This bundle includes The Billionaire Bride, The Temporary Bride, and The Scottish Bride
The Billionaire Bride It’s not easy being the woman most likely to be married to a fortune hunter, but Kate Von Lichtenstein has a plan to deter even the most determined gold digger. She’ll take a page right out of her favorite historical romance novel—with her own unique spin—and marry a man of her choosing before the public gets wind of how much money she actually inherited from her grandparents. And who fits the bill better than the sexy and charming American businessman, Noah Sawyer?
After selling his share of the successful tech company, Noah Sawyer lost everything when an unscrupulous real estate lawyer stole the money he intended to use to purchase a huge swath of land worth millions. So, when a chance meeting with a hot brunette at a friend’s wedding turns into a mutually beneficial business arrangement, Noah jumps at the chance to salvage his business.
However, the sexy land developer has no intention of his marriage to Kate being in name only…
The Temporary Bride Haven Crawford needs a husband—but only temporarily—in order to keep her grandparents’ inn in the family. But, the last person she’d ask to help is her childhood enemy, Heath Ambrose. Unfortunately, he’s the only one she can trust to keep his promise to divorce her and not take the inn when he leaves.
Star catcher, Heath Ambrose needs relief from his meddling mother and the jet-set lifestyle that accompanies his sudden rise to fame as the face of the newest national baseball team, the Greenville Pirates. As the last single Ambrose sibling, his mother is determined to marry Heath off, but he’s not ready to settle down. Especially not after watching the woman he loved run off to Scotland with another man. So when Haven proposes, Heath jumps at the chance for some peace in his life.
Only a temporary marriage to Haven is anything but peaceful—not to mention that they can’t keep their hands off one another. But, when the will’s conditions have been fulfilled and baseball season starts up again, will Heath and Haven be able to say goodbye when hate turns to love?
Or can temporary turn into forever?

I can think of only two reasons an author would publish a badly edited book. Either s/he never bothered to learn grammar, punctuation and vocabulary and does not recognize a charlatan posing as an , or s/he was too cheap, too broke, or to arrogant to hire one.
I enjoyed reading these stories dry much. They were interesting ,humorous, and intertaning. I felt the author kept the ams thread through out the 3 stories. The love felt with the couples was deeply felt. I look forward to reading other books by this author in the future. She is entertaining and knowledgeable.
Cute, short love stories. The first two books were definitely my favorite and better written. The third one seemed rushed and very short. I liked that even though the first two stories were short they had a lot of detail about the characters. I think that is what was messing from the third story. Overall a nice read.
This “collection” made no sense. It’s like they wanted to make something that if you had read all the different series before would make sense. I have not so there was no reasoning behind the series. Where does this take place? What are these peoples connections? The third story truly does not make sense in timing. So much jumping forward. Every chapter seems to be four months later.
This has three sets of marriage of convenience settings. Each one has a family tie to Holland Springs. Each is a standalone story. But each has characters in each that are connected to make it all interconnected. I enjoyed the fast read each one was light in the drama.
This bundle of books was great. Every book was a standalone & complete. Every story was great. They kept your interest & the stories were so good you didn't want to put t in em down.
The editing of this book when downhill with each story. Nothing hangs together to make sense. The detailed sex scenes were totally unneeded and did nothing to add to the stories. Someone who likes pornography will enjoy reding this
All three stories carry deep secrets, deep love and marriage. Convenience, True love and Obsession. Kate and Noah, Haven and Heath, Cadence and Maddox will set your heart aflutter.
I haven't read this author before. I didn't think the series were cohesive enough. There was 10 years between the 2nd and 3rd books. Overall good stories. Also, didn't have a lot to do with Holland Springs.
3 short stories, a really easy read. They were cute but not a whole lot of substance since they were so short. The third one was definitely the worse of them all. Overall - eh. I think they were decent stories and could actually be good books if the story was developed more.
Each of the stories bring true love through some f the hardest times. Each couple had to fight either their family, past hurts and realizing that they loves each other.
Three sweet but quick stories. Compelling characters, some steamy romance, and a connected world. I did get confused from time to time, but overall enjoyed the tales.
This book has too many grammatical errors. Where was the editor? Also, the author has no idea what it is to be part of European royalty. Very silly read.
Enjoyed the characters & the writing style. Fun when the characters continue through the family. I would have liked a little more following the original characters.
I have followed the Holland Springs series from the very beginning. Every book has something special to offer and will pull at your heart strings as they make you laugh and open the mind to the unexpected possibilities. Along with teaching the value of life, love, family and my favorite small town living. I am so in love with this series.
Rose and Sasha of Third Times the Charm are my favorite. Their story teaches that love can conquer anything. Even the gossips, naysayers and venomous snakes in the world.
My second is a three way tie between Twice Tempted, Be Mine and Just Desserts. Between sexy twins who are royalty by birth with star quality, a Scottish Duke and the small town women who capture their hearts, fairy tales and fantasies don't seem so far away with these emotional reads.
This is a great way to get started with the Holland Springs Series. I love the quirky southern town and its inhabitants. Once start reading about the Holland Springs inhabitants, you can’t stop.
