I just had to stop and review the Jersey Girls collection now that it is in a box set! Sadly, this won’t show up as an Amazon verified purchase, but I purchased and reviewed each book in the series as it was released. Yes, the books are that much fun to read.
Lisa-Marie Cabrelli does a wonderful job in bringing her characters to life on the page. As a reader, I ran the full gamut of emotions: the highs when romances work out and the lows when they don’t. Some of the situations left me shaking my head wondering how the character could do something so foolish, while others brought a smile to my face reading how friends step in to help friends. There’s even a bit of intrigue, too.
Please note that while these three stories are interrelated, you do not have to read them in order. However, if you purchase the set, then you will likely enjoy them more if you do.
It was a bit sad finishing the third book as I knew this delightful series had come to an end. However, I understand that a new book is in the works and am very much looking forward to seeing what else this author has in store for us.

A must read fantastic series if you want fun, human relatable characters!
you will not be able to put down the books in this series and when you have gone through all 3, you will be craving for more. The main characters, First the Jersey Girls, Claire, Sally, Maureen and Nan and then you have Satish. From book 1 to 3 you are drawn into the lives of these characters and you like them and root for them. Sally, Claire's best friend is a strong opinionated character and pretends to be much more street smart than her friends. The conflicts between relationships, work, and naive events that happen to the girls with the straight Satish who adores Claire! And then there is Satish's young sister who wants to be Americanized and fit in who Claire tries to reign in without quashing her exuberance while Satish wants to lock her i her room to study and not let her out to get into trouble. And Maureen, naive and very unworldly getting into a situation and needs to get rescued. Wow there is so much. All I can say is you must read this trilogy of loveable and funny characters,
I received and ARC from the author but the opinions expressed here are strictly my own.

I received free copies of each of the books separately and provided free reviews. I wish this was offered when I was first reading the stories! I think it is great that they are finally offered together which allows you to read one right after the other making it easier to keep track of the multiple story lines.
Here is my review of Unstoppable:
Unstoppable is the second in the "Jersey Girls " series. Claire, Satish, and Nandita return in this well written clean and lightly suspenseful romance. The writing is much better than in Unraveled" making the multiple story lines interesting and easy to follow. I especially enjoyed following along with Maureen as she goes from one over the top awkward moment to the next on her quest for love.

Three's Company!
I loved this whole trilogy! The girls in these books were such wonderful characters fondly written with a lot of heart and humor. Each book flows seamlessly from the one before it, and previous characters make reappearances, here and there, so you can find out how their stories continued. Every one of these Jersey Girls tales is like a chick flick in book form. This is the perfect weekend, holiday or vacation binge set!
*I previously received complimentary ARCs of these books in order to read and provide a voluntary, unbiased and honest review, should I choose to do so.

I received these books individually but decided to review them together. I really enjoyed this series and was sad when it was over because I enjoyed being in their world. I love the third book, think it’s my favourite, but that’s mainly because it wraps up stories beautifully.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Lisa-Marie Cabrelli's Jersey Girls series. They were very fun and entertaining. Lots of good characters and plot development, including some plot twists I didnt expect! I enjoyed the developing friendships and the ups and downs of those relationships. It added a very realistic quality to the books, as if I was able to put myself into those relationships as well. I found myself wondering what the characters were going to do next and what was going to happen. The books had enough mystery and intrigue to keep me guessing. I don't want to give any spoilers, but I must say I am very satisfied at the outcomes of of the storylines with several of the characters!
