Ecopies thanks to the author

Synopsis from Goodreads
FROM NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR JULIA KENT--all FOUR episodes of the bestselling series in ONE boxed set!

COULD SHE REALLY FIND THE RIGHT GUY ON THE INTERNET?

"Hot, luscious woman who can suck a golf ball through forty feet of garden hose seeks rippling-ab'd firefighter who has a tongue that thrums like a hummingbird and enjoys painting my toenails and eating Ben & Jerry's out of the carton while watching Orange is the New Black."

Curvy business analyst Laura Michaels stared at the online dating site's registration screen and frowned. That's what she really wanted to write. By the time her best friend, Josie, edited and clicked "Send," her personals ad was more fantasy than reality.

OR WOULD SHE GET MORE THAN SHE BARGAINED FOR?

When two different guys -- Dylan Stanwyck and Mike Pine -- replied within two days, she seemed doubly blessed. After a first date with model-turned-firefighter Dylan that ended in bed -- and with a huge misunderstanding -- Laura came home from her Walk of Shame to an invitation for a hike with ski instructor Mike. The Great Outdoors became the setting for so much more...

Caught between two men -- literally -- who turned out to be roommates and secret billionaires, Laura makes a startling discovery about her own capacity for passion.

And, maybe, long-term love in an unconventional romance with two men that pushes every boundary.

Including her own.

This 122,000 word/450 page boxed set includes all four parts of the Her Billionaires series.

* * *

While it feels like tongue-in-cheek, slapstick humor erotic comedy, I think it's written in a much more careless manner than Obedient series.


Mike and Dylan are very understanding and patient, but Laura is an infuriating character. Honestly, that woman had so much baggage and was so quick to judge, I was seeing red. Also, who sleeps with two different dates for the first time without condoms? I was appalled by Laura's and her partners' reckless behavior. No in this day and age, surely?

Which takes to my least favorite trope in the world - unexpected pregnancy. Ugh. Did she even hear about a morning-after pill? Sorry, guys! It's a funny enough story, and Laura's best friend was stealing the show every time she appeared in the script. However, there are some serious issues I couldn't ignore, which made me lower my rating/ Overall, not my favorite series by her.

* * *

Хоть это и шаловливый, глупый, легкомысленный эротический роман-комедия, мне казалось, что написан он был в более безалаберной и бездумной манере, чем серия Подчинения.

Майк и Дилан - очень терпеливые и понимающие мужики, но Лаура приводила меня в бешенство. У неё было так много эмоционального багажа, и она так быстро бросалась к неверным выводам, что я не могла понять: что в этой балде мужикам было видно?

А также, скажите мне пожалуйста, кто спит с парой незнакомцев на первых свиданиях, не используя презервативы? Кто в наше время такой хернёй занимается? И мужики, конечно тоже виноваты.

Что приводит меня к самой нелюбимой уловке романов - неожиданной беременности. Ну ладно, забыла она принять вовремя противозачаточные таблетки. Бывает. Ну разве нельзя принять экстренную контрацепцию на всякий случай, Ну сходи же ты в аптеку!.. Как меня героиня раздражала пока мужики над ней сюсюкали! В общем, не лучшая серия автора. Разочарована.
