004-006 The Complete... Collection by Julia Kent

"That you love them unconditionally but want them to be exactly what imagine in your mind, That when they stray from your own set viewpoint of the world should work, it's like you've failed."  (Mike: Complete Harmony) 

The Complete Collection is a set  of four short novellas  that are considered the 5th  book in the "Her Billionaires" series  by  Julia Kent. Good-reads  lets you count  each one as one book so this counted as four  books for me.  I admitt that when I first decided to read the Her Billionaires  series I assumed  it was going to be some love triangle story. It's not though. It's main three  characters Laura, Dylan and Mike find themselves in a threesome relationship.  It's something  hard to  wrap your  head around on some level but  they make it work and Julia  does a good job  of explaining how  they make it work  on an emotional level. How even though what you're taught   is that  you're only suppose to love and be with  one person at a time  and if you're not there's something wrong with you; that way  of thinking  isn't always true. It's as much about the fact that Laura  loves both Mike and Dylan  and couldn't see  herself without them  (or just with  one of them and not the other) as it about the fact that while Dylan and Mike aren't gay  or sexually attracted to each other they do share something  on a deeper  level that only the two  of them can understand and they realize that they wouldn't want to  be in this type of realtionship with anyone else.  

In this set  of books we  see them along with Laura's best friend Josie and her boyfriend Alex along with Josie's cousin Darla and her boyfriends Trevor and Joe (Their story  is told in Kent's Random Acts...series) trying to navigate  new phases in their  lives and  deal with the outside world's view of their respective realtionships.

It was nice to see Dylan and Mike try to  help Trevor and Joe   figure  out what being in a relationship  like they are means to them. To watch Alex and Josie  who aren't in a threesome  with anyone else  both try to be there  for their friends and  yet at  times struggle to understand  it. 

But for all  my  rambling  this series is anything but a strictly  serious look at threesomes. It  is a comedy  just as much and there's always something   in each chapter to  make you  laugh.  

It's definitely a fun read. Maybe not  my favorite series by Kent (Shopping for Billionaire is so far)  but  it's definitely  enjoyable and I am looking forward to the sixth (final?)  book  coming out later this year to see how she manages to wrap up  this crazy roller coaster ride she's had Laura and company on. 

Overall I would rate the full set 3 out of 5 stars on goodreads, 

Currently reading: Tricky Twenty Two by Janet Evanovich about 100  pages in.

Not reading anything on my kindle app  right now because the tablet I use for ebooks has been on the fritz since I was trying to finish off the  last of this series  earlier this week. I've ordered an actual kindle though now as a late Christmas present  last night so I am sure I'll have a kindle read again soon.
