I absolutely love Lauren Royal's writing style and love love love the Chase Family. I've read all the books in the series, and some more than once, as is the case with all the books in this boxed set. "Amethyst" is the first book in the series and had me hooked. I'm more a Regency Era fan and at first I wasn't sure I could get into a story that takes place in 1660's Restoration Era. But like the Great Fire that swept London, I got swept away by this story. So well written with an interesting look at the history and customs of that era, and an oh-so-hot romance. Wow! "Emerald" is Book 2 of the series and another well written and romantic (steamy) story involving the oldest Chase brother Jason. "Forevermore" is a novella with characters that were introduced in "Emerald". I found that story to make more sense and be more enjoyable if it is read following Book 2 and not as a stand alone. All-in-all, I would highly recommend this boxed set and introduction to the Chase Family.

About the author

I decided to become a writer at the age of eight, after winning a "Why My Mother is the Greatest" essay contest and having my entry published in a major newspaper. Seeing my words in print was a thrill! But everyone told me it's too hard for novelists to get published, so after college I spent fourteen years as the CEO of my own jewelry store chain before writing my first book. A mistake? Maybe...but my first heroine, Amethyst, was a jeweler, so at least I took advantage of that wise old saying, "Write what you know." And I learned a good lesson: Don't let other people tell you what you can or can't do!

I write humorous historical romance mostly set in England and Scotland in the 17th and 19th centuries (Restoration and Regency periods). I've been oh-so-lucky to see my books hit bestseller lists all over the world, including the New York Times and USA Today lists, and win awards including the Golden Quill and Booklist's Top 10 Romance of the Year, making this second career a real dream come true. I live in Southern California with my family and a constantly shedding cat, and I still think my mother is the greatest!
