The Maxwell Brothers, Books 4-8

Maxwell Box Sets, Book 2

By: Layla Hagen

Narrated by: Jacob Morgan, Savannah Peachwood

Fall for five swoony, stubborn, sinfully sexy men who rule the boardroom, love hard, fight harder, and never give up on their women. Packed with forbidden office chemistry, surprise pregnancy, fake dating, second chance romance, and enemies-to-lovers one-bed tension, this box set delivers all the heat and heart you crave.

Kiss Me Forever - A scorching one-night stand becomes a disaster when Luke Maxwell turns out to be her new boss. He’s all business—until one jealous kiss proves neither of them forgot their night together.

Love Me Forever - A week of vacation bliss with a side of hot kisses. A positive pregnancy test. When she tracks down Travis Maxwell, they agree to co-parent… until his protective instincts turn into something more. She wants forever—just not out of obligation.

Give Me Forever - She’s broke and rebuilding her life. He’s the first love she never forgot. Sharing an apartment with Sam Maxwell was supposed to be temporary—until one late-night kiss changes everything.

Tempt Me Forever - Drake, the hotel’s new general manager, is infuriating… and irresistible. A trip to Aspen turns into sharing one room and one bed. Then, one confession changes everything. She knows he’s trouble—but oh, the delicious kind.

Cherish Me Forever - One spilled drink, one accidental confession, and one fake-dating deal later, Reese finds herself falling for newly divorced Dominic. Between stolen kisses and late-night talks, pretending turns into something heartbreakingly real.

All of the women that the Maxwell Brothers Married. didn't come from money. But everyone had relationship issues.

Everyone of them loved their spouse's. And they all stayed in their relationship. And had plenty of Children.

The family dynamics

I just finished all 8 books of this series. I enjoyed each and every one of them. It took some dedication to listen to so many hours however it was well worth it!

I read the entire series

I will start with what I love about this this series. I love first of all, that all of the couples were heterosexual. Man loving woman, woman loving man.
I love that all of the engagements were done privately and not in public and with any show and nobody taping it or anything like that. So those are two things that I love about this series. I love that all the males, the brothers, were good men and they got along well as a family.
It's kind of un-natural though, because in a real family, you don't have people getting along totally well (all the time) in a big family like that. You always have a little more conflict than what is in this series, so that wasn't a realist troupe, but I love that the men were all good men and the girls were good girls too, and that all the men married working class women.
Even though they're coming into a wealthy family, those women were all independent, and none of them wanted the men for their money, they wanted to do their own thing. They wanted to find their own way career wise. Yes, they accepted the comforts that came with being in well off family, but they wanted to do their own work. Now some of the criticisms that I have about the series , not that I hated:

The series didn't have enough conflicts. The conflicts were too mild. They weren't strong enough.
They weren't antagonistic enough, they were just mild, and I think that's why I stayed with it, because right now in my life, I needed mild. I didn't want anything aggressive, right now.
I want to just feel happy. But under normal circumstances, this series would have been too mild for me, and if I were watching the TV version, I would probably not have gone through to the end, but I needed this to keep my company in the traffic while to and from work.
Since it's a series, they could have joined some of the characters together, like I would have liked to hear more about what happened to Kendra's sister and Megan's best friend and Dominic's sister that they had roped into the family female group.
I would have liked to hear more about their lives. I liked Reese's story a lot. Both of them got good men, Reese and Kimberly. Dominic has his own money. So we know that he's not latching on to Reese, because, you know, she's coming from a wealthy family like her ex fiancé Malcolm.
I would have liked to hear what the family had to say about Malcolm when they found out that, he was actually cheating on Reese with her best friend from the very beginning. Oh my God, what a dog s***, wow, oh, my God, that was a big surprise, but I think the author could have done more to highlight it to make it come out more shocking. I think she could have developed Malcolm's character some more too.
I dont know why Reese was so attached to him even though he's such a scumbag. After so many years, she was still affected by him. Also, I think the author could have developed Paisley's growth issues a little bit more. I would have liked to hear what was happening with Paisley, as she grew into a teenager more at the family gatherings. What were some of the difficult issues that she was going through? And how her uncles and her father and her stepmother dealt with them.
So the relationship with Lexie and Paisley could have been more developed. I would have liked if Jonathan at work could have presented a little more conflict in terms of admiring Reese for herself not anything untoward, but you know, just kind of pushing a little bit more to see, he's not giving up that easily.
I think the family was too accepting of whomever their siblings brought home, they weren't guarded at all, but then the boys took so long to find partners that maybe when they finally decided to bring home someone, they trust each other's judgment.
Oh I would have liked to hear more about Sam's backs story with Olivia, who cheated on him. I would have liked if Olivia had come in the picture more, and that would have pushed that conflict a little bit. I also would have liked to know how Sam's clinic progressed. I mean, did he build on the present hospital, or did he build his own, and how was he going to finance that clinic? Because it's a probono clinic, it’s going to cost a lot of money, and you can’t just put your trust money in it totally, you have to find ways to find money constantly, consistently, to put into a Probono clinic, how will it be maintained? Those were some of my criticisms of the series. But it kept my company for the whole time, and I stayed with it. Thank you.

Family

I loved how close the family was, I always wished I had that. They were rich, but didn't flaunt it. The love stories were all different. There was laughter and sadness. Just great overall. I wouldn't mind a series about the kids.
