In DREAMING OF LOVE…
.
Emily Braden is a leader in architectural preservation, a pillar in her small hometown, and successful in everything she does–with the exception of finding true love. She’s … architectural preservation, a pillar in her small hometown, and successful in everything she does–with the exception of finding true love. She’s watched several of her brothers fall in love, and she needs this trip to Tuscany to get away from it all and to stop focusing on what she doesn’t have.
Dae Bray doesn’t do flings, and he never stays in one place for very long. As a demolitionist, he goes where jobs take him, and the more often he travels, the better. His trip to Tuscany is all work–until he meets smart and sexy Emily, who makes him reconsider his fear of settling down, his no-fling rule–and just about everything else he’s ever believed about himself.
Passion sizzles as Dae and Emily explore the history and beauty of Tuscany. Their romance moves beyond tourist attractions to the bedroom, blossoming into a deep connection neither can deny. But their worlds collide when Emily wants to preserve the property that Dae is there to demolish. Can a woman who sees the beauty in preservation and a man whose life is spent tearing things down find a solid foundation for their love?

“Like Nora Roberts, Melissa Foster has captivated me with her fantastic, sexy, romantic stories.” Kimberly Winning, avid reader
.
“Sensual, sexy, and satisfying. A captivating blend of the dance between lust, love, and life.” — Bestselling author, Keri Nola
BJ Harrison knocks it out of the park again with his mad narrating skills as Melissa Foster does the same with her writing on this wonderful tale about falling in love in Italy. I love all things Braden, so of course I think Emily is awesome. But Dae, wow, I can’t think of a better word for him than DREAMY. Loved the story line, the ease at which these two connected and just knew but how they still faced some dilemmas. I also loved the look into Tuscany, it’s culture and the people they get close to while there. And of course I adore Emily and Dae, and the Braden clan.
Audio/Ebook Review: Dreaming of Love (The Bradens at Trusty #5; The Bradens #11; Love in Bloom #20) by Melissa Foster (author), B.J. Harrison (narrator)
Dutiful daughter, trusted friend, loyal sister and obvious romantic. It feels like I’ve been waiting forever for Emily Braden to find her Prince Charming. Surprisingly, it wasn’t how I thought it would be. Dreaming of Love is the story of two dreamers in desperate need of a wake up call. Foster puts Emily on a collison course with heartache in the form of Dae Bray. He’s the antithesis of everything Emily believes in. Yet, the heart wants what it wants. Their path is paved with the battle scars of heartbreak and the guiding light of compromise. Out of the collateral damage comes the hope for something more. Although I enjoy listening to Mr. Harrison wax poetic, I was hoping that the audio would give two points of view, in two different voices. I got more than I ever expected, but was still hoping for a little bit more.
Emily and Dae – Swoon-worthy! – Audiobook Review
I loved Emily and Dae’s story! This is such a great series, and this is a very sweet and romantic romance for Emily. Dae is a man that any woman would want to fall for her and spend the rest of her life with. There are some differences in their lives, and they have to spend some time working through them, but this is another wonderful Braden story. The only thing that I wished for in this story, is for more interaction when the brothers actually met Dae with Emily. That is always the theme of these stories, and I missed that in this story. It was still a great story and I look forward to my next Melissa Foster story because I always feel like I need to be listening to one of her stories all the time because they are so great. B.J.’s narration was great in the story.
This is the fifth book in The Bradens at Trusty Series, in the amazing World of the Love in Bloom Series. I love this Series. Emily and Dae’s story is sweet, romantic, passionate, and heartwarming. BJ Harrison did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, Crashing into Love.
I will read anything by this author! All of her books have terrific characters and engaging plots. Love the steamy romantic stuff also!
Love all her books ! Series etc…
Dreaming of Love is the fifth book in the Braden’s at Trusty series but can definitely be read as a standalone. The story mainly takes place in Tuscany where Emily Braden is vacationing thanks to a gift from her brother.
Emily has loved seeing her brothers find their true loves and soulmates but despairs ever finding that for herself.
The story (and setting) is romantic, swoony and hot, hot, Hot! It also deep and touching as Emily and Dae Bray have to find a middle ground to land on when they are on complete opposite sides of an ideal.
“You’re no longer possibly mine. You’re not even my sure thing,” she whispered. “You’re my everything.”
I love listening to these stories on audiobook and really enjoy this narrator.
-4 Stars!-
Love this author. She hasn’t written a book yet that I didn’t enjoy thoroughly and this one doesn’t disappoint!
Another awesome book Melissa! Just loved it.
As always Melissa did not disappoint. One of my favorite authors.
