This boxset contains the three books in the DreamMakers series. A red-hot, light-hearted collaboration from New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors Elle Kennedy and Vivian Arend.~~~~Welcome to DreamMakersWhat are three ex-military best friends supposed to do when they’re permanently back on US soil? Parker Wilson, Jack Hunter and Dean Colter considered establishing a security company, … Wilson, Jack Hunter and Dean Colter considered establishing a security company, but a glut on the market forced a change of plans.
After listening to a friend bemoan not knowing what to do for his girlfriend’s birthday, they realized their set of job skills left them uniquely positioned to assist the confused male masses.
Any idiot can plan a perfect date if he knows his woman well enough. And anyone with recon skills can fill in the missing gaps.
ALL FIRED UP
He’s ready to lead the way
As the owner of DreamMakers Inc., Parker Wilson takes the skills he learned as a Ranger to help men win in the love department, using every resource available to plan the perfect date. But when a routine recon turns into an unexpected night of fiery passion, Parker’s mission becomes personal—and he won’t give up until Lynn Davidson is all his.
LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD
He’s ready to admit she’s all grown up
After two tours of duty, former Army Ranger Jack Hunter is back in the US, working to keep DreamMakers a brilliant success. Now that his best friend’s little sister is home from college, it’s time to retire his hands-off policy and take action. He wants Pepper Wilson in his bed, but seducing the feisty redhead could be dangerous for more than one reason.
DON’T WALK AWAY
He wants to rock her world—in bed and out of it
For former Army Ranger Dean Colter, sexual escapades and wild flirtations are the norm—but it wasn’t always that way. Years ago, the DreamMakers co-owner was a one-woman kind of guy until he tore Emma Lee’s heart apart. Yet he’s never forgotten her, and when Emma waltzes back into his life, a second chance is suddenly within his reach…and he’ll be damned if he’ll screw up again.

I love the original idea of military men finding an unusual outlet for their talents! Easy to read page turner!
Box set 1-3
Love having books in a box set for easy rereading. I do not have the box set but I have owned these books for years in both paperback and ebook.
1 – ALL FIRED UP
3.5 stars for the stupid unneeded addition of a threesome.
A great story plot with three hot ex army rangers starting up a dating help agency for clueless men. This is not to get dates but to make dates super special or romantic. Loved this idea.
Found Parker falling for Lynn at first sight great and his antics afterwards were funny but I did not think the threesome with Dean was needed. Felt it was out of character for Lynn and maybe spoilt it a bit for me. Will make things awkward further on when Dean gets his special lady as I am sure Lynn and her will be expected to socialise.
Looking forward to reading the other two stories for Dean the man whore and Jack who is hiding something.
2 – LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD
I loved this and was also a bit MEH about it.
Will be better if book one is read first.
I loved the actual story but some of the carrying on with the background story was overdone.
Jack is another of our ex-army ranger threesome who is running DreamMakers.
Pepper was a bit of a spoilt brat at times but did mature towards the end but she needed to not sound so stupid, sometimes she sounded 13 years old.
I did like the twist with Kendra but wondered why we once again have a ménage with Dean. He really is a man whore and I feel so sorry for whoever ends up with him as he will have now had sex with both of his best friends women. Not something I would like to live with knowing every time they all get together.
I just doesn’t ring true that these alpha men would allow another man near their women, maybe that is why it is Dean. Huh, reason sorted.
3 – DON’T WALK AWAY
Better than expected but still left one thing hanging.
Dean stops his manwhore ways when his first love Emma, comes back into his life. He deserted Emma and broke her heart hurting her dreadfully when they were younger.
I did find it funny Dean worked his socks off to get Emma to talk to him and see him again.
Emma is no ones easy mark, she is a fully capable woman who can protect herself really well and I loved how she beat Dean up and pointed a gun at his groin when he broke into her room, beautiful.
I found her interesting, marvelled at her career and loved her playing the ‘we can have booty call sex but no relationship’ card on Dean, the most prolific player ever. Karma.
My only complaint is a fact that I mentioned in both other reviews and that is Emma never finds out that Dean has had ménages with both Lynn and Pepper. I would love to have read that conversation.
The sub plots for other characters was a fun diversion and I really hope this series gets added too in the future but as I have owned these books for ages and this one is two years old I am not holding my breath. A new book is supposed to be coming out but no details are available yet.
