1. The Real Thing: The Mackenzies book 1
4 Stars
I purchased a copy of the Wellington, New Zealand set steamy novel The Real Thing: The Mackenzies book 1: Guy and Lucia by Diana Fraser and this review was given freely.
An instant attraction romance with vivid descriptions is intertwined with an art forgery scheme involving the Chinese mob.
This first volume does introduce the three Mackenzie brothers in that we learn all their names at the end of the book but the featured plot only involves Dallas Mackenzie and only in the form of a not so subtle matchmaker for his ex-girlfriend, City Art Gallery art restorer Lucia, and his best friend, world traveling lawyer and grieving widower Guy Martin.
2. Book 2: The PA’s Revenge (Mackenzies #2)
4 Stars
I purchased a copy of the Wellington, New Zealand set steamy novel The PA’s Revenge: The Mackenzies book 2: Dallas and Cassandra by Diana Fraser and this review was given freely.
A steamy office romance built on a foundation of revenge, attraction, misunderstandings, secrets, and a vow of no commitments shows the tender and caring side of perpetually single business entrepreneur Dallas Mackenzie.
American Cassandra Lee moves to New Zealand to destroy the man responsible for the death of her father and son only to find herself conflicted by her intense attraction to him and his contradictory character.
3. Book 3:The Marriage Trap (Mackenzies #3)
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the Wellington, New Zealand set steamy novel The Marriage Trap: The Mackenzies book 3: Callum and Gemma by Diana Fraser and this review was given freely.
Poignant with moments of steam, action and suspense this is a second chance at love story which combines a highly critical mother, strong diverse female characters, the Alpha MacKenzie bothers, some secrets and an obsessive ex.
Gemma Winters leaves London, England to escape an abusive relationship only to find herself conflicted, in New Zealand, nearly drowned, and trapped in a remote shepherd’s hut with the forceful but emotionally reserved widower, Callum Mackenzie.

This grouping of the first three stories are wonderful. The first one introduces you to Dallas but brings his ex Lucia together with his friend Guy. It's a lovely story. The second deals with Dallas & Cassandra. His father ruined hers and she lost both her dad & son in one day. She was seeking revenge into a gentleman explains what happened. And the third is Callum & Gemma. She fled from a bad relationship in London with help of a friend and saved by him.

The Mackenzies (book1-3)
All three stories were entertaining and enjoyable. Each brother had a different issue, mostly either chasing or avoiding the women in their life. You will enjoy these stories.
