Rosalie Alexander never fit in. Raised by adoptive parents in the small town of Arden’s Glen, her mixed Latina skin and ability to talk to the dead kept most folks away. When her radio program takes off and a small TV network offers her an opportunity she can’t refuse, visions of love are the last thing on Rosalie’s mind. But when the town’s sexy young surgeon goes and mucks things up by setting … setting his sights on her, Rosalie’s heart is torn in ways she never expected.
Dr. Zade Zampogna had everything going for him: Sexy? Check. Doctor? Check. Rich? Check. But he missed the excitement of the large hospital he transferred from in order to take care of his aging mother. When she passes unexpectedly, Zade has nothing left to keep him in the small community. Until . . . Rosalie. He knew from the moment they met that she was the one, and he would stop at nothing to win her over.
Despite the charming doctor’s persistent and flirtatious attention, Rosalie doesn’t know if she can trust Zade’s intentions—or if she even wants to. When resistance crumbles, and her visions unearth secrets she’d rather leave buried, will Rosalie grab her one shot at stardom or take a chance on something a little closer to home—love?

Dreamy Doctor Zade Falls In Love At First Sight With Psychic Rosalie!
Rosalie Alexander is a psychic medium, an intuitive psychic, and an empath. She has her own radio show doing interviews (in which she channels spirits, etc), works with her friend Celeste, and with her brother at his cafe, so she hesitates when offered her own TV show. It requires her to move to California, which should have thrilled her, but in the face of change, she feels inexplicably torn.
It was hard for Rosalie to grow up in her small town. She is adopted, so she had a difficult time feeling like she belonged. She has either visions or memories of poor conditions and lots of tears from her childhood prior to her adoption. Her adopted parents passed away when she was seventeen, but never understood her gifts, anyways. Brecken, her brother, always treated her as a sister by birth. He was twenty-two when they died, just finishing college. He had to step up to be her guardian. Additionally, her gifts more often than not made her a freak to most. Friends were scared of her ability, so she kept no friends growing up. It was only recently that Rosalie found herself with a circle of friends.
Leaving her brother’s cafe one day, she literally runs into Zade, a handsome doctor she met a couple months ago at her friends’ get-together. Rosalie senses something more than boyfriend with Dr. Zade Zampogna, and it scares her. It isn’t that he is older than her – that she doesn’t mind. But she has a very poor track record with men, and it always ends in her humiliation.
Dr. Zampogna, thirty-four, is the king of pick-up lines. He cannot seem to help himself. He had been a successful surgeon in Dallas, but moved to Arden’s Glen, a sleepy small town in Western North Carolina, two years earlier to help his sister Zada with their mom, who died last winter from a stroke. Zada is his only remaining family.
Zade can’t get Rosalie out of his mind since meeting her at the McGuires’ party (Egan and Celeste), even though she is younger than anyone he’d dated. His father fell in love at first sight with his mother. Zade isn’t quite there yet, but he can’t ignore the feeling he gets around young beauty.
Zade is soon all-in with Rosalie, patiently wooing her. His optimism, humor, and charm are endearing! Rosalie, on the other hand, is afraid of falling for Zake because she doesn’t want to be stuck in Arden’s Glen, and she knows she can’t put her dreams on hold without feeling regret.
Although there are elements of other books in the series intermixed within the story, this book can be read as a stand-alone. It is a sweet story with a simple storyline revolving around the couple and their circle of friends. Zade and Rosalie are easy to fall in love with – they deserve their HEA! I rate this book four stars.

New to me author, CM Albert, delivers a fresh and altogether lovely tale in Visions of Love.
Zade never planned to stay in North Carolina. He only rushed home to care for his ailing mother but after losing her, he’s not sure that, if anything, will hold him there; until he meets Rosalie. At first glance, he experiences the magic his parents always described and he knows he has to make her his.
Rosalie is so used to feeling different and left out, she’s incredibly resistant and more than a little scared to give in to the guy begging her for a date. She’s drawn to him and she doesn’t want to let fear hold her back but she’s not even sure she’s capable of living in his world. Plus get free join is calling and it’d free her from the clutches of the tiny little town and all the stigma around her “special gift”.
With Rosalie’s psychic abilities, and her difficult past, I totally understood her reluctance to enter into the dating game but the sexy doctor stole Rosie’s heart, just as he did mine. This book was refreshingly original and while I worried it might be a tad too serious, the docs adorably cheesy pickup lines brought a lightness to it! Great read!

VISIONS OF LOVE BY CM ALBERT is book Three in the Arden’s Glen Romance Series. This is the story of Zade Zampogna and Rosalie Alexander. I haven’t yet read the previous books, so for me this was a standalone book. Rosalie is a medium/psychic who has her family and a few friends but she has been picked on because of her abilities. This has made her want to maybe start fresh somewhere else. Zade is a surgeon/Dr who has moved to Arden’s Glen to help care for his mother in her last stages of life. When he sees Rosalie he falls immediately in love with her and wants her as she is. But Rosalie is unsure and not trusting yet of his feelings and of course hers feelings.
This was a sweet enjoyable read.
Rosalie hasn’t had an easy life, she was given up for adoption but was accepted for herself. She’s been helping her brother after their parents died but she has her own dreams. Zade moved to Arden’s Glen for a change of pace and then he meets Rosalie. The attraction is immediate but she’s been hurt before, can he convince her that he’s different? Will she let him in?
Zade and Rosalie are everything. I love that we get a Latina heroine and the story is different but still charming, sexy, and has all the feels. It kept me enthralled and engaged and I could see myself in Arden’s Glen watching their story play out. Perfect!

Visions of Love by C.M.Albert was a sweet and emotional love story set in small town. The author created a beautiful and heartwarming chemistry between Rosalie and Zade. And it also packed passion and heat. It was a well balanced love story.
Rosalie is a psychic with special gift to read people’s mind. But she was hurt so many times in her life when it comes to men that she is afraid to let it go. She has a loving brother and supportive friends in her town. But when the good doctor Zade comes knocking at her heart’s door, she is unsure and vulnerable. But Zade is a good man all the way and he will stop at nothing to win her heart.
I loved Zade’s character. He is caring, compassionate and charming but he is also sexy, enticing and a complete man. I loved his dedication to everything in his life and how he helped Rosalie come out of her shell. But unfortunately I did not love Rosalie’s character that much. Yes she is an amazing girl with her beautiful heart. But she did not win my heart exactly. There was something missing. Sometimes she came across too indecisive .But their chemistry was on point. It was steamy, sweet, intense and heartwarming. The drama of the secondary characters added layers to this story.
It was not a love story without obstacles and it was interesting to see how the couples navigated through it. I would have loved a bit more x factor but it was an enjoyable story.
