This is a fantasy and a love story complete with an orphaned princess and a noble warrior king. A strong Christian message is hidden in the story and I don't want to give away the plot for future readers. The writer shows a lot of promise.
I believe with more experience she will write even more captivating stories. I felt the editing could have been a bit better and that the story would have greatly improved with more showing of action rather than telling. It's a common mistake many novice writers make. Those were my main reasons for the 3 star rating. One person found this helpful. Although this book is not my typical genre, I was intrigued and captivated. A love story, that shows God in all of His glory.
The love developed will spark such an intimate emotion. The personal connection to each character in the story is easy, but my favorite is Marcus. You will not be disappointed with this novel. Your imagination will be taken back in time, transported, and become a part of this fantastic adventure.
I look forward to more novels from Deborah.
I give this 5 starts as this is not my usual read, but it is well deserved. Beautifully written; a picture of God's love story for His children. I loved the imagery that captures the imagination of two kingdoms representing both good and evil and how God uses both to draw us closer to Him. Deborah does a wonderful job building excitement and touching the heart of the reader through each character. A must read for anyone who ever questions God's presence in their life.
Thank you Deborah for sharing your amazing story!

A beautiful book with a distinct Good vs. Evil theme, which I always love. I had a feeling I would love this novel the moment I saw its cover. Although I'm not a fantasy-enthusiast, I found myself caught up in its pages and held by its sweet message of love and redemption This is a debut novel by this author. And, I personally applaud both her telling of this story, and also her heart, from which this tale came.
I'm looking forward to reading more by this author. I received a free ecopy from the author, in exchange for an honest review. And, that is precisely what I have given. See all 7 reviews.

And I loved that he called Addy sexy girl. I was in like with Addy. I loved her confidence and snarky attitude, but I wasn't in love with her aloofness and unreasonable stubbornness.
Rescued by Love was told in a dual POV, was well written and well developed. Foster set the stage in the first few chapters well, adding insight, primarily from Jake's perspective, so we knew what to expect as the foundation of their relationship and anticipated direction. Jake and Addy had been dancing around each other for months.
Jake pushing to sleep with her, and Addy pushing Jake away. Addy was Gabriella's best friend and Jake was Duke's brother, so neither wanted to mess with family. The anticipation was built so high that they exploded when they finally agreed to "a one night stand. Addy wasn't so quick to agree and Foster then began to unravel the many layers of Addy, providing depth and dimension to the storyline.
True to Foster's style, we were graced with the full Ryder and Stryker clans as the supporting cast of characters, which provided additional depth to the storyline. We'll have one more Ryder story, Gage and Sally in Swept Into Love, then hopefully we'll see some Stryker books on the horizon as well.

Okay, so these kids thought that a one and done was gonna cut it Let the games begin: Addison Dahl has something to prove, but only to herself. She is all consumed with it. She thinks going off into the wilderness all on her own on a hi It should be noted that I HATE that I have not been able to go back to the beginning of the entire Love in Bloom series and catch up! But of course our hero, Jake Ryder, is a professional search and rescue man so You guys, seriously, this story is love! These two were so perfect for each other it was ridic. I can't really go into a play by play because that's the entire fun of the story itself but believe me , you're gonna love this story!
Melissa has a way of making her characters so real and relatable and likeable. Addison was borderline childish with her stubbornness at times, but you still love her and want to hug her! And don't get me started on Jake! Read ALL the books! Copy provided for blog tour review Jan 30, Nadene Totally Addicted to Reading rated it liked it. Writing this review proved a difficult task.
After reading Chased by Love, which I loved, I was looking forward to reading Rescued by Love so much so, that I chose to read on the weekend when I would have little or no interruptions. I wanted to savour every moment, but unfortunately, things did not go as planned. I had a difficult time getting into the story, which is a first for me where the author is concerned. The story was slow to the point that it felt like it was not going anywhere.
I Writing this review proved a difficult task. Developing a connection with the main characters was difficult. Addison had an unhappy childhood even though she lived a privileged life. As an adult, she was determined to prove that she was able to survive without her trust fund. She considered love to be over-rated and denied that she needed it in her life. To prove her theory, she never slept with the same man more than once. Personally, I believed her actions reeked of self-loathing. Initially, I understood her need to be independent, but after some time her actions became frustrating.
She refused to accept help when offered for fear it may rob her of her independence. That only highlighted her insecurities and her selfishness. I was not sure what to make of Jake. It was evident that he was a hot, sexy, alpha male with a stubborn streak a mile long, but that was as far as it went.
His backstory was severely lacking, which made him an unmemorable character. The romance did nothing for me. Addison spent most of the time that they were together, denying her feelings. They got involved with each other without knowing much about one another. Their connection was more sexual than emotional. I never tire of reading about the bonds of family and friendships. Did I enjoy this installment?
Would I continue the series?
Would I recommend this title? Not every reader has the same taste, and what I find to be mediocre, may be top notch for someone else. This story was my least favourite of the series. Jan 11, Under the Covers Book Blog rated it really liked it. I'm deeply in love with all the Ryders! Jake Ryder is a SAR professional, he's committed to his job because there's nothing more he loves than being outdoors, he's also, like all the Ryders brothers, a gorgeous alpha male who has been lusting after Addy, his sister in law's best friend, for months.
Even though, he's been relentless pursuing and charming her, Addy's still resisting the chemistry between them and that's driving him crazy. Addy is a stubborn independent I'm deeply in love with all the Ryders! Addy is a stubborn independent woman, she's the queen of one night stands and she's perfectly happy in her skin. But then she meets Jake, she knows she can't give in to their mutual attraction because Jake is her best friend's brother in law and they keep running into each other.
Jake is off limits, even if he's trying so damn hard to drive her crazy. At Duke and Gabriella's wedding, hot steamy looks, tequila and a little bit if jealousy finally tear down Addy's resistance but after one night, Addy can't keep Jake out of her mind. And Jake, after finally having Addy where he wants her, realizes that he's in for the fight of his life.
Jake and Addy are two of a kind, really perfect to each other and I couldn't stop reading their story. It was so intense that I just couldn't put my e-reader down! The banter, the flirting, the chemistry between them was absolutely incredible. I loved Jake so much, he's the perfect mix of sweet, alpha, protective, romantic and sexy. Rescued by Love can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading the complete series. Melissa Foster delivered another perfectly balanced hot, steamy, emotional romance. I literally can't wait for Gage's book! Jan 01, Lisa rated it it was amazing.
This was another great story by Ms. The characters Addy and Jake have to work toward their HEA as they battle trust issues, control issues, insecurities, their lust for each other as well as their pasts. The plot of this story was fast moving but not too fast making this book hard to put down.
I enjoyed the return of some of the characters of the previous books as the start of this book was at Duke and Gabriella's wedding with Boone and Trish's wedding to follow. I also enjoyed how famil This was another great story by Ms. I also enjoyed how family centered it was as with all of Ms.
As usual, I loved that despite the epic hot sex the characters were having the moment when they realize that despite not trying, they fell in love with the other. Addy fought this the hardest but I enjoyed watching her eye opening moment. I like how the characters reflected inside themselves to get to their HEA.
Overall, this was a great story with a lot of self discovery for Jake and Addy as Jake learned that he could not charge in all of the time and Addy learned to trust. I, like the other books in this series would recommend it to others! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book. I listened to the audio version of this book.
I found myself having a surprisingly difficult time getting into this book. I'm still not sure why. Addy was a pretty strong character who was determined to do things on her own, in her business and when she took off on a hiking trip by herself. Jake was definitely an alpha who wanted to protect her, but was smart enough to step back when her independence came to light.
He is a rescue professional, s I listened to the audio version of this book. He is a rescue professional, so that was a hard thing for him to deal with, but he did it for her sake. That should have made me fall in love with him--I love strong, protective heroes. I would have liked more conflict in the story and maybe some strong subplots. I still really can't say why I didn't connect to this story, but I just didn't.
I also think maybe there have been so many narrated by B. Harrison, that they all sound exactly the same at this point. Jul 13, Laurel rated it really liked it. Just blown away by this book. Melissa Foster is one of my favourite contemporary adult romance writers and this book did not disappoint.
One of my favourite in the series and can be read as a standalone. The passion and raw emotion shown by Jake is off the scale! Nice to read about a vulnerable male unafraid to show his feelings. The relationship between Addy and Jake is intense and amazing.
The only reason I give it 4. Jan 10, Sara Koelsch rated it really liked it. Melissa Foster is just a fantastic writer! Rescued by Love Book 4 in The Ryders series. Foster writes in a way that even though these books are a part of a series, they can be read as a standalone, without any confusion.
I highly recommend absolutely anything with her name on it, and her newest, Rescued by Love is no exception. This is where he goes to look for look for mischief. But Addy has other plans. Jul 13, Laurel rated it really liked it. She keeps things casual when it comes to men, but lately she finds herself thinking way too much about her friend Jake Ryder who also happens to be the brother-in-law of her friend getting married.
It seemed as if there was more self discovery in this book than others. And I just loved that. I loved reading abo Melissa Foster is just a fantastic writer! I loved reading about Jake, the playboy of the family. There was so much sexual tension and banter. It really seemed like the wedding weekend was a long time in the making.
She creates these wonderfully intense and compassionate heroes and heroines. You can feel how deeply and passionately these characters feel for each other… no matter how hard they fight it. The characters are all people you can relate to and understand. Foster sure knows romance!!!

This is a review from my blog: That is what you will experience when you read this book. Jake and Addie have been flirting ever since they met at a get together with his siblings. His brother was getting married to Addie's best friend. He had tried to serve himself up on a silver platter for her, but she would not give in. That is until the night of his brother's wedding. Jake is a playboy, but his is fierce and loyal to the on This is a review from my blog: Jake is a playboy, but his is fierce and loyal to the ones that matter. His heart is his family and search and rescue, that is until the night he met the sexy, smart-mouthed Addie.
After he met her he could not be with another woman. She intrigued him too much for him to get with another woman. He wanted her more than he knew and every time they were near each other she set his body on fire.
Addie grew up having her father do everything for her and her mother. He made all of the decisions and she hated it. Her grandmother told her about her first marriage and how much they were in love, and she made Addie promise on her death-bed that she would not settle for anything but her storm. When Addie finished college she refused her trust fund and went against her parents and did everything on her own.
She didn't want anyone to tell her how to live and what to do. After he met Jake she fought with everything she had to not go to bed with him. She knew he would be her undoing and she could not have that in her life. The night of Duke and Gabriella's wedding Jake made a play for Addie. He wanted her in the worst way and was tired of her turning away. They all sat around the table and was playing a drinking game and everyone left except for Jake and Addie. They talked for a while then things turned hot. They woke up the next morning on the ground not to far from where they had started.
She was mortified of the fact that Gabriella's family might have seen her. She had told him it was only going to be a one night stand to get the wanting out of their system. Boy had she been wrong.
