the mother has gone into “moma bear mode’ and will do anything to protect her child. Will Masson be able to redeem himself with Ella or will this be the end of their relationship?

The scenes are well written, fast-paced and flow smoothly from one scene to the next. These stories will pique your interest and draw you in from the beginning to the very end.

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.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I loved it so much, I bought it, too.

This boxed set showcases some of the very talented R.R. Banks' earlier works and is a great introduction point if you arent already acquainted with his imaginative tales and unique, incredibly funny story weaving. For fans who might have read some of these books already, the never before released Her Tycoon is included and very much worth a read! Besides, even if you have read one or more of these beautiful stories, is it really possible to ever reread a classic too many times? I dont think so.

The set includes Major O, a second chance romance about star-crossed lovers who find a chance to rekindle what they lost when they return back to their homes in the small town they both left. It has drama, steam, action, and will pull on your heartstrings.

Saving Her is an action filled romance! When a pregnant cult escapee is on the run from cult enforcers a weary former military medic/current surgeon plays knight in shining armor and helps the girl get to freedom. Feelings develop between them before the unthinkable happens, causing the surgeon to stage maybe the most epic rescue ever. You will be hit with the feels as you hang off the edge of your seat!

Snow and the 7 Hunks is undoubtedly the hottest modern retelling of a classic fairy tale ever. Hands down. When Snow's boss marries her evil arch nemesis Snow is forced to take a leave of absence from the job she holds dear. While on leave she goes on a journey of self discovery that is as full of imagination as it is eroticism, culminating not only in a deeper understanding of herself, but also leading to true love. This story is a personal favourite, and I think it could be yours, too.

Her Hunk is the stellar and dramatic sequel to Snow that centers on other lovable and memorable characters and shows us that true love conquers all in this May/December romance where the woman is older than the hunk.

Wrapping up this wonderful set is the aforementioned and never before released Her Tycoon. In this new book we get to watch two people from different walks of life, but with more in common than they realize, connect and help each other heal and learn to fully live, and love, again.

Every single book in this boxed set is incredible and so very worth reading. Each adventure-filled, original, steamy tale will draw you in, hold you, and you wont want to be released. This is definitely a ten star read and I cant encourage you enough to try for yourself!

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

This is a fantastic collection of novels by RR Banks. The first book is Major O, a second chance romance. Abby & Caleb were young when they were together, and now that Caleb has returned to Sheridan Falls for the first time in years, he's going to make it right. I found this read intense and sexy, with a hefty dose of action and danger. Given Caleb's actions as a young man, I liked the way he has grown into a man to be proud of. Abby finds the strength to try again, and again, even though it is tough for her emotionally. Loved their HEA.

Saving Her was a completely different kind of read. Mr Banks sets up the meeting of the two main characters very carefully. There is a lot of action in this one, too, but the way the Calee and Eric fit like two puzzle pieces was really well done, given their very different upbringings. Calee shows time & again how smart & strong she is, and despite her circumstances, the author has presented her in a way that you don't feel sorry for her, you cheer her on. Eric's introspection about his character was beautiful to watch, and the author is very skilled in giving emotional depth and growth to his characters. Excellent writing, slow build, fast-paced, emotional read.

Her Hunk: I knew this book has a fairytale-type theme to it, so I wasn't sure what to expect. This book is jam packed with an action filled plot, lots of memorable characters (and now I have to read the previous book about Snow and Noah because this one was so awesome!), a few villains, and lots of family, friends, and love. Eleanor is a strong, feisty woman 15 years older than brainiac Hunter. Eleanor wants a bit of anonymity because she‘s had some bad experiences, being a billionaire & ex-wife of a crime lord. Hunter comes with his own issues-he is a quiet geek that tends to get overlooked. I really enjoyed the change of older woman, younger inexperienced man. My favourite part of the book: when Eleanor lost the plot & let out an impressive string of curses! Totally enjoyed this book!

Her Tycoon: gah! This one has me all melty. Mason and Ella have known heartbreak and neither think they will find love again. They are drawn to each other and I so enjoyed their journey to love. Perfect, sweet, lovely ending.

Mr Banks writes beautiful, deep, emotional, love stories and does it well. This is a collection of books which I would highly recommend.

I received an arc of this book and have voluntarily reviewed it.

Major O:
I just loved this book as it had both Abby and Caleb with vulnerabilities and you got to see how they both overcame them and find out the truth. The fact we got a great back story while reading was great as you could relate to the Abby and Caleb more and really feel for them as well as get to know the other characters around them. You really can't beat a book that has suspense, drama, intrigue and of course a HEA!

Saving Her:
This book had a great pace and I liked how Calee and Eric didn't jump in the sack straight away it built up to that as you would expect after what Calee had been through and was dealing with. The whole story line had me glued to the book and had to know what was going to happen next and even I was lulled into a false sense of security while reading. Definitely a park your bum and get comfy read!

Snow and the 7 Hunks:
This was a great hot and steamy re telling of Snow White, the characters were great and you couldn't help but love them ... well apart from Lucille anyway lol. I thought Robin was a great best friend to Snow and he enabled her to really find herself by going to the Enchanted Forest for an experience of a lifetime. This has a great mix of flushed cheeked and LOL moments along with some great twists and an awesome HEA.

Her Hunk:
R.R. Banks has done another great job, I love how this linked into Snow and the 7 Hunks by being set after Snow and Noah got married. This is Hunters story .. you know the hot assistant for the other book, the really delicious and lovely sounding guy. I really like getting to know Hunter more and how he meets Eleanor the sexy older lady. Eleanor has the worst luck since escaping from her ex, however he seems to be able to track her down anywhere. Just when she though things were bad enough on the cruise ship but now .... yeah good luck with that. This had a good mix of sexyness, a good lotta hot n heavy, a bit of suspense and intrigue on what will happen next! I hope we get to see Gavin again and I wouldn't mind good old Edwin turning up too.

Her Tycoon:
It's love at first site for Mason and Ella, as well as some great sexy time to satisfy their itches however their lives are polar apart but that doesn't mean there can be away. I really liked how they both had pasts that stood in their way but could also help them both see they can move on from their pasts.

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.

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

I have so far read only two of the stories contained in this set. I enjoyed them though and am looking forward to the other books in the collection, particularly Snow and the Seven Hunks and Major O, wanted to read them for a long time.

Her Hunk - Story told from multiple viewpoints, though the main character is Eleanor, aunt of Noah from Snow and the Seven Hunks. She's looking only for anonymity and a good time when she meets Snow and Noah's coworker Hunter at their reception. He initially seems receptive to her advances but ultimately rejects her. Eleanor is then forced to run from her past and Hunter ends up running with her and one thing leads to another and they end up shipwrecked on a deserted island. Eleanor and Hunter (along with Gavin, long story) try to build shelter on the island to protect them from the elements while they wait for rescue.

This story is technically a sequel but can be read without having read Snow. The storyline is good with many twists and turns. I felt it got a little boring at times from lack of dialogue but an abundance of narration. However, still a great read. Would recommend. I read an ARC of this story and am voluntarily reviewing.

Saving Her - Saving Her tells the stories of Calee and Eric. Calee is in a Branch Davidian expy cult. She manages to escape one night and makes her way to Colorado (from Montana.) While trying to figure out her next move, she meets Eric Galloway, a doctor and erstwhile Army medic, who is in CO to visit a friend who doesn't have much time left. When Eric meets Calee, he's inexplicably drawn to her. He makes it his mission to help her, vowing to leave her without knowing she's safe.

This story is not about a very happy subject and some parts weren't particularly to my liking. The sexytimes scenes also seemed very repetitive (and therefore boring and a little frustrating.) However, it's still a great read by a talented author and you'd find it well worth the time to find out how he Saves Her.

I read an ARC of this story and am voluntarily reviewing.

What a phenomenal box set! RR Banks writes some of my favorite books and he just put together 5 in one set, each one better than the last. This is a steal of a deal not to be missed!! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.
Major O - Caleb is a former Marine sniper, now a PI, that gets called back to his hometown for a death. Abby is the girl he ghosted more than 10 years ago and she is also back in town. When these two see each other again, it sparks a chain reaction that you wouldn't believe. This book has love, heartbreak, happiness, terror and action. RR Banks takes you through a whirlwind of emotions, and don't be surprised if you shed a tear or two.  I believe it is my favorite second chance romance I have read so far this year. 
Saving Her - Wow.  RR Banks had to have dug deep for this story. A lot of this book is very dark and emotional but there is some goodness and love in there as well. I absolutley loved this book and even more is that I loved that I could feel the emotions of the two main characters.
Snow and the 7 Hunks - RR Banks just took Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs and spun it on its head anf made it so deliciously dirty!!  Old Walt would be seriously blushing!  I absolutely loved the spin on this classic fairytale. Who wouldn't want 7 men picked just for them just to make sure you were pleasured?  But even more, they were picked to help you find your true self?  That is what happens in this story. Loved seeing Snow merge find who she really is. And he did a great job finding today's version of the evil witch.
Her Hunk - This is a follow up book to Snow and the 7 Hunks about Hunter and Noah's aunt Eleanor.  Danger? Yup. Hot men? Yup. Stranded on a deserted island? Yup. Hot, panty-melting sex?  Of course!!  RR Banks brings a fantastic story with some great humor throughout without detracting from the severity of the danger that they are in.
Her Tycoon - Wow! I think this was from the 69th St Bad Boys series and if so it fits perfectly! Mason and Ella are two broken people moving through life the best they know how. When the two of them come together, it is like fireworks. A great story of passion, love and healing.

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.

R.R. Banks has a great buy in this boxed set! The first four stories are already published books with an unpublished novella added.

The first story, Major O, is about Caleb, from a small city in the Northwest and from really bad parents known as the town's drunks. His father beats on him regularly but his mother tears him down with words while breaking up marriages by being the town whore. But Caleb did his best by getting good grades, playing sports and falling in love with Abby. When the two of them went to sit by the river and talk rather than attend the school dance, Abby's father grounds her for 6 weeks and talks Caleb into getting out of town and leaving Abby alone. He joins the Marines and only tells his friend Richard where he's going. Later Richard tells Caleb that Abby has gone to school in New York and gotten married there. Caleb assumes she has the happy life her father wanted for her. Twelve years after leaving, his parents are dead and buried while he was overseas and he has been out of the military special ops for a year, he gets the call from his hometown that Richard has been killed by a drunk driver and he is wanted as pall bearer. Can he go back to the town he swore he would never step in again? Is Abby still in NY? Read this story to find out.

The last story, Her Tycoon, is about Ella, a single mother to 4 year old Edmond, meeting Mason, a billionaire living on the 57th floor of the fancy high rise across from Central Park. Ella and Edmond are living with her sister Molly, who has gotten them a side gig decorating Mason's fancy apartment for a party to introduce the new player on the pro basketball team he owns. When Ella discovers she still has the silver picture frame that belongs to Mason when she gets home, Molly convinces her to dress like one of the guests to return the frame. What do you think happens when Mason catches her returning the frame? Good reading!

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

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

This is a 4-book box set of steamy romances, with a fifth book included that has never been released before titled “Her Tycoon”. Below is a review of one of the books as an example of what you might expect in this box set.

>>> Reviewing “Snow and the 7 Hunks <<<
Robin and Snow were sitting at a table together at The Wishing Well on dessert night. Unfortunately, none of Robin’s favorite selections had been placed on the table yet. Suddenly in surprise he showed her his phone screen with the announcement that her ancient boss, Mr. Royal, had married the much younger Lucille Verne! Lucille and she had been fierce competitors all through college, graduate school, and throughout their chosen professions within advertising. And now (groan!) Lucille had married the boss!

The first change at the workplace came in the break room where their daily donuts were replaced with horrible healthy choices. As the workers gathered in the conference room, Mr. Royal told them he was retiring and going on a world tour. Their new boss, Lucille, would be taking over the business!!! This was the worst news ever for Snow!!!

Snow has no choice but to use her accumulated 3-month vacation time to get out of Lucille’s way and to find what is really important to her, what she needs in her life. The reader will absolutely love what she discovers and how she gets to that point! And the humor will keep readers chuckling throughout the story! Definitely a fun book to read! It’s certainly not the fairy tale you grew up with! Although I started off receiving a copy of this book from Booksprout, I voluntarily chose to write an honest review and I do own several of the individual books offered here.
