This is the complete collection of ME stories and contains six separate books from the series. Each of the books is sweet yet steamy, with the main female character having a choice of romantic interludes to decide upon. In the first book, baker Saffron has opened up her own bakery called Sugar & Spice and has regular weekly get togethers with old and new friends, to test out recipes for any new goods, before she reveals them to her paying customers. One of her oldest friends is Daniel, who she had a huge crush on, but nothing ever happened and he is always making fun of her. Her female bestie is Jazz (Jasmine) and both are without other halves, but not for long. Daniel brings one of her fellow workers with him on one of their taster evenings, a man called Cal, and there is an instant attraction! He tries to get her alone, but Daniel always seems to appear or get in the way. Cal wants to do things properly and take her on a date, but it is not a date like anything she expected, when his brother Evan is there as well! It seems they like to share and Saffron is beginning to find out that she is more adventurous than she ever thought. Add in Daniel, suddenly wanting to get involved and she now has a trio of interested men!
In the next book, the main character is a modern day Queen to be, after her mother had to abdicate due to ill health. But she won’t be able to become queen and have her coronation, until she is married, according to an ancient law in her land. It doesn’t help that her cousin Margaret wants to take the throne out from under her and has turned up with a very unexpected fiancé on her arm! If Amara doesn’t get married before Margaret, she could lose her throne, before she can have her coronation! She has to attend a ball for her mother’s birthday, even though her mother can’t, and knows there will be lots of single men and royalty trying to catch her eye and her hand in marriage! One such man is Prince Albert, from foreign lands, but who is very proper and sticking to the correct protocol in all his actions. Shortly after meeting him, her old childhood friend Carter, who was the gardener, but left some seven years ago, knowing he can never have her fully. They caused lots of problems as teens together and were even involved until he left for university and now he is back and working as an accountant, they have started back up together in secret each night. She also has the unwelcome addition of Vincent, someone who has been a pain in her side all of her life. He believes he is on Margaret’s side and trying to get her throne from her. Amara has a heavy burden to follow, a life of duty she has been trained for her whole life, but needing a husband before she can do so, is one step too far, when she wants to marry for love.
The third book has the lead singer of Fifth Element rock band, Hazel, having to figure out what her bandmates, Reed, Jonas and Blake really think of her and whether she should choose between fame and her career, or love. She loves her bandmates, having known them and been altogether since they were twins, but never romantically. They all love her and look out for her, but go off on their own dates after their gigs, worrying about her after a bad end to her last relationship some years before. Now it seems, the guys are wanting to show their true feelings, after a music producer becomes interested in her, but not with her bandmates. Larry wants to represent her and further her musical career, but she doesn’t want to leave her friends and fellow bandmates behind. But when a slightly different aspect to the offer comes about, she is left to ponder what her bandmates really want and what she does as well!
The fourth book has a woman called Sophie having to suddenly learn how to become the CEO of a company she has just inherited, from a father she never even knew. There are certain conditions attached to the will and her new position as CEO of the company and she is given next to no time at all to decide if she will take up the position. She is given a bit of a warning about the other board members and when she meets all five of them, she finds they are not exactly old, fuddy-duddy types like she expected. They are all just a little older than her and while four of them are quite polite to her, one of them, Declan, is on the side of outright rude! The others, Caleb, Emmett, Matt and Bart, all have different personalities, with two of them being outgoing types, one a sculptor who only works part time with the company to do his art, one the strong and silent type and the last one the grumpy one, which you can guess who that is! They have a very close relationship between the five of them, having been together since school and offered the opportunity to work at the company by the owner many years ago. They have worked up to their current positions and are unsure who would be coming in as CEO and how well they would work out. But they have a little bit more than business in mind.
The fifth book is a Cinderella type retelling, but set in the modern world, with the main character Sadie unfortunately having to live with her stepmother and stepsister Rita, whilst attending college to study music on a scholarship. Her step-mother unfortunately controls her trust fund and she doesn’t have the money to stay elsewhere. Her stepmother and stepsister are getting ready for the biggest ball of the year, as the queen was holding a celebration on the occasion of her marriage. Sadie no doubt was invited, but her stepmother wasn’t going to spend any money on her, nor allow her to go! When Sadie sees someone she is instantly attracted to, she takes her gay best friend and fashion designer, Enrique’s, offer to provide her with a suitable dress and shoes, to allow her entry to the wedding reception. She just has to avoid being seen by her stepmother is all! She is invite to dance by Vincent first, from one of the previous tales, as this is the wedding party of Queen Amara, and then swept into the arms of a man called Leo, the very man she saw before and wanted to meet again. You can guess the rest of the story, for the most part, so I won’t say anymore.
The sixth and last book of the collection features an amateur con woman called Katie, who wanted to get revenge for her best friend Renee against the man who broke her friend’s heart. She thought she had gotten away with it, until she was walking away and got stopped by a man, who she later found out was called Carl. He said he had evidence of what she had done and wanted to know if she would help him and his friends, Samuel and Dean, help to con someone else! They do it for the thrill and only against those who deserve it and would never call the police because of the things the marks need to keep hidden from authorities. Katie had found her little job quite thrilling and agrees to join them. She now is in close proximity to three handsome men who are best of friends and work together. She has been added to help with the tasks that need a female operative and to help them run cons they could never have approached in that way before. Another poly relationship is in the offing and Katie has found herself a new line of work.
A great collection of easy to read romances, with some steamy bits added in. I liked how some of them cross referenced to other tales in the collection and updated matters on previous characters. Each story could be read easily on its own and all were very modern takes on a woman’s right to choose what she wants from a relationship and to take what she wants. Permission is very important and I liked how each story stressed the woman’s right to say no at any point. An important lesson for many out in the world today, that can’t be stressed enough! Each tale is a light-hearted romp with a degree of fun and romance, leading to a HEA ending, not just a fling. I received an ARC copy of this collection from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.
Sweet About Me – This is the story of Saffron, Daniel, Cal & Evan. Daniel is one of Saffron’s best friends, but neither one has told the other they feel. Cal & Evan are brothers who definitely have a thing for Saffron and have made it quite obvious. Daniel waits until someone starts showing interest in Saffron before he makes his move. Will Saffron be able to juggle all 3 men? Short and steamy.
Kneel for Me – This is the story of Amara, Albert, Carter and Vincent. Amara is the future Queen who just found out that in order to be queen she has to be married or she loses her throne. Albert is a Prince from Belgium who is attracted to Amara. Carter is the gardener’s son who grew up with Amara and they have always had feelings for each other. Vincent has been Amara’s enemy (or so she thought) from an early age. Amara is not sure who she can trust as her cousin is trying to dethrone her. Another short, steamy story.
Heard from Me – This is the story of Hazel, Jonas, Reed, Blake and Larry (Lawrence).Hazel is the lead singer for the band Fifth Element and has known Reed, Brooks and Jonas since High School. She has been attracted to her bandmates for as long as she can remember, but they have never shown her the same attraction. Larry is a scout for an agency and runs into Hazel one day while she is singing in a studio. What happens to Hazel’s band mates when someone else is interested in her? Of course, they start acting on their feelings. What’s a girl to do when she has 4 men vying for her attention?
Laid by Me – This is the story of Sophie, Matt, Declan, Emmett, Caleb and Bart. Sophie turns out to be the unknown daughter of a wealthy, famous man who has just recently passed away – although she never knew who her father was. The 5 men are the Board of Directors of the company that Sophie is now CEO of. Sophie is expecting them to be old men, not younger, hot looking men! Can Sophie pull off being a CEO for at least a year? Cute, funny story where things aren’t always as they seem.
Dance with Me – This is the story of Sadie and Leo. This is more like a Cinderella story – ball, gown, step-mother and slipper! Sadie is known as Lady Parker and when she turns 25 will inherit her title and trust. However, Sadie doesn’t care about all that. Leo happens to be the brother of Prince Albert (from Kneel for Me), who is also the future King. When Leo and Sadie meet, things light up pretty quickly, and as Cinderella did, Sadie left. Sadie just considered it a one-night stand and didn’t want to think anything more about it. She didn’t want any man getting in the way of her dreams or passion. Will Leo be able to change Sadie’s mind?
Hustle with Me – This is the story of Katie, Carl, Dean and Samuel. Katie works in a call center and gets revenge on an ex-boyfriend of her best friend for hurting her. The guys pull cons on people who do wrong to other people. When Katie picks one of their marks, they end up bringing her into the group to help with a few cons of their own. Katie is reluctant at first but then realizes that she finds this exciting and she realizes she likes her 3 co-conspirators as well. Great story about people righting the wrongs.
Each of these stories were filled with great characters, good storylines and were quick reads. I look forward to reading more from Laura Greenwood. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Overall this was a decent collection of romances. Most are reverse harems, and most are in the same universe. The only one that seemed like it wasn't is Sweet About Me. Plus every single one had consent and safe sex practices, the latter not being something that is always in a romance.
Sweet About Me: 3/5 Stars
This story is about Saffron and her romantic ventures as she runs her bakery. I wished this one was longer because I felt the romance was rushed. Especially when it turned into the reverse harem. Plus, just a little weird with a threesome including two brothers.
Kneel For Me: 4/5 Stars
This story follows Princess Amara as she navigates looking for a husband before her coronation. The romances in this one felt more fleshed out and I loved how there were different dynamics between her men.
Heard From Me: 3.5/5 Stars
Hazel has been attracted to all three of her bandmates for a while. When a music producer tries to sign her to a label, she has to decide what to do. This one was decent but one relationship felt super rushed.
Laid By Me: 3.5/5 Stars
Sophie inherits an entire company when the father she never knew dies. Her board of directors are steamy men that want their way with her. Though a steamy romance, it just felt super unrealistic that five men would absolutely agree on having a relationship with one woman. And no real build up of drama.
Dance With Me: 5/5 Stars
Sadie sneaks off to the Queen's wedding and meets the man of her dreams. What will happen after she leaves? This one was more of the story I was used to from this author. It's a modernized Cinderella retelling and was honestly super cute. Plus I loved the nods to Kneel For Me. This was the only monogamous romance in the set.
Hustle With Me: 4/5 Stars
Katie seeks revenge on her friend's ex and hustles money from him. She gets caught by other hustlers who ask her to join in on a scheme. The flow of this one was really nice. Everyone gets to know each other before anything happens, plus there was an intricate scheme that I enjoyed.
Disclaimer: I received a review copy from Booksprout.
This is the complete collection of six romances with something for everyone. Below is a review of one of the books as a sample of what you’ll find in this collection. Included titles are:
1. SWEET ABOUT ME: a baker ends up with a sweet surprise (reverse harem) 2. KNEEL FOR ME: an almost-Queen must marry or lose her crown (reverse harem) 3. HEARD FROM ME: falling for the band was always going to be a risk (reverse harem) 4. LAID BY ME: A workplace romance based on Sophie learning the ropes as CEO in a company she inherits. 5. DANCE WITH ME: A Cinderella inspired royal romance featuring a Crown Prince and the daughter of a Duke who steals his heart. 6. HUSTLE WITH ME: A hustler romance which introduces Katie to a group of con-men and sends her into a game she’d never imagined she’d be playing.
*** Reviewing “KNEEL FOR ME (#2)” *** Amara is the upcoming Queen, but she will be forced to give up the throne if she cannot find a husband. She must be married, or the law states she cannot become the ruler. Things are complicated for her because her cousin wants to be Queen herself and is making sure Amara cannot claim her rightful throne.
Not willing to give up on her destiny, the feisty Amara sets her sights instead on a foreign prince. But once again things are complicated when both her childhood sweetheart and her schoolyard enemy show up!
This is probably not like any other reverse harem story you have read, so don’t pass this one up! The story line flows well and the humor is perfect! The characters are developed well, with Carter easily being my favorite! But the important question remains: Will Amara be able to win her prince and keep her rightful crown, or will her cousin take everything away from her?
I loved the variety in this collection of romances! With the entire set of books to choose from, you’ll have plenty to read and enjoy!
I really like this collection of short, steamy, contemporary romances. There are six fun stories, most with a reverse harem romance (Dance with Me is M/F). They are all slightly different from each other, too. They range from cute to insta-lust, to modern fairy tale. I adore how some of the stories have appearances or mentions of characters from other books, so I recommend reading these in order.
I especially like how there are various kinds of “burns” in each book. Sweet About Me is fast-burn, Kneel for Me is medium-burn, Heard from Me has a fast-burn with one man, but slow-burn with the band members, Laid by Me is medium-burn, Dance with Me is fast-burn, and Hustle with Me is medium-burn.
I enjoyed how these books have little bits of wisdom thrown in amongst the fun and sometimes funny action.

A good collection of sweet and steamy romances, with a good variety of different setups - a baker gaining the interest of two brothers (and possibly a friend), a Queen who wants more than just one man, a female lead singer and her band, a woman suddenly becomes a CEO and her hot board members could endanger her heart, a Cinderella inspired royal romance, a hustler romance where an amateur con-woman was getting revenge for a friend is caught red-handed and three con-men pull her into their plot. I liked the characters and the level of steam in the collection.

This is a terrific collection. I had previously read the first three stories, but now I have a new favorite - Dance With Me. Because who doesn't love a modern Cinderella story. Enrique as Sadie's fairy gay-mother, and all around great friend who gifts her a dress and shoes so she can attend a wedding reception. She and Leo have great chemistry (and a quickie) before she disappears. I especially love how she treated her stepmother at the end, and her great reason for doing so. All of the stories are well written, enjoyable to read, with strong and beautiful women, sexy men, and interesting stories.

I enjoyed this collection. Each work was great in their own way. I did however feel that the works tended to get repetitive and follow the same story line. They were great to read but struggled to keep me focused on the stories. I enjoyed the characters, their growth and the twists and turns in the plots. It was nice to see that some of the works were connected and referenced each other.
Overall I give this set a four out of five stars.

This is a fun set of (mostly) reverse harem reads. (There is one that is more of a Cinderella story). They are cute, sweet, fun, quirky, and sexy with different tropes and characters. Lots of good looking hunks, some fast-burn love, some slow-burn, old lovers, new flames, enemies-to-lovers, and more. Something for everyone who loves to read about a woman getting her pick of one, or several, sexy men.

This is a collection of stories that will give you hours of reading enjoyment. This collection has great characters and storylines that you will enjoy as you read them. These men find these women and find that they are to be together. The women are strong and together they will get their happily ever after together!

Six stories. Six reverse harems. Each has their own quirk case of humor and intense intimacy that these women can’t figure out how to decide or neither can the man. So each or short stories or at least decently short so you don’t have to worry about how much coffee or donuts or sweets you should eat while indulging. No cliffhanger

A well written series of stand alone tales which actually interconnect. I picked up this book as I love the authors usual genre of writing so was not really too sure what to expect with this but I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome.

The collection of stories have a strong plot with strong characters. The women in each story finds herself attracted to many men. Each story is in a different setting but the attraction is the same for all. The heat practically leaps off the page.

Why have just one when you can have them all. These are some stories about women who loved multiple men and didn’t want to choose between them. It might not be for everyone but I enjoyed reading these stories.

I have most of these individually, some I liked some I did not like as much. None of the books in the series are bad. The later ones still remain my favorites Laid by Me and Dance With Me are my re reads.
Who says you can't be naughty and nice? This collection is full of smart, sassy women who go after what they want and own it. It may not be conventional, but it sure is worth it in the end.

I really enjoyed this boxset as a whole. There was a variety of tropes, settings, and levels of steam. Each story brought easy to love characters and all around delightful reading!
A great collection of sweet and steamy romance stories. The characters are likeable and fit well together. They have great chemistry. You will enjoy them all.
Too much instant love and sex to be enjoyable. I like more in depth information and outlooks for the main characters instead of basing their relationship on sex.
