Blurb
Handsome,
wealthy resort owner Treat Braden is used to getting what he wants. When Max
Armstrong walked into his life six months earlier, he saw right through the efficient
and capable façade she wore like a shield, to the sweet, sensual woman who lay
beneath. She sparked an unfamiliar desire in him for more than a one-night
stand, leaving his heart reeling and his blood boiling. But one mistake caused
her to turn away, and now, after six months of longing for the one woman he
cannot have, he’s going home to try to forget her all together.Max Armstrong has a successful career, a comfortable lifestyle, and she’s never needed a man to help her find her way—until Treat Braden caught her attention at a wedding in Nassau, causing a surge of emotions too reminiscent of the painful past she’d spent years trying to forget. Max will do anything to avoid reliving that pain—including forgoing her toe-curling, heart-pounding desire for Treat.
When a chance encounter turns into a night of intense passion, Treat realizes that the mistake he made six months earlier may cause him to lose Max completely. He will do everything within his power to win her heart forever—and Max is forced to face her hurtful past head on for the man she cannot help but love.

Treat knew
that he had to get away from Nassau for a bit.
If he spent one more minute at his resort, he would go nuts. What better way to unwind and take his mind
off of work than a weekend at his father’s ranch? But was it really work that he was needing a
break from, or the woman who’s been occupying his thoughts for the past six
months … Max Armstrong? Treat met Max
when she was organizing a wedding that was taking place at his resort. There was something about her that made his
heart thunder in his chest. But it was
his own fears that kept him from acting on those feelings.
You can
imagine Treat’s surprise when he spots Max while back home in Colorado. He knew that Max was friends with his cousin,
Blake, but didn’t put two and two together that she may live in the same area. Seeing her brought back the rush of
emotions. He knew that he wasn’t going
to let this chance at getting to know Max pass him by and go through another
six months of mental anguish.
The connection
that Treat and Max share is undeniable, but demons from their past makes it
hard for them to fully move forward.
Both have been hurt in the in different ways and are guarding their
hearts, but can they let the walls down long enough to give their relationship
a chance? Or are those walls too tough
to break down?
Lovers at Heart is the fourth of nine books in the Love in Bloom Series. It focuses mainly on Max Armstrong and Treat
Braden, but also introduces you to the rest of the Braden family. I really enjoy how the characters are all
strong, successful and family oriented, yet they have their own individual
struggles that they’re trying to overcome.
And, like the three previous books in the series, Lovers at Heart does not disappoint in the steamy love scenes
category! Once again, Melissa Foster has
provided us with an amazing story that’s nearly impossible to put down, with an
alpha male who you will fall head over heels in love with!
