He’s tantalizing trouble she can’t resist… he’s never met, Mitch is everything she never thought she wanted—and suddenly everything she craves.
Finding his half brothers after all these years is more than Mitch Crews has allowed himself to wish for. Finding love never even crossed his mind…until he meets Charlotte. She’s sweet, warmhearted, sexier than she knows—and too damn good for an ex-con like him. But when his past comes back to haunt him, putting Charlotte—and the family he’s come to care for—in danger, Mitch isn’t playing by the rules. He’s already surrendered his heart, but now he’ll risk his life.

Mitch is the third Crews brother and probably my favorite. I fell In love with Mitch as fast as he fell in love with Charlotte. As always Lori Foster gave me
drama, hot chemistry and a laugh or two.
I couldn’t read this book fast enough then was sad when it ended. Such an enjoyable series. Thank You Lori for always writing characters that I instantly Fall in love with. I received an ARC for my honest review.
Great continuation of this family.
Mitch comes to town to find family and gets so much more.
When trouble follows, he learns family sticks together.
Loved Mitch and Charlotte together
This is the third book in the Road to Love Series. Each book is a standalone, but you will understand more about the characters if you read them all!
This was Charlotte and Mitch’s story. Mitch mitch and ex-con looking for a second chance. What could be better than a HEA?? This is definitely a book you don’t want to pass up on!
Lori Foster has a captivating way of writing that draws the reader into her stories. You feel the emotions along with the characters, and you will feel like you’re in the story with them! There were plenty of twists and turns, and it will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat! You won’t want to put the book down once you start it!
I highly recommend reading this book! And any other of Lori Foster’s books!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book.
I received an ARC of All Fired Up and this is my honest review.
I’m a big fan of Lori Foster and love whatever she writes with few exceptions. This is the third book in this series and in my opinion it’s the best of the three. Lori never fails to write characters with a depth and reality that make it seem like I know them all personally. To be honest this is not my favorite series of hers but still they are good stories, well written and easy to read.
Mitch is Brody and Jack’s brother, which neither one ever knew about. Up until now, he hasn’t had many good things happen to him and is quite skeptical that his circumstances will change any time soon. He’s been to prison and therefore doesn’t feel as though he deserves the love and kindness that he is shown from his brothers their friends and family. It turns out he is a very loyal, kind, loving and protective man. He just needs to learn to trust that his new family has his back.
Charlotte is very reserved, almost naïve yet at the same time is very strong and feisty. Though she is not related by blood Brody, Jack and their mother Ros are the only family she has. Charlotte and Mitches chemistry is off the charts from the minute they meet and just gets hotter as time goes on.
Just when things start to heat up with Mitch and Charlotte, Mitch’s past shows up to start trouble. When trouble sets his sights on Charlotte Mitch will do whatever he has to, to protect the woman he’s falling for.
This is another great read from Lori Foster, one that I highly recommend.
4.5 Stars
This is the third book in the series and it’s my favorite. I loved Mitch and Charlotte together. They’re really adorable together. I loved the side she brings out in Mitch. This is a big journey and step for Mitch. Meeting his half brothers. Right off the bat Mitch’s plans go awry, but in the best way possible. Learning Mitch’s back story makes it all the more special the relationship he builds with his family. It’s not going to easy or comfortable, but oh so worth it. It’s not all sunshine and roses because Mitch’s past is not staying in the past. Trouble is coming a knocking and it’s not pretty. I was so happy with how things worked out for everyone including Ros and Elliot. Mitch’s dog Brute is so sweet and I’m so glad he found his forever home. This book has it all; heart, heat, humor, and suspense. This book should go on your must read list. You won’t be disappointed.
I enjoyed reading this book so much! I couldn’t put my Kindle down. I enjoyed the storyline and the chemistry between Charlotte and Mitch! Make sure to grab your copy!
This has to be my favorite of all the Road to Love books and it was hard to pick because the last one was so good. This is the third in the series but you can easily read it as a standalone or out of order. I would suggest reading them together though to get the full enjoyment of the series. I’ve been excitedly waiting for Charlotte’s story, and Ms. Foster did not disappoint us. Charlotte and Mitch were the perfect couple together and had that instantaneous connection that we all long for, but the slow-burn in this book was definitely the way to go with this couple. I love it when I have to wait a while for a characters story and then we get it and it’s so worth it. Charlotte’s was like that. She consistently was the same through it all and never changed character. ***Summary*** He’s tantalizing trouble she can’t resist… Charlotte Parrish has always wanted a certain kind of man: someone responsible, settled, boring. Bad boys need not apply. But when her car leaves her stranded and a mysterious stranger with brooding eyes and a protective streak comes to her rescue, she can’t deny how drawn she is to him. In town searching for family he’s never met, Mitch is everything she never thought she wanted—and suddenly everything she craves. Finding his half brothers after all these years is more than Mitch Crews has allowed himself to wish for. Finding love never even crossed his mind…until he meets Charlotte. She’s sweet, warmhearted, sexier than she knows—and too damn good for an ex-con like him. But when his past comes back to haunt him, putting Charlotte—and the family he’s come to care for—in danger, Mitch isn’t playing by the rules. He’s already surrendered his heart, but now he’ll risk his life.
All fired up and lovin’ it. I have loved Charlotte since the begin of this series, but I love her even more now that I got her story. The family dynamics within these stories make life so relatable and my goodness you can so tell through these stories how much Lori Foster loves animals because she makes the love of them so dynamic within these pages. The story gives you all the feels, you will laugh and cry and sometimes laugh until you cry. As with the others in this series, there was some danger and mystery which keeps you tuned in because you want all to be alright. Mitch is a man who did not have the best beginning in life, who could have turned out to be a different person completely because of that. However, he is good, honest and get sideswiped by love like the rest of the Crews men. I feel like I just want to thank Lori Foster for always giving up people we truly want to root for, and even though the story was complete I feel like I could read about all of these characters forever and it still wouldn’t be enough. Trust me you don’t want to miss Charlotte and Mitch’s story. **ARC provided in exchange for an honest review. **
I loved mitch! I have been waiting for Charlotte’s book since the first one in the series. It definitely didn’t disappoint. Hopefully theres one more book to the series so we can read about Ros!
Yeah, we get to learn more about Charlotte, who is like a member of the Crews family. Not only does Charlotte work for the Crews brothers, but she lives with Ros. And Brodie and Jack treat her so much like a little sister that you get the impression they’ve warned off at least a few guys who may have been interested in dating her.
Mitch is the brother they didn’t know they had. He had many challenges growing up and now is looking to meet his brothers to see if they can connect and be a family. But he is not prepared for how things go once he meets them. Nor for the instant attraction to Charlotte.
I’ve really enjoyed getting to know the Crews family, including Charlotte. And how strong their family ties are.
5 stars
This is the third book in the Road to Love series and it is my new favorite. Mitch and Charlotte are like two peas in a pod as they each have feelings of inadequacy but together, they are a powerful force to be reckoned with. Ms. Foster has eloquently written a tour de force with this book. It is witty, suspenseful, drama infused with an emphasis on family. When it comes to love, one should not go looking but for Charlotte, all she wants is a reliable, steady man with whom she can settle down. However sometimes life has other plans and what falls in her lap is a sexy man that rescues her when her car has some troubles. Mitch has come looking for his half brothers after being released from prison and what he finds is a whole new world opening up for him. However, when Mitch’s ugly past comes barreling forward, how far will he go to keep Charlotte and the rest of his family safe? I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book provided by Netgalley.
I’m giving this 3rd installment to Lori’s Road To Love series 4.5 huge stars!
Brodie and Jack Crews are given a huge surprise when they are joined by Mitch.
With his history, Mitch isn’t sure he deserves anything. Especially not a family as wonderful as the Crew’s.
Charlotte has more steel in her backbone than most men and I loved that about her.
All Fired up has so much between the pages. Surprises, bad guys, steamy times and humor. Mostly though this book is about healing broken souls.
Mitch is a beautifully broken man trying to be better. To overcome his past, to claim something he’s always longed for.
I also loved the good look we got at Ros and Elliott’s relationship. Possible book? Hope so. I’d love to find out how Elliott makes all his mistakes up to Ros.
Anyway, don’t miss this book!
Thanks Lori for the opportunity to read and review!
This has been my favorite book in this series. I thought the characters of Charlotte and Mitch were complex, yet endearing.
There were a lot of ups and downs and complicated history to be dealt with, which was accomplished in a very believable way. I loved the interaction between characters from previous books in the series and the message of family that is woven into each one.
I received an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
This is the 3rd book in the series and can be read as a standalone, but why would you. This family has a lot of ah moments and a little suspense to. I felt such heartache for Mitch who had a rough life and ended up in prison. When he comes to town to meet his brothers who don’t know about him, I wasn’t sure what to expect. He meets Charlotte first and has an instant attraction for her. He finds out she works for his new brothers and they treat her like a little sister. Their relationship is a slow burn and I enjoyed it. Mitch doesn’t quite know what to do with this new family and when the Dad shows up it gets even more complicated. The bad guys seemed a little off to me..but they are bad guys lol. Loved all the family dynamics in this book.

Road to Love #3
Family…something that Mitch has been missing all of his life. His mother more interested in drugs and the men who provided them. His father sometimes there but mostly away. More bad alone times and miserable situations than he wants to think about…well…family sounds like a good thing and he does have two half brothers that might fit the bill. So off he heads to see if he can connect with Brodie and Jack Crews hoping that he might find more than the nothing he has had so far.
Little did Mitch know that the damsel in distress he offered to help at the side of the road would eventually come to mean everything to him. Yes, Charlotte Parrish, sort of like an adopted sister to Brodie and Jack, is also smitten with her first glimpse of Mitch when he stops to help her.
Throw in a bad guy from Mitch’s past, a mother-figure in the form of his brothers’ mother, a trio of lovable canines and a rescue cat, glimpses of the characters in the first two books of the series, a romance that warmed the cockles of my heart and I have to say this was a superb story that made today wonderful.
What I liked:
* Mitch: battered by life but invincible, alone but not willing to remain so, knows what he wants, open, caring and kind – loved him.
* Charlotte: perhaps naive but definitely knows what she wants and what she wants is Mitch. She gives as good as she gets, is open, caring and kind and soothes Mitch’s soul.
* Ros & Elliot: What a dance these two have led over the years…loved seeing how they end up in this book.
* Brodie and Jack: their easy acceptance of Mitch into the family and the way they drew him in.
* The dogs…interesting and rescued by the men that saved them
* The writing, plot and the way the series was put together and flowed.
What I did not like:
* Mitch’s suffering as a child then the fall he took that was so undeserved
* Newman and his buddies – evil incarnate that deserved a fate worse than death
* The fact the book ended and I may never know what happens to the characters in the future.
Thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin Romance – HQN and the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
5 Stars
Ahhh those Crews boys, be still my heart. Just when I think I can’t love them more, along comes Mitch. 4 ½ stars for All Fired Up.
Mitch comes to town looking to connect with his long last family after getting out of prison. He knows his bio dad had sons with his wife so he goes in search of familiar ties. Everything he builds up in his head about them is shattered though when he meets Ros and her boys. They accept him without any second thought. Family is family.
Charlotte is the sister the Crews boys never had. Unfortunately for her, they treat her too much like one some times. After meeting Mitch, she finds herself drawn to him without fully understanding why. When his parental lineage is revealed, she realizes why. She has always felt like part of the Crews family and being with Mitch just seals her fate.
Mitch and Charlotte have a slow burn relationship that is a nice change of pace for the rockem sockem quickies. I enjoyed going slow with them as they learned as much as they could about each other before taking it to the next level.
Great story and sad to see this series line come to an end but good send off for the family. I liked to secondary storyline with Ros and her suitors. I wasn’t totally crazy about the antagonist in this one, little stereotypical I think but it added the tension the story needed. We get to see a little more in terms of the Senior Crews’ back story and reasons for maybe why he is constantly away more than present in his sons’ lives.
I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy provided by Harlequin without expectations. As usual, Ms Foster takes us on a wonderful ride getting to know characters that we can picture in our real lives.
Love reading this series and was really excited for this particular one! I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This is a great story! Love the characters of Charlotte and Mitch! It’s a sweet romance, very touching! You will love their love story!
This is the third book in Lori’s Road to Love Series and the one that I have been anticipating. Since first being introduced to Charlotte, I have been waiting for her story and Lori Foster did not disappoint. All of Lori Foster’s books can be read as standalone novels. Her books are humorous, intense, with strong family ties and usually have a dash of intrigue and suspense added into the mix. Lori’s characters are unique in the fact that they are human they have flaws and they aren’t perfect. Her books draw you in and keep you coming back for more.
The Crews family is a typical family. They give each other a hard time but have each other’s backs when someone from the outside tries to hassle them. They all have personalities that are polar opposite and yet they fit together perfectly. Charlotte and Mitch’s personalities seem to not go together but they end up making the perfect pairing. Charlotte is a spunky, fun and take no crap from anyone character. She is the honorary little sister of the Crews brothers. She may not share their blood but in every other way she is part of the family. While changing her tire on the side of the road she is accosted by a stranger and rescued by Mitch who just happens to be the ½ brother of the Crews brothers. Mitch is a touch ex-con who comes to town to fulfill his dream of meeting his half-brothers. He has had a hard life and he is making changes to improve his situation. He has a plan on what he would say and do but he did not expect to be accepted by the Crews family. Everything seems to be coming together when his past shows up threatening his new start. He wants to leave to protect his new found family but learns there is protection in the family unit.
Now this was a great story! Charlotte, the “little sister” of the family, falls for Mitch, the unknown half-brother. Ros was amazingly wonderful to Mitch, her ex’s other son. The family dynamics were awesome, and the steaminess divine.
Another great read by Lori Foster. Her stories are filled with the sense of family, whether family by blood or family by friends. It makes you want to be a part of it. Loved the characters, the intrigue and of course sexy times.
