The English Brothers Boxed Set, Books #1-4 (The English Brothers #1-4) by Katy Regnery

Though I've recently uploaded my reviews of the first 4 books in the "Blueberry 1 - The English Brothers" as stand alone novels, I'm actually a cheat ;) I bought them in this set but thought it would be better to have an individual review for each

Here are the links to the individual reviews:
1. Breaking Up with Barrett [Barrett & Emily] ★★★★
2. Falling For Fitz [Fitz & Daisy] ★★★★
3. Anyone But Alex [Alex & Jessica] ★★★★
4. Seduced by Stratton [Stratton & Val] ★★★★


I really enjoyed this book set, I gotta say, the last one of Stratton was my absolute favorite! It would be hard for me to try and rank the others though :) Each had it's own magic that made the story so sweet and special. 

The first 3 books were rekindled love but each was different and not only because though the English brothers have enough in common they are also VERY different from one another. I loved the ladies they fell for. Each was a strong willed woman who knew what she wanted in life and was willing to fight for what she believed in. All 4 of them truly saw the men they were after for what they really are and were accepting of them as they were, not falling into the over emotional traps we see in many romance novels. Even if an act was a bit "too much" if it was "true to character" they accepted it for what it was. 

The novels in this one aren't long, round 200 pages which also means they are mostly about the romance buildup with very little happening on the outside. It's very sweet and loving, without a lot of angst or plot twisters. You have to be into the romance 100% and if you are you'll LOVE this series. I enjoyed it, though I would have been happy to get more in the first 3 installments. With Stratton I got it ALL. I'm TOTALLY in love with him.. my PERFECT book boyfriend <3

ABOUT THIS SERIES
 
 "The English Brothers" is Contemporary Romance series by Katy Regnery. It's a part of the "Blueberry Lane" universe where 4 VERY rich houses are located. Each "sub-series" centers around one family -  (1)  English -  (2)  Winslow - (3) Rousseaus - (4) Story.  
 
Generally speaking each book can be read as a standalone but I think that though it doesn't matter with each "sub-series" you start it makes sense that whichever you chose you start with the first book in that particular "sub-series". 

While most books are quite short and not complicated they are easy and fun reads. I really enjoyed them.
