The Virgin Diaries: The complete series by Lauren Landish a complete five-star read.
Satin and Pearls by Lauren Landish a five-star read that is smooth as satin sheets. This is the first book in the Virgin Diaries series and it kicks off with a bang and a half. I haven’t ever really been hot for teacher, but Connor Daniels has me so hot I could melt. The writing is fun and flirty and shows us all sides of the story. I can’t wait for the next instalment.
Leather and Lace by Lauren Landish a five-star read that you will want to take to hand. This is the second book in the Virgin Diaries series they can be read as stand-alone as they each tell the story of a different amazing character, but they do pop up in each other’s stories. This time it’s the turn of Arianna a young lady who decided not to allow what was done to her rule her life and take life by the horns as use it her way, making her into an amazing woman that you can totally get behind. When she is delivering papers to the big boss a twist of fate takes her on a journey that will show her a different path one involving the hottest hottie of them all Liam Blackstone a man of power, looks and strength. You will be taken on their journey and sucked into their world., leaving you shaken and broken when then pages end.
Silk and Shadows by Lauren Landish a five-star read that will go down like silk. This is the third book in the Virgin Diaries series and they can all be read as stand-alone, but I have loved each and every one. Norma Jean Blackstone is a great character, she is strong and smart and isn’t afraid to let her tongue do the talking, the trouble is when she meets her match that bratty little tongue will do more than talking. This was a phenomenal read, I am a huge fan of the author generally and I don’t know what it was with this one, but it blew my socks off. This author just has a great talent of writing sweet and funny with a hotness that melts your face off without being all showy and raw.

Satin and Pearls
Connor Daniels is the hottest Professor on campus and a hard teacher to pass in class. Daisy is frustrated both in class and hot of class by him. No matter if she has the correct answer if she missed something in her work he feels she should've written down he deducts from her grade. When he over hears her talking about him and tells her that maybe she'll want to meet him during office hours to discuss her grade. Connor knows that he is tempting fate by seeing her privately but he can't seem to stop himself. Once in her dorm after talking with him Daisy starts working on her assignment but has a question and looks to message Connor online about it. Connor is surprised when Daisy messages the math chat line to talk to him about her work but nothing could surprise him more than what happens when she thinks the chat is closed. Connors overhears some naughty things Daisy is doing and it makes fighting his attraction harder. Will Connor give in and claim his virgin?
Leather and Lace
Arianna starts working as an intern for the company Liam is the CEO at. One day she was sent to deliver something to him and ended up being photographed with him for a magazine. Liam was captivated by the beauty before him and knew he had to know everything about her. Arianna was worried when she was asked to go back up to the boss's office the next day but nothing could've shocked her more when he hired her as his secretary. Sparks flew between them and even though he knew he shouldn't he propositioned Arianna. Arianna knew she should've walked out and never looked back but something about Liam kept her there. Things got heated between them but someone from the office wasn't happy with the way Liam was running things and wanted to take him down. Can Liam see that what he has with Arianna is something more than a passing fling?
Silk and Shadows
Norma is a journalist student and she is approached by her editor to secretly tutor Zach on some of his studies. Zach is star on the field but needs some help concentrating on his studies to be able to keep playing. When he learns that he has to be tutored that he pictures a stuffy person helping him nothing prepares him for Norma when he meets her. Sparks fly between them from the very beginning. Zach knows that he wants Norma and that she's special to him. It doesn't take long for their fake relationship to quickly morph into something serious. However it takes a team mate threatening their relationship for them to admit that it is more than casual. Will Zach and Norma admit they want to be together despite how they started out?
This is a great box set and once I started reading I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining box set. I would recommend this set to any book lover.

Oh man what a series that I LOVED LOVED LOVED !!!
Satin and Pearls - Oh my what an amazing story, it’s short and flows beautifully, it’s steamy oh my it’s steamy and it’s like no other taboo read I’ve read which makes it stand out. The maturity of both characters is refreshing, how they handle their relationship is refreshing, how they handle themselves near the end and what Connor does...oh my and YES YES YES....and the ending with the pearls....steamy steamy steamy.
Leather and Lace - Oh my what a read, a read I couldn’t put down, a read with a dirty talking no holds barred CEO and a woman who challenges him, like no other. The story started out strong and kept going w/o letting up and kept the focus on the two. A read with no over the top drama...loved it....no other women or jealousies...loved it....no secrets, no misunderstandings, no lies, no going behind the other’s back...LOVED IT!!
Silk and Shadows - Holy smokes...touchdown...nailed it and even though at first I wasn’t keen on Zach’s attitude, it was a perfect match for Norma. She was able to stand up to him, banter with the best of them and truly be herself with him, which he needed, a strong woman to keep him in line and see through all his “confidence”. These two lit up the pages and had the steamy scenes fogging up mirrors but what I truly loved and appreciated was what happens when someone tries to get between them, Norma’s reaction and who she believed or rather trusted was the clincher for me, the field goal, the touchdown that has me saying THANK YOU and KUDOS to the author.
A series not to be missed, 3 AMAZING stories with 3 AMAZING couples, LOVED LOVED LOVED all three reads !

3.5 stars, rounded up to 4 stars
I love most of the solo Lauren Landish novels I have read. This author has a knack for developing believable characters and plots, a deft hand with natural dialog, and I love her slightly lyrical narrative voice (plus all of the intelligent scientific and literary references!). Ms. Landish (and her editors/proofreaders) also manage to fairly consistently produce novels with very few technical errors - always a plus for me.
Unfortunately, this collection doesn’t allow Ms. Landish’s talents to truly shine because the three stories contained within are novellas – not full-length novels. Because of the “space/time” constraints, they read more like erotic vignettes, instead of true romances – there’s not enough time to develop a complete picture, so the reader is left with just appetizers instead of a satisfying, full course (to mix my metaphors!). Also, because of these constraints, Ms. Landish’s narrative voice has been compressed and doesn’t feel as polished as what I have come to appreciate from her prose.
However, the third and final story of the collection breaks this mold. Ms. Landish takes a little bit more time to develop a believable relationship between the main characters (“Zach” and “Norma Jean”), and her narrative voice is more sophisticated that in the other two novellas. Still, it’s more of the Lauren Landish I love, so I’d give this abbreviated tale a 4.5 out of 5.0 stars! (Only problem I have with this one is that “Paradise Lost” is my FAVORITE of all the teacher-selected “must-reads” in my high school curriculum, so I don’t like the put-downs, ZACH and NORMA! Gimme a break – “Satan” as a sympathetic anti-hero? Yeah; I loved the unexpectedness of that!)

This novel is the perfect mixture of spicy hot, thrilling and awesome…
My expectations were on a high level before even reading this novella, knowing that Ms. Landish has a way of her own to draw her readers in.
And again she surpassed herself!
The protagonists, Daisy and Connor, are really special in the way that they care for each other, through and through lovable.
The plot-idea in and of itself is not new at all, but the implementation by Ms Landish makes this story simply striking.
Once I started reading, I could not stop until I had turned over the last page … so good ... so intriguing … so captivating …!
I am very curious for the next book in this series and can’t wait to get it in my hands!
Leather and Lace
Arianna and Liam’s story is like sparkling wine: tingling and bubbling, making one delirious with love and life.
The characters are charming and playful with a very hot dominant yet caring hero and a sassy and sexy heroine…
The plot is amusing and panty-melting hot and sexy all at once!
I loved this novella and can not wait for the next book in this sexy series!
Silk and Shadows
Zach and Norma are pushing their mutual buttons masterly to get a rise out of each other.
Hot banter and sexy quick-witted dialogues made me laugh out loud not only once ...
The whole package is sometimes funny, even hilarious and panty-melting hot at the same time.
On the first view, both characters do not have much in common, but on a second view they are carved out of a quite similar wood … both mouthy and stubborn to a fault.
This is a deliciously wicked romance, entertaining as f*** and the very worthy conclusion to this awesome series!

I've read each of these books and they are separately great short reads. All of them together in one box set? Awesome.
Satin and Pearls:
Student/professor. Done so many times, right? Forget others you've read - this one was done so well. It's hot 'n steamy with a twist that could ruin both of them. Connor and Daisy were a dynamic duo you couldn't help rooting for. Can they survive if their world comes tumbling down?
Leather and Lace:
I could not put it down! Arianna was an intern at Morgan Inc. but one little task landed her in the middle of something she wasn't prepared for...meeting CEO Liam Blackstone in the oddest way. The chemistry and vulnerability between them was great to read.
Silk and Shadows:
Norma is smart, ambitious and doesn't hold back for anyone. Zach is the star quarterback who needs a little help with one of his college subjects. He just can't seem to get enough of her feisty zingers. She's an interesting challenge for someone like him but is she willing to give up her V-card to the star athlete who probably has groupies all over?
Zach and Norma's chemistry was sizzling and I really enjoyed the unfolding of the story (sorry, no spoilers!). This book was more than just steam.
I would definitely recommend this box set.

Student/professor. Done so many times, right? Forget others you've read - this one was done so well. It's hot 'n steamy with a twist that could ruin both of them. Connor and Daisy were a dynamic duo you couldn't help rooting for. Can they survive if their world comes tumbling down?
Leather and Lace:
I could not put it down! Arianna was an intern at Morgan Inc. but one little task landed her in the middle of something she wasn't prepared for...meeting CEO Liam Blackstone in the oddest way. The chemistry and vulnerability between them was great to read.
Silk and Shadows:
Norma is smart, ambitious and doesn't hold back for anyone. Zach is the star quarterback who needs a little help with one of his college subjects. He just can't seem to get enough of her feisty zingers. She's an interesting challenge for someone like him but is she willing to give up her V-card to the star athlete who probably has groupies all over?
Zach and Norma's chemistry was sizzling and I really enjoyed the unfolding of the story (sorry, no spoilers!). This book was more than just steam.
I would definitely recommend this box set.

Dear Diary, wanna know my secrets?
5/5 ⭐️ 3/5🌶️
𝓓𝓮𝓪𝓻 𝓓𝓲𝓪𝓻𝔂,
𝓦𝓱𝔂 𝓲𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓲𝓼 𝓫𝓸𝓸𝓴 𝓷𝓸𝓽 𝓽𝓪𝓵𝓴𝓮𝓭 𝓪𝓫𝓸𝓾𝓽 𝓶𝓸𝓻𝓮?!
This book was such a fun read! Lauren Landish includes three stories that follow three FMCs & their diary entries. Each FMC’s story is written in dual POV with their MMC. Each story is taboo tropes like professor/student, boss/employee, etc.
The writing is *chef’s kiss* and each story (under/around 200 pages each) reads so smoothly! There are 6 main characters and I loved each one of them- that’s impressive! No cheating, all HEA, insanely addicting.
The stories included are:
Satin & Pearls
Leather & Lace
Silk & Shadows
The title is very telling, but don’t let the sweet and innocent vibe throw you off. These stories are far from that and made of 𝓁𝑒𝓈𝓈 𝓈𝓊𝑔𝒶𝓇 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝓂𝑜𝓇𝑒 𝓈𝓅𝒾𝒸𝑒!
Hurry up and read it!

I usually love Lauren's books but by the time I got to the third book, it was kinda the same as the other two. And I got board of it.
They're a good read but for me there is too much sex and not enough substance. It's all rather quickly paced. One minute they all hate each other, then the next, they're at it like rabbits.
There's no deep conversations happening, rather they tell you it's happened. Nothing to show it really happening. Rather dissatisfied with this series. I didn't read it first time around because they're virgins and that's kinda old now. Also not one book mentions any form of contraception, considering each girls is a virgin and each bloke has had many partners.

arc review For honest review satin and pearls-This is a teacher-student story that is very cute about the relationship between Daisy and the professor Connor Daniels.leather and lace-This is a story of Adrianna having dreams and aspirations of doing more and when she meets Liam Blackstone she get that and more. Awesome silk and shadows-Norma is a virgin and a journalist for a school newspaper her boss ask her to tutor Zack a football player. I love how this book shows that bullies never win. Awesome story.

This is the perfect way to get all three books in this series at once. I loved all three of these super steamy and entertaining reads. Included are a professor/student, boss/intern and jock/nerd romance. The characters share great chemistry and their banter was clever. Each book has a fun plot and twists to keep you entertained and engaged. These reads are as hot as they are emotional and I highly recommend them. This is my honest, voluntary review.

I read these three books individually, but you are lucky to buy them as a set. Three great books, three dominant, alpha males, three sexy, strong virgins, let the fun and games begin!! I can't choose one I like better than the other, all three are great reads. Do yourself a favor, buy tis collection for $2.99 or read for free with your KU subscription. Great warm up for these cold winter nights!!

Loved them ALL!!!
I think every time I read a new series of Lauren I like it more, then I read another one and its great too. I just love her writing and all her characters. Every time I see a book by her I buy it. A lot of times I already have it. I'm not really sure what people want in these reviews but to know that they are great books. I don't want to tell what happens then why should you read it. So happy reading.

These three work well together
I read book one some time ago, and missed the second and third. So glad I saw this set. It's been fun to read, men who know what they want, and girls who fall so far they give the guys their most precious gift. But in doing so become targets.
With painful results.
I fully recommend this set, and hope you give them a read.

Fun Read!
This was a fun read for me. It’s an adult romance novel with lots of hot sex, maybe a bit too much (if that’s possible 😁) Very definitely hot! I did enjoy it especially with the cute clever bantering. I rated it with 4 stars because of the large quantity of explicit sex which detracted from the story. However I do recommend it.

Fun college series
Three stories based at the same college with separate plots. The first is a forbidden romance between a student and her professor. The second between an intern and a young CEO. The third a sports romance. I really liked this series and highly recommend it.

Each story better than the last!
I started reading a sample. And had to finish the story. When I saw the complete series as a set, I had to get it. Not too long, so each story only took a couple hours. Great reads, and I love her words!

I only read the first book in this one. It was ok but not interesting enough to keep going. I don’t enjoy the teacher/student trope at all. It grossed me out in fact. This was a college student and professor so not super yucky but still. Meh. Just don’t not interesting.

Good bookS
This series was pretty good. They each had their own separate story with the previous characters having cameo appearances in the next book. These were all well done and not cookie cutter stories why the same theme.

Loved It!
Loved having all three books in one place. Ms Landish knows how to make a great story time and time again. Any book I've read from her is funny intriguing and sexy.
