Some fates are too tempting to deny…

In ALWAYS HER LOVE


"I'm pregnant. It’s yours. I’m having it, and unless you want it, I’m putting it up for adoption.” Those were the words that changed Levi Steele’s life before he was even legally allowed to drink. There was never any question about whether he would keep his daughter, and eight years later, he doesn’t have a single regret. He owns a successful contracting company, he’s part of the Dark Knights motorcycle club, and Joey’s happiness is his top priority. None of that would be possible without the help of Joey’s beautiful and selfless aunt Tara, who’s going to be staying with them over spring break and who he’s been thinking about in ways he shouldn’t. But Tara’s older sister is Joey’s birth mother, and she’s the last woman the dirty-talking biker should want to get his hands on.


Tara Osten has been crushing on Levi for as long as she can remember. He’s a loving father, a loyal friend, someone with whom she can always be herself, and six-plus feet of deliciously hard, tattooed muscle. At twenty-four, she’s finally realized he will never see her as more than his baby mama’s younger sister. It’s time to let go of her lustful fantasies starring Levi Steele and move on with her life. Step one: Buy her own place and start dating. Step two: Survive spring break without falling harder for the one man she can never have.

My Thoughts:


When I read the upcoming blurb for this book many months ago, the part "the one man she could never have" stuck in my thoughts. Oh, I knew she would eventually have him, but never did I anticipate the enthralling, exciting, and heart-pounding way that Melissa Foster would deliver it. HOLY SMOKES!


I understand the hesitation giving that Tara is Joey's aunt, but when the heart finds its perfect match, there is no denying nor fighting what plays out. Levi's feelings were obviously always there, but he puts up limitations on what he can feel for Tara - even if he doesn't realize it at first. Once the blinders are taken off, this couple creates so much heat that if you're wearing glasses, you might have to take them off to de-fog a time or two.


Joey is the sweetest and has such a fun personality. I love that she's not shoved into a certain mold and allowed to freely express herself. She adds numerous laughable moments, as well as those times when your heart is squeezed in anguish for the sweet girl and what she experiences.


Tara's sister, Amelia, is a real piece of work, but I love how adult both Levi and Tara are when dealing with her by placing boundaries, while still allowing Joey to have contact with her. What she pulls is dirty, conniving, and UGH! I love how some characters transition into treating Tara the way she should have always been treated.


After reading this, you will never look at an eclair or a cupcake the same way without thinking of Levi Steele's sexy moves!


I received a complimentary copy for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.

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…

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.

They’re like oil and water, and he gets on her last nerve. But after a few tequila shots, that’s not all he gets on.
