WOW times Five! This is a collection of five awesome reads. The books included in this collection are: His Muse, Filthy Mistake, Pretend Wife, Picture Perfect and Dating my Best Friend. Each book had its own issue that they dealt with but the at the end as in all of Annie’s standalone books they end up with a great ending. If I had to pick my favorite of all it would be Dating my Best Friend!
His Muse: As sweet as this story was, it was all over the place for me. This didn’t only deal with a second chance romance between two who lost touch. It dealt with a young woman who gave herself to her brother’s best friend and then had to deal through something difficult alone as he was not reachable. This story is about Winnie and Ben and even though at one point I thought that Ben needed to man up to his father, he does not know everything that she had to endure alone. Annie did a great job with this book and it feeds profoundly into those who may have been through what Winnie experienced, but as always it has a positive ending.
Filthy Mistake: This is about Jax (Rockstar)/Jeremy (Highschool crush) and Emma. Jax/Jeremy is the same person. While Jax is the Rockstar that decides to try to go solo, after wild nights and his publicist stating that something needs to change, he goes back home. Emma is a music teach in their hometown. She has always had a crush on Jax and would help him out whenever he needed it. Jax’s publicist thinks a fake marriage will help his career and she agree to help. This was a sweet romantic story in where time is what truly brings happiness to those that deserve to be together.
Pretend Wife: This is about Josh and Abby. Josh is an actor who finds himself not satisfied with the roles that he gets and wanting more. Like another book in this series he is told that the best thing he can do is create a new image where they will take him seriously. He would need to settle down and this is where Abby comes in. She on the other hand is an aspiring writer and working her way up, but an encounter with Josh is where their story starts and takes off. This was a nice story,
Picture Perfect: This was an emotional book. Having to lose a parent when finishing school and your boyfriend not being so understanding of your request, is too much for any young lady to deal with. This is about Brad and Alanna who were at one time high school sweethearts. This was a second chance romance between the two which first was to forgive the hurt that each took and try to build up those lost years. Brad went on to live his life and make it successful, while Alanna was being a good daughter and stayed behind and has not successful life taking her around the world. It was a good book, but you would have to consider both sides before judging one with the other.
Dating My Best Friend: I loved that this story was about friendship, loss, anxiety, PTSD, reflection, forgiveness, acceptance and everything in between. This story is about Khloe, her best friend Jasper, her sister, her late husband’s best friend and others, but mainly them. Losing a parent is hard as an adult but a kid, even a teenager, it is earth shattering. This is how the story starts and not only has Jasper lost both of his parents, but now his only family lives in Vegas, far away from his true best friend and love of his life. Twelve years pass before they meet again, and this is when one realizes what the meaning of friendship and true love is all about. This was an awesome book, you get sucked in from the start and it leaves you wanting more at the end but note that the ending is great a new friend who needs help joins the party per say.

Five book set of forbidden love. Book one was sweet love with a tragic occurrence. Book 2 was about a world-famous rock star who went back to his hometown to establish some background for his solo album and met an old friend, someone he wrote a song with years ago. Emma and Jax liked each other They agreed to a pretend marriage and do the world tour for his new album. Really difficult for them to stay friends without benefits. I did not read Books 3-5 because there was not time. I really enjoyed reading the two books I read. I can certainly give a good recommendation to books by Annie J. Rose.

Forbidden Desires is a set of stories that once you start reading you will be in a romance marathon because they are impossible to put down. All five books are emotionally powerful with characters that you will empathize with and be in their corners cheering them on. Three of these stories stand out for me but all five are well worth reading. In the story “His Muse”, Winnie always had a thing fir her brother’s best friend Ben and just before she leaves for college they connect but that ca me with consequences. now Ben is back in Winnie’s life and she is skeptical of the man who left her. Can this be a second chance to get things right and will he hold Winnie’s secret against her? This story catches your attention right from the start and draws you into the characters. The second story “Picture Perfect”, Alanna and Bradley’s story is so touching. They were school sweet hearts when Bradley broke her heart and left to fulfill his dreams. Alanna stayed behind because of her father and put her dreams on hold to take care of him. When he died, she still remained for support to her mother and help with bills. Now Bradley is back in town and one look at Alanna has him realizing that what he is missing is right there in town. Alanna tries to stay away but her heart wants what it wants and refuses to get that message. Will this be a second chance for her and Bradley? and the last book that stood out is “Dating My Best Friend”. Jasper and Khloe were best friends when tragedy pulled them apart. Both have endured incredible heart ship and for Jasper coming home from the military with additional baggage has made his worst. He returns to find Khloe is still there but their encounter finds him still with strong feelings for Khloe but she has walled her heart towards Jasper. Will he be able to break the walls that binds Khloe heart for a second chance with her. This touching story draws you in pulls on your emotions.

This romance box set contains five standalone novels full of forbidden romances. Titles include: Book One: His Muse, Book Two: Filthy Mistake, Book Three: Pretend Wife, Book Four: Picture Perfect, and Book Five: Dating My Best Friend.
I loved this collection of contemporary romance stories! You’ll find lots of love, romance, and sometimes a little drama and suspense inside the covers! The story lines were good and well-paced throughout each book. The characters were presented well, realistic and likable. A wonderful variety to provide something special for everyone!
Outstanding!
All of these stories are excellent on their own, but in this collection they make it a must get. Each story will make you smile, bring tears to your eyes, and/or make you heart beat harder (especially Dating My Best Friend that dealt with PTSD). It isn’t often that you’ll find a collection that also deals with love the second time around as well as for the first time.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout, but have purchased a copy for my collection.
Some forbidden desires
This was a GREAT boxed set of five books from Annie J Rose. I hadn’t read any of them before, so they were all new to me. I enjoyed each one. There were some common themes, but they were all a little different, which made it even better. There was no overt predictability. The characters were all great, and each story was well-written.
His Muse – a hopeful but heartbreaking second chance opportunity for Winnie and Ben? It was full of drama and high emotions.
Filthy Mistake – Jax and Emma reconnect when he returns to his hometown where they first met – before he became famous. Are their worlds too different? There’s some heartbreak, tears and laughter. A fun read.
Pretend Wife – Some enjoyable banter between Josh and Abby, makes this a fun read. There was plenty of sizzling chemistry, but can a fake relationship turn into true feelings of reciprocated love that this stubborn pair just cannot seem to admit?
Picture Perfect – A hopeful, second-chance romance story about Alanna and Bradley. They had a heartbreaking end to their relationship after school finished. She put her dreams on hold, while he went off to college without her. Bradley is now returning to his hometown after a long absence. Ten years is certainly a long time to hold a grudge, so will she be able to look past her feelings of angst and hurt, to give ‘them’ another try?
Dating My Best Friend – Another hopeful, second-chance romance story. This one is about Jasper and Khloe. They were childhood best friends, and when his parents died suddenly, and was shipped off to live with another relative far away from Khloe, she was devastated. He also didn’t make any attempts to keep in touch with her. This left her heart-broken again. He comes back to their hometown a broken man, unsure of what he wants or deserves. It’s very raw, honest and emotional. Can they somehow work together to help heal each other?

Five great stand alone. Perfect combo of angst, steam, likable characters.
Each stand alone story in original and contemporary.
Great collection of stories. Enjoyable storyline and flow.
All of the books in this boxed set were good but I have to confess to having a favorite.
I had read Dating My Best Friend when it was initially published and the following is the five-star review I posted for it.
Dating My Best Friend:
A truly wonderful book. I especially liked how the author dealt with how PTSD is just as easily triggered by emotion or memory and not always just by sudden sound or movement. I also loved how the author was able to portray the technique of just how Piper, the service dog could calm Jasper when he would have a nightmare or an impending or actual panic attack. Jasper and Khloe were both broken souls and seeing them find their way back to each other made for a very touching, moving, and emotional, book! One worth reading more than just one time!

Oh my goodness! Yes, everyone needs to prepare for the stories you’re about to receive! Annie J. Rose just knows how to tug your heart strings and then make it flutter faster than a drummer on speed. Okay, so maybe a little dramatic; but not by much.
I liked all the stories in this boxset. I read several as standalones already. However, there’s no reason not to re-read some of them. You’ll love all the stories, but I want to discuss my favorites in the boxset.
His Muse: Oh my!! The story of Ben and Winnie will make your heart break into pieces. You realize that both of them are broken and need to be put back together. Unfortunately, no one else can do it for them. Ben happens to be Steve’s (Winnie’s older brother) best friend. He and Winnie are sneaking behind Steve’s back dating before Winnie heads off to college and Ben returns to Boston to deal with his abusive and overbearing father. They share one night together that each will remember for the rest of their lives. Unfortunately, Winnie doesn’t follow her dream to law school because a tragedy happens that changes her life. Ben doesn’t know what the tragedy happens to be because he’s been living through his own personal Hell. You’ll have to read the story to find out what happened to both of them. Does it break them or bring them closer together? By the Epilogue, you’ll be cheering! Fantastic story.
Dancing With My Best Friend
Another story that tugs at the heart. Both main characters struggle with so much. They start out as best friends and through a tragedy—they’re separated. Unfortunately, it takes over a decade for them to see each other again. Khloe and Jasper used to be inseparable growing up. One night changes everything. Eventually, Jasper and Khloe go on without dealing with what has happened over the years. Jasper decides to return and boy, do the sparks fly then. Khloe is angry and Jasper is broken. This was a touching story because the author deals with PTSD in a very respectful way. Bravo!!
I highly recommend this boxset. Is it steamy? Sure! However, there are real issues and heartbreak. There’s nothing like reading stories that make you root for the hero and heroine to live happily ever after. What a treat to read!
