Think high school was complicated? Welcome to the after party! Filled with billionaires, pro athletes, a biker, a cop, a crown prince, and even a white knight or two, this collection gathers 12 of the hottest adult romance stories!
Saltwater Kisses - Krista Lakes (NYT/USAT). Winning an island vacation, Emma meets Mr. Right but bids him a bittersweet good-bye after a make-believe marriage. Shock follows when their picture hits the paper and she learns the man of her dreams is Jack Saunders, the world's most eligible billionaire.
Fight For You - Adriana Hunter (NYT/USAT). Born into a life of privilege, Angela is the girl least likely to capture street fighter and hustler Liam Cross's heart. Yet a chance encounter sparks an uncontrollable passion, until his past threatens to tear them apart and they must face their true nature and needs.
Sexting Curves - Christa Wick (NYT/USAT). When a cell phone skirmish with her best friend exposes Lillian's intense and very naughty crush on Major Jones, will the misdirected text turn fantasy to reality?
Skin Deep - Dez Burke (NYT/USAT). Hired to ease racing champion Shane Davis back into society after a crash left him disfigured, Angela is shocked by the hard want his simmering glances produce. Will the no-strings-attached affair convince them that both beauty and scars are only skin deep?
This Crazy Little Thing - Tamryn Ward. When a wish has the original plain Jane waking in her coworker's size 2 body, she learns life for the perfectly proportioned isn't a fairytale-come-true - until she meets Jason Foxx, the billionaire ex-boyfriend to Jane's new body.
Tough to Love: Saving Avery - Ava Catori (NYT/USAT). Pro footballer Steel Brickman could be the white knight Avery needs to escape her troubled past, but her walls are tall and thick and the man is fierce. Will they find love or remain tangled in pain and desire?
Letting You In - Nora Flite. Leah wants to run from her past and every potential happily-ever-after. Instead, she runs straight into southerner Deacon Day. He talks like his mouth is full of syrup and smiles like every second is meant for laughter. Can he help Leah heal, or will she drag him down with her?
Mysterious Desire - Aphrodite Hunt (NYT/USAT). Working as a hotel maid to pay for college, Liz is seduced by a stranger at work. She doesn't expect to see him again, especially when she learns he is Crown Prince Alexander Vassar. Despite being engaged to another woman, Alex professes to desire only Liz. Is this true love or does Alex have an ulterior motive?
Stella & Dane - Deanna Roy. Stella wants to ditch her honky-tonk town when a brutally handsome stranger rides in on a motorcycle and their explosive love affair ignites disapproving locals. When a bar fight turns tragic, will the couple learn their love runs deeper than their reputations?
A World Away - Lila Lacroix. Sophie is getting over her ex with a semester abroad. But life and love in Paris are complicated. With her heart in danger of falling into the wrong hands again, will she choose local photographer Jacques or Philippe, the darkly attractive grad student with a turbulent past.
The Game Of Love - Terry Towers (NYT/USAT). Facing eviction, Janelle signs up for a reality TV show. To claim the cash prize, she must fall in love - or at least convince the audience.

"I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads."
I will post reviews as I read each book - but enjoyed all I have read so far.
Krista Lake - instant attraction never felt so good, or so bad for the protagonists of this billionaire romance. Patience is the lesson of this tale.
Fight for You - Adriana Hunt. When a group of girls find themselves on the wrong side of town they are rescued by a local MMA contender. Changing the expectations of two people from very different sides of town takes work, but we are treated to a fascinating journey as Liam and Angela uncover the truths about each other, and themselves. A good read.

Tangled: A New Adult Romance Boxed Set (12 Book Bundle of Billionaires, Bad Boys, and Royalty)
A very mixed bundle. I found some stories very boring and had to force myself to finish them. Not as good as I thought they would be.

Please note that this is a review in progress and I will update each title with a review once I have read the book. For now here are the reviews of what I have read so far.
This is another box set that is simply unbelievable value. I have already read a couple of the books in the collection so when I was given a copy of the collection to review I jumped at the chance and delved straight in. To give you a good sense of if the books in the collection are going to be for you I will review and rate each one individually.
Saltwater Kisses by Krista Lakes - 5 Stars
This was one of the books in the collection that I had previously read, infact I own the whole series that Saltwater Kisses is a part of. Each book can be read as a standalone as each story contains a different couple from the group of people the series contains. This story is all about Emma who wins a holiday to an exclusive island where she meets Jack with no idea of who he is. They connect and have a great time while together on the island, even having a fake wedding, complete with pictures! Only problem is that someone saw that `wedding' and now the press believe they actually tied the knot!!
I loved this book and the interactions between the two leads was lovely. There is a part in the story where Emma has to confront the `in-laws' that was heart wrenching. I loved this the first time round and loved it even more the second.

The Game of Love by Terry Towers - 4 Stars
What happens when you go onto a reality show where you are thrown together with 6men and 6women to compete to win $200,000 as the ultimate viewers favourite and a possible other $200,000 and a house in the town of one of the contestants named the viewers favourite couple? This is the story of Janelle and Mason who find the answers to those questions when they meet and fall for eachother in those exact circumstances.
The problem that I had with this book is that it was just too short for me. Yes I liked the story and the lead characters but you never really got to know them. A lot of their relationship was glossed over as was a lot of the reality show which I thought was a pity as it could have led to some interesting situations, especially as one of the contestants was a porn star! Ultimately they do get their HEA but I just wish that we could have had a bit more story before that came about.
Unwillingly Yours by Marian Tee - 5 stars
This was the other book in the collection that I had read previously but it had been a while since I read it. Marian Tee is one of my favourite authors and I have read each and every one of her books. This was previously titled Warning: Love Moderately and there is a sequel due out early this year. The story could, I suppose, be read as a standalone, but, having read all other series by Ms Tee I would imagine that it would be best read as a whole story.
This book is all about a shy `nerd' of a girl, Jaike, who is, at the beginning of the story, dating a Italian/American guy called Angelo. Only problem is that although she cares about him her body believes that it belongs to someone else, that someone is Derek, a hunky dominant Greek man. When Jaike's world comes tumbling around her who is there to help her along but Derek. The man who has lusted after her for 3years, the man who was devastated when she chose Angelo over him, the man who will now own her. . . the way that she already owns him. Yup, it's time for another steamy read from Ms Tee, if indeed an all too brief glimpse, of the relationship that there is going to be between Jaike and Derek.

Tangled: A New Adult Romance Boxed Set (12 Book Bundle of Billionaires, Bad Boys, and Royalty)
I love box sets they give me works of authors that sometimes I do not know and others that I do. This box set is no exception. First it has a story my author Marian Tee, one of my top 5 favorite authors. She always delivers the goods and this time was no exception. Terry Towers, Aphrodite Hunt, and Adriana Hunter are just a few of the other authors that I have read and enjoyed. They are some wicked writers with wonderful stories to tell. Another thing that the bundle gave me was an introduction to a couple of new authors, Krista Lakes and Christa Wick. I love this because it helps me sample their writing while allowing me to feel like I got the best buy.
As a reader, I can honestly say that this box set is some wicked hot reads and if you are like me you will love it. Some stories are more sexual then others but I can say yummy.

If you are a lover of boxed sets look no further! This set will satisfy. It includes author's that are known to delight, for me those are: Marian Tee, Dez Burke, Adriana Hunter and Aphrodite Hunt. It also introduces new authors that I look forward to reading more from in the future.

This was one book I actually had difficulties to finish reading. It contained some really good novels, but others felt like a waste of time.
