Box Set rating: 3.5 stars -- I really enjoy Ms. Pearl's Songbird novels, though I have yet to read them all. But I've read all 3 of these, and they bring some great romance with intriguing and unique characters (who make mistakes, but are all inherently likable), and interesting challenges. I love that each story is SOOOOO different, but they all bring fantastic humour and a lot of feels. The box set is kind of up and down, with True Love and Rough Water being more weighted in the epic feels sid ...more

I've only read 2 of the 3 books so far, but I've enjoyed them. Below are my reviews of the 2 books I have read.

Troublemaker review:
This is my first book in the Song Bird series and I liked it. I'm not a fan of love triangles which is why I kind of avoided the earlier books, but when the author offered this one as an ARC, I figured why not. I like other books from the author, I just wasn't in the mood to read another love triangle. This is not one of those, but I have to say, that by the time I f I've only read 2 of the 3 books so far, but I've enjoyed them. Below are my reviews of the 2 books I have read.

Troublemaker review:
This is my first book in the Song Bird series and I liked it. I'm not a fan of love triangles which is why I kind of avoided the earlier books, but when the author offered this one as an ARC, I figured why not. I like other books from the author, I just wasn't in the mood to read another love triangle. This is not one of those, but I have to say, that by the time I finished this, I felt more sympathy for the plight of nice guys everywhere. Marcus was one of those nice guys who spent the tail end of his high school years in love with the most unattainable girl. He went out of his way to get her to take real notice of him. Sure, she knew who he was, and that was someone completely out of her league. Fast forward five years and Kelly re-enters Marcus' life. Hired as a personal assistant to him and another talent manager, he figures now is his chance to show her that he is and isn't the same guy. On the one hand, kudos for being persistent. On the other? The man puts himself through so much to get the girl. And she was just so damn shallow that I struggled to understand why any man would bare that much of his soul for someone who was stuck on looks and prestige. It wasn't until much further in the book that you realize how much influence her parents had on some of those decisions, but it wasn't all on them. She finally had to realize that she is her own person and that her choices are hers and hers alone.

Although to be fair, Marcus kind of brought it on himself too. Part of me wondered why someone would put themselves through all the rejection for someone they thought they knew. I really liked Marcus. At times he came across a little mushy, but very genuine. Kelly was interesting. I didn't like how she treated Marcus, but as the story progressed, I came to realize that she could definitely be worse than what she was and she definitely had her soft spots when it came to her friends.

Overall, a good story even if I think in reality, odds of this actually happening would be rare. It takes a lot for someone to bend as much as these two have (both in their own way).

Rough Water review:
This is going to be a hard review for me to write. I struggled with Justin for most of the book. Perhaps because I could not relate.

Others are going to hate this review and that's ok. The author wants my honest opinion, and this is it. I loved Sarah which is how I actually finished the book. If I did not like her, it would have been hard to read. First, it is sad and very emotional. I got that. Overall, I ended up liking this book because of the things that made it emotional, but it took up until the end to get me back to seeing the good guy Justin is. I don't think he deserved anything that happened to him, but I also think everyone is responsible for their actions in reaction to bad situations and his just wasn't what I would have expected. Although I guess you wouldn't have a book without the conflict. ...more

LOVE these books. After only having 'discovered' Melissa Pearl a short while ago, I have found myself absolutely devouring the Songbirds series. These three, just like the other six (plus a few novellas) are rapturous. They swaddle you with emotion, will make you laugh and cry and cheer and scream. So beautifully written, with glorious and surprising plots that don't feel stale.

I love Melissa Pearl's story! So this box set is perfect to enjoy a little of the wonders she writes.
These stories are beautiful and very well written, and all the characters are fantastic!
I highly recommend it!
I loved all of them!

Troublemaker (Songbird #6)
I loved this story, especially Marcus, he's a guy so sweet, funny and lovely, he goes all out to cheer people around him, sometimes forgetting his own happiness. Kelly is really a troublemaker, and in some parts I came to hate her for everyth ...more

Melissa Pearls Songbird Box Set is full of Beautiful Love Stories that will pull at all our heartstrings.

I enjoyed reading each and everyone of them. I love the emotional roller-coaster ride I went through with each book and was on book hangover after reading the boxset. I didn't want to leave the Songbird World I was happily sacked into.

****I received this author copy in exchange for an honest Review.****
