1. Find You In Paris
I thought this was going to be the typical fake marriage of convenience, fall in love, and end with a HEA. 

This book had a slight twist. There was a little mystery, suspense, and intrigue. My initial thoughts about Sebastian changed over time. Diane was not my favorite person, but she grew on me after some time. 

I can also envision a story about both of the other "Darcy" brothers. What is the mystery behind Noah never making an appearance? What is the backstory regarding Raphael and the girl at the party? Will the secret ever come to light?

This was not a cliffhanger. The author provided enough questions and detail for a few additional books. I received this book as an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

2. Raphael's Fling
I really enjoyed this book, and was very pleasantly surprised. Mia, had a fling with Raphael, the CEO of the company where she was employed. That is the bare bones of the book.

This book was so much more. There were unexpected twists and turns. There were surprising layers to Raphael. You got to experience the full gambit of Mia's emotions while she worked through her relationships with Raphael and her parents. Eva had a great relationship with her sister and a solid relationship with her parents, although she didn't quite believe it.

I liked Mia and Raphael. I liked that they liked each other. Their conversations were humorous. Their chemistry was great. I would definitely recommend this book.

3. The Perfect Catch
I was able to read this book in one sitting. This book was interesting. Noah and Sophie were attracted to each other, and seemed to have this underlying heat between them. Almost like it was on simmer, ready to book over. They were cute together, slightly hesitant and a tad vulnerable.

There were a couple of unexpected twists. I wish we could have experienced the conversation Sophie had with her father, that I imagine was similar to the one Noah had with his father.

The Perfect Catch started out a little slow for me, but then picked up a bit. This is the third in the series. My favorite is still number two, Raphael's Fling.

A fabulous box set with all three of the Darcy brothers in one place! A treat of gift that keeps on giving!!

The first book is eldest brother Sebastian's story, who meets Diane the daughter of a business man whose business he had inadvertently helped destroy... Not a recipe for a happily ever after, but a business arrangement, a mystery to solve and a fake relationship give them time to get to know each other - and wow do these characters have chemistry!

The second book is about middle brother Raphael and Mia who meets at the Xmas party... He is fun loving and charismatic but not really relationship material. This book still has such spirit and raw sex appeal, it is fun and steamy, but the traumas and angst suffered by Mia gives it great depth and thank goodness Raphael rises to the challenge.

The final book is for Noah and his sweet Sophie. This may have been my favourite despite taking a serious dislike to one of the characters (I won't say who so I don't spoil anything). There is fun and intrigue and steamy romance, just like the other other books, but there such joy in seeing Noah grow as you know he has met his soul mate - you finish the book and the series, and your mind just goes 'aaaahh' (so content)!!

An anthology of three full-length books and one novella revolving around the three Darcy brothers. a trio of wealthy, aristocratic Frenchmen.
The youngest brother, Noah, and the woman who falls in love with his oldest brother have something in common, they both want revenge of the Darcy family. Diane just wants to take Sebastian down because he sent her father on the road to ruin. But he may be able to convince her differently.
His brother Raphael has been having fun with someone in his office but she runs when it starts to get serious. Meanwhile Noah has met his American landlord, Sophie, and is entranced. He just needs to dump his Darcy inheritance and he'll be free to live his life.

None of the books was particularly deep or attention-catching but I finished them all.

Pretty boring. Very predictable. Finished just because I can't stand leaving a book unfinished
