My True Love (The Steeles at Silver Island #2) by Melissa Foster ~ Book Review with Giveaway

 




Embracing Her Heart (The Montgomerys Book 1) by [Foster, Melissa]
NEW RELEASE........
Can a man who resents the hand he’s been dealt and a woman who spends her days grateful for every little thing find true love in each other’s arms—or are their differences stronger than both of them? Find out in this funny, sexy, heartfelt romance, and fall in love with Grant and Jules on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, and midnight rendezvous.

Even war heroes need a little help sometimes... 
After spending years fighting for his country and too damn long learning to navigate life with a prosthetic leg, Grant Silver returns to Silver Island to figure out a future he couldn’t fathom without fatigues and a gun in his hand. He’d almost forgotten how a man could suffocate from the warmth and caring community in which he’d grown up, and if that weren’t bad enough, his buddies’ beautiful and far-too-chipper younger sister won’t stop flitting into his life, trying to sprinkle happy dust everywhere she goes. 

As a cancer survivor, Jules Steele knows better than to count on seeing tomorrow. She doesn't take a single moment for granted, and she isn’t about to let a man who used to be charming and full of life waste the future he’s been blessed with. She's determined to get through to him, even if it takes a few steamy kisses... 

Discover the magic of New York Times bestseller Melissa Foster's writing and see why millions of readers have fallen in love with the Love in Bloom big-family romance collection. Love in Bloom novels are written to stand alone or may be enjoyed as part of the larger series, so dive right into this fun, sexy romance.

Tempted by Love (The Steeles at Silver Island, Book 1)
Enjoy heart-meltingly beautiful and toe-curlingly sexy romance in Tempted by Love, an emotionally riveting story about a man who has lost it all and carries a torturous secret, a divorced single mother who has everything to lose, and the little girl who helps them heal. Fall in love on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, midnight rendezvous, and the sexy, sharp-witted Steeles.

In TEMPTED BY LOVE… 
Years ago, bestselling author Jack “Jock” Steele lost his girlfriend and baby in a horrific accident that drove a wedge between Jock and his family, keeping him from sharing a devastating secret. An aging philanthropist saved him from the brink of despair, and for a decade Jock cared for his ailing friend who became his family. Now his friend has passed away and left him a fortune—on the condition that he publishes another book. Jock is floundering, unsure how to rebuild the life he’d walked away from, much less find his muse, have another relationship with a woman, or even think about having a family of his own. But he can’t get his sweet, sexy new friend, single-mother Daphne Zablonski out of his head, and her adorable toddler must know something he doesn’t, because she wraps her tiny fingers around his heart and won’t let go.

Daphne has been through the wringer with her ex-husband and doesn’t believe true love is in the cards for her. Friends she can handle, but letting a man see her mom bod naked? Especially someone as strikingly handsome and unbelievably sexy as Jock? No, thank you. Besides, she has a toddler to chase after and enough fictional boyfriends to fill her lonely nights. If only her book boyfriends could make her body tingle the way one look from her mysterious neighbor does.

As Jock and Daphne’s friendship turns to something too tempting to deny, their lives take an unexpected turn. Can a man who has lost everything find redemption with a woman who has everything to lose? And then there’s that secret…

Caught by Love (The Steeles at Silver Island, Book 3)
Fall in love on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, midnight rendezvous, and the sexy, sharp-witted Steeles. They have a penchant for pranks, a passion for loyalty, and a trunk full of secrets.

Archer Steele is one of the leading vintners on the East Coast. He’s arrogant, aggressive, and has never been interested in settling down, which is what makes his hookups with his sister’s beautiful blond best friend, hair and makeup artist Indi Oliver, the perfect escape. But Indi’s toying with moving to the island, and when she ends their no-strings trysts to focus on her business, Archer isn’t ready to let her go…

Very Emotional Read

I need to buy some stock in a tissue company because whenever I read a Melissa Foster book I usually go through quite a bit, with this book I used an entire box!!! 

I don't think I was ready for Grant, I knew enough about him to know that this was going to be an emotional read because of his time in the military and being injured but WOW his backstory goes MUCH deeper than that, so much deeper, and I just wasn't prepared for the emotions it drew from me. I think I am going to have to read a rom-com next just to balance things out. 😉

Jules is Little Miss Sunshine, and no I am not be sarcastic when I say that. She brightens up the room when she walks in, everyone loves her, and she has a cheerful personality that you just can't help gravitating towards. I for one would love to be friends with her, she is the person that goes out of her way to make everyone's day better. So isn't it fitting that Miss Sunshine and Mr. Grouch are perfect together, kind of like yin and yang.

Melissa Foster has a way of crafting a story that makes us feel as if we are a part of it. As we watch things unfold we have enough of a background on each of the characters that we are invested in their happiness which is why I get so emotional when I read her books. I laugh, I cry, and yes there are even a few times I may have yelled at my kindle, but I know no matter how many obstacles get in their way along their journey in the end we will be gifted with a happy ending.

NO SPOILERS but I want to say that one part towards the very end of the book had me in hysterics, if you enjoy practical jokes you are going to love this one! 
 
If you like Small Town Romances, Best Friends Sibling Romances, Emotional Reads, Military Romances, Steamy Romances, Age Gap Romances, or Contemporary Romances I highly recommend this book to you.

Happy Reading!!!
