Definitely buy this boxset.

This author when I first discovered these books singularly was a then-new to me author. I was FLOORED at how amazing each of these books was. There is a depth in the characters that are genuine as well as complex. From the first page, I was mesmerized and in the end, I was sad because I didn’t want the book to end. I binge-read them in a row and then had the worst book hangover. This boxset is such an amazing deal and I would one-click it immediately because there isn’t a bad book out of the bunch. I have included an individual review of each of the books.

Holy crikey. This book was recommended to me, so I decided is to give it a shot. The blurb was compelling but sweet lawd... It did not prepare me for the rollercoaster of emotions that this book was going to evoke. Trust me when I say that there is a lot of angst and emotions in this book.

The author touches on a pretty painful and often dismissed aspect of how to live life after a traumatic event. My heart hurts for Annabelle and Archer. Phenomenal characters, secondary characters, steam, and a mind-blowing amount of details make this story resonate on so many levels.

I cannot wait for Jake's story.

Sweet holy hell. This author combo is sublime. How I had never heard of them I will never know. The setting and foundations of these stories is in a league all their own. Character development and steamy moments are some of the best out there.

If I could remember who recommended this series, I would be giving them a huge cyber hug and buying them a coffee.

Anxious to see where this series goes next.

(Leaves of a Maple #3)

Everything about this story was perfection. I love the fact that all the previous characters have an integral role in this book even though this is Bennett and Darci’s story. These aren't just friends but rather family. Again, every moment is given such attention that it helps it become more authentic and helps me to get lost in the story. This entire series is one that will go in my all-time vault.

I cannot wait to read about Luca and Francesca. ( )
