[ViolinVixen · Rating 5 out of 5]

This box set is a steal and a must have addition to your bad boy romance library. All the books are full length, steamy, intriguing and of course have happy endings! I've included a few longer reviews of my favourites, but all of the stories are worth curling up with!

Best Jerk
When wedding planner Callie is asked by her BFF to plan her wedding, she is reluctant, but agrees none the less. Her BFF and her fiance haven't been together very long and Callie is concerned that their whirlwind romance and engagement may be too hasty.

Little did Callie know that her doubts about the happy couple would be the least of her worries. Best man Grayson arrives on scene "to help" plan the wedding and to support his friend. Grayson is also skeptical about the rush wedding, but instead of silently supporting his friend, he goes out of his way to sabotage the wedding planning at every turn.

Grayson drives Callie absolutely insane and not just in a bad way either. He's a jerk, but he's a hot jerk and the angry sparks between them eventually heat up over time and the resulting chemistry between them is off the charts hot.

Will the wedding go off despite Grayson's interference? Will Callie regret allowing her heart to thaw to the jerk Grayson? Will either of these couples end up with their happily ever after?

Billionaire Neighbor
Jade is a strong, beautiful woman, not afraid to speak her mind and intimidated by few. She's currently working as a nanny for baby Jacob, not her first choice of careers, but it gives her the freedom to indulge in her true passion, cooking, and she's starting to love spending time with the sweet little boy.

Jade lives with Jacob's mom who lives the high life thanks to her baby daddy - a billionaire who keeps Jacob's mom in a highrise condo as his beck and call girl. Jade feels sorry for the young mom who is constantly being tossed aside, but has become accustomed to the craziness of the lifestyles of the rich and (in)famous while living in this exclusive building.

One of these rich crazies however, pushes Jade to her breaking point when she suspects him of spying into her bedroom with his telescope collection. She confronts him on the street and isn't afraid to let him have it. This neighbor - Cole - is befuddled by this feisty woman accusing him of being a peeping tom, but she disappears before he has a chance to explain. He can't get Jade out of his mind though and waits patiently to cross paths with her again. He charms his way into being granted both forgiveness and a dinner date and once the misunderstanding is resolved, they hit it off immediately.

Jade is aware of the disparity in their social standing and incomes, but she's not attracted to Cole's money, she's attracted to Cole. His intelligence, kindness, humour and his good looks don't hurt either. They're both aware that the paps could spin a less than flattering story about the billionaire being bamboozled by the young, beautiful nanny, but they don't care. Jade and Cole love spending time together, have insane chemistry and are in the happy bubble of a new relationship.

The bubble threatens to burst though when Jade finds out about a huge secret Cole's been keeping from her. Can she ever trust him again? Will she be able to forgive him after being lied to from day one?

Great, steamy romance with an interesting storyline and genuine characters. It's a unique spin on the billionaire/nanny trope with a twist I didn't predict (I love it when that happens!) Also - I absolutely loved the ending! :)

Lulu Pratt's six stories under the cover of Long and Hard include: 1)Billionaire Neighbor; 2)Fake Marriage Act; 3)Relentless Pursuit; 4)Making His Baby; 5)Best Jerk; and, 6)Never, were all five star stories when I read them the first time and continue to remain that way upon a second reading. These stories have something for everyone. I suggest you click on each title and read the blurb to decide which one you want to read first, or not. Read them in order. All good :-)
Ms Pratt has a way with writing intriguing characters like enemies to lovers, Callie and Grayson in Best Jerk. Grayson was such a wonderful jerk. He oozed it!
Bottom line: definitely and wholeheartedly recommending this box set for your reading pleasure and enjoyment.
I am volunteering to leave a review of this advanced review book.

If you have never read Lulu Pratt's book before this is a great set to start with. All of these book are well written. The couples in the stories have great chemistry and the the stories are very well written. There is just something about an alpha male who goes after the woman he wants and doesn't give up until she gets her. The women are not pushovers though. They can hold their own and definitely make the men work for it.

Decent

The thing about Lulu Pratt is, she always has a really good premise to her story. Like her ideas always sound like something I want to read. But the execution, the execution needs more work. Her stories are always so long-winded. And, it feels like it’s mostly filler when you read it. We don’t need to know about every second of everyday, and we also don’t need to know every single thought in someone’s head. Plus, a lot of the conflict in the plots is driven by a single piece of relevant information that the characters never want to share with each other. Which is fine but it’s frustrating when a book is 300 pages and nothing happens until page 250. That being said, Pratt’s writing is actually decent and mostly realistic. The books are always well edited.

Amazing!!

Thanks Lulu these 6 reads had all the tension and feels. I especially love the extended epilogues you have written for each story.
We miss your work Lulu, hopefully you will write again one day.
