They say money can’t buy love. But what about fame?

Ever since rock legend Ziggy Barnes died in a fiery plane crash, his family members have been struggling to put their lives back together and find love. Fans of reality TV and family dramas will love these three steamy romance novels.

This set includes:

• The Baller’s Secret Baby: When childhood sweethearts Nick and Eden are reunited, they fall for each other hard. But Nick has no interest in settling down, so when that little stick shows an unmistakable plus sign, suddenly everything is on the line. With a secret baby on the way, will Nick realize that having the home court advantage is what he's wanted all along?
• Machine: A Bad Boy Military Romance: Former SEAL Bridger Thompson is worried his secret life will destroy his relationship with reality star Dynassy Barnes. She stirs a desire in him that he hasn’t felt in years, and he’s determined to make her his, even though he fears he’ll never be able to love her the way she deserves.
• Bishop’s Desire: When the irresistible Episcopal priest Eduardo Soto offers to marry her, Chloe Thomas views it as a marriage of convenience. For him, it could be the salvation he so desperately needs. But when Chloe is offered the opportunity of a lifetime, will she leave her new husband behind after all he’s sacrificed for her?

Great series!! 😍😍

This was a good series each book about a different Barnes family member. Each likeable and each story character having to deal with Lucinda, the manipulative mother. She was funny and selfish but actually had a knack for business but she drove her kids away at times becauseof her meddling. There were some very funny parts too. I really liked Eduardo 's story.
I could have saved myself a credit had I known these books were a part of the romance package. But I enjoyed them anyway. Each story was entertaining and well narrated. And let's not forget about the romance!!
Aiden Snow...all I can say is yummy..yummy..that man's deep vouce is enchanting, sweet and sexy. Yep, he's a fav of mine.

very good

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! After listening to this story,. I totally enjoyed reading this book. It’s well written and the characters were uniquely fantastic. I would suggest this book to my friends that like this sort of genera. this was a good book. The narrator was great.

performance 4
story 2
rated it a 2 because I managed to finish it. female lead selfish and rather stupid. female narrator.... I had to run her parts at 1.7 speed. that's the fastest I've ever run any book. Aiden is, of course, amazing.

Not for me

I'm halfway in book 2 but I'm not liking it. I find the character development lacking. They are vague. The Barnes children hardly develop at all. In book 2 she was so snobbish and cringe. I am going to listen to it because I paid for it but honestly if I could return it I would. I think if they were longer and allowed for the characters to develop more and their relationship didn't just happen without any built up they might actually turn on to be better.

Eh stories

The concepts of the stories I understood, but I was bored halfway through book 2. Book 3 was my least favorite. Had a hard time with the overall concept. However, I would always give something a chance.
