She has everything money can buy, but her bodyguard is all she wants—and together they’re exactly what each other needs in this heart-racing romance by Melissa Foster, the New York Times bestselling author of Call Her Mine.Actress Remi Divine is sick of bodyguards, sick of stalkers, and sick of feeling like she is always under a microscope. But this movie star isn’t helpless by any means. She’s … helpless by any means. She’s got a rebellious streak, and she knows how to use it. First order of business: getting rid of the overbearing bodyguards who are sticking to her like glue.
Mason Swift has made protecting others his life, and when Remi ditches his two best men, he takes over and gives it everything he has. Having grown up in the foster-care system, and as a former special operative, he knows all the tricks. Nothing gets by him, especially not gorgeous, sneaky Remi.
He thinks she’s a diva. She thinks he’s arrogant. But when sparks turn to flames and their walls come down, their true hearts are revealed, and their connection is unstoppable. And when tragedy strikes, Remi realizes that being protected isn’t the worst thing in the world—but losing Mason just might be.

Hands down, This Is Love is my new FAVORITE Melissa Foster book!
I loved Remi in the Sugar Lake Series and couldn’t wait for her to get her own story!!!
And now that she did!!! It couldn’t have been more perfect!
Remi’s hottieguard, Mason is the all time best book boyfriend! The perfect combination of tough guy protector and an ooey gooey marshmallow of a sweetheart!
Following Call Her Mine, book one in the Harmony Pointe series, it was great to get to visit all my favorite Dalton’s and company!
Five big happy hearts!!!!
Sigh. It’s finished and my book friends are gone – again. My favorite writing fairy has crafted another amazing book. It has all the feels, angst, and of course heat. Oh and definitely love. From page one to the very last your apart of the characters and what’s taking place, to the point it’s very sad when your on the last page because you have to say goodbye to your friends!!
“Their love wasn’t just passionate. It was safe and empowering, mind-numbing and demanding. It was all-consuming and possessed a dreamy intimacy so luxurious, she wanted to crawl inside it and burrow down for the winter.”
“‘I want everything you’re willing to give, Princess. I might not be Prince Charming, but I’ll always have your back’ – he clutched her ass, squeezing tight – ‘your front’ – he thrust hard and deep – “and everything in between'”.
If you’ve never read a Melissa foster book, this is the perfect one to start with. I was excited for Remi’s story and was not disappointed. Remi and Mason are perfect for each other and brought out the best in each other. Just like other Melissa Foster books, there’s a great sense of family; born with and chosen. I was so caught up in the story I was always smiling.
I also laughed. The banter and camaraderie was amazing and just had me smiling from ear to ear. But I also cried. The message in this story will pull at your heartstrings, but above all, the message is about love and letting go and supporting each other and growing. I felt everything. Once Remi and Mason gave in to their undeniable attraction and connection, all bets were off and they were all in. That just made my day because there wasn’t a long drawn out angst and more about them navigating outside forces and their own past hurts.
It also made my day that Mason has my birthday!
Now I hope we get Aiden’s story because he needs a little more love as well.
I must say that Melissa Foster has given us some great books this year and this is one more that I have fallen in love with. I really enjoyed Remi and Mason from their initial meeting at the fundraiser to their time together at the ‘fortress’ and everything in between. I loved that they let their walls down and shared their pasts with each other, both have emotional scars but being together and talking about it definitely helped each of them to move beyond what they went through. Of course, I was very excited when all of our friends were around and hanging out with us. This did have a little ‘who done it’ aspect to it and just when I thought everything was fine, it wasn’t quite over yet and I must admit I was a little surprised with who was involved in the stalker situation with Remi. I really loved the direction and non-profit that Remi and Mason are working on and it was even more special because of all of their family and friends who wanted to be part of it and help out and contribute to the boxes. I truly couldn’t get enough of this book and Remi and Mason are definitely a perfect hero and heroine and fit in well in the Melissa Foster world. My favorite quote from this book was, ‘Find the person who helps you breathe, then hold on to her and never let her go’. Fingers crossed that Aiden will be getting a book down the road, he more than deserves his own HEA. Another great Melissa Foster production!
Just breathe…..these are the words that Remi Devine remembers her mom saying to her. Keep those words in mind as you read a most captivating, deep and beautiful story. Melissa Foster’s writing kept me on the edge of my seat. Remi Devine has a stalker and her brother Aiden has hired body guards for her. As Remi is filming in Harmony Pointe she has the chance to be closer to her wonderful friends. Mason works hard to keep Remi safe. While living in the same house together they can’t help but share about their lives, even though they are private people. A five star romance with an unexpected twists that will keep you wanting for more.
Whenever I read a book by Melissa Foster I always feel that she takes a piece from my life always in a good way, never bad. Remi and Mason’s book was no different. Remi is a headstrong woman with fears hidden deep, Mason has his own heartache and together magic happens between them. I was hooked when Remi was talking about getting a tattoo of Just Breathe on the inside of her wrist, which is something like her I’m terrified to do. Mason comes from foster care and the scars run deep. Together Mason helps Remi overcome her anxieties all while keeping his promise to her brother to protect her.

Another 5 star read from Melissa Foster. This second book in her Harmony Pointe series is Actress Remi Divines story. Remi is rebellious – she is tired of the bodyguards Aiden, her brother keeps sending. Mason Swift takes over being Remi’s bodyguard after she ditches his two best men. Protecting people is his life. From their first moment together, the sparks fly. No one sees Remi the way Mason does. These two open up to each other and the magic that happens is so very beautiful. Remi and Mason are one of my favorite Foster couples to date. This is Love has all the snark, laughter, heat and a few tears expected from a Melissa Foster book.
I want a Mason in my life. What an ALPHA male!! I think I feel for him the instant he spoke in the book. Remi is sure a special character. You could feel the pain and fear she had in life. While being the public eye, she could never let those feeling show. Mason was able to see through her act. He actually “saw” her. There is story is one of my favorites! I actually read the book twice before I wrote my review. It pulls at your heart strings, and you can’t help but keep turning the pages!
*4 Stars*
ARC kindly received in exchange for an honest review.
The second instalment in another great series from Melissa Foster. I was intrigued about Remi from the previous book, so to get her story was great. I liked her as a character, however I found that I liked Mason even more so.
This was a fairly light and easy read, and while it did take a little while to get into and get going, it had lots of great characters and some sweet and fun moments.
I enjoyed this one, and it can be read as a standalone. Looking forward to more from Melissa Foster, as I’ve learnt I can pretty much guarantee that I’m going to like whatever she writes.
How does Melissa keep doing this over and over again?!!! This story just blew me away! Remington Aldridge is a Hollywood star who is being stalked, so her brother hires Mason Swift to protect her. From the instant they meet, they are attracted to each other. Mason does his best to keep things professional and just do his job. Remi wants to be annoyed with having someone else following her every move and making her feel caged in, but she’s never felt like someone truly gets her the way Mason does, and it’s making it hard for her to fight her feelings.
This story kept you on the edge, wondering who the stalker was. I was shocked when they were revealed because I didn’t see it coming! The sexual tension between Remi and Mason had me flipping page after page wondering how long they could really hold out.
This book will leave you feeling like you’ve been on an emotional roller coaster! There were moments that had me laughing out loud, moments that had me trying to hold back tears, and lots of moments that had me all kinds of hot and bothered! I absolutely loved Remi and Mason’s story. I would recommend this book to everyone!
4.5 Stars
This Is Love by Melissa Foster is book Two in the Harmony Pointe Series. This is the story of Mason Swift and Remi Divine. I have read the previous book but feel you can make this a standalone book if you wish to do so. Remi is a young actress that has to be assigned body guards due to a stalker and of course just being a star. But she is not taking things seriously in my thoughts and even tries to ditch her body guards. This leads Mason to take on the case more personally. Mason is a little bit older than Remi and has had a different life. Mason has grown up in the foster care system then went on to be a special operative. Mason in now into body guarding which his how he ends up working with Remi. Both have already settled into who the other person is in their mind but the more they get to know each other they start to realizes just how much more the other is than what they thought.
I am a big fan of Ms. Foster’s so this was a must read for me.

This is my second book by this author, a contemporary romance that reminds me a lot of that movie The Bodyguard. But I must tell you that this book’s main characters have more chemistry than a science lab and it’s off the charts!
Remi Divine is a famous actress who is at the peak of her career. Her life is almost perfect: adoring fans, protective older brother but she has a stalker and she needs twenty-four-seven protection. Feeling hemmed in, she’d created problems with her previous bodyguards and when her latest one turns out to be the guy who caught her eye at a party, life suddenly becomes more interesting.
Mason Swift owns a security company and decided to take up the job of protecting the famous Remi Divine. She turns out to be more than a handful and the more he got to know her the more he becomes intrigued.
Even though there are a lot of secondary characters from previous books/series and I felt like the last one to arrive at a family party, I really enjoyed reading this book. The writing style is excellent and fast-paced, riveting with an element of suspense. Mason’s brooding but protective persona is fascinating not to mention he is a total hottie with a good sense of humour, a dirty-talker, can be intense at times but is also a kind soul. This man is perfect, holy molly!
Remi at the age of twenty-five is still unattached and is always under her brother’s protective wings. Given their family history, you can’t blame her older brother Aiden from being too alpha at most times. I love the close relationship between the two siblings even though there is a twelve-year gap between them. I get the feeling that Aiden is going to have his own book in the near future, I sure hope so.
This book was a quick read for me because I couldn’t put it down. All throughout the story, Remi’s stalker is the lingering shadow that made me worry that something bad was about to happen but as the author wrote a tight plotline, I never even guessed who the stalker was until at the very end.
The banter between Remi and Mason was entertaining, but what I love most about this couple is their end goal and the way they pursued their dream of creating the project that meant a lot to both of them. It feels great when reading a book about a couple who actually talk and not get bogged down by miscommunication, two grown-ups who tackle their issues head-on and find their happy ending without the over-the-top drama. And yes, the book cover is gorgeous, absolutely Mason to a T!
Holy hotness – it’s been a while where I’ve read a book about a couple who had chemistry that was leaping right off the pages as Remi and Mason had in this book.
I was captivated from the beginning and it didn’t not disappoint. The banter was funny, chemistry of the charts and the build-up to their HEA was absolutely perfect. The ONLY problem I had was that I wanted a bit of a better explanation as to why the bad guy did what he did. But other than that it was a great read.

I loved this second installment in the Harmony Pointe Series. Remi Divine is a young actress that just wants to be “normal” but her older brother was overprotective even BEFORE a stalker began sending her messages. So when he increases her security she feels stifled and tries to get away from her bodyguards. Mason Swift isn’t going to let Remi outsmart yet another of the men he employs so he decides he will protect her himself, after all this a job to him. When they first meet there is an instant attraction that Mason tries to ignore because he has a job to do. But living together and spending all day and night in each other’s company, leads to acting on the feelings they can’t deny. Mason will protect Remi from her stalker at all costs and Remi will make Mason acknowledge their love with equal determination. This is a great story! Can’t wait for the next book in the series.
Actress Remi Devine has a stalker. She knows that her high-profile life can cause security issues, but she is tired of being surrounded by bodyguards. After the death of their parents when she was twelve, her brother, Aiden, raised her. He is now her business manager and hires Mason Swift, former Special Forces to protect her. As Mason learns more about Remi and her past, he is attracted to the woman, not just the actress. Mason has become more than a bodyguard to Remi when the stalker strikes again. Can Mason control his feelings for Remi and keep her safe? A very enjoyable story that has it all, romance, suspense and amazing characters.

So this is the second book in the series for Harmony Pointe, Remy Divine that we met in the first book. Remy is an actress and tired of having robotic body guards following her and her overprotective brother runnin her life. I had wondered about how it would be with this big brother but I didn’t feel like Remy did, I found her to be a brat, I got that she felt closed in but she had a stalker so I get her big brothers feeling about it and I also understood why he wanted to take care of her since he raised her. Remy sees this hot guy and is instantly attracted but instead of acting like an adult she acts the the diva Mason thought she was. Spending time together these two fall in love but do all their problems go away?
Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..Netgalley..Voluntarily reviewed with my own thoughts and opinions.
This was absolutely DIVINE!
When Remi is fed up with the bodyguards her brother has attached to her in order to protect her from a stalker, she lets her frustration be known. Then again, she really isn’t one to hold back on what she’s thinking or feeling…as long as she’s with friends or family. The solution to her problem is resolved by installing Mason Swift into her life and her home. Suddenly, she’s no longer being ignored and bossed around…she’s feeling her world tilt every which way but up.
I actually liked Remi quite a bit, although actresses are some of my least favorite heroines. She was pretty much down to earth like the girl next door and she ensnared Mason pretty quickly. Mason was a great hero. His job is to protect but the instinct to do so goes deep into his DNA. However, he recognized that Remi need room to breathe, and the opportunities to help make decisions about her life so he set out to do so immediately.
Despite the stalker issue, this didn’t revolve around the danger alone. It showcases two people learning each other, falling in love and trying to figure out how they can make it work. Add in all the amazing characters that are in this couple’s life and this book is pretty much perfection.
This is the best book of the series! Remi and Mason story is so worth to read! She is a famous actress and is being harassed and stalked by a creep. She has a very protective brother who hires Mason’s security firm to take care of her. Remi is super rebelious and Mason decides to take care of her himself since he believes he knows how to handle difficulties. I guess he did not expect the supposed “spoiled” Remi to turn out to be evething he always wanted. These characters are wonderful, they both have suffered incredible losses in their lifes (Remi lost her parents at young age and Mason was brought up in the foster system) and they never give up on caring for one another. Mason, as a character, is very interesting since he is not bitter, he faced the war, he faced being alone with courage that it is moving. I think Remi sees this courage and tender in him and that makes her fall even harder.
The book is well written and wonderful and you will not put it away until the last page.
Such a beautiful and amazing story that is all heart brought to us by Melissa Foster. This is Love burns through each page as the chemistry between Remi and Mason heat up. I loved these two from the beginning. Remi is a powerful soul, she just has to dig it out and let it shine. Mason is locked in himself for so long, he is unsure he still has a heart.
I loved how each character brings the story to life. The two main characters, Remi and Mason, bring something special to the story. I was not just hooked on their love story, I was hooked on it ALL!!
Mason is not hard to fall in love with and Remi is a girl that makes you believe to start living for yourself. I could not stop talking about this book and completely recommend this book!
