Destined for Love
Book #2 The Bradens, Love in Bloom Series #5
You met Rex Braden in Lovers at Heart, Book One of the The Bradens (Love in Bloom Series). Jade Johnson is about to turn his comfortable rancher’s life upside down. Don’t miss this powerful love story.
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. That is…until her horse is injured and Rex Braden comes to her rescue. The last thing she needs is a bull-headed, too-handsome-for-his-own-good Braden complicating her life.
Despite the angry family history, sparks fly between Rex and Jade, and attitudes follow. 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. Loyalties are tested, and relationships are strained. Rex and Jade are about to find out if true love really can conquer all.
DESTINED FOR LOVE is part of the 9 book Love in Bloom series.

My Review:
I nearly didn’t read this book, a series seems to always flop after a few books, but this one sure did not! No, it certainly didn’t. I fell in love with all the characters and held my breath between page turns just waiting for what else would come. Foster has truly made me a top fan, the words were flying off the pages and I finished this book within two days.
Destined for Love begins on the Branden Ranch which just happens to be a rival ranch owned by the Johnson family. You will meet Jade Johnson in this book as she flees from a horrible relationship and leaves her job. Upon arriving on the ranch things kick up a notch as rivals pretty much clash from the start, but here’s the thing- there’s something stirring between Jade and Rex. Despite the nasty war between families which has been going on for about forty years, there’s no denying the sparks flying between the two.
From the moment Rex and Jade collided in the book I was truly hooked. Their story flows and sizzled with each turn of the page. You’ve got two strong headed people, both not really looking for any sort of relationship but sure do find it and through heated pages you are left with the question of all times- can true love conquer all? Will the families finally see eye to eye and end the war? You’ll have to read the book to find out.
If you enjoy a hot steamy read with a little intrigue and drama you’ll enjoy Destined for Love by Melissa Foster. You can read all the books in this series as a stand alone, but I highly recommend reading them all!

Book #4 The Bradens, Love in Bloom Series
Lovers at Heart
You met Treat Braden and Max Armstrong in Sisters in White, Book Three of the Snow Sisters (Love in Bloom Series). Now fall in love with Treat and Max all over again, and see where their hearts take them next.
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.
