Oh, Professor Riley, I've been a very naughty girl!
Plenty of action and sex in fifty tight pages, this is Indiana Jones and Raiders of the Lost Pearl (let your dirty little mind construe Pearl however it wants). The romance isn't as convincing as the previous two Quartets, but the clean writing style doesn't waver.

I love love love Riley. He's sexy manly and geeky all at same time. When Maggie needs his help and contact him both theirs lives are turned upside down. While their together sparks fly n who can resist sexy geeky Riley.

WOW hot and sexy with lots of toys and a mysterious pearl that has bad guys after it. Riley falls for maggie as soon as she enters coffee shop. This book, like the others so far is too short but u do get an inside to Cooper and his naughty toy chest.

Started of good but then it went way off the track and the whole thing just got unrealistic and way over the top. Some hot scenes but I need more than that.

I'm reading the series because I bought one of the books way down the line and I wanted to read about all the characters so I'm reading the series in order. I liked Dane, it was short but sweet and entertaining. Thomas was okay......and then we get this.
I'm not sure if I can even call it a story, there isn't much story there. The story element can probably be covered in two pages. Man meets girl, she has a priceless artefact. He wisks her away to his family home, stays in his brothers apartment, uses his sex toys (ewh), they catch the bad guy, fall madly in love, the end.
It just makes me wonder why I'm reading the books if there aren't any real characters or story in them? Plus it was £2, which I'm usually happy to pay for a book but this took me 30 minutes to read........I feel robbed.

Another reviewer Deb Schutlz beautifully summed up these books:
She forgot to mention bloke is a major Alphole but otherwise she nailed it.
The thing is, Ms Hart does herself a disservice. She has really good plot ideas but wastes them on her formulaic, all the brothers are interchangeable, we all have an anal fixation characters.
This novella is about a valuable artifact and people who will stop at nothing to get it, but the story is completely secondary to the cabinet of sex toys Riley's brother keeps in his guest room. And, can I just say, ew, what woman in her right mind would use a stranger's sex toys?
Ok... so, most of these books run along the same lines... boy meets girl, boy fucks girl till she is completely sated and exhausted, girl has a problem, and boy fixes problem...

I've never felt so drawn to a series that has not much to offer. It's like watching a train wreck. You don't want to see it but you can't look away. This is how I am feeling with this series. I'm going to have to read the next one just because I want to know about the fourth brother. Riley's book was short too just like the others. Insta-love and all. Not much else except the erotic scenes and the storyline not really existing.
