A boxset! Yes! For ease of binge reading, here we go! These reviews are copied from the individual book review page:
Enemy Benefits Goals
4 stars
The male lead, Teddy, and the female lead, Bridget, first met each other in the previous story in this series but I feel their interactions are well summarised in this story so, whilst previous stories add depth to both the main relationship as well as secondary character interactions, this story does stand alone.
Due to Bridget’s previous actions and personal history, the main characters are very antagonistic to each other and I admit to not being very comfortable with the language they use to speak to each other. But this is a case where familiarity breeds a relationship and, whilst still antagonistic and built on fighting and making up, the characters come to know each other and care for each other.
There are PLENTY of external influences on their relationship and struggles they need to overcome. Again, whilst I understand what the author has written and why, there were many moments that I was genuinely uncomfortable content-wise.
The story was dual POV, well written, and I genuinely felt for the characters. I adored Teddy’s willingness to show emotion and to keep reaching out in the face of Bridget’s habitual refusal.
Friends with Benefits Goals
4.5 stars.
Massimo, the male lead and professional soccer player, has been ignoring his crush on his team’s assistant coach, Danny, the female lead. But when he needs help discouraging an overly enthusiastic female fan, he draws Danny in. Then when he finds out that she needs a date for a family event, he volunteers.
Danny has been interested but wants to continue in profession and wants no assertions of favoritism against her plus she doesn’t trust Massimo to give up his manwhore habits. Until it’s all at risk...
This story was dual POV, well written, and I swear the author’s writing is improving markedly, though she was good to start with. I enjoyed the relationship development between the main characters but also with secondary characters, including some from previous stories.
I received a complimentary copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I have read some of the books in this box set individually and I thought they were great reads, here are some of my thought/opinions on them:
Dirty Daddy Goals: Gwen won a contest, where she gets to have a private brunch with a woman from Real Housewives, and she is so excited to meet her favourite one. While there she meets Teddy a know player and soccer player, so naturally she keeps him at a distance. Can he charm her into letting him have more? What if his Dad is more refined and tempting? She is up for some big decisions. I liked this romance, it had a bit of betrayal, drama, fun and plenty of steam.
Enemies Benefits Goals: Teddy meets his match, and I loved this book. Teddy has a reputation for been a womanizer, and he has a bit of a grudge against Bridget, but they both don't want to upset Gwen, so they will have to get along. Bridget can't help, how drawn she feels towards Teddy, and she is trying to resist. Will they both end up action on this attraction? I loved this steamy pair, I loved the banter between them, and both of them were easy to love.
Friends with Benefits Goals: He needs to clean up his act, and Daniella (Danny) isn't afraid to tell him what to do. Massimo likes pushing his luck, and feels that he should have some parties, but Danny has to turn up uninvited and tell him to shut it down. It doesn't help that Danny's sass and confidence, seem to turn him on, although that would probably destroy Danny's career. They are both tempted, will it spell disaster? I loved Danny she is strong and can take the men on, but still can be a woman, and Massimo is charming and easy to love too. I loved their story with all it's angst, drama and potential for disaster.

First off on Kindle you have to pay for the individual stories, but the box set is in KU so if you have that grab that to read these. Honestly they are not worth paying individual price for. I read three out of the four stories. I skipped Teddy and Bridget’s story which is book 3.
Book 1 is Max and Valerie. Enemies to lovers. Lots of fat shaming and distress by Valerie over the shaming. This was ok, but I had a hard time reading this and constantly being reminded that Valerie is fat shamed. Ok I get she’s a big girl and life is not peaches for her. I can figure that out from the dialogue and peoples actions. I don’t need it rehashed a thousand times like I’m an idiot.
I wasn’t into Valerie’s watching Max have sex with other women and pleasuring herself, before they were together. I’m an open person, but there was something that bother me about this and not sure why. Maybe because then Valerie would put herself down? I’m not sure. Anyway didn’t love this story, but didn’t hate it. I did almost not finish it or any of the other stories based on this one.
I liked Janine and later Morgan. I wish the other stories would have been about these two.
Book 2 is Gwen, Teddy, and Daniel. This one is muddled. First there’s Gwen and Teddy, then drama happens and then there is Gwen and Daniel. Daniel is Teddy’s father. Gwen is an acquaintance of Vals. And Teddy is a soccer teammate to Max. Teddy is in book 1. The characters in this are two dimensional. Gwen is adopted? And we don’t find that out until almost the end of the story, weird. Also I wasn’t really buying Daniel’s attraction to Gwen for some reason because Daniel meets Gwen a few times while Teddy is pursuing her and there is nothing mentioned that would lead you to think Daniel had any attraction or something toward Gwen. Not until an auction date they have together. Anyway this left me lukewarm. I disliked Bridget so much. I was disgusted Gwen took her back as a friend, but didn’t even want to talk to Teddy to clear the air and Teddy didn’t even try much, but was woe is me. Bleck. So I didn’t read book 3 Teddy and Bridget’s story.
Book 4 is Massimo and Danny’s (Daniella) story. Danny is the assistant coach to the soccer team and Massimo is a player on the team in his last year before retirement. I was looking forward to this story because it was different than the others. Mass is kinda a man child and is having a midlife crisis. Danny is stubborn and strong. She downplays her femininity. Danny is also Val’s friend from book 1. This was an okay story. Some things Mass participated in were not what I wanted to read, but I get it was painting a picture for me. I didn’t think the story need the mystery woman angle and it was weird as well as. It explained well enough to be believable. It was obvious who it was anyway. The ending is quick and meh. This was my fave of the three I read.
Read other books by this author and not these. They are better in my opinion. I hesitated reading these and I should have followed my gut and passed.
