~~USA Today Best Seller~~Q. What could be better than getting a billionaire for Christmas?A. Getting THREE billionaires for Christmas!Three Wise Men is a series of three books set in the sub-tropical Northland of New Zealand following the stories of three brothers and the single mums they fall in love with. Christmas is a time for miracles, but everyone knows wishes don’t really come true. Or do … knows wishes don’t really come true. Or do they?
Book 1: The Perfect Gift
Consultant paediatrician Brock King lost his wife to cancer two years ago, and he’s convinced the love he felt for her only comes around once in a lifetime. Then, while visiting the children’s ward, he meets single mum Erin, and suddenly his future doesn’t seem so bleak. Brock offers to take Erin away for her birthday, no strings attached, to give her the perfect gift every single mum would kill for—a night in an exclusive hotel. Will she take him up on his offer, which might (if she’s very lucky) end up with hot sex with a billionaire? Or should she take the moral high ground and say no?
Book 2: An Ideal Present
Research scientist Charlie King has given up on relationships. Going without sex is a major drawback to that plan, but even though he has an IQ one point off Einstein’s, he considers himself hopeless with women. When he discovers the gorgeous Ophelia is now single, though, he decides to give himself one last chance to find love. Ophelia’s torn between duty and desire. Should she follow her head and close this chapter of her life before she opens the next? Or should she follow her heart and give herself the ideal present—the prospect of forever with the man of her dreams?
Book 3: A Secret Parcel
Children’s author Matt can’t stop thinking about sexy Georgia. She insists he’s only interested in her because he can’t have her. He concedes she could be right, but how will he know until he’s sated his hunger? Eventually, she agrees to a brief fling, but that only seems to make the fire between them burn hotter. Matt wants more, but even though her son, Noah, seems to like him being around, when Matt unearths Georgia’s troubled past he wonders whether it’s time to move on before he gets too entangled. As Christmas approaches, though, he discovers that love can be like mistletoe, infiltrating and binding two people together until it’s impossible to separate their hearts.
By the time of the party on Christmas Eve, all three King brothers are in love. Will there be enough Christmas magic to make all their dreams come true?

Christmas Perfection 4.5*
Boxset about three lovable billionaires finding true love during the Christmas period.
The Perfect Gift. Brock, Erin and Ryan. 5* Romance
Brock is such a gentleman and oh, so swoon worthy! Brock is rich, generous with his time, money and medical skills, handsome, loyal (having mourned his wife for the past 2 years), kind to children and animals. In fact too perfect to be true, but then he is a book hero so is allowed to be! Erin is a young, strap-cashed, beautiful single mother with an adorable three year old, who suffers from asthma. Although they have chatted online through The Three Kings Foundation website (set up by the three King brothers to grant the wishes of children with life threatening illnesses and to provide a 24hr helpline to parents) they don’t meet in person until they have been corresponding for a year. Within 24 hours of knowing her in person, Brock knows he wants to marry her and spend the remainder of his life with her but he knows that Erin has been hurt in the past, has trust issues and that his wealth is a huge barrier; and so he sets out to woo her through the month of Dec.
An Ideal Present. Charlie, Ophelia and Summer. 4* Genius Love
Charlie is a geeky, genius billionaire, inept with women, never knowing what to say to them but his bewilderment makes him cute. Ophelia has given up hoping that Charlie will make a move on her, she has been meeting him at the muffin stand for the past year at work but he never gives her any idea that he sees her as a desirable woman. She decides it is for the best, after all her situation is messy, she has only been separated from her possessive and controlling husband for 6 months and she knows that she will not able to divorce him for another 18 months. However, when she hands in her notice so that she can take a position nearer to her daughter Summer’s school (her cystic fibrosis condition means that she needs physio from her mother during the lunch break) Charlie decides it is now or never and invites Ophelia and Summer to a date at McDonalds. It is only then that she realises that Charlie is the Caspar she has been talking (and gently flirting with) from The Three Kings Foundation website and that while his face may not show his emotions, his eyes do!
Strong language.
A Secret Parcel. Matt, Georgia and Noah. 4* Artistic Talent
Matt is a talented artist and children’s writer, who projects a confident, cocky persona but has hidden vulnerability and depth. Georgia has been working for The Three Kings Foundation in the Northland for the past year, having moved from Christchurch with her son Noah after the death of her husband. During that year, Matt has regularly asked her out on a date (having fallen for her at first sight) but she has always refused, keeping things light and they have become friends during this period. However, after Matt connects with her troubled 10 year old son, she agrees to attend a Book Awards ceremony with him and things quickly heat up between them. Now all Matt has to do is make Georgia see how good things could be between them and agree to a HEA. Strong language. Note: The end of this book provides epilogues for the previous two books in the series.

5 Star Review of Three Wise Men Boxed Set by Serenity Woods
Three billionaire King brothers, three stories with each one unique and heart warming. All these books were well written and the writing was strong. I love the style of writing from Serenity Woods and look forward to reading more in the future.
To sum up all books in brief, these are three, well written, full length books that can be all read as
The Perfect Gift Book 1
I have not read this series before and yet I somehow managed to begin the series based on the children of the Three Wise Men. Having loved those books I immediately went looking for their fathers stories and found this boxed set.
This is Brock and Erin’s story. Erin is a single mum to Ryan who has bad asthma. It turns out that Brock is a paediatrician whom Erin has been chatting to online for a while.
Having lost his wife to cancer a couple of years ago. Brock doesn’t believe he will ever find love again. That is until he meets Erin at the hospital. There was something so beautiful about their romance as they slowly but surely moved forward. The interactions with Ryan were so genuine and I found myself fully invested in their story.
An Ideal Present Book 2
This is Charlie and Ophelia’s story and I will say that Charlie King has stolen a piece of my heart. Charlie is a medical researcher and is a genius. He has trouble with relating to women, so when he asks Ophelia out on a date, it really is awkward yet cute.
There is just something about Charlie that drew me right in, perhaps because although a billionaire, he has struggled for a lot of his life. I really felt that Ophelia appreciated him for the man he truly is and that she could accept his quirks. I admired how he dealt with Dillon, Ophelia’s ex husband.
I loved how inclusive he was of Ophelia’s six year old daughter Summer who has cystic fibrosis. Ms Woods did and great joy in writing a story line about a child with a serious illness, she wrote with compassion and care and from someone whose niece has cystic fibrosis I felt she did it justice.
A Secret Parcel Book 3
This is Matt and Georgia’s story and may well be my favourite. Matt is so different from his brothers and I was really drawn to him. He is possibly a little kinkier than his brothers and is certainly a smoking hot man.
The chemistry between Matt and Georgia was intense and had built up over the year that they had been working together. Not only had Matt gotten to know her but her son Noah as well.
I really loved how the relationship between Matt and Noah developed and was based on a joint love of Art, it was so heart warming.
There were some loose end tied up in this story and to me it brought the brothers full circle.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
