I have just finished reading the 3rd book in this series, Gabe. I HIGHLY recommend this series. The start of the series briefly introduces the main characters and why their lives are coming together. Each book then well defines a specific individual, career, upbringing, strengths, and weaknesses, and love relationships. I particularly like that the books are not cliffhangers for the individual character. However, there is an overall plot developing through the books which includes Intrigue, Twists & Turns, Family Ties, Development of New Relationships, and (of course) Love & Sex.
