Book #3 The Bradens, Love in Bloom Series #6

You met Josh and Riley in Destined for Love (The Bradens, Book Two). Follow these two young lovers to New York and see what fate has in store for them.

Small-town overachiever Riley Banks has finally scored her big break—working in Manhattan as a fashion design assistant for her childhood crush, Josh Braden. She enters her new job hoping to make a name for herself and—just maybe—explore the romance that slipped through her fingers way back when.

Josh Braden has models at his beck and call, a staff that never says never, and an elegant clothing line for the holiday season. When he hires Riley Banks, he expects her to learn the business from the ground up. But the girl next door turns out to be much more than he remembered.

Josh and Riley’s friendship heats up. Every steamy kiss and every erotic caress stirs a love they cannot deny. But when Riley designs a wedding gown that would cause even the most jaded fashion editors to swoon, Riley’s mentor accuses her of stealing the design.

Facing indisputable proof and the mistrust of her lover, Riley is not sure she can take the heat of life in the fast lane of the fashion industry—and Josh is forced to choose between the woman he loves and the career he adores.

FRIENDSHIP ON FIRE is part of the 9 book Love in Bloom series.

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

My Thoughts:

Another Melissa Foster book. Another

Love in Bloom

book. Another Braden brother.

What do you expect me to say!?

I love Melissa. I love the

Love in Bloom

series. I more than love the Braden brothers.

I was super excited to see that Friendship on Fire was about Josh and Riley. We kind of left off from them in the last book and I was longing to see what would happen (I secretly thought Josh was gay because they even said he never talks about women or dates, but I am so glad I was wrong!)

There was no waiting for the heat in this one which was great, but I have to be honest – I am getting a little tired of these gals second guessing these gorgeous men. I mean, I get that they are not realistic in my world, but honey, when you have a fine specimen of a man as any of these Braden boys who are graveling at your feet – you take it and run with it!

In the last book, Riley was giving Jade relationship advice regarding Rex and now Jade is giving back the same advice. It makes you want to reach through the book and grab Riley by the shoulders to wake her up! But the prediciment she is in and the scandal they are trying to prevent is understandable.

The only thing I can tell you is that this is another fabulous Melissa Foster book that I highly recommend. Like the others, you can read this as a stand alone, but I promise you, it’s much more enjoyable to read them all!

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.
