Rate this book
I’m sleeping with someone who doesn’t recognize me from our past.
And who also doesn’t know I’m having his baby in the future.


I’ve been crushing on Nick since high school.
Back then, he was the popular jock and I was his nerdy tutor.
Now he’s a star athlete and I run into him again on campus.
He loves my curvy, hourglass figure.
But he doesn’t even know I’m the same girl.
One thing leads to another, and I find myself in his arms.
And in his bed. And he finds himself in my panties.
Then I find myself pregnant, with his baby.

How am I ever going to tell him two secrets at once?

This is a fabulous collection of three stories b y Eva Luxe and Juliana Conners who are both top USA best selling authors that I really enjoy reading their stories.  In their own right, they are terrific authors but together they are unstoppable!  I strongly urge you to try this collection  as I found them all to be very entertaining and HOT! My individual reviews of each story are below:

Don't Come Round Here :- A Second Chance Of Love - 25 January 2018 - Verified purchase - This is the newest in the "Don't" series by Eva Luxe and Juliana Conners.  I have enjoyed reading books written by this pairing of terrific authors before and I enjoy their writing styles that complement one another and make for flowing stories that transport you to the worlds of the characters in the book and their descriptions are so well defined that I can almost 'picture' what they look like and their personalities within the books.  In this one, we meet Brad and Carly. who were high school sweethearts and very much in love until her father went ballistic and dragged Carly form Brad and his mum's home. I'm just surprised that they didn't call the police on the man as he wasn't behaving rationally. Anyway, because of her father's threats they have to keep away from each other.  he goes off and becomes has a very successful sporting career which is what he wanted and Carly goes to college.  Six years go by and they both happen to be in town at the same time. As soon as they see each other, they realise that their feelings haven't changed and they are now mature enough to 'fight' for their love. But to make their romance easier they keep it low key. However, the press find out that Brad is home and they camp outside his home.  What's now going to happen to their possible HEA?  I did like how Brad wasn't just a womanising jock and he took responsibility for himself and his actions and was ready to prove to Carly how deep his love for her is and how he will do anything to give them a chance at happiness. There is plenty of hot sizzling intimate scenes that you will need to have your fans at the ready to switch to maximum force as they are STEAMING!

Don't Walk Away :- Maturity   15 March 2018 : This is the latest story by Eva Luxe and Juliana Conners. They are both fabulous writers on their own behalf, but together they're unbeatable!  In this story, we meet Kyle [who comes off as a petulant brat] and Maya. Now Kyle is a twin and his twin is Kira who Maya's brother, Jacob, is in love with.  The story starts when they are at college and Kyle is outraged that Jacob is picked out to go pro with the Sharks but Kyle wasn't.  He is so mad that he breaks up with Maya, and stops being friends with Jacob who has been his best friend for  along time. Kyle just can't get over himself which made me not really like him particularly - he certainly isn't very mature and needs a reality check on how good he really is!  Anyway, time passes and Jacob gets him to come watch him practice and that's when he sees Maya again as she is cheer leading for the team.  But things aren't always as smooth as they seem.  Maya has a stalker.  Eventually there is a happy ending and Kyle has grown up and realised that he doesn't just get everything handed on a plate to him. He and Maya [once he's changed] are really good for each other and I loved the storyline which is just that bit different to similar college stories that I've read. The characters are great and well developed [or in Kyles case become].  I did enjoy this story though I don't know what happened to the stalk? Please let me know. I strongly encourage you to get your own copy of this and enjoy!


Don't Worry Baby: - Ugly Duckling To Swan  29 April 2018 - Hailey was what some would call a nerd in high school wearing glasses, overweight and not conventionally beautiful.  She is asked to help tutor Nick who is the hottest guy in school and a jock - who she also has a major crush on but he doesn't even notice her. After high school he goes on to play for the Miami Sharks football team and is very successful and it is at a party of his team mates that he meets a stunning young woman .  Little does he realise that this young woman is Hailey - all grown up and a beauty for all to see. She is still insecure and doesn't tell him who she is since he hasn't recognised her. They go on a date and it is fantastic and the chemistry is so HOT between them that they have sex and he takes her v-card.  When she then tells him who she is, he freaks out and thinks that she is stalking him!  So she avoids him and he realises that he's been a major fool.  All seems to be going well for them when she realises something that will change their lives forever. But, bearing in mind his reaction to finding out her real name she is scared to tell him her secret!  This is Eva Luxe and Juliana Conners continuing to be a fantastic author duo and giving us another story of the Miami Sharks football team stories.  I love these two authors on their own but writing together, they are unbeatable.  I loved Hailey and thought she was such a nice young woman who really didn't need all the insecurities that she had.  Nick, however, was an immature and often arrogant jerk who needed to be taken down a peg or two and appreciate the good in those around him!!  By the end of the story - yes, I did like him though I still thought that Hailey could have done so much better for herself. I do encourage you to get a copy for yourself so that you can find out what Nick will do when he finds out Hailey's secret, will they get their own HEA or are they doomed to not be together??

I received a reader's copy of this book and voluntarily leave my honest opinion of it here.

Definitely Recommended - a fantastic set of stories!

I absolutely loved this boxed set featuring three recent books by Ms Luxe and Ms Conners. Along with a bonus book looking at was has happened since the books ended. The bonus book Don't Let Me Go was a wonderful read that gives you a peak into Brad, Carly, Maya, Kyle, Hailey and Nick's lives before the new season of the Sharks team gets underway. All three couples are dealing with issues in their personal lives and are learning to find a solution and still loving one another. My reviews of the individual books are below:

Don't Come Around Here

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. I really enjoyed this latest book in the "Don't" series by Ms Luxe and Ms Conners. This story is about Brad, a member of the Miami Sharks football team and Carly his high school love. Brad and Carly met and fell in love in high school. They choose to keep it a secret because Carly's father is very overprotective and does not want her dating until she has graduated from college. One day Carly's dad discovers that they have been seeing each other when he comes to Brad's house and takes Carly mom. Brad is unable to fight for Carly because of the threat her dad poses. Carly and Brad must stay away and go their separate ways. Years later the two happen to come back to their hometown and begin to see one another again. This time both are able to fight for their love. They run into problems with the press who has found out Brad is home and have camped out in front of his mom's house. Carly has a hard time with what the press has written about them and is not sure if she is up to the challenge that Brad's includes. This is a very will written book. I loved how the two of them were able to meet again and realize they never stopped loving one another and what they had was meant to be. I really enjoy the stories of the men of the Miami Sharks football team and the women they love. Absolutely wonderful HEA!

Don't Walk Away

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. Another great book to add to the "Don't" series! This book is about Kyle and Maya. We met Kyle in the book about Jacob and Kina. He is Kina's twin and was at one time Jacob's best friend. Maya ad Kyle were a couple when Kyle and Jacob played college football and he was hoping to go pro along with Jacob. That did not happen for him and he went into a tailspin breaking it off with Maya and feeling bitter towards Jacob. Years later and Kyle is no longer friends with Jacob and has cleaned up his act of drinking all the time and not really focusing on anything but himself and what he feels he lost out on. Maya has been trying to get over Kyle after he broke it off with her and has finished school and is now part of the cheer team for the Sharks football team Jacob plays for. Maya and Kyle meet again when Kyle comes to Jacob's practice. He has been trying to mend fences with Kyle. Kyle and Maya realize they still have feelings for one another and Kyle is determined to not let Maya get away a second time. This was a great story and I love how Kyle will do whatever it takes to not only win her back but to protect her from an unwanted stalker. I loved how they were able to reconnect and find the HEA they have always wanted with one another. Looking forward to more books in the series from this wonderful writing team!

Don't Worry Baby

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. I really enjoyed this book. I was so glad to see that Nick was also given a story! I loved the fact that he and Hailey meet again and are able to reconnect and get the second chance they both want. The characters were well written and had a lot of chemistry. I was hooked from the very beginning Amazing story and wonderful writing! All characters are three-dimensional and believable. The storyline is intense, it's gripping in the best sense of the word. This book is great, a must-read. The author is one of my favorites and I look forward to more books by her. I loved the HEA!

I enjoyed all these books by Eva and the bonce books about what life is like after there stories!! Drama!! Love and some tears...


Don't come around here- Brad & Carly
Brad and Carly met and fell in love in high school. They choose to keep it a secret because Carly's father is very overprotective and does not want her dating until she has graduated from college. One day Carly's dad discovers that they have been seeing each other. Having to stay away from one another...

6 years later they come back to there home town sparks fly and they reconnect with one another not wanting to lose each other again.

Shall Carly's father cause more problems? Or shall Brads football fandom cause problems for the couple?!?!

Don't Walk Away- Maya and Kyle
This happens to not be my most favourites story...kyle is well bratty and wants things handed to him on a platter..his best friend Jacob gets picked to go pro and Kyle isn't which causes a small break up in their friendship but since Kira Kyle's twin is married to his ex best Friend he's stuck with that bitterness...he also broke up with Maya.. talk about bratty..

Maya and him meeting again was cute and I enjoyed it.. but every time Kyle would get mad about football.. it turned me blah.. like that's all he cared about was he didnt make it.. being a jerk to everyone..

Maya also has a problem she has a stalker.. a creepy one who kept getting her info (like wtf cops) she and Kyle start a relationship fake one but those feeling are very real..
But i did dislike Kyle taking forever to finally say hey maybe I'm wrong with being this petty and bratty...

Don't Worry, baby Nick and Hailey
Hailey was a nerd in high school glasses overweight and not beautiful (in her mind). She was asked to help tutor Nick who is the hottest guy in school and a jock - who she also has a major crush on but like everyone else in the school he doesn't notice her... He makes it to the pros!! Playing for the Sharks and he meets Hailey at Brads Get together.. Hailey turned into a gorge amazing (she was amazing already) woman!! Instead of telling him who she was she kept it to herself still feeling insecure. They go on few dates they have a great time she loses her virginity to him.. but she knows she can't keep this secret so she tells him the truth... his reaction is not great....

Can Nick man up and say he was wrong? is Hailey keeping another secret? can they work this out and have a happy ending??

The Bonus stuff
Don't let me go-
Carly and Brad- They have been going strong having kids. But a new team wants Brad.. He thought about the offer he just didn't tell his wife.. she doesn't want to leave she loves the team and her friends and what they build there.. They have there fight.. until Brad realise she's right this team is family..

Maya and Kyle- there bonus chapters include Kyle a Sharks Coordinator and Maya is now his wife!! there drama is well kids Kyle wants kids Maya doesn't..at least right now.. but Kyle misunderstands her in not wanting kids at all.. they have a fight.. he thinks there relationship is done.. but they talk and work things out..

Nick and Hailey- Its been 2 years since we last saw them now baby Brittany is 2 adorbs as always. Hailey's dad is sick he's dying and she wants to spend as much time with her dad before he dies.. Nick was being tiny bit selfish in wanting his wife at his games.. (bad move dude) poor haliey but they fight and try to work on what to do..

Don't Come Around Here- Brad and Carly were high school sweethearts and were so in love. They kept their relationship secret due to her father, and when they are caught together, her father takes her home and Brad stayed away from her so she wouldn't get in more trouble. Six years later and they are both back home visiting their parents. Brad is a professional football player and Carly just has a few more months of college until she gets her MBA. Carly isn't sure if she wants to start up with Brad again, but Brad wants Carly back and is willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. They still have a connection like before and their chemistry is off the charts hot. During the six years apart they never forgot about each other and their attraction to each other is stronger than before. Will they be able to have a relationship with each other or will her father and Brad's fans get in the way?
Don't Walk Away- Kyle and Maya haven't seen each other for a few years since Kyle broke up with her. Neither have forgotten each other or stopped loving each other. Kyle has been bitter and jealous ever since his best friend went pro and he didn't. Kyle and Maya run into each other after her cheerleading practice and realize the connection they had never left. When Kyle asks her out, Maya is thrilled. When Maya's ex takes his stalking up a notch, Kyle steps up to help her and keep her safe. Will they get their second chance, or will Kyle's jealousy get in the way? This has a little suspense, drama, and second chances.
Don't Worry Baby- Hailey is visiting her best friend Carly and her boyfriend Brad. Nick is trying to get a starting position on the Sharks football team. They knew each other in high school when Hailey tutored Nick and had a huge crush on him. When they meet, Nick doesn't recognize her, because she has changed since then. She doesn't want to tell Nick, but what will happen when she does? These two have such a strong connection and the attraction between them was instantaneous.
Don't Let Me Go- This is a bonus novella that shows what is happening two years later. Hopefully you will fall in love with these couples like I have. Get this box set so you don't miss out on some great stories with hot alphas and the women who love them.

Don't Come Around Here****
Very good; high school sweethearts get a second chance at love. I like that his character was very down to earth and willing to chase her. Although their lifestyles are miles apart, if you really love someone, you are willing to sacrifice and compromise. He is courageous and she is skittish, their second chance has a whole new level of trials but what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger...

Don't Walk Away***
This is interesting enough. It was weird that the main drama seemed to just drop. I didn't like Kyle at all, he was just too bitter and immature. Maya was definitely blindly in love with him, lol. His sister & her husband are tenacious & had much more patience than I could even imagine having.

Don't Worry Baby****
I think Hailey was way to easy on Nick considering that he was a real jerk to her. She did drag the secret on a little too long, but to me the secret really wasn't all that big of a deal. I really wanted her make him work for it, lol but Hailey is a much more forgiving character. His reaction just struck a nerve with me (obviously), it just was so dramatic and public....unlike his apology. Their story did suck me in and was definitely emotionally engaging with great supporting characters.

Don't Let Me Go*****
This novella brings everything together and digs a little deeper into the relationship of each of the couples as they are still learning about one another they realize that love is the easy part, communication and compromise add the turbulence, lol.

I was lucky enough to read all of the books in this collection as they were released, with the exception of Don’t Let Me Go, which I read as part of this box set. So my review, though similar will include an overall review for the collection and a separate one for the novella.
Don’t Let Me Go is sort of a wrap up book that included characters from the other books in the set. It’s like an extended epilogues for each set of couple all rolled into one book. Needless to say a lot of emotion was packed into this novella! It’s like the perfect bow topping off a wonderful gift.
The set itself is amazing! Great characters in all of them, flawed and all. Their individual stories are passionate, sexy and emotional. Can’t go wrong with this set!
I received this set for a voluntary, completely honest and non incentivized review.

Eva and Juliana have written some of the best sports stories and put them into this box set. Book one is about high school sweethearts who are separated by her father for six years. Book two is about college sweethearts who are torn apart when he fails to get called up to the pros and he cuts himself off from everyone he cares about for two years. Book three is about a woman who was overweight, wore braces and overlooked by everyone during high school. She became a beautiful woman and when she went to Miami to visit her friend and was reintroduced to her high school crush. Each couple have to overcome many obstacles in their lives. The fourth book shows how everything is going with each couple later in their lives. I highly recommend every one of them. I reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this box set.

What a great box set! Juliana Conners and Eva Luxe put together a few of their books from the South Beach Bad Boys series and gave it to us in a box set. Even better? They threw in a bones novella centering around the three couples whose books are in the set. We get to see what they have been up to and go through a series of troubles and use their love to soothe them out. A great novella. If you have already read the books, still get the set! Worth reading a second time around, I promise! I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

Unlike the first box set, these 3 stories were actually really good and at the standard I would expect from Eva Luxe & Juliana Conners. The females were not b!tches & the males not down right annoying. My only question to the authors: who's Liam? Nick mentions him as part of the Sharks about 4x throughout the book, but as far as I can remember, he wasn't in previous books. Could the authors not have mentioned 1 of the other 3 players previously written about? Was just a little random. Did I miss a novel in between these box sets?

A great collection of interconnected stories about a group of friends. Each couple get their own book about the way their relationships started and the bonus book sees them in the future having problems that we might deal with like wanting children, a dying parent and moving away. I really enjoyed this collection.

This entire boxset contains characters who are or will be connected to the Florida Sharks football team in Miami. Each book can be read independently but to get the full benefit of the camaraderie amongst the players and their girlfriends/wives should be read in order. The storylines are filled with all the angst, love, passion you would expect in an Eva Luxe book so you won't be disappointed.

Eva Luxe and Juliana Conners writes steamy and engrossing romances filled with thrilling moments and enjoyable characters you'll fall in love with instantly. And this box set, containing four stories from the South Beach Bad Boys series, is no exception.

Don’t Come Around Here
This is a sweet, heartfelt and engrossing romance with deep love, enjoyable characters and an intriguing storyline.
They were secret highschool sweetheart that lost touch after the heroine's father told the hero "Don't come around here!". Now six years later they meet again. Will they get a second chance?

Don’t Walk Away
This is an intriguing read filled with thrilling moments, interesting dialog and enjoyable characters that display their feelings and let their insecurities shine through.
It is slow paced at some point, and not as steamy as this author has written in the past. But the protagonists struggles feels real and the HEA is well deserved.

Don’t Worry, Baby
This is an entertaining and intriguing story filled with thrilling moments and enjoyable characters.
You'll love Hailey and Nick's second chance romance.

Don't Let Me Go
In this story we get to read about Carly and Brad, Maya and Kyle and Hailey and Nick.
