BOXED SET CONTAINS: Four (4) novella-length steamy love stories featuring alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. Please note that the follow-on series, BAD BOYS AFTER DARK are all full-length novels.

WILD BOYS AFTER DARK: LOGAN (Book 1)
WILD BOYS AFTER DARK: HEATH (Book 2)
WILD BOYS AFTER DARK: JACKSON (Book 3)
WILD BOYS AFTER DARK: COOPER (Book 4)

LOGAN:
Navy SEAL vet turned private investigator Logan Wild has a thirst for justice — and one-time flings. But when he meets Stella “Stormy” Knight, he finds himself craving more from the mysterious beauty…

Stella “Stormy” Knight is an expert at hiding—her feelings, her past, and her identity. Sometimes all that hiding takes its toll, and she needs to come out from under that heavy suit of armor and cut loose—but it never takes her long to put it right back on and disappear without a trace.

Navy SEAL vet turned private investigator Logan Wild is relentless in his pursuit to discover the truth for his clients. He works hard, plays even harder, and always walks away unscathed and untethered. Until he meets mysterious and sexy-as-hell Stormy, who leaves him craving more than a one-night stand.

Passion ignites, secrets are shared, and their deep connection is impossible to ignore. But in order to have a future, Logan must uncover Stormy’s dark past—and when he does, he’ll hold her fate in his hands.

HEATH
No last names. No strings. No ties.

Except of the silk variety.

Dr. Heath Wild and Allyson Jenner only wanted a simple tryst. But Heath couldn’t live with just one night, just one taste, of Ally—and Ally couldn’t escape the memory of his hands on her skin, the way he looked at her like she was his obsession, or his seduction, which had pushed her to the edge and had made her want to do things she never had before.

One night leads to one tantalizing phone call. Can one phone call lead to forever?

JACKSON
Receiving a marriage proposal is supposed to make a women happy, but when Erica Lane receives a beautiful marriage proposal from her perfect boyfriend on the eve of her annual camping trip with her best friend, Jackson Wild, the first thing she does is jump into bed with Jackson.

Jackson’s all too happy to screw the annoyance out of Erica. After all, they’ve always screwed the hell out of each other when they were bored or angry, lonely, or too damn drunk to see straight.

But the marriage proposal changes everything, and their annual camping trip takes unexpected turns. Will a few nights in the wilderness set these friends with benefits free, or lead them on a path of destruction?

COOPER
Four years ago at a film festival, Cici Fine met Cooper Wild, a man who turned her world upside down in the span of one deliciously perfect week. He was everything she’d ever dreamed of: sinfully sexy, intelligent, and incredibly loving. When the festival ended, they returned to their own hometowns with promises of forever. But Cooper disappeared, and Cici was left to raise the daughter he never knew about alone.

Cooper is finally thinking straight after years of being lost in grief from the tragedy that killed his father and left his mother blind. Now he’s on a mission to find the woman he left behind—the only woman he’s ever loved.

But Cici Fine is no longer a naive young girl. She’s a savvy businesswoman with big responsibilities, on the cusp of a life-changing move. When fate brings the two together, they’ll put the old adage to the test and find out if love really can conquer all.

Dive into the Wild Boys After Dark box set. This series has compelling characters, family, love, intensity and lots of emotion. Each novella is fantastic from the start. Logan, Heath, Jackson and Cooper are dirty-talking, sexy, loyal brothers who meet and fall for equally captivating heroines.

Enjoy the dirtier side of Foster’s writing...you won’t be disappointed.

I generously received an advanced readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

If you love romances with a sexy dark edge to them, then’s ‘Wild Boys After Dark Set’ is the collection for you.

Each individual book will have you wanting to take a ride on the Wild Side, as Heath, Logan, Jackson and Cooper all have the bad boy/ perfect man vibe going on. But when they fall, they fall hard, and I for one was hooked. I rate each of these books five stars independently, but as a collection the heat, passion, love and romance is off the scales!

All can be read as stand-alone books within their own right, but as a collection it is one boatload of smoking hot sexiness, and I for one, could not stop page turning.

A bargain for the price, the covers are attractive and equally as alluring as the book boyfriends, and as a reader you cannot help but be envious of these women. Logan and Jackson were my favourites, as I love how Jackson found Laney uniquely beautiful, and Logan was a character who I couldn’t help but be drawn to from the onset.

I’d recommend these books to those who enjoy romances which fall on the hotter scale of romance. Who want to get stuck into a gripping collection which will have you desperately wanting more, and those who enjoy books which have crossovers between characters.

Logan
Sometimes when we rescue someone else, we end up rescuing ourselves as well.....even if we didn’t know we needed it.

Logan and Stella have off the charts chemistry from minute 1. In true Foster fashion, the author weaves an amazing tale with the most protective of heroes who has his own demons to overcome but will do whatever he has to for the heroine.

Heath
From one-night-stand to forever. Both Heath & Ally have been hurt in previous relationships and aren’t looking for anything serious. But isn’t that when things happen, when you aren’t looking and least expect them??
Heath is the type of man every woman dreams of.....completely swoon-worthy.

Jackson
Best friends since they were kids. Friends with benefits since high school. What will it take for Jackson & Erica to realize there’s more to their relationship than they think.

Cooper
Oh this one was my favorite of all 4. Cooper & Cici finding their way back to each other was absolutely magical.

I loveed everything about this bundle!

The Wild boys are 4 brothers, each affected differently by their father's death and the fact that their mother became blind after the attack they suffered. And each finds a wonderful woman to listen to their hearts and help them heal.
All characters are so likeable, and there are some supporting ones who are just lovely. All the books are novellas, each are very low on drama, full of hot scenes and lovely intimate and candid moments.
Loved it!

I love all the Wild boys. Melissa has outdone herself with this series of HOT guys. All I can say is Jackson chapter 5 and now I want to go camping. Hot alpha's and great story lines. You can't go wrong.

I love that Melissa put these 4 books together in one box set. These brothers can be something else. They all suffered a huge loss & reacted to the loss differently but regardless they are family. I like that they are all different but they each are a perfect match to their lady love.

Bear with me, because I'm going to review every story individually. But don't worry, there are no spoilers.

LOGAN

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

Logan Wild, former Navy SEAL now a Private Investigator, feels his mission in life is protecting people after he failed to protect his parents on a terrible night with horrible consequences for the whole family. But he never thought that his over-protectiveness would reach a whole new level after meeting Stella, although he knows her as Stormy. Stella is running away from an abusive boyfriend who wants to kill her, but she couldn't have anticipated that her life would improve after meeting the hot guy in the bar with the blue eyes. From that moment on, nothing will be the same.

I always enjoy reading Melissa Foster's books, but I am enjoying this new series of books even more. Why? The characters are tormented, they have achieved their goals with their own means, the level of hotness of the stories are higher (sometimes too much vanilla can get overly sweet), and the background of the different characters are ones that we can certainly relate to. The characters in this book are complex and it was very easy to feel close to them.

The story is fast-paced and interesting, with the right amount of suspense and thrill in the right places. My only problem was that the ending felt a bit brusque, but all in all I have enjoyed the book quite a lot. If you like spicy romances with approachable characters, this is the series for you.

HEATH

When Heath Wild meets Ally, he couldn't imagine that his days of enjoying one-night stands were going to be over. They just wanted to have fun for one night and then carry on with their lives, but fate wasn't going to go easy on them. Discovering they work in the same hospital, Ally never thought that the successful Doctor Heath Wild would have any interest in her... apart from their naughty deeds in the bedroom, of course. Both of them were going to be surprised.

The level of hotness in this book was a bit higher than in the previous book in this series, and I enjoyed that. But also, the level of romance is higher too. We will discover that the Wild men have a very romantic side as well. One thing I like about these books is that we already start to see hints of what is going to happen in future books. I am enjoying tremendously reading about the Wild brothers, and I cannot wait to read about the Bad brothers too.

If you are looking for a fast and entertaining read for the weekend, this is the book for you.

JACKSON

As we say here in Spain, you never realise what you have until you lose it. Or, in the case of Jackson Wild, until you almost lose it. Jackson and his best friend, Erica Lane "Laney", have a no-strings-attached sexual relationship. It is a plan that works for them... until now. When Laney's boyfriend proposes to her, neither her nor Jackson know how to handle that situation. If she gets married, will she be able to continue her relationship with Jackson? Is she really in love with her boyfriend? Is Jackson really interested just in a no-strings-attached relationship? Or does he want more? It doesn't seem to be an easy situation.

I really enjoyed this book and the struggle the two main characters had with themselves and their own feelings. Sometimes it is not easy to face our own feelings, but Jackson and Laney will have to do just that in order to find happiness. So, what will happen? Will she get married or will she choose according to what her heart really tells her to do?

Very fast read, ideal for a weekend or an evening. Perfect companion for a glass of wine and some cheese, followed by a cold shower. These Wild boys are seriously hot.

COOPER

This book wraps up the series of books about the Wild brothers. I really like that Melissa Foster always focuses her stories around families and their interactions. Sometimes I feel the family relationships appearing in the books are too good to be good, but that's the magic of romance books, right? I wish real families were like the Bradens or the Wilds. But I digress...

Cooper Wild, despite his youth, has been a tormented soul for a long time. The death of his father sent him to a very dark place where he ruled out love, pushing away at the same time Celeste (Cici) Fine, the love of his life. When they meet again in a film festival after four years of secretly longing for each other, they feel like time hasn't existed. Will she be able to forgive him for his apparent lack of interest in her? Will she tell him about the daughter who was born as the fruit of their love nearly four years ago? Did he come to stay?

This is a sweet and spicy story about lost love and about how love can conquer all. But, is that true? Enjoy this book, which is perfect for reading in just one seating, and behold the hotness that is Cooper Wild.

The Wild Boys After Dark Boxed Set contains 4 novellas written by Melissa Foster. Each story features a different Wild brother and can be read as stand-alone, which is why I will be reviewing each title separately. I didn't rate Jackson's story for reasons I will explain in that review. The average rating is 3.33 and it's rounded down to 3 stars for sites like Amazon and GR. There is a lot of "insta-love" which I don't mind, but I know some of you do.

The first brother to find love it's Logan. I gave his story 4 stars because while it was good, the ending made me feel like some things were not resolved and I wanted to see Logan confessing what he had done to his mother. I would have liked an epilogue for this story for some closure. I enjoyed the story though and I liked both main characters.

After Logan is Heath's turn. The story began with Heath and Allyson already hot and heavy which was abrupt. The part where the main characters meet each other was skipped and it was weird, especially after Logan and Stormy's story. Still, this is the book I ended up enjoying the most and I rated it with 5 stars. Allyson and Heath's romance and relationship were on point and I was very satisfied with the story. Even if you are not interested in the boxset, I would recommend reading the story on its own.

Jackson's story was the one I didn't read and just skimmed a bit. To me, it seemed like Jackson and Laneywere in an open relationship without been in an open relationship and it's not something I like to read in a romance novel. IRL you can do whatever you want, but there are some things I consider a turn-off in the books I read. Laney was sleeping with Jackson and at the same time, she was in a relationship with a dude who wanted to marry her. She is supposedly non-monogamous and yet in the end she will be monogamous with Jackson? I don't get these characters and that's why I am not rating the story. T

And we go to the story I hated with the fire of a thousand suns. Cooper, rating 1 star (1 star too many, if you ask me). There is a trope that needs to die and never be revived and that's the "Heroine stays celibate while the hero is a walking STD during their separation". I will use quotes from the book to explain myself even more.

When I read this paragraph " She looked in the mirror and pushed her long black hair over her shoulders, remembering how much Cooper had loved running his fingers through it. How he’d tangle his hands in it and hold on tight as they ravaged each other. Her scalp tingled with the memory, sending her pulse into a frenzy. She rolled her eyes at her reflection. She’d never fully let go of the fantasy that someday, somehow, they’d find each other again. But that type of thinking could ruin her, and she refused to do that to herself again. It had taken her a long time to stop thinking about him every minute of the day—not to mention every time she looked into Melody’s blue eyes—and she couldn’t fall back into that soul-wrenching fantasy.", I thought that we were in for a very good second-chance romance and I was 100% in. For 4 years Cici was pinning for Cooper and had remained celibate. I thought that maybe Cooper was lying about sleeping with the two blondes to cover his love for her. Then Cooper's point of view came and I haven't rolled my eyes so hard or become disgusted so fast in my bookwormish life.

Here are 2 quotes from the walking STD "He’d become numb to everything around him. So f-ing numb that he’d tried to f-k himself into feeling again, but even that hadn’t worked"

and

"I’m not proud of this, and I won’t blame you if you tell me to leave, but by night I lost myself in anyone I could. One woman, two, whoever was willing to let me fight my demons without needing me to be fully present.”"

So while Cici was raising their child alone he was "fighting his demons". Yeah, that's not going to fly with me. This trope needs to be erased from existence because it's misogynistic. If Cooper had been celibate or neither of them I would have been 1000% supportive of this story.

And here is what made me think that Cici deserved to be treated like that by Cooper " You’re so loving with me. The idea of you hurting so badly and having that much s3x without someone who loved you enough to give you what you needed in return just kills me.” “Cici, I wasn’t capable of feeling.” And that's when I stopped reading. Girl you should have run as fast as you could after that confession.

I am so excited that all of the After Dark books are in one bundle now!! Once I started I couldn't put these babies down! Pick up the whole set, you will not be disappointed!!

Logan:
Logan and Stella have an intense meeting and it puts Logan into protective mode, where he feels the most comfortable. He likes being the saviour, but only for those he really cares about, but how can he care so much for Stella after just one meeting?

After an intense night of tangling in the sheets together, Logan makes it his mission to make Stella feel safe again. She is living in fear, and he does not want her to live like that.

Stella is trying to hide from her ex-boyfriend who tried to kill her and she is on the countdown for when he is released from prison. She is living in fear daily and jumps at every sound and barely sleeps. She doesn't want to have Logan get hurt and tries to push him away, but little does she know, he is determined.

Can Stella's fear be too much and push Logan away? Can Stella never see her mother again because of her ex-boyfriend? Logan has found his soul mate, will he be willing to wait for Stella? Can he make her truly feel safe?

This books was pretty good. It is a bit more intense and graphic then the other Melissa Foster books, but still has the family, love, and respect being shown like in her other Love in Bloom books.

Heath:
Heath is one hot man!! He can tie me up anytime with one of his ties!

Heath and Ally have an instant attraction when they met and it wasn't only suppose to be a one night stand, which then turned into two. They both agreed to no last names and not letting each other know where they live, but then Heath did the unthinkable, he asked for her number. Ally never thought she would hear from him.

Heath can not get Ally out of his mind. She dug in under his skin and doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and he doesn't seem to want her to go either. He found his match, but is it too fast? Ally has reservations also, is it too fast, can she believe in her feelings? Is falling so fast really ok if they are perfect for each other?

Loved reading Heath and Allyson's happily ever after, love can happen super fast.

Jackson:
This one wasn't my favorite, but I did still enjoy it. I was not too much of a fan of how the relationship played out between Laney and Jackson.

Jackson never thinks he can settle down with one woman, but that all changes when his best friend, and friend with benefits is proposed to. It really makes him open his eyes and see that she may be the one for him, but he is scared he can't commit herself to her.

Laney, aka Erica has always fallen back to Jackson and knows him so well, he is her best friend. She too has never thought that he would commit to her until she is proposed to and is afraid of losing her forever and what they have shared for the past 12 years.

It was strange to have them still sleep together and sleep with others and with Erica being in a committed relationship, long enough to be proposed to and the guy being ok with that. It was a bit of a strange relationship but that was their relationship I guess. L

Looking forward to Cooper's story next!

Cooper:
Cooper and CiCi are one hot couple that fell in love super fast but then a horrible event took place in Cooper's life and he bailed on CiCi. She thought she had found her happily ever after, but little did she know that he disappeared off the face of the earth. Until a year later he reaches out to her, but she refused to talk to him. Even though she should have, she was keeping a secret from him.

CiCi has been on her own with her daughter for 4 years, until Cooper returns into her life. She has always loved him, missed him, and knew she needed to tell him about his daughter, but she never got up the courage to do it. Then at the film festival where they met, he knocks on her hotel room door and things are like they have never changed. The two of them heat up the sheets and fall back into love, although I don't think they ever fell out of it.

Cooper and CiCi have a great connection, a relationship, and chemistry. After all of the things that need to be said are said between the two of them, is it too late to mend the broken hearts of these two and they can be a happy family?

Loved Cooper's book, it was super sweet and hot!

Where to start...What an amazing story of the Wild brother’s search for their other half. Although it took awhile to read all four stories, I wouldn’t have had it any other way! One story leads to the next and all questions were answered, no loose ends! I’m also glad I didn’t have to wait for each story to be released because that would’ve been TORTURE! These novels have a little bit of everything: romantic suspense, one-night stand to more, best friends to lovers, and single mom. I highly recommend this box set. I read a gifted copy of this set and all opinions stated are my own.

In the first novel, we’re introduced to Logan Wild and Stella “Stormy”. Logan is a retired Navy Seal turned PI upon retirement from the Navy. Stormy is on the run and likely only has days until her past is released from jail and catches up with her. While Stormy is working at the bar, she is attacked and Logan comes to her rescue. She doesn’t want Logan to help, but knows she needs Logan. She feels safe with him. But will Logan be able to overcome his past, reveal his secrets/pain, while keeping Stormy safe? Logan’s guilt over not being there when his parents were attacked and the revenge he sought are dark times in his past that affect his future. Stormy’s just the one to help him through his feelings......

Next is a short novella featuring Dr. Heath Wild and Allyson Jenner—his one night stand, insta-love. While at a medical conference, Health spots an intriguing woman. He’s not looking for a future or a relationship as he does not have time. His work is too important to him. He’s never mean to the women he sleeps with, but there is an understanding that it’s for one night and one night only...until he meets Ally. Ally is spunky, hot, beautiful and he can’t stop thinking about her. One night turns into two—a no-no for him. When he starts asking personal questions, things get dicey. But he does get her number. It’s during these texts that he finds out she lives in NYC. The next day he walks into the hospital lab only to find out she works in the same hospital he does. It’s on!

The last two novels were probably my favorite, although I enjoyed them all. I found the last two more relatable to me. The Third novel is a best friends with benefits story. Jackson, a world famous photographer, could and does have any woman he wants. But his heart, even though he won’t admit it, belongs to Erica (Laney). Laney has been his best friend with benefits since high school. Laney grew up a product of a divorced family and spent more time over at Jackson’s house than at her own. Jackson’s family readily welcomed her into the family. Only Jackson wasn’t ready to commit...Until Laney received a proposal from her boyfriend Bryce. He knew he should let her go as Bryce was stable and would provide Laney with anything her heart desired, but he couldn’t let her go. Words were said, a fight amongst friends ensued, and pride almost got in the way...Loved this story!!! Fairy tail ending, high school sweethearts, HOT chemistry!!!

Lastly, the single mom story that hit home. Cooper found his one and only at a film festival four years ago in CiCi Fine. They made plans for forever. He even went home and bought an engagement ring...before that fateful phone call that would change all the Wild brother’s lives. Cooper and his father had an extremely close relationship. After he was savagely murdered and his mom left for dead, Cooper withdrew into a really dark place. He wanted to go after CiCi, but didn’t want to ruin what they had by dragging her into the darkness. It took almost four years to feel as though he had something to offer, so he sought her out. CiCi never knew why Cooper backed out on their plans, but she was devastated. Her heart was broken and she was left to put her dreams aside and raise their daughter by herself. When Cooper arrives at her door, during the film festival, she can’t believe it. She’s mad, sad, and happy. But she has her daughter now and she needs to tread lightly and guard her heart. The ending was AMAZING!!! Loved this story. It has ALL the feels! The efforts all the women go through to make sure Mrs. Wild can “see” their happiness, the acceptance...I had tears, laughed, and wished I had a “Wild” man. Awesome series, well worth the time.

Logan

Stella "Stormy" Knight is on the run and she's doesn't have much time before she may need to bolt again. She longs for the normal life she led and the dreams of white picket fences and a family. Those ideas have been stolen from her by the twisted obsession of someone who'd rather see her dead. She's biding her time until he finds her again. But looking over her shoulders is about to end when she saved from an attack by a sinfully attractive alpha male. Logan Wild makes no attempt to hide the attraction he feels but he knows she's skittish and hiding from something. Now all he has to do to is earn her trust and prove that he can help her and keep her safe.

Heath

Ally is cautious by nature, she's had to be due to experience she has difficulty trusting. A one-night stand seems like the perfect solution when at a conference. She just doesn't expect the level of connection that she feels or how unbelievable the night turns out to be. And when one night turns into two and numbers are exchanged can we keep this as no strings attached?
Heath is protective by nature, as a doctor his focus is his patients. When he can't get Allie off his mind he breaks his own rules and pushes for more. As a man who doesn't date he wants to try and see where things lead since he's never felt this strongly towards a woman. And it might be time to take his walls down and see what the future holds.

Jackson

Jackson Wild is a talented photographer with a penchant for willing women. He doesn't discriminate on variety or quantity. But there's one woman who surpasses all of them, his best friend and the only women he's ever loved. And it all comes tumbling down when she bursts into his apartment in a frenzy of urgent need, upset and announces the one thing he's feared, a marriage proposal that could take her away.
Laney is methodical in her work at her magazine Wilde Side. It's her personal life she can't get a handle on, a proposal should be a happy time it's what every little girl wants right? Well this grown-up girl is thrown into a tailspin when she realizes that the man who asked her to marry him might not be the one she wanted to ask her. But can Jackson really commit after all the years they've spent as best friends with benefits. They've been each other's safe place for so long, what will happen if they take the jump into monogamy.

Cooper

Cooper Wild is ready to get back on track, first step getting back the one he let get away. Cici made such an impact in his life he was ready to settle down and make a commitment. Then tragedy stuck and he spiraled into a dark place that he's only recently found himself out of. But how do you beg for forgiveness after four years?
Cici is worried about going back to where she first met Cooper that week had a lasting impression on her. And all the broken promises are overshadowing where she is today. She never expects to come face to face with him and have to be honest about the impact he had on her life. Hearing the reason for his absence crushes her and realizing she never truly stopped loving him. Now they have to decide can they move forward together and create the life they were meant to have.



**A few side notes, this group of books is called Wild Boys: Billionaires After Dark. I'm not sure if something got cut out during editing but at no point did I get this feeling that these were super uber rich men. They seem to have good jobs and work hard but nowhere in here did we delve into any kind of money talks. Maybe it was just me. Also it was really hard to like Cici, I just don't get those storylines where we sweep a huge secret under the rug and don't really address it. It's kind of a pet peeve and I don't think you get a pass just because you left a couple of voicemails.

Melissa Foster just gave us the best staycation/pandemic escape 4 in 1 boxed set. What is better than one sexy Wild billionaire? Four of them! The Wild brothers get their own happy endings with these four novels in one boxed set. Melissa is known for her dynamic characters and for crafting the perfect story. Her stories always contain all of the feels and they have the ability to draw the readers in as if they were part of the story. It is a great way to escape the every day. This boxed set is an easy, fast read. Once you start you don't want to put it down until you have finished the last one. You can't go wrong buying this boxed set!

The Wild brothers are sexy, wild, troubled by their father's death in different ways and they have hearts of gold under all of that testosterone. Logan, Heath, Jackson and Cooper find their perfect matches with Stella/Stormy, Allyson/Ally, Laney/Erica, and Cici.

Logan is a protective alpha male, he is an ex-navy seal turned into a PI. When he meets Stormy he knows that she is running from something and he will do whatever it takes to protect her from her past so that they can move into their future. Stormy has been through a lot and does not trust easily. She has been burned before and just wants to escape from a past that wont let her go. Logan doesn't let up on Stella. He refuses to let her push him away and instead breaches the walls that she has kept around herself. Logan makes his presence known and refuses to backdown. Stormy and Logan are the perfect match and find out just how much stronger they are as a team of two instead of just individuals. Just when you think it can't get any hotter here comes Heath's story.

Heath and Ally are anti-relationship people. Heath and Ally were supposed to be a one night stand, they meet at a medical conference and do not exchange information. They think that they are both in it just for the release and that's it no ties. Then back to reality, they make it back to NYC and they have bother been thinking about each other when they run into each other, at all places, their workplace. They get so much more than their one night stand and they can't get enough of each other. Heath breaks all of his rules with Ally and she can't help but fall for this Wild brother.

Jackson and Laney are a sweeter story. Two childhood best friends who have always turned to each other. They date other people but always come back to each other. You can see their love right from the start but neither want to ruin what they have by turning it into something more. They do not have a conventional relationship but what they have works for them. This story starts out different from most but still has the solid ending.

The final brother Cooper fell years ago and is a second chance love story. He crumbled after what happened to his dad. Not knowing how to handle it he fell apart and dropped the ball on the best thing that had ever happened to him. He gets a second chance when he goes to photograph a music festival. He see's Cici again the woman who he let down when he fell apart. Cici has a secret that she tried to tell him about all those years ago. They can't keep their hands off of each other but Cici is still holding back. When she is suddenly called home before she can tell him her secret you think that it is over but then Cooper goes after her and fights for the future that they both deserve.

Logan
I couldn’t imagine what Stella went through with her ex boyfriend. He is trying to kill her so she is going by the name of Stormy to hide from him. I was glad that her boss at the bar was willing to help her some. Then when Logan came in the bar and was attracted to Stella, little did she know it was the best thing to happen to her. Logan was one hot, good looking PI. He knows there is something or someone Stella is running away from. Logan was good friends with the bar’s owner and he told Stella she could trust Logan. I am so glad she did as he was able to use his skills to help her. Logan is good at his job and had some exciting times. I enjoyed the book and encourage you to read it.

Heath
All the Wild brothers are so good looking. Add that with Heath being a doctor with kindness and love for his family pushing him over the top. I was sad that he had such a bad experience with his ex that all he wanted to do was have one night stands instead of a relationship with a woman. His favorite place to hook up was at medical conventions. That was where he met Allyson that he was going to have a one night stand. There is something about Allyson that Heath wanted more which totally surprised him. Allyson had two bad ex’s and was happy with a one night stand. The two ended up exchanging numbers and talked to each other. Little did they know that they would meet up again as they both lived in New York City and she worked in the lab at the hospital Heath used. It was interesting watching the two fall in love. I encourage you to read the book.

Jackson
Jackson may be handsome and have a great job and family, but can sure be dumb at times! I guess it’s true that sometimes you can’t see what is right in front of you. Erica or Laney as Jackson nicknamed her have been best friends with benefits for 13 years. Each one calls the other when something bad or good happens. It is crazy that they also saw other people. I was glad when Bryce asked Laney to marry him as it opened both their eyes, even if it took awhile! I could feel they loved each other. I don’t know why Jackson was so afraid of being with one person. Especially as hot the two were together! I encourage you to read this book. I was given a copy and voluntarily wrote a review.

Cooper
I have to say that when young children are involved in a book, they usually steal my heart. In this book three year old Melody stole my heart at the end. I didn’t realize from the past books that Cooper fell in love with CiCi four years ago just before the break in to his parents house. I have felt so bad for all the Wild boys because of what happened to their parents during the break in. It really messed poor Cooper up and inadvertently messed up Cooper and CiCi. I was glad to see him go back to where he had met her to see if he could find her and get her to forgive him. I know CiCi was torn as she was so hurt by Cooper never getting back with her, but still being so in love with him. This book touched me the most of all the books. I strongly encourage you to read the book. I was given a copy and voluntarily wrote a review.

Logan
Logan Wild is as charming as he is intense. I enjoyed knowing that Logan was able to give himself so freely without hesitation. His back story is a said one, attack against his family.
Stella Krane is running for her life as the monster of her worst nightmare is about to come free. This heroine is amazing, with everything life is dealing her she pushes on.

Things get interesting when a hot passionate night turns into something more. The question is can Logan make good on his promises to Stella? Will Stella let him?

Heath

Heath Wild is a mixed healthy dose of sweet and sexy. There is nothing that doesn’t pull me to this man. Heath has never found a woman who can accept his love for his family and his job until now. Now he has to convince her that it’s possible.

Allyson Jenner is a brave strong lady with a kind tender heart. I love that Ally knows her heart, knows what she is able to give. Ally has never meet anyone anywhere near the level as Heath is. The question is can she open herself up and take a chance?

Heath and Ally’s journey is both a self discovery as well as a journey of the heart. Both has suffered by a cheating ex. Can they open themselves up to see if they could have a future, or will pass hurts leave them alone?

Jackson

Jackson Wild oh lord this hero intrigued me from the beginning. Jackson puts off so many dynamics, I enjoyed watching him discover that he has much more in him than he thought.

Erica Lane aka Laney is in a world of her own. I smile at who she is with her walls down. Laney has a huge decision to make that will change her her future as well as letting go of the one man that totally understood her.

Jackson’s and Laney’s secret desires are not as secret as they think, not at least to the people who truly know them. In the end it is always the matters of the heart that is questioned. Will they lose their friendship or will this open their eyes to what everyone else sees?

Cooper

Cooper Wild is an amazing hero that has you falling hard for his huge heart. Cooper had dealt with several blows from his parents ordeal to losing the one woman he loves. With life coming full circle Cooper is off to correct his miss step with the woman who holds his heart.

Celeste “CiCi” Fine is an amazing heroine and one that I admire, to do her best to handle what came out of her time in Bay City. CiCi’s about to get hit by a blast from her past, that will be a game changer in her future, but CiCi has a secret of her own.

After everything that has happened in Cooper’s past he never thought he would have a chance at finding happiness again. CiCi is about to have her world rocked in more ways than one.

The Wild Boys-Billionaires After Dark Series Boxed Set is Hot, Sexy, Flirty fun with a Loving dose of Family and Heart. I enjoyed re-reading Logan, Heath, Jackson and Cooper’s road to find happiness and love. I still think Mary Lou Wild is an amazing character, who has dealt with so much and yet is a solid base that held her and her family together. Melissa Foster did an amazing job in creating a slice of sexy heaven with the Wild Boys.

Rated 5 Stilettos and a Recommended Read by Deb!

Wild Boys After Dark boxed set is hot, sexy, sweet and oh so good. This is a guilty pleasure you will want to sink your teeth in. I love every moment of each brothers, Logan, Heath, Jackson and Cooper's stories. These may be quick reads but they will grab your heart and leave that gooey feeling behind as you fall for each couple.

Logan
Wild Boys After Dark: Logan is a fantastic read. I love where Melissa Foster takes us with Logan and Stella/Stormy. Logan is so protective and does not stop until justice is severed. Stella/Stormy is running and looking over her shoulder just waiting for the other shoe to drop. Stella is stronger then she looks and she is a survivor. She does not trust easily. Logan will make you swoon over how protective and careful he is with Stella. You feel this pull from the very beginning. Logan and Stella are hot together. I love how Logan pushes at Stella's walls and shows her he is what she needs. I love this couple. I really cannot wait for more of the Wild brothers to fall next.

Heath
Can I just say how much I loved Heath's book in the Wild Boys After Dark series. He is right now the front runner favorite Wild brother. Heath is super swoon worthy and will just melt your heart. I love the instant connection he has with Ally. There is such a pull between these two that is so hot you will be fanning yourself over and over again. This book is hot and so sweet. I love how two anti relationship people just fall instantly. This will take your heart and make you saw aww as you read. I love Heath and Ally together so much. I cannot wait for more of the Wild brothers.

Jackson
Jackson Wild Boys After Dark is such a sexy sweet read. Childhood friends Jackson and Laney(Erica) have this amazing bond between them. They are so hot and sexy together. You feel the strength of their love right from the start. Their relationship is unconventional to most but it always worked for them. I love Laney and Jackson together. They are super hot and just make so much sense. This one grabbed my heart and does not let go. I couldn't get enough of Jackson and Laney. You need to read this one. I'm excited to see how Cooper falls next.

Cooper
Cooper is a fantastic second chance within the Wild Boys After Dark series. I love getting to know Cooper a little more. He like his brothers goes through that dark moment after what happen to their father. He finally comes out and you will love how he is with Cici. Cici has a big secret and you can tell how heart she has been after years of radio silence from Cooper. They have this strong connection that you cannot deny the pull and hope everything is enough to put them back together again. This one will just take hold of your heart and not let go until each of those Wild boys finds what he his looking for. This is a fantastic book and series that you do not want to miss out on.

I liked having all the Wild Boys books in one set. Logan is the first book about the brothers. He's a private investigator and meets Stormy/Stella when she's tending bar in his friend's bar. He saves her from an attack and wants to keep her safe. Stormy/Stella has a secret that keeps her real name from most everyone. She's hiding from her abusive ex. Once Logan finds out, he vows to keep her safe. He and his brothers take care of their mother after she and their father were in a home invasion that leaves their dad dead and their mother blind. I like how the brothers look out for each other. There is some drama involving the ex but nothing that Logan doesn't handle.
The second book is Heath's. He is a doctor away at a medical conference where he meets Ally. They end up having a one night stand with only exchanging first names. But on the next day of the conference, they decide they can handle a second night. As fate has it, they end up both living in New York City and working at the same hospital where he's a doctor and she works in the lab. I like the way Heath tries to keep away from Ally but their connection is too strong. He's very kind and loving. They have a great relationship and I like how it develops.
The third brother is Jackson. He and his childhood friend, Erica Lane "Laney" have an unusual relationship as friends with benefits. This has been going on for over 12 years. It works until Laney is proposed to by her "boyfriend" even though she's told him she doesn't want marriage. This puts Jackson and Laney's friendship with benefits in trouble. Will either one of them realize that they really love each other before it's too late?
The fourth brother is Cooper. He met Celeste "CiCi" four years ago and he fell in love with her. But then their parents' accident happened and it threw him into a tailspin. He loved CiCi but didn't want to bring her down. CiCi loved Cooper, too. She ended up being pregnant and giving birth to their daughter. She wasn't able to get in touch with him to let him know. Now after all his brothers are in love and happy, Cooper thinks it's time for him to find CiCi and hope she'll take him back. When he finds that she's going to be at the same conference, he meets with her and tries to explain what happened. They can't seem to stop reconnecting long enough to talk but then when they do, CiCi can't find the words to tell him about their daughter. After leaving the hotel with an emergency with her sister/babysitter, Cooper fears that they won't find each other again. I liked this story and how accepting of the past both Cooper and CiCi are.
This is a wonderful box set of all the Wild Boys stories together. I received an ARC with no expectation of anything in return. I am leaving my honest review of this book.

Such a Wonderful Steamy Hot, Emotional, Romantic, Sweet Series

Logan: 
So hot! Wonderful, sizzling, naughty, and sweet book. Yes, this book is all this and more. Logan, a sexy, hot ex navy seal, meets Stella, a scared, beautiful woman that is running from her ex abusive boyfriend. From there, the sexual chemistry ignites which takes care of the sizzling naughtiness, but this is just part of the story. You also have Logan Wild and his three brothers that check on their mother that is blind daily, and they cook and eat with her every Sunday. Logan is also just a really nice guy that helps and protects Stella. There is the sweetness. You really need to read this book if you like romance with a little naughtiness. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series that will focus on Logan's brother, Heath. Another winner, Melissa Foster!

Heath: 
Dr. Heath Wild is not just a hot, sexy panty melting man, but he is also a communicative one, and he never lies. Wow! After meeting Heath in the first book in the series, Logan's book, I was really looking forward to more of him, and he did not disappoint. Heath meets Ally at a medical conference, and they hook up for a one night stand, no make that a two night stand. This is another winner for Melissa Foster, with just the right combination of hot, steamy sex, romance, and love. I received this book from the author in return for an honest review, and now I can't wait for the next Wild brother.

Jackson: 
I am loving this series! This is the third book in the Wild Boys After Dark series, but each can be read as a standalone, but you will not want to, I promise. Once you read one of them, you are going to love it so much, you are going to want to read them all. In this one, a common phrase comes to mind, You don't know what you have, until you are about to lose it. Jackson and Erica a.k.a. Laney, have been best friends, but it is also with benefits, since they were in high school, and that relationship is off the scale hot and steamy, but they are not just with each other. What happens when they might have to give up this relationship? It is a great story that puts you right there with them. I did not want to stop reading this book. Thank goodness there is a book 4 in this series. 

Cooper: 
Does he deserve a second chance?  That is what Cici has to decide.  Cooper certainly puts out everything to try to earn it.  This book is a wonderful end to a wonderful series.  Melissa Foster has done it again.  She has written another book that pulls you into the story, so you feel like you are there experiencing it with them.  Warning:  Once you start it, it will be real hard to put it down.  I highly recommend this author, this series, and this book.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
LOGAN
Logan couldn’t take his eyes off of Stormy while she bartend at his buddy, Dylan’s bar. Stormy was extremely attracted to Logan, who wouldn’t be. They had an attraction where you could almost see sparks flying off both of them. Stormy was hiding two big secrets from everyone. Discovering her secrets and what Logan would agree with makes for an exciting read.
HEATH
The first thing you can say about Heath besides he is gorgeous, he is smooth. Most women wouldn’t stand a chance. Heath and Ally met at a doctors’ seminar. They both agreed they would be together for one night only, no last names and no personal information. Their night was so hot I checked to see if my phone was on fire. They ran into each other at the bar and decided it would be a two night stand. When it’s hot it’s hot. This is another great book by Melissa Foster.
JACKSON
Jackson and Erica, Laney to Jackson, were best friends with benefits since high school. Jackson “dated” many girls and Laney had been dating Bryce for nine months. Jackson and Laney would never commit to monogamy to the other people they dated, thus allowing for their plus benefits. The two of them went on an annual camping trip. Jackson was on the phone with Heath when Laney came slamming through his door, yelling get your clothes off. Bryce had asked Laney to marry him, which had ruined everything in Laney’s mind. Both Laney and Jackson were torn about what would be best for Laney. They had those thoughts hanging over their heads during their camping trip.
COOPER
Celeste or Cici had to go to Bay City which was returning to the scene of the crime. Both Cici and Cooper were in Bay City for Bay City Film Festival. They spent the week together and fell head over heels in love. Cooper encouraged her to build her photography business. When the festival was over, they both went their own way with promises of forever. Cici discovered she was pregnant and Cooper never answered her phone calls or text. She hated to go back to the Bay City Film Festival but she needed the money as she and almost three and a half Melody were moving to New York City to accommodate the large contracts she had landed. Cooper was a famous photographer now and she was sure he wouldn’t go to the festival. She got to her hotel room and decided to avoid the bar and to have room service. A bottle of wine, a cheese plate and a side of French bread, a hot bath and a good book sounded like heaven to her. There was a knock on the door and she excitedly thought my wine is here!
She opened the door and there stood Cooper.

All four books are great reads and books you don’t want to miss!

This boxed set is amazing, a definite must read.
Let's start with logan.
OMG! Logan WILD is so sexy, he's off the charts.. He makes me want to climb his body and have my wicked way with him.. I wish I was Stella right now, I'm actually a little jealous of her (ok a lot).. Logan has a heart of pure gold and a smile that could melt your panties..
A night in his good friends bar, he bumps into 'Stormy' a sexy, confident woman that works behind the bar... But Logan can see her vulnerable side and wants to get to know her.. He sees through her, to the beautiful woman she really is..
Melissa brings her characters to life, as though they're a part of your life and you want to protect them, laugh with them and cry with them..
This series is steamier than her other series and I love it..
If you haven't read her books, then you must be in a cave.. You need to read then NOW, you really need to be a part of her world and you won't be sorry!!
Then there's Heath.
Wow!
These Wild boys are so damn HOT, they make me want to be naughty.. Let's just say, my husband loves Melissa right now... Heath makes your heart race, your breath hitch and your panties wet..
He's also loving, caring, and a perfect gentleman..
What starts out as two people meeting in a bar and having a little, no strings fun, turns into so much more..
Even though falling in love was the last thing either of them wanted, they can't avoid what's happening and their connection is off the charts...
Heath and Ally have both been badly burned by their exes, which causes them to be very guarded..
I'm loving the Wild brothers, they are a little hotter and steamier than Melissa's other books.. You seriously need to read this series, or you will miss out..

We can't forget Jackson.
Omg! I love this series, the Wild boys are every girls dream..
Jackson is to die for, He's just... Mmmmm!!
He loves Laney so much, he has since the first time they met, when they were kids... But they're just friends...... With benefits!!
If you're a fan of Melissa Foster, then you will love this hotter, sexier series!! I know I do!!

And last but not least, theres Cooper. Mmmm, Mmmm Mmmmm...
Wow! These Wild men are every girls dream, gorgeous, caring and sexyyyy!!
Cooper and Cici met four years ago and fell madly in love, but a devastating event keeps them apart.. Cooper sets out to find her and make things right, he can't carry on without her.. My heart broke for them both as they fight for each other..
This series is awesome and if you haven't read them yet, then you really need to, I guarantee you won't be disappointed!!

I love a binge worthy boxed set. It is wonderful to go right to the next story and these brothers are so close that you want more of all of them. They share a common family tragedy that impacts each one of them in different ways. I love how Melissa Foster has connected these characters to previous ones in the bigger Love in Bloom series and also introduces characters that are focused on later.

Logan
I love how Melissa Foster reveals her characters to the reader, and to each other, in the opening chapter of this book. Already many emotions are felt. Stormy and Logan meet under difficult circumstances. But as Stormy shares bits of her life a bigger problem exists. This book is filled with tension and emotion as Logan protects Stormy and and finds a way to give her back her life. Loved it.

Heath
Wow. The first chapter of this book is just plain HOT. Who would have guessed that Heath the professional had so many rules for his sex life. As we learn more about him we can understand how they came to be. And Ally is the perfect combination of snark and self sufficient woman with her own set of past relationship issues. I truly loved how Melissa Foster brought these to characters to their HEA bit by bit. You can’t help but love them.

Jackson
These books just keep getting hotter and hotter. While this is a friends to lovers romance as described by the author it is also so much more. This friendship is unique and its physical component is out of this world. The relationship of Jackson and Laney unfolds through both memories and current events, weaved together effortlessly by author Melissa Foster. As they celebrate Laney’s birthday with their annual camping trip some tough decisions need to be made by Laney that will have an impact on their friendship. We are kept on edge til the very end of this book. Another riveting 5 star read.

Cooper
Cooper and Cici’s story was probably the most emotional of them all as it goes in-depth into the tragedy that has affected the Wild brothers and how Cooper describes its impact on his life. My heart broke for both of these characters as they try to mend their relationship after not seeing each other for four years. Cooper must make amends to Cici’s and she carries both anger and a secret. The writing of Melissa Foster will keep you enthralled and always wanting for more.

Four brothers, bound by love of family and made even stronger by tragedy. How do they handle life after the attack on their parents? How do they survive, move forward, and find happiness? How do they find love?

The oldest, Logan, a private investigator, meets Stormy, a woman with a damaged past, and comes to her rescue using his skills to keep her safe. He is a protector. Along the way, sparks fly between them and he reveals his past. He learns that there is something more to his life beyond his anger and there is a chance for true happiness.

Heath, a physician, had been cheated on in a college relationship and decided that he didn’t want another. Other than for family, there was no love in his life, just a woman or two from time to time, to satisfy his basic needs. He meets Ally, and his life will never be the same. Two people who both have trust issues find that they are finally willing to put their hearts on the line. They take the chance to open up, and find forever love.

Jackson, second to the youngest, is a successful photographer with a best friend he’s had since his teen years. Laney, was his first sexual partner, the person who he loves as much as his family, but who is in a relationship with another guy while he and she still carry on as best friends sleeping together. What happens when her boyfriend asks her to marry him? Soul searching, doubt, fear… Can he let go of the relationship they’ve shared for 13 years? Finally, he realizes that she is the one and only woman for him.

Finally, Cooper, the youngest, also a successful photographer, has so many opportunities to sleep with beautiful women. But there is one woman, Cici, with whom he fell in love years prior, but “left” based on the tragedy that rocked his family. He finds her again, but she’s convinced that all of the promises he’d made to her were empty. And, she has a secret that will change his world if she tells him. They have a lot of things to work out if they want to be happy together for the rest of their lives.

Four brothers who find love and happiness with 4 special women. Four brothers who are powerful, successful, treasure family, and are lucky enough to recognize the chance for lifelong happiness when it finally comes their way. The Wild boys are fabulous!

Melissa Foster is the queen of writing amazingly wonderful male characters. They are the kind of men every woman would like to meet. In this collection, she has combined the stories of the 4 Wild brothers. They have all been emotionally damaged by the death of their father in a burglary that blinded their mother. While they all love women, they don't do relationships - until they each meet the right woman.
Logan is a Private Investigator who manages to save a female bartender from being attacked by a drunk patron. While he fixed this problem she had a more dangerous worry. Her ex-boyfriend would be getting out of jail in a few days and she was worrying that he would come after her. Logan manages to keep her safe and fall in love at the same time.
Heath is a doctor who had a one night stand at a medical convention in Vermont only to come back to NY to find that his hook up was actually a lab tech at the hospital he consulted at. Once they found each other again, there was no keeping them apart.
Jackson had a friends with benefits situation with a girl he'd known since High School. While they saw other people they were still best friends and had a relationship that went beyond sex. When Laney received a proposal from her current boyfriend, everything blows up. While they love each other, can Jackson ever settle down and become a one woman man?
Cooper met a woman at a Film Festival 4 years before and after only a few days, he knew that she was the one for him. He went home with the intention of seeing her within a week but then his father died and he fell apart. Finally, seeing his brothers healing and finding love, he tries to find the love of his life again. When he sees her again, they talk all night to get everything out in the open but she ran out of time before she could tell him that they had a daughter when she had to go home after her sister broke her ankle. Unknown to her, Cooper follows and finds a surprise when the door is opened by a little girl.
All 4 brothers manage to find their Happily Ever Afters and their relationships are even better afterwards.
I received an advanced copy of this book in return for an honest review.

All of the Wild brothers are swoon-worthy and very romantic!! Here are short teasers into their lives and a glimpse of the women who won their hearts.

Logan
Logan Wild is like a modern day Superman! He is a hero who served his country and also a protector, who came to Stella’s rescue one night in a dark alley. Their eyes met across the bar where Stella was working and she found him so handsome that she couldn’t concentrate on her job. She doesn’t trust easily but something about Logan’s demeanor interested her. From the moment he saw Stella, Logan knew that he needed to know more about her. Why was Stella already in his heart and could Logan possibly keep her there?

Heath
Heath Wild is a busy doctor who has devoted his life to his patients and his close-knit family. He doesn’t have room in his life for romantic entanglements...until he met Ally at a medical conference. She was smart, beautiful and fun to be with. Their last names were not important and exchanging personal information was not part of the plan. With the conference coming to a close, he couldn’t let her go without having some way to keep in touch. What will happen when the desire to see Ally again opens up Heath’s life to the chance at a future filled with love and happiness?

Jackson
Jackson and Erica were childhood friends whose feelings grew more serious as they got older. They supported each other in their careers and spent a lot of time together sharing their hopes and dreams. She was his best friend and he had always loved her. Jackson couldn’t think of a life without her. When she receives a surprising proposal, will he let her go or finally pour his heart out to her and tell her how he really feels? Erica can’t envision a life without Jackson by her side, but she needs him to show her that they have a future together. Will Erica get the answers she deserves from Jackson or will their special friendship change forever?

Cooper
All the Wild brothers are sexy and romantic but Cooper won my heart with the love he had for Cici. No one in his family knew about the beautiful photographer he had met and fell in love with. After his Dad died, Cooper was in a bad place and he didn’t want to burden Cici with his sorrow and anger, so he let her go. Cooper never forgot about Cici, and now that his brothers had found their soulmates, he knew it was time to go to her and beg for her forgiveness. When he saw her again, it was like time stood still and all his feelings for her were just as strong as the day they first met. Will Cici accept Cooper’s explanation for his absence and agree to give him a second chance?

These are not your mother’s romance novellas! The Wild Boys are wild in every sense of the word and live up to their name, however they possess the capacity to deepy love and cherish the women they fall for. All it takes is the right woman.

The Wild Boys are four brothers who each deal differently with the loss of their father during a home invasion that left their mother blind. Heartache, guilt, loss and unlimited amounts of love leave these brothers closer and more protective of those they love. Sunday dinners with their mom are a tradition they keep no matter what and helps reveal the big hearts these four men have.

Logan
Logan and Stella are the first to fall in love. Sizzling chemistry is instant for these two, but soon deepens to something more. Stella/Stormy is hiding from her past and Logan becomes her protector, but in the process discovers he might need a little protection/healing of his own. Unbelievable passion, secrets and something so much more awaits these two if both are willing to take the chance.

Heath

Logan - 5 Stars - Wild Boys After Dark tells us the story of Logan, a PI, and Stella(Stormy), a waitress in a bar in NYC. They are both drawn to each other, for reasons that neither of them can explain. Stella is on the run and in hiding, and once Logan gets a hold of her, he wants to do whatever he can to help her regardless of what it takes.

This book was emotional, hot and had me hooked from the very beginning. It is definitely a must read and I am so excited to see what is in store next for the Wild brothers!

Heath - 5 Stars - Ohhh Heath and Ally, Heath and Ally. I am now officially ready to find my own Heath and take him home with me!

Heath and Ally met randomly one night while attending a conference out of town. Both wanted no strings but were NOT prepared for the sparks that flew between them. Was one night going to be enough?

The two reconnected back in the city, and Heath decided that he wanted Ally in his life for good, and he was willing to do whatever it took to prove that he was a good bet.

The story had me hooked from the beginning, and I wasn't able to put it down until the end! It was emotional, steamy, and it'll have you begging for more when it's done!

Jackson - 4 Stars for Jackson and Laney. This story line was a bit different from what Melissa has normally done and one that I didn't 100% love.

When Laney receives a proposal, things between the two of them shift completely as she and Jackson go on their yearly camping trip. A lot of big decisions need to be made for these two, and it'll be interesting to see this friends to lovers story shift to forever.

Cooper - 4 Stars again for Cooper and Cici! I enjoyed Cooper's story more thank Jackson, but REALLY wished that Cici had been a bit more "tough love"ish toward him when it came to forgiving him of his past errors. She seemed to forgive and forget very quickly without really hashing out the past. That was my main issue. That aside, this was a well written book by Melissa foster and a good end to the collection.

Melissa Foster's Billionaires After Dark Boxed Set includes 4 novellas about the Wild Boys. I read the books when they first came out and enjoyed reading them all again in this boxed set. Each book can be read as a stand alone (which is how I read them) but I love the fact that you can read all of the books together with this boxed set. From a friends to lovers, one night stand or secret baby - the Wild boys have all you could want.

Logan and Stella are the first couple. Stella is hiding from an ex and Logan is a PI who decides to protect her. A very fast paced, action filled romance.

Heath and Allyson are a one-night stand romance. I am a medical laboratory scientist, so Allyson's job made this book really fun to read. I love that Melissa described the job pretty accurately. Heath and Allyson end up working at the same hospital. They of course have a happy ending as well - but it's a fun ride while they get there.

Jackson and Laney have been friends forever. Friends with benefits. Laney's current boyfriend asks her to marry him and things quickly go sideways. Laney has to decide what she wants in life because she can't marry Bryce and keep her FWB relationship with Jackson. A very fast past, heat filled novella.

Last but certainly not least - Cooper decides that he is going to find his "one". Back before his parent's were attached and the Wild boy's world was forever changed, Cooper met his girl. Celeste "Cici" Fine returns to the Bay City film festival four years after she first met Cooper Wild there. While in Bay City the two both discover their love for each other hasn't dwindled. Cici has to leave the festival because of a family emergency and when Cooper follows her he finds out he has a daughter. Rocky times follow, but love prevails. Another happy ending for the Wild Boys.

I really enjoyed re-reading the Wild Boys and returning to New York City and places like Peaceful Harbor - visiting old friends and cherished memories.

Welcome to the world of the Wilds. These boys are wild strong men who look after there mama, after she was a victim of a viscous home invasion in which the Wild boys lost their dad. A few years on the young men are still dealing of the consequences of that night.

Logan who was serving in Afghanistan at the time of the attack is private investigator who by chances saves stormy from a unwanted encounter in an alley. Stormy though has her own demons that she running from, literally. Logan asks for Stormys trust that he can help her, however Stormy has been burnt before.

Heath is a healer in every sense. As a doctor and part career for his mum, he has no time for dating. However when he meet a past flame, be begins to realise that he may just want more than one night. Allyson Jenner has only ever had one one night stand, it’s just her luck that he would walk into her lab and actually works in her hospital.

Jackson Wild loves women, but he has only let one women repeated on the scene. Being Laneys bed buddy works for both of them, until Laney is offered marriage. But with that offer their arrangement would have to stop. This ultimatum has knocked their very comfortable arrangement off kilter and Laneys not sure if she can turn down a decent off and give up her true love when she will only ever be a bed bunny.

Cooper Wild is a broken man. After the loss of his father he goes off the rails and can’t seem to find his way back. Until he comes across Cici who he met four years ago at a film festival. As they attend the same film festival their lives have taken two very different paths. However for Cici there is no man quiet like Cooper Wild, but he left her with a surprise baby and simply disappeared.

Logan:
I really enjoyed this story. The characters are easy to relate to and I love their personalities. Yes it was more of a insta love but that didn't take away from the story. This romance had the right amount of action thrown in to make it really come full circle. Opening your heart can be hard at times but when fate steps in you have no control. I can't wait to read more of this series.

Heath:
One night stands can sometimes come back to bite us in the butt or be the best mistake you ever made. I loved watching these characters come together. It was done at the perfect pace and it didn't feel rushed but more like a slow burn. I love this authors writing style and although there wasn't as much action as Logan's story I still enjoyed it. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Jackson:
I really loved Jackson and Laney and was so excited to get my hands on this book. I enjoyed the writing but.... I just can't wrap my head around so many things. I really love cheating books but it needs to be done in a very clean cut way for me and this was not. It just felt like it wasn't that big of a deal. Give me tears, pain heartbreak some kind of consequence. It just wasn't my cup of tea but I'm sure many people will love it. This author is incredible and I look forward to reading the next book.


Cooper:
Heartbreak can blind you and make you do horrible things. People can change and become more worthy but it does take time. This book was more of the cheating book I enjoy but I did feel like forgiveness was given rather quickly. This couple is amazing and I do love them together. The writing kept me hooked throughout and I will definitely read more from this author in the future.

Logan:
Pure raw emotions is the best way to overall describe this story . Melissa has been one of my favorite authors for some time now, but I think this one has touched me the most. I read this story in less than a day. It just draws you in.

Logan and Stella, aka Stormy will draw you in and make you feel vulnerable. This book is raw. I don't want to give away spoilers, but prepare to fall in love with Logan from the third page on. You will hear names of other characters from the Braden series which was a very nice touch.

Heath:
Hot....hot....hot. Heath will steal your heart. All Heath and Ally wanted was a no strings attached hook up. But really with sex can there even be no strings attached. Ally claimed Heath's heart and Heath broken down Ally's wall. Love will always find a way. If you love sex, love,and family you will love this story .

Jackson:
My favorite Wild boy story. Jackson and Erica "Laney" are hot hot hot. Friends with benefits always has complications and their story has more than most. No guy ever stood a chance in Laney heart besides Jackson and vica versa. A must read if you love hot sex and even better friendship. A foundation for life.

Cooper:
Cooper as the youngest Wild brother is probably not he one you would assume would inherit the immediate family, but he does. 4 years ago Cooper meet CiCi and fell in love. Tragedy struck and CiCi didn't hear from Cooper again....until 4 years later when Cooper attends a function because CiCi is going to be there. Sparks fly again and Cooper finds out he didn't only leave CiCi 4 years ago, but also a daughter. True win always wins out.

Four hunky brothers in a boxed set... sign me up!! Or as Logan's girl Stella "Stormy" Barnes said, "..lucky to be having dinner with four handsome men, but it's really kind of unfair. Four tall, dark, and blue-eyed brothers, with rock hard bodies built for a fight? Seriously. What did your parents do, pay off the DNA police?" This line fits this series to a T. These brothers will do anything to protect their women. Reviews for each story below :

Logan

Logan is an ex Navy SEAL turned Private Investigator after a robbery that left his dad dead and his mother blind and he gets his revenge by protecting those that need it the most. Stella "Stormy" is on the run from her abusive drug dealing ex fearing for her life and away from the person that means the most to her during a difficult time, her mother. Logan is just what Stella needs to stop living in fear and have the life she deserves. Burn your fingers on the pages sexy times with a few action packed scenes makes Logan a scorcher of a read. We also get to meet the Sweetwater gang in this book, which if you haven't picked those up I highly recommend you do!

Heath
WOW, clutch your pearls from the first page wow.. I'm not a pearl clutcher but if you are the first two chapters aren't for you. Allyson and Heath and silk ties oh my! Random I wanted to name my daughter Allyson but I have boys so I'll live vicariously through this little vixen in this story. She has the sass that brings Dr. Heath Wild to his knees. This novella moved a little quicker for me even though it's not the shortest of the stories. Allyson is definitely my girl and Heath has quickly become my favorite of the bunch. This book moved with passion on the page and a cute kitty to boot. The growth on the pages made you want to keep reading!

Jackson

Jackson and Erica "Laney" the second shortest of the set but it did not disappoint. I was a bit taken back at some of the sexual escapades not that it bothered me it was just odd to me about certain things being used if a couple is exclusive with that certain action. Still not clutching my pearls over it though and I was happy that avenue had been addressed in a book finally. Read it and find out what I'm talking about. Jackson is half of the photography duo with Cooper, and has been in love with Laney forever and it takes her ignoring him for him to come to his senses and see that it has always been her. I loved the tattoo idea between the two of them and the way their HEA unfolded. Even being shorter than the rest in the set so far , it still was a great story.

Cooper
The shortest of the stories with just ten chapters but let me tell you all ten of those chapters packed a full on HEA punch to the heart. I almost made it through the book without crying ( I cry at all Melissa's books) and the last chapter slayed me. Two hearts that were meant to be and a surprise that will keep you smiling, Cici protects that surprise with her life and her family is made complete in the end after learning of Coopers tragedy and why he was the way he was towards her. The sparks flew from chapter two and I could not put the book down.
