Book Review - Lovers at Heart by Melissa Foster, Book #1 The Bradens, Love in Bloom Series #4

Our Book Review
The author said to buckle up for an emotional ride and that is exactly what you get as the attraction between two gorgeous people sets to spark and ignite.  You certainly feel the heat and intensity as you read their journey.  I have to say that I am not a massive romance reader as the stories I have read in the past tend to be too shallow, Melissa Foster has changed my thoughts completely.  Not only is this hot romance intense and a page turner it has depth to the story, the characters actually have real personalities and believable issues that you can possibly relate to.

The story follows the dashing Treat Braden, a wealthy resort owner, and the attractive Max Armstrong, an events manager, who fall heavily in love at first sight, although due to past inner issues cannot freely give themselves and wrongly second guess what each other is thinking or feeling.  The grief from loosing his mother when he was younger still haunts Treat and he believes he is never going to allow himself to be hurt like that again.  Can Max change all that?  Max has also built walls around herself after a verbally and physically past relationship?  Can Treat persuade her that he will always love and protect her?

Two passionate people, so in love with each other, both wanting to share their passion with each other, can they resolve their issues and let themselves find happiness with each other?

I enjoyed the way the author gives the thoughts from both perspectives throughout the story.  I have to admit that I would have loved to be part of the Braden family, with the family bond between them all, headed by their father Hal.  Yes they have their typical family squabbles but deep down knowing that they are all there for each other no matter what.

A thoroughly enjoyable, sensual and visual read.  I was completely pulled into their 'will they, won't they' relationship and cannot wait to read the next book in the series.
