Lovers at Heart is a steamy contemporary romance with alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They’re flawed, funny, passionate, and very relatable for readers who enjoy adult romance, contemporary romance, and women’s fiction.
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.
“Steamy sex scenes and heartfelt confessions…a satisfying addition to the ‘Love in Bloom’ series.” – Midwest Book Review
Fans of Melissa Foster’s Snow Sisters series may be interested in The Bradens.
Although this book says book 1 there is previous books in the series. In a book prior to this Max (a girl) met Treat at her boss wedding. They were attracted to each other but a misunderstanding meant they did not act on the attraction. They meet each other again 6 months on and the attraction is still there. Max was in a relationship before where the guy wasn't very nice to her and Treat also has a few issues of his own.
Treat is a sensitive guy . He is a lovely, kind,considerate family man who is also hot and weathly ( what more can a woman want?? ) He has everything Max could want in a guy but she is worried he may give up his wonderful life for her and end up resenting her. This is a good light read which can be read as a stand alone. Dual POV which works well. Good sex scences- which I always love, however they are not too explicit if you don't like. The Braden family are a great bunch of characters and I would read more in the series.
4 stars because I really did love Treat
