“Truth or dare?”
“I’ll take your dare.”
“Kiss me.”
I don’t believe in Prince Charming, but when I met a handsome stranger on a rooftop his words intrigued me and his dares left nothing but temptation.
Then I learned the truth.
His name is Bryce Sexton. Media mogul, workaholic and a heart of stone. He’s broody AF and yet every woman in San Francisco wants him.
So why won’t he leave me alone?
Wherever I go, he’s there, trying to force his way into my world. What he doesn’t know is I already have a man in my life. A tiny redhead who loves Legos and Superheroes.
With every push, Bryce pulls me in further. Our pasts are laced with betrayal. Our futures are unpredictable. Our chemistry is explosive.
With each dare I uncover a truth, but he’s exactly what I don’t need right now.
So why did I have to go and kiss him?
TANNER
We’re two strangers on a train, knowing whatever we decide in the next moment might dictate our fate for the rest of our lives.
“A kiss was all I needed.”
“Looks like you got what you wished for.”
“Yes. About that…”
My plan: find a finely dressed businessman, have a one-night stand, and forget about my failed relationship.
Like a bad joke, my ex walks into the bar. That’s when a gorgeous man wearing street clothes, messy hair, and the sexiest smile I’ve ever seen lays a kiss on me. It’s meant to rile up my ex but leaves me breathless and wanting more instead.
Then he’s gone.
So, I do what any rational person would. I chase after him onto the subway and embark on a wild night in New York City with a complete stranger.
No matter how much I fight it, this mysterious man painted his soul onto my skin. If it’s not meant to be, why can’t I forget about him?

Wow, what can I say!! These books are stupendously good that you NEED to READ! All 5 stars!!!!!
AUSTIN – #1
Austin Sexton is the middle son of the Sexton Brothers. Austin is also a playboy, and he tries to evade work as well as he wants nothing to do with running the billion-dollar Sexton Media family business, but he has no choice—if he does not want his annoying step-mother to sell the business that his mother built since his father gave her half of his holdings. Since Austin is 1/3 owner, he was given President of Digital Media. Austin loves to race cars—illegal underground street car racing with his 1969 Chevy Camaro. When he arrives, the crowd would part like the Red Sea when they see him coming in his Camaro like he is a god. Austin is known as Falcon to everyone in the street racing—no one knows him by his real name or has seen his face because he disguises himself–until he meets Jalynn, who was at the race and because of a mishap, Austin put her into his car. When Jalynn started working for Sexton Media as his brother’s secretary, all bets are off and their romance is faster than any race car.

TANNER – #3
Tanner is the youngest and third brother who is attending college in NY and always wearing his hair in a man bun. Instead of having to look for a job like his other college friends, his fate is already written in stone as President of Marketing and Advertising at his family media conglomerate in SF. While out with his college friends in NY, he meets Harper Doyle at a bar. After Tanner kisses Harper at the bar when her ex is there, Tanner leaves—Harper runs after him to the train station. Harper is a teacher and older than Tanner, but when she is with Tanner, their chemistry is off-the-charts hot! You’ll find yourselves rooting for them, but you may be in denial for a good part of it and just couldn’t imagine feeling for these characters. Despite some of the unsavory elements of an older woman/younger man, I could not stop reading this book and it will keep you glued to the pages to find out what happens next. You get a chance to see the progression of their love. Read how their lives have changed and if their relationship causes problems with family—what happens next!! The book will pique your interest and draw you in from the beginning to the very end.
Lauren Runow and Jeanne Collette you did it with addictive, intriguing, and fascinating love stories that completely engross the reader. The storylines are quite unique, and the charismatic characters portray combustible chemistry, together and individually, that makes them feel genuine, natural and heartfelt. You won’t regret reading the Sexton Brothers Boxset!
Sexy, swoony and addictive!
I loved every single one of these books! The next better than the last. I couldn’t get enough of this series and these brothers. I was absolutely captivated from the first chapter and couldn’t stop reading. I wouldn’t even begin to tell you who was my favorite because they’re all so swoony and drool worthy! These two authors flawlessly created amazing chemistry throughout the whole boxset, you’d think it was all written by one person. Cant wait to see what kind of magic they come up with next!
A great box set from Lauren Runow and Jeannine Collette. I have read some of Lauren’s work but this is the first time that I have read anything from Jeannine and I loved it. You will be able to meet three brothers, Austin, Bryce and Tanner when you read this set. Each story takes you into each brother’s life and how they were able to find their person to make them complete. If you are looking for the perfect man to fall in love with, you don’t have to look far because there are three in one place. I highly recommend this set. You won’t be disappointed.
I entered into this series with the preconceived notion that I would most likely fall for one of the two older brothers. I was wrong. I fell for all three.
Austin – the middle son and the playboy on the surface. His secret vice, racing cars through the darkened streets of San Francisco. By day, he is part of Sexton Media, a former soldier and a man fighting the demons of his past. One evening while racing, his path crosses that of Jalynn. She is a pain in his ass but oh so worth the frustration.
Bryce – the “responsible, eldest son”. He goes through assistants almost daily. He is the workaholic who doesn’t have time for relationships. One night he meets a beautiful woman in a rooftop garden and can’t resist the pull he feels towards her but there is more to Tessa than her beautiful face and her brilliant sassy attitude.
Tanner – the youngest son with the artistic nature and the west coast surfer dude looks. He seems to be the most laid back of the three Sexton brothers but underneath that mellow exterior beats the heart of a real man. When he meets Harper in a bar one night, he knows this is his MUSE!
While reading these books you will be pulled along on not only a voyage of discovery for each of these characters but also through a mystery that touches everyone’s life involved in these stories.
I could not put this one down, reading all the way through the bonus material as well as the love letters included at the end.

#1- AUSTIN. This was the first book I had read by this writing duo and all I can say is together they are DY-NO-MITE. ! You have Austin, handsome, billionaire, Media Mogul, son of a prominent businessman, by day; and street racer, dare-devil Falcon, lawbreaker, risktaker, and adrenaline junkie by night. Jaylyn is sassy, a beautiful as sin woman, struggling to protect her brother her whole life, and meets Austin under very extenuating circumstances. The chemistry and banter between these two is like a slow tempo that burns it’s way up to a crescendo. There are okay books and there are good books, and then there are books like these that you get into and just honestly owns you for the whole time you are reading them. Everything annoys you if it interrupts your reading. This is one of those really good books. You get Austin’s POV as well as Jaylyn’s. Through all the dark streets at night and family drama, these two manage to find their HEA. Austin has two brothers, Bryce and Tanner, who the next two books
#2-BRYCE. After reading the first book, Austin, I knew this book would be great. I just wasn’t expecting Bryce to be so sexy and sweet! He seemed so much more stuffy and business like in the first book but like they say, you can’t judge a book by its cover! And when he meets Tessa kicking a trash can on the roof at the museum gala and they have their “Truth or Dare” session, my heart melted. Howling at the moon and dancing together with no music….and that almost kiss (swoon). Thus began the chase or stalking as Tess called it by Bryce. He knew she was the one. But Tess has a precious little boy she had to protect from getting hurt. So she was much more cautious. The crazy Sexton family drama. Oh boy! You get to see what was going on with Bryce while you were reading Austin. You get more insight into the characters you met in the first book And get to see Bryce and Tess work their way to their happy ending. Now we get to the third son Tanner, who shows up at the end with a big surprise!
#3- TANNER. Tanner, the youngest Sexton, is is 22 years old and finishing college in NYC before returning to San Francisco to help run the media company his mother created with his brothers. Harper, a 30 year old school teacher, has just had her heart broken by a cheating ex and is out with her friends for the night as they try to get her to find a “suit” to get over her heartbreak. When Tanner and Harper meet and she shuts him down (no suit), but her ex walks in and the game changes, all bets are off. The Kiss between Tanner and Harper is electric and when she chases him down the subway and the exchange over the turnstile had my body thrumming!
I absolutely adored these two together! The body painting scene was so erotic, and all their secret haunts! The speakeasy was epic! But there was also good old Dad and Missy to deal with. And when all the brothers got together, my heart melted! There was lots of painting going on, and intrigue and mystery. Finally justice was served and there was a HEA!
There is a bonus epilogue wedding at the end of this Box Set, I’m not going to tell you whose, I will leave it as a surprise for you but it is so precious and there are plenty of amazing POVs! There are also Valentine love notes from each of the brothers to the love of their lives. This is a wonderful Box Set that you will enjoy reading over and over again!!! The Sexton Brothers are so awesome!
Book 1 Austin- “You won’t know how strong you are unless you risk cracking a bit” my favourite quote from this book written by two authors who separately I really enjoy, but together are a powerhouse of writing I LOVED this book. Everything about it was wonderful and I literally had to force myself to go to bed and not stay up all night reading. I devoured this book in less than 24 hours and cannot wait for Bryce’s book. Austin and Jaylnn’s story was one of ups and downs with a few surprises I didn’t anticipate as I was reading but was a wonderful story of letting someone in no matter how badly you have been hurt before.
Book 2 Bryce- “Treat a woman as if she is the breath you’ll take when you have run out of your own” I had a feeling I was going to LOVE Bryce and I was not disappointed at all. While this is book 2 in this series it could be read as a standalone with no problem, however I loved that it ran as the same time as Austin. Can we talk about my favourite character in the book?? Charlie, Oh.My.God what an adorable and unknowingly cheeky little guy, he made me laugh so much and reminded my of my own son at that age. I love the instant chemistry between Bryce and Tessa, but how their past fears/issues kept them from giving in to what they think they want. I couldn’t put this book down as I had to know what was going to happen. Even though 2 authors wrote this book, you would never know with how well it flows from chapter to chapter. I am so looking forward to reading Tanner’s book, however I know that Bryce will always be my favourite Sexton brother
Book 3 Tanner- This is hands down my most favourite series I have read in quite some time. Despite every opportunity to be awful, Austin, Bryce and Tanner and the kindest most amazing men and always do the right thing even when it isn’t easy. I love how laid back and smooth Tanner is, he is an old soul for sure and I loved that about his character. Harper has been through alot with her relationships, but finally decides to put her happiness first and just go with her feelings. I LOVED how all 3 books were tied together (but I didn’t see how it was done coming) and we got a glimpse into everyone’s future. I so would not be upset if more books were written about the Sexton boys.
The Bonus Material was INCEDIBLE and OMG Charlie seriously needs his own book, what an adorable and insightful little man he is. The love letters are just perfect, what I would want to hear from someone that loves me. Austin, Bryce and Tanner and hands down one of the best series I have read in quite sometime and I HIGHLY recommend this series. (less)
SEXTON BROTHERS BOXSET by Lauren Runow & Jeanne Colette. Three great books in one boxset: AUSTIN / BRYCE / TANNER. Written by two of my favorite authors: LAUREN RUNOW & JEANNE COLETTE.
AUSTIN Book #1
Falcon is a mysterious, undefeated street racer. The crowd at the illegal street race part like the Red Sea when his ’69 Chevy Camaro rumbles its way through the abandoned lot. The guys envy his car and girls just stare at him. He wears a large
size hoodie and always has a hat pulled low over his brow with his hood covering the sides. This is his high! He feels he is a god of the racetrack, and this his hidden life.
Everyone knows him at the races as Falcon, and not Austin Sexton, middle son of one of the most prominent families in San Francisco. Part owner of the billion dollar company Sexton Media, and is President of the Digital Media within Sexton Media. His deceased mother had built this company from a local quarterly magazine into a billion dollar empire. Austin and his two brothers, Bryce & Tanner, own 50% of the company. The problem is that their father and wicked stepmom own the other 50%.
Jalynn Smith, meets Falcon at the race she attended in an attempt to try to save her brother Beckett. She has an “Opp!” moment, when she accidentally crosses a line causing a false start. Next thing she knows she is being pulled by one of the racers and put into his car. The race starts over, but Falcon now has a passenger which was previously unheard of ever happening. When sirens can be heard coming their way, Falcon then first finishes winning the race, and then taking off with the girl. Their mad dash might be considered like their first date. Without even a name he drops her off at home. Imagine their both surprise, when the next morning Austin walks into work to find Jalynn is his brother Bryce’s new assistant. She also recognizes who he is!! Big trouble is what that means!!
BRYCE Book #2
Bryce is the oldest brother of the three Sexton sons. As the oldest son of the late newspaper and magazine magnate, Marina Sexton, he has the responsibility of keeping her memory alive by running the print division. The heaviness of carrying the load is a weight on his broad shoulders. He works 24/7 and is a workaholic. The job should be that of his father, but he is too busy with his young new wife and former beauty queen, Missy. Austin is head of the Digital Media, and Tanner is still in college. Bryce, Austin, and Tanner own 50% of the company, but the problem is their useless father and wicked stepmother own the other 50%. Bryce doesn’t have time for any social life, but his track record with his attractive lady assistants has become a problem. With them wanting more from him then just a job. While hiding from one of his persistent assistants at a family gala event, was when he met one Tessa Clarke who also was hiding. They had an instant attraction. Out of character for Bryce he became the chaser instead of the chased.
This is a story of a slow-burn romance. Neither Bryce nor Tessa were looking for a relationship, not to mention love. Bryce also doesn’t know Tessa is a single parent to an adorable little five-year-old son named Charlie. And if he wants Tessa they are a package deal. Lot of obstacles get in their way to finding a HEA. It is a great story you will enjoy reading.
TANNER Book #3
Tanner had fast become my favorite brother. He has been attending college in New York. He likes to be known as just another struggling college student while he is there. His fate is already written in stone at his family’s company in San Francisco, where he will be the president of Marketing and Advertising at Sexton Media empire. At the young age of fourteen his mother passed away, and he was gifted shares in his families media company. When Tanner reached the legal age, he had taken control of them. That is why he decided to go to college on the opposite end of the country. Back home, he is a Sexton, heir to a billion-dollar media conglomerate. In New York he is just Tanner.
Tanner was weeks away from having to head home, and helping his brothers with the company. His father, Edward Sexton & his much younger horrid wife, Missy Catrera, were trying to sell the company their beloved mother had built from the ground-up. So one night when Tanner was at a bar with friends, he met a very beautiful woman, Harper Doyle. They had their first dance, and had their first kiss. When Tanner went to leave right after kissing her, a breathless Harper does the “rational” thing, and chases him onto the subway.
The connection between Harper and Tanner is magical. Harper is coming off a nasty break-up with an ex-boyfriend. She is a 5th grade teacher, and has been for eight years. She is thirty to Tanners twenty-two, but together they work. Tanner is a talented artist as well as old soul with a romantic heart. Of course, there is so much for them to overcome, but he is certain that he doesn’t want to figure life out without her. This is a fantastic ending to the series.
The Sexton brothers all have their own personalities and their own personal demons. Bryce is the oldest and most serious. Austen is the rebel middle child. Tanner is the baby and artist of the family. Each brother meets the woman of his dreams but all have many challenges to face in order to try to make their relationship work. They all also have the same insane family dynamic in which their mother died in a tragic accident and then their father marries a woman younger than Austen. Not to mention the hierarchy of the family company Sexton Media. You will fall further in love with this family with each story in this set!
