Amelia Judd delivers a box set full of funny, sweet and heartwarming stories that are as fun as they are addictive
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy of this book
This is one of the best box sets which I have read in a long time. This box set consists of the first three books in the Silver Bay series. Each novel is a different couple, and could be read as standalone; however, I am glad I read these in order. The novels are as follows:-
#1 A VENTURE OF THE HEART
This is the 1st book in a new series, and is Pax and Sage’s story. Pax is the brother of Sage’s best friend; and he owns an adventure hotel, and whom the bank is considering granting a loan to, and Sage is the loan officer they sent to the island. Can these two fight the attraction between them, and overcome the issues standing in their way? No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed! This is a well written light hearted storyline, which is sweet, fun, humorous, and with twists and surprises, which all lead to be being hooked and intrigued throughout this page turner.
#2 CRASHING TOGETHER
This is the 2nd book in this great series, and each book just seems to get better and better. This is Logan and Kat’s story. Logan is her brother’s best friend, and typical playboy, who is now an adventure guide and surfing instructor at Pax’s hotel. Kat is a feisty character and with Logan’s laid back attitude the sparks fly. This is a well written story with complex characters, and is steamy and hilarious with witty banter, which all had me captivated throughout this page turner.
#3 LUCKY IN LOVE
This is the 3rd book in this awesome series, and is Claire and Ethan’s story. Claire is a single mom who is in desperate need of a fake boyfriend. Ethan is a retired soccer player, who steps in as the boyfriend. Problem being this is a short term arrangement, and Logan is determined to convince Claire to make their deal long term. This story had me laughing-out-loud from the very beginning until the end. This author has done an awesome job in penning this story, and in my opinion, she has outdone herself! I was totally captivated throughout, and cannot wait to read more of this authors’ work, and I highly recommend her work for all readers who love a hilarious story.
Have you ever wanted to shake a character and see how stuck they just might me? These three books might make you want to do just that! From Costa Rica, to temporary roommates to single mother with make believe boyfriends, not everything is happy in the Bennet family.
Why does Pax have to prove anything? And why does the person he has to prove it most to is his sister’s best friend Sage, a saavy loan officer from his lender, who wants a risk-free life. Not with these ingredients.
Kat Bennett has a temporary roommate in Logan, but he’s promised her brother to not react. Besides, she’s not into long term commitments is she?
And then there’s Claire- a single mother who doesn’t want to be hurt again, but coralls Ethan into pretending to be her boyfriend so she doesn’t HAVE to be part of a bachelorette auction. After being treated like she has been who can trust romance anymore?
These three contemporary romances are great fun. Highly recommended5/5

Fun Trio of Light Hearted Romance
This is the box set of the first three Silver Bay Romances. The series is generally about the HEA romances of the adult Bennett children, each with their own novel. All of the stories are witty, fun and light. They each have some graphic sexual scenes that can easily be skipped over. The author has well developed plots and deep, realistic characters. I can’t wait for book 4 to come out later this year. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to share my honest review.
I read each of these stories as individual books. As a set they are even better. A charming series that gets better with each book. They are heartwarming, funny, romantic, lighthearted and a joy to read. Each story is well written, interesting and entertaining. The characters are well developed, likable and intriguing. I enjoyed reading all of these books and can highly recommend this set.
I have reviewed all three of these books on there own and thoroughly recommend the box set… A VENTURE OF THE HEART .. Pax and Sage’s story..he doesn’t want to follow his father’s wishes…ends up in Costa Rica … Sag… his sisters best friend… follows…… CRASHING TOGETHER … Logan and Kat’s …he has a sad past…she is Pax’s sister and best friend to SaLuge…can they help each other.. LUCKY IN LOVE …Ehtan and Claire’s story …he is a retired soccer player looking for something to do… she needs a boyfriend…and a fake one will do… can’t wait for Hannah’s story. .. to see what strings her mother will pull now… all have a HEA.
No need for a silver lining!
Amelia Judd makes me want to live in this world. Each story is a quick enjoyable read with plenty of twists and turns for the reader to enjoy with realistic and relatable characters. I can’t wait to see where she goes next.
I love every book in this box set! They are all full of sweet, funny, heartwarming stories. The stories are well written and the characters relatable. A MUST READ for anyone looking for feel good books!
A very nice set of sigh-worthy romance reads (and steamy too!). Each book was equally as good as the others in the set. I can’t believe I never found this author before!! I will definitely be reading more from her – looks like book #4 comes out late 2018.
#1 – A Venture of the Heart
The attraction has always been there but life circumstances kept them apart – now a second chance to see if what they feel is real. Set against a lush Costa Rican resort, this was my favorite of the three in the set by a slight margin because second chance romance is my favorite genre.
#2 – Crashing Together
Kat’s adrift in her personal life and Logan is a player – great material for a fling but once feelings get in the way can they actually have a relationship? I enjoyed Logan and Kat’s flirty banter in this one. I never saw the surprise coming – but looking back, it was appropriate for these two.
#3 – Lucky in Love
Single mom of two and workaholic Claire needs a fake boyfriend so she won’t have to participate in a bachelorette charity auction. Thinking Ethan is the man she was supposed to be meeting, she propositions him – and finds out he is the wrong man! Ethan is a recently retired world famous soccer player at loose ends – turns out Claire is just what he is looking for. This was a great read – interaction with her kids, yet plenty of romance – this couple were just perfect for each other.
NOTE: I did receive an ARC of this set from the author, but my review is voluntary. I am glad to have found this author – this was a really good read!
