Wilder Irish #1-4
Wilder Irish Boxed Set
A billionaire CEO who always gets what he wants, a bad boy rock star, enemies to lovers, forbidden love, and second chances, this steamy boxed set has enough heat to melt your e-reader.
Wild Passion
Caitlyn’s life is running smoothly until she comes face-to-face with a cutthroat businessman who’s used to getting everything he wants. Problem is he wants Pat’s Pub—and he’s not taking no for an answer. Caitlyn should despise him for threatening her family’s business, but there’s something about Lucas’s dominant nature that awakens the hidden submissive inside her.
Wild Desire
Ailis couldn’t be more dissimilar from rock star Hunter. Quiet to his loud, calm to his frantic, bookish to his street smart; they have no common ground. Except for the fact that Ailis’s boyfriend just ran away with Hunter’s fiancee.
With one impulsive kiss, opposites suddenly attract. Ailis’s feelings toward Hunter turn to serious lust…and more. But falling for a musician isn’t a good idea. Fame comes with a price, one she isn’t sure she’s ready to pay.
Wild Devotion
Padraig is a carefree bartender, filled with hopes and dreams for his future…which are thrown off course when Mia walks into the bar. When she leaves in tears, Padraig follows. He hopes to give the young woman comfort and assurance. What he gets in return is a massive dose of reality.
Mia has an inoperable tumor with a diagnosis of only six months to live. As Padraig listens to her detail the things she’ll never get to experience, he’s forced to face some hard facts about the way he’s lived his own life.
An evening of soul-searching leads to a life-changing decision—Padraig will help Mia accomplish everything on her bucket list. But that goal changes into something far deeper when Padraig falls in love with her.
Wild at Heart
Fiona has a man problem—she has too many in her life. How does she choose between Owen, the sweet boy (turned sexy man) she dated in college and Asher, the hot hunk starring in too many current fantasies?
Fiona’s resigned to having neither man…until Owen and Asher take matters into their own hands—literally. It’s a case of life imitating sexy sitcom…even more so when Fiona’s recent ex, Mr. Big Gesture himself, shows up to win her back—with his biggest gesture yet.

Four stories about a family in Baltimore, whose grandfather owns the pub. There's a cast of thousands as far as family members are concerned, and heaps of room for all the stories about their loves and losses. They're a family with some more unusual relationships as well.
Books 1-4 have different tropes;
Book 1 - enemies to lovers
Book 2 - ex's best friend, rebound (for want of better terms)
Book 3 - fake dating - rescuer
Book 4 - second chance romance, best friends
Book 3 is a real tearjerker. Count this as a warning.
One of the better anthologies (series) I've read where they are all great characters. Reading these in order would be best as they seem to be choronological and cross reference the previous books.

I reviewed all of these stories independently on their separate Goodreads pages. This series is amazing and each story is a standalone, which I love.

Wow! Read all three books and so worth the read. Love this family. Listened to them through Audible and loved it.

Loved this series and can't wait to read more. Truly wish my family was just as grand and I had a Pop Pop to lean on.

Some great sex, interesting scenarios, fun reading, except for a couple of things...
First, WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK. This author knows zip, zero, zilch about Irish alcohol WTF 🤦♀️ There are LITERALLY hundreds of beers & whiskies besides Guinness and Jameson. No Irish immigrant bar owner is going to be overly impressed by your Guinness order as happens several times. And I cannot stress this enough and I will shout it from the rooftops: IRISH WHISKEY AND AMERICAN BOURBON ARE NOT THE SAME and a 3 generation pub knows the difference. Padraig and Pop Pop share a Jameson and then Pop Pop, born and raised in Ireland, says to his grandson, whose a professional bartender, "take a drink of that bourbon..." No. Fuck no. No no no no no no no. A thousand times no. Jameson is not bourbon. I'm so spitting mad I want to heave this book back at the author.
The second thing is, I get license. Artistic, author license., but since I actually have an inoperable brain tumor, diagnosed in 2019, that part was pure shit. All the author had to do was call somebody and ask and still would have had a poignant, heartfelt book. Chemo is scary, but doing nothing is scarier. I increased my survival. Treat your cancers, people!!!!!
God, now I need a Bushmills...

Amazing!!!
Ok I loved the Wild Irish series, but this one may be even better!! The first four books knocked my socks off! Each different in their own way, as each character is unique. But the love of the Collins family is unbelievable, their closeness is truly amazing. Honestly with each book I read, I thought that was my favorite, but the stories keep getting better and better.
I do have to say Mari, that I agree with you, Padraig's story was the ultimate love story. I had a feeling it wasn't going to be the ending I wanted. But I took a deep breath and continued on the journey you wrote. It was AMAZING!! I love and hate you for that story!!
Each Collin grandchild is unique and I can't wait to read about the rest of the clan. And Pop pop, he is the glue that keeps them all together. That and his memories of Sunday, and his sage advice.
This series and the Wild Irish series are a must read!!

These are very short romance semi spicy romance stories. I stopped after the box set but I don't think purchasing each one individually is worth it - just not enough in the book to make it worth it. I love the family and that you see the parents for the original wild series pop up. I do a love series, especially when characters overlap. But these were all just ok. Each story is a different theme and that nice but its just ok on all levels. The romance plot is ok, being its kind of quick with not a lot of conflict and easily resolved. The timeline is ok in that all kind of happens super quickly. and the spicy is just ok.

Hooked ok the Collins family
I was hooked after the first one, the second one got better, the third one ripped my heart out and then put it back together, however, the fourth one was good but it had so many grammatical mistakes, it distracted me from the story. This is the reason I gave an overall rating of three stars instead of four. Otherwise, great first four books and I’ve already ordered the fifth.

Wow, lots of surprises in these books. Each one told a completely different story, though with the theme of the love of a big family being very apparent in all. Each character had their own wonderful traits, and I loved how each started with the main character as a child with Pop Pop. I immediately wanted to be in the Collins family, even though I love my own! Well done creating such a fantastic environment the reader could get lost in

Wild Passion - 1 star - I quit this book after just two chapters. TBH, I'm sick to death of all the D/s romances on the market.
Wild Desire - 4 stars
Wild Devotion - 0 stars - I didn't even bother to read this one. I want a HEA, not a story about an h that dies of cancer.
Wild at Heart - 5 stars - I loved everything about this one.
Total - 2.5 stars

Love and family
You will fall in love with the Collins family while a few of them fall in love forever. Mari does not disappoint with this series of family and love and will leave you wanting more. You will laugh, cry and fan yourself with some of the scenes. Can't wait to read the rest of the series.

Absolutely Amazing
Loved the characters, each storyline was amazing. There was romance, drama and some spicy stuff too. Made for a great box set. These are one of those sets once you start reading you can't put it down then when you're almost at the ending you don't want it to end.

Sure there's lots of sexy times but they're held together by surprisingly strong story lines. Interesting characters. A dominance/ submissive thing did feature in a few of the stories. For me personally I'm glad it stayed in the bedroom and wasn't too central in the plot.

I only read the third story. The subject matter of the other three stories didn't interest me. The story was enjoyable but entirely predictable. The author's writing style is good and there were no typographical errors.

These books were amazing. My only issue was the last book in the set had a lot of mistakes. I've come to appreciate this author for her writing both in store and professionalism. This lady book felt rushed and needed some serious grammatical help.

Heartrending yet hopeful reads...
At some point in each of these books I was near or in tears, but each of them also ended happily. I love all of the characters, they feel like family or extended family. Great reads!
