NEW RELEASE……..
Book #12 The Bradens, Love in Bloom Series #20
Only one woman could hurt ultra-alpha bad boy Jake Braden.
Only one woman can heal him.
Fiona Steele has arrived…
Fiona Steele has a great career, strong friendships, and a loving family. To an outsider, her life appears happy and fulfilling. But the one thing that’s missing is true love, and the only man Fiona wants is the one she can’t have, sinfully handsome and seductively intense Jake Braden—the man whose heart she broke, which she has regretted ever since.
As an LA stuntman, Jake Braden’s at the top of his game. He’s hired for all the best movies, hooks up with the hottest women, and lives an unencumbered lifestyle where his needs come first—and where he doesn’t have to examine his life too closely. Except when he visits his family in his close-knit hometown of Trusty, Colorado, where he spends his time avoiding Fiona—the only woman who knows who he really is.
When Fiona’s best friend is hired to act in Jake’s movie, Fiona jumps at the chance to try to win him back. There’s no denying the white-hot attraction burning between them. With every encounter, Fiona hopes Jake can’t resist falling back into the love they once shared. But her well-orchestrated rendezvous doesn’t go over well with the brooding heartthrob. Living in the fast lane is perfect for a guy who’s buried his emotions so damn deep he’s not sure he can remember how to feel—and he’s not sure he ever wants to.
THE BRADEN COUSINS are one of the newest additions to the LOVE IN BLOOM series.

review. This feeling was not based on my
not liking this book as that was far from the case. It was based on my doubts that I would be
able to write about another Melissa Foster book without repeating my thoughts
from previous reviews. I recently began
reading her books and I became hooked on her Love in Bloom and Seaside Secrets
series. I Have not had the chance to
read all the books in the Love in Bloom series, but those that I read I enjoyed
immensely. It was while reading these books that I was introduced to Jake
Braden and to say I was intrigued by him is an understatement. I could not wait
for his story to be written. As such I was glad for the opportunity to be a
part of this tour, which provided me with the chance to read and review
Crashing into Love.

ways. It was a welcome change to see the vulnerable side of the male
protagonist. It shows that men may appear like they are tough, but deep down
they are just as susceptible to emotional pain as their female
counterpart. Jake tried to get away from
his feelings for Fiona but it was a futile effort. I loved Fiona’s determination. She is willing
to fight for what she wants even if it meant facing rejection from the man she
loves. I loved that both parties
accepted that their love of sixteen years ago was not the same today. I love
that Jake is willing to change his risky ways. This proved how much he has
grown.

for Jake and Fiona. I loved every moment
spent reading and I believe this is a fitting end to what I consider to be a
great series. If you have never read
in then the Love in Bloom would be a great start.
