NEWLY RELEASED........Book #5 The Bradens, Love in Bloom Series #8
Jack Remington lost his wife in a tragic accident, to which
he feels he is to blame. Running away
from his life, he opens a survivalist camp in the mountains of Canada.
Savannah Braden has just sworn off men after finding her
music star boyfriend cheating on her once again. She decides a survivalist camp in the middle
of nowhere is exactly what she needs to move on.
My Review:
I usually tell more about the story before I start my
review, but I truly felt that is all that needs to be told. Anyone who is familiar with this series or
Melissa Foster can tell where this is going, but OH MY….it was hot and fun
getting there.
Throughout the Snow Sisters Series, the men have been hot,
sexy and romantic. Jack is all those
things, but he is also rough and tough with a lot more baggage than the other
men. At first I had a hard time warming
up to Jack. He came across as rude,
obnoxious, and downright uncaring. Then
I started getting glimpses of his true self, the self from before the accident,
the self he has hidden so deep inside it had to claw its way back out. These glimpses warmed my heart for him. Whether he was able to stay with Savannah or
not I really wanted him to be happy again.
To understand it is called an accident for a reason and there was nothing
anyone could do to stop it and to make up with those closest to him.
Savannah is amazing.
Not many people can understand what Jack is going through and know the
right words to say and the right way to comfort him. At no point did she push him to move on, or
forget his wife. She had all the right
words to encourage him to make things right, but in his own time frame. I also enjoyed seeing how strong Savannah
was, standing up to a groveling ex who caused her nothing but heart ache without
knowing if Jack really was her happily ever after.
I am so glad that Savannah got her happily ever after; it’s
been a long time coming in this series.
Hugh is up next and I can hardly wait to read it. The Remington’s story will follow. Melissa Foster is amazing, she keeps coming
up with such different, but equally romantic and fun stories about each
character. This is a series I
recommend, but you can read any of the books as a standalone.
BURSTING WITH LOVE is part of the Love in Bloom series.
