I really loved this series. Ryan really loved Mia and wanted to make things work with her, but he also respected her choices. I liked Mia, she was strong and wanted to make it in her career on her own merit and not rely on favors or a relationship with the boss. Another great series.
Book 1, Instant Attraction - When Mia lands the job of her dreams she is elated even after she realizes that her immediate boss is a mean, power hungry man who steals the ideas of those working under him and takes the credit. Being the strong minded woman she is, their management styles quickly become confrontational which leads to a meeting that changes her life. Ryan was just doing his best friend a favor when he got Mia an interview with his company but made sure he was "hands off" in the decision to hire her. All thoughts of being hands off is quickly put to the test when he realizes there is an instant attraction between them after their first meeting.
Book 2, Forbidden Affair - It seems that no matter how much Ryan and Mia try to keep their relationship on a professional basis only, the more they crave the touch and affection from each other. Throw a psychotic ex girlfriend into the mix where the stress of keeping their budding "relationship" a secret and tempers as well as passion seem to be difficult to contain. There is a cliffhanger but I wasn't fully prepared for the reality when I realized the book ended at a critical point.
Book 3, Hard Choice - Thankfully we learn very quickly the results of the accident that was the cliffhanger at the end of Book 2. As with the previous books, this is a short but intense ride of emotions as Mia and Ryan's relationship heats up but at the same time, we find more twists and turns that keep us wondering if they will get their HEA or will obstacles keep getting in their way.
Book 4, Unwelcome Revelation - Every time you think that Mia and Ryan will finally be able to have their HEA, there is another twist and turn that threatens their relationship. In Book 4, Mia has just accepted a promotion that may take her to another city and they are hoping to keep their relationship going via long distance and Pow, another pitfall is placed in their way but this time, it appears Mia is at the center.
Book 5, Just Exoneration - Just when we are given a glimmer of hope that Mia and Ryan might finally get their HEA, a new wrench is thrown into the mix. This series has kept me interested and on the edge of my seat as one after another issue comes up to keep these two soul mates from being together.
Book 6, Sweet Freedom -The long awaited ending to a fantastic series! In this Book 6, we finally find out whether Mia and Ryan get their HEA but we pick up their story after they have been apart for 6 months. Poor Mia seems to run into issues in whatever job she takes and in this case, as with all the other times, the issues revolve around her relationship or "non" relationship with Ryan. Can Mia ever get over her fear of the publicity that surrounds her attempts at a relationship with Ryan? Can Ryan convince Mia that he is so much more than the publicity that seeks him out? A fantastic and fitting end to a story that had me addicted from the first few pages. Well done Avery North, well done!

This 6-book collection will hold your attention as you delve into the story. The characters will charm you. Below is a review of one of the books to give you a sample of what you’ll find in this series.
*** Reviewing “INSTANT ATTRACTION (#1)” *** Mia recently graduated from business school. She has hopes of getting a good job in her hometown of Chicago, and is quite happy when she does just that! CEO Ryan Maddison started the company and is her boss.
When the two meet, their attraction is instantaneous. But office romance is not permitted. It would be especially dangerous for them since others are trying to ruin Ryan professionally. Will they be able to pursue their romance? Or will they have a fight on their hands from outsiders?
The drama and romance will pull the reader into this story, and having the complete series here in one place is fantastic! You may find yourself binge-reading, but you get to set the pace since it’s all here at your fingertips!

Ryan gives Mia a job at his company and there are the typical cliques at work that cause issues. The biggest issues is his ex, who is vindictive and causes trouble that can get you arrested or destroy companies. There on and off again relationship is solid is that they really do love each other and just need the time to work it out. Situations do get sidetracked a few times as people jump to conclusions without the whole knowledge of what is up. Loved the characters, with all the intense feelings and emotions riding on the surface. The storyline has plenty of surprises and twists, along with suspense, drama and mystery. Loved the roller coaster romance and how it ended on a high note. Love the series that this author has and will be rereading this one again.

I read the individual novellas in this series back in about May when each was released (weekly). I have re-read them now as the box set has come out, and it reminded me just how much I really loved this series in particular! I love everything I've read by Avery North, but this series is especially fantastic - I really love the chemistry between Ryan and Mia, and the trauma they they go through and that the ex-girlfriend and her father and the inside man at the company creates which causes them to break up and have so much time apart is truly heartbreaking - Avery writes it all so well!
I highly recommend everyone check out Avery North, especially this series and box set!

Compelling series... I'm not one to detail the story but this was quite a rollercoaster ride so hold on tight for 6 episodes of the journey of Ryan & Mia. You can't help but admire the main characters who had the most amazing sexual chemistry. She was sharp, highly intelligent & a good leader. He was a billionaire businessman who hired her & then claimed her. The proverbial hit the fan with treachery & false accusations & the heroine was set up to take the fall. Could they uncover the real culprits & find the path to reunite & follow their destiny. I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.
This box set is one for your collection. You can't do without it. You will love this love story. These two are on fire from the start. A Best friend's sister story. You will get drama, hate, love, steamy times, romance, betrayal, secrets, lies, false accusations, heartache, and more. There are plot twists along with a cliffhanger for each book. So you have to read this set and let me say you will be on the edge of your seat with tears and wanting to jump inside the books and strangle people. Awesome reading here.

I read each of the books in this box set as it was released, it was frustrating reading each of them as they all ended in a cliffhanger and I had to wait for the next one to be published. Each of them was enjoyable but I only gave them four stars because they were incomplete.
But now having re-read them one after the other in this box set I am happy to give the complete story FIVE stars. The storyline is one I became invested in, the characters, are well-drawn, I really liked Ryan, he's a perfect male lead whilst Mia, was a somewhat frustrating character who at times made me groan, that said I thought they were great together. The chemistry between them is palpable and hot.
The complete six book collection of Avery North’s ‘Secret Favor’ series is her best so far. I loved all the adventure, suspense, mystery, intrigue and romance all these characters brought to life. Ryan and Mia, the main characters, have amazing chemistry but it’s just one obstacle after another. It makes you frustrated and wonder if these two characters will ever be together and share a normal relationship. You need to read this series to find the answers to the burning question, will they or won’t they make it together. This whole series has twists and turns and was so riveting that it was hard to put down. Highly recommended and definitely a MUST read!
For a very young man, Ryan did extremely well. Unfortunately, it drawled the wrong women. The Mistake he made was dating Tully, a major gold digger who lived off him and her father. When he met Mia, a intelligent and strong woman who could hold her own. Working for him, caused a lot if media attention which she didn't like. This story was about love, head strong and revenge. I felt Mia wanted Ryan to scrafice too much for him to be with her. This was not a strong love story because Ryan's character showed too much weakness.
Ryan and Mia's love story grabs you from book 1 to the end of the series. The attraction between them is instant, but it's a forbidden love as she's his best friend's sister. Not to mention, she works for him. However, they have forces working against them at every turn. To sustain their newfound love, they'll have to prove to others and themselves that they are unbreakable, and love wins in the end. Great series!

A great series that starts with a favor. Little did Ryan know what that favor will cost him. A vindictive ex, ruthless paparazzi, a scandal in the making are some of the reasons why the relationship between Ryan and Mia is almost impossible. However, Ryan will fight tooth and nail for his love for Mia. I received a free copy of every installment via Booksprout and I am voluntarily leaving a review for the boxset.

He learns things about his business that he should have known and even things about himself. They have started a relationship but his past comes back and messes everything up. Can he convince Mia that she belongs by his side or will he lose everything that he holds dear.
What a great series of books to read. The ups and downs of life in general for both the main characters in these books. The main Characters worked so well in these books and I had a great connection with them as well. The books just flowed from the first one to the last book number 6. Thank goodness for happy endings. I can truly recommend this series to others that are over the age of 18+

Mia has just finished her MBA and applied at her number one choice, GrazTech. After being interviewed for only 30 minutes, Mia got the job. On her first day at work, Mia meets the boss, Ryan Maddison, and the two of them hit it off right away. Mia wants to keep it strictly professional but Ryan has other ideas. The complete story of Ryan and Mia is full of romance, steam, paparazzi, the ex-girlfriend, her father, a trio of con-artists, and ends in a HEA. Highly recommended.
As all the books a connected you can't just pick up in the middle. And many of the books have cliffhanger endings which makes this series so great. I loved this story which had a few twists and turns and of course the happily ever after. I laughed and cried right alongside the characters and was so happy it all worked out. I love Avery North's writing style so easy to read.
This is the collection of books from the beginning of Ryan and Mia's relationship when he hires her and a relationship starts to unfold until different people start to interfere causing all kinds of trouble for this couple. This has drama, suspense and romance that will keep you reading to find out what will happen next and to see if Ryan and Mia will ever find their HEA.
Oh man was this awesome. Ryan gets past what happened to him and keeps building his company. Who knew that doing a favor for a school buddy would end up like this. Once I started reading this I couldn't put it down.

I read the series in pieces and I still love it. It ticks me off and makes me root for them to win, not the villains. I love the ending! Fighting for love and for family brings great things to those who deserve it. I am still glad they managed to fight for their love. Long road but worth the ending.
