The Complete Echo Series by C.R. Alam
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
4 – 4.5 Stars
The Complete Echo Series Boxset by C.R. Alam contains the complete Echo series in one fantastic collection- allowing for a great bingeworthy reading session.
The Boxset contains:
Echoing Hearts (Book #1)
3.5 Stars
Echoing Hearts is the first book in The Echo series by C.R. Alam. This was the first book that I have read by this author, so I really didn’t know what to expect from one of her stories. But the Title and cover intrigued me, as did the promise of a bit of an angsty read- so, I snapped up a copy and dove right in.
And I am so glad I did as I discovered an interesting contemporary romance with an enemies to lovers/love triangle element, with plenty of drama, angst, emotion, chemistry, family, friendship, jealousy, doubt, and finding love unexpectedly. The enemies to lovers/love triangle element definitely added an extra element of interest to the story.
I did enjoy the story for the most part. It was a little slow to get going and did lag a little in places, but the chemistry between the characters, and emotion of the story, kept me turning the pages.
His Forever Muse (Book #2)
4.5 Stars
His Forever Muse is the second book in The Echo series by C.R. Alam. This is a captivating second-chance contemporary romance- a friends to lovers rockstar romance with a best friend’s sister element threaded through.
Brandon is the front man for rock band ‘Canis Major’. His whole life revolves around his creativity and artistic expression- music, art, and tattoos. So when he loses his inspiration and his creativity begins to suffer, Brandon’s quest is to find something, well anything really, that will reignite his creative passion. This is where he encounters a blast from the past, in the form of Calliope Chen-Bisset…. will she become “His Forever Muse”? This is well worth the read to find out….
There’s plenty of emotion, chemistry, friendship, and overcoming past pain to take a chance on love.
Unexpected Entanglements (Book #3)
4 Stars
Unexpected Entanglements is the third book in The Echo series by C.R. Alam. This is another contemporary romance with a fake relationship element, an unexpected entanglement, chemistry, sizzle, emotion, angst, love, loss, grief, a little drama, danger, finding love unexpectedly, fate, banter, and more.
Chris Sullens is about to have his world turned upside down when he not only finds himself offering to help plan a wedding out of the blue, he also can’t deny the connection that simmers between the stunning innkeeper/wedding planner and himself. But things take a very interesting turn when he then agrees to play her (fake) fiancé. So, get set as the sparks fly, chemistry sizzles, and things start to go awry. What happens definitely makes for an engrossing read.
Dangerous Rhythm (Book #4)
4.5 Stars
Dangerous Rhythm is the fourth book in The Echo series by C.R. Alam. I have really been enjoying this series, each book capturing my attention as the series just seems to be getting better and better with each new instalment. And this one is definitely my favourite of the series, so far.
This story had me invested right from the get-go. Who doesn’t love a Rockstar/bodyguard romance. Well, this takes that and gives it a twist- as he’s the rockstar and she’s the bodyguard. Yeah, that got my attention too. When he witnesses a crime that puts him in the crosshairs of a psycho mob boss, thing take a dangerous turn. Her job is to make sure he stays safe. But as they are forced to flee, things heat up in more ways than one. What happens you may wonder. Well, this is definitely worth the read to find out.
As you can see there’s plenty here to keep you engrossed. Each book in the series focuses on its own ‘couple’, so they can be read as standalones if you wanted. But the stories have all, so far, revolved around the band, Canis Major, and/or their friends and family- in some way…… which gives plenty of captivating content to keep you flipping the pages, as well as providing additional details and storylines- which help to build depth, as well as paint a bigger picture’…… so this Box Set is the perfect way to indulge. Four books for the price of one. #winning
If you love romance, rockstars, family, friendship, emotion, struggles, angst, some danger, intrigue, and plenty of sizzle- then this is definitely the series for you.
Happy Reading…
Thank you, C.R. Alam!
