Sea of Love (Love in Bloom: The Bradens, Book 4) Book Review and Giveaway

January 22, 2014

 


NEWLY RELEASED……..

Book #4 The Bradens, Love in Bloom Series #7

You fell in love with Lacy Snow in Sisters in White (Snow Sisters, Book Three). Follow her on her path to her forever love in Sea of Love.

Lacy Snow wasn’t looking for love when she met strikingly handsome and seductive Dane Braden. But how could she ignore the six-foot-three darkly handsome god who tagged and researched sharks for a living—and made every nerve in her body tangle into an overly sensitive knot? Even her fear of sharks could not suppress their intense attraction.

As founder of the Brave Foundation, Dane Braden travels from port to port, educating and advocating on behalf of the mammals he adores—and spends his nights finding solace in the arms of strangers. The last thing Dane was looking for when he met Lacy Snow was a relationship, and the last thing he expected was to fall in love.

Fifteen months—and hundreds of flirty emails, steamy phone calls, and sensual video chats—later, they reunite and take passion to a whole new level. But as Lacy’s phobia meets Dane’s past love life, their steamy romance is upended, and when tragedy strikes, Dane and Lacy are forced to face their deepest fears head-on as they try to navigate their own sea of love.

SEA OF LOVE is part of the Love in Bloom series.  

**CONTENT WARNING: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18+**

My Review-

I want to be Melissa Foster’s book tester- you know like the kitchen helper you get to taste the first batch of whatever is cooking? Yeah, I’d like to be the first to read whatever Foster whips up for writing. Really, I’m not sure how she’d go wrong really. With that being said, I will say book 4 in the Love in Bloom series – Sea of Love is wonderful!

Dane Braden and Lacy Snow met at a cousin’s wedding in a previous book ( don’t worry all books are stand alone , you will enjoy) After the wedding, Lacy and Dane have kept up in contact spend the next fifteen months – yeah 15!- keeping in touch . I love that it’s made this way, in this day an age everyone is on the phone, computer and technology can bring two people together, well Foster made it happen! During these months they grow as close as possibly from a distance, really getting to know each other and feeling their way until they get to meet face to face again at another wedding. There’s just no way to miss the passion between the two, it just grows stronger page to page.

Dane loves risks, tall dark and handsome along with risks, come on what’s not to love? Who’s to blame Lacy for falling for him ? Problem is, Dane’s passion has him off studying the very thing that scares Lacy who is dealing with her own passion. Working hard to get promoted it only adds another challenge between the two. Can they work through the obstacles? Or will another fifteen long months separate the two- or worse , will it end things all together? You’ll have to read it to find out.

Foster really kept this book true to life, the hardships, how they had to work at things . That’s always important to me, people are changing from day to day experiences change you so when it’s brought to words in a book it always grabs me.  There’s nothing lacking in this story from beginning to end Foster always deliveries!

Sisters In Love

DANICA SNOW has always been the smart, practical, and appropriate sister. As a therapist, she prides herself on making reasonable, conservative choices, even if a bit boring, and as part of the Big Sister Program, she has little time for anything more in her life. 



BLAKE CARTER is a player. He never gets bored of conquering women, and with his sexy good looks and successful lifestyle, he has no trouble finding willing participants. When his friend and business partner dies in a tragic accident, he suddenly, desperately, wants to change his ways. The problem is, he doesn’t know how to stop doing what he does best. 



WHEN BLAKE walks into Danica’s office, the attraction between them is white hot, but Danica isn’t the type to give into the heat and risk her career. Danica’s desire sets her on a path of self-discovery, where she begins to question every decision she’s ever made. Just this once, Danica wants to indulge in the pleasures of life she’s been so willingly ignoring, but with her Little Sister in turmoil and her biological sister’s promiscuousness weighing heavily on her heart, she isn’t sure it’s the right time to set her desires free.

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.

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.
