A compilation of the separate reviews for the boxset.

Everest
4.5 stars

I am not sure that there is anything that this author cannot write. She manages to draw via words an entire character(s) or scene to a degree that if you close your eyes you could picture them/it right before you. They seem tangible and real. They come with flaws. They have their insecurities. Yet, because of how they are portrayed you can feel what they feel. You get a birds-eye view of how their mind works. This is not something that is easy to do and yet this author does it flawlessly.

This is especially true of Everest and Singer. How often have we felt insecure around someone else, especially if in our mind they are a God or Goddess and we are just mere mortals? This book started out a bit slower than her other works but I knew that this author would not disappoint and she didn't. Everest became like the mountain and I wanted to climb him. Literally and figuratively. He was deliciousness in a God-like body. While he seemed immovable and unreachable it became apparent as the story progressed that there was more to his demeanor than what showed on the surface. Singer, how I adored her, I loved that she was such a free spirit. She loved wholly and unconditionally.

I cannot recommend this author enough. Every character she writes leaves its mark on your soul. Just when you think one character has one the top spot as book boyfriend then along comes another flawed hero and he takes the throne until the cycle repeats.


Bad Reputation: A Second Chance Billionaire Royal Romance
4.5 stars

A modern Day fairytale with a twist. Going in I knew this book was going to be special. As soon as Hutton met Ally in the bar, I knew that theirs was a connection made in the stars. The author did an exceptional job creating a new and improved version of how royalty works and one that I am all about supporting. She manages to weave a story with banter, and sincerity, and a whole lot of Southern Charm. I loved Hutton's brother, Everest, but Hutton has him beat in this book.

I loved everything about Hutton and his connection with his Princess. Even though the connection was there from the very start this was not an instant-love romance. Time was put into this relationship and I appreciated that. Aly was a princess with a gypsy soul. I am not sure if anything could truly have tamed her zest for life other than Hutton and it is that reason that further recertified why they were true soulmates.

This story shows that Happily ever after comes in a plethora of ways and that love ultimately triumphs...especially if it comes in the form of a strong stubborn Texan man not willing to lose his princess.


Force of Nature
The magic of words

To say that I have been eagerly waiting for this book is an understatement. For weeks now, this author has been giving little snippets of this amazing story via pictures on social media. Each picture lured me in because they were aesthetically sublime. I figured that they were there to just build up the anticipation and would help enhance the story even though I know from experience that this author doesn't need any help because she always creates an amazing story. However, I was wrong. These pictures DID help her story but not in the way that I thought they would. It was as if by seeing those pictures the story came even more alive. Each scene in the book took on a new life. If I closed my eyes, I could see the pictures and words become one as the story unfolded. This was MAGIC.

I need to preface this review that while Bennett could "technically be considered part of series following his brother's book, it is completely a standalone. I have adored these brothers from the beginning. I was always told to not pick favorites, but I couldn't help myself. Bennett was always going to be my favorite. After reading this book, I can see why. He made my jaded heart into a believer that love can be selfless. He was this mountain of a man that lived up to his last name. Winter. This poor damaged girl with a warrior’s spirit and resilience. Together, they made me melancholy for Paris and also made me shake my fist at the Universe for not letting me experience love like this when I spent a summer there.

This book is filled with love, suspense, and secrets. However, it ultimately showed that love can always overcome any obstacle. This book is hands down my favorite of the brothers and in the top three of ALL of her books. I cannot recommend this book enough.
