My focus should be on my dream job which I absolutely L-O-V-E, right?

My head and heart are in constant battle.
How can I deny what I crave the most?

This is amazing books emma write this 4 books for the readers i was glued from the first book
There are 2 stories included in this book. The first one was so bad I can’t bring myself to read the second.
The plot was thin at best, & jumped around erratically.
The characters were under developed to the point you were rooting against them not for them.
The sex scenes were cringe worthy in the way they were written, switching between course slag terms & medical terms, you certainly wouldn’t be getting hot under the collar reading them!
I wouldn’t recommend

As I don’t wanna give any spoilers. Just leaves to say very steamy not for the faint hearted. This has a lot of feeling in it too but as a good story goes it’s very centred on the steamy parts. Some of stories are better than the others as it goes with compilations.
This 4 Book Box Set was very addicting once I started reading each and every book in this wonderful collection! Every book in this amazing box set was well written with well developed characters that kept me totally engaged as I read each and every book in this must have collection!
I read two books of this set.

An enjoyable collection of 4 short romance stories. They can be read in any order and are interesting and entertaining. The various storylines has a variety some suspense, emotional rollercoaster feel, a twist or two, hot sexy chemistry in well written romances and a group of well casted characters. I voluntarily read and reviewed this ARC which only gave a copy of the last two stories in the set.
I’m melting! Yes, this book is just that HOT! And, I’m proud to say, I figured out the twist in Too Bad . . . We Didn’t Realize. It took awhile, but I figured it out before it was revealed. We Didn’t Realize has me smiling most of the way through, with an exclamation of “finally!” This was super sweet and totally HOT!
Too Bad . . . I Screwed It is just as HOT!! And, no, I did not figure out the full twist in this one. I loved the HEA and how the characters finally pulled it off, but I seriously shed some tears between the HOT and the HEA.
Not my favorite, have liked other books by this author but these just seemed ok, but not my favorite people to care about.
A compelling and enjoyable collection of the Too Bad series! The riveting story-lines are emotionally deep, well written, well developed, and move along at a brisk pack. Each book is unique with characters that are likeable; the chemistry between them is hot and off the charts. Highly recommended!

This 2 story set was worth reading. The first tale of a woman who knows her mind and goes after it when she gets a new job has some fun and teary eyed moments with friends who help straighten everyone out. The second story is about what started out as a competition in classes to become a lawyer between 2 students vying for the top grade. They become best friends, take the top 2 honors and move to different cities but talk to each other almost every day. One of them, Vanessa, becomes engaged but the other one, Damian, finds out the man she is engaged to is a male black widow. Entertaining with a bit of a twist.

I have previously read and reviewed this first two books in this series so I will only review the last two books here.
Too Bad – I Screwed it: Mike and Theresa were both employed at the same firm so they had to keep their relationship a secret. Theresa was just recovering from a bad divorce while Mike was a man that kept his emotions under a tight rein. When Theresa comes face to face with her ex all the pent up anger and frustrated of the past was too much for her and she exploded in anger and Mike bears the brunt of it. Has she lost him forever, or will she eventually find a way to explain the reason why? Read the book to find out!
Too Bad, We Didn’t Realize: Vanessa and Damian had been friends and rivals since college, five years later and living in different cities they still were each o, chatting most days. When her latest man asks her to marry him, she agrees but is beset with doubts that only Damian can solve. I really enjoyed reading these stories. The characters were believable and had depth and emotions that as a reader I could relate to. Sometimes we second guess ourselves into dismissing what our heart tells us, this became obvious to me after reading these books. A great series and an entertaining and thought provoking read.
These books are amazing! Emma gives the readers four amazing stories of love in this new collection. Too Bad…I Screwed It is the story of Theresa and Mike.

Each book in the box set is amazing. Each character is wonderful and unique to the story that is in the book. I have read two of the books in the box set before the set was created. The other two were written and added to the set. Reviews for the books are below.
Too Bad.. It’s complicated…Emma has wrote an amazing book. This book grabs your attention and keeps it till the end. This is Brittany and Patrick’s story. They are step siblings. Both secretly like each other. Boys date Brittany because of her dad. Patrick’s mom married Brittany dad. Patrick’s mom does something that involves Patrick and Brittany. The way she goes about it is wrong. Emma has created amazing characters with amazing chemistry. You find yourself rooting for Patrick and Brittany and that everything works out for them in the end. This is a great book to read. The story flows smoothly. The twists and turns in the book keeps you guessing as to what is going to happen. Pick up the book, you will not be disappointed. I volunteerly received an ARC of this book and this is my opinion.
Too Bad..I couldn’t resist…Emma has done it again. While she doesn’t have alot of books on Amazon (they pull some of her books); the ones she does have are amazing. I have been receiving mini novellas from her for awhile. This book is true Emma fashion. This is my second time receiving an ARC from her. The characters are great. The chemistry is great. Plus the girl power in the book is amazing. I can’t wait to read Carol and Kimberly stories. Pick up this book and any other books by Emma. You will not be disappointed. I received an ARC copy of this book and I am voluntarily giving my own opinion.
