Six complete romance novels, perfect for anyone who loves clean and fast-paced romance. The Resilient One: Alyssa Armsworth, a world-renowned photographer, has no intentions of honoring the Billionaire Bride Pact she made at girl’s camp to avoid getting whipped cream smeared on her face while she slept. Marriage is the last thing on her to-do list and when her father forces his wealthy friends on her, she runs to Maui. Her plan to jog on the beach, take some great pictures, and avoid men works—until Beckham Taylor arrives. Spending days on the ocean with the handsome ex-NHL star is ideal, but Alyssa's guilt for past transgressions begins to consume her. She doesn’t think Beckham could ever forgive what she’s done to him and his family. Before she can confess, her misdeeds are thrust onto the front cover of the tabloids. Now, Alyssa must face her past or lose her future. The Feisty One: Can he hide his heart or will the reporter take everything? Maryn Howe isn't intimidated by billionaire recluse, Tucker Shaffer, or his enormous log cabin in Island Park, Idaho. Maryn needs this interview and she'll get it at any cost, even if the last four reporters were physically removed from his presence. Tucker Shaffer has no desire to change his less than flattering public image; but his PR people persuade him to give it one more try. Ready to make nice with whoever comes through the door, Tucker is blindsided by a petite blond with an extra-large personality. As the snow piles up and the questions keep coming, Maryn discovers the secret Tucker Shaffer has spent the last four years torturing himself with. She suddenly sees him in a new light and she flees--right into danger and into Tucker's arms. But the danger has just begun and now Maryn has to make a choice--trust in Tucker or lose it all. The Independent One: Single mom, Haley Turnbow, escapes to the tropical Isla del Sol for an ideal vacation with her five-year old. She's planning on lazy beach days, great food, and a happy kid. She doesn't plan on the resident hotel ghost stalking her and the island's fine-looking owner drawing her in with his confident, fun personality. Cal Johnson is king of his own island, happy and busy. Thoughts of a family are on the horizon, but always seem out of grasp until a beautiful mom and her wild little boy flip his world upside down. He falls in love with both of them. Realizing they're going to leave at the end of their vacation, he does everything in his power to capture Haley's heart. Haley and Cal may be able to enjoy a vacation romance, but can what they feel translate into the real world? Only a giant leap of trust will give the answer. The Protective One: Betrayed by an FBI agent while in protective custody, MacKenzie Gunthrie escapes a crime lord and is left hiding from the authorities and her enemies. She finds solace in the peaceful mountain town of Crested Butte, Colorado. With help from a longtime girl's camp friend and a new identity, she's starting to feel safe. The only problem is the overconfident and much too good-looking Isaac Turnbow. The Faithful One: Zander Keller survived a stint on reality TV and the addiction recovery center that fame forced him into, but he should never have agreed to do an undercover boss ploy to help his father. The beautiful manager of the Southern bed and breakfast makes him laugh and forget his troubles, until she tries to solve his commitment issues like every woman has since his mother’s murder. The Daring One: Summer Anderson has the perfect life—designing toys and traveling the world—until the venture capitalist company, Mumford’s Sons, helps her dad sell his toy company to the highest bidder. Summer loses her designs, her job, and her lifestyle, and is forced to work for a friend in Crested Butte, Colorado.

I loved every single one of the six novels in this collection.
They were well plotted, full of emotion, and plenty of romance. Every character came with flaws, and all the couples had hurdles to overcome before they got their HEA.
If you are looking for a series to devour, this is the one to get. You won't even crave chocolate while you read. It's that good.
As always, Ms. Checketts lives up to her reputation for writing clean, page-turning romance.
The Resilient One by Cami Checketts Rating 3 out of 5 The Resilient One is the first book of the Billionaire Bride Pact boxed set. The Billionaire Bride pact was made by a group of friends at a sleepover in middle school that they would all marry a billionaire one day or have to complete a dare.
Alyssa, being one of the girls to make this pact, was considered the long shot. Of all of the girls Alyssa had no intention of marrying a billionaire. Raised by a super wealthy father herself Alyssa learned of the darker sides of wealth and those willing to do anything to keep it. Her own father was willing to sell her to the highest bidder even at a very young age.
Beckham was a great character. He was plagued by his own guilt from the past. Add to that he trusted few people to let in to his life. Being wealthy he knew all about those that wanted to use a person for their money or prestige.
This couple was super sweet and so damaged. Alyssa was holding back on telling Beckham everything and I just knew it would come back to bite her in the butt and boy did it. Her father was the scum of the earth and truly one of the creepiest characters I've read. Granny made the book and that's saying something considering I really enjoyed Alyssa and Beckham. She was an outrageous hoot willing to do and say just about anything.
I'm really interested in reading on in this set. Each book has a different author, so it should be fun to read the different styles of writing and how each author deals with the women of this pact.
The Feisty One by Cami Checketts Rating 4 out of 5
This set just keeps getting better and better. I wasn't sure how I would like Maryn's story after reading her part in the Resilient one. Maryn was innocent in the end but I found her naked ambition a little concerning. Thank you Ms. Checketts for writing the perfect story for Maryn.
Maryn was a spitfire. She was driven and not afraid to go after her goals. But, she was not ruthless which was my initial concern. Determined to make her mark in the world Maryn was slated to interview the very private designer of a popular social media app.
Tucker is so sweet after you get to know him. He protects himself with physical as well as metaphorical walls to keep everyone out but the very few that he truly shares his life with. His PR team keeps insisting that he needs to let the world see him if he wants to continue on with his social media platform. Choosing the reporter and having her come to him seems like the best way to control everything.
I loved this couple when they finally came together and recognized their attraction. Tucker made me so sad as he dealt with the ghosts from his past but he had Maryn by his side to help. Mayrn kept her word to Tucker and helped to restore his faith in people that much more. Maryn even helped Tucker to evaluate his relationship with God and go to him for help with his past.
All in all this was a very good read. I enjoyed it very much!
The Independent One by Cami Checketts Rating 4 out of 5
4 stinking cute 5 year old boy stars.
Haley had every reason to want to crawl into a hole and just give up on life. During a night out with her childhood crush she was drugged and raped ending up in a pregnancy. We meet Haley 5 years after the fact as she is raising her little guy and doing it well. Understandably she is cautious around men and very protective of her son. Especially considering his "dad" still lives in their town and holds over her head that he can go for custody anytime he chooses. Of course since he's rich he was never held accountable for her rape in the first place.
Cal was way too sweet and perfect. He met Haley while she was on vacation with her little guy. Cal pretty much fell in love with the both of them on first sight. He never once made her feel like she had to choose between him and her son or feel like her son was cramping their style. Knowing her independent streak and sensing her discomfort with money he didn't admit how truly wealthy he was which caused a bit of strain for a short while but nothing they couldn't move past.
I really am enjoying these books of the Billionaire Bride Pact series.
The Protective One by Cami Checketts Rating 3 out of 5
MacKenzie witnessed a man being tortured and then killed while hiding behind a dumpster. She did what anyone would do in this situation she called 911. Unfortunately, this put MacKenzie in the cross hairs of a notorious crime boss. After failed protection by the FBI MacKenzie went to hide at her friend's place in Colorado. In doing so MacKenzie not only put Haley and her family in danger but she found that the feelings she had for Haley's brother way back when were still as strong as ever if only he wasn't such a jerk all of the time.
Isaac had the hots for MacKenzie big time when they were younger. But, he was always saying the wrong thing around her. She made him so nervous and it just came out. Now that she's back in town Isaac could see that something was going on with MacKenzie but before he could figure that out he had to find a way to convince Haley that he isn't the jerk he always comes across as.
I like Isaac and Haley together, but they are by no means my favorite of this series. I feel like a lot of the miscommunication could have been cleared up simply by Isaac explaining that Haley brought the stupid out in him because he was so taken with her. He had no problems being honest with her and flirting with her the rest of the time so why not just open up. The ending seemed to wrap up really quick, but not so much so that the story wasn't enjoyable.
The Faithful One by Cami Checketts Rating 4 out of 5
I really enjoy Cami Checketts' books. They have such a sweet undertone that just makes you feel good. The Faithful One was no different.
Zander had so many demons that he worked so hard to overcome. His story was truly a sad one. He thought he had come out on the other side only to find that everyone kept telling him that he had more work to put in.
Trin had issues she didn't even realize she had. She was a hard worker that was determined to keep her grandparent's bed and breakfast afloat even now that it had been sold to outside person.
Trin and Zander truly helped each other. She helped him to recognize the help he needed to truly get over his mom's death. Yeah he was angry at first but her nudging helped in the end. In turn, Zander pointed out to her that she was afraid to leave her sanctuary and experience life. They were so good together even though there were times when they angered the other a ton.
Moriah was a fantastic character. She may have stole the whole book even if she was a peripheral character. I would love to read more about her and see her get her happy ever after.
The Daring One by Cami Checketts Rating 3 out of 5
The Daring One was a great wrap up to the Billionaire Pact books written by Cami Checketts.
I loved everything about Chance Judd. He had tons of patience and wasn't afraid to go for what he wanted. Even when Summer repeatedly shot him down he stayed the course. His brother was a bit of a tough one for me. I feel like I need to read his story to really get a clear picture of him but in this book he irritated me more often than not. I almost felt sorry for Chance having to deal with all that was surrounding him. He seemed like such a nice guy.
Summer was a strong woman that had her life in front of her only to have it all shift and tear away. I understand she was a bit bitter about being let go from her position as a toy maker after her father sold the company and was assured she would be kept on. But, honestly there were times that I found her just plain rude and mean. There were other times I really liked her. I think this made me even more disappointed when she would resort to her almost bratty behavior.
Overall the story was really good. I'm a big fan of Ms. Checketts and will definitely be reading more of her books.
The story line of each is predictable but interesting, however, there is too much use of the words "dang" and "stinking". It's really tiresome seeing the same thing in every, and ,I do mean every story.
Just about the time I began to enjoy the story, I'd roll my eyes at the use of the same words over and over again. Although this may be a little colloquialism, it is a bit much.
If you can get past that, the stories and the story lines are fun and entertaining reads.
Every book in this collection has a strong hero, although not all the heroes are billionaires. The women who love them are strong in their own right. Each story is told through humor, can induce tears, the characters are believable and real, and you'll want to keep this collection to read over again. Well done, Cami Checketts.
Happily, lovingly, and romantically read your way through Billionaire Bride Pact Romances. Sometimes I was impatient with the characters to just “get it together” and go forward or do something. Other times, it was so relaxing to let the great stories unfold. Cami Has never disappointed.
These are some of the first stories I read by Cami Checketts. I fell in love with her writing. It is light, witty, and fun. These characters became friends to me and I was anxious to read each book in the series so I could come to know the characters better. The beautiful settings help me escape day-to-day life and simply relax. I'm hooked!
What a wonderful series of Love, Laughter, strong women and protective me. Misunderstandings and Mayhem! Cami Checkett books just reel you in wanting more and more and very hard to put down until you finish.
Good, Clean romances. I really enjoyed this story series. Especially because each story can be read as a stand alone without rehashing what happened in the former story/book. Thank You!
This was a great week spent with 6 girls, friends from middle school summer camp. They made a pledge to marry very wealthy men or they would have to stand up at their wedding reception and sing the camp theme song. Embarrassing!
Some do. A few do not. But the not-as-wealthy guy they did marry loves them enough that it doesn't matter. All get their own HEA.
The links from one story to the next change. In some cases, the summer camp and the town of Crested Butte, Colorado is all that ties them into the collection. Some are more relationship focused and others are more active or suspenseful.
You can always count on Ms.Checketts to deliver a story that will captivate you for hours on end. These are great, clean and sweet stories, featuring characters with healthy and wholesome values. The differences in location and excitement make reading the full box set series more enjoyable
