Love hot cowboys?
Rex Braden is wealthy, hard working, and fiercely loyal. Sweat at his brow, he works the family ranch by day, then kicks back at night with part time lovers who require nothing more than his physical presence a few times each week. But that was before. Before Jade Johnson, the daughter of the man his father has been feuding with for over forty years, moves back into town.
… town.
After ditching a horrific relationship — and her veterinary practice in the process — Jade Johnson returns to the safety of her small hometown and finally finds her footing. That is… until her horse is injured and Rex Braden comes to her rescue. The last thing she needs is a bull-headed, too-handsome-for-his-own-good Braden complicating her life.
Despite the angry family history, sparks fly between Rex and Jade, and attitudes follow. Fifteen years of stifled, forbidden love stirs a surge of passion too strong for either to deny — and the rebel in each of them rears its powerful head. Loyalties are tested, and relationships are strained. Rex and Jade are about to find out if true love really can conquer all.

Destined for Love
Love in Bloom, Volume 5 (The Bradens, Book 2)
By: Melissa Foster
Narrated by: B.J. Harrison
These Braden men are going to be the end of me. Each time I meet a new one, I swear he is my favorite, and this one is no exception! Rex is somewhat of broody cowboy. Always interested in Jade Johnson, the daughter of his father’s …
This was a nice romance. I enjoyed meeting the Braden family earlier in the previous book in this series so I was looking forward to Rex’s story. There are some familiar characters in this book for fans of the series but this book would work well as a stand-alone as well. I had a really good time watching Jade and Rex fall for each other in …
Very shocked
Sexy Rexy, Jade and Fate – Audiobook Review
I enjoyed learning the story of the feud between the Bradens and the Johnsons and the past between Rex and Jade. Jade has a great fierceness to her and Rex has a sweetness to him, which makes them great together as they try to have a Forbidden romance together. I enjoyed following them through their …
Ok read fell short good plot. Has a juvenile connection. Was tired of the our family don’t want us together, but their grown adults. Skipped pages. I usually enjoy Miss Foster books this one was not for me.
Destined for Love is book #5 in the Love in Bloom series and is book #2 in the Bradens at Weston. CO series but can be read as a standalone.
Two star crossed lovers kept apart by a family feud.
A hard working cowboy who’s kept the family ranch running successfully, Rex Braden has reached a crossroad in his life. Tired of settling for part time …
A lovely story of two star crossed lovers. Jade is a wonderful woman burned in love……Rex is a homebody who never found the right girl……or he did long ago and never acted on it. Their chance to make them both happy is full of drama and fun times. A great story but I’m not thrilled with the narrator. I sometimes have a hard time with a …

Overall 4 out of 5 stars
Performance 3 out of 5 stars
Story 4 out of 5 stars
I got answers to questions from the first in the Braden series. I wanted to know what bothered Rex so much that he was so bottled tight. I found a man that had so much put on his shoulders as a child, a teen, and then …
Loved the family aspect and the unexpected twist.
A wonderful love story of families coming together.
Destined for Love was another great read by Melissa Foster. Rex Braden works hard on his family ranch during the day. He has always just had physical relationships but never close enough for an emotional one. But Jade Johnson changes when she moves back into town. The only thing in their way was the fact that their father’s have been feuding for …

Why is the forbidden always so tempting? Rex & Jade are on separate sides of a long running family feud. However, the chemistry & attraction between them is too strong to ignore. With their ranches sharing common borders, a small town, shared friends, and the land at the center of the feud right in the middle, Rex & Jade are being pulled from all …
Destined For Love is super sweet, super hot small town country romance. The forbidden aspect was a feud between two families that had gone on way too long and needed a bit of shaking up.
Jade Johnson and Rex Braden know they shouldn’t be attracted to each other. But when the attraction is just too strong to resist, it might be the only thing that …
