Blurb:

MARIE is just getting started as a sportswriter so she really shouldn't fall for her first subject, the newly-drafted quarterback.

Review:
This complete set of novellas is a pretty easy read and each book doesn't take too much time either, which is great for me! There are 5 Carmichael sisters and they were born into a very privileged family. Dad is a Senator who decides to run for president. Honestly, I didn't expect the first book to go the way it did. And this may be a bit of a spoiler but frankly the other four books are built off of this one big freak accident: their parents die in an accident. Much of the other books revolve not only around their relationships with the men in their lives, but dealing with loss and how to keep the family close. Each daughter brings a different dynamic to the family and I loved how close they were even though they were living so far apart. I wasn't really a big fan of Corinne, the oldest. And each book ended kind of abruptly. But together they make a very good set! 4 out of 5 stars!
