The Marcy series box set by Linda Burson fantastic four-star reads. Rage, Confusion and Agony and Ecstasy complete the Marcy series, this series was good, and it shows us Marcy is a strong character and she shows us her strength of character that will surprise you at times, but it will also show you how great the writing and character development is by this author. These stories have their ups and downs and suspense a plenty as well as drama, there is a love triangle, so that’s kinda a given. But there’s another side as well, a deeper side that’s filled with a depth and drama you don’t see often, its well written and compelling and makes a very fast paced story easy to grasp. Overall, they are very good stories, they just missed that something special that blew me away.

The Marcy Series Box Set: Books 1-3 by Linda J Burson 4 Stars!!!!
I have to say that this is a great series. I have read the whole lot and it is definitely a great read. Marcy has a very complicated life but one does get drawn in and lost in it. I lile how the author has taken and handled the subject. There is just enough drama in the story.
I really like how the story unfolds in each consecutive book and how it all entwines the whole story together. This is a great way to get started with this series. I definitely would read more from this author.

This is a great box set that contains the first three stories from The Marcy Series by this author. It is a great series that has a little bit of everything in it from action to romance. Each book contains a story about Marcy and her friends. She is a great character that you just want to know more about. She is a character full of emotions and very strong. She is my favorite in this series and her friends supported her really well. Each story is unique and has its own plot and twists and turns. They are engaging stories that are hard to put down. They are fun and entertaining to read. I highly recommend this box set and this author.

This book set is a great way to start this series! And you must start at the beginning!
This first book is an interesting story. I felt like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop the entire time I was reading this book. The plot is a good one, with the main character, Marcy, experiencing some unexplained nightmares and rage. Her boyfriend, Brad, tries to make her understand that people are beginning to fear her. This just makes her angrier. Brad is by no means perfect and has his own problems. This couple gets engaged but sadly it doesn’t last long when they discover they have major problems to work out. Because Marcy didn’t have enough going on in her crazy life, she meets Liam.
I enjoyed this story because I experienced a range of emotions with the characters from their experiences. A little rage myself at the hospital scene. I have found that Brad tends to bring out my worst feelings. However, when Marcy meets Liam, that relationship brings out my swoony type feelings. (Although I think they are rushing things.)
I did not think that Marcy’s rage was all that out of control. Although when she learned to control it she seemed to be able to rather quickly. I think there could have been more situations where she was out of control. There were situations where she should have been out of control but she was rather passive. Marcy is a very likeable character and I cannot wait to see how and when Burson gives Marcy a happily ever after.
Confusion is book two in the Marcy series. In this book Marcy seems to have her rage still under control. After she met Liam in book one she learns there is a better outlet for her rage. In Confusion she is given more opportunities to let that rage loose. Her real confusion is loving two men and it is making me crazy! I really don’t know how one person could do it. She is much stronger than she thinks. However, I would like to see Brad become a little stronger himself. He seems weak through the first half of the book. And then he kind of goes MIA. Leaving us to wonder what he is cooking up.
Liam’s past is still a mystery and his current life as a vigilante keeps him mysterious. I hope when all is said and done he isn’t a bad guy! I am still #teamliam though-out this book!
Again, Burson’s writing style makes this storyline easy to read. I want a happily ever after and Marcy just can’t make a choice…I really don’t blame her…much.
To get the whole story you must read before book one, Rage, before reading Confusion. I love the titles that the author has given to these books. Perfect! However, my feelings are mixed about the main characters. Liam, Marcy and Brad…make a choice already! I did wish there was a bigger wow factor for the cliff hanger but I am still going to read the next book, Agony and Ecstasy. That sounds about right for these characters! I can’t imagine what Burson has in store for these three!
Ok here we go. Agony and Ecstasy is the third book in the Marcy Series. Will it be the last? With that ending I certainly hope not!
Here’s what causes Marcy’s rage, confusion, agony AND ecstasy!
“My life seems to be running in slow motion, and I can’t speed it up no matter what I do. I still think of Brad all the time, but I’m not missing him the way I’m missing Liam. Isn’t that interesting?”
To me this story had more agony than ecstasy. I just can’t like Brad. Everyone else does, Marcy, her friends, her parents, maybe even Linda Burson herself. I really am trying. I was #teamliam all through book 2 but this time he makes some choices and does some things that makes me wonder just what is really going on.
I can tell you this author likes twists! Major twist at the half way mark, another twist before the wedding, minor twist at the wedding, twist with Liam and Marcy, twist with Brad and Marcy. Can you understand the main character’s confusion? agony?
This story had good writing as the first two books did. This story focuses on Marcy’s confusion about loving these two great men. This story has a bittersweet happy ending but I didn’t like it…remember I am #teamliam. I felt no closure with this ending so let’s see what Burson can bring in the next book.

Burson – Review by Shannon Fowler
I read a few of the books in the series and you definitely don’t want to pass this by. This boxset has everything you would want. There’s a lot of suspense in these books that will keep you interested.
My favorite is the boxset is book 3 which in Agony and Ecstasy
The series should be read in order to follow the lives of the characters. Marcy is one of the main characters and she has been through a lot of heartbreak and fear in her life. There were 2 men in her life Brad and Liam. Both of which were engaged to Marcy and one point. Marcy has nightmares which start with her not remembering them. Little by little she starts to remember certain things. She’s in a very fragile state and then to top things off, she finds out that Liam, the man she loves…the man she plans to marry has some secrets of his own. Marcy needs to choose which man she will end up with. Brad…Liam…Who knows! This book has a lot of suspense and twists you won’t see coming. I thought the book was written well however, I felt like there were things thrown in that weren’t needed like the author had to meet a word count. The book was fairly long so I know that can’t be the case. I did enjoy reading this book and I’m sure you will too. Please be sure to read the books in order.

Burson – Review by Michelle Mulvey
Rage by Linda Burson is the first book in The Marcy Series and it’s certainly one interesting read. There is never a dull moment as its action packed with murder, love, new connections, and new understandings. This book was nothing like I was expecting, there was so much more to it than what I had originally thought. I will admit I found it hard to get into in the beginning as it was a bit confusing and I found the interactions between the characters to be really formal and not as real but as I continued to read I became more and more invested.
There were lots of twists and turns that kept me on my toes, I was constantly trying to predict the outcome, yet time and time again I was wrong and left with so many questions. Marcy was certainly a complex character, she’s angry, aggressive, troubled, and sometimes clueless. Her character really developed throughout this story, and while I didn’t agree with most of her actions she was a fun character to read about.
I am looking forward to reading the rest of the series so I can see the story through to the end and to get answers to all my questions.
Confusion
Confusion by Linda Burson is book two in her Marcy series, it’s intense, action filled and very intriguing. I would strongly suggest reading this series in order as they cannot be read as standalones. Confusion takes off right where Rage, book one, left off.
I found that this storyline flowed better in comparison to the first. The conversations between the characters were less formal and more natural and there seemed to be more detail in the story.
I still wasn’t able to connect with Marcy as her actions were all over the place and she always jumped into life changing situations with no real thought. Constantly caught between Brad and Liam that she’s stuck living a double life, one that seems a bit unrealistic which made it hard to really connect with her.
With that being said I still want to see where and what Marcy will do next. I will be continuing the series with Book three, Agony and Ecstasy.
Agony & Ecstasy
This is the third book in the Marcy Series, a series that should be read in order as each new book follows the last. I have enjoyed reading along with Marcy’s journey. Though she can be a frustrating character at times I did enjoy her character development. I felt really invested in her story and I’m really happy with how it all played out!!
Just like the first two books this one is action packed, filled with all kinds of drama, emotions, romance, etc. It really is a well-rounded book, one that I was able to read in one sitting!
I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

Burson – Review by Kaitlynn Taylor
The Marcy Series Boxset by Linda Burson contains the first three books in the Marcy Series, and is a fantastic introduction to a great series. The Boxset contains:
RAGE 4 Stars
Rage is the first instalment of The Marcy series by Linda Burson. After reading The Colors of My Life, I knew I would be reading more of Ms. Burson’s work- so when I saw this I just had to read it. This book is nothing like I expected. It has so much going on in it, I was trying to figure out where the author was taking the story, but then she would throw in a twist and had me guessing all over again. Life was going really well for Marcy- right up until the nightmares begin to erode the life she had built for herself. These nightmares are so intense and horrible, that they interfere with her sleep, make her anxious, unpredictable, and impacts on her day to day life. Her lack of sleep gets to a critical point, when her fiancé demands that she do something about it, get some help- or he was leaving her. This pushes Marcy right to the edge, where rage consumes every molecule of her being. Then one night, Marcy happens to be at a gas station on the way home when a gunman tries robbing the store and her. All her rage erupts, and she ends up taking the gunman down. This brings her to the attention of Liam, who has an agenda of his own, and thinks Marcy would be perfect to help him in his quest. This sets them both on a path that neither expected. Another great story from Ms. Burson. This romantic suspense is well written with action, drama, some mystery and excitement. I’m looking forward to the next book!
CONFUSION 4 Stars
Confusion is the second book in The Marcy Series by Linda Burson. This book has intrigue, suspense, drama, dilemmas- as well as a love triangle. This story is distinct from the first book, but does have threads from the first story that continue on into this book. So, I would highly recommend reading the first book, Rage, before starting on this one. You will appreciate the story all the more, for having read the books in the correct sequence. Marcy wants nothing more than to move on with her life, leaving all the tragic details of her life behind her and find a way to heal. But as we have come to learn, things are never quite that easy for Marcy. We discover that there is more to her story, secrets to uncover and dilemmas to work through- to be able to piece everything together. Brad and Liam both have their own issues to contend with as well, which adds some more depth and complexity to the whole story. It has a fast pace, with a few twists and turn that will give you plenty to think about. Another fantastic addition to this interesting series. I am diving right into the next book to see what the author has in store for the characters, and us!
AGONY AND ECSTASY 5 Stars
Agony and Ecstasy is the intriguing third book in the Marcy Series by Linda Burson. The story continues from book two, so I would recommend reading the first two books before beginning this one. The more this story evolves, the more I am realising how well thought out the entire bridging storyline is. Ms. Burson has infused her story with a lot of suspense, drama, dilemmas, emotion, humour, complex characters in complicated relationships and interactions, and quite a few surprises/surprising developments. Ms. Burson really writes well, pulling you into the story and keeping you hooked right through to the end. I laughed, cried and got lost in this fabulous story. For me, that is the sign of a skilled writer. I have really enjoyed this series so far, but this is definitely my favourite to date. The story has a great pace and is easy to read, it evolves beautifully and unexpectedly the further into the story/series I go. The characters have also developed and evolved along with the storyline. They tell an intriguing and very believable tale that I can’t wait to continue in the next book. Marcy, Brad and Liam have been through a lot and in this story, they continue to deal with nightmares, therapy sessions, making major decisions, dealing with shocking revelations, and more.
All this awaits in this awesome Boxset! The rest of the series awaits- bring on the next book/s!

The Marcy Series Box Set: Books 1-3 by Linda J Burson is three books of romance stories with a bit of danger, and suspense, twists and turns. Now they are all in one spot and waiting to be read one straight after the other one.
Book 1 Rage is the first book in the Marcy series and there is a whole lot going on in this story, twist and turns at every step of the way. Just when you thought you knew what was happening BAM you were thrown for a loop. This is a romantic thriller full of action and drama, suspense and a whole lot of mystery and murder. Marcy is plagued by horrible nightmares and rage, and she doesn’t know why. Realising things are not as they seem Marcy knows she needs help. But when that helps comes Marcy finds herself in a fight for her own sanity and a path that she never expected.
Book 2 Confusion is the second book and just like the first book here is a whole lot going on. This book will certainly keep you on your toes and on a rollercoaster ride where you don’t know which way is up or down. Confusion is an apt title. This book is a psychological twister that has it all from action and romance, murder and mystery, and lots of dramas and dilemmas. Your emotions will be all over the place, fear and anger, love and angst, hate and happiness. Marcy is trying to face her nightmares and little by little they are coming back but could there be a more that could be behind everything? Could things get much worse than they already are? Will she be able to move on from her past? Will she finally be able to move on in her life?
Book 3 Agony And Ecstasy is the third book and continues on where the second book ended. This book is the culmination of everything coming to a head. Freedom is scary, revenge is ripe and sweet, devastation takes its toll and finally nightmares are finally revealed in full. Love is lost, happiness turns into heartbreak. Agony finds happiness and a broken heart may mend. This story has many, many, many highs and lows and lots of confusion, tears and sorrow, but there is also laughter and surprises. It is a story of three peoples hopes and dreams and unimaginable love. It is also a story about dealing with a past that would destroy even the strongest of us and dealing with the complications of that past to try and find a way to the future.

Linda Burson, a native of Pennsylvania, but long time Connecticut resident, has been writing ever since she was given a writing assignment in school, at the age of eight. Later, as a teenager, she started out writing memoirs and attempted several nonfiction pieces.
After attending college, she worked in positions where she edited papers for others. She spent time pursuing other interests, and traveling. Much of Linda’s free time was spent reading mysteries, romance, and women’s contemporary novels.
After several attempts at writing nonfiction, but having life get in the way, she put her passion on hold again. She gave up writing to focus on raising her daughters, being a wife, running her own custom computerized embroidery business and taking care of her dog, a Lhasa Apso named Nathan.
After a serious bout of breast cancer, Linda eventually closed down her business after almost fifteen years. She decided it was time to attempt writing again. This time, however, with nothing to distract her, she decided on tackling fiction, a contemporary, commercial romance with a dark edge.
In January, 2013, she sat down with her laptop and started writing the first chapter. After a few more chapters, she began keeping notes about the details of her characters so she wouldn’t forget the important characteristics. The writing continued, and never stopped. Before she was aware of it, her idea of a single book turned into a trilogy, which turned into a much longer series called the MARCY SERIES. There are a total of 13 books in the series.
When asked about inspiration, Linda has this to say: “Nobody really inspired me to write, but I do remember my mother and father always saying ‘anything you put your mind to you can accomplish. Don’t ever let anyone tell you, you can’t do something.’ Having the support and encouragement of my family is also important.”

Overrall I give this book a solid 5 stars. Cant get enough!

Rage (The Marcy Series #1) by Linda Burson was an exciting heart pounding read that had me hooked from start to finish.
The first book in this crazy, outstanding series (I’ve been reading them a little out of order), and I’m so happy to have finally gotten to read the book where it all started. Detailed, and full of twist, turns, misdirects, this book was sometime to behold. I very much had a time reading this book, and I’m mad at myself for not reading it sooner. To backtrack and to witness were Marcy started, was wow, it was a real wow moment for me. This book is a must read for everyone that’s looking for an original fresh read that will teas your mind, and have you going, What just happened?
This book, this series, gets my super high recommendation and my golden stamp of approval.

Rage is the first novel in the Marcy series by Linda Burson. This my second novel by this author.
While I have read the third novel, it was nice to go to the beginning of the journey.
Marcy is having nightmares and her boyfriend gives her an ultimatum: either seek help or he’s leaving.
What happens when Marcy meets Liam could possibly find love with him?
This story did start up a little slow, so it took me a minute to get into the novel but once I did, I couldn’t put the book down. I had all this questions. Why is March having nightmares? Why would her lover leave her if she doesn’t get help? Shouldn’t he be supportive? Is there more to Marcy that will learn?
So many questions as I continued to read!
I am glad I started from the beginning because I definitely want to catch up and understand where the story had taken these characters.

A great read about anger. Marcy has been struggling at life with constant nightmares filling her dreams. This sleep deprivation makes her aggravated and his anger invades her life, making her explode over the smallest things. When her boyfriend leaves her over it, she gets even more angry.. One night when trying to get some petrol, she is held at gunpoint and her anger full explodes. Afterwards, she meets Liam, a man on a quest for revenge. Following on this quest for revenge, Marcy uses her anger to help him find the answers. But along the way she discovers love and feelings. Can anger truly solve all your problems? A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Brad trying to be supportive but having a breaking point or Jill wise and kind but also funny and caring. Great cast of supporting characters like the charming Rita or the chatty Sal. However, I felt that Marcy was too angry to be likeable. I felt this anger was too melodramatic, as sleep deprivation and nightmares only make you so grumpy and not to that extent. If this was toned down, it would be more believable and relatable. I loved the visual detail throughout the novel like with the coffee shop full of life and people and colourful décor comforting and welcoming with its smells of coffee and tastes of lemon meringue pie so strong its as if you’re actually there. Or the sense of the busy city with its traffic fullof noise and people. I also liked the contrast from the bright yellows of the past and the grey rains and blacks of the present to indicate her mood changes wonderfully written. The flashbacks worked well to display how things have changed and didn’t disrupt too much from the narrative of the present. Overall, a great read and I would give it four stars.

Rage is Book 1 in The Marcy Series by Linda Burson. This book had a lot of suspense in it. I didn’t like the character of Marcy I’m the book because I just felt like she caused her own issues. Just when you think her life is on track she causes more issues. Marcy is the owner of a coffee shop. She has been dating Brad for a very long time but they start to have problems because she has this rage in her and no one knows why. She just snaps at people for no reason. Brad basicallly tells her, she needs to seek help, or he is gone. Finally she decides to seek out professional help and that makes Brad very happy. They have great times together and then he decides to take their relationship to the next level. Marcy is over the moon with happiness. The reader is happy and thinks this book is on the right track. Marcy met a man named Liam when her and Brad were having some issues. Liam approaches Marcy after she is involved is a gas station robbery. Of course now that Marcy is happy with the way her life is going, something bad happens. Brad is away for work and keeps trying to reach Marcy but is unable to. She is to busy out all the time with Liam she forgets to charge her cell phone. This causes all sorts of trouble between Marcy and Brad.

Of course during their week together, they get romantically involved. During that time Brad is looking all over for her. When Marcy comes back home and speaks with Brad, je Fonda our about Liam.

Rage (The Macy Series book 1) by Linda Burson 4 Stars!!!!
I am so in a bad habit of reading books out of order in series and this one was no different. I have to admit that I still found things to be easy to follow. This is the first book in the series and I feel that it was a good chance to better get to grips with what I have already read of the series and a way to get a little more insight.
I really felt for Macy and I really was grateful for the chance to really get to understand and see what happened in her past and what brought her to be the Macy that I had read about. I really liked the opportunity to see how her and Brad began and what events really shaped what was to happen between them and how their relationship evolved. I also was grateful to help put the timeline together of how Liam entered her life and also watch that relationship evolve. The author really did a great unique job of setting the series off and I am glad that I am able to put a few pieces of the missing puzzle in the series together and really cannot wait to read more from this author.

Rage by Linda Burson is book one of The Marcy Series. This book is a suspenseful romance book.
Marcy has been suffering from nightmares and no matter what she does, they don’t stop. Marcy is presented an ultimatum- get help or be left by the person that should love her enough to stay. After a series of events, Marcy meets Liam and much to her surprise, realizes she may be falling in love with him. These feelings put Marcy in a tough spot and jealousy and uncertainty ensue.
This book was enjoyable to read. It didn’t feel predictable and I waited to see what would happen. I absolutely recommend this book!

Rage by Linda Burson a four-star read that will make you see red. This is the first novel in the Marcy series, I have read the series in the wrong order but have enjoyed them all for different reasons. This one was a little different and I struggled more at times with this one than some of the others. But that being said the story was good, and it shows us Marcy is a strong character and she shows usher strength of character that will surprise you at times, but it will also show you how great the writing and character development is by this author.

I have read this series out of order but even so I have thoroughly enjoyed the books that I have read however it was really nice to see where the story of Marcy started! Again as with the other books I have read by Ms Burson it was full of action and kept my interest from beginning to end. It was really interesting to see how the author has improved over the books, not that this one was bad, far from it, but you could see how her writing had moved on with each story. I really like Marcy she is such a great character to read about. She is quite a complex character that you really do have to get to know and understand. As I expected there were some great twists and turns and even though I have read later books in the series there were still some things that surprised me!! I will definitely be looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future.

Burson has a unique voice and way of storytelling that is engaging and thought provoking. I have actually read this series out of order (unintentionally) and am glad to finally see how it all begins. This page turner had a bit of a slow start at the very beginning but quickly picked up pace and set the stage for a great story and great series. Very enjoyable.

Marcy is a happy woman with a man she loves and a successful business who seems to develop anger issues out of the blue. Faced with getting help or losing her boyfriend, Marcy decides to get help and get to the bottom of her issues. I actually read the second book in this series first and I’m glad I did. This book for me moved very slow and it felt like it took me forever to read, not to mention the emotional back and forth with Brad will give you whip lash. Brad is not very likable in this book and I think he needs to work on his own issues. Book 2 definitely picks up and was better for me, so the series is worth the read.

Rage (The Marcy Series Book 1) By: Linda Burson 5 out of 5 stars
The story Rage (The Marcy Series Book 1) by Linda Burson is a book that I enjoyed reading. It is a story that draws you in and didn’t let me go until I have read the final page. It is a book that had my emotions going up and down the entire time I was reading it. I enjoyed reading about the characters of Marcy and Liam. Marcy is an intelligent, beautiful, and feisty woman. She runs a business and some of those who work with her are more like family than employees. The love of her life has given her an ultimatum to seek help for her anger, frustrations because of nightmares that she is having. She also is a woman who finds herself falling in love with Liam. Liam is a man who is on a quest to find those responsible for his family’s murder and finds an ally in Marcy. Liam’s character is mysterious and as the story unfolds I found myself with many questions about him. Marcy is conflicted and at times overwhelmed. Read this story for an emotional rollercoaster that will have you turning pages wondering what will happen next. There are other characters that are introduced in this story and many of them I enjoyed reading about and their interactions with Marcy. There is intense dialogue. I grew to care about Marcy and there are situations in which I could empathize with her and what she experiences. This is a wonderful book to read and one that will keep you reading far into the night to find out what happens. Recommended reading.

Her boyfriend and love of her life, Brad Preston, gives her an ultimatum: seek help, or he’s leaving. One dark, chilly evening after a terrible, emotional day, Marcy finds herself in the middle of a robbery and a gun to her head. After her stressful day, she snaps. Pushed over the edge, she finds herself attacking the gunman. The same night after this attempted robbery, Marcy meets Liam with whom she feels an inexplicable connection. After talking to Marcy, and she still having the raw edge of the evening with her, Liam convinces Marcy to join him on his quest to find his family’s murderers. As they delve into the dark world of revenge, Marcy’s life begins to fall apart. Before she realizes it, she falls in love with this mysterious stranger. The two of them become close and gradually allow light and love to envelop them.
Linda Burson, a native of Pennsylvania, but long time Connecticut resident, has been writing ever since she was given a writing assignment in school, at the age of eight. Later, as a teenager, she started out writing memoirs and attempted several nonfiction pieces.
After attending college, she worked in positions where she edited papers for others. She spent time pursuing other interests, and traveling. Much of Linda’s free time was spent reading mysteries, romance, and women’s contemporary novels.
After several attempts at writing nonfiction, but having life get in the way, she put her passion on hold again. She gave up writing to focus on raising her daughters, being a wife, running her own custom computerized embroidery business and taking care of her dog, a Lhasa Apso named Nathan.
After a serious bout of breast cancer, Linda eventually closed down her business after almost fifteen years. She decided it was time to attempt writing again. This time, however, with nothing to distract her, she decided on tackling fiction, a contemporary, commercial romance with a dark edge.
In January, 2013, she sat down with her laptop and started writing the first chapter. After a few more chapters, she began keeping notes about the details of her characters so she wouldn’t forget the important characteristics. The writing continued, and never stopped. Before she was aware of it, her idea of a single book turned into a trilogy, which turned into a much longer series called the MARCY SERIES. There are a total of 13 books in the series.
When asked about inspiration, Linda has this to say: “Nobody really inspired me to write, but I do remember my mother and father always saying ‘anything you put your mind to you can accomplish. Don’t ever let anyone tell you, you can’t do something.’ Having the support and encouragement of my family is also important.”
Linda is now in the process of writing a Contemporary Women’s Fiction novel. Also, in the works is anotherRomance Suspense. She is also editing Book 9 in the MARCY SERIES, which at this moment is titled, Forgivable Revenge.

Rage is the first book in the Marcy series by Linda Burson and there is a whole lot going on in this story, twist and turns at every step of the way. Just when you thought you knew what was happening BAM you were thrown for a loop. This is a romantic thriller full of action and drama, suspense and a whole lot of mystery and murder.
Marcy is plagued by horrible nightmares and rage and she doesn’t know why. Realising things are not as they seem Marcy knows she needs help. But when that helps comes Marcy finds herself in a fight for her own sanity and a path that she never expected.
If you like romances with a bit of danger, and suspense then this is one you should read.
