Skip it.

This kind of sucked. It started off well but it just never really went anywhere. The characters were flat and parts of the plot were confusing.

It is the forts time that I read books of this author. I enjoyed this book. It reminded me a little of Jordan Silver, Suzanne Steele. I will definately read the rest of this series.

Very good. I am glued to the pages.... Cannot wait to read the last installment!

Very good! I will be looking for more books by this author. I enjoyed this series and will look forward to the next books about the brother and sister!

A 5 book boxed set about a group of friends finding love in Canyon Cove. All that romantic goodness in 1 box set. Wonderful to curl up on a cold evening eith a cup of wine or hot chocolate and lose yourself in toe curling romance.

Book 1—Playing Games—Cassie & Gabriel. Cassie is unsure about Gabriel since she was warned about his womanising ways.

Book 2—No Regrets—Deborah & Will. Will is keeping secrets, and it causes huge problems when Deborah found out.

Book 3—Second Chance—Tara & Mason. Mason wants to mend past mistakes, but can they oovercome a meddling family member.

Book 4—Hearts Collide—Jackie & Brent. Jackie has lots of baggage including a meddling ex. Brent is blinded by past mistakes.

Book 5—Perfect Together—Becca & Gideon. Can best friends be more?

You will have to read the bx set to find the answers to these questions. :-)

Thank you to the publisher for providing me with an ARC and the opportunity to read and review this book.

I was not wowed by this book but I did like it. It was cute, fast, and who does not love a old rich man who falls in love with the poor girl. I thought it was cute but I am one of those people who hate when the author writes a little bit of the book and then makes you purchase the next few chapters and then you end up paying $10 for a book that would have sold better if it was all together and cost $4.99 or something like that.

Liliana Rhodes is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author who writes Contemporary and Paranormal Romance. This complete Paranormal Romance novella tells the story of Lilac and Julien. It's a beautifully written vampire story and is part of the Skeleton Key series. This is a standalone novella with an HEA, the only thing linking it to the series is the Skeleton Key. The author had great creativity when coming up with this romantic installment, her style definitely suitable for the intended audience. I enjoyed how resilient their love was, even centuries couldn’t dull it. I think it could have used a bit more intimacy while still keeping it clean. I’m recommending this incredible read to all the bleeding hearts out there, giving it a 4 out of 5 rating. This copy gifted to me by the Publisher for an honest review.

This is Book 1 of The Crane Curse Series. Somehow, the romance part was not working, I don't feel the connection between Caleb and Hannah. It was dull and rushed. However, will be looking forward to read the next book. It was a nice story.

Like most boxed sets, this has some good, some not so good.

Overall a fun read. None of the books are very long, some are short novellas, but fun to read if you're into paranormal romance books.

Fated Mates: The Alpha Shifter Boxed Set by Michelle Fox, Adriana Hunter, Liliana Rhodes, Lynn Red, A.T. Mitchell, Skye Eagleday, Alexis Dare, Eve Langlais, Georgette St. Claire, A.E. Grace

Let me start by stating that I am a shape-shifter-a-holic. So to say this is the perfect box set for someone like me would be an understatement. One of the things I love about boxed sets by various authors is it gives you an opportunity to discover new authors as well as offer you the comfort of reading the work of writers you have enjoyed in the past.

While having the common shifter theme, each story is very different and refreshing. I definitely felt like I was reading a distinctive story with every author. Each one was enjoyable and kept me engaged. This is a must buy for any paranormal shifter lover!

Complimentary copy provided in exchange for an honest review.

Everything was rushed, nothing was believable, and it came off as some sort of cheap 50 Shades ripoff. I really thought the writing was pretty terrible as well. Stupid free Kindle books always let me down!½

Ashley Monroe has a graduate degree in Art History but has found herself unemployed and living on her best friend's couch, just trying to scrape by and get her life in order. Taking on a temporary waitressing gig for a catering company with her roommate, she meets the infamously sour Alexander Boone, owner of Boone Art Gallery, as well as many other enterprises in his billion-dollar portfolio. They spend a few minutes in a bit of a verbal sparring match (due to Xander's downright rude behavior) but it progresses a bit, leaving Ashley and Xander both wishing for more.

They meet again the next day by accident when she unknowingly applies for and accepts a position (from Xander's mother) as House Manager at his mansion. Xander keeps playing warm and cold with Ashley, leaving her confused but not stopping her heart from being drawn to him. In separate asides about Xander, we learn that he is just as attracted to her, although the story is not developed enough for us to see that by how he treats Ashley. Instead, we learn piece by piece parts of Xander's past which start to help us understand why he is so cold to everyone.

This novella ends on a cliff-hanger creating the necessity of picking up "Part 2" of the story [His One Desire] to find out what happens next. From the author's blog, it looks like there are two more parts after that, and it may be a continuing series.

This story does have potential but unfortunately it needs a little bit of tweaking. I don't exactly know how to explain it, but the characters need to be developed more so we can feel a little more vested in what happens to them. At this point, all I see is that Xander is a jerk and Ashley is needy and insecure. I am not inclined to care about either one of them...yet, although I can sense where the author was trying to go and I so want her to be able to do that.

There are several parts that are handled too quickly and left me in a "wait! what?" momentary confusion. One example is the scene near the end where she follows the florist and finds Xander. I think a little tension or conflict about Ashley's arrival, then an acceptance and resolution of her invading his private world, would have been helpful before Xander jumped right into his speech. More dialogue with each other is needed all throughout the story to help us slowly get to know what the characters are thinking and feeling. Slower pacing and seeing them actually develop some kind of actual relationship would be helpful to the reader to believe in them. The way it is now, it appears they've only been in each other's company a handful of times, so it would be unbelievable to think they could even be friends, let alone feel more for each other.

I see the author has her first novel coming out, [Lucky Break], so maybe with an experienced editor peeking over her shoulder, those kinds of issues will be ironed out. : )½
