Do you have a desire to read well written romance? You know the ones that stay with you long after you've completed them? That is exactly what Romi Hart has gifted us with. Inside of this ridiculously amazing collection, you will find three well crafted books that come complete with riveting storylines and realistic characters that you will have no trouble envisioning. Romi has a talent that is indescribable, however, should you not be familiar with Romi's work, why not give this collection a try? I was enraptured from the very beginning all the way through to the end.

Inside you will find 3 romances that I am sure you'll love. Boxset includes; Temptation, Addiction and Passion. What I enjoyed the most, is simply the way each story 'flowed', and as you continue through the Boxset, you can still catch up with past characters. How amazing is that? I know that I have read books that I've never wanted to end and this is a great way to keep up with past characters and another example of Romi's incredible creativity.

I was incredibly fortunate to have requested an advanced reader's copy of Out Of Bounds Boxset in exchange for my honest & voluntarily given opinion and I promise you that you'll love it as I have.

i read this box set as part of an arc program. This set includes Temptation, Addiction and Passion.

Temptation - Reesa is a single woman who really doesn't date after getting out of a bad marriage. When Reesa and her best friend were out at a bar one night, Reesa was watching the sports news about Marcus Winters donating money to charity and she commented on it. When she heard a voice behind her asking how much he should have donated, she was shocked to see him standing there. Marc started talking to Reesa and asked her to take a walk with him to get to know him. Reesa agreed and they spent the evening talking. When Marc asked for her number, she told him she didn't really think he would call her, but he did. Marc wanted to date Reesa, but she kept trying to avoid it. When she finally agreed, Marc took her to one of his games. Marc was serious about dating Reesa but she thought he would get bored and move on. When Marc continued to be there, Reesa was secretly thrilled, but she was scared when their relationship went public and Marc learned of her past. I liked this story. I liked that Marc was patient with Reesa and he knew he wanted to be with her. Reesa wanted to be with Marc, but she was hurt in the past and was scared. I think Marc and Reesa had a great connection and i think they both really wanted it to work.

Addiction - This is the story of Kylie and Jordan. This is the second book in the Bad Boy of Sports series and tells the story from Kylie's point of view about her romance with Jordan, whic we started to learn about in book 1. Jordan told Kylie he liked her, but he couldn't commit to a relationship, but wanted to have fun and see each other. Kylie usually fell too hard and too fast for her boyfriends, so she decided to have fun with Jordan. They had a great connection and chemistry. Jordan treated Kylie like a girlfriend and soon she had fallen for him. Just when things are looking up for the couple and they seem to be falling for each other, there is a twist that changes everything. I like this series and really wanted Jordan and Kylie to have a happy ending. I liked them together and thought they really did love each other.

Passion - This is the third book in this series and tells the story of Krys and Dex. Krys is the step sister of Jordan, the soccer player from Addiction. Krys and her daughter Amelia have recently moved to the US and Krys is feeling a little lonely after not dating for the last nine years. Krys sees Jordan finding love and she feels like she would like to meet someone. When Krys meets Dex at a soccer match, Jordan warns her away from his teammate. Dex sees Krys at Jordan's engagement party and they dance. When Krys allows herself to be attracted to Dex, she invited him home with her. They have a great night and Dex tells Krys he wants to see her again. Krys is told Dex is a playboy, but she doesn't see it and he treats her very well. When Krys tells Jordan she is seeing Dex, he doesn't handle the news well and it causes friction for everyone. I like this series and i really liked this book. I liked how Dex was determined to prove himself as a good guy, even though he had a reputation of a playboy. I think he really loved Krys and he wanted to be with her, and only her. I like how Dex tried to be good to Amelia also.

Good set and a great way to read the series.

The ARC was given to me by the author. My review is being given voluntarily.
Box set by Romi Hart : Out of Bounds Series- bk1 Temptation bk2 Addiction bk3 Passion
I gave this box set 5 starts. I really like all 3 stories, and I can't tell you how excited I am that someone finally wrote a story about a soccer team

Temptation- is about Reesa and Marcus winter a well known soccer player
"An intense yearning filled her, and Reesa pushed up on her toes, bridging the gap. His lips were soft, and she could smell the coffee on his breath. She moaned and pulled away, but Marc chased her, kissing her again. This time, there was urgency in the contact, and Reesa’s back hit the wall, pinned by Marc’s hard body. She squealed but not in protest, her chest heaving against his as her heart tried to escape her ribs and her lungs begged for air- God, she wanted him!"

Addiction - is about Kylie Michael's and Jordan Dennison (this was my favorite of the 3) Kylie is Reesa's best friend and Jordan is also Marcus friend and teammate.
" Opening the door to her apartment and finding Jordan standing there in a collared shirt that brought out the blue in his eyes and dark designer jeans made Kylie’s nerves tingle, and she couldn’t tell if it was from anxiety or anticipation. His smile melted her, though, and she grinned back. “Come in,” she offered, stepping back. He took one stride past her, and as she closed the door behind him, he grabbed her and kissed her soundly, with enough passion to make her feel like they hadn’t seen each other in three weeks rather than three days. When he released her, Kylie found her knees weak"

Passion - This is about Krys Dennison, her daughter Amy and Dexter Collins. Krys is Jordan's stepsister and Dex is one of the soccer team members.
"She blinked up at him, debating telling him how much she wanted to put her hands and mouth all over his body, to memorize each angle and defining line between muscles. Instead, she went a different route. “I like you, Dex, and I don’t like a lot of people.” “I guess I should feel privileged, then.” He pulled her closer and lowered his head so his nose almost touched hers. “I like you, too. In fact, I haven’t been able to get you out of my head since the moment we met.” He didn’t wait for a response as he pressed his lips to hers in a short but passionate kiss. When he pulled back, Krys stared at him, her mouth gaping and her eyes not quite focused as her head spun. Just that brief kiss had set a bonfire in her gut, and she felt moisture gathering in her panties."
These were a very sexy and emotional stories, each of them had it's own bit of a surprise.
The 3rd book to me ended too abruptly, I would have liked to see an epilogue of Krys & Jordan and maybe revisit all the other great characters 😀.

If you like sports romance this one is a must read.

This is a great box set of alpha male sports figures and the women they fall for. Each tale takes twists and turns just when you think it's a straight shot to the finish line.

==========
Temptation 5.0 out of 5 stars
==========
If you like sports romance this one is a must read.

Reesa, an interior designer and party planner, meets Marc, a professional soccer player, when she and her best friend are out for a night on the town. As the story progresses they are forced to deal with her past relationship issues, the press and the fallout from both. Romi Hart has built a number of different worlds for her readers to play in and I have a hard time picking a favorite.

==========
Addiction 5.0 out of 5 stars
==========
Another one to put on you sports romance book shelf to read again and again.

Kylie, a graphic designer, met Jordan, a professional soccer player, through her best friend Reesa. Their story unfolds slowly but blows up spectacularly when secrets come to light. As with Temptation, there is plenty of steam and unfortunate heartache for the couple. I am looking forward to the next book from Romi Hart in this series. She writes to draw the reader in, creating relatable characters that deal with realistic issues and delivering a happily ever after

==========
Passion 5.0 out of 5 stars
==========
There is no doubting the passion here.

Krys, a single mom, met Dex, a professional soccer player, at a Sounders scrimmage game. As the story progresses sparks fly on more than one front, feelings are hurt, and relationships strained. However, Romi Hart found a way to make everything right in the world that leaves the reader on the edge o their seat for the entire ride. There is no doubting the passion shared between Dex and Krys in this book. Much like previous books in the series, Passion is a lovely walk in a realistic dream. I can't wait to see what Ms. Hart does next.

I received a free copy of the novel from the author. I had the opportunity to review or not.

A really fun romance series with lots of heat. 💞💓💞

This series is made up of three books: Temptation, Addiction, and Passion.

Here is my review for Temptation:
I enjoyed this sports romance with Reesa and Marc. It's one of those books that has lots of twists and turns and will keep you reading until the very end. It's very well developed and the characters are easy to relate to. This isn't one of those perfect worlds... Reesa is a damaged soul and is finding it really hard to trust Marc. It's always interesting to read how someone heals from life events and how they find love again. 💕💓💕

Here is my review for Addiction:
Kylie meets Jordan through her friend, Reesa and her boyfriend Marcus. Jordan has been best friends with Marcus for years and they play on the same soccer team. It's a different storyline, where Kylie and Jordan agree to basically be friends with benefits but are exclusive to each other. Jordan just has one rule and that's they don't develop feelings for each other and want a "relationship". Unfortunately for both of them, they both break that rule. And that's where they have trouble. 💕💓😢💕

This is the second book in the Tempting Alphas series and probably could be read as a standalone but it's better if you read it in the order it was written. 😉

And here is my review for Passion:

I really enjoyed this series! 💜

This book is the third in the Tempting Alphas series and although they all overlap a bit, it would be easy to read them as a stand alone. In this one, Kyrs has been celibate since she decided to have a child on her own, nine years ago. She's always just thought there was something wrong with her since she has the absolute worst luck with men. That is until she meets Dex. The heat between these two is overwhelming for both of them and Dex finally convinces her to give in for the evening. 💞💗💞

I received a free copy of these books via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving a review

This is a well written steamy box set which had me intrigued and captivated throughout this addictive page turner.
#1 Temptation
Reesa has a past which has made her wary of trusting any man. Marcus is a professional soccer player, who is a playboy, but he is determined to prove that he is the man for Reesa. This is a well written, fast paced story, with complex characters, and a descriptive plot, and is action packed, with drama, emotion, and love.
#2 Addiction
This is Kylie and Jordan’s story. Kylie is a graphic designer, and Jordan is a profession soccer player, and when these two meet on a night out, the chemistry is intense. Will Jordan stick to his no relationship rule? This is a well written flawless story which is steamy, emotional, heartbreaking, and will secrets which all lead to an addictive and engaging age turner.
#3 Passion
This is the 3rd book in this awesome series, and is Krys and Dex’s story. Krys is a single mom to her daughter, and has moved closer to her ex Jordan for her daughter’s sake. Dex is a professional soccer player, and a teammate of Jordan’s. Dex is the typical playboy and womanizer, and when he meets Krys the sparks fly.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author, and I highly recommend for all readers.

My review is based on Books 2 and 3.
5 stars!

Addiction
You can always count on Romi Hart to deliver a romance with "heart". Addiction is the story of Jordan and Kylie. What starts out as a friends-with-benefits relationship quickly becomes more. There is plenty of steamy sex, a twist in the plot (that you won't see coming) and the HEA. The only reason I didn't give this 5 stars? I wanted more...more character involvement in the story, their day to day interactions outside the bedroom, more conversations, etc. But as a short story, Romi Hart delivers a superb romance. 4 1/2 STARS

Passion
Passion by Romi Hart is an entertaining book that surprised me. I expected a book solely about sexual chemistry but it was so much more than that. It is a short read that spotlights the difficulties often encountered when new relationships are introduced into family dynamics. Although Krys and Jordan share a daughter, Jordan is engaged to be married to Kylie. However, when Krys begins dating Dex, the balance of emotional stability is altered and jealousy and uncertainty surface. In this novella, Romi Hart makes you feel all the emotions that the characters display. That is the mark of a true writer and she delivers in spades. This is a steamy romance but does not cross into graphic sex. It delivers the HEA, and is a book I will enjoy reading again in the future. 5 STARS

TEMPTATION
This is book one in the Bad Boy Sports Romance series and it features Reesa and Marcus. She’s been through some drama and abuse with her ex-husband and trying not to push all that mistrust onto Marcus is EXTREMELY difficult for her. There was a point where I couldn’t understand why he still wanted to be with her. Even though the sex was sizzling, there’s a point when there’s too much of it. Every now and then I like my imagination to finish working out some of the scenes.

ADDICTION
This is book two in the Bad Boy Sports Romance series and it features Kylie and Jordan. Kylie is a cool character and everything is moving along smoothly and then…BAM! Unexpectedly the green eyed monster reared it’s ugly head. It was so out of the blue I was shocked! I’m surprised he stayed with her after that fiasco.There is a major plot twist in this story that was so totally unexpected. SIZZLING!

PASSION
This is book 3 in the series and it features Dex and Krys. To start with, her situation with Jordan is a little strange to say the least. Dex is a good man and he’s good for Krys. I absolutely HATED Jordan’s reaction and behavior towards her. It was appalling! Krys’ reasoning was on point! Super HOT!

I have read these books individually so will post my review for each book below. This is a great value boxed set you are getting three for the price of one and as always you get a nice fast racy read from Romi Hart.

TEMPTATION
Marcus was the perfect hero he is everything an alpha male should be without been a douchebag. Reesa got on my nerves a bit but she did grow on me I was really glad when she was called out by Marcus when she bad mouthed him in the bar All together a great fun read.

ADDICTION
They may have been hot together in bed but neither Kylie or Jordan wanted to commit Only problem they are starting to fall for one another Will they have a chance a at a HEA

PAssion

They may want a future together but will her ex destroy their relationship or will Kris & DEx get the HEA that they deserve

These stories all have an underlying thread t one another so it is great to be able to read them as a set

Aaahhhh, those beautiful men of soccer. Let's face it, there just aren't any men on that soccer field that aren't built like Adonis. This anthology features three such gorgeously-gifted sexy players who are also kind, protective, fiercely loyal, and totally devoted to the women they love. *swoon* Each of these stories can act as a stand-alone, but are nicely interwoven with connecting characters to make them even more enjoyable.

The reader will find steamy chemistry, great plots, and dynamic characters. But you won't find any cliffhangers here. These are complete stories with no additional books to buy. Great romance at a great price. Awesome.

I so enjoyed this box set. I have read each of these stories alone and when you get the chance to read them back to back it makes the whole series that much more enjoyable. Romi really knows how to set up some amazing storyline. I highly recommend this box set and anything else she has to offer. They will not disappoint you. I give it 5 stars.

Hot soccer players finding love

Three hot soccer players finding love!! I loved how each book follows Marc and Reesa, Jordan and Kylie, and finally Dex and Krys. Even though each story is independent of each other they build and give you a chance to follow up the characters from the previous books. Three amazing love stories with ups and downs. A great series I loved reading!

This is a very good, well-written collection of Sports Romance reads. The characters, situations, and world-building are detailed and realistic with steam and drama. The reader becomes part of the stories, engaged and entertained. I liked these books. I voluntarily read an ARC and this is my honest review.

This box set is a trio of sports romances with characters who are connected via friendships and soccer. I thought these were steamy romances featuring people who knew what they wanted and pursued that desire and attraction wholeheartedly. The stories were novella-length reads, but they gave just enough story line to give us three good insta-lust to insta-love reads.

This was an awesome 3 book box set from Romi Hart that I absolutely enjoyed reading. Each book is about 3 playboy soccer players and the independent women they love. Reesa & Marcus, Kylie & Jordan, and Krys & Dexter are couples with emotional stories, passion, and love between them. This is a must read that readers will fall in love.

Not for me.

I tried. I started and stopped repeatedly on book 1. I powered through book 2 and by to stop and start on book 3. No the books aren't bad or poorly written. They just couldn't hold my interest. Sorry to say this author and I are a mismatched couple...
