Reviews for each book in this set as follows:
The Perfect Boss: 4 Stars
Brad was left to raise his brothers as well as fun the family business when his parents died. This has left him looking for nothing serious on the personal front because his life already was full of complications.
In walks Tami for a week because she’s been sent to help Brad out. They start off to a rocky start but as the week progressed and they get more comfortable with each other the heat also becomes irresistible.
As they both begin to realize how great they could be together something (or rather someone) seem dead set on tearing them apart. You’ll run the full gambit of emotions as you navigate through, you might even get frustrated, but trust me it’s worth it in the end. 🙂
Tempt Me Forever: 4 Stars
This was an interesting read. It focused quite a bit on cheating. Angelo’s girlfriend Mandy has been cheating on him a long time but even when given proof he accepts her excuses. As time goes on he can’t help but notice things have changed. Rather than break things off with her then he goes out and does a bit of messing around as well.
This story focuses on a very messy situation with lots of drama. So if that’s what you’re looking for you won’t be disappointed.
Rock Hard: 5 Stars (My favourite in the set)
I love the Smith brothers!!! I would recommend reading these books in order because you won’t understand the story arch without context.
This time the story focuses on Alex. In the last book we saw a little bit of how Alex was in a toxic place. I didn’t realize the extent of that until reading this book. After the fallout with Angelo Alex really spirals into a dark place. It might even be made worse because Angelo forgives him even when Alex can’t forgive himself. His band is doing well and heads out on your which puts even more pressure on an already struggling Alex. His drinking takes over to the point where it impacts every single person around him.
Freya is an up and coming artist. She’s in the process of transitioning from the pop princess of her first album to the more grounded rock of her second. She thinks she’s scored her big break when she gets a contract to be the opening act for a really awesome band. It’s a bit of a reality check though when she sees how Alex’s drinking is out of hand. What shocks her more is the fact that everyone else seems to just try and ignore it instead of helping.
As Freya reaches out to Alex in support he finds himself opening up to her. Is it just because she doesn’t know him so can’t judge him? Or is it the fact that he feels a connection to her? Will either be able to resist the pull they feel towards each other especially knowing Alex should be focusing on himself?
This book is so well written. It speaks about addiction from the perspective of both the addicted person and also from the viewpoint of someone dealing with that person. There’s some tough decisions, when do you have to just walk away and put yourself first?
Blind in Love: 3.5 Stars
Blind in Love is the latest story about the Smith brothers. There isn’t much of a tie-in to Nelson’s brothers though. This was the first time in the series I found myself becoming uncomfortable. There is more than 20 years between Amelia and Nelson and although age differences usually don’t bother me I think the fact that he was just 18 and the attraction obviously started when he was younger.
Amelia (Ms.Clark) is Nelson’s teacher. She’s also his next door neighbor and has a habit of changing with her curtain open so he can watch her. This habit didn’t start until after his 18th birthday, but he’s obsessed with this. That’s pretty apparent very early in the story. It’s also obvious Nelson has decided that Amelia will be his no mater what, they just have to wait until after his graduation. Amelia is very attracted to Nelson, he may be young but doesn’t act it. I guess having so many older brothers has made him wiser than his years. People his own age just don’t really interest him. When the book starts graduation is only a couple months away but even though they both know they’re risking so much they just can’t seem to wait.
I found Amelia a little hard to like. It was still nice to see them get a HEA in the end, it was just a journey to get there.
Head Over Heels: 3.5 Stars
Head Over Heels focuses on Oliver. He’s 23 and working at the family company. We get to see a little bit of his brothers but I do wish they were more involved in this story.
Oliver thinks he is in love with his best friend/neighbor Rosie. She’s got a boyfriend though so he just has his dreams. The Rosie gets a call that is so distressing she runs home and throws up, her aunt has died and her two cousins will be moving in. Given her initial distress I figured she’d be actually sympathetic. When Ellie (17) and Seth (9) move in there’s instant attraction between Ellie and Oliver. They fall fast and hard but even though she sleeps with him she never mentions her age. He only finds out by accident when she turns 18. I have a issue with this relationship, he age difference (amount of years) would be okay if Ellie wasn’t a minor. It doesn’t matter how old she looks or how mature she acts, she was still (technically) a child.
Once they work through her age and start building an adult relationship the story is great. There’s a lot of intrigue and drama. I just wish the story started after her birthday.
Unexpected Baby: 5 Stars
Unexpected Baby is the last book with the Smith brothers. This time we focus on Wesley and Zoe.
Zoe is a brilliant worker, so much so that Wesley feels threatened by her. He’s convinced he hates her but then one night things just happen and they have a one night stand. They both seem content to forget it until Zoe comes to him saying she’s pregnant. Wesley tries to run away and hide from his responsibilities but just when you think they’ve worked it out office drama gets in the way. Wesley becomes convinced she was lying about the baby and Zoe runs away. Fast forward 5 years and Zoe shows up with a little girl in tow. Can they move past their past and finally have a future?
I LOVE this family! I would give this book 5 stars just for allowing us to catch up with the entire Smith clan! 🙂
There is so much sass in this book and Zoe is a wonderful character. I would recommend reading the other books in this story so you know all the characters but you can follow the story without it.
So many writing errors. The first one was steamy but the writing was so distracting, I didn’t read the others.
This box set is incredible! It tells the story of how the five Smith brothers found their way to love, romance and happiness though none of it was smooth sailing. It has misunderstandings, exes, backstabbing, alcoholism, story twists, wonderful characters that you will love and hate and more. You need to buy this set now. You will be so absorbed in the tales that you won’t want to put it down.
Red Robin
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
An amazing well written collection of stories of five brothers and their own romances. They are filled with plenty of steam, love, drama, jealousy, danger, intrigue, second chances, and just enough twists and turns that kept me reading. I was engaged from the beginning to end in this addicting collection. The characters are interesting and well developed and full of chemistry. I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC and highly recommend this must read collection.
A good collection of the Smith brother’s stories
The Smith brothers definitely are a wild and varied bunch of men. This set of 6 full length books is filled with all sorts of stories and themes and a lot of different emotions. Each of the brothers is protective, romantic and fiercely loyal, along with being super handsome and sexy as sin in their own individual ways. Each of the women that end up being theirs is smart, strong, spunky and also beautiful and unique. The underlying theme to all of the books in the family of brothers. Then as each brother takes a wife the women are added into the stories so that they are all popping up among the books.
I had previously read several of the books included in this set, so my individual reviews are attached to those books. But this set allowed me to read that two that I had missed and I was happy to read how each of those brothers had found and ended up with their partner. Some of the stories I liked better than the others and a couple I had some issues with. But that is my opinion and it always happens in a boxed set so I am not going to name the titles and let you decide which stories you liked better and why.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
The Perfect Boss
