My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4 R’s: Roped, Rescued, Risked, Romanced by Julie Castle. This is an amazing boxed set. 4 different books in one that will keep you reading late in the night. The first book is Roped (Fools Gold) and its so good. Its the story of Sarah and Rafe who fall in love and are set to get married. Sarah finds a note on their wedding night and takes off. She comes back months later to try to fix Rafe’s reputation. Will they be able to make it work this time around? The 3rd book Serena’s Web (Risked) is another favorite and its about Serena who is a single mom and has an abusive ex husband and when her dad’s house gets broken into she automatically assumes its her ex. When they report it to the police they really don’t want to help them. Mark an FBI agent wants nothing to do with Serena but he’s finally willing to help them and not only does he have a very dangerous man he’s working on finding he’s also got Serena’s ex to worry about. This is a fun sit on the edge of your seat thriller that will keep you guessing til the end! Do yourself a favor and read this fun book set! It’s so good!
