Enticing Her Love
By Melissa Foster

Rating: ★★★★ (4/5)

Alright, everyone, buckle up because I just finished an ARC that had me grinning like an idiot and fanning myself more than once. Melissa Foster's Enticing Her Love is a rollercoaster of emotions, witty banter, and steamy romance that you won’t want to miss.

Let’s start with Sutton and Flynn—our dynamic duo who’ve worked together for years. Sutton is convinced that Flynn's sole purpose in life is to get her fired. I mean, who doesn’t love a good workplace rivalry, right? But oh, how wrong she is. When they get sent to the Ecuadorian rainforest for a work assignment—just the two of them—the tension is so thick you could cut it with a machete. And then, surprise! They discover they’ve only been sent with one tent. ONE TENT, people! Cue the awkward, yet sizzling, tent-sharing adventures complete with a circle of pink flowers around the poop hole. Yes, you read that right!

Watching the animosity between these two melt into undeniable chemistry was like watching a pot of water finally boil—slow to start, but then all-consuming. Seriously, it was sweet, hot, and everything you want in a good romance. And can we talk about their return home? They decide to keep their rainforest fling a secret and go their separate ways because, you know, boss and employee drama. Yeah, good luck with that. Secretly, neither of them wants this but they are scared to speak up. This leads to them talking on the phone every night, "as friends", and I was surprised at how delighted I was for these characters do such an old school thing - does anyone talk on the phone anymore these days?! (Don't get me wrong, there's tons of cheeky texting!) Fate has other plans, and let's just say, the longing and heartache that follows is both deliciously torturous and utterly satisfying.

Melissa Foster is a master at creating characters you can’t help but fall in love with. Each one feels like someone you’d want to have over for a BBQ—if only to witness the epic family pranks firsthand. Yes, there’s family drama and pranks that had me laughing out loud. The witty banter and flirtation not only between Sutton and Flynn, but then entire family are top-notch, and the emotional depth is just enough to tug at your heartstrings without making you a sobbing mess (always a plus).

In short, Enticing Her Love is a must-read for anyone who loves a good romance filled with relatable characters, laugh-out-loud moments, and steamy scenes that’ll have you turning on the fan. Trust me, clear your schedule because once you start, you won’t want to put this book down.

Happy reading, and may your tent always be big enough for two!

HOLY HOTNESS, BATMAN, SUTTON & FLYNN SET THE RAINFOREST ON FIRE!

I'm a HUGE fan of Melissa Foster's because she gives us stories with such depth you can't help but feel as if you're part of the family or a close friend. Sutton has been complaining about her boss, Flynn Braden, for a while. She's convinced he is trying to get her fired, but she doesn't know why. She is good at her job and goes above and beyond what is expected of her, so why on earth would he want to have her fired?

There is a fine line between love and hate, which is even thinner than expected in this story. Flynn and Sutton have fantastic chemistry, and their witty banter is like foreplay. The Queen of Practical Jokes, Melissa Foster, lays out some stellar ones in Enticing Her Love!

I absolutely loved Enticing Her Love by Melissa Foster; it is an incredible enemies to lovers love story. It was a bittersweet book for me since it is the sixth and final book in her The Steeles at Silver Island series. Melissa Foster continues to prove that she is an amazing storyteller and continues to be one of my favorite authors to read. I love that Melissa Foster continues to write the books that I love to read. Enticing Her Love was impossible to put down and I loved every moment on every page. It was one of the most enjoyable books that I have read recently! Who does not love hot sexy men, strong females, loving families, and friends, who always support one another? I love how Melissa Foster somehow manages to find the "perfect" heroine, who is a strong woman on her own, to balance out her men. Enticing Her Love is the story of Sutton Steele, reporter for the Discovery Hour on the World Exploration Network, and her boss, Flynn Braden, survivalist. Sutton dislikes Flynn and believes that Flynn is trying to get her fired. Flynn and Sutton are heading for the Amazon rainforest. At the last minute their boss, Karen changes the itinerary and instead of staying with a local tribe, they are heading into the rainforest alone for seventy-two hours. Flynn will be the cameraman. As Sutton and Flynn spend time together in the rainforest, things quickly heat up between them. I love that Flynn admits that he has always been attracted to Sutton. I love all the new things that Sutton tried in the rainforest and all the special things that Flynn did to take care of her, I especially love the terrifying surprise on their last day. Dirty talking Flynn is my favorite part of the story. I love the chemistry between Sutton and Flynn. Conversation between Sutton and Flynn flows so easily, with innuendos and playful banter, and Flynn constantly flirting with Sutton. I love that they share secrets with one another, that they had not shared with anyone before. Believing that World Exploration Network has a non-fraternalization policy, Flynn and Sutton decide to end things when they return to New York. They begin to secretly date and spend time with one another. An unexpected plot twist puts their lives in jeopardy and has them admitting their real feelings for one another. I love everything that Flynn does to show Sutton how much she means to him and everything he wants to do to have a life with her regardless of where, especially after a plot twist that has Sutton interviewing for a new job. I loved that Enticing Her Love is more than just a romance, there are dilemmas that both Sutton and Flynn are facing that need to be resolved. I love how the storylines get so beautifully resolved. I love the changes that both Flynn and Sutton make in their lives so that they can have a life with one another. I love the heart-to-heart conversations in Enticing Her Love. I loved attending Indi and Archer’s wedding! I love Flynn and Sutton ’s love story and the ending of their perfect love story. My favorite part are all the pranks that are played during the book, especially the one that Melissa Fosters plays on her readers. I love the book that Sutton is reading in the rainforest. Another favorite part is everything that Flynn does to help make Sutton ’s dreams come true. I love all the little things that Flynn does for Sutton to prove his love, especially the bookmark he had made for her and the bracelet he makes for her and its significance. I love the treasure hunt that Sutton does for Flynn where she included his family. I LOVE Flynn’s proposal, and the event leading up to the proposal. Melissa Foster truly delivered a book that was so worthy of Sutton and a farewell to the Steeles, especially since it included her enemy, Flynn. I really enjoy how the book is told from the perspective of the main characters. I love getting the insight and feelings from the different characters. Enticing Her Love is filled with heartbreaking and heartwarming moments. Enticing Her Love is filled with all those things that we have come to love and expect in a Melissa Foster love story, especially with the poignant and bittersweet moments that filled this page turner. My favorite part is how she incorporates the picture on the cover into the love story. Enticing Her Love is filled with poignant and bittersweet moments as well as plot twists. I love the characters and the family dynamic in Enticing Her Love. The characters feel like family and friends. I love that it felt like a family reunion and loved catching up with the other Steele siblings. I loved all the new babies! I enjoyed all the interactions between the Steele siblings and Flynn’s interactions with them, it feels like real family love and makes me laugh at their teasing and I love all their pranks. I loved all the characters in Enticing Her Love, and the descriptions of the rainforest setting. I felt like I was there exploring the rainforest with Sutton and Flynn. It was such an enjoyable book to read. I am looking forward to reading the books in the new series that Melissa Foster is creating. Who does not love family and friends that always have each other’s backs? I thoroughly enjoyed Enticing Her Love. Highly recommend this incredible love story. Received an advanced copy from the author.

Enticing Her Love: Sutton Steele is a contemporary romance and book six of The Steeles of Silver Island.

Sutton Steele always wanted to be a news reporter and she has a great job on a Discovery Hour programme. She loves almost everything about her job, except her boss; he’s mean and critical of her work, making her feel that he is one step away from firing her.

Flynn Braden has been fighting his attraction to Sutton since she joined his team eighteen months ago. If he can control their contact time perhaps he can keep his feelings for her locked down.

Everything changes when Flynn and Sutton embark on an Amazon rainforest survival project. Thrown together with no support team they must trust each other while filming, and thriving in a place where everything wants to eat a piece of them.

I enjoyed the Amazon rainforest setting for this story, as well as the later visit to East Coast Silver Island where Sutton’s family live. This is a sexy romance with strong family themes and it draws together several other family branches from this author’s stable of books.

[Julie Booklover · Rating 4 out of 5]

Melissa Foster’s latest is a rollercoaster of emotions, heat and chemistry, as only she can write, and plenty of banter. Her large family and drama is a party you want to be invited to.

We are no strangers to Sutton and Flynn, but being with them as they navigate the rainforest, tension and one tent. It is the awkward, slow burn that dissolves to more, which has my attention and makes me turn pages.

With plenty of laughs, heat and romance this is a perfect ending to the series. I am looking forward to what Ms. Foster brings next.

Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review

Nous voilà arrivés avec le dernier tome de la série "The Steeles at Silver Island" "Enticing her love" avec la dernière fille de la fratrie encore célibataire : Sutton. Cette jeune femme vit loin de son île puisqu'elle est reporter pour une chaîne et travaille avec le célébrissime "Flynn Braden" qui est spécialiste du reportage survivaliste : tous deux ont une relation extrêmement compliquée, voire houleuse et la jeune femme est persuadée qu'il ne l'aime pas depuis qu'elle a été engagée.
Or, quand leur patronne leur annonce qu'ils devront se rendre tous les deux (et uniquement tous les deux!) dans la forêt amazonienne pendant 3 nuits et devront se débrouiller tous les deux : Sutton devra animer le reportage et Flynn devra la filmer : autant vous dire qu'ils ne semblent pas ravis tous les deux de se retrouver seuls, dans un milieu aussi hostile et où chaque petite erreur, si on ne sait pas, peut vous coûter la vie : Flynn sait ce qu'il fait et connaît bien la forêt et Sutton a fait des recherches poussées mais de là à faire confiance et confier sa vie à quelqu'un qui semble vous détester, c'est difficile, non? mais si cette froideur du jeune homme cachait autre chose? Ce voyage ne peut que changer leur vie mais au moment où la jeune femme veut postuler pour un autre poste plus important et donc quitter son patron, tout rapprochement serait idiot, non? Or, quand vous n'avez pas confiance l'un en l'autre, le moindre doute peut poser des problèmes mais don't worry, nous sommes chez Melissa Foster et les personnages agissent en adultes et trouvent toujours le ou les moyens de se parler et d'affronter ce qui pourrait les séparer! ou pas!! ^^
En tout cas, comme toujours, j'ai adoré ce dernier tome et attendez-vous à des surprises car comme toujours, Melissa sait nous toucher, nous faire rire, réfléchir et nous surprendre et notamment au moment, où on s'y attend le moins. ;) Attendez-vous à hurler ou être choqué ;) mdrrr

Sutton & Flynn were fire together. Who knew all it took was a rainforest for them to burn.

Although even if I had Flynn by my side, I would not have gone into that rainforest with him hahaha – I’m too much of a scary cat.

Melissa Foster has a way of getting all my emotions out in a book. One page I’m laughing my head off and the next I’m crying my heart out. This book was absolutely great and a wonderful “ending” to the Steeles from Silver Island series, although, what an intro into Flynn’s siblings and we know that their books are up next.

The book starts off with banter that gets you laughing and waiting in anticipation for what’s going to happen next. To be honest though, I think they were set up by their boss. Their chemistry was amazing.

As usual, we see the rest of the Steeles and we get to meet Flynn’s siblings, although we’ve heard about them before and met one or two in previous books. The Steele siblings as usual were full of pranks, the one prank outdoing the other. It was hilarious to read about. I felt I was part of it.

Sutton is a strong, fierce, go getter and has grown much faster in her career than she would’ve had she not had a strong leader pushing her. She didn’t know that Flynn was getting her to shine when he pushed her so much until their time alone.

Their relationship is built around enjoying each other’s company and respecting each other’s views and needs for adventure and peaceful, chill moments. They were two peas in a pod once their sexual tension was taken care of. I loved that once they started getting to know each other, they fell into each other’s lives. They seem to just fit after that stubborn streak of “hate” towards each other. They were the soulmates they needed in each other. Someone to talk to, go on adventures on, just chill in front of the fire and read. It was a love story filled with swoon.

In this story you’ll find:

💕Pranks!!!!!!!🤣

💕Spicy scenes – tent, supply room, waterfall 🌶️🥵

💕Sibling shenanigans

💕Spicy texts

💕Hidden relationship

💕Rainforest adventures

💕Archer! If you know, you know!

💕Protective Steele women

💕Grandparents wisdom

💕Treasure hunt

Sutton and Flynn’s story is definitely my favourite Steele book and I gave them 🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 for giving me ALL THE FEELS.

I’m looking forward to the next lot of Bradens

In "Enticing Her Love," Foster showcases her sense of humor with a light-hearted and humorous story. The witty banter and comical pranks are sure to have readers laughing out loud, while the romantic elements will leave them swooning. Fans of the forced proximity and enemies-to-lovers tropes will delight in the story of Flynn Braden and Sutton Steele.

I had been eagerly awaiting Sutton and Flynn's story. I went with high expectations and Foster did not disappoint.  Sutton, a reporter, and Flynn, her boss, barely tolerated each other, with Sutton convinced that Flynn wanted her fired. Her complaints to family and friends painted an equally unfavorable picture of Flynn. However, a change in their latest assignment saw them going to the Amazon Rainforest, where they were forced to share a tent for three days. It was there that their suppressed chemistry ignited, leading them to explore their hidden desires. Throughout this journey, they discovered that their initial perceptions of each other were far from accurate.

Sutton and Flynn's clever banter left me laughing out loud on numerous occasions. Viewing the Rainforest from their perspective was fascinating. I am content living vicariously through their experience, because I lack the mental and physical resilience required for such an endeavor.


As they grew closer, returning to their normal working lives and keeping their relationship hidden from coworkers became a challenge. It was a true test of their love for one another, but once again, love triumphed. Beyond the playful banter, the story was filled with emotional moments that I cherished, especially as they learned more about each other.

As with all her novels, family is a central theme, infusing the story with warmth. For those familiar with the Steele's at Silver Island series, pranking is a tradition. The pranks in this latest book were exceptionally hilarious, keeping me laughing throughout.

Although this is the final installment in the Steele series, Foster's storytelling still promises more, and I eagerly anticipate diving into another adventure within the worlds she creates.  "Enticing Her Love" delivered a wonderful blend of passion, sensuality, humor, and warmth—hallmarks of an engaging romantic tale.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading

⭐ 3.5

The truth is that I liked this book, it has everything I love about Melissa's writing, plus the whole thing about surviving in the jungle for three days with your boss that you can't stand is something that intrigued me to read and it didn't disappoint. I liked Flynn and Sutton, their personalities were unique and their relationship was nice, how they interacted with their families and how they were together filled me with sighs. Now, I didn't give it a higher score because I felt that something was missing and that ending didn't quite fit me, despite that I enjoyed reading this story and obviously I'm going to wait for the other books by this author because I LOVE her way of writing.

📌 I received an e-arc, and this is my honest opinion/review of it.

---

La verdad es que me gusto, tiene todo lo que amo de la escritura de Melissa, además de que todo eso de sobrevivir en la selva tres días con tu efe el cual no soportas es algo que me intrigaba leer y no decepciono. Flynn y Sutton me gustaron, sus personalidades fueron únicas y su relación fue bonita, como interactuaban con sus familias y como estaban juntos me lleno de suspiros. Ahora bien no le di una puntuación mas alta porque sentí que me falto algo y ese final no me termino de cuadrar, a pesar de eso disfrute leer esta historia y obviamente voy a esperar los demás libros de esta autora porque AMO su forma de escribir.

Usually, when I read a Melissa Foster book, I come out satisfied. I know what to expect in her writing and character development. However, there are rare times I am disappointed, unfortunately Enticing Her Love is one of those times. I have been looking forward to Sutton’s story since she was first introduced in book one, and Flynn’s mentions in books throughout the series intrigued me. Their storyline is usually one of my favorites in the way in which it plays out. But their characters just weren’t enough for me. The storyline was intriguing, and the editing was strong. But these characters did not draw me in the way I want in a story.

With many of the Steele siblings, the chemistry is unmatched. However, in Enticing Her Love, the chemistry didn’t flow off the page. I enjoyed their banter, but the relationship side didn’t work for me. This isn’t to say I didn’t enjoy the story I did. There were definitely moments in the book that I enjoyed. Flynn for sure had some swoony moments. Sutton was a strong character who knew who she was and what she wanted. But the spark that I want in a Foster book wasn’t there. I LOVE the Steele family as a whole, but this one missed the mark for me.

Enticing Her Love offers an adventure romance between two enemies forced to work together to survive the Amazon rainforest. It has dislike to love, just one tent, top-notch banter and a lot of steamy moments. Plus a fun family who plays epic pranks on each other.

I truly loved these two together. Sutton and Flynn were combustible. There was so much delicious tension right from the start. I loved their banter, spicy texts and how adventurous they both were. I liked how Flynn challenged Sutton and gave her a chance to shine. I love when the enemies to lovers trope is actually he loved her all along. It's so sweet when the truth is revealed.

Boy, did Foster deliver on the spicy scenes! Let me hint that there's a waterfall spicy scene among others. Definitely will make your heart skip a beat!

Enticing Her Love is a wonderful book filled with romance, adventure, spice and humor. Although the last book in this series, each is an interconnected standalone. Would recommend to anyone!

This is the sixth book in the series. I do love the Steeles. This one has a little adventure to it. There is no way I could have done what they did in the Amazon Rainforest. I give them mad props for what they do for their jobs. Lines are blurred between boss and employee when things start to heat up between them. These two definitely have enemies to lovers vibes. Their experience in the Rainforest sure opened their eyes to who they really are. This book delivers on the feels, heat, and humor. I loved catching up with Sutton's family especially the littles. Then getting to know some of Flynn's. A really great book that was hard to put down! These characters are going to stay with me for a bit after finishing this book.

[Janeen · Rating 5 out of 5]

It took me a long time to finish this book......but that had nothing to do with the book and everything to do with life getting in the way.

I've been waiting for Flynn & Sutton's story for a very long time and it did not disappoint. The sparks fly between these two from page one and it is completely engrossing and entertaining.

As usual, Foster does an amazing job pulling the reader into the story and not letting go. I love how she includes past characters that we want to catch up with and new ones that we can't wait to get to know better. She makes the reader wish that Silver Island was real and a place we could all visit!

DNF at 5%, the set up is just insane, what kind of boss would sacrifice a pre-planned hard to achieve look into an Amazon tribe in favor of forcing two people (one of whom has 0 experience in survival) to walk around Amazonian forest without a guide or any support team.

Sugar and smaltz content in this one is high. summer cotton candy reading not a ton of substance. I love the family dynamic but it times it actually overpowered the story of the main characters . And all those smexy times in the rainforest - just ick germs.

[Nate Brightman · Rating 4 out of 5]

With Sutton Steele’s and Flynn Braden’s pairing this is the 6th and final book in Foster’s The Steeles of Silver Island series that began way back with Jock Steele and single mom Daphne. Or maybe Jock’s story wasn’t the official start of this series? Maybe it was Jules Steele’s and Grant Silver’s story? I can’t really remember as Foster’s series tend to overlap as one introduces another? Although it appears that the real-life time line between the first book in this series and this book being released is much longer than the time line in the series which is only a couple of years from Jock and Daphne to Sutton and Flynn. This is definitely not the last time however we’ll visit Silver Island as there are a few of the Silver family, descendants of the founder of the island to be paired up along with some other still single residents. And while the Steeles have now all found true love only Jules, Jock and Archer are married so we may be privy to a few more Steele weddings.
To my recollection any time Sutton Steele made an appearance in this series the subject of her asshole boss Flynn Braden is brought up. Now anyone who is a veteran reader of Melissa Foster’s Love in Bloom Universe knows that the Braden’s are as the founding family, the bedrock her multi-series universe has been built upon are practically royalty. Many of her series are built upon some branch of the Braden family and even those that aren’t (like this one) usually have a Braden or two in them. And while the Braden men can sometime act likes asses, (as we men are sometimes prone to do) they are not actual assholes. They are good, decent and of course exceeding beautiful men and beautiful women. So long before this story was ever published we could surmise two things. The first being that despite Sutton’s impressions of her boss, there is no way Flynn Braden is the jerk she believes him to be. Secondly, these two were definitely headed for an enemies to lovers trope. Even Sutton’s sister Leni once said to her, “why don’t you just fuck him and get it over with?” And here it is.
Flynn Braden was actually a jerk to Sutton Steele when she began working for him, and he really did try to get her fired. He was a jerk because first off, he didn’t believe the beautiful always put together woman he liked to refer to as "Glamour Girl"the LWW brass had given the job of reporter for the series that was his brainchild was qualified for the job. Why he as the series creator had no input into the hiring remains a mystery? He believed she got the job because she is a sorority sister of the women who founded the LWW empire. And the fact that Flynn found himself maddeningly attracted to the beautiful blonde gave him all the more reason to want to get rid of her because he couldn’t have someone he was that strongly attracted to working for him. Which is the reason that even after Sutton has spent the past year and a half proving herself to him with her intelligence, grit and determination he still keeps her at arm’s length and is often curt if not outright rude to her, never uttering a word about what a great job she’s doing to her. After a year and a half of putting up with her ogre of a boss Sutton has had just about enough. Her lifelong dream never had been to be a reporter for a travel show. She has always dreamed of being the next Barbara Walters. So when a job opening appears at semi- rival network GNN (think CNN) for an anchor spot she immediately applies for it.
And from this point on in the story we travel down the road of the fantasy in contemporary romance. Flynn and Sutton were scheduled to leave for a week of living with an aboriginal tribe deep in the Amazon rainforest. But at the last moment even though she knows Flynn and Sutton are hardly collegial, she decides to switch things up on them. Instead of sending them and a camera crew to spend a week in the rainforest with the natives exploring their culture, she decides she’s going to send just Flynn with his camera and Sutton, alone into the rain forest for seventy-two hours with little more than
the clothes on their backs. These two haven’t even made it to the actual rain forest before they get into a vicious argument that leads to both of them laying their cards on the table. Sutton tells Flynn she’s aware he's wanted her fired from the start and she’s damn sick of hearing him praise her co-workers for good work without ever complimenting her for her hard work. Flynn admits he tried to get Sutton fired at the start because he felt she got the job because of her LWW connections. Then he claims that his withholding any praise for the work she’s done while constantly increasing her load was his way of challenging and mentoring her. He doesn’t tell her that real reason he hasn’t helped curate a warm working relationship is because he’s so attracted to her he’s afraid to. Their argument sort of helps clear the air between them but hardly leaves them on friendly terms. After hours of hiking through the rain forest with its oppressive heat, humidity dangerous plants, insects and animals with Flynn constantly warning Sutton to be aware of all the dangers that surround them, they finally arrive to set up camp only to discover they’ve only been given one literal pup tent for the two of them to share. You can guess what conveniently happens then. There’s a lot of cold shower worthy sex in this story. Maybe it’s just my perception but while Ms. Foster has never been shy about including steamy sex in her stories, there seems to me to be progressively more and more of it with each new book she releases. And when these two finally cross the forbidden boss-employee line, despite living previously as if sex is no big thing for them, they go at it like rabbits in heat. What happens in the rain forest is supposed to remain in the rain forest. Of course despite their best intentions once the lid is off that box their sexual chemistry is just too strong to ignore. But its far more than just a sexual attraction between them. When they take the time to really get to know each other they find they really like and admire one another. Which along with their off the charts sexual chemistry leads them to falling in love. Although following some unwritten rule of contemporary romance, even though they can’t stop thinking about one another, can’t keep their hands off each other (even at work) spend every spare minute outside of work together and often talk about a future together, it takes until a near death experience towards the end of this book for either of them to utter those three little words. I can only base it upon my life experience but I can’t conceive of two people in real life becoming that emotionally and physically close to one another and still being afraid to put a name to their feelings. But that’s contemporary romance where the sex comes before the I love yous.
This is your typical Melssia Foster book. That is along with a lot of steamy sex, there’s plenty of professions of deep, caring feelings if not actually using the word love. There’s lots of warm, loving family feels from both the Steele and Braden families. Although at this point I probably shouldn’t have been, I confess to being a bit shocked about how openly the Steele women discuss their sex lives even in front of their mom and grandmother who think nothing of it. Mom and dad have no issue with their yet to be married daughters (who admittedly are now well into their adulthoods) sharing a bed with their lovers under their roof. When one Steele fiancée announces she’s pregnant and is asked if she wants to move the date of their impending nuptials up because of the pregnancy, she replies, “no actually they want to move it out until after the baby arrives” everyone thinks it makes perfect sense. You know because marrying the person you are in love with and already planning to marry before you bring your child into the world really isn’t a big deal. I guess this is the new norm, but as an aging Boomer I’m still trying to get use to it. This being the final Steele’s book all of the Steele family have a strong presence. Other residents of Silver Island and Flynn’s family are included in the story. In fact a future series features Flynn’s three brothers and widowed sister Victory is in the offing. Victory or Vick reluctantly falls for Wells Silver in Flirting with Trouble part of the Silver’s series leading into a new series, The Bradens at Bridgeport where Flynn’s bachelor brothers will fall in love? Of course, this wouldn’t be a Melissa Foster series without several characters from previous series who just happened to be related to or know the characters in this series at least being mentioned if not actually showing up in it. And of course, this story follows her typical story arc. Unlike some contemporary romance authors most of her stories aren’t slow burn as in the characters taking most of the book before they get naked together. The sex is introduced fairly early on but there are bumps and curves in the road to the couples happily ever after to be negotiated and overcome before the H.E.A. happens. Although at the onset I almost felt like I was reading a National Geographic with Foster’s focus on describing the rain forest I found this to be another very enjoyable addition to her Love in Bloom Universe and a fitting end to the Steele’s of Silver Island series.

[Sarah | Retro Girl Reads · Rating 5 out of 5]

“Enticing Her Love” is the sixth book in Melissa Foster’s The Steeles at Silver Island contemporary romance series, and it’s Sutton Steele and Flynn Braden’s story.

Melissa Foster is one of my favorite authors, and this book definitely didn’t disappoint! Flynn and Sutton’s story was swoony, spicy, and sweet, and it had the perfect amount of angst.

Flynn and Sutton had this incredible chemistry, and I could sense it from their very first interaction with each other. Their relationship developed very nicely over the course of the novel, and I was rooting for them the whole time.

I loved how protective Flynn was of Sutton, and I loved the way she made him feel at peace. I would absolutely recommend Enticing Her Love if you like the boss/employee trope. To sum this up, I can’t wait to see what Melissa Foster writes next!!!

Sutton knows her boss Flynn, cannot stand her. He's been trying to get her fired since she first started. Well, he's about to get his chance to be rid of her, when their boss sends them on an adventure to the rainforest (it's not a jungle!!) with only a tent between the two of them. They have to rough it until their assignment ends and this Glamour Girl is determined to prove to Flynn that she's more than a fashion loving diva. She didn't account for the burning tension becoming much more than just adversaries.



Sutton wants Flynn to see her as the valued reporter she is, and thinks he has nothing but contempt for her. If only she knew just how much he sees her, how much he wants her. But it can't happen and he knows it, so he hides his feelings so deeply she never guesses. But one trip to the rainforest latter, and forced proximity is allowing their natural chemistry to come to its inevitable consummation. Can they bring their newfound relationship back to the real world with them?



Funny, sexy, 2 big loving families, and lots of extended pranks? I could not get enough of Sutton and Flynn. They start off as boss/employee with obvious tension and in short time can't resist all the deliciousness in the air swirling through their one tent. I knew there was no way Flynn disliked Sutton, I mean, how could he - she's awesome! But the way they finally figured out they were head over heels for each other, and were both willing to give up everything for each other - I was swooning so hard and didn't want their story to end. Unfortunately, this is the last of the Steele stories, but wow, what an epic conclusion to this amazing series.

If you have ever read anything by Melissa Foster, then you already know that this woman can tell an amazing and captivating story. I was laughing so much while reading this book, but it also brings out many other emotions as well. This book is full of great characters, banter and so much more. This series has been a blast to read, and if you haven't checked it out or Melissa for that matter, you really need to. You will fall in love with her and her writing and become hooked like I am.

Enticing Her Love: Sutton Steele is the sixth and final book in Melissa Foster's series, The Steeles at Silver Island. Each book follows a different Steele, taking us down a road that uniquely all their own towards the happily ever after we readers of both romance and of Melissa, crave so much.

Of course, there's work to be done before we get there but as we all know, that's part of the fun. Luckily for us, it's the main characters doing all the work and we get to sit back, relax and enjoy what Melissa has in store for us.

Settle in, we're setting sail for one final trip to Silver Island with the one and only Sutton Steele at the wheel.

'Pro: Stuck sharing a bed with my hot, broody boss Con: He’s trying to get me fired

Sutton Steele is a reporter at 'Discovery Hour, who spends her working days trying to keep a firm hold of her much-needed and much loved job. This is hard to do when her boss, the irritatingly-hot, infuriating Flynn Braden would like nothing more than to see her vanish from the work floor. A tricky environment for Sutton to flourish, but she's determined to do so even with someone like Flynn as her boss.

Tricky, though, seems to follow Sutton wherever she goes. When an assignment which sees her within close and forced proximity with Flynn goes awry, they're faced with an unprecedented--yet tempting--situation neither can escape. One bed. One room. A remote location. It isn't where they are stuck together that is providing the sweltering temperature, it's the chemistry between them that has been slowly simmering away.

Here, now, this is where that simmer sizzles into a full-on inferno that is bound to bubble and boil over. It's just a matter of time, the seconds counting down at a rapid rate, until that happens.

By the time I turned the last page, I had a lot that I wanted to say about this book. All of it, I can assure you, was nothing but good things. So sit back, relax and let me tell you exactly what enticed me and my love, for Sutton and Flynn.

Brave, bold and daring, Sutton Steele was the embodiment of a strong female main character. She has to have been, with a bunch of Steele men surrounding her. It was bound to rub off and cement itself firmly within her personality and does indeed come in handy when she has to stand her ground against her stubborn, irritating boss. She's exactly what we readers have been waiting for throughout this series, and neither she nor her story disappointed in any way. She's a classically unique character written by an author who couldn't write a bad one if she tried.

Then we have the big boy, Flynn Braden. At first he may seem like a walking red flag, but like the rainforest he and Sutton travel to, he is all green. He just doesn't let it show. Or at least, not to the unworthy. Flynn's personality is as large as his body, though not in an outwardly vocal way. He shows it in the love for his family, his career and begrudgingly to him, through Sutton. Eventually. Not only that, he's good at giving her O's in her sleep in a tent in the middle of a rainforest, gives the cutest nicknames, is good with all kinds of snakes, handcrafts meaningful gifts, tag teams with 'toys', believes books are great gifting materials & stocks all of her favourites. You know, to name just a few things.

Sutton & Flynn's transition from long-suffering boss & employee, to ones stuck in a rainforest together and eventually, an item, was full of everything I have come to know & love about Melissa Foster and her writing. There was a perfect blend of sexual tension, sizzling chemistry, laugh-out-loud moments, angst and anger, all leading up to the happy ever after that wraps everything up nicely. Fiction, of course, lends its nature to situations and scenarios to moments, that if they were in the real world, would never happen. That to me, is what makes Enticing Her Love even more incredible. The impossible nature of what happens between Sutton & Flynn--and things around them--would of course not happen to any real life couple. The balance of fiction to realism leans more towards fiction, but that allows for Melissa's imagination and creativity to shine through. We're given the best of the Steeles and Braden's with these two and everywhere they went and everything that they were put through. Realism be damned.

I, for one, simply couldn't get enough of everything that was put into this book. It's very clear that heart & soul went into it, as is the case with every one of Melissa's books, though it seems we got more than our share of it with it being the last in the series. No complaints from me, there.

As sad as I am to say goodbye to the Steeles at Silver Island, I couldn't have asked for a better farewell than the one given to us in Enticing Her Love. This is how an ending to a series should be done. It doesn't feel like a finale, but more of a 'see you later', as we can always come back to any of the books, or even start from the very beginning, and live every single adventure all over again and fall even deeper for the characters who have brought us joy, comfort, and so much more.

Thank you, Melissa, for allowing us to make Silver Island our home.

"I’ll wait as long as it takes, because you’re worth waiting for."
What a way to end this series! Sutton and Flynn—and Melissa Foster—got me in love with love all over again. I’m going to miss this family so, so much (even if I know Melissa will bring them back somehow!)

"Were you born a dick, or did it take years of practice?"
Flynn… Come on! Everyone knows I’m a fan of the grumpy guys. And of banter. So it’s safe to assume he won me over right off the bat, but then he kept going: his honesty, loyalty, the size of his heart, the way his actions speak so much louder than his words… I love him.

"She had a way of getting under his skin and causing him to forget a hell of a lot more than his manners."
Sutton was flawless. She felt so real in her drive, in her pursuit of her dreams and what she wants—and also when she wouldn’t take Flynn’s shit. The way she gives as good as she gets made me fall in love with her too—and want to be her.

"The show is now focusing on the two of you surviving three nights—seventy-two hours—in the Amazon rainforest."
Sutton and Flynn work together—technically, he’s her boss. They don’t get along at all, and Sutton knows Flynn wants to get her fired. So how do you think she feels about spending a few days with him all alone in the Amazonian rainforest? Yeah, not good. And when they find out there’s only one tent? Yep, it’s a recipe for disaster.
Or is it?

"Know what’s not fun? Being hungry, thirsty, and wet and thinking you’re going to get wood so we can get more comfortable. But I’m still wet, and you have no wood."
The way they squabbled made me laugh. The way they’re at each other’s throats and somehow turn things into innuendo was very much all them. And you start to realize that this so-called "hatred" is more like two people attracted to each other who know they shouldn’t be but can’t stop themselves.

"Or maybe it was because there in the darkness, it felt like they were the last two people on earth,"
It’s in the Amazon rainforest that they give in and let it happen. Don’t get me wrong, it was hot (and I don’t mean the weather!) and so very unique given their surroundings, but what got to me was the way they opened up—without meaning to—to each other, giving each other something that went way beyond physical.
And unlike what they thought, what happens in the forest doesn't always stay there.

"God, I’ve missed you."
"You see me every day."
"No, babe. I see you every day through the veil of pretending not to really see you."
Their little bubble bursts when their time there is over and they need to come back to reality. To having to pretend to be at each other’s throats again when that’s now how it feels anymore—if ever. Flynn won my heart even more because we know he’s head over heels with this girl. If only things were different…

"I’m done following the rules. You’re coming home with me."
You know it won’t take long until they break. The way they circle each other, the stares, the text messages, the phone calls… Pretending only gets you so far. And you know these two were meant to be even when they were bickering.

"You will never have to compete for my attention or worry that I don’t think you’re the most incredible woman alive. Because to me there’s only you."
I love that Melissa doesn’t really write third-act breakups or adds drama for the sake of it. I love how it’s all real and something that could easily happen to someone you know. But something happens that will force them to come out with their feelings for each other—and I loved every second of it.

"I knew you before you were mine, Steele, and I hope I’ll never know a time when you’re not."
You’ll see the whole Steele family, and that made me tear up. These characters have become part of me, like a real family. And there are so many beautiful and meaningful moments (as someone who cares about those little things that make a book memorable, don’t even get me started!) when you catch up with all your favorite couples. Before you ask, yes, there are also the usual pranks—and let me tell you, these were FUN!

"You’re it for me, baby. The sun and the moon and the stars all pale in comparison to you."
I can’t forget to mention how hot these two were together. From waterfalls and a tent to a bed, they’re absolutely perfect. And Melissa knows how to add steam that means something—mixed up with real feelings and between people who care about each other and show with their bodies just how much. It’s always intimate. It always makes me want to be the FMC. I’m not kidding!

"You are my love, my life. You are my heart story, baby. The only one that matters,"
Flynn and Sutton were passion and adventure brought to life, but they were also love—the kind of love who is there for you and pushes you to be the best version of yourself. The kind that shows you what really matters in life and what happily ever after can be like.

3.5 - 4 Stars

Enticing Her Love (Love in Bloom Book #55) by Melissa Foster.
The Love in Bloom series proved to be a heartwarming journey through love, family, and personal growth. Spanning multiple interconnected series/stories, it offers a wonderful blend of romance, humor, and emotional depth that kept me reading the whole way through.
Ms. Foster crafted fully developed, relatable, and multidimensional characters who added an extra element of emotion and interest to my overall reading experience. The heroes are fiercely loyal and endearing, while the heroines are smart, empowered, and refreshingly ‘real’. Each character feels like someone you could know in real life, making their struggles and triumphs, high and lows, all the more impactful.
The stories have a perfect balance of steamy romance mixed with heartfelt moments. But that doesn’t mean that Ms. Foster shies away from exploring deeper themes like forgiveness, self-discovery, and the complexities of relationships – adding dynamic layers to the storyline/s. But, despite the emotional depth, the series still maintains more of a lighthearted charm, sprinkled with humor and tender family connections.
While each novel can be read as a standalone, there is an interconnectedness with the recurring characters and overlapping storylines - which help create a sense of community that feels warm and inviting. It’s like being welcomed into a big, loving family where everyone has a worthwhile story to tell.
‘Within the Love in Bloom big-family romance collection you'll find fiercely loyal heroes and smart, empowered women on their search for true love. They're flawed, funny, and easy to relate to. Characters from each series appear in future Love in Bloom books…’
If you are a fan of contemporary romance or simply looking for a feel-good series to escape into, this series is a worthwhile binge read…
Love in Bloom is made up of the following series:
- Snow Sisters
- The Bradens (Weston, CO)
- The Remingtons

4.5stars--ENTICING HER LOVE is the sixth instalment in Melissa Foster’s THE STEELES AT SILVER ISLAND erotic, romance series, a spin off from and set in the author’s numerous interconnected series. This is reporter Sutton Steele, and thirty-four year old journalist Flynn Braden’s story line. ENTICING HER LOVE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary.

Told from omniscient third person perspectives (Flynn and Sutton) ENTICING HER LOVE follows Sutton Steele and Flynn Braden as there are tasked with journalling a three day survival outing in the Amazon rainforest but Sutton and Flynn’s relationship is questionable at best. Flynn Braden is Sutton Steele’s immediate supervisor, and Sutton is always on the receiving end of negative feedback and unworthy comments. Flynn knows the trip to the Amazon will be dangerous on many levels but none more so dangerous then his reluctant attraction to our story line heroine. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Flynn and Sutton, and the potential fall-out as their time together in the Amazon comes to a close, and they go back to being boss and employee.

The world building focuses on the contemptuous relationship between our story line couple, and the ‘forbidden’ work place romance that could get them both fired. Sutton has no idea as to why Flynn is so combative and negative towards our story line heroine but three days together means coming to terms with what is happening and why.

The relationship between Flynn and Sutton is an enemies to friends to lovers. Seventy-two hours together wherein the couple recount almost every character and couple we have met over the past several instalments. Sutton quickly discovers that Flynn has been hiding his attraction behind his angry façade, an attraction that our couple take to the next level in the Amazon jungle. The $ex scenes are provocative and seductive.

Once again, there is a very large ensemble cast of secondary and supporting characters including family, friends, acquaintances and co-workers.

ENTICING HER LOVE is a story of misunderstanding and miscommunication; family and friendships, relationships, acceptance and love. The premise is endearing, captivating and entertaining; the romance is intense; the characters are belligerent, infuriating, animated and charismatic.

Sutton Steele już w dzieciństwie marzyła o karierze dziennikarskiej. Teraz jest reporterką w programie Discovery Hour emitowanym przez sieć World Exploration Network. Zaliczyła już kilka ekspedycji w różne miejsca na świecie i byłaby swą pracą zachwycona, gdyby nie wiecznie z niej niezadowolony bezpośredni szef Flynn Braden. Dlatego, między innymi, stara się o pracę w ogólnokrajowej sieci GNN z siedzibą w LA. Zwłaszcza że nadchodząca eskapada dla Discovery Hour może przerodzić się w prawdziwą klęskę. Inaczej bowiem niż zwykle nie towarzyszyć im będzie ekipa wspomagająca, ponieważ plan wyprawy zostaje w ostatniej chwili zmieniony. Zamiast reportażu z życia autochtonów, ma to być dwuosobowy, trzydniowy eksperyment survivalowy w ekwadorskiej dżungli, jej jako reporterki i Flynna w roli kamerzysty i przewodnika. Pardon, rainforest to nie dżungla - tak brzmi jedna z pierwszych, sarkastycznych nauczek udzielona przez Flynna, chociaż akurat o tym już wcześniej Sutton doczytała.

Pobyt w lesie deszczowym, zwanym też tropikalnym, zajmuje około jedną trzecią powieści, bardzo żałuję że nie więcej. Flynn okazuje się bowiem doskonałym survivalistą, pochodzącym z rodziny pielęgnującej podobne tradycje, z olbrzymim doświadczeniem w zdobywaniu pożywienia i wody oraz w zapewnieniu dziewczynie bezpieczeństwa. Relacje reporterskie Sutton z kolejnych przytrafiających im się przygód też robią bardzo korzystne wrażenie. A że przy okazji wychodzi na jaw, że jego rzekoma niechęć do partnerki była w dużym stopniu jej wymysłem - no cóż, od początku przecież wiedziałam jakie powieści Melissa Foster pisze. Tym bardziej, że umieszczenie w przygotowanym dla nich ekwipunku tylko jednego małego namiotu nie mogło być kwestią przypadku.

Opis perturbacji w przebiegu ich romansu po powrocie do kraju mniej mi się podobał. Szczególnie kawały, jakimi uwielbiają się raczyć Steelowie z Silver Island trochę mi się przejadły. Owszem, obok mniej lub bardziej przewidywalnych kłopotów na drodze do happily ever after Sutton i Flynna jedno wydarzenie omal nie obróciło wszystkiego wniwecz oraz dość długo pozostawał nierozwiązany suspens: czy Sutton pójdzie śladem Leni i zdecyduje się na związek na odległość. Czy skorzysta z atrakcyjnej oferty GNN z Kalifornii?

W każdym razie oceniam ostatni tom serii nieco wyżej niż poprzedni. Ale w gruncie rzeczy jestem zadowolona, że cykl dobiegł końca, a po inne z mega-serii Melissy Foster Love in Bloom raczej nie sięgnę. Przynajmniej na razie.

𝐄𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 is the 6th book in the Steeles at Silver Island series by Melissa Foster, featuring a funny and spicy dislike to love, forbidden workplace romance for Sutton Steele and Flynn Braden! They’ve had a contentious working relationship for a long time, with Sutton convinced that Flynn was trying to get her fired. When their latest work adventure gets altered to send them into the Amazon Rainforest alone with 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 for 3 days, the fun really begins. All that forced proximity sets the stage for their explosive chemistry to set the world on fire!🔥🔥 After they survived the dangers of the Rainforest, they braved the lion’s den of the Steele Family on Silver Island. Can their budding, secret relationship survive the test of a Steele prank?🤣

I cannot recommend this book enough!! I loved the dislike to love vibes that were really foreplay for some of the hottest spice!🥵 Here they were in the picturesque Amazon Rainforest, which was described so well that I felt like I was seeing it myself, and one minute I’m laughing, then blushing, then my heart is stopping! A certain critter is no bueno for me!🫣😅 The dialogue between Flynn and Sutton was fantastic, especially the witty banter. And once they made it to Silver Island, the family knocked it out of the park, too!! The pranks were next level hilarious!!🤣🤣 The family bonds and just they way they interacted with each other were masterful. Melissa Foster can be counted on to have a plot twist or two, and there was one in this book that made my heart skip a beat or two!! Girl, I was like, WTF?!👀😱 So, so good! I also appreciate that you can fall in love with all these characters, whether you’ve read all the books in the series or world or not!! I know of a few stories that I can’t wait to read!!

I received an ARC for free, and am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is book six in The Steeles at Silver Island series and it is Sutton and Flynn’s story and omg it is definitely a must read and what a amazing ending to a incredible series that I was so sad to see come to a end. Sutton s a reporter and works so hard while trying to keep her job because for some reason her boss seemed to take a instant disliking to her and constantly trying to get her fired but Sutton is stubborn and wouldn’t give him the satisfaction even when some days are absolutely impossible because she still wants him to see her as a valued member of the team and sometimes she thinks that it is just a pipe dream but she will not quit. When Sutton and Flynn have to go together on a assignment in the rain forrest and realise that there is only one tent things start to get very complicated quickly especially as they start to see each other in a different way and then everything changed so when they eventually give in to the strong and hot chemistry that is between them they just absolutely explode and sparks fly all around them and they find that they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other but what happens when they get back into the real world, well you will just have to read this book to find out what happened next and also what the outcome will be for them in the en. This story will have you turning the pages and unable to put this book down with all the banter, heartache, fun, drama, animosity, sizzling chemistry and scenes, great characters, laughter, forced proximity, pranks, emotions, loyalty, hope and love that will have you totally engaged in Sutton and Flynn’s love story while you watch them grow together in a way that you feel it deep down in your heart because they are so perfect together and for each other and you also feel like you are their living through everything with them and their amazing families. I definitely recommend you read this book, series and other books by Melissa Foster who is an amazing author and writer and she certainly knows how to keep her readers attention throughout while you are reading her books and I can’t wait to see what she writes next and I will definitely be there to read them.

There is a fine line between love and hate.   This is a very true statement when it comes to the journey of Sutton Steele and Flynn Braden.  He’s her boss.  But when they’re assigned to work together - ALONE- in the rainforest… it becomes clear he doesn’t hate her.   He hates how much he is attracted to her.   And once they cross that boundary, once they both give in…. Well we Best Let “What Happens in the Rainforest Stay in the Rainforest.”  Right?   WRONG!!!  Oh. So. Wrong.  


Don’t believe me?  Well for starters Flynn says things like this:  


“I’m not pissed because I have to keep you safe.  I wouldn’t trust your life in anyone else’s hands.  I’m pissed because being here with you makes keeping my hands to myself a million times harder.” 


Flynn and Sutton’s love journey was executed beautifully.   The tension, chemistry, push/pull,  twists and turns of this story gave me all the feels.   It’s a love story that consists of banter filled fun, crazy fun families, beautiful waterfalls, steamy waterfall scenes and others, innuendo’s over and over and swoony worthy phrases like: 


“You’re it for me, baby.  The sun and the moon and the stars all pale in comparison to you.” 


Come join Flynn and Sutton as they first navigate the Rainforest and their attraction to each other, then he saves her from a poisonous snake, revealing their relationship and in true Melissa Foster fashion…. One Heart Stopping Plane Ride.   


Trust me you will not be disappointed.  However - Bring. The. Tissues. **You’ll need them from laughing so hard you cry and you cry so hard because it's that damn good!**


Thank you @melissafoster_author for the ALC.

Thoroughly enticed by Flynn

It's time to say goodbye to The Steeles at Silver Island with the final book in the series, ENTICING HER LOVE. I've always loved Melissa Foster's stories, they're captivating, emotional, fun, family orientated, and full of love, and this one was no different. A forbidden workplace, opposites attract romance, Sutton Steele and Flynn Braden's story was passionate, emotional, humourous, and included a wonderful adventure.

Sutton and Flynn are co-workers who, after years of working together, have never gotten along. Even their boss has realized something needs to change and decides to send them on an assignment together. In the Amazon!! An assignment that either be a disaster or an eye-opening experience. While there they learn a lot about each other and realise how wrong their impressions were. It doesn't take long for their perceived hatred to become passionate desire. Will they be able to leave what happened in the Amazon behind them, or will their shared experience and chemistry follow them home?

ENTICING HER LOVE was a fabulous read, capturing both my heart and my emotions. Sutton and Flynn won me over the moment they spoke to each other, the animosity was definitely hiding something deeper. The tension, spark, chemistry, and banter between them were superbly written, and the spice was HAWT!! Melissa's descriptions of the Amazon were so vivid, i often felt like I was there too. Sutton and Flynn's families were hilarious, I loved the pranks the Steele family play on each other, especially when the women got in on the act. Flynn's granddad was an absolute treasure. Aside from all the humour and love, Melissa throws in a huge heart stopping moment which had my jaw hitting the floor ... so not nice!!

Another superb read from Melissa and I can't wait for more. The Flynn's brothers and sister need to have their stories told. Highly recommended.

What happens in the rainforest stays in the rainforest? Right????
Well....
For Sutton and Flynn lets be honest they didn't stand a chance of this happening.
The chemistry between these two is fire and the connection, once their walls came down, was effortlessly beautiful.
They are absolutely the definition of soulmates.
If you have been following this must read series you would be no stranger to Sutton and Flynn. Their enemies but we all knew eventually lovers story has been simmering away in the background.
And...
Holy Smokes!! I was prepared for steamy but did Foster just cause a fire in the rainforest??
Because... Seriously These two....
The tension, the innuendos, the banter, the hate (cough cough basically foreplay) and then finally the spice!!! Hot Damn! I absolutely devoured this.
The problem they face....
Flynn is Sutton's boss.
So... While they have finally given in to their undeniable attraction to one another in the rainforest, and have become emotionally close, they know what they share has an expiration date.
When the rainforest assignment they are on is over.
But....
After they arrive home they quickly learn that neither can let each other go.
Will a secret relationship ruin their careers? Particularly Sutton who has career goals.
I loved everything about these two...
-The way they got to know each other on a deep and different level in the rainforest. At times this was sweet and emotional.
-The quick witted banter from them both.
-The dirty little innuendos.
- The spice they delivered.
-How protective and sweet Flynn was! He was ready to change his entire life for her. Swoon!
-How Flynn seamlessly fit in with the Steele family. Particularly with the absolutely ridiculous laugh out loud pranks the family does.
I can not with this family at times. They are everything!

This was another amazing read from Melissa Foster. With a tiny little snippet of a future love story.
I'm beyond excited and can't wait!
Obsessed with this world and characters.

A Must Read Book & Series!
