These stories were not as good as I was hoping they would be. They were weaker in character and story, but overall just rushed.
The first story, about Rand, was cute. He doesn’t want a serious relationship, but Pheobe pushes him to spend a week together in bed for the property of hers that he wants. The romance and characters were fine in this, but the climactic moment where Rand realizes he wants Pheobe for good just didn’t work for me. It made sense as an “I want you to stay” moment, but not an “I want to marry you” moment. It was way too rushed for that, in my opinion. So overall this was an okay story, but it was too fast, and that ruined it for me.
The second story, about Carter, was better. Overall this one was just cute, and I think since they worked out marriage before they fell in love, that worked better. I liked Carter, and Daisy was sweet.
The last story, about Colton, was cute. I probably found this one the cutest, and thought the attraction between the two very sweet and hot. But the way that Colton decided he wanted to keep Fayre around was way too fast, without much of a reason to be. He accepted what had happened without enough of a reason too quickly for me. But it was still a pretty cute story.
I’d probably give the first story a 2.5, maybe 3, and the others a 3, so I averaged to a 3 for the set.

2.5 stars.
I'm sorry, but I just was not a fan of this. There are 3 stories in this book, and they were so fast paced that I felt like there were no details. They meet, make love, live happily ever after, the end... For each story.
Not a fan. ):

Readable and inoffensive set of stories
3 stars
This is a set of three stories about three brothers and the women that finally manage to tame them.
Rand
Rand Alexander always has a gorgeous woman on his arm but since his wife died 6 years ago, he’s never again given away his heart. Innocent Phoebe Garrison has always felt like the unnoticed wallflower on the edge of Rand’s life but now she has a plan – the deed for the property his company needs in exchange for a week in her bed.
This was an okay story but Rand never really came out of his shell and remained from beginning to end a little bit of an enigma. I also didn’t really like the fact that Phoebe was the ex-fiancée of Rand’s brother – it just made her seem a little fickle.
Carter
Carter Sloane needs a bride quickly to ensure he fulfils the terms of his late father’s will and he has just the girl in mind. Daisy Jackson works for his company and has always had a little crush on her boss but she is more than stunned when suddenly he’s proposing marriage. But does he want a bride of convenience or a wife in truth?
This was a sweet little story and would have worked well if the author hadn’t tried to convince the readers that this was rational behaviour and something that would happen in everyday life. That, for me, meant I couldn’t really enjoy it for a fun little escape from reality that it should have been.
Colton
When straight-laced Colton Denning wakes up in Vegas next to a showgirl after a scorching night of passion he’s shocked and high tails it out of town. When the lovely lady in question, Fayre Cranston, turns up in Mexico where he’s working, Colton is quite keen to pick up where they left off. Until he discovers that she’s his wife.
Again, a fairly standard story that suffers largely due to its short length. It’s not hugely believable and for some reason I had huge issues with the name ‘Fayre’. However, both she and Colton were reasonable enough characters if nothing overly exceptional.
Overall, if you have this book then it’s worth a read but certainly not one that I would recommend you rush out and buy. As with many short stories, these suffer a lack of character development and believability due to the story length. They are readable, a little sexy and inoffensive. 3 stars.
