3 1/2 stars: Cute but...

Don’t get me wrong, the whole series is a feel good type of romance in each book with the usual push/pull with the H & h.... but if you’ve been binging romance/erotic novels as much as I have during this coronavirus nonsense, then you’d understand my hesitation on rating this higher. The plots have all been done before, a lot. Some better and some worse than these. The “conflict” in each novel have all been done before. The “banter” has all been done before.

BUT... it’s still a feel-good type of romance series that doesn’t make you feel like you need to see a therapist or go to church after.... which can be a pro or a con based on how you look at it.

It’s just all been done before. But at least the author does it in a concise and articulate manner... and come time for an epilogue, I’d dare you not to say “aww!”.... I did it with an eye roll here and there because my cynicism couldn’t hold up and I was annoyed at myself for “aww”-ing at the most predictable version of almost PG version of “romance” novels I’ve encountered.

If these were made into movies, I’d imagine it’d be the ideal type cast to have early 2000’s Freddie Prinze Jr playing the H in every book... to the point where it’s equally annoying yet adorably fitting to warrant more eye rolls.

A must buy!

I am so happy that I bought this box set because after listening to the first book I knew I had to have the rest of the series.
Each book introduces us to a new and fun couple but what I love is that we see all of them throughout the entire series. Both of these narrators did such an amazing job it was a pleasure to listen to them for over 26 hours.

Outstanding series!!

Every book I’ve read by this author has been fantastic. The BBB series is a must read. The performers are so talented and are excellent at bringing the characters to life. Teddy Hamilton is my most favorite performer with his sexy panty melting voice! I recommend this series. It’s well worth the price!

Excellent Series

This is an excellent series! I felt like I was a part of their families and friendships. The intimacy as a part of the various relationships is descriptive and and juicy. Always a plus. I'm loving this author. Definitely worth the money or credit.

Kayley Loring is a 1-click favorite Author, so I knew I would enjoy these books. You cannot beat this bundle with 4 books in 1 & over 26 hours of audiobook awesome! Each story is sweet, funny, and unique. Each time I thought I knew what to expect I was pleasantly surprised! There are some adorable scenes, layered characters with complex history, and some SUPER HOT ear-scorching scenes! I love the hilarious descriptors that Kayley comes up with! I definitely recommend this bundle!

Hilarious. Hot. Freaking Adorable.

all four of these books are amazing. I keep revisiting them over and over. the characters are all so different but loveable and every story is unique. it's not just about the hot sex (BUT DAMN, THE HOT SEX!!!) - the love and storyline that blooms in each book is so delicious and you can really picture yourself or your friends in these situations. so very good.

A Fantastic Box Set!!

This is a fantastic Box Set!! I loved all the stories
Rebound with Me
Nina & Vince's story - A first Grade Teacher, and a Broker. They get together under unusual circumstances, their ex-es are together after cheating on each of them. I like that Vince came clean in the beginning on his initial motives of 'revenge' but that he was ultimately honest and had real feelings. The fake swearing by the first grade teacher was cute, and Nina's inner monologue when she met Vince was hilarious! I think Vince might have been my favorite character in this set.

Come Back to Bed
Bernadette and Matt - Matt may have come off too stiff, but Bernadette and her love for Daisy sure did break down his barriers. Aunt Dolly was the best emailing character ever - that 'cool aunt who's better than your mom' - priceless!
The way Bernadette's art became a character and helped shape the story was fantastic.


Tonight You’re Mine
Chase & Amy - Love at first sight, and love interrupted. I felt really bad for Chase throughout a lot of this story. He tried to do the right thing for his friend, when by all accounts, he didn't need to, it was his friend who did the wrong thing. Keaton was not a favorite character in this one. Ultimately when Chase & Amy got together so many feelings came out and I was fearful for the guys friendship.

The Plus Ones
Keaton and Roxy - Well, in this one, Keaton was totally different and more grown up. It was Roxy who got on my nerves a few times (although in a hilarious way) I really liked their story as well, Enemies to lovers. You also got to spend time with the other three couples and their kids throughout this one.

Overall - I enjoyed all these stories. They are well written, and funny as heck! All of them had characters that you loved and moments that got you. And the narrators! Teddy Hamilton, Mackenzie Cartwright are fantastic narrators that brought all these stories to life. Get this set!

Feel-good Fluff if somewhat cheezy

I liked this collection. The male narrator sounds amazing, and the female narrator was great. The stories were simple and feel-good fluff with steam, perfect if you're in the mood for that.

*end story connects with the rest.

You've just found your weekend binge

These are four of Ms. Loring's earlier works, 2018-19, which coincidentally happens to be when I started reading her. It's interesting to see how her creativity has evolved over the years. I still enjoy reading/listening to her older stuff. These books were written to be read, not performed so don't expect full cast performances. They are dual POV and the narration is good. This is not an entirely cohesive set—the stories share characters but their themes run the gamut from complex to unusual to light rom/com tropes. Typically they include really fun side characters and pop culture references, and each book gets a cute bonus epilogue written just for this set.

5 Ducking Stars!

Just go ahead and buy this.. you will not be disappointed. I absolutely loved each story and I don’t know if I could pick a favorite!!Kayley has a way of writing the perfect amount of ❤️ 🔥 and 😂. Then you throw in the narrators and the story is taken to a whole other level.
