GAME OF LOVE
Ellie Parker is a master at building walls around her heart. In the twenty-five years she’s been alive, Dex Remington has been the only person who has always believed in her and been there for her. But four years earlier, she came to Dex seeking comfort and then disappeared like a thief in the night, leaving him a broken man.
Dex Remington is one of the top PC game developers in the United States. He’s handsome, smart, and numb. So damn numb that he’s not sure he’ll ever find a reason to feel again.
A chance encounter sparks intense desires in Ellie and Dex. Desires that make her want to run–and make him want to feel. A combination of lust and fear leads these young lovers down a dangerous path. Is it possible to cross a burned bridge, or are they destined to be apart forever?
STROKE OF LOVE
Kate Paletto runs a volunteer program in Belize for Artists for International Aid, where she deals with self-centered artists who use the program as a means to repair their marred reputations. She loves the country, the people, and what AIA stands for, but too many diva volunteers have turned her off to press-seeking celebrities altogether and left her questioning the value of the volunteer program. When she meets incredibly handsome and charming Sage, he stirs emotions she hasn’t felt for ages, even though he represents the things she despises.
Laid-back artist Sage Remington escapes his wealthy lifestyle in the Big Apple for a two-week journey of self-discovery to figure out how a guy who has so much can feel so empty. When he meets ultra-organized Kate, who lives her life the way he’s always dreamed of living his, the attraction is too hot to ignore, but Sage is there to figure out what’s missing in his life, not to find a woman.
Every look, and every late-night chat in the romantic jungle brings them closer together, but Sage can barely think past stripping away Kate’s misconceptions about him. Kate fights him every step of the way–even though she finds it hard to ignore the strikingly handsome, generous-to-a-fault artist who wants to do nothing more than right the wrongs of the world–and love her to the ends of the earth.

IN FLAMES OF LOVE
As one of New York’s Finest, firefighter Cash Ryder is always prepared. When a woman’s car skids off the side of a mountain during a snowstorm, he’s there to rescue her. Cash is totally focused on the woman’s well-being, but within minutes of getting her to safety, he realizes that he’s nowhere near prepared for the heat that rolls off of sensual, smart-mouthed, and stubborn Siena Remington.
As a model, Siena Remington has dated some of the wealthiest, most handsome men in the industry, and she’s made peace with the idea that most men are just looking for eye candy and they wouldn’t know how to romance a woman to save their lives. When she’s rescued by a tall, handsome stranger, she thinks that maybe, just maybe, she’s found her own real-life romantic fairy tale–until he opens his mouth and everything that comes out is gruff, ornery, and aggravatingly sexy.
Thrown together during an annual firehouse calendar photo shoot, the passion between Cash and Siena sizzles, and neither one knows how to control the flames. After an evening of verbal sparring followed by a sinfully sensual night, their darkest secrets are revealed–and so is Cash’s warm, romantic heart. But Siena’s secret might be too much for big, strong, always-prepared Cash to handle–and Siena is forced to choose between a man who’s everything she’s ever dreamed of and an opportunity of a lifetime.

You just don’t want to put a book down until it’s finished . You can’t wait to read the next one then
Nice characters, moved quickly, got into at first chapter
Good read and I recommend all three books.
I love Melissa Foster. I think I own all of her books. Well worth the read!!!
loved this series
Easy to read and enjoy as you follow the siblings in this family. I enjoyed meeting and watching each one as they develop. I am looking to find more in this series.
First two books were my favorite. Sienna’s story was good too but it was just my least favorite of the three.
Enjoyed the book. I appreciated there were no cliffhanger. There were struggles for the couple to overcome and they worked together through them.
enjoy this series
First and third books great. Book two I didn’t like the eating of story. Couldn’t get into location.
Remingtons: Dex, Sage and Seina
Dex and Ellie have been there for each other even as kids. She has lived through Foster kid hell and he has been her savior. He lived through geek kid hell and came through it and grew into a very successful Game creator and business mogul. She will need to heal from her shame to let anyone really ‘in’. Their’s is a compelling story with a few elements that I found hard to wrap my head around when it comes to parents.
Sage’s story speaks to my art collector heart. I don’t know if M. Foster knows of all the work Peter Max has done promoting charities through sales of his artwork, but Sage is certainly a lot like him. Not surprising he finds a kindred spirit in Kate, the child of peace corp workers following in her parent’s footsteps. She’s got quit a bit of growing up to do.
Meanwhile, Seina is the 1 girl in the family of extremely successful people… her success being in the world of modelling. I’ve known some women in the industry, and she isn’t at all like them. So, I had to set that aside. On the other hand, I wasn’t at all surprised a model would fall for a fireman. It was his side of the story that held most of my interest.
So, why 4 instead of 5 stars for these complex stories. 2 reasons. 1st a lot of content was steamy extreme details for many pages at a time. If you like it, you can give the 5 stars. If it is not your thing skim past it. The other is sometimes it got into excurciating details in the story and I wanted it to speed up … I was never sure if some detail would matter in the future, so I couldn’t skim those.
Couldn’t get through the first book. Wasn’t a fan.
Would be nice to have more in the conclusion. Even an epilogue to let the reader know the couple either ended up together or not. Needs a few pages more to finish the books.
Great!
It was an enjoyable read
I loved each book in this collection of 3! I fell in love with the Remington family, and want to read MORE! Great characters, each one so unique, but with a family bond that made my heart happy. Wonderful stand-alones or read all together! Thank you for this great collection!
I enjoyed how each story was stand alone but carried over the çharecters to each new story. It is wonderful to follow the family.
Loved it
Such a great book. I loved all the three stories in the boxset
Diverse and realistic characters fill the pages of this steamy New York based family saga of attraction at first sight novels. While each novel can be read alone, they do run chronologically with some references to prior novels and couples. While interesting, these novels are long with undertones of serious topics that promote social awareness.

I purchased a copy of the steamy novel Game of Love: Dex Remington and Ellie:THE REMINGTONS: Love in Bloom Contemporary Romance by Melissa Foster and this review was given freely.
Steamy with some violence, this is the story of unrequited love fulfilled, learning to trust after abuse, the dream of a more personalized education system, and a wonderful introduction to the close knit Remington family. Despite being one of the country’s leading PC game designers and the founder of Thrive Entertainment, a multimillion-dollar gaming corporation at twenty-six, Dex feels unfulfilled until his childhood best friend and first love returns to New York.
***Stroke of Love: Sage Remington
4 stars
I purchased a copy of the steamy novel Stroke of Love: Sage Remington and Kate:THE REMINGTONS: Love in Bloom Contemporary Romance by Melissa Foster and this review was given freely.
An attraction at first sight novel with vivid descriptions, a supportive but complex family saga, a steamy romance, and a humanitarian theme. Feeling unfulfilled, wealthy New York artist Sage seeks a more simplistic life in a two week mission trip to the jungle of Punta Palacia, Belise where he finds peace and happiness in the form of the mission leader Kate and in helping the underdeveloped community.
***Flames of Love: Siena Remington
5 stars
I purchased a copy of the steamy novel Flame of Love: Siena Remington and Cash Ryder:THE REMINGTONS: Love in Bloom Contemporary Romance by Melissa Foster and this review was given freely. A series of chance encounters, attraction at first sight, survivor guilt, the supportive and protective Remington and Braden clans and a moral dilemma fill the pages of this complex story featuring the dissatisfied and sometimes impulsive top model Siena Remington and the reckless but loyal firefighter Cash Ryder.
