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...

Guest book review by Carly Louise Wilson

My True Love is the exciting second book in the Steele’s at Silver Island series by Melissa Foster, and I was lucky to receive a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Every time I think Foster has excelled herself, she conjures two more equally charming and fascinating characters for me to become obsessed with, and from the moment I heard about Grant Silver and Jules Steele, I knew this book was going to be special.

Grant is an ex soldier, who was wounded at war and has returned to Silver Island. He is brooding, angry at life and his situation, and feels like he’s had his dream and future cruelly snatched away from him. He’s reclusive, avoids socialising and is very much determined to leave the island as soon as he’s able to figure out a plan. But like all good romances, there’s a darling heroine in the form of Jules Steele to twist and change his mind.

Jules is a ray of sunshine, she’s an eternal optimist and a true-to-life pixie who casts a magical spell on Grant and enchants him. She is desperate for Grant to see all he has left in his life, reminding him of how much his family care about him, and how much she enjoys spending time with him. She decides in true pixie fashion to leave him little gifts, attempting to coax him back into the hobbies and pastimes he’s loved. It’s sweet and endearing and creates a real depth to their romance.

I loved the sweet romantic tension between Grant and Jules. It felt like both were physically missing a part of themselves to be able to emotionally be whole with one another. Grant allows his walls to fall, and Jules fully opens her heart and trusts him to do right by her. She doesn’t see his injury or his disability, she sees a man she loves, and their love is deep and meaningful in all the best ways.

Grant and Jules are both inspirational characters in their own right, one an amputee struggling to come to terms with a new way of living, the other a cancer survivor who knows how important life can be and is determined to grasp it in both hands and not dwell on the negatives. This book left me with that all encompassing warm fuzzy feeling and I was completely smitten with their love story.

This is the perfect read for those who love real intricate and heartfelt romances, and not to mention on fire chemistry. Connections run deep in all of Foster’s books, and once you read one I can guarantee you will end up binge reading.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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…
