This is an amazing box set which is about a small town and 4-brothers, and the woman who change their lives around.
#1 Fleeting
This is Keaton and Presley’s story. Since their father passed Keaton has been the backbone in the family who everyone looks at for help and support, and Presley could not have been more opposite, as she has a commitment phobia, and runs when the going gets tough. Can she teach Keaton to be more laid back, and will he convince her to settle for them?
#2 Forgiving
This is the second book in this amazing series and is Lily and Bowen’s story. These two were soulmates, but due to a tragic accident, they have avoided each other for 10 years. Now with Lily’s best friend marrying Bowen’s brother, they are brought into each other’s company more, but will Bowen tell Lily what he is hiding from her? No spoilers: this is one of those stories which is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed! This is a beautifully written story which is filled with secrets, lies, betrayal and is a heartbreaking and emotional roller coaster ride from beginning to end.
#3 Flutter
This is the 3rd book in this phenomenal series and is Forrest and Penelope’s turn. Forrest comes across as the cocky, sarcastic bother, but underneath he feels deeply for the ones close to him. Penelope is a widow and single mom, who is sassy and feisty, and Forrest has had a crush on her since school days, despite being 6 years younger. Can he convince her to take a chance on them moving on from them being frenemies?

I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner.
#4 Falter
This is the 4th book in this phenomenal series and is Fletcher and Ryan’s story. Fletcher is a reformed bad boy who has his demons which he has worked hard to overcome, but still his family worry about him. Ryan has sworn off men after continually making the wrong choices and moves into town to stay with her best friend to take stock of her life and think about what her next move will be going forward. The last thing either of these characters wants is a relationship, but love can creep up and bite in the most unexpected ways. This is another beautifully written story from this gifted author, and I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner, and I highly recommend for all readers.

Fleeting - Keaton Nash has had to be the backbone of his family since the day his father died. He is the one who everyone looks to for help and support. But when Keaton has a chance encounter with Presley, the girl who never makes a commitment and runs away when the going gets tough. Can opposites attract? Can Presley teach Keaton how to become more laid back and can Keaton show Presley that not all commitments are bad? Love, Love, Loved this story - it put a smile on my face and happiness in my heart. I cannot wait for more in this series.
Forgiven - In one second a car crash ended not only Bowen Nash's baseball career, but it also ended his relationship with his soulmate. After ten years, Lily still has no answers as to why Bowen walked out of her life. When the two are brought together the sparks are still there but once again Bowen will not open up. Faced with an ultimatum the deception and lies from the past turn into the answers that Bowen tried to save Lily from. Will the answers finally break her apart? Or will the baggage from the past finally be set free? I fell in love with these characters from the opening pages and with each chapter the need for a HEA got stronger and stronger. With wonderful characters and a heart wrenching storyline this is an awesome book. I cannot wait for more in this series!!
Flutter - Being a widow and a single mom has left Penelope in dire need of scratching an itch. Although Forrest is younger than her, intelligent and gorgeous his cocky attitude is always in his way. But while drunk at the wedding of his brother and her best friend the two decide to scratch the itch. What instantly turns into a friends with benefits scenario will only work until emotions get involved. Can the two work through their differences and see what everyone else around them already see? Or will benefits tire themselves out as a dying flame? I absolutely loved these characters. Not only were their emotions honest and true but the storyline was written in such a way that the reader could not help but want a HEA. I cannot wait to see where Carrie Aarons takes the last Nash brother in the mix.
Falter - With five years of sobriety under his belt, Fletcher has promised himself not to fall in love until it is the real thing. Running away from yet another failed relationship Ryan finds herself living in the guest house of her best friend - who just happens to be married to Fletcher's brother. The two are an unlikely pair who fight their attraction. But the more time they spend together the more feelings change from just friends to possibly the one they had always been looking for. Will Fletcher feel his sobriety is in jeopardy while falling in love? Or will Ryan once again run away when uncomfortable feelings arise? I am so sorry to see this series end. With each Nash brother Carrie Aarons has taken her readers on emotional journeys that they will not soon forget. Dealing with a substance abuse is not always easy to write or to read about but she does it with such class and honesty that is turned into a heartwarming story.

Fleeting – When Presley’s grandmother’s health started to decline, she moved from NY back to her hometown to manage her business. Keaton has taken over his father’s veterinary clinic and his roots are firmly planted in Fawn Hill. The only thing these two have in common is their attraction to each other with a little help from the townspeople they may just realize that in each other they have found what they have always been looking for.
Forgiven - Ten years ago, Lily was in love with Nash, her high school sweetheart, until an accident changed everything, and they have avoided each other ever since. After Nash’s dreams were crushed, he created a new life for himself, but he has never stopped loving the woman whose heart he broke. Now that his brother is with her best friend will this finally be their chance to work through the secrets between them and have a second chance or is the pain of the past too much to overcome?
Flutter – After her husband passed away Penelope focused on her three children and doesn’t have the time or energy for men or relationships. Forrest has been in love with her for years but because she is six years older than him she has never seen him as a man. All it takes is one night with Penelope to realize that she is all he has ever wanted and now he just needs to convince her.
Falter - Since she was a girl Ryan’s painful past has left her yearning for one thing and that is to be loved for who she truly is which has only resulted in heartbreak. Fletcher has a painful past as well and he has spent the last five years structuring his life, so he doesn’t return to his addictive behavior. In their heads they know they should keep their distance, but their hearts aren’t listening. They see each other for who they are, faults and all, but will they heal each other or destroy each other in process?
It is great to have the series in one collection.

Arghhhh I want a Nash brother i just can't decide which one! What a great series. I laughed, I swooned, I cried, I cursed. This series was full of love, heartbreak, sass and sauce. The brothers were a great bunch as were their leading ladies. Some stories I enjoyed more than others but I really did enjoy them all. I loved the extended Christmas epilogue. It was great to see where they all were so many years down the line. I have wanted to read this series for so long now I'm glad its all together in one box set. It was a great way to relax and forget the everyday stresses of life atm.
December 18, 2020
This box set has it all!! It's my first read with the Nash Brothers and I devoured this set. It's a small town with great characters that gives you all the feels with laughter and tears and swoon worthy romance. I loved every single book and cannot recommend the Nash Brothers box set more!

🔹FLEETING
Fleeting is the first book in the Nash Brothers series by Carrie Aarons. I have been following Carrie’s words for years now and I know if I open one of her books I am going to fall in love. And I did just that once again.
Keaton Nash is a small town veterinarian. Presley is a city wanderer. He takes care of his family. She is the black sheep of hers. He loved math in high school. She enjoyed ditching school to make dreamcatchers. He had plans. She had yoga pants.
Keaton did not expect her. Of course he knew there was a new woman in town. A granddaughter who was helping Hattie, the owner of the bookstore slash post office but he was not expecting her. A beautiful redhead who made him laugh at first word. One who made him fumble. He did not fumble. Ever. He hasn’t dated anyone in two years and was doing just fine. Until now. He had to ask her out even if he made a mess of things. There was just something about her that made him want to toss his predictable ways.
Presley was so embarrassed. Her grandma could have warned her the town Vet was this hot. He was also adorable. The way he had finally asked her out days later was the cutest thing ever. But, he deserved more. She wasn’t even sure if she was going to be staying in town. He seemed like the kind of man who wanted a wife at home, two point five children, and a picket fence. She was not that girl. She was the complete opposite of that girl. He had a tight knit family while hers was anything but. Then something happened between them...
Now, I can’t tell you exactly what but I can say it was sweet, smooth, and a start to something. I will say that I loved them. Keaton really is freaking adorable and confident at the same time. He also has other sides to him that only Presley could get him to show. And Presley, she is more than she believes. She is a flight or fight kind of girl. She has to decide where she belongs. In a small town or a big city.
Overall...it’s a sweet, sexy, and adorable story full of love, family, animals, yoga, and bad decisions. The best kind. I can’t wait for the next book! There is a sneak peak at the end of the book. If you follow my reviews you know I don’t read the synopsis if I have read the author’s work so I didn’t go there but I know it’s going to be an emotional ride.
Quotes:
“I’m a vet in small-town Pennsylvania. If I walked around here asking everyone to call me Dr. Nash, they’d think I was a stuck-up prick.”
“I won’t tell you how many times I’ve had to loosen my belt on the afternoons I eat there.” And now I’m telling her about unbuckling my pants. Great. I have absolutely zero game.
“Your body … it was made for me to touch.”
🔹FORGIVEN
Forgiven is the second book in the Nash Brothers series by the very talented, Carrie Aarons. It can be read as standalone but I do recommend reading Fleeting so you can get to know the brothers even more. Bowen Nash didn’t say much in Fleeting but he captured my heart so I knew his story was going to be an emotional ride.
Ten years. He has been avoiding his high school sweetheart for ten years. Every time he saw her, it was torture. He wanted to reach out to her. Touch her. Kiss her. Love her. But he couldn’t. He had to walk away after their accident. The one that almost killed her and did kill his baseball career. He has coped with the fact that he lost his chances at the major leagues but he could never forgive himself for that night. He moved on with his life in everything else except when it came to love. He had a successful business, owned a home, had his family. But, she was the only one he has ever loved. Maybe ever will. Is it time to stop avoiding her? Ten years was a long time to hold it all in.
Lily never had closure. They were in love one minute and the next he was gone. Literally. He left town. She didn’t understand the looks he gave her when she did happen to see him around town. Why did he seem to hate her so much? She couldn’t stand it. She didn’t know how much more she could take. His brother was now with her best friend. They had to be around each other. The tension was thick. Every one in town felt it. And they were waiting for it to explode. Who will break first?
I absolutely LOVED this book! I love Keaton Nash, I really do but Bowen has stolen my heart! He might have been a cocky teenager but he was also a swoon-worthy one even back then. And now he is all man. And Lily! Oh...Lily. Watching her go through some shit made me want to give her a high five and a hug. She is stronger than she thinks. Together, I loved these two! They have their obstacles and it’s beautiful to watch them jump through them.
Overall...I am so in love with this series. I. Can. Not. Wait for the next book! I have a feeling I know who is up next and hot damn, it’s going to be hot. Oh, this one was too by the way. Along with sweet and funny.
Quotes:
“I’ll say it for the thousandth time, but I hope you hear me. I don’t know what it is I did to make you hate me so much, but I’m sorry.”
The night of the crash haunts me in my dreams. It plagues my every waking moment and mocks the future I once had.
“I may not have stepped foot in here in ages, but I’ve had many fantasies about getting you between these stacks. There is something so naughty about making out in a library.”
🔹FLUTTER
Flutter is the third book in the Nash Brothers series by the ever-talented, Carrie Aarons. You can read it as a standalone but I highly recommend reading the series. I have fallen for each brother for different reasons. Their personalities are all different from one another but they are all protective and love with their whole hearts. If you read the previous books you have read about Penelope, Forrest, and their epic banter. Oh...I was excited for this one. And it starts out with a bang.
Forrest and Penelope can’t be in the same room without pissing the other off. But as of late, they also can’t keep their hands off each other in private. She doesn’t know if she wants to slap him or rip his clothes off when he walks into the room with his Cody swagger. Especially when he wears his glasses. He is definitely geeky hot! She is a single widow of three. He doesn’t want a wife, kids, and a picket fence. She is too busy too date but he gives he exactly what she needs to relax. Orgasms! Lots and lots of orgasms so why not have a no-strings attached relationship? Nobody would expect it. He is six years her junior. Their banter is full of hate. What could go wrong?
Everything! And I loved it all. Forrest is an introvert. He doesn’t have a filter. She doesn’t either and they are both dirty birds. But for real. I love watching Forrest open up when he is around Penelope. His family underestimated him and the town as well. He isn’t just a cocky asshole who only cares for himself. He is a twenty-something with heart. He even shocks himself when it comes to Penelope and her kids. I loved that. And I love Penelope for being a strong woman who is raising her kids, working her ass off, and doing the best she can. Together, their passion is explosive. Their banter is flirty, fun, and sarcastic.
Overall...it’s my favorite of the series! There was just something about this couple that got me. It was more emotional then I thought it would be. I fell hard. That’s for sure. The writing is amazing along with the story and characters. I can’t wait for the next book. It’s taunting me on my iPad but I can’t get to it just yet.
P.S. It was nice to see the name Marion is a book. That was my Grandma’s name.
Quotes:
“In your dreams, Little Nash.” I throw out the insulting nickname and walk off without a backward glance.
“You’re right. I do dream about it, P. A lot.”
“Penelope, come on. Don’t overreact. It wasn’t personal.”
“Nothing is to you, Forrest,” she fires back.
“Oh, I’ll work you out good. You haven’t been to the gym of Forrest in weeks, and I have a lot of new moves to show you.”
“God, you’re cheesy. But show me the moves.” I tingle everywhere with anticipation.
🔹FALTER
Falter is the fourth and final book in the Nash Brothers series by one of my favorite authors, Carrie Aarons. I have loved every book in this series and this one is no different. Thank you, Carrie for not making me wait long for this book after Flutter. I was slowly falling for Fletcher with each book especially in Flutter that I couldn’t wait to completely fall in Falter. Damn. Did I ever.
Fletcher knew she was trouble. Ryan knew just he was too. They sensed it the first time they met years ago. That was exactly why when she was in town over a few weekends here and there they stayed away. But now...there was nowhere to run. Ryan needed to refresh her batteries after a bad breakup and a loss of career passion. Fawn Hill where her best friend found her passion, love, family, and friends was her best shot before she moved on to bigger places. It was just a pit stop. That’s what she thought anyway.
Fletcher has been sober for five years. And it’s been just as long since he has been with a woman. He didn’t date to date. He didn’t want to go down that path until he knew he found the girl he wanted to be with forever. He didn’t know if he could handle a broken heart. What he did know was if it was going to be anyone it was going to be Ryan Shea. They have been tip-toeing around their attraction for years and now she was here. At least for the summer. He knew he shouldn’t go there. She told him she has sworn off men and he told her he wasn’t the casual type. Not anymore. But what happens when the attraction is so great and they truly see the other when others don’t?
This book! This is what happens! My God...it is so good! I have been waiting for these two to get their heads out of their asses as the Nash Brothers would say for as long as they met. The build up is epic. Their story is explosive. I loved it all. The demons and all because without those they would be them.
Overall...Amazing! All of it. The characters. The story. The passion. The demons. The family. The love. The friendships. Loved it all. I hope to see them all again. Maybe a little YA with the youngsters. Hey! It could happen.
P.S. Carrie — That last line? Damn.
Quotes:
“Now, let me sleep. I’m an old woman, and if this isn’t a booty call, talking to anyone this late isn’t worth losing beauty rest.”
“This place really is something right out of Gilmore Girls,” I tell her, sipping my lemonade the minute it’s set down on the table.
“I’ve fantasized about you.”
He cocks an eyebrow. “I’d like to hear all of those, in vivid detail. But for now, I want to live up to them.”
🎄A VERY NASH CHRISTMAS
This was fantastic! I love seeing couples in the future and this gave me four. It’s set ten years later with the Nash’s sharing a cabin for Christmas. Each brother gets their own chapter about careers, love, and family. It’s a fun treat!

Bowen Nash didn’t say much in Fleeting but he captured my heart so I knew his story was going to be an emotional ride.
Ten years. He has been avoiding his high school sweetheart for ten years. Every time he saw her, it was torture. He wanted to reach out to her. Touch her. Kiss her. Love her. But he couldn’t. He had to walk away after their accident. The one that almost killed her and did kill his baseball career. He has coped with the fact that he lost his chances at the major leagues but he could never forgive himself for that night. He moved on with his life in everything else except when it came to love. He had a successful business, owned a home, had his family. But, she was the only one he has ever loved. Maybe ever will. Is it time to stop avoiding her? Ten years was a long time to hold it all in.
Lily never had closure. They were in love one minute and the next he was gone. Literally. He left town. She didn’t understand the looks he gave her when she did happen to see him around town. Why did he seem to hate her so much? She couldn’t stand it. She didn’t know how much more she could take. His brother was now with her best friend. They had to be around each other. The tension was thick. Every one in town felt it. And they were waiting for it to explode. Who will break first?
I absolutely LOVED this book! I love Keaton Nash, I really do but Bowen has stolen my heart! He might have been a cocky teenager but he was also a swoon-worthy one even back then. And now he is all man. And Lily! Oh...Lily. Watching her go through some shit made me want to give her a high five and a hug. She is stronger than she thinks. Together, I loved these two! They have their obstacles and it’s beautiful to watch them jump through them.
Overall...I am so in love with this series. I. Can. Not. Wait for the next book! I have a feeling I know who is up next and hot damn, it’s going to be hot. Oh, this one was too by the way. Along with sweet and funny.
Quotes:
“I’ll say it for the thousandth time, but I hope you hear me. I don’t know what it is I did to make you hate me so much, but I’m sorry.”
The night of the crash haunts me in my dreams. It plagues my every waking moment and mocks the future I once had.
“I may not have stepped foot in here in ages, but I’ve had many fantasies about getting you between these stacks. There is something so naughty about making out in a library.”
🔹FLUTTER
Flutter is the third book in the Nash Brothers series by the ever-talented, Carrie Aarons. You can read it as a standalone but I highly recommend reading the series. I have fallen for each brother for different reasons. Their personalities are all different from one another but they are all protective and love with their whole hearts. If you read the previous books you have read about Penelope, Forrest, and their epic banter. Oh...I was excited for this one. And it starts out with a bang.
Forrest and Penelope can’t be in the same room without pissing the other off. But as of late, they also can’t keep their hands off each other in private. She doesn’t know if she wants to slap him or rip his clothes off when he walks into the room with his Cody swagger. Especially when he wears his glasses. He is definitely geeky hot! She is a single widow of three. He doesn’t want a wife, kids, and a picket fence. She is too busy too date but he gives he exactly what she needs to relax. Orgasms! Lots and lots of orgasms so why not have a no-strings attached relationship? Nobody would expect it. He is six years her junior. Their banter is full of hate. What could go wrong?
Everything! And I loved it all. Forrest is an introvert. He doesn’t have a filter. She doesn’t either and they are both dirty birds. But for real. I love watching Forrest open up when he is around Penelope. His family underestimated him and the town as well. He isn’t just a cocky asshole who only cares for himself. He is a twenty-something with heart. He even shocks himself when it comes to Penelope and her kids. I loved that. And I love Penelope for being a strong woman who is raising her kids, working her ass off, and doing the best she can. Together, their passion is explosive. Their banter is flirty, fun, and sarcastic.
Overall...it’s my favorite of the series! There was just something about this couple that got me. It was more emotional then I thought it would be. I fell hard. That’s for sure. The writing is amazing along with the story and characters. I can’t wait for the next book. It’s taunting me on my iPad but I can’t get to it just yet.
P.S. It was nice to see the name Marion is a book. That was my Grandma’s name.
Quotes:
“In your dreams, Little Nash.” I throw out the insulting nickname and walk off without a backward glance.
“You’re right. I do dream about it, P. A lot.”
“Penelope, come on. Don’t overreact. It wasn’t personal.”
“Nothing is to you, Forrest,” she fires back.
“Oh, I’ll work you out good. You haven’t been to the gym of Forrest in weeks, and I have a lot of new moves to show you.”
“God, you’re cheesy. But show me the moves.” I tingle everywhere with anticipation.
🔹FALTER
Falter is the fourth and final book in the Nash Brothers series by one of my favorite authors, Carrie Aarons. I have loved every book in this series and this one is no different. Thank you, Carrie for not making me wait long for this book after Flutter. I was slowly falling for Fletcher with each book especially in Flutter that I couldn’t wait to completely fall in Falter. Damn. Did I ever.
Fletcher knew she was trouble. Ryan knew just he was too. They sensed it the first time they met years ago. That was exactly why when she was in town over a few weekends here and there they stayed away. But now...there was nowhere to run. Ryan needed to refresh her batteries after a bad breakup and a loss of career passion. Fawn Hill where her best friend found her passion, love, family, and friends was her best shot before she moved on to bigger places. It was just a pit stop. That’s what she thought anyway.
Fletcher has been sober for five years. And it’s been just as long since he has been with a woman. He didn’t date to date. He didn’t want to go down that path until he knew he found the girl he wanted to be with forever. He didn’t know if he could handle a broken heart. What he did know was if it was going to be anyone it was going to be Ryan Shea. They have been tip-toeing around their attraction for years and now she was here. At least for the summer. He knew he shouldn’t go there. She told him she has sworn off men and he told her he wasn’t the casual type. Not anymore. But what happens when the attraction is so great and they truly see the other when others don’t?
This book! This is what happens! My God...it is so good! I have been waiting for these two to get their heads out of their asses as the Nash Brothers would say for as long as they met. The build up is epic. Their story is explosive. I loved it all. The demons and all because without those they would be them.
Overall...Amazing! All of it. The characters. The story. The passion. The demons. The family. The love. The friendships. Loved it all. I hope to see them all again. Maybe a little YA with the youngsters. Hey! It could happen.
P.S. Carrie — That last line? Damn.
Quotes:
“Now, let me sleep. I’m an old woman, and if this isn’t a booty call, talking to anyone this late isn’t worth losing beauty rest.”
“This place really is something right out of Gilmore Girls,” I tell her, sipping my lemonade the minute it’s set down on the table.
“I’ve fantasized about you.”
He cocks an eyebrow. “I’d like to hear all of those, in vivid detail. But for now, I want to live up to them.”
🎄A VERY NASH CHRISTMAS
This was fantastic! I love seeing couples in the future and this gave me four. It’s set ten years later with the Nash’s sharing a cabin for Christmas. Each brother gets their own chapter about careers, love, and family. It’s a fun treat!

Fleeting –
‘This time, when I knew the journey was coming to an end, I was happy to be going home.’
Presley is a free spirit. She moved from the big city to help her grandmother run her book and post store in the small town of Fawn Hills. After her grandmother’s dog eats one of her unmentionables, Presley meets the town hero and resident nice guy, Keaton Nash. Keaton is a veterinarian who followed in his father’s footsteps and is now trying to keep up with being the town hero without his father there. As the two get to know each other Presley sees that the perfect façade that Keaton puts forward is just that, a façade and behind that façade is a man that has struggles and problems just like everyone else. Can Presley put down roots and be happy in the small town? Or will she go back to the city and run away from the one man she could truly love?
I really enjoyed this book. I appreciate the journey that the characters went on, but I also appreciate that we get so much from the secondary characters in this book. So much so that I can’t wait for more Nash brothers!! These two were so relatable because just like regular people who first meet up and are trying to decide if they can date, they said the wrong things. There was some rejection, which is again, relatable. All in all this was a fantastic book that left me wanting more from all of Keaton’s brothers!
Forgiven –
Bowen and Lily were a love story for the ages, until a car accident changed everything. 10 years has passed since the accident and Bowen has done everything in his power to avoid Lily, however now, the two are being forced together thanks to his older brother’s wedding. Bowen has done his best to keep Lily in the dark as to why he walked away, but the more time they spend together the harder it is for him to keep that secret.
Lily has never fallen out of love with Bowen, but her unanswered questions nag at her the more time they spend together. How could Bowen just walk away from her? She thought their love could withstand anything, but he walked away so easily. She’s desperate to find out what happened all those years ago, but is she ready for the answers?
I am so glad we got Bowen’s story, he seemed so surly in Keaton’s book and I just knew there had to be more to him. And Carrie Aarons did not disappoint. This story was full of angst, and the constant push and pull between Bowen and Lily had me devouring the pages to find out what would happen next for them! This was a fantastic addition to the Nash Brother’s series, and I can’t wait for the twins’ stories!
Flutter –
Forrest Nash is a for all intents and purposes, a hacker. He used to do some questionable things with those skills, for the greater good, but now he puts those skills to good use as helping solve crimes. Penelope Briggs is a widow; she lost the love of her life when he was serving the USA. She is a single mom of 3 and doing her best. Forrest has been in lust with Penelope since he was a little boy, now as a grown man he can’t stand her. She is bossier and sassier than any man can handle. As for Forrest, Penelope can’t stand him either, he’s cocky and a know it all. What the two can’t deny is they have some serious chemistry in the bedroom. One night turns into two, and they can’t seem to keep their hands off of each other. The two think they’re being sneaky, but when a job Forrest is working threatens Penelope’s safety, he’ll do anything to protect her. The question is, are either willing to admit they are more than just friends with benefits?
Forrest Nash, I’ve been waiting for his book since Keaton’s. Don’t get me wrong Carrie Aarons is three for three when it comes to the Nash brothers. Each of them are swoony in their own way, but Forrest, that nerdy vibe just makes me love him even more than his other brother’s. Carrie has absolutely killed it with the third installment in the Nash Brother’s series. I love a girl with some sass and Penelope has that in spades, and the chemistry that Carrie brings to life with her writing of this book is white hot. I couldn’t put this book down; it was an absolute page turner. This book was such a quick read because I needed to know what was going to happen next. Bring on Fletcher, I have a feeling he is going to tear my heart out!
Falter –
Ryan Shea has had a tough life, and a tough go of it with relationships, with her last one ending rather dramatically. She’s decided that she is swearing off men for a while. She knows she jumps head first into relationships, so she’s decided to focus on herself. Fletcher Nash is the baby in his family, and a recovering addict. He’s five years into his sobriety and he vowed to never fall in lust again. He’s working hard and fighting his battle to remain sober every day. When Ryan comes to town to stay with her best friend Presley, the two are thrown back together. The few times they’ve been around each other before, there has always been a pull that they have both tried to avoid. As they spend more time together, it is hard to deny that pull, but as they navigate through their budding relationship, are either ready for this to be more? And can Ryan separate her past from her future?
I didn’t think I would love a Nash brother as much as I loved Forrest, but Fletcher just took the top spot. This book wasn’t just about two people falling in love, this book was about a man fighting addiction and a woman trying to overcome her past. Hands down one of the most amazing books I’ve read in a while. I love that Carrie didn’t shy away from talking about addiction and how debilitating it can be even when you are 5 years sober. She takes a topic that can be dark, and just writes about it in a way that makes it more eye opening to people who don’t suffer. I’ve been rooting for Ryan and Fletcher from the very first book in this series, and I’m so glad that they got their happily ever after! Well done Carrie, I don’t think I could have asked for a better ending to this series!
A Very Nash Christmas –
This novella gave me all the feels and seriously put me in the holiday spirit! I absolutely adore the Nash brother’s and I’m so grateful that we got to catch up with them and their families! To see them all thriving put a serious smile on my face. I think I smiled through the entire novella! This is one of my favorite Carrie Aaron’s families, and just what 2020 ordered to get everyone ready for the holidays!

I was sent a copy of this box set in exchange for a review.
Fleeting
*This is the first story in the Nash Brothers Series*
Fleeting introduces us to Fawn Hill, PA where we meet the lovable Nash family with loyalty and snark in spades. Family is a tie that forever binds us, but will more often than not try our patience, our spirit, and our sanity.
Meet Keaton-the eldest Nash brother, the town Veterinarian, and all around dependable guy. He has deep roots and is a pillar in the community who has always stayed inside the metaphorical lines. Keaton and his tidy existence collide with a fiery NYC redhead Presley when she sweeps into town to help out her grandmother. She has a penchant for running from the rigors of adulthood and her aversion to letting herself take root anywhere and gypsy spirit clash with the always responsible and fiercely loyal Keaton.
Will their story end in a forever love or just be a passionate, but fleeting case of opposites attract?
Forgiven
*This is the second story in the Nash Brothers Series*
Meet Bowen-the second eldest Nash brother. He is an introvert prone to being grumpy, has rough edges, is loyal to his family, and has a will as tough as iron. He met the love of his life and best friend, Lily, when he was just sixteen. Grand plans for their forever, his career in MLB, and their relationship were obliterated in the seconds his truck rolled altering both their futures forever.
A decade later Bowen owns the Barbershop in Fawn Hill, is a volunteer firefighter, and seems to have risen above the ashes of the accident that changed everything. The walls around his heart, the harsh words, and anger are a flimsy cover for the undeniable chemistry that still exists between Bowen and Lily. Their efforts to keep away from one another and fight the embers of love that still burn are circling the drain as they are continually thrown together by their ever expanding circle of family and friends.
Can these two bridge the chasm of a decade when there are secrets and misunderstandings that continue to haunt them both. Is Forgiveness even possible after all the pain and years wasted? Will Bowen and Lily forge a new path to a different version of their forever or will they stay in the in-between, a limbo full of longing looks and empty hearts?
Flutter
*This is the third story in the Nash Brothers Series*
Meet Forrest-the older Nash Twin and self proclaimed anti-hero. He is fiercely loyal to those he loves, handsome in a geeky hipster way, off the charts intelligent, and the most socially awkward brother. Forrest is reckless, not only with his words and razor wit, but when he bends the law in order to sleuth the dark web for personal pursuits and in his work as a police consultant.
Arrogance and selfishness rule his days, but from the moment he saw her his soul felt connected to (the very out of reach) Penelope. The stunning, feisty, and tough as nails HS nurse is an Army widow and single mother to 3 boys. She has never seen Forrest as anything but the much younger Nash brother she barely tolerated.
Will fate intervene and allow these two the chance to alter the preconceived notions they hold of who the other is? Will Penelope feel the flutter of love in her heart ever again? Will Forrest be vulnerable enough to show his true self and share it with her?
Falter
*This is the fourth story in the Nash Brothers Series*
Meet Fletcher-the younger Nash twin and literal baby of the family. Known for being the most sociable brother, naturally athletic, always the life of the party, and kind. Those wonderful qualities and his jovial nature masked his addiction to alcohol and his struggles with drugs.
Now sober, he faces the daily struggle to maintain it, and works hard to keep on this new path. His time and energy are now spent on working, growing his woodworking hobby into a career, and being there for family.
Ryan Shea is stunning, a genius coder/hacker, and a little broken. She meets Fletcher when in Fawn Hill for Presley and Keaton’s wedding. Their connection was instant-like a cord connecting two souls, but it isn’t until years later that they are both in a place to acknowledge their bond and take a chance on love. Fletch and Ryan have many obstacles to face that require trust and vulnerability. Can they be the light for each other and a haven in the storms of life or will they falter and run when the road gets rough?
A Very Nash Christmas
This was a beautiful peek into the future of the lovable Nash family. We see every brother thriving as they adjust to the constant changes and wrangling familial responsibilities the best way they know how. It’s nice to get this glimpse and know that while life has brought its trials this family is still a strong supportive unit.

Fleeting:
This was such a really cute read. Keaton is a small town vet that runs himself thin by being everyone's hero and doing every and anything for his family and practice. Presley is a flighty woman that hasn't ever really settled at any aspect of her life. When things get to be mundane or routine she likes to run. At first this made me not like her because how she treated Keaton on their first few outings but as the story goes on Keaton helps her get over some of her fears and she redeems herself by letting him into her heart. The Nash brothers are all amazing and I can't wait for their stories especially Bowen and Lily's.
Forgiven:
A beautiful second chance romance about Bowen and Lily. They were high school sweethearts that endured a tragic event that split them up and now 10 years later they still don’t speak or acknowledge each other even though they are still lining for each other. This book gives you all the feels, one minute you want to cry and the next you’re swooning real hard. This series just keeps getting better and better and I love each of the Nash Brothers and can’t wait for more.
Flutter:
This is the third book in the Nash Brothers series and it feature Forrest and Penelope. Forrest is this genius hacker that gets hired by the police to work for them after he hacks their security system. He has this cocky, arrogant way about him but yet he is socially awkward and so confident that he doesn't really know how to relate to others or sympathize with them. Forrest has loved Penelope almost all his life but she is 6 years older and married her high school sweetheart but he passed away fighting for his country. Penelope is a hard working widow and single mom, she works hard for her kids takes care of them non stop but has a great support system. This two are total opposites, they fight and argue but their banter is funny and their chemistry is undeniable. I absolutely loved this book because we see the computer geek soften up to get his girl and we see a hardworking mom let go and give love another chance. This story is full of ups and downs, suspense, and overall I fell in love with Forrest. I can't wait to see what happens in Fletcher's story.
Falter:
This is the last Nash brother book in this series and it's about Fletcher, in the previous books I just knew his book would be emotional since he is a recovering alcoholic. It's been five years since he has been sober, he has been working hard, making amends, working on bettering himself which is why he has stayed away from any type of relationship or women in general. I loved him so much because you could feel how hard he tried everyday to be better, you could see how he wanted to prove his worth to not only himself but his family too. He was a beautiful person inside and out now that he found his sobriety and I loved getting to know more about him.
Ryan is a city girl, a traveller, independent woman who tries to find love in all the wrong places. She comes back to Fawn Hill after an awful breakup, swearing off men for at least a year. Honestly I wasn't sure how I felt about Ryan because I liked her in some ways but others I had a hard time connecting with her or even feeling compassion for her. I liked that she was independet yet she emotionally stunted with abandonment issues from her addict mother. I also liked that she was hardworking and loyal to her friend Presley and even new friends she had just recently made. I also loved how in some moments she was so compassionate, such a great listener, and just there for Fletcher. What I couldnt' stand was her constant need to bash small town life then say "i know this makes me sound selfish, like a witch with a b, but I'm a city girl" we get it you don't like it yet you're there loving it at the same time. One other thing that she did I could not stand was how she was always there for Fletcher with a listening ear yet one instance she starts to be judgemental of him and throws things up in his face which he didn't deserve. She always towards the end runs away again but says because Fletcher told her to go its all his fault when she was the one that created the gap between them because she couldn't stop comparing him to her mom, so I didn't like he was the one that apologized first. Like I said I loved the book I just personally didn't think Ryan was a good match for Fletcher, I thought she made a good friend but her aversion to addicts using or recovering wouldn't work between them because she honestly had no time to get over it so to speak. Overall I honestly enjoyed it mostly due to Fletcher and the other Nash's and us getting a look inside the day to day struggles of a recovering addict and I hate to see the Nash brothers series come to an end.
This was such a really cute read. Keaton is a small town vet that runs himself thin by being everyone's hero and doing every and anything for his family and practice. Presley is a flighty woman that hasn't ever really settled at any aspect of her life. When things get to be mundane or routine she likes to run. At first this made me not like her because how she treated Keaton on their first few outings but as the story goes on Keaton helps her get over some of her fears and she redeems herself by letting him into her heart. The Nash brothers are all amazing and I can't wait for their stories especially Bowen and Lily's.
Forgiven:
A beautiful second chance romance about Bowen and Lily. They were high school sweethearts that endured a tragic event that split them up and now 10 years later they still don’t speak or acknowledge each other even though they are still lining for each other. This book gives you all the feels, one minute you want to cry and the next you’re swooning real hard. This series just keeps getting better and better and I love each of the Nash Brothers and can’t wait for more.
Flutter:
This is the third book in the Nash Brothers series and it feature Forrest and Penelope. Forrest is this genius hacker that gets hired by the police to work for them after he hacks their security system. He has this cocky, arrogant way about him but yet he is socially awkward and so confident that he doesn't really know how to relate to others or sympathize with them. Forrest has loved Penelope almost all his life but she is 6 years older and married her high school sweetheart but he passed away fighting for his country. Penelope is a hard working widow and single mom, she works hard for her kids takes care of them non stop but has a great support system. This two are total opposites, they fight and argue but their banter is funny and their chemistry is undeniable. I absolutely loved this book because we see the computer geek soften up to get his girl and we see a hardworking mom let go and give love another chance. This story is full of ups and downs, suspense, and overall I fell in love with Forrest. I can't wait to see what happens in Fletcher's story.
Falter:
This is the last Nash brother book in this series and it's about Fletcher, in the previous books I just knew his book would be emotional since he is a recovering alcoholic. It's been five years since he has been sober, he has been working hard, making amends, working on bettering himself which is why he has stayed away from any type of relationship or women in general. I loved him so much because you could feel how hard he tried everyday to be better, you could see how he wanted to prove his worth to not only himself but his family too. He was a beautiful person inside and out now that he found his sobriety and I loved getting to know more about him.
Ryan is a city girl, a traveller, independent woman who tries to find love in all the wrong places. She comes back to Fawn Hill after an awful breakup, swearing off men for at least a year. Honestly I wasn't sure how I felt about Ryan because I liked her in some ways but others I had a hard time connecting with her or even feeling compassion for her. I liked that she was independet yet she emotionally stunted with abandonment issues from her addict mother. I also liked that she was hardworking and loyal to her friend Presley and even new friends she had just recently made. I also loved how in some moments she was so compassionate, such a great listener, and just there for Fletcher. What I couldnt' stand was her constant need to bash small town life then say "i know this makes me sound selfish, like a witch with a b, but I'm a city girl" we get it you don't like it yet you're there loving it at the same time.

Nash brothers series it’s another five star recommendation from Carrie Aaron.
Fleeting
Presley and Keaton’s book is an opposite attract small town story, which made me once again remember why I love Carrie’s writing. Keaton is the towns veterinarian , he is prim and proper, a family man and a sound pillar for everyone. The moment he sees Presley , the attraction he feels is one he can’t ignore, yet the city girl turns him down . Presley’s life feels like on hold, the middle child of a career driven family , she feels like the black sheep. When her grandmother is need of help, she doesn’t hesitate to offer herself up, but she never imagined she’ll also find herself , friends , love and her career.
Forgiven
Bowen and Lilly’s story was really emotional. They were high school sweethearts who were separated by a tragedy, they were part of book one and while I knew that still loved each other, the reason they were not happily together was yet to be determined. I was frustrated at times with Bowen , he was a prick to Lilly in order to make her keep her distance, it broke my heart how much she was willing to overlook , yet I couldn’t blame Bowen either. He really was given the short end of the straw. In this second chance romance story, we learn that sometimes while trying to protect the one we love, we end up hurting them more. I was really happy for them to find their way back together.
Flutter
I’m going to admit, Forrest and Penelope are my favorite couple. Their interaction in the previous books made it hard to be sure if they will be the next couple. Penelope is my hero. Raising three boys on her own after being widowed at a young age, working full time and still trying to make some time for herself. I fully understood why she didn’t want to be involved with anyone, yet she didn’t turn down a friend with benefits proposal from Forrest.
These brothers are all accomplished ,yet all of them has some hidden insecurities. Forest tried to hide his, behind an arrogant behavior. He had a crush on Penelope from the first time he discovered girls, but being six years younger wasn’t in his favor. He had a hard time accepting her constant rejection, but after being involved with her, he started understanding what she’s dealing with. Their journey was not an easy one, but it was the most funny from the series. While I felt their struggle, Carrie also tried to mask it with humor, so it didn’t get heavy.
Falter
Fletcher and Ryan were a couple I was curious about how Carrie would manage to give a happy ending .
Both feeling attracted to each other was obvious, but during the years they knew each other he was adjusting to his life as a clean addict. I was really proud of how much he grew as a person since book one, but I was also heartbroken about what he went trough. When Ryan needed some time away from her adventurous life, they got to spend some time together and slowly give into their feelings. Only they both had demons to fight, so it took them some time to realize that it’s easier to fight them together.
The box set has a special Christmas epilogue, witch made me happy. It was so good to see what they were up to, after some years.

We have the delicious, sexy and some times brooding Nash brothers back again. Carrie Aarons first introduced us to Keaton, Bowen, Forrest and Fletcher making us love them with their own story but wanting more. Not only we saw Keaton, the eldest of this family trying to bring the family back after losing their father it almost seemed a lost cause. Yet Carrie Aarons shows us that these men have their women to balance them out. We all fell in love with Presley, Lily, Penelope and let's not forget the adventurous Ryan. Each woman brings us their unique style of loving these men and man the way they do it is so awesome. We see ten years after their happily ever after and wow so much has happened.
Keaton and Presley are sexier than ever still having their own passion even after raising kids. Now talk about Keaton being tested with twin girls. Then we have Lily and Bowen, who I am happy to say still feisty as ever probably even more. Seeing these two together after what they both been denying each other was beautiful. Then we have Forrest and Penelope seeing themselves well going through an empty nest syndrome.Finally we have Fletcher who may be the youngest of the Nash brothers but man he sure has grown up. Him being with Ryan sure has led him to an adventurous life and boy seeing him as a parent can be a doozy. Seeing all of them in one place and the matriach of this fun, loving family trying to maintain peace was awesome. Carrie Aarons sure knows how to bring family together and in a way bringing sexy back to these brothers. Loved it.

Fleeting
Small town romance and I am in love!
Presley and Keaton couldn't be more opposite, yet the chemistry is so strong..they wonder and I wondered if they could make it work..
I loved this story because neither character turned out to be what the first impression suggested..
I also adored Presley's grandmother and Keaton's family.
There isn't drama for the sake of drama, which I love, and the story is so sweet..
Can't wait for the other brother's stories..especially Bowen
Forgiven
I wanted this story since I met the characters in Fleeting. Lily and Bowen are so very much in a love but an accident changed both their lives and since then everything broke.
Reading about these two is brutal in the best way..there is so much love and yet they can't get past that tragic moment..but is that the only thing that keeps them apart?
For me it was very emotional and I loved every second!
Flutter
I love Forrest and Penelope..these two start out as friends with benefits but feelings start to creep in..and while neither of them wants them or a relationship, their involvement is steady and also so perfect for them. When danger calls, it might be the time to make a decision. I am just in love with them both and I couldn't put this down.
Falter
This story is so moving and God, the feels..so many feelings!
Ryan is on a man diet, seeing as she always ends up with a broken heart..
Fletcher is keeping busy and avoiding women too, his future and his recovery the primary concerns.
Two people who aren't looking for love but have such a connection..can they ignore it or will they face their demons and take a chance?
I loved both characters and I really felt this story!!

I was fortunate to get an advanced copy of this book set and of course it took me a little while to get through, 4 books is a lot but each book was great. I can’t decide which bother’s story is my favorite. All I know is that I want to be adopted into the Nash family.
Sometimes when you read a book set each book/story is similar and feels redundant, this set is not like this. Each story was so different and truly reflects the brother and his life. I loved getting to know the family and by the fourth book I loved how much I knew about everyone.
Each story had its own particular brand of swooning and heartthrob vibes that kept my pages turning. I absolutely loved it and the bonus 4 chapters covering each brother for a fun christmas at the end was the perfect treat for my holiday heart.
I don’t want to give anything away, so here it is short and sweet Carrie Aaron’s did it again and brought us four great love stories that you will happily neglect adult life to devour. This set is a pager turner mama and I recommend it for your holiday and new years reading.
The reason I gave 4 stars was that I found some errors/mistakes in the editing in one of the books. And those always make me stumble a little bit when I read. I'm a slow reader and fully immerse my self in my minds eye when I read so little bloopers get under my skin.

Best Sibling Series Ever!
The Nash brothers are four brothers who live in a small town and have big lives. Even though they are brothers, they are very different men with strong personalities. Keaton, Bowen, Forrest and Fletcher are all good people with a story to tell. Their stories are compelling, passionate, entertaining and sometimes heartbreaking. While reading their four stories, I laughed, cried, cheered them on and just overall had a fantastic time getting to know them and their significant others.
A bonus with this boxed set is an extended epilogue set 10 years at Christmas after the books end. Who doesn’t wonder what happens to their favorite characters in the future? I absolutely loved catching up with the brothers and their extensive family years after saying goodbye. All of the epilogues are entertaining and give another glimpse into this wonderful family. This is one of the best series written about siblings. You will not regret the time you spend getting to know the Nash Brothers. A great Christmas gift for your book loving friends and family!

I’m home! I swear nothing makes me feel that way quite like Aarons’ works.
Book 1- Keaton & Presley. I mean. An opposites attract, small town romance? A few lumps and bumps on their road to HEA, but honestly, it couldn’t be a smooth ride entirely. This couple paved the way for the rest and I love them so dearly.
Book 2- Lily & Bowen. A second chance romance with a little bit of burn. Their past tangled up their future and their present has been stuck in limbo for many years. I cheered Lily on so hard in finding her voice and USING it.
Book 3- Penelope & Forrest. I think I had the hardest time with this brother, just because he was a little more self centered than the others. I still love them as a couple, and the fact that he embraced parenthood. A little bit of enemy tension upped the levels for me.
Book 4- Fletcher & Ryan. These broken babies hit me so hard in the feels. He, a recovering alcoholic, she, a serial dater. The healing vibes in this one are intense as each of them learn to open up to one another.

The Nash Brothers Box Set includes all four of the books in the series and an extended Christmas epilogue.
This is small-town romance at its best. Each story features a different brother, each struggling in their own way after the death of the family patriarch. The family bond is so strong through this series, and I really enjoyed that aspect.
There’s a little bit of something for everyone in this collection. From the sweet and charming opposites-attract romance of Keaton and Presley in Fleeting, to the angsty second-chance romance of Bowen and Lily in Forgiven. Forrest and Penelope share a little animosity and steam in Flutter, while Fletcher and Ryan have a lot of healing to do in Falter.
I absolutely love extended epilogues that give me a look into my favorite characters’ futures. This one is set 10 years after Falter, and each brother gets a chapter POV. We get to see a little of what each family is up to as they share a family Christmas getaway. I loved this little glimpse into their lives, and it’s the perfect way to cap off this series.

This box set is absolutely fabulous!
It contains a little of everything. Good men, bad boys, strong women and strong family bonds.
Each story has drama (though some do run through more than one book) there is lust, longing, love, hurt and many other emotions.
One thing this box set has in spades is small town swoon... each hero has his own faults (some more than others) and each heroine has her own mind - which is a strong selling point for me.
Carrie Aaron has definitely given you a heap of feels put into one box set, that is for sure!
Cozy up with your kindle, a hot cup of cocoa (or a glass of wine) and enjoy the banter of the Nash Brothers and the women who turn their worlds inside out. You WON’T be disappointed.

4.5/5*
Original review
Original review
This book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Carrie Aarons!
The Nash Brothers series are the first books I’ve read by Carrie Aarons and I’m so glad that I discovered her. Now I’ve read so many other books by her and she’s such an amazing author. The Nash Brothers series was such a good series because you get to fall in love with every Nash brother. If you’re a fan of small town romances, then I highly recommend this series! I also really liked getting back to The Nash Brothers series by reading the bonus epilogue at the end of this box set. I love all four brothers and the epilogue made me smile!
Fleeting: 4.5/5
Fleeting was the first book I’ve read by Carrie Aarons and I fell in love with her characters. Presley and Keaton are both enjoyable characters. They’re so different yet perfect for each other. Their story was really cute, and I really liked reading about them. Just like all the other books in the series, Fleeting was such a fast paced and well written read!
Forgiven: 4/5
While reading Fleeting, I was always wondering why Lily and Boden acted so weird when they were around each other and I was so happy that their story was next. I really loved the dual perspective in this book because you really want to know why they were acting so weird and how they were really feeling. I really liked Lily because she’s such a sweet and kind girl and she reminds me a bit of myself. I also really liked Boden because he was an introvert and I haven’t read that many books with male introverts.
Flutter: 5/5
When I was reading the third book, I immediately had the feeling that it was going to be my favourite of the series. I am a sucker for the enemies to lovers trope and Carrie Aarons did such a great job with this one. Forrest and Penelope are both amazing characters. They’re made for each other because they’re both funny! Forrest is such a cute nerd and I think I’d fall for him in real life!
Falter: 5/5
Falter is my second favourite book in the series because the characters were really admirable and the story was really ‘real’. Fletcher is a recovering alcoholic and Ryan’s been in foster care. I loved that Carrie Aarons talked about these topics because they’re ‘real’ and a lot of people deal with the same kind of things. I loved that Fletcher and Ryan were both strong characters and I loved reading their story.

All the Nash brothers in one set...oh my YES!!
So I absolutely loved this series. It was fun to catch up on their stories again and that Christmas epilogue...hearts!! For someone who loves epilogues - this one set in the future to see how all their families have grown, how they've thrived and the family love that is so rich and wonderful.
This was truly a gem for a Christmas read for the epilogue alone. But if you haven't met the Nash brothers - you MUST!! These are 4.5 to 5 star reads all the way through.
...and Forrest is still my fave Nash brother...but you are likely to love them all.
I voluntarily requested and read an advance reader copy.

Fleeting Book 1 - A small town romance with all the feels. Keaton and Presley's story is an opposites attract romance with humor, heartbreak, and wonderful characters. Enjoyed the story from beginning to end!
Forgiven Book 2 - This is Bowen and Lily's story. A second chance romance of young love destroyed and then a second chance given years later. Secrets, lies, betrayal, longing, heartache, humor, and wonderful characters made this a story with all the feels. Loved the ending and that Bowen and Lily got their HEA.
Flutter Book 3 - Forrest and Penelope go from friends with benefits to so much more. Their story is super sizzling, full of witty banter, wonderful characters, mystery, danger, and suspense. They had a rough and bumpy road to their HEA, but they finally get there and I totally enjoyed the ride.
Falter Book 4 - Fletcher and Ryan's story is one of hope, heartbreak, and redemption. They try to resist their attraction to each other, but the more time they spend together the harder it is to resist their feelings for each other. Both have their demons from their past and every day is a struggle for Fletcher to stay sober, but these are two strong people who deserve to find the one. I loved the way Fletcher went after Ryan and that they got their HEA.
A Very Nash Christmas - Loved this holiday novella and the love and laughter of the Nash clan gathering at Christmas. A fun story and loved getting caught up with their lives many years later. Puts you in the holiday spirit!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Nash Brothers!! Keaton, Bowen, Fletcher & Forrest are my favorite men & it was so great to fall back into Fawn Hill with them. The Christmas epilogue was an even bigger treat & it was nice to see how time passed on for them. It was bittersweet but I recommend this series all the time as it’s Carrie’s best one yet. I’m gonna miss these boys all over again now.
I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review

The Nash Brothers are probably some of my favorite characters! Keaton, Bowen, Forrest, and Fletcher. All unique but in the end wonderful men who love with all their heart. I enjoyed each of their stories and the Christmas Epilogue added at the end was a wonderful conclusion to these brothers and their stories!

This box set has it all!! It's my first read with the Nash Brothers and I devoured this set. It's a small town with great characters that gives you all the feels with laughter and tears and swoon worthy romance. I loved every single book and cannot recommend the Nash Brothers box set more!

Carrie Aarons never disappoints but these books exceeded my expectations on all levels. Fantastic writing and the plot lines are consistent, which I appreciate so much. I can't even pick my favorite out of the series!

These Nash men will you swooning. I freaking loved this series with my whole heart. There was sorrow, pain and so much love in these books. Each brother has his own demons but the strong women in their lives have their backs. Don’t wait to fall in love with this series .

The Nash Brothers Series is about the four brothers Keaton, Bowen, Forrest and Fletcher. Each one of them gets their own book and if you like small town romances with a lovely family that will feel just like your home, this series will be perfect and is now available in this box set. In addition this comes with an exclusive bonus epilogue that takes place 10 years later and it is called A Very Nash Christmas where we meet all of our favorite characters again and it is a lovely and grand christmas reunion.
.
Fleeting is the first book and about Presley who comes to Fawn Hill to help out her grandma. She is a city girl, but the small town life is growing more on her especially when she meets the charming vet Keaton. This is the perfect introduction to the Nash family.
.
Forgiven is the second book and about Lily and Bowen who are Highschool sweethearts until one night changes everything. Afterwards their relationship is in ruins and this book is their second chance and it is my favorite book of the series.
.
Flutter is the third book and about Penelope who is the single mother of three boys and wants to give them a great life after her husband died as a soldier. Forrest always had a crush on her and this might be his chance. They have a relationship with benefits at first until it grows into so much more.
.
Falter is the fourth book and about Ryan and Fletcher who seek a place in the world that they can call home. Both have their own demons and therefore stay far away from love until they experience how much this can give them.
