Lovable Lawyer Oh my word how I fell in love with Lex, Mia and their amazing group of friends. Be ready for all the fantastic feels in this book. Lex is a cut throat attorney that never thought love or relationships were in the cards for him. Mia is a young mom that is just trying to survive. She has a daily struggle to provide safety and security for her little ones and let me tell you she is one tough young woman. When these two meet it is just kismet. Lex begins to have feelings that he isn't sure how to process and Mia is always waiting for the other shoe to drop. This is a very emotional story that has be crying, cheering and swooning. We are also once again able to get a glimpse into the lives of all of our favorite characters from the past and watch them swoop in and surround this young family with so much love and protection. I absolutely loved their world. Naughty Neuro I am just loving this series ! Bella and Tate have that underlying heat and have been denying the attraction for years. Tate is the quintessential play boy. He is a master in the operating room and the bedroom. A master of his craft as a top neuro surgeon has gained him much recognition in the medical world. His love them and leave them in the bedroom has gained him quite a reputation in the dating world. He has kept one woman at bay all these years. She is his best friends younger sister and off limits. Bella has worked hard to get where she is today and all the rotations, sleepless nights, studying has put her front and center to a fabulous opportunity to shadow and learn from the best......Tate . This couple has a fabulous banter that is fueled by friendship and a past but it soon becomes apparent that they have so much more under the surface. Is it possible to cross the line and have it all!!??They are sweet, funny, lovable and oh so sexy! Gorgeous Gyno Oh how much I loved Matilda and Grayson . Tilly is an event planner that get gets talked into attending a masquerade party in disguise of course. Grayson is a guest that finds a mysterious woman at a party very captivating ! A night of passion with no names soon takes a very different turn. The one night stand becomes the patient! I so enjoyed their supporting cast of characters . This was funny, sweet, steamy and yes a bit of an emotional tear jerker . ~~Michele McMullen ~~
All the best of Karen Deen in one box!Gorgeous Gyno- Gray and Tilly, I want to be in their relationship. This is a fantastic read, you get humor, heat, witty banter and maybe a couple tears. And, what a wonderful cast of characters, their friends and family made it that much better, it was a hard one to put down. Can’t wait to see who else we will get to read about.
Private Pilot- No better way to spend a weekend, reading a smoking hot new read from Karen Deen, how lucky is Paige to have her own drop dead gorgeous pilot. Mason in ex military and private pilot for Paige, who is the CEO of her father’s company. The banter between these two is so much fun, she is so prim and proper and a little stuffy in the beginning, but her attraction to Mason finally gets her to loosen up. We get to catch up with the group from the previous read, Gorgeous Gyno, I loved catching up with Tilly and Grayson.
Naughty Neuro- Karen Deen has done it once again with Naughty Neuro, Tate and Bella’s story is magical. Loving your best friends sister could be a problem, Tate has loved Bella since she was 18, but knew it wasn’t the right time for them. Tate is a cocky but lovable alpha man, and Bella is the book smart, career driven woman, that wants to make it on her own merits, not because of her brother, Gray or Tate. Their chemistry and love for one another is what most of strive for in our relationships. Their story has all the feels, angst, drama, love and lots of sexy time, Ms. Deen sure does turn up the heat in this book. It was also great to catch up with past characters from the other two books in this group. Don’t miss out on Tate and Bella’s story.
Lovable Lawyer- Lex and Mia’s story was such an emotional read, and absolutely amazing. Karen Dean has such a gift of writing these stories that you feel deep down in your soul, and Lovable Lawyer is probably my favorite of all her books. Mia is a strong mother to Jack and Kayla, running from her past, hoping to make a better life for her and her kids. In comes Lex, you knew from past books, his life wasn’t the best either. Don’t get me wrong he could have anything he wanted, but he just wanted to be loved. They were such a wonderful couple, their banter once Mia felt comfortable was so sweet, a slow burn friends to lovers book. Learning that DNA doesn’t always make a family, Mia comes to find out there are good men in the world. Can’t wait to see who’s next, whoever it is, it’s gonna be a bumpy ride.
The f**kalicious four in one box set what’s not to love - 4 great stories about a group of young professionals based around 4 hot, successful, playboys who get tamed when they find ‘their one’ Sassy female. Full of banter and challenges but With all the feels resulting in sizzling scenes and HEA. Gorgeous Gyno - Grayson what more could a girl want, swoon worthy, great banter with him and Tilly in their love story. Private Pilot - Mason and Paige both with their own demons, fighting their attraction due to their employee/employer relationship until boom they can’t keep their hands off each other. Naughty Neuro - my favourite of the four ... full on alpha hiding behind his facade of the love em n leave em type when actually he gave his heart away to ‘his Tinkerbella’ years ago .. but she was out of bounds being his best mates little sister. A closet romantic until they finally give in to their desires .... swoon! Loveable Lawyer - A different take on the other FF boys stories, Lex has so much control he really doesn’t let out his full on alpha tendencies. WhoEver said wishing on a star doesn’t make dreams come true, has never lived a life like Mia. Omg that ending had me in tears .... serious heart felt words wrapping up the entire story
Gorgeous Gyno Another fabulous story. Loved how the universe kept throwing them together and they chemistry they had together. Great sex scenes that truly sizzled! I also enjoyed the "dates" that they each did, totally entertaining. Private Pilot I absolutely LOVED it! The characters were great and fun and the storyline had so much going on that it held my interest at every page. Naughty Neuro Bella is such a sweetie but also not someone to mess with. Tate is utterlyswoonworthy. This story made me laugh and it also made me cry, it just had all the feels! I totally loved this story and of course loved the other characters popping in at times. Lovable Lawyer This is the story of the last FF man, Lex. Lex found himself wanting more than his friends with benefits hookups after seeing his best mates all find love. Then suddenly his world is thrown into a spin when he meets Mia and her kids. This is a story about family, and it is more than blood bonds that tie these men and their women together. There's learning to trust and to believe in yourself and your worthiness, there's love and of course some sizzling action. Overall this is a beautiful story.
This is four books in one which are each available separately. They are individual stories but I would advise reading them all in order as the characters appear in each and their lives are interwoven. Four gorgeous and successful men with huge egos who met their soulmates. Gorgeous Gyno is Grayson Garrett and Matlida's story, in Private Pilot we learn more about Captain Mason White, and Paige Ellen, Naughty Neuro is the journey of Tate McIntyre and Arabella Grayson,and yes she is related to Garrett so be ready for s bumpy road and finally Lovable Lawyer in which we see a much softer side of Alexander Jefferson the third and learn more about Mia. Put Fleur, Hannah, Daisy and of course Memphis in the mix and watch these four men soften by extremely strong women who make them smile and teach them how to love. These are the stories of four FF boys and the awesome women that put up with them
Four stories in one box: love it. Gorgeous Gyno is the story about Gray and Tilly. I love the banter between these two, and how their love story evolves. Private Pilot gives us the start of the romance between Mason and Paige. As an ex-military, Mason has trouble getting over his past. But Paige becomes the center of his life, and she’s the one who can help him overcome. Naughty Neuro: Tate and Bella’s story. Falling for your best friend little sister, not such a good idea, but you can’t help who you fall for. Lovable Lawyer: a heartbreaking story for Lex and Mia, growing up in difficult circumstances. But realizing blood isn’t everything. You can choose your own f(r)amily.
All these books take you on an emotional rollercoaster. Karen Deen breaks you heart into a hundred thousand pieces, but glues it back together at the end. All the books are standalone books, but it’s best to read them in order as the characters make appearances in all the books.
Gray, Tate, Mason & Lex are four best friends that each have a unique story of how they meet there better halves. Gray and Tilly's story was a sweet crossing of paths and kept interconnecting so ment to meet regardless of there journey. Mason & his boss paige had an instant connection which lead them on a crazy ride, Tate and Bella a best friends sister romance a love that had been in the making for years and finally Lex and mia this was a finding one's self after different starts in life and being the home for the other. These where all captivating storyline with intriguing characters and this world builder just grew and the characters developed through out. I would love to see some spin off of some of the other characters that also help create the framily. A truly incredible read.
I really enjoyed the first 2 books in this series, would've said 5 had it stopped there. The characters were great with good storylines and plenty of romance. Then things started to go south, it seemed the stories started to repay from previous ones. The end of Gray son's story was a lovely HEA bit in book 3 his romance began again. By book 4 , Lex, who was the !east likeable of the 4 had a rushed hasty storyline with constant whining and buckets of rears. I rushed as well skipping much of it. I felt the introduction of a new character, Ashton was unnecessary as was inserting abuse and violence., that and the market lady predicting the future was lame to me.
My second Karen series in a month. That's good for me especially when that's 9 books!! That's credit to all these books and The way they are written. The Chicago boys are hot, dedicated to their jobs and as a group of guys hilarious!! Dad joked at their best. The women are strong, gorgeous and just as funny, each have their own stories and crave understanding, protection and love, I can't think of a better group of men to give them what they need. I have to say that Lex and Mia brought me to my knee's. This beautiful couple had so many struggles to overcome I actually thought they wouldn't make it. What a book, what a series!
Loved this box set so much. The love, the friendships and support they all give each other is so heartwarming.
I loved the fact they call themselves framily, that was so cute.
The stories and characters are interwoven throughout the box set which has been done so well, not many authors get this right but Karen definitely did.
The characters are just so different yet loveable and their bonds unbreakable. Some great topics were covered in the books in a sensitive manner which was wonderful to read. Especially in the book about Lex.
HEAs came too easy. Grayson & Tilly. Too fast but maybe not since they ran into each other multiple times. Mason & Paige. The whole boss thing. Paige barely put up a fight and couldn’t read anyone around her so how could she know Mason was flirting with her? Tate & Bella. That was a given. One of your friends will always fall for your sister. Lex & Mia. That was a given too. He was wound way too tight and her drama filled life was right on time to knock him down.
The “Fuckalicious Four” are an amazing group of friends who keep each other grounded with their constant banter. They all have this smart mouth, but most importantly they love each other dearly. These four men would protect each other like crazy and can always count on them to be there. As they all lead busy lives, they make sure to meet up once a week for a scheduled game of basketball.
But this box set is not just about their friendship, but how they get to meet the love of their lives.
Loved this series. I read it in four days. I felt like I was a part of this close "family" at the end of the first book. Of course they all found their HEAs but not always as easily as they could have. This was my first introduction to Karen Deen's writing and I really enjoyed it. The stories were not as predictable as many romance novels. Lots of surprising twists. Enjoy. I'm off to check out her other books.
PS. I'm still hoping for Deven, Ashton and Fleur's stories.
What a wonderful set of books. The characters came to life so vividly, felt as if you were part of the framily. Much if the time i had a silly big grin on my face at the silly banter which was so true to life , only to find myself mopping up tears the next minute. First books I have read from this author, Karen Deen will certainly be on my list of must read books.
Fear series of4 books based on a group of 4 school mates band their loved ones my favourite book 4 lexi and Mia 2 souls both working through difficult situations but realising they have chemistry plenty of love great laughs. You will love the framily I hope Ashton gets his book and we get insight finishing reuniting with her husband and meeting the rest of the gang
What’s not to love with this box set, you get four hot men, four sassy women and enough heat and steam to have the pages ignite. These four stories are packed with passion, witty banter, drama and will have you captivated right to the very end. Be prepared for one huge book hangover as you dive into this box set but believe me it will be worth it.
This whole series is absolutely wonderful! The four books aye so full of heart, love and devotion. The banter between all the characters is an added bonus. This final story about Lex and Mis is simply stunning with all the emotion and tenderness that will captivate your heart.A must read!
What an enjoyable collection of stories. Great friends since they were 14 years old these four men grew into the "Fu%&@luscious Four". Each story has intertwined storylines that keeps you in touch with all the characters during each man's life. From an OB\GYN, to a Neuro surgeon to a pilot and a lawyer. What a fun experience to be had by all.
A series of books that takes you fully through the journey of each story. The people are so real with life and all it throws at you. The ups and downs are incredible with each boy and girl. It even brought a tear to my eyes. A must read for every who has that love in their heart!
My first time reading this author & I loved her characters and this set of stories. Each book focuses on one of the four Chicago friends and their search for love, their growing group of friends and loved ones, and their experiences that overlap throughout the set. Lots of drama, plenty of sexy times, and charming HEAs.
I loved everything about these books. It was enough comedy, suspense, love, emotions and drama. I love the framily vibes. I hope I get to see the kids studs they older. I need more of this family.
I really enjoyed reading this series it made me laugh out loud not a lot of books do that but these guys are so funny together , I loved the fun side to them & the serous of their jobs .
Loved all 4 stories included with this boxset. The “FF” boys were aptly named with hearts of gold and smokin’ hot bodies. The witty banter and strong bond between all the characters kept you entertained from the beginning to end. It was a great read. I would highly recommend.
Love the stories of how this clan found love...made me cry sometime and then I could not stop laughing.. Tate story was the most interesting one but then Lex story made you know the home is really where the heart is when falling in love.
Four friends and there journey in life in finding true love.They protect each other the women they love and there friends.This set includes each of there stories Gyno,pilot,Neuro and the lawyer.They will touch your heart and have you giggling at times.A must read
I absolutely loved these books, i couldn't put them down, they made me laugh and cry and i fell in love with the characters. I was sad for the end and would love to know about the other characters Fleur and Ashton.
What a great set of stories. I so enjoyed getting to know each of the framily! These guys and the women that love them make my heart warm. The love they each fins and how they find it are each so romantic and sweet. Great investment in reading time!
This set was great. Each book was very entertaining and love how they all coincide yet are their own stories. They mostly run simultaneously but still better to read in order for flow.
Four complete stories about four men and the women that stole their hearts.. If you like HEA these books are for you. Loved everyone of them. By the way Karen you live in my home town, i call its Gods Country.
The main characters are so childish. The grammar is horrible too. I kept putting the book down and trying to pick it up again, but I just couldn’t get into it. I felt no chemistry with the characters. DNF the first book, and didn’t try any of the others.
