Times Like These

An enemies-to-lovers rock star romance

Nick Fletcher, lead singer of Blue is the Color, has the voice of a god and a tongue sharper than a knife. Dalia Brenner dislikes him instantly, but she's stuck sleeping three feet away from him all summer on his tour bus.

Dalia has plans for her life once this tour is over, and none of them involve being a rock star's girlfriend. Too bad Nick Fletcher disagrees.

Watch Me Unravel

A second chance romance

David Wiesel lives for making music, partying, and women. Sylvia Price lives for her daughter, theater, and teaching.

One drunken night when they were teenagers left them irrevocably bound. Fifteen years later, an accident brings them back together and there is no denying the heat that scorched them when they were young is still there, sparking between them.

While David is more than willing to stoke those flames, Sylvia is afraid this time, the fire will burn her right to the ground.

Such Great Heights

A forbidden friends-to-lovers romance

To Jasper, Malka is his best friend's on-again, off-again girlfriend. To Malka, Jasper is the squeaky clean bassist in her ex's band.

One night fueled by grief and alcohol changes it all. They finally see each other for who they really are and a connection is uncovered between them that can't be denied.

Even though it should be, since not denying it could destroy everything.

Under the Bridge

A quirky slow-burn romance

When Ian rescues his new next-door neighbor, Valentina, he becomes her hero, a title he doesn’t want. The girl, though? He can’t seem to stop wanting her, even though the last thing he’s looking for is a relationship.

The trouble is, Valentina is seeking adventure, and the tall, tattooed drummer next door looks like the exact type of adventure she’s been waiting for.

Of course, I've read alllll about these wonderfully tempting Blue boys before!! Julia Wolf's writing is to die for and these books contain some of my favorite and most memorable characters of hers.

So, when I received this early copy of a new boxed set with all four books together in one yummy place, reliving a much loved guilty pleasure seemed like the perfect idea for my weekend plans. It had a been a while since those gorgeous Blue is the Color guys and their special ladies first stole my heart!

Besides the addition of brand new, 'down the road', smile inducing epilogues for each of these guys along with a sweet, extra little 'sumpin', sumpin' at the end, I am a sucker for the kind of stories that Julia Wolf writes so well.

These books highlight the up and down journey of hilarious lifelong best friends, who know each other soooo well and feel like family while rocking the house down! They are a swoonworthy bunch of guys, sexy as hell that, without any doubt, steam up the pages of these stories. Those four gorgeous guys who make up the band, Blue is the Color, have been riding this wave of stardom for so many years now- helped each other through some of the hardest times and rejoiced in the successful ones. BUT, experiencing them all together has always been the best of times for them.

What a fun way to spend a few days, gobbling up these hot rockers who'll make your heart flutter madly as you dig alittle deeper into Blue. Buckle up for a wild ride as Nick, David, Jasper and Ian blow up their crazy worlds, find the loves of a lifetime and get rewarded with their own HEA's between the pages of this bingeworthy new boxed set while setting your heart on fire in the process.

This boxed set has it all with a superb writing style, engaging storylines, swoon worthy rockstars, and feisty heroines. One of the things that I love about this author is her ability to write engaging rockstar romances that don’t involve your stereotypical playboy rockers. Rather she creates affable characters who are not without their flaws and whose circumstances & personalities are unique. Thus crafting entertaining stories with a heroes & heroines that you cannot help but love.

If you’ve already read this author’s Blue is the Color novels, you will be thrilled with the epilogues as well as a surprise short story about 2 of the secondary characters that have made appearances throughout the series. If you are new to this author, then you are in for a treat! Be prepared to forgo sleep as once you crack open the pages, you will not want to put it down!

Times Like These:
This is the enemies-to-lovers story of lead singer Nick and the spunky Dalia. I couldn’t help but adore Dalia as she is full of fire & sass, but also insightful. Nick had hidden depths to him. The two have great chemistry & there were some steamy scenes that nearly caused my kindle to catch fire.

Watch Me Unravel:
This is the second chance romance between David and Sylvia. Sylvia is a strong character and the author does a thorough job illustrating her conflicting feelings of resentment & love towards David. Even though he has made some mistakes, David is such a lovable guy & has his redeeming qualities. Sparks fly between these two in this beautiful romance.

Such Great Heights:
This forbidden romance features Jasper and Malka. The author beautifully highlights the gravitational pull between them and I enjoyed witnessing their journey towards HEA. Jasper is endearing and Malka is a vibrant heroine, but also has a complexity about her that I found interesting.

Under the Bridge:
This slow burn romance is about drummer Ian and the quirky Valentina. It is perhaps my favorite book in the entire series. I adored both characters and found them relatable.

If you are looking for the perfect read then this boxed set of the Blue is the Color series is a definite must read!

Oh, boy. Four of my favorite angry, complicated, moody, loving rock stars in one place? I’m in. Add Hiro finding his, some awesome epilogues, and a little bit of bittersweetness upon realizing that yes, this series is truly complete, and I couldn’t put it down all over again. Ian is still my favorite, even though he was SUCH a spectacular deebasaurus at times, but his camaraderie with the kids of the band melted my heart.

Even if you’ve read all four stories separately, this is a must-read because of how we get to catch up with the couples of Blue is the Color and we see that their family by choice is still gong strong. Yet again, Julia hit it out of the park with these glimpses into their post-wild days lives!

Of course I have loved these boys since day one but now you get them all together in one set!

Times Like These:
Wow! Just... wow... This book, I LOVED these two, so perfect, like TEXTBOOK enemies to lovers right here, other authors should be taking notes. Exceptional characters, could not get enough of Dalia and her antics, and Nick, broody rocker with an edge, I ate this book up! Devoured each and every word only putting it down when life had to rear its ugly head (and luckily today it kept itself to a minimum). Great meet, wonderful story line, conflict, angst, super steamy, great background characters, can't wait for more, this author is killing it!

Watch Me Unravel:
This author is CRUSHING it! Seriously, she's one to watch I've enjoyed every one of her books and with each one it seems she gets just that much better.
David and Sylvia's story was just perfect for them. They overcame all kinds of hurdles to get to each other (hurdles they put in their own path much of the time) and really proved that sometimes maybe people are meant for each other in their own time. We change, we grow, as we live through each life experience, sometimes we need those changes to get out of our own way. I think this book beautifully illustrates that growth.
I loved that Sylvia had an edge to her. I loved that David had always had the wrong opinion of her. The musical angle was also a big draw for me. Emma was a good addition as well. Just overall such a unique and touching book. I devoured each and every word.

Such Great Heights:
As I said before, this author is one to watch! She just knows how to make characters so swoony and perfect for one another, its so fun to watch it all unfold. Jasper and Malka have the best journey! I love the bad girl/good guy pairing and these two were so amazing together. I adored and savored every word never wanting it to end!

Under The Bridge:
So unbelievably great! I loved this (much deserved) HEA for often misunderstood Ian and his quirky little Valentina Moon! I loved every part of their journey, my favorite parts were Val being her adorkable self and Ian reconciling his feelings with himself and with his friends, which was just as important as the budding romance. It was sweet and gritty and raw and wonderful all at once and I loved every minute of it. It can be read as a stand alone but I really urge readers to get all the Blue is The Color books as each couple has their own nuances and perfect for them stories that are as heart warming to read as they are hot! Honestly this author knocks it out of the park on every level.

Its so great to catch up with the gang in the bonus epilogues and I hope we get glimpses of them in this author's future work.

An amazing series all grouped together in a fantastic boxset. I loved each of these stories in different ways although they are all incredible and have amazing storylines that kept me interested in and wanting more of the characters once their story was done. I highly recommend that you read this series.

The push and pull of Delia and Nick was yummy. You have Nick who is this cocky jerk with the voice of a gravely sounding angel. Delia is a sassy, tell it like it is, free spirit. They don't like each other but are in close quarters for two months, and the sexual tension is fantastic. I love the interaction between all the characters in this book. Everyone has baggage and scars, but they are their own little family on the road. Need more, please.

Watch Me Unravel (2)
This book was such an easy read for me. It kept my attention from start to finish. David was a jerk but he loved his daughter. I just don't know if he knew how to fully be present. I think he needed to not only find balance, but to grow up. I think Sylvia needed a partner, and not just a support system to lean on. She had to grow up fast, and wanted to do things her way. I think they both needed to let go and trust.

Such Great Heights (3)
I've been wanting to learn more about both Jasper and Malka and was looking forward to reading their story. It was slightly forbidden as she was involved with his bandmate/friend. But the relationship was created organically. They were friends helping each other through tough times, and it was a nice slow burn. The lines might have been slightly blurred, but I really didn't think they were. I think they were perfect for each other.

Under the Bridge (4)
Ian was a hard guy to understand, but I think he got my respect when he asked Valentina what she preferred to be called, not what her friends called her. This book didn't take an easy path. I think Ian figured he would fail, and so he did at times. But in his way he also did little things for Valentina that meant the world. I love that Ian's friends/bandmates stepped in for him when he wasn't sure what to do. Valentina was good for him. I loved that she was creative and talkative, yet able to listen to what Ian wanted to say when he couldn't figure it out. She was creative, self sufficient and a little nerdy. I think those of us that feel we may a little weird sometimes can hope to find someone to understand and maybe relate to us, and that could lead to love. This story is one example of that.

Extras:
I loved getting to see Melly and Hiro find each other. They are each others' missing pieces. It was a insta-fall, and I loved it. I also loved visiting the boys of Blue is the Color some time later. It was almost like a family reunion.

I have previously read all of Julia Wolf’s Blue is the Color books before the release of this box set, but when ‘bonus content’ was mentioned, you can bet I clicked “pre-order” straight away. Yes, these books are that good!

This series is packed full of emotion, heat, humour, heart-wrenching angst and well developed, relatable and compelling characters. These books are a must-have for any fan of contemporary romance, rock star romance or fans of a well-written, page turning story.

Each of the books is a standalone but are much better read as a series and in order. The books follow the lives of a group of male best friends who are in a world-famous rock band together. Each book centres on a different member of the band and the individual challenges they face navigating normal life, rock star life and their love life.

Reading each one of these books, I fell in love with the characters, particularly the current male protagonist. I would find myself thinking “he’s definitely my favourite, he’s just so… {insert hot, sexy, caring, swoony, sigh-worthy}” and then I’d read the next book and fall in love all over again. Why can’t we bring our book boyfriends to life??

Even if you’ve read these books separately the box set is still worth owning as the bonus content is amazing, giving us a look into each of the couples lives years ahead, and the short story featuring Hiro and Melly is just so beautiful and swoony. I don’t know how Julia manages to convey so much feeling in so few words, but this story is just gorgeous, and I had a huge smile on my face the whole time I was reading it.

Julia Wolf is an incredibly talented author and I recommend this set to anyone who wants a good book or series to read.

It is a real treat to have “Blue Is the Color” book set! Each story is unique. The scenes are steamy with unforgettable characters. It has all 4 band member's books all in one place! But the fun really begins when you read the bonus epilogues about what has taken place 7 years since the first “Blue is the Color” book “Times Like These”. The characters that had children, the couple who decided not to have children, but to only barrow their band mates’ kiddos to love on and give back on as need basis. The real surprise was the “short bit” about Mellie, Dalia’s sister, and her meeting a man that will become her whole world. The collection is epic! I have re-read the series twice, and I know that will not be the last time.

It’s no question that I love this series by Julia Wolf. Never has a group of fictional people stuck with me so strongly, but I love the boys in this band so much. When I heard that Julia was releasing a box set with new epilogues so we could check in on the crew I knew it was a must buy for me! The added epilogues did not disappoint and hit me right in my feels from the first sentence. If anything they left me wanting more, but let’s be honest I’m always going to want more of these rock stars.

She also included a brand new short story about a couple of side characters that you meet in the series and I absolutely loved it. It was short, sweet and to the point. Definitely made me want to read more about their lives together though. ;)

You just have to get this box set. It is so great. I have read each of these books in the box set and found them to be great. Each book is about a member of the band Blue is the colour. Each book tells of their personal struggle for love and life and how they relate to each other. They are fantastic books, so well written and personable. Very easy to read and believe me once you get started, you won't want to put them down.

This was a great box set of stories about rockstars in a band that find love with women that they are working with or have met. Each book has its own storyline and wonderful characters as they find themselves working together and getting closer. Or they had been together years ago and running into each other again. Each couple has their own journey to get to their HEA but the journey is worth it! I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

I love that Julia Wolf decided to make all of the Blue is the Color books available in a boxset and add all new epilogues. These books are amazing and so worth the read. Each book follows a member of the band and are full of undeniable chemistry, heartbreaking angst, and so many feels. You won’t want to miss this fantastic boxset!!

Read how the boys of Blue are brought to their knees by the women that rock their world more than the music ever could. Each story draws you deeper into their lives as each member of the band fights their own demons to find true love. This special box set includes a new novella and new epilogues that give you the glimpse into the future. Trust me after you fall in love with these flawed yet swoony men you will be hungry for more and grateful you don't have to wait.

Rockstar romance at it’s finest

All of these books are so well written, with well developed heroes, heroines and secondary characters. There is humor, romance, steamy times but each book also has a deeper issue that has to be worked through. I have read these books multiple times and highly recommend them. The bonus materials in this boxed set are absolutely amazing! If you’ve read the Blue is the Color series, you need the bonuses!

A series of book following the members of rock band Blue is the Color as each of them fall in love. Each book gets better and better. As an added bonus for the box set, you get extra epilogues at the end of the series, catching up with the couples and their families after 6, 7, 8, and 9 years together. Not to missed series!

An exceptional collection of all of these heart warming stories from Julia Wolf and her Blue is the Color world. The men of the band are swoon worthy and will capture your heart. While the women are sassy independent... they totally give the men a run for their money. Great read.

Blue is the color of a four book collection of the band of the same name and it’s members and how they each fall. All the stories contain angst, growth and a whole lotta steam. Complicated, we see how it’s never easy.

Fantastic book set!! I highly recommend this series, but you definitely need to read all the books for it to make sense. There's no cliffhangers, but I wouldn't recommend reading them out of order. I especially enjoyed the extra Epilogues at the end to see what all our favorite characters were up to 7, 8, and 9 years later.

Times Like These
I was hooked on this book as soon as I started reading it. I'm not a fan of the c-word, but I understand why the author used it. I love the character development and how they worked through their problems after breaking up. Great book and awesome supporting characters as well. I can't wait to read the next book.

Watch Me Unravel
This was an okay book, but definitely not my favorite. I prefer the previous book in the series to this one. David and Shelby went back and forth between guarded/hating each other to hot and heavy hooking up so fast it made me dizzy. I can absolutely see David as having a teenage daughter and living the rockstar lifestyle with parties and hookups, but Shelby's backstory surprised me. She went from nice girl, to bad girl, then guarded so fast throughout the book. This couple had a lot of secrets to work out. I also was not a fan of how David blamed his freakouts on his constant anxiety. He said he was seeing a therapist for so long, yet was never given any techniques to work through that anxiety or help with the loneliness; it took for his own mother to sit down, teach him yoga and breathing exercises before he found relief. I just wasn't a huge fan.

Such Great Heights
This was a good book and I really like seeing Jasper get his happy ending, but I hate what they did to Ian. Being in Malka's position is hard (having been with one guy then falling in love with his best friend later), but it never goes well keeping that secret as long as they did. They learned by the pain it caused. I loved Malka's back story.

Under the Bridge
This might be my favorite book of the series. Ian and Valentina are amazing. I love their connection and hearing both of their backstories. This really brought Ian's story to light for me and makes me want to read the series again to see him in a new light. This was a great read and I love seeing how the characters interact. The fact that the band made up and were by Ian's side when he needed them the most, but weren't afraid to tell him when to get over himself was great.

With A Girl Like Her

This was a great novella to wrap up the series and show us what was going on with Melly. I love seeing the quick romance of Melly and Hiro. Though the story is short, it was great!

These are the stories of the four band members of Blue is the colour and the women who turned their worlds on it's heads. These men have known each other for years and are family but they needed these women to complete them bond all of them together forever. All of their stories are intertwined and also have characters from some of the author's other books. These are wonderful, heartfelt and such emotional stories with wonderful character. Well worth the read which shows again why Julia is one of my favourite authors. I received an ARC copy and am leaving a voluntary review.

Loved this

This 4 book collection of Blue is the Color was my intro to Julia Wolf. I absolutely loved this collection. The characters were so deeply explored, their vulnerabilities so evident and it all worked so well together. This collection contained a short story which was beautifully written and contained epilogues for all of the characters. I loved all of the books and can’t decide who my favorites are. It depends on the day! These stories were so well written. I can’t wait to read more by her.
