I received a complimentary copy of the set and I am voluntarily reviewing it. I have purchased some of the individual books.
Hold 'Em:
What an intriguing tale this one was. Matthew Shaughnessy is a professional gambler. He wins a high-stake poker game in Vegas. He doesn't just win money though. Cassandra Gardener's father bet her engagement ring and money that he doesn't have. To clear the debt, Cassandra goes to Texas to pose as Matt's fiancee for a week. Matt's grandmother is dying and she wants to see her grandchildren married with a passel of kids. Cassandra is torn as she is already engaged and due to marry in just a matter of days.
What these two go through over the next few days is a tale that shouldn't be missed. This two are highly attracted to each other. Poor Cassandra though, she struggles to stay faithful to her fiance against the highly alluring Matt. Matt on the other hand is struggling to come to terms that he is falling in love with a woman who is forbidden to him.
The story was very well written and flowed nicely. I adored the way the story was written. Not only were the POVs of the two main characters given, but several of the secondary characters as well. I was just sorry to see the story end.
This is a sweet, clean romance. I highly recommend this one to anyone who loves horses, a strong heroine and a cowboy gambler.
Crazy Little Thing Called Love:
This was a great second story of the Shaughnessy children. The first book was wonderful and I hoped that Sophia and Tony's story would live up to Matt and Cassandra's, which I felt it did.
Sophia left for college then took a job in New York far away from the love of her life and the family ranch in Texas. She get a call from Tony, the man that is her soulmate. He wants her to come home to help her brothers. She despairs, that he isn't calling for himself. It has been five years since she left and he never came after her. Tony is ten years older and has a secret. He came to the ranch and worked his way up to foreman. Falling in love with the owner's daughter wasn't in the plan but it happened anyway. He felt that she needed to get away and experience life outside of the ranch. He always hoped that she would come back to him on her own. The road to Sophia and Tony's HEA was a LONG one. I grew frustrated with the both of them at times but it made for a great story.
The plot was a great one and so realistic. The scenes just captured my imagination and kept me glued to my e-reader. I adored the way the author wrote the story with a multiple POV format. It was great to see the many different aspects that were brought to the story in this way. I loved the prior characters making multiple appearances and setting the stage for the third book in this series.
This was a clean romance with a western flare. I would highly recommend this book to anyone. While this could be a stand-alone, I would suggest to start at the beginning to really get a good grasp of the Shaughnessy family interactions.
My Girl:
This was a wonderful conclusion to this series. I couldn't wait to read Aaron's story after some intriguing glimpses from the last book, "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". I read all three of these back to back. I loved how the stories where written.
This series falls the Shaughnessy siblings. All three of the siblings appeared in all of the stories. The two characters that married into the family appeared here as well. The plot here was beautifully written. Miscommunication and Trish's trying to appease her parents interfered with these two several years ago. Trish also reveals a secret that she has kept hidden from Aaron. Can Aaron and Trish reclaim what they once had?
I adored the multiple POV format that the story was written in. The entire series was written in a multiple POV format actually. The siblings really felt real to me this way, almost like they were human. The story was well written and flowed nicely. I was really sorry to see this one end as it was the end of the series.
If you love cowboys, horses and second chances, you will want to read this story. It is a clean romance that I would highly suggest to anyone. While you could just read this one, I would strongly urge to start with book one.

A collection of compassionate love stories, one could call it an epic. You will laugh, get aggravated, tear up, maybe openly cry. You will definitely feel like you are part of the character's lives.
My favorite - A Magical Christmas. A little girl gets lost and magical angels help her out. I highly recommend Married to the Texan box set by Jacquie Biggar.

Second chances at love, rather it came from a poker bet, or a call saying her brothers needed her. Love was rejected the first time, will it come again. The author has given us three stories of romance to enjoy.

I loved this western romance collection that contains 3 novels and a bonus Christmas short story about a Texas Ranch family and how they met the loves of their lives. It's sweet, a little sexy, full of family conflicts and well worth the read.
