In RIVER OF LOVE…
River rafting and adventure company owner Sam Braden works hard and plays harder. He’s fast, focused, and determined–and never at a loss for a willing woman to share his time with. The trouble is, the only woman he wants refuses him at every turn.
Physician assistant Faith Hayes escaped her painful past and built a safe, happy life in Peaceful Harbor. She’s also put what … also put what she’s learned to good use helping others by founding Women Against Cheaters, an online support group. When her boss’s sinfully sexy brother sets his sights on sweet Faith, she knows the self-professed player is everything she shouldn’t want, and she’s determined to resist him.
Sam pulls out all the stops, proving to Faith that his past doesn’t have to define his future. As she lets down her guard and begins to trust Sam, intense conversations turn to intimate pleasures. But when real life steps in and their pasts collide, it’s Faith who’s left with something to prove.

Sam Braden is a hot sexy, enigmatic player. All the women swoon over him and he wants them back but only for a night. Love them, please them, leave them panting for more but only for one night; that’s his way. Big Sammy is all about fun with no strings attach kinda guy.
Faith loves her job, her friends she met thru the group she started; Women against Cheaters and she surely keeps away from big sexy alpha males. She learned her lesson the hard way to never trust a man but that’s until Sam Braden starts to make her blush.
Sam will stop at nothing to pursue Faith and make her his…….but she is worried about his reputation and letting herself fall freely for him.
Will she listen to her heart or her head?
Loved it! Sam will melt your heart !
I really liked it. I have most books about the family. Sam has always been the playbook. It follows the family. It can be read on its own.
River of Love is book 3 The Bradens of Peaceful Harbor and could Sam be any hotter!! Ok who am I kidding all the men in Melissa Fosters book are just hot, hot, hot. Oh my god how does this woman do it?
Sam Braden is one of those guys who doesn’t do relationships – or rather he does’t do them as he hasn’t found the right woman so naturally he has a reputation of being a bit of player. At his brother Cole’s wedding he set his sights on Faith, who works with Cole. Cole has warned Sam not to mess with Faith but he cant shake the feeling that he wants to be with her.
Faith alongside working with Cole also runs WAC – Woman Against Cheaters, which she set up after being cheated on herself as a way to help other women in the same situation and she has already judged Sam before the see the guy he really is, that is until he convinces her to go on a date with him.
He works hard to prove he is done with the playboy days and she comes around to him, they are such a great couple together and the chemistry is just amazing how he gets her, but when someone from the past shows up and jeopardises what they have, I totally wasn’t expecting that!! Most books have the wee twist but I didn’t really see this one I was just so engrossed in Sam and Faith that I guess I missed the connection. I actually thought that her BFF Vivian was going to have something revealed as I really didn’t like her = but then she was just being a true friend to Faith, so will let her off!
This is yet another outstanding book from Melissa Foster, again one that can be read as a stand alone but you will not settle for just reading this book – you connect with each and every single character that you will want to go back and read about them, and you will be patiently waiting for the next one to come out!
5 Hot Braden Stars
It is a great book.
This is the third book in the Bradens at Peaceful Harbor Series. Sam and Faith’s story is sweet, sexy, and beautiful. Faith is lovely, strong, and independent. Sam is a playboy, charming, caring, and supportive. I like his determinaton. I love the Bradens. BJ Harrison did a great job with the narration. This is one of my favorite stories in the Series.
Fast pace, full of a hot and steamy cat and mouse game. Absolutely love the Braden’s. Great series. Won’t be disappointed.
(3.5) Enjoyable contemporary romance. I can’t fault Faith the way others do., nor her BFF. I mean come on Sam was notorious for doing everyone. Human nature will have doubt, and if your BFF goes through the same thing its two doubting. I had more an issue with his brother Cole. I understand the warning, but geeze you had less faith then Faith did. It was awesome meeting the Whiskeys in this one and I absolutely loved Sam doing the right thing for anyone who needed help. I would recommend this to anyone who would enjoy a steamy contemporary romance with little agnst, but oh so real feelings.
River of Love is book #34 in the Love in Bloom series and is book #3 in the Bradens at Peaceful Harbor series but can be read as a standalone.
Another great book from Melissa as always and another Braden bites the dust!
Faith Hayes is fairly new to Peaceful Harbor and loves her job as a physician assistant. She tends to be very cautious and calculating when it comes to men since her previous boyfriend cheated on her which led her to create an organization, Woman Against Cheaters (WAC). She is at her boss Cole Braden’s wedding when she comes face to face with Sam Braden a notorious player around town.
Sam Braden owns Rough Riders and adventure- based company and loves everything outdoorsy. His personal life is just as wild as any adventure he could take you on. He’s never had any qualms about his love ‘em and leave ‘em lifestyle. That is until he met Faith. His brother Cole has already warned him not to go after her.
Sam is exactly the type of man Faith is trying to avoid and she is convinced that he will cheat on her and hurt her. How far will Sam have to go to gain Faith’s trust and can he break down her walls so she can get to know the real Sam? Can Sam prove that he’s change and can be the man she deserves?
I usually love Melissa Foster books, but every once in a while there is one I just don’t like and this was one of them. I could not get myself to finish it – I gave up at 57%. I understood Faith’s point of view and her past, but I just got tired of her back and forth and her friend Vivian didn’t help matters. I know almost everyone loved this book, but I didn’t – sorry. I guess that’s why there are all kinds of books and all kinds of opinions.
Oh, these Braden guys! They just couldn’t get anymore sexy and loveable!
The women they fall for are just as spectacular.
This is the story about Lover-boy, Sam and his choice of woman, Faith, who certainly lives up to her name.
It tells of the mutual attraction these two people have for one another and how Faith has to work at believing in Sam and learning to trust him while trying to ignore all the stories and rumors about him.
He has to work hard at not giving up on her and I found him to have the patience of a saint.
Both of these delightful characters are very believable and their story is really worth reading so I hope you enjoy reading it too.
