The very hot Warlocks of The Black Oak make magic sexy. There are three books in the Boxset, each focusing on a different relationship. There is a running theme throughout, as well as some undeniable lessons learned. Each book is easy to read and difficult to put down once you begin. Through pulse-pounding magical fights that include a shifter or two, and some steamy romantic interactions, pull you into their world of magic, the supernatural, and the paranormal. The characters are so relatable that you become wholly vested in their outcomes.
Book one in The Warlocks of The Black Oak: Boxset, Warlock’s Kiss, centers around Diesel and Kerra are the focus, and their relationship is complicated by a tragedy and a need to save someone dear to them both. That is the irony of each book. In order to protect one character, another character is put in jeopardy. This makes matters very serious in each story and quite dangerous.
In Book two, Warlock’s Night, Sinclair and Celeste are the focus. It picks up from Book One in which Celeste was under a curse of sorts. Now that she is back to herself, she discovers that she may not be. Through her struggle, Celeste and Sinclair learn life lessons that bring them closer and make them stronger. This particular book has some creepy parts that bordered scary. There were definitely some suspense and steamy sex components.
Book three, An Alchemist’s Desire, is an action-packed suspense romance page-turner. Thornwood Huntington is the guardian of all the warlocks and keeper of their secrets and magical objects. I wanted to hug him more than once, as he has been through so much in his life. Thorn (aka Thornwood) hits your heartstrings not in a way that you feel sorry for him, but you want him to find happiness. Of course, he does. I was not so sure about Raven being the one; however, she grew on me, and she showed herself to be quite useful.
I will go on to read the rest of the books in the series. I have to see if a certain necromancer finds love as well as the resident bad boy warlock.

Omg! I was blown away by this bundle of the first 3 must reads from “The Order of The Black Oak” – Warlocks series! … Each one has a fresh, new plot and just kept getting better! I was so hooked that I did not want to put it down whenever I had to, and then read all 3 in less than 2 days time! (1) “A WARLOCK’S KISS” (2) “A SORCERER’S NIGHT” and (3) “AN ALCHEMIST’S DESIRE” … Plus, then I was craving more and ordered the next 3 single books 😀 Ms. Bourque brings the H/h’s chemistry in each story with a slow burn then turns up the heat, clever dialogue & characters that are well-defined 😀 … Despite being shorter stories with a faster pace of happenings, the attention-to-detail & descriptions bring these page-turners to life! … Even tho I volunteered to read this, it was without any outside influences & I even ordered some of the next kindle books to keep. So yes, I can honestly recommend this to adult fans of fiction!
Kera and Diesel both struggle with the balance of family loyalty against their feelings for one another. Tragedy split them, and they both have to get over their feelings of betrayal in order to defeat the evil at the heart of both their families’ troubles. Celeste surfaces from an ordeal of torture and darkness with a fierce need to find her own strength, while Sinclair must fight his own need to protect her from further harm. Thornwood is ever the guardian, protecting the secrets of their magical world from those living around them, until he meets Raven and finds himself at odds with his reclusive nature with the need to let her in.
These three stories are short, and while interesting, they lack a lot of the development thats needed for a reader to form attachments to the characters. Our couples were either already in love (though estranged) or formed such instant bonds that we weren’t given a chance to go on that journey with them. Each story’s conflict rose and concluded quickly – predictably so. The main adversary held true through all three books, which made for an interesting arch overall, but the lack of draw into the characters lives had me finding myself simply pushing through to the end of the story.
However, for those looking for a quick evening read with some magic, intense sorcerers alongside fierce women and some sex tossed in, its a fun little trilogy.

The three books in this box set have it all. There’s magic, mysteries, mayhem, shifters and love. Each story tells the tale of how a member of the Order of the Black Oak find their true loves and what they need to do to make them theirs. The characters are dynamic, angsty at times and so sexy. There are trials and tribulations but ultimately the mysteries are solved and love wins out. I enjoyed these books immensely and loved the twists and turns of the stories. Great reads.

Warlocks of the Black Oak is a box set of the first three books in the series. All include the paranormal, lots of love, passion, danger, and an overarching plot that spans all three books. I really enjoyed reading each of these books and am loving this series!
A Warlock’s Kiss – Kera and Diesel used to be completely in love, but the night that her mother died changed everything. Now Kera is out for revenge, but can Diesel show her that there’s another way to defeat a common enemy? Oh my, this book was short, but intense! I felt a lot of angst, but I loved that this couple needed to fight for what their heart truly wanted. Kera felt so changed after her mother’s murder, but I loved watching her values really shine through and seeing how she dealt with her pain. Diesel was stuck between a rock and a hard place with his choices, and while he might not have always made the right one, I loved that he tried to atone for his mistakes. They made a fantastic team, full of chemistry and connection and love!
A Sorcerer’s Night – Celeste has been through a nightmare and while trying to heal, she tries to run away. Sinclair, only wanting to protect and love her, follows, but when the truth about her experience comes to light, will their love be enough to save Celeste again? Ohh, this book was fast paced, full of love and danger and I did not want to put it down once I started it! I was captivated by Celeste and her experience, and loved watching her face her fears and own her new strengths and skills! Sinclair had dreams, and every single one of them featured Celeste. I loved that he was willing to do the hard things to protect her, but let her be fierce and independent when it counted. The danger in this book is a continuation of the first book, so I loved how it all flowed together and kept me wanting more!
An Alchemist’s Desire – Raven is determined to unlock the powers of the violin that’s been handed down in her family line, so she goes to visit Thornwood. He wants to protect people from magically enhanced objects, but he’s finding that he might not be able to resist Raven. Will he be able to keep her and her dreams safe? This was the longest book in this collection, but it just added to the connection you could feel between Raven and Thorn! I enjoyed this storyline, I was kept on the edge of my seat with the drama, but I didn’t want to stop reading because of the relationship that develops! Raven often thinks about others and will do anything for those she loves, so I enjoyed her determination! It was amazing to see how Thorn went from being closed off to others to opening up to Raven. I liked that alchemy is what he focused most on, but I liked that Raven added light to his life. This book continues some of the overarching storyline from the series, but this book may have been my favorite of the three! This is an amazing series and I loved reading the first three books!
Each book in this set is enjoyable. Included is books 1-3 of The Order of the Black Oak series. This is a well written series with likable characters. I recommend reading.

This is the first three books in this wonderful series and if you love fantasy stories then this is the set for you. There is plenty of mystery and dram a and an underlying story throughout. A perfect way to introduce yourself to this series I will review each book separately.
THE WARLOCKS KISS
Kerela is bent on revenge she isn’t thinking straight distraught after her warlock father couldn’t save her mother as she was in her panther form. She turns away from everyone including her one true love Diesel as she seeks revenge The only problem is the warlock who killed her mother has now kidnapped Diesels sister and they will need to work together if he is to rescue her. Can he break down the walls she has built in the process and get back the woman he loves.
A SORCERER’S NIGHT
Celeste was captured and tortured by the dark mage see the first book as she is Diesels sister now she wants to learn the families magical secret but both them and her boyfriend Sinclair (Kareela’s brother) are trying to tell her to leave it alone that they will protect her. As danger threatens her in the shape of the soul eater will Sinclair drive her away with his over protectiveness or will he realise that she is far stronger than he realised.
AN ALCHEMIST’S DESIRE
Raven the grand daughter of a witch has worked hard on her violin playing and she has finally achieved a coveted interview that will finally give her some big money maybe even enough to pay her father’s medical bills and pay for further treatment To make sure she is as good as she possible can be she wants to open the magic of the family violin but she will need help for that. Her grandmother sends her to Thornwood a warlock recluse who she helped raise. Rather than helping her he actually casts a spell on her and takes away the violin Why does he believe that no human should have a magical artifact Will she be able to change his mind and what about the deep connection that is between them there will be plenty of spark between these two stubborn individuals and some of it may be a little steamy
These books are all interconnected and need to be read in order so this is the perfect way to pick them up each book is reasonable short in length so you don’t need hours to read it
This is an amazing collection of fantasy romance! I enjoyed them… They are exciting and magical, fascinating and mysterious..

The Order of the Black Oak – Collection, #1 three well written stories that kept me turning pages. I wonder if there is going to be a collection 2, I will be watching to see. The stories are A WARLOCK’S KISS, A SORCERER’S NIGHT, and AN ALCHEMIST’S DESIRE. Each book has a different couple that has to go through their own set of troubles, to be able to get their happy ending. If you have not read these stories I would say do so and I hope you like them as much as I did. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Warlocks of the Black Oak by Marie-Claude Bourque is a sensational boxset!! It contains all three of the books in this series. While each can be a standalone story….it is best to read them in order.
First, A Warlock’s Kiss is about Kerala and Burton. She’s a panther whose mother was killed in front of her, when she was young. Now she’s out for revenge. An old boyfriend returns intent on his own revenge for different reasons. They, reluctantly, decide to team up against warlock responsible for both acts. They discover they still have feelings for one another. Can they exact their revenge? Will they get together again or have things disintegrated too far.
Next, A Sorcerer’s Night is the story of Celeste and Clarke. She was kidnapped and is back. Now she needs to prove that she can be self-sufficient. But, her boyfriend, Sinclair (Sin), feels otherwise…as he continues to watch out for her….perhaps a bit too much. Somewhat predictable outcome…but, I thoroughly enjoyed it!!!
An Alchemist’s Desire follows Raven and Thornwood. He’s a recluse and an alchemist. His has seen horrible things . She’s a violinist who is sent to Thornwood’s home, by her grandmother, to help her disenchant a violin. But, he has other ideas….wonderfully wickedly delightful, unexpected story!!!!!

Super collection
This is a three book collection of modern day Warlocks fighting for the one they love.Each book has it’s own hot couple each with their own story to tell. The author does a fantastic job building their stories and pulling you in with all the drama,action,anxiety and fear as well as the romance and magic throughout. I loved reading them back to back as they link together with the cast of colorful characters involved in the stories which are brought to life with very descriptive and detailed scenes. I loved this set and am looking forward to the next book.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this set. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.
