This is a fantastic bargain!
I'm still a relative newcomer to Lane Hayes' books; I read my first one in August 2018. I have a lot of catching up to do and that includes the Leaning Into series. I've only read the first two books in this series at this point but I can't wait to read the others.
Both Leaning Into Love and Leaning Into Always are about Eric and Zane who have been best friends for several years. This book sets up their relationship and leaves them in a good place. The bonus chapter, Wedding Prep lets us know that things aren’t always smooth as they get things ready for their big day but there’s never any doubt that they are OK.
I was really happy to read more about Eric and Zane in Leaning Into Always. A little wrench gets thrown in their path when Zane’s old f*ck buddy enters the scene. Eric has some major jealousy issues going on but it’s a romance and they definitely get their HEA.
I haven’t read Leaning Into the Fall yet but I know that it’s about Nick, Eric’s former f*ck buddy and current business partner. We met him in Leaning Into Love and I really hoped that he was going to get a book of his own. I can’t wait to read this one.
So, the bottom line here is that this limited-edition collection is a fantastic bargain when compared to the cost of the individual books so grab a copy while you can.

I’ve had the pleasure of listening to this series on audiobook, but I couldn’t pass up the chance to read it again, along with bonus content that I haven’t read before. The author states having shared the extra content via email or in her FB group, but I was not around for that—so it was a special treat for me.
Snuggling up to spend some time with Eric, Zane, Nick, Josh, Grant, and each of their partners, was like coming home. I love these guys, and I could never grow tired of Eric’s awkwardness, Zane’s sweet patience and zest for life, Nick’s frantic mind, Josh’s sweetness, and Grant’s easiness to like. These men are like friends to me.
These stories are all uniquely wonderful. Whether they were friends to lovers, age gap with an unexpected connection, slightly forbidden second chance, or a second chance at love after loss—they were all well written, and wonderful to get lost in again. These guys are easy to love, root for, and forget that they only exist on paper and in our minds. Each story stands alone, but they are also all connected. While you can easily read whichever you want, I highly feel like you won’t regret reading them in order.

5 Stars!!!
The Leaning Into series was my introduction to Lane Hayes and I absolutely loved every single story in it, both when I first read them and then when I listened to the audiobooks and now, in this box set I had the chance to fall in love all over again with Eric and Zane, Nick and Wes (my favorite couple ever), Josh and Finn, Grant and Miles, Ryan and Danny, the fabulous Geordie and Levi and even Jeff and Lars, who feature in the short story, Leaning Into A New Start.
I hadn't had the chance to read the bonus content, so reading it was quite a treat and just what I needed to lose myself in to de-stress after a rough week.
If you haven't read this series before or read some of the books, I urge you to pick this box set. And if like me, you've read all of the books and novellas, the new content and having them all in a single file is more than worth the price.
