From New York Times and USA Today bestselling romance author Jean Oram…
One developer. One lawyer. One unexpected chance at love.
Years ago, cut-throat developer Tristen Bell had everything that ever mattered to him ripped away. Now divorced and living in Muskoka, he’s shunning all that reminds him of his past and the unstoppable man he used to be.
Melanie Summer thought her law degree … be.
Melanie Summer thought her law degree would help her find a place in this world. But when a big city developer threatens to destroy all that she loves—including her family—she finally sees her path. The only hiccup is that the man she needs—the sexy and stubborn Tristen Bell—refuses to do anything other than give her knee-weakening kisses every time he sees her.
When Tristen’s teenage daughter ends up in the ER due to the negligence of his former rival, everything changes. Tristen knows he can shut down the developer but it means resorting to his old, ruthless ways and showing sweet Melanie a side that may send her running.
With time running out to stop the developer, and their attraction for one another increasing, will Tristen and Melanie learn to love and trust one another in order to reach their happily ever after?

Melanie’s and Tristen’s story kept me entertained to the end! I can’t wait to read the next story in this series!
Love and Trust is a little bit more mature than the first two books in the Summer Sisters series. Tristen and Melanie are a little bit older, a little more wiser, but no less immune to love. She needs a hero. He has no intention of being one, until a blast from his past endangers everything he holds dear. Great writing, emotional scenario and heartwarming romance equal hard to resist reading. Add in a smooth talker like Vanessa Moyen to sweeten the pot and it’s a win – win.
I greatly enjoyed Love and Trust. I loved Melanie. She’s intelligent, brave and has a heart of gold. She also has a lot of gumption. Making a stand where most people would have backed down.
I glad Tristen came to his senses and opened his heart to love again. The two are perfect for each other. The also make a formidable team. That’s something they’ll need going up against the ruthless developers of Rubicore.
I can’t wait to read the final book and find out how the Summer sisters’ story ends.
This story had so many elements to it. A legal battle for property turns into a battle for family safety and finding love for our heroine and the reluctant man who ends up helping her.
I am in love with the Summer family! This time, we get to go on Melanie’s journey. Not looking for love, but rather taking on a big company to stop a development, Melanie has her hands full. Tristan comes in the picture, a big time lawyer, now turned real estate agent and he can help her. But will he? He is a single dad, divorced and happy to leave his cold-hearted self behind. His daughter, Dot comes to live with him and when she has a swimming accident due to the developers, his mindset changes. But is it enough to take on the big company? This is my kind of story. First, a single dad, trying to deal with a teenage daughter add comedic value to the book for me. Kids can be so difficult and Dot does everything she can in the beginning to cause Tristen problems. Add in the crazy ex-wife, and the need to keep his old life away from him, and Tristen is a character you can’t help but love. Melanie is determined and ready to fight for what she believes in. I love her perseverance it makes her character strong and smart, traits I love to see in women. The pairing of these two and finding a balance to get to their same result takes the two on some fun adventures. Melanie’s mom is a wonderful adviser and Dot a delightful addition to the story as well as cameos from Melanie’s sisters and niece. It captured me from the beginning and I can’t wait to see what happens next to this family!
Vanessa Moyen continues her wonderful narration of the series. She has become the Summer girls for me and I love the continuity of her voices throughout each. She gives great comedic timing and emotional value to the books, making them great listens.
ROFL!!!
She’s kind of a tomboy but was giving dating a last chance, so dressed up “girly” for an online-met date who thinks “down to earth” and “basic” means “lets get down to business in the back seat.” She said no and now she’s stranded without her purse or phone, in the middle of nowhere, in front of a biker bar. By the end of the first chapter I was grinning broadly and anxious to continue. Narrator Vanessa Moyen’s voicings kept me in the moment and enraptured. Through politics and heritage and environment concerns the Summer sisters continue to lead crazy-busy lives. This story stands alone, cliffhanger notwithstanding, but you really want to have read them in order to enjoy the full narrative as each sister looks to her future.
Holy cliff-hanger Batman! First, you may want to have quick and easy access to the next book in this series before you get too far into this one. I’d started to be curious about Tristen in the previous book and I’m so glad to see we get to know him much better in this one. And pretty much from the beginning of the series I’ve wanted to know all about all of the Summer sisters. Melanie and Tristen are a bit of a tragic pair. They’ve both let other people’s opinions affect the way the see and feel about themselves. They’re also one of the silliest pairs together. I’ve laughed with the other sisters, but I don’t remember laughing as loud or as much. This story also sets the stage for Daphne with an ending that had me shrieking “wait! You can’t leave me there!” So I am literally and figuratively dying to get my hands on the next book.
