Expanding the Definition of Friendships
It took one night to change and expand the definitions of their friendships forever. It all started that One Summer.
When I first read the series, I didn't realize that some of the characters crossed over from a prior series. Honestly, that just made the whole thing hotter for me. There was one thing that I liked and disliked at the same time. There are multiple POVs for each book that change between books. It keeps things interesting but, at the same time, I missed hearing the POVs of the prior book's characters. Like I said, liked and disliked.
What starts as two couples who met years prior while vacationing at the same place expands to include some other trusted friends and strangers who quickly become very close, very personal friends that lead them on down a path of wonderous discovery. The stories are erotic. By book three, they also become a tad bit complicated. If you are open to mixing it up with other couples in a variety of combinations, public encounters, and just plain HOT, HOT times, this series is definitely a read for you. I can't wait to see what comes next from Anna Ellis.

More Emotional Than Sexual
I’ll admit upfront that this review will not be able to adequately address the full scope of this series. But here goes anyway.
OMG! What a marathon of emotional entanglements. Mixed with a little sex here and there.
Two couples, Basil and Jasmine and Billy and Claire, along with recently divorced Matt, all close friends for years, go on vacation together. Unknown to them the resort is for swingers. One thing leads to another, yada yada yada, and the swapping begins.
This series is primarily an in-depth study of the emotional attachments between the characters. Jasmine has unrequited love for Matt. Claire feels more in tune with Basil than her own husband. Emily, Matt’s new girlfriend, wants to rekindle what she and Billy had many years ago. And oh yah, a couple more swingers are thrown in to accommodate the required matches. The characters are all somewhat likable, except for Jasmine, who I think is a cheater waiting for an opportunity. The three books are alternately narrated by the three couples.
Yes, there are sexual hookups, but they are basically just a sideshow to all the emotional drama. The story is just three stars for me but a fourth star to recognize the author’s Herculean effort. It is well written.
If you like good character development and a deep dive into emotional drama, then you should enjoy this one. Just strap in for a long ride.

Once is never enough
This collection consists of three books: One Summer, One Week, and One Night. I seriously had to compose myself after finishing them, to put my thoughts and opinions down…I couldn’t believe how ridiculously turned on I was! This collection essentially follows two main couples – Jasmine and Basil, and Claire and Billy. Then there are their friends Matt and Emmy, and their new swinging friends Carson and Wyatt, and Morena and Jed, and a sneaky side performance from Coulter. Mexico seems even more enticing now ;)
It’s a series of stories that is bound to test marriages, friendships, trust, honesty and so very many thoughts and ideas about passion, love, lust and s3x. I had no idea what was involved in this lifestyle, but it’s certainly intriguing and makes you reconsider what and how you feel about a lot of different things. I blushed and smirked, laughed out loud, sighed and well… groaned a lot!
I was sad to see the third book end when and how it did because it felt incomplete. Really though, I just wanted more. I crave more now! What have you done to me Anna?! I give this collection of books four and three quarter swinging stars. And I can’t wait to read even more of the author’s work!

It all starts with one little vacation and oh boy is it a story to tell
One - The Collection contains the 3 books of this series -
1. One Summer
2. One Week
3. One Night
Be warned that you have to read this series in order as it is a continuing story-line and characters. Also be prepared as this series is all about couples swinging and how one couple takes a vacation with their friends at a resort. The only things is that the resort is not just your normal one with a spa and golf. Nope this one is a swingers resort which they ware not aware of beforehand. So now what do they do but push the boundary of their marriages and not just lay around in the sun.
This is a real steamy and erotic series which delivers in spades as your Kindle will be smoking. The story-line itself is nicely plotted and interesting and the characters are fun.

This bundle of stories was so hot. It is all about swingers and the adventures they go through and their mental states while going through those things, so if that is not your thing I would definitely not read this bundle. I enjoyed all the characters in the story appreciated how each had different feelings about engaging in these wild acts with their friends and loved ones. I also liked how the books contained POV's from different characters so the reader could tell what was going through the characters mind even when they weren't vocal about it. The steaminess of the stories was off the charts and I am hoping that maybe Anna will write more stories including these same characters in the future.

This is the complete collections of three novella length erotic stories featuring partner swapping. As with everything else I have read by the author, the stories are well written, easy to read and very steamy. The characters are also well developed and realistic, which makes the entire scene come together. The characters all have good chemistry, but the question is always will it change things for our couples. We get lots of steam and an overall enjoyable read, but you will have to read the collection to answer that big question.
Highly recommended.

Loved the books they were great, the stories were written well and the characters were intriguing. Loved the story about Jasmine and Basil's holiday at the resort, they did not know about the swingers party. It was hot and steamy, arousing, adrenalin pumping, sexually arousing, pleasure, lust and then a continuation of their holidays in Mexico for the week with some friends to continue with the swingers party. It was just as hot the friction of body parts to start a fire in the lower region, the sexual arousal building towards the fourth of July explosion.

This book collection is amazing and I would give it 100 stars if I could. I read all three books in one go because the writing flowed and it was so easy to read. I just loved the characters in their own way and how they reacted to each other, the author really makes you feel like they are real people you might know. This collection is filled with laughs, drama, twists and turns, plus, if you enjoy steamy and passionate parts... you are in for a treat. I was gutted when I finished the final book because I was enjoying it so much, I will be definitely checking out this authors other work!

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. This set includes One Summer, One Week and One Night. They should be read in order to follow the storyline. It all starts when one couple explore the boundaries of their marriage when they mistakenly end up at a swingers resort. Things heat up from there with old friends and new friends. If this genre interests you, these stories made for a good read

A good bundle of novellas that follows a group of friends into the territory of wife swapping/swinging. By book 3 the couple push the envelope of their marriages into relationship territory. It complicates due to individuals catching feelings, and other individuals having been in love with a partner previously. The stories are well written and are from multiple p.o.v's, but I'm on the fence of actually liking them due to relationship conflicts brought into the stories.

This contains three novella about swinging. They have been going to the resort in Mexico. All the stories have Jasmine and Basil and their discovery that they have been staying at swingers resort. These are all short wonderful stories about friends and the opportunity to swing with friends and make new ones. old lovers and new lovers. They are all entertaining and enjoyable. Very interesting stories. Great collection.

A couples vacation turns out to be more than they imagined. First their resort is actually a place for swingers and when they venture off to Mexico, they find more of the same. Follow their swinging adventures in the books included in this box set. Fun reads but be warned, they are equally as hot. Well written, these books should be on you list to read. Very much recommended.

Very hot but ...
The stories are certainly all hot in this series with couples who are swingers or are about to become swingers, but ultimately the fact that all the solutions to their relationship problems are there, did not convince or passionate me. I wasn't really into the characters, some of them even annoying me.

I've read a lot of books written by Anna Ellis; she has done an excellent job at writing a good set of books; she is one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.
The story lines caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

This is a box set that contains the following titles:
• One Summer
• One Week
• One Night
The books should be read in order. To my surprise, because the ARC title didn’t spell out what these books were about, I agreed to review before I knew what was explored. For those who like the swinger relationships, you may enjoy these three stories.
