Blog Tour Review: Flames of Love – Melissa Foster

FLAMES OF LOVE is the newest addition to the LOVE IN BLOOM series by New York Times & USA Today bestselling and award-winning author Melissa Foster. This 5-book steamy contemporary romance series features alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They’re flawed, funny, passionate, and very relatable to readers who enjoy new adult romance, contemporary romance, and women’s fiction.

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.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

FLAMES OF LOVE is the third book in the Remington series and I have to say, it’s my favorite so far.  Melissa Foster created the perfect match for quirky super model, Siena Remington, when she created Cash Ryder.  He was an uber hot, alpha firefighter with a soft squishy center who could equally exacerbate Siena and sweep her off her feet.

Siena and Cash meet when he rescues her during a snow storm.  They may have ended that first night  somewhat hostile towards each other, they discovered on a subsequent meeting that part of what draws them together is the bicker (or bantering as Siena likes to call it).  It’s part of who they are as a couple.  They push and pull each other, but it’s done in a way that can be fun, flirty but equally as a way to talk out their issue.  Cash and Siena bring a balance to each others lives (he always being prepared and she showing him how to let loose), which helps them both when their day jobs try to overtake their lives.

This was one of those books that was just fun to read.  The characters were fun and the storyline moved at a pace that made me want to keep reading.  As with the other books in the series, the Remington siblings play a big role in the “focus” character’s life.  This time we get to see just how protective the brothers are of their little sister and how welcoming they can be when they know the man their sister has fallen for is just like them.

If you haven’t picked up a Melissa Foster book, this is a great one to read.  Despite being number three in the series, it can be read as a stand alone and it’s an awesome way to get introduced to the Remington clan.

Kate Parello 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.

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.
