In RIVER OF LOVE...

River rafting and adventure company owner Sam Braden works hard and plays harder. He's fast, focused, and determined--and never at a loss for a willing woman to share his time with. The trouble is, the only woman he wants refuses him at every turn.


Physician assistant Faith Hayes escaped her painful past and built a safe, happy life in Peaceful Harbor. She's also put what she's learned to good use helping others by founding Women Against Cheaters, an online support group. When her boss's sinfully sexy brother sets his sights on sweet Faith, she knows the self-professed player is everything she shouldn't want, and she's determined to resist him.


Sam pulls out all the stops, proving to Faith that his past doesn't have to define his future. As she lets down her guard and begins to trust Sam, intense conversations turn to intimate pleasures. But when real life steps in and their pasts collide, it's Faith who's left with something to prove.

Another hot, sexy read set in the wonderful town of Peaceful Harbor. Honestly, I struggled to get started with this book, having trouble relating to the heroine and her struggles and concerns with Sam at the beginning, but as the story progressed, I became invested in Faith and Sam and their relationship. Sam is perhaps one of the more complex characters I've read from Melissa Foster. He's alpha male, through and through, but has incredible insight into his own past behaviors. He's also a rare alpha-male that not only owns his feelings, but is comfortable talking about them. He actually wants to talk about his feelings. And that's exactly what Faith needs. I think my biggest struggle at the beginning was that I wasn't feeling Faith's pain to the depth or extent that she did, so the creation of WAC felt like an over-reaction. But over time, I began to feel her pain and understood more where she was coming from. And being an internet and web-forum junkie, I get exactly how relationships can build online and be a real as ones that grew in person. I was completely blind-sided (in a good way) by the event that challenges Faith and Sam's relationship, but really liked how Faith and Sam dealt with it and questioned themselves, as well as each other. It gave each of them an opportunity for self-reflection and introspection and an opportunity to see if their relationship could withstand the potential struggles they faced. I love the entire Braden family and got an opportunity to catch up with some favorite members in this book. I look forward to coming back to Peaceful Harbor and checking in with the Bradens and some of the other characters the author has been introducing and endearing to the reader. Disclosure: I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Wow....Sam is such a complex character. In Melissa's books usually the female makes the most changes, but in this book it's the male. I'm so happy about that. I like to see different angles that an author can take. Sam is a ladies man with a reputation to match his wild ways....thats until Faith turns him down for a date. It's not the first time it's happened to Sam, but it doesn't happen often. Sam reevaluated his life to be the man Faith needs. Even when friends and family aren't happy about the coupling, love wins out! The audio of his book is just amazing. It gives you emotion and you feel like you are right there.

Sam and Faith's book was awesome. Sam has not had a girlfriend since he had his heart broken at 16. Faith had her ex cheat on her a few years ago, and had some major trust issues. Can Sam prove to her that he is got eyes only for her, can she learn to trust, not just Sam, but her feelings
