I bought all but the last book individually and read them as they came out. Each of these books is more than worth the price of the bundle which makes this one heck of a deal. In "Lucky Daddy" you have Riley and Gwen. Gwen is Riley's best friend's little sister who he has been attracted to for forever. When she returns to town, sparks fly and situations bring them together. I enjoyed their banter and how the story got them together.
In "Not Over You," Fiona and Cade get a second chance. This book brought tears to my eyes in a couple of places. This was a sweet story with some steamy moments.
In "The Protector," you will find an intense story with danger, intrigue and some steam. This one is a roller coaster ride that had me sighing at the end. I could not put the book down and stayed up into the wee hours of the morning finishing it.
I adored Piper and Christian in "Accidentally Royal." They had such a lovely connection even though they verbally sparred from the start. The book was full of humor, shared adventures, misunderstandings, romance and love. The story is well developed and allows the characters time to develop their relationship. I definitely recommend this royal story.
My "Billionaire Protector" is about Darby and Carter, They met when she was 10 when they lived at an orphanage, he took her virginity when she was 18, and they meet again 10 years later. The evil that is out to get them and their connection makes this a great read.
I received an advance copy of this bundle and although I own most of the books, I bought the box set so they were all together. Even I couldn't pass up the price for the bundle.

My enjoyment varied, but some good steam to these stories!

I read advanced reader copies of all five novels when they were first released and I found some super, one good (4 stars for Accidentally Royal), and two okay to good (3.5 stars for Not Over You and Lucky Daddy). All are definitely steamy. Here are my reviews for my two favorites and a quick shot at the end on why the others did not rate as well for me:

The Protector - 5 stars
🌟Great twisting plot and major 🔬chemistry between a lost damsel and her savior😱😘
December 20, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
👍👍What a 🎢 rollercoaster of 🚧 danger and suspense interwoven with some major 🔥heat! I love a good romantic suspense story and this one is well-written, really fast-paced, with a great central,🔎 unsolved murder that ties it all together. The hero is a tough, loner veteran with a battered heart of gold. The heroine turns from mystery woman to a damsel in distress with hero Grant just the fella to protect and defend her. Their reaction to each other is explosive and produces a number of very passionate interludes.😘. From the🌇 streets of Chicago to the 🗻 forests of Colorado, this story grabbed me and never let go!😯

Although the conclusion of their story is satisfying, it was a bit slow and low-key after the excitement of the bulk of the story. No cliffhanger. I read a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review.

My Billionaire Protector - 4.5 stars
🎁An orphanage boy makes good and stumbles on the girl he left behind💞
November 22, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
👍4.5🌟stars
Lovely second chance💝 romance with an angelic 🎨art teacher and a hero who's pulled himself to the top of the💵 financial world through sheer determination and a kind mentor who always believed in him. Their story and future would not have been half so interesting without meddling from the heroine's self-obsessed brother. There's 🔥steam along with the romance and it's all in all a very enjoyable read.

I love an alpha hero who does not need to totally dominate his heroine and Carter is definitely my mind of hero. The fact that, unlike the heroine's brother Mason, he is willing to put others first even when he ends up suffering makes him the right guy for sweet, altruistic Darby. He's ethical, hardworking, and treats his employees with respect. Where can I find a guy like Carter?!

The 🎀 holiday touches, including way too much garland for Christmas-averse Carter!, add some humor, as does mentor Pop's playful relationship with his home health care assistant. I read a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review.

I am not a reader who needs long or frequent steamy scenes and this pair of authors go all out on the heat scale, so it dampened my enjoyment of the other stories somewhat. Plus in Lucky Daddy, the hero's "Irish accent" drove me crazy!

This is an amazing box set which is well written. Below are the novels included in box set:-

Reilly and Gwen’s story is a beautifully written story which is an emotional roller coaster journey from beginning to end. The characters are realistic, and this story has drama and is a steamy read.
#2 Not Over You
Fiona and Cade were first loves and soul mates, until Cade left her broken-hearted. Now 10 years later Fiona is back in town to help her Grammie after an accident, and runs into Cade who is a successful business owner. I loved Grammie! This is a well written story, which is humorous, emotional, and fun.

#5 My Billionaire Protector
Darby and Carter’s story a beautiful second chance romance story. This is well written and is a raw, gritty, steamy and realistic storyline, which all had me totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner.

What an amazing box set of deliciously hot alpha men and their gorgeous, witty woman. I loved all of the books, but Lucky Daddy was my favorite out of them all. I just swooned over all of the hotties in these stories, gruff, brass, stubborn and the woman who give them a run for their money. You can’t go wrong with this collection, you will not be able to put it down until you are done. I was lucky enough to review an advanced copy of this book.

Misleading title

This box set was misleading. I would say only one of the books fit the unexpected daddies category. The other 4 not. Also because of the marketing I had not realized that I had already read books 2 through 5. They were better the first time around. Since they are basically just KU books the plots are simple with no really big surprises. The price isn’t bad but the books are not good enough to really want my own copy.

Here’s a box that is worth a lot, both regarding cost but mostly the time you put in to read all these books. Every book is good on it’s own. Brought together like this, it couldn’t be better. I’ve read almost all of them when they were released and the rest now in the box.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this box

Great collection of over the top sexy, stubborn, alpha men and their love interest matches. All these standalone stories are well-written with chemistry, drama, wit and their baby surprises. The storylines are so realistically written that the reader feels present throughout the book. Entertaining, Engaging and I loved it. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

OMG!!!!!!

Okay, I've just started the book and the first one... I don't know if I'm going to make it y'all. Okay Reilly is an American with Irish-Italian who was raised in the states but has an AWFUL "irish" accent. Not only that but when he text, the Irish accent is in the text. OH COME ON!!!!! I'll update *sigh*

Worth reading

Cute little romances that young adults would enjoy if not for the explicit sex scenes. Sometimes to much sex and not enough story. Gave it a 4 because of the lack of comforting togetherness that was turned into hot sex scenes. Were a few strange grammar errors in all 5 books but didn't effect the stories to badly.

Grab this while you can. Each story works as a stand-alone and all are excellent. I admit to having read each individually and they each have great characters and an interesting storyline. With this box set, you’ve got them all in one place. Highly recommended. (I voluntarily reviewed an ARC).

The novellas were okay. The sex scenes were juicy but not a lot on the "unexpected" theme. And most ended with a pregnancy in the epilogue or ending. I was disappointed. I expected more children or surprise pregnancies.
