THE ROMERO BROTHERS SERIES

Love all the books in the Romero Brothers series! Each brother finding true love. Will read them again. - Kobo customer

Anyone who has read Shadonna's series on the Romero family knows the guys are all super hot, successful, and upstanding citizens, even if rather commitment phobic. But Jenna-Lynn, her backstory was a surprise. Can't reveal too much without having to give a spoiler alert, so read the Billionaire's Assistant. It's another good one. I hope a boxed set is in her fans' future! -AMAZON

I love the story line and how it kept you guessing. Who would've thought that Jenna would be who she was. You have your suspicions but the story was written so well that it kept you hanging. Great job. I can't wait for the next book just the first paragraphs of it have me drooling already. This is going to be a good one. :-) – AMAZON

I love this author. I love the series too. Definitely romance at its best. These guys are a woman's dream come true. Too bad they really don't exist, but it's still nice to dream. That's why I read.—AMAZON

The Romero brothers are perfect!! It's nice that they actually get to know each other before they jump in to bed with each other! Too many books now are just all about the naughty bits but these aren't, yes there are naughty bits going on but there's more of a story too! Zack in particular when he speaks with Blue, he is so seductive in normal conversation!! Three great stories lovely reads, will definitely read the rest! –AMAZON

Excellent –AMAZON

I love how she created the family to be real and have hearts rather than pretentious little selfish rich boys! – AMAZON

The Romero Brothers books are fun, fast-paced romances. Each story featured a new couple and the main hero was one of the Romero Brothers. It was nice to see it all connected yet have each story remain separate. The Romero Brothers are hot, powerful, billionaires. The stories each have happy endings which I am a fan of! They are a perfect escape from the world. –AMAZON

I love the Romero Brothers series!!! Great story lines. Great family. I’ve enjoyed all the books in the series so far. It was nice to read the first three in the series in this box set. The stories are captivating with some page turning suspense thrown in. The characters are loveable and I love Granpa Toni. He’s a ton of fun. The books have great supportive characters. The stories are well written. –AMAZON
