The series is a 5 star
931432
I gave the series 4 out of 5 stars because there is no way to skip from Book 1 to Book 2 or Book 3 if you are using the older Kindles (those that don't have touch screen). I had already read Book 1 (I got it for free), but the series was cheaper than the individual books, so I purchased it. Unfortunately, I had to click through all of Book one pages (and it's very time-consuming) to get to Book 2. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the series and am now getting ready to purchase the prequels and the next set of books offered by Tesar.

Addendum: Amazon has done some updating to the older Kindles (when I recently turned wireless on, the update came automatically), and you can now skip through each book. Yeahhhh! So I've changed my rating to 5 stars.

This has been a great series, I highly recommend it. Each book is for the most part self contained and entertaining. Yes there is an order, but I found no issue in reading them out of order. The characters are well fleshed out and the individual stories are tight.

I've actually all three books in the series so far. I loved them. I don't write to many reviews but this series so far deserves the 5 star rating. I really look forward to the next in the series and hope it does not fall into the trap of a lot of the other series books, spending half the book recapping the first three. But once get started on these books get ready for a ride it's very hard to put down.

I love this series  The character development is one of the key reasons. The other reason is the mention of great classics and works of art.

I have stopped giving 5 stars to books I review unless
A) they are excellent on their own and stand head and shoulder above the rest of the genre
B) they are part of a series that is overall worthy of 5 stars.

Otherwise, 4 stars is my max score for good books I enjoy but that lack in some department or other.

This book and the series it's part of gets a 5 stars for various reasons.
It is well written
It is original
It has compelling characters
The story is excellent.

What else would I want?
If there is a negative, it is that the stories are short. I'll simply skip the next few books until I know I can have a nice longer story to read.

Well done.

The stroy line has a nice fresh angle. The characters are well developed and you sometimes find yourself liking a bad guy here and there. This series is fun, full of action, friendship, adventure and comedy. I have nothing bad to say about it other than there has to be more where is it, why is it not on dvd yet. You won't be making a mistake with this purchase.

this series is the best. It intriguing,sexual, and caring for one another . everything you would want in a good book. this series has got me though tough times and I'm happy that there is another book coming soon. i am looking forward to reading that book as well and some of the other books the author has to offer. i have given this book five stars because it is just so hard to see some people in this life go though what Hilary did and to some people this gives them hope on what is to come in there life.

This is a wonderful series that keeps you so interested in the people who are in this series that you just have to continue to read the series.  This series was a very pleasent surprise as this is not genre that I usually read. These aurthors are an awesome team of writers, that hold your intrest from book 1-the end of the series.

I have followed this series from the first. I don't want to miss a one.  I have come to know the characters well. It's good to keep up with them and what's going on in their lives.  All the books have a good mystery.

I have read them all up to this one and love, love the series.  I've written reviews before but the questions about violence and sexual content made me realize WHY I love this series.  There is nothing offensive or jarring in these books yet they are a fascinating look into another culture and the lives of the people.  Call me nostalgic, but these stories are uplifting and, many times, very amusing.

There is no way you can give this series less than 5 stars.  I enjoyed and own the whole series and as soon as the new books come out I have to have it  It is romance in style.  I recommend it to all that don't mind reading about mnage relationships.

This series is a great, interesting and hard to put away. I wish the story hadn't ended in the fifth book because I would like to know what happens with a few of the characters as they get older. I've recommend this series to a few friends already. I hope they and anyone reading this review enjoy them as much as I did. This is a series I know I will read more than once.
