Book #5 The Bradens, Love in Bloom Series #8

After having her heart broken by a country music star, Savannah Braden has sworn off men. She takes a break from her fast-paced Manhattan lifestyle for a weekend at a survivor camp to rebuild her confidence and readjust her priorities. But when she meets the handsome guide, Jack Remington, she’s drawn to everything about him—from his powerful physique to his brooding stare—despite the big chip on his shoulder. Powerless to ignore the heated glances and mounting sexual tension, Savannah begins to reassess her hasty decision.


After losing his wife in a tragic accident, Jack Remington found solace in the mountains of Canada. This solitary existence allows him to wallow in his guilt and punish himself for having made a decision that he believes cost his wife her life. He never expected to want to return to the life he once knew—but then again, he never expected to meet gorgeous, stubborn, and competitive Savannah Braden.

One passionate kiss is all it takes to crack the walls the two have built to protect themselves, and allow love to slip in. While Jack fights his way through his guilt, and struggles to get back into the lives of those he left behind, Savannah is there to help him heal, and together they nurture hope that they’ve finally found their forever loves.

BURSTING WITH LOVE is part of the Love in Bloom series.

Review:

Yea, it is finally Savannah's turn.  Melissa Foster has not disappointed with this new one.  I find it amazing how she can come up with so many great stories with different settings and story lines and still be such great stories that fit together.  There is always something to learn in her stories, some inner struggle or issue that her characters have to deal with.  With this one, Jack has to learn how to move on and quit blaming himself for his wife's death.

How can people move on after losing a loved one?  I have to admit that this is my biggest fear.  My husband has Marfan's and people with Marfan's have a life expectancy of about 45-50 years.  He is 48.  His mother and brother both died due to complication of Marfan's at 48 and 42 respectively.  Anyway, this book gives me hope that I will survive, not that I think I will ever find someone that I will love and care about as much as my hubby.  However, this book really does gives me hope that there will be a life if something ever does happen.  Bursting with Love does reintegrate the notion that you need to tell those you love how much they mean to you and that you love them each and every time you can.  You never know what may happen.

The love that Savannah and Jack have for each other is just wonderful, and a great way to introduce the Remington's, the next family in the Love in Bloom series.  It really is kind of an opposites attract, even though they do have a lot in common, too.  Melissa Foster pulls you into this story from page one.  If you are anything like me, once you pick up the book, you won't be able to put it down.  I really can't believe how hooked I have become on a romance series.

Before I started this series, I hadn't read any romance novels in years because they just all seemed like formula, smut filled books.  Well, Melissa Foster has changed my outlook completely with her books.  There seems to be so much more depth to her books.  There is always something that speaks to me, and something that I learn.  I can't even begin to describe how much I am in love with this series.  I am hooked.  In fact, I've had to limit myself on reading these books.  Melissa Foster always includes a sneak peek at her next book.  I won't let myself read these anymore because then I will move on as soon as I can and ignore all of the work I need to do.

If you are looking for a romance novel that has depth, then this book is for you.  In fact, I would prefer to just call her books dramatic novel with a bit of romance because there is so much more than romance.  The great thing with these books is that you don't have to read the whole series to understand what is going on.  On that note, though, I strongly urge you to read the whole series.  All of the books are great.  I give this book 5 stars.  Parents need to be aware that there is adult content in this book that is not appropriate for all ages.  Adults, go get this book, and prepare to snuggle down with a great book that you won't be able to put down.

Handsome, wealthy resort owner Treat Braden is used to getting what he wants. When Max Armstrong walked into his life six months earlier, he saw right through the efficient and capable façade she wore like a shield, to the sweet, sensual woman who lay beneath. She sparked an unfamiliar desire in him for more than a one-night stand, leaving his heart reeling and his blood boiling. But one mistake caused her to turn away, and now, after six months of longing for the one woman he cannot have, he’s going home to try to forget her all together.

Max Armstrong has a successful career, a comfortable lifestyle, and she’s never needed a man to help her find her way—until Treat Braden caught her attention at a wedding in Nassau, causing a surge of emotions too reminiscent of the painful past she’d spent years trying to forget. Max will do anything to avoid reliving that pain—including forgoing her toe-curling, heart-pounding desire for Treat.

When a chance encounter turns into a night of intense passion, Treat realizes that the mistake he made six months earlier may cause him to lose Max completely. He will do everything within his power to win her heart forever—and Max is forced to face her hurtful past head on for the man she cannot help but love.

Rex Braden is wealthy, hard working, and fiercely loyal. Sweat at his brow, he works the family ranch by day, then kicks back at night with part time lovers who require nothing more than his physical presence a few times each week. But that was before. Before Jade Johnson, the daughter of the man his father has been feuding with for over forty years, moves back into town.

After ditching a horrific relationship—and her veterinary practice in the process—Jade Johnson returns to the safety of her small hometown and finally finds her footing.

Fifteen years of stifled, forbidden love stirs a surge of passion too strong for either to deny—and the rebel in each of them rears its powerful head.

Sea of Love


You fell in love with Lacy Snow in Sisters in White (Snow Sisters, Book Three).  Follow her on her path to her forever love in Sea of Love.

Lacy Snow wasn’t looking for love when she met strikingly handsome and seductive Dane Braden.

As founder of the Brave Foundation, Dane Braden travels from port to port, educating and advocating on behalf of the mammals he adores—and spends his nights finding solace in the arms of strangers. The last thing Dane was looking for when he met Lacy Snow was a relationship, and the last thing he expected was to fall in love.

Fifteen months—and hundreds of flirty emails, steamy phone calls, and sensual video chats—later, they reunite and take passion to a whole new level. But as Lacy’s phobia meets Dane’s past love life, their steamy romance is upended, and when tragedy strikes, Dane and Lacy are forced to face their deepest fears head-on as they try to navigate their own sea of love.
