5 STARS!

In this 3rd book of The Bradens at Peaceful Harbor series, Melissa Foster continues to weave a magical story of a close knit family living life to it’s fullest and finding love along the way! This time it’s Sam Braden who gets bowled over by a beautiful woman catching his eye.

Sam is the ultimate ladies man!  He is a hot, handsome hunk of a man and is never hurting for female companionship.  He works hard at the rafting and adventure company that he owns, and he plays even harder.  He’s not looking for anything in life but to have a good time.

Faith Hayes is fairly new to town and is enjoying working for Sam’s brother Cole and his partner as their Physician’s Assistant.  She also works hard to help others through a support group that she started after her life plans disintegrated in front of her.

When Sam can’t seem to get Faith out of his thoughts, he decides to campaign for a date. She shuts him down quicker than he can turn around, but he’s persistent and eventually makes her see that he’s not the dog she thinks he is.  Can he gain her trust enough to actually make that relationship that he never knew he wanted work out?

River of Love
The Bradens at Peaceful Harbor #3
By: Melissa Foster

Releasing April 20, 2016
World Literary Press

BLURB:

 Fall in love with Sam Braden in the Bradens of Peaceful Harbor. Hot, sexy, & wickedly naughty second cousins to the Weston, Colorado Bradens we know and love.

 River rafting and adventure company owner Sam Braden works hard and plays harder. He’s fast, focused, and determined—and never at a loss for a willing woman to share his time with. The trouble is, the only woman he wants refuses him at every turn.

Physician assistant Faith Hayes escaped her painful past and built a safe, happy life in Peaceful Harbor. She’s also put what she’s learned to good use helping others by founding Women Against Cheaters, an online support group. When her boss’s sinfully sexy brother sets his sights on sweet Faith, she knows the self-professed player is everything she shouldn’t want, and she’s determined to resist him.

Sam pulls out all the stops, proving to Faith that his past doesn’t have to define his future. As she lets down her guard and begins to trust Sam, intense conversations turn to intimate pleasures. But when real life steps in and their pasts collide, it’s Faith who’s left with something to prove.

Return of the Bad Boy
Second Chance #4
By: Jessica Lemmon

Releasing April 26, 2016
Forever

BLURB:

He’s a mess…

Asher Knight has three constants in his life: music, beautiful women, and a bottle of Jack. He lives for the next gig, the next city, and dreams only of a life spent in front of an arena full of screaming fans. But Asher’s nomad ways come to a sudden stop when he learns he’s the father of a three-year-old from a past relationship and suddenly this rock star bad boy is forced to put down roots.

Only she can clean up

Gloria Shields is no one’s fool. Sure, the sexual chemistry between her and Asher has always been intense, but she’d never risk giving her heart to a man who has a perfect record for breaking them. Except the man desperate to make things right with his newfound son is nothing like the rock god she’s guarded her heart against for years. And it isn’t long before she starts to wonder if life with this bad boy might be the best thing that’s ever happened to her.

EXCERPT:

“Listen, Asher”—she cleared her throat and tore her eyes away from his biceps, which were absolutely delicious and testing the limits of his T-shirt in the most distracting way possible—“I don’t know what you think you’re doing—”

“No, you listen.” He palmed her hip much like Brice had earlier, but unlike Brice, when Asher touched her, her nipples perked up and every inch of her grew warm. Asher’s nearness, one hand gripping her firmly as he looked down at her with dark hunger in his eyes, was so hot she couldn’t think.

The crowd milling around them were having loud, drunken conversations, so he lowered his face to her ear to speak.

“I’m coming for you, Sarge.” His hand moved from her hip to her lower back, his fingers splaying wide and slipping beneath the material of her shirt. “Bet you’ve never had anyone come for you, have you?” His nose moved along her ear, warm breath tickling her skin. “Bet you were a rebellious teen with a nose ring and a bad attitude and all you wanted was to feel good.”

No nose ring, but the rest was scarily accurate.

“Well, guess what, honey?” he continued, his fingertips sizzling on her bare skin. “I’m going to make you feel good. I’m the only one who can.”

He pulled his face away and she had to will her mouth to close. Her teeth clacked together as her brain scrambled to figure out what part she should argue with first. Wrenching a fist around his T-shirt, she tugged him close. A small smile played on his mouth, and his hand went higher beneath her shirt. He was anticipating a kiss, but she wasn’t going to kiss him.

“Listen up, you arrogant bastard.” Anger vibrated through her arms and a charge shot from her toes to the crown of her head. “You don’t get to claim me. I’m not your property. I can do whatever I want.” Because she wanted to wipe that stupid smirk off his face, she added, “And I can do whomever I want.”

His lips flinched, but he didn’t back away, stepping even closer and touching the tip of her nose with his. Her vision was now swimming in dark hair, dark eyes, and the sexiest smirk she’d ever seen.

It’s not sexy. It’s stupid, remember?

But it wasn’t. And the rest of her knew it. Her nipples tightened, her body tingled, and the hand she’d wrapped around his shirt began to sweat…

“You do me, Sarge. No one else,” he said.

“I’m not”—she had to swallow around a very dry throat to finish—“doing you.”

“Brice McGuire doesn’t know how to make your body sing. I do.” He slid his nose along hers and moved his hand from her back to her hair. She shivered. “Want me to make your body sing, Sarge?”

If pulling on my heartstrings was Coleen Kwan’s goal when writing this book, she succeeded!  It’s your typical sweet “friends to lovers” trope, but there are several emotional pulls throughout this story that made it go the extra mile for me … the awkwardness a lot of us have felt in life about not fitting in, the sadness of seeing how her family treats her, the strength she had to have to pursue her own life after her dreams were shattered, etc.  I thoroughly enjoyed it and pulled for Cassie the whole way!

Cassie Cooper returns to town for a family function, and takes the opportunity to reconnect with her best friend from college, Kirk Rochester.  They were as close as could be for years and years, until he got married and she moved away.  Now they keep in touch, but it’s more awkward than it used to be.

Kirk came from family money, but he never flaunted it and lived a normal life when they were roommates in college.  Now he’s working for the family business and has a big deal he wants to close, but he has one little problem … he needs a fake girlfriend to make it happen!  He has lived a carefree life since his not-so-happy marriage ended, so he doesn’t have anyone on the horizon to fill the card, so when Cassie comes to town, he asks her!

Cassie has wanted Kirk to notice that she’s a woman instead of “just one of the guys” for years, so she reluctantly agrees to help him.  Will seeing her in girlfriend mode make him wake up and see what’s been right in front of his face for all these years?
