LOVERS AT HEART, REIMAGINED
Treat Braden wasn’t looking for love when Max Armstrong walked into his Nassau resort, but he saw right through the efficient and capable facade she wore like a shield to the sweet, sensual woman beneath. One magnificent evening together sparked an intense connection, and for the first time in his life Treat wanted more than a casual affair. But something caused Max to turn away, and now, after weeks of unanswered phone calls and longing for the one woman he cannot have, Treat is going back to his family’s ranch to try to finally move on.
A chance encounter brings Treat and Max together again, and it turns into a night of intense passion and honesty. When Max reveals her secret, painful past, Treat vows to do everything within his power to win Max’s heart forever–including helping her finally face her demons head-on.
DESTINED FOR LOVE
BRONZE MEDAL WINNER, Readers’ Favorite Awards, Romance Sizzle
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.
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.
FRIENDSHIP ON FIRE
SILVER MEDAL WINNER, Readers’ Favorite Awards, Romance Sizzle
Small-town overachiever Riley Banks has finally scored her big break–working in Manhattan as a fashion design assistant for her childhood crush, Josh Braden. She enters her new job hoping to make a name for herself and–just maybe–explore the romance that slipped through her fingers way back when.
Josh Braden has models at his beck and call, a staff that never says never, and an elegant clothing line for the holiday season. When he hires Riley Banks, he expects her to learn the business from the ground up. But the girl next door turns out to be much more than he remembered.
Josh and Riley’s friendship heats up. Every steamy kiss and every passionate caress stirs a love they cannot deny. But when Riley designs a wedding gown that would cause even the most jaded fashion editors to swoon, Riley’s mentor accuses her of stealing the designs.

Can’t wait to read this!!
Review for Lovers at Heart, Reimagined (Love in Bloom: The Bradens #1):
I haven’t read the original Lovers at Heart so I honestly cannot tell you how or what is different in this edition. I know the author explains her reimagined theme to be a more mature spin of the original. Without reading the original, I couldn’t tell you what that means but I can tell you I enjoyed reading Trent and Max’s journey a lot. It was easy to read and it made me feel good.
Max and Trent both have their own personal demons that they need to slay (for lack of a better term) in order for them to actually work out. It happens in the story and they do it together. THAT’S what I loved the most. I was reading adulting done well LOL I don’t know any other way of putting it. It didn’t feel fictional to me, it felt real. Their journey was both sexy and sweet and maybe sometimes a little frustrating, but they communicated like champs. You don’t see that a lot in fiction. Lack of communication is a preferred conflict in romacelandia. I enjoyed that wasn’t the major case in this story. Yes, it happened, but it wasn’t the main focus. I could go on but …. Just read the book. I promise you will enjoy it. You’ll actually enjoy any Melissa Foster book out there. I know I have. Yes, on different levels, but enjoyed just the same.

Melissa Foster is the queen of romance! All her books are worth reading. I buy everyone with the blurb that goes with it.
I loved this hatfield/mccoy romance. It is well written and believable.
Loved the 3 book bundle. Treat and Max book was awesome, kept on edge with their journey. Rex and Jade was just ok, not my favorite. Absolutely loved Riley and Josh book. I enjoy reading this authors book. Can’t wait to re read some books from the cousins.
3 Standalone but inter-related stories. All enjoyable for storylines. Each of them at least 25% or more long drawnout descriptions of nights (or days) of passionate sex. For the most part you can skip those parts. I frequently just skimmed them.
Book 1 is Treat and Max’s story. It is a billionaire falls in love story. It has the added feature of his rancher family background and Dad and siblings impact on the relationship. Max has a very interesting history that has an unusual resolution.
Book 2 is Rex and Jade’s story. This is the Romeo and Juliet story as the Braden’s have had an ‘all their lives’ Feud with her family. It needed some editing where facts in the buildup of a scene ended up dropped and the scene continues contrary to those facts. Let it go. Powerful climactic scene
Book 3 is Josh and Jade’s story. Josh left the ranch to have an amazing rise to fame in NY dress design. Amazingly, the small town of Weston managed to produce 2 incredibly talent dress designers. Unfortunately, he has an employee nicknamed Cruella. As Max in book 1 had to decide if work was a greater priority than love, Josh has to make the same choice. Of course he makes the right choice, but it is how it gets to be a happy ending that matters most.
Again… either skim or skip the overly detailed sex and ignore some editing issues.
Loved it, made me want to read about the whole Braden family
The first 2 books were really good and the last one dull and repetitive.
I loved this series. I read all 3 books in 2 days.
Enjoyed reading them and would recommend.
I enjoy reading series.
Great capture of the characters. It keeps you reading more.
I read it so long ago I am unable to comment realistically.
All her book are great
I enjoyed these books and went so far as to get the other books that complete series. Definitely recommend it for anyone.
I love all of melissa foster’s books, especially because they are a series connecting brothers, sisters, cousins and friends, this a great purchase because you get 3 stories in a row.
I loved the characters and the plots, but I feel their could have been less explicit sex scenes.
Great read!
