Read a few years back and just updating my files...
I enjoyed the books 📚 in this set: MAID 🧹 FOR LOVE 💘:I love Marie Force books so I had to read this series. This 1st book's story line is really good. I didn't like Mac's mother. I loved Mac's character. I really liked how Mac stood up for Maddie. I felt sorry for Maddie. I thought Thomas was so adorable. FOOL FOR LOVE 💘: This 2nd book's story line was okay. i liked the hot & steamy scenes. I felt sorry for Janey. I liked how Janey stood up for herself. I liked how Joe stood up for Janey. I didn

Typically when I review books in a series, I’ll write each one a separate review even if they come in a bundle. But these three are so intertwined, that I’m wrapping them together.
I’ve read quite a few interlocking romances, but this may be one of the best executed that I’ve read. Too often with series, secondary and tertiary characters are thrown in loosely. You’ll read a rehash of their story in clunky terms or they’ll show up in a scene for no reason. Not here – each character is skillfully ...more

Great!
What a wonderful opportunity to read three books that make you feel like a part of the Gansett Island locals. The islanders are warm, rich characters with good hearts and real life imperfections that make reading these romantic stories a true pleasure.
Her each of the three Gansett Island sets and snuggle in to enjoy!

Loved!
Loved reading the first 3 books involving 3 couples who you are in each other's individual story.
Book 1 is about Maddie an Mac; the girl from the other side of town and the town's golden boy. When Mac accidentally knocks Maddie off of her bicycle on her way to work, he insists on staying and taking care of her and her baby until she's back on her feet again. In the process, Mac finds out out rumors in town destroyed her young life and plans to set her reputation straight. In the midst of a ...more

I liked
Writing was good, characters were believable and relatable and the stories kept my attention. I would recommend this series to someone who likes to keep the story going.

LOVED this series of books!!!
I really really liked it
The heroes are standard. The females are a little more detailed and complex. The plots are where it fell down. I love a guy goes gaga story and the guys are the ones who fall first and fullest in every story. I liked Mac's the best because the screen door scene is one that I could feel. I ached for him. It was lovely. But Joe's and Luke's stories are good too. The plot problem is the climaxes are over dumb stuff. Easily resolved dumb stuff and I hope if I ever have to end ...more

When I started this set of stories, I realized I'd already read the first book. Since II gave it a five star rating, I decided to read it again. Good decision! I enjoyed it all over again. Then
I read the second book which was even better. Lots of action in that book. The third book was much calmer but still fun. Overall a magnificent set. Worth the time. ...more

Great Series, actually just re reading and still love it.
Gansett Island Series box set by Marie Force were three great stories of family, friendships and finding your forever love and home. In the first book Maid for Love we meet Mac McCarthy who has come home for a visit to help his father and get out as soon as possible. Maddie Chester is a single mom who happens to get injured by the one and only Mac McCarthy and this is where the story gets real fun and entertaining.
In book two Fool for Love we meet Joe and Janey. Janey McCarthy is the youngest of ...more

Head already read the first book (Maid for Love) in this box set. Really liked the second book’s hero Fool for Love. The third book Ready for Love was a good second chance at romance story Not sure I will seek out the fourth book, as the hero (introduced in the third book) comes across as a real jerk.

Interesting....
I chose this rating because it would not appeal to some people because of the explicit sex. I was not aware of it either until I started reading it. However, I feel it was part of the story & the circumstances of the characters kept me reading. I think the story could have been told very well without the explicit descriptions of the sex acts. With that being said, I did order & am reading book #4 & enjoying it, again sometimes skipping the descriptive sex parts to go on with the b ...more

The first book, for me, was the best. Although I liked the way other characters were being introduced in the second book, by the third I was actually picking out who'd be the subject of later installments!
I also found the increasing amount of panting was actually detracting from the stories. By the third book it was almost like the actual story was just a filler for the various sex scenes.

Love is in the air
Each of these stories have brought three couples loads of happiness. Starting with Mac & Maddie & little Thomas. He walks into her riding her back and she gets banged up. But I think little Thomas sink the deal, Max fell in love with that little boy. Mac's friend Joe has been in love with Janey, Mac's little sister forever but she's engaged to someone else until the guys cheats. Then there is Sydney & Luke, a second chance at first love.

Excellent!
I chose this rating because this was a really, really good set of books. I enjoyed all the characters. This was a set of books full love, laughter, and togetherness. I was I awe of each book. Gansett Island is the place to be. 😉 The people there was always there for each other. There was also a lot of love and loving going on. Great read, I recommend this book to all romance readers.

So I realised after starting this that I had already read books 1 & 2 so not sure why I bought this as a boxset. Saying that I re-read them both and loved them both as much as first time around. These definitely have re-read value and I can see myself coming back again and again to this series. Book 3 was a great addition to the series and one I enjoyed just as much as the first two. A definite winner.
Wow!!
I just finished the foxed set in the series, and I have to say I absolutely loved the books. Marie Force is an astonishing storyteller, I could not but this series down. I like he way the characters stories continue to unfold from book to book. I can’t wait to start the next box set.AWESOME !!!!

Great beginning for wonderful series
Love this series! Liked how past characters and story lines are continued in each book. Some series leave you hanging about loved characters. I love how the storylines are so real and timely. I had started on # 10 so I had to begin again with life on Gansett Island and was so happy I did. Enjoy!

All 3 books were quite enjoyable. Well developed characters without unnecessary drama.
Book 1 was the most unrealistic (1- her injury wasn’t severe, 2- who would let a stranger in their home to care for their child??) , but if you roll with I, the story is very good.
Book 2 & 3 both address unrequited love. One is brothers best friend, the other a second chance story. Both are very good.

Love it so much I'm already on the next set. Love the idea that it's small town (island small) and in New England. Also love the family - wish I had brothers and parents like this! Only check - Orion as a constellation cannot be seen in the summer in New England. He's a winter constellation for us! ...more
