i read this box set as part of an arc program. This set includes the books Vegas Bound, Hawaii Bound and Paris Bound.
Vegas Bound - I really liked this second chance romance between Dom and Bella. Bella's best friend was getting married in Las Vegas to Dom's brother. Dom and Bella went to school together and were best friends until Dom's father got rich and moved the family away. Dom and Bella continued to talk until Dom disappeared and she never knew why. When they meet again, Dom knows he can never let Bella go again. Bella wants to know what happened and Dom knows he has to tell her the truth and he hopes she can forgive him. I liked this story, it had a but of a mystery as to why Dom stopped talking to Bella. I like they both still loved each other and wanted to be together. I like that Dom realized what was important and how he fixed things for the past.
Hawaii Bound - In this book, Natasha is hired to be an assistant to Samuel, a real estate mogul. When Sam is contacted by his mother about meeting his family in Hawaii while he is there on business, his mother offers to set him up with a single female. Sam has had enough of his mother trying to set him up, so he tells her he is engaged. Sam thinks if he can get Natasha to be his fake fiancee, his mother will give up on him needing a wife. Natasha doesn't want to do it at first, but he convinces her. Sam thinks Natasha will not be accepted by his family and he thinks he can just tell them they broke up and they will leave him alone. Natasha tends to speak before she thinks and she had went through a really bad break up where she was labeled a gold digger recently. Sam's sister recognizes Natasha and thinks she is just another gold digger. Sam and Natasha have a connection and attraction to one another they didn't expect. Over the weekend in Hawaii, they get closer and soon they want things to be real. I liked this story. I really liked Sam, i thought it was love at first sight with him. I liked how he stood up for Natasha with the businessmen. I think Natasha really loved Sam also. They had great chemistry.
Paris Bound - This is about a young woman named Kristina who was starting her own fashion line and was debuting her line at the Paris fashion show. When Shane's daughter asked to go to Paris for the fashion shows, he decided it was a way to show her the bad side of fashion in hopes of stopping her wanting to be a model. Shane was a single father and he owned a number of media businesses including a magazine. Shane asks his assistant to investigate to find a story in Paris about the shady dealings of the industry. When Shane and Kristina first meet, Kristina asks if his daughter Felicia wants to shadow her for a while to learn about the industry. Shane agrees and later when he asks Kristina to dinner, she declines. Shane is very attracted to Kristina and he still wants to see her. When his investigator discovers her team is behind a scandal, he has to decide if he wants to expose her or protect her. I liked this story. I liked Kristina and thought she wanted to be successful by herself and didn't want to rely on her father's money or anyone else. I think she really cared for Felicia and wanted to teach her. Shane cared for Kristina and i think Kristina cared for him, she just had to learn to trust him.
I love reading box sets, they are a great way to read a whole series and a great value.
