What I love about each of these books is one that they can be read alone or with each other. Two each book features a stong female character with their own problems with either family or work. Three they fall for a "bad" boy type of personality.
The male characters are also stong and independent either financially, physically or personally. There was always something there that made you root for them to get their happily ever after.
Excellent job on the writing of Elle Danes. I highly recommend this set.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book. What an amazing collection of sexy alpha men who love their women unconditionally, deliciously steamy and HOT!! You will be sucked in from the start, not wanting to put this book down. Chemistry is off the charts hot, there are twists and turns, passion and learning to trust again. Getting a second chance at love with the one you’ve always wanted, but never want after. Ellie Danes has outdone herself with this box set, this is a must read and you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this book and dare you to grab it!

SECOND CHANCES
Brittany and Dalton come from very prestigious, very uptight, extremely wealthy parents. Both of their parents control their money, and control their lives to the point that they are both miserable and have no money of their own. Brittany moved into an apartment building that Dalton manages. Their little interactions progress, and before you know it Brittany declares her love for Dalton. Brittany’s dad is now trying to select her husband or he will “cut her off.” Dalton’s dad is not much better. He controls his trust fund and if he doesn’t get married in the next two years to a respectable woman, and consummate the marriage on their wedding night, and prove he has changed and a ton of other requirements, his dad will just keep all of the money.
Dalton doesn’t care. He’s in love with Brittany too. They say love conquers all. I love the way Dalton encourages Brittany in her love of painting. Dalton will take care of her and love her and protect her. Isn’t that what every woman wants in a man? Neither one of them care about the money, they just want to be happy.
This was a great story. It’s about two people just trying to live their lives and be happy. Everybody reaches a breaking point, and while you’re reading this book, you just keep thinking when are they going to explode. No spoilers here. But you will find a lot more secrets in this book. It will shock you, but it in a good way. You won’t believe them.
SINCE LAST TIME
Great book. Dean has been in love with Taylor since she was 18 years old and they shared their first kiss. But her father saw it and told Dean he had to get away, grow up, and then come back. Now that Pops has passed away, Dean has to come back for the reading of the will. At the reading, everyone finds out that Dean is part owner of Pop’s bar along with Eric his son and Taylor. And that’s when things start to get really interesting. Things are missing at the bar and the finances are in shambles. Can Dean fix everything before they lose the bar?
Great book. Dean is so in love with Taylor and Taylor is still so in love with Dean. It’s nine years later, but their love is still as strong as ever. Love the family drama. And love reading about the love story between Dean and Taylor.
OUR SECOND FIRST KISS
Dylan sees Bethany at a bar and he is sure he remembers her from someplace but can’t quite put it together. You will love it when they figure out where they know each other from. And what happened before with them. Dylan is a mechanic for Xtreme racers and their expensive cars. When someone starts stealing them, Bethany, a lawyer with the district attorneys office, suspects Dylan.
Really good book. You will love the way Dylan and Bethany come back together and get their happily ever after. Sweet romance.

This new to me author has claimed my heart with these romances that all had an air of intrigue and suspense. I really enjoyed each story and the characters who made you want to take all of their troubles away and make everything right in the world. With plenty of action and yup some steam this set of standalone reads are most definitely worth the read.
Second Chances:
He was doing penance and working for his parents taking care of their apartment building, trying to make up for his past and earn the right to his inheritance. She was sheltered and by controlling parents who discounted what she wanted from life, forcing her to do it their way. He has secrets. She wants to live life on her own terms. Although they have burning hot chemistry they keep it at bay while they become fast friends and he works things out. Great story where the second chance isn't their second chance but a second chance for him to protect what's his.
Since Last Time:
He kissed her and left for 9 years, now he's back for the funeral of the man he considered more of a father than his own. She had moved on with her life after he left but never sharing her heart. Now that he's back there's a mystery to solve before they loose everything their father worked for. But first he has to share why he left and what he's done for 9 years. Lies and secrets have to be told so the past can be fully disclosed so they can move forward, but at what cost. Now they have to fight for not only the bar their father had for 50 years but they have to rebuild a friendship that the lies and secrets jeopardize. Wonderful small town romance, small town busy bodies, small town scoundrels. Who says you can never go home again, he's back, here to stay and to claim the woman who has haunted his dreams and life for 9 years.
Once Again
He was drawn to her the moment he saw her in the bar. She didn't have time for relationships. They had everything to loose by pursuing each other but couldn't stop the train wreck. She's in the middle of preparing a case for trial. He remembers her and this time he isn't letting her go. She isn't sure she can trust him but her heart keeps getting in the way. They both race against time to prove his innocence before it's too late.

4 1/2 Stars
I love when author’s bundle up their work! Three full stories on Second romance!
Since Last Time:5 Stars
Taylor had never forgotten Dean or the kiss they shared on her eighteenth birthday. She never forgot the way he left without a word, nor the way he broke her brother’s heart by having sex with his then fiancée Courtney that same night.
It’s been nine long years without him and waking each morning with memories of that kiss, well, it was sad, especially when it’s a morning she and her brother Eric will bury their beloved father.
Not so much sympathy for Dean, as we find him waking up in his four star hotel with a sweet, beautiful Kimmie/ Katie by his side. Ugh, I was not liking Dean at all. I did appreciate the lack of details from that passionate night, but it still hurt my heart for Taylor.
I’ve got to admit that the blurb was a great hook and I was expecting and interesting story from this author. I was not disappointed.
Kudos to the author in spending the time developing the main couple and their shared past. Dean, who I didn’t like due to the opening scene, wormed his way into my heart when he confessed how he came back for Taylor after spending two years in jail/prison, but saw her with another man. He was still a bonehead for not contacting her or explaining his feelings, but at least he is honest this second time around.
Well written, moderately paced, with great dual POVs. No cheating, no stupid behavior or juvenile misunderstandings as this couple have truly grown up and deserve the HEA they achieve at the end.

Second chances is the story about Brittany, who comes from a wealthy family and an overprotective father. Her father puts her in a condo where she meets Dalton. The sparks start to fly between the two, but will they be able to overcome her father? I enjoyed this story.
The second story, Since Last Time: Dalton was the love of Taylor's life. His mother had worked for her father, Pops, at his bar and while growing up he was always at the place. When he kissed Taylor for the first time, both of they were hooked. That night, her father sent him away to finish his education. While he was away, he got into a confrontation with another man and spent 2 years in prison. When he got out, he was determined to make it up to Pops by making something of himself. When Pops dies, he returns for the funeral. Taylor and her brother find out how close their father was to Dalton and how the two had helped and supported each other through the years. When the three of they find out that the bar was going under, they worked together to see if they could save it. Will they save the bar? Will the spark between Dalton and Taylor be rekindled. The story has a HEA and I would recommend it to all.
Our Second First Kiss is the story of a teenage first kiss. He leaves town and returns years later and meets up with the grown up girl he shared his first kiss with. He was her brother's best friend and left town after the first kiss. Will these two be able to reconnect and will she ever forgive him?
I would recommend this boxed set to everyone.

This was a very interesting set of books. There are three in this box set. All three of them are interesting and gripping from beginning to end. Ellie choose just the right ones to put together in a box set.
Second Chances is the first one.Loved this one. Everyone deserves a second time . Everyone deserves to live the life they want to live. It takes these two getting together for them to realize they can take control of their own lives. I loved these two together. Great chemistry between these two that is instant. A couple of intense moments in this one . But very well written and enjoyable from beginning to end.
Since last Time is the second one in this series. I absolutely loved this one. Touching from the beginning to the end. I love second chance romance and this one hit it out of the park. Secrets were kept for far to long. Will people be able to forgive and give love a chance? Amazing characters great story line. Highly recommend.
Third one is Our Second First Kiss. These two knew each other when they were kids. They were each others first kiss. Then he moved away. They meet back up but at first she doesn't remember him. She is working on an extremely difficult case with the District Attorney and starts remembering things. She uses him to get him out of her system and to try and find out information regarding the case she is working on. I loved these two together once they realize what is right in front of them.
All three of these books were amazing books. The characters all had great chemistry with each other. Very well written.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book.
Second Chances - Definitely a good book with a good twist.

Dalton is getting a second chance in life. After serving time he has to prove to his father that he can be a better man in order to get his inheritance.
I really enjoyed this second chance with a HEA ending.
Since Last time - This is a second chance romance with a HEA ending.
Dalton hasn't been home in nine years. He promised he would stay away until he was called home. Pops, his mentor and family has just passed away and he's ready to go home and claim the family that's his. Only he has a secret that could cost him everything.
I really enjoyed this book and hope we get Eric and Kris story. I want it bad.
Our Second First Kiss - This is a second chance romance with a HEA ending.
Bethany is all work and no play. She has worked her way up to assistant DA and she is not willing to risk anything to stay on top.
Dylan lives the fast life and drives even faster cars. He owns his own car body shop and lives for getting his hands dirty. Until he notices a big mistake in his inventory.
Definitely a good book. Would love to have Joey and Annie's book.

I have to say I didn't exactly know what I was getting into when I started this boxset, but I have to say I was surprised. From Brittany and Dalton's angstfull story, both growing up with rich parents, but even though they had everything going for them, they were still both miserable and alone. Not doing what they really wanted in their lives. Found out how they both get their happily ever after, even with their family making ridiculous demands from them
Dean and Taylor's teenage story about second chances, but also some suspense mixed into it, which things going missing at Taylor's dad's bar and finances not making any sense. Even after nine years they are both still inlove with each but will the bar's issues keep them apart or bring them closer to each other
To Dylan and Bethany. Dylan sees Bethany at a bar but doesn't know where he knows her from. Hectic. Things start to go a bit awry when they do figure it out and Bethan suspects Dylan of something, but in the end you will love them figuring out all the drama.
Definitely a boxset that I will recommend if you in the mood for some love, drama, angst, suspense and lots of romance.

A little look into the trilogy by Ellie Danes.
All three second chance romances are great and will have you smiling as you read.
Dalton has been in love with the same woman for the last 10 years. A costly mistake had him remain away from this woman for longer than anticipated. Dalton, now, has a successful business and a secret that he is keeping from those he considers family. Taylor, on her 18th birthday, has her first kiss and falls in love with her brother's best friend. After her first kiss, Taylor is devastated from the loss of that special person in her life. Ten years later, having graduated college and now working in social media, Taylor is faced with seeing the love of her life again under stressful circumstances. Can Dalton and Taylor put the past behind them and move forward? Will the secrets of the past control the path towards a future together?
This is a heart warming read had me rooting for the main characters to work through the tough times in hopes they would end up together.

I love these three stories!!! I really enjoyed these characters and plots in all the stories. They are great second chance stories with very good story-line with drama and some unexpected twists and turns. I really liked the main characters in the books. My favorite is "Since Last Time" The story is actually Taylor and Dalton's story but there is a secondary romance between her brother, Eric , and her best friend, Kris. I really liked all four of them. There is a lot of history and drama between Dalton, Taylor and Eric that happened when they were younger but it helps shape them into a real family. Of course, Kris has always been there but she was there to be a best friend and help the mending process. After reading the introduction chapter on Dalton I was not sure I was going to like him at all but he redeemed himself in so many ways. He and Taylor were always meant to be together but so were the other two. This was a page turner read with tragedy, drama, betrayal, family, romance, mystery/suspense and crooks.

I enjoyed this boxed set very much. Each of these stories are standalone novels and are different in nature, but each story deals with second chances at life and at love. In each story the characters are trying to move past their disastrous or difficult pasts and find a way move on with their lives and stand on their own. Each story is a heartwarming tale of redemption and is full of emotions - despair, anger, sadness and hope. The romance in each story is truly heartfelt. These are uplifting stories about coming home, putting aside differences and working together for a common goal. But these stories are not just romances. Each story involves a mystery - adding a touch of intrigue and exciting depth to each storyline. The characters are all unique and engaging, with intense chemistry, and the romance is hot and steamy. Truly a wonderful and entertaining romance box set.

Second Chances – Brittany may be an adult however she has to follow his plans for her future or he will stop paying for her apartment and college. Dalton is managing the apartment building for his father and trying to atone for his past. They can’t deny the chemistry between them but how will their fathers react?
Since Last Time - Dalton kissed his best friend’s sister Taylor on her 18th birthday and then left with no explanation. Nine years later he returns for her dad’s funeral and to reconnect with his best friend and Taylor. The chemistry between Taylor and Dalton is stronger than ever but will their relationship be able to withstand the twists, surprises and suspense that come at them from all angles?
It is great to have all three stories in one collection.

I very much enjoyed this boxed by Ellie Danes. Each of these stories can be read as standalone novels and are different in nature, but each story has themes of second chances at life and at love.
Each story is a heartwarming tale of redemption and is full of emotions. The romance in each story is truly heartfelt. These are uplifting stories about coming home and putting aside differences. That said, there is much more than romance in these stories. Each story involves a mystery aspect, adding essence, intrigue and exciting depth to each storyline. Every character is unique and engaging, with intense chemistry, and the romance has plenty of sizzle and steam. Truly a wonderful and entertaining romance box set.
I cannot wait to read more from this talented author.

All 3 of these books were enjoyable! Have to say the 2nd was my favourite. All are HEA, featuring some redemption, sadness, a little humor here and there and of course, romance.
I haven’t read anything by this author before but I will be reading more now!
I like having a strong female character rather then the typical damsel in distress. Of course there’s the tattooed former bad guy to corrupt the good girl, a childhood love turned mechanic and a bad boy turned successful businessman all back to win over the ladies.
I would recommend these stories. All can be read as standalone or if you’re like me, all in a row!

Three steamy, emotional and heartfelt books are included in this great box set.
You also get one brand new story you haven’t read yet which I thought was a great addition and well worth buying the set ... just for that story alone.
Each book features its own couple and they each have an emotional, drama filled storyline with lots of steam.
The heroes are hot and the heroines are sassy.
Drama, angst, emotional turmoil, sweetness and lots of steam are included in this well written fabulous boxset!!!

Wonderful box set. A lot of different themes, storylines, drama and romance. For example: BOOK 1 - SECOND CHANCES: Two young people from wealth but took different paths in life meet. They both wanted to live life on their own terms without upsetting the parents. BOOK 2 - SINCE THE LAST TIME: Brother's best friend. Nine years without contact, a funeral, a reading of a will, a family business in trouble, theft, scheming and friendships on the line. Entertaining, a good read.

Each book features its own couple, has a fun, emotional story and offers plenty of steam. The heroes are hot and know what they want and the heroines are sassy and more than a match for the men that want their heart. Drama, angst, emotional turmoil, sweetness and lots of smoky passion! An excellent box set! This is my honest, voluntary review.

An awesome boxset of three amazing stories with hot sexy alpha men and the woman who complete them. So much chemistry and love all throughout the stories. Loved watching the journey of trust develop so they can be together and have their HEA. Just the right amount of twists and turns in the storyline to keep it exciting. I love second chances and these stories were so good!!

Ellie Danes has written three heartfelt and sizzling hot second chance romances with sweet love, lost friendships, secrets and forgivness.
This collection is filled with funny and sweet interaction, humorous dialog and steamy interaction. As much as I loved the protagonists I enjoyed the rest of the characters immensely.

I'm a fan of this author, so I expected well-crafted stories with romance and spice. I did not expect crime drama and other twists that added layers and pulled me in. I couldn't help but root for the good guys even more. I loved the way everything worked out and got to the HEAs. I'd highly recommend this set to any romance junkie!
