Thrill of Love
German edition of Thrill of Love (Love in Bloom: The Bradens at Peaceful Harbor).
Entdecken Sie den Zauber der Bücher von New-York-Times-Bestsellerautorin Melissa Foster und finden Sie heraus, warum sich bereits Millionen von Leserinnen in die Bradens verliebt haben. Die Romane über die Bradens können jeweils für sich oder als Teil der Reihe »Love in Bloom—Herzen im Aufbruch« gelesen werden.
Verlieben Sie sich mit Ty Braden und Aiyla Bell in dieser besonderen Liebesgeschichte. Das Schicksal führt sie zusammen—wird eine Tragödie sie trennen?
Glauben Sie an das Schicksal?
Der weltbekannte Bergsteiger und Naturfotograf Ty Braden hat nie an feste Beziehungen geglaubt, und schon gar nicht an eine Liebe, die ihm das Herz bis zum Hals schlagen lässt und ihm den Atem raubt. Doch das war vor seiner Reise nach Saint-Luc, wo er die lebhafte, starke und hinreißend schöne Aiyla Bell kennenlernte, Skilehrerin und ebenfalls Fotografin. Ihre Hoffnungen und Träume passen einfach perfekt zu seinen, sie liebt die Natur ebenso sehr wie er—und allein ihre Küsse reichen aus, um alles auf den Kopf zu stellen.
Nach fünf magischen Tagen und vier süßen, gefühlvollen Nächten kann Aiyla sich schon nicht mehr vorstellen, ohne Ty zu sein. Dennoch: Als er sie bittet, ihn bei seinem nächsten Auftrag zu begleiten, lehnt sie ab. Immerhin steht er in dem Ruf, ein unverbesserlicher Frauenheld zu sein, und dafür will sie nicht alles riskieren, was sie sich mühevoll aufgebaut hat.
Ein paar Monate später tritt das Schicksal auf den Plan. Bei einem fünftägigen Sportevent in den Bergen von Colorado begegnen sie sich wieder. Ihre tiefe, leidenschaftliche Verbindung ist intensiver denn je, und Ty ist wild entschlossen, Aiyla nicht noch einmal gehen zu lassen. Als sich jedoch eine Tragödie anbahnt, muss ihre Liebe die schwerste Prüfung überhaupt bestehen.

Thrill of Love by Melissa Foster was such a good read.
I loved the storyline, it was emotional, sweet and romantic. It was well written, the plot was engaging and the pacing was spot on.
Ty and Aiyla were both strong, passionate, likable, relatable characters and I loved them.
I loved their banter, I loved their honesty and I loved how they opened themselves to each other and didn't let their fears push each other away.
It's refreshing to see a couple work together when real life throws a curveball their way.
They loved each other unconditionally and I had no doubt they were each others soul mate.
"I always thought I was living the life I wanted, but from the moment I met you, I knew I was wrong." - Ty Braden
So many thoughts are running through my head, I want to share all the romantic scenes and the parts that made me cry and the parts that made my heart swoon...
BUT I don't want to take away any of the reading enjoyment by giving away spoilers.
Trust me, Thrill of Love will bring out the feels and you'll be so happy to have read it.
Bravo Melissa Foster, you've once again given us fans a heartfelt and entertaining read that will stay with us for a very long time.

This branch of Bradens seems to have stories that seem simple at first, but somehow end up being very deep.
Ty and Aiyla met months ago in Switzerland and fell in love for each other in the span of five days. Ty's reputation as a womanizer made Aiyla reluctant to follow him as he wanted on his next adventure and said that if they were meant to be they would find each other again. And once they did Ty would do anything to keep her with him forever. I am happy to say that Ty didn't sleep with anyone on the time they were separated and he was so focused on winning Aiyla and loving her that I wouldn't have believed that he was indeed a womanizer if he didn't say so himself. Aiyla doesn't make it easy on Ty, but in the end their story is great.
We got to see the whole Braden family again and even I felt loved. They are an amazing family. Pretty much everyone appears in this book, bit it feels natural and not crowded. I hope Speed and Trixie will get a book. Each or together, I don't care as long as they get a book. I loved them both.

My heart was absolutely pounding while reading Thrill of Love. A stunning and shocking tale of fated love and having those that you need when you need them most in your life.
I cried happy and sorrowful tears while engrossed in the book. I had a hard time even putting the book down (damn adulting getting in the way of my finding out what happens next). This book is full of heart pounding adventure, both in and out of the bedroom, and the love that Ty and Aiyla share is awe inspiring.
Ty and Aiyla meet in Switzerland and shared an amazing 5 days together, inseparable from the start. But Aiyla had heard about Ty's reputation and even though her heart told her that Ty could be the one, her head just wasn't in the game. So she told Ty if it was fate, their paths would cross again.
Ty knew as soon as he saw Aiyla in Colorado at the Children's Charity Mad Prix Race, that fate was truly on his side. He was determined not to let her slip by him once again. No matter how headstrong she was.
During the race, Aiyla injures herself and Ty decides to stick by her side. Aiyla plays off the injury as just overuse, but Ty sees more than her just being tired and a small pull. Through his insistence, he has Aiyla checked out and what comes next is something neither of them ever expected.
Now that fate has brought the two of them back together again, could fate play a part in tearing them apart?
This book was such an emotional read. Love is tested and admiration and love are found in places neither of them ever expected.
Definitely a top read of the year for me. I get so excited with each new Melissa Foster release and this one has been my favorite by far!

Love is an uphill battle and this couple had to deal with more than most. Thrill of Love is a triumphant journey of pain that is at times heartwrenching but always inspiring. Ty and Aiyla will change the way you look at life, love and hope. Kleenex is a must.

Fate as defined by the Oxford dictionary is the development of events outside of a person’s control. Do you believe in fate or do you believe we create our own destiny?
Personally, I believe some events in our lives are pre-destined, and some are created by the choices we make. However, there are persons who believe every event in their lives are pre-destined and those who believe we create our own destiny. Ty Braden was one such person.
What the story is about.
Ty Braden and Aiyla Bell met and fell in love in Saint-Luc after spending five days and four nights together. Ty wanting to continue his newfound feelings invited Aiyla to accompany on his next assignment. However, daunted by his reputation of being a player she refused his request, stating that if they were meant to be together, then fate will re-unite them. They agreed not to exchange contact information, not to track each other down and leave their future in the hands of fate.
Months later as fate would have it, they were re-united and old feelings re-ignited. However, when Aiyla received devastating life changing news, their love faced the greatest test.
The Story
Thrill of Love tells the story of a couple whose love was tested beyond measure. Not only was it sweet and sensual it was heartfelt and sincere. It is a beautifully written story, which reminded me of the strength of true love and the importance of family. Although it predictable, it still had the power to tug on my heartstrings.
Characters
Aiyla is a ski instructor and photographer. She is competitive and dislikes depending on others. She is strong, self-reliant, and resourceful. I admired her courage in the face of adversity.
Ty is adventurous, determined, caring, honest and patient. He was a player, but after spending time with Aiyla no other woman held his interest.
As a couple, they were quite inspiring. On their own, they were strong, but together they made a formidable team. I loved them as individuals and as a couple. I loved how they brought out the best in each other. Being with Ty made Aiyla recognise that relying on those you love was not a sign of weakness and she helped him to see the beauty of falling love.
The Romance
I never imagined I could be jealous of a book couple but Ty and Aiyla’s relationship was one to envy. I must admit I had a hard time with them falling in love so quickly, but watching their post reunion interaction convinced me that what they shared was genuine.
Supporting Characters
It was great catching up with characters from the previous books. The theme of family and friendships for which Ms. Foster is known for was the centre of the story. I loved how Ty’s family and friends rallied around him and Aiyla during the difficult times. The scenes depicted during these moments were heart-warming
Conclusion/Recommendation
Thrill of Love delivered a heart-warming and tear jerking read. Although is the sixth book in the Bradens at Peaceful Harbor series it can be read as a stand-alone. However, if you are like me you will want to grab the other books in the series.

Thrill of Love was Melissa Foster’s sixth book in the Bradens at Peaceful Harbor series and the thirty seventh book in the Love in Bloom series.
Ty Braden was a world-renowned mountain climber, photographer and gorgeous, sexy, play boy. But as with all the Bradens, when he fell, he fell only once and he fell hard. Aiyla Bell was Ty’s perfect match. She was beautiful but more than that, she was smart, adventurous, strong, stubborn and independent.
The first half of the book focused on their relationship and commitment. They embraced their feelings and it was a pretty fast whirlwind. The last half focused on the unexpected challenges and their reactions to it. It was emotional and intense but also sweet. My favorite line in the book was “Because we belong together. When the powers at be were doling out answers, I stood in the Aiyla-only line.” Incredibly sweet.
I loved all of the Bradens interactions and the bonding they shared. It was humorous and fun at times but also serious and supportive, providing stability and a grounding when needed.
True to Foster, Thrill of Love was well written and well developed with depth and dimension. Foster also provided teasers for the new Braden at Pleasant Hill series. The first book will feature Ty’s cousin, Beau, in Anything for Love.

Thrill of Love by Melissa Foster
Do you believe in Fate? When the universe wills something to happen, fate is said to be involved. When Ty and Aiyla find each other again after five months, they both knew that destiny was at work.
Ty Braden, a freelance photographer travels the world, taking photo after photo, being carefree. When he meets Aiyla, all his bachelor ways changed in the five days that they spent together in Saint-Luc. Fast forward 5 months and they are together again at a charity race together, competing for a good cause. Not only are they both athletic, photographers, and love to travel, they both have a soft spot for sleeping under the stars, surrounded by nature.
Ty knew that meeting her again was fate. He wasn’t going to let her get away again, so he confessed his feelings almost immediately after they reunited. For five days, they rekindled their feelings while competing for charity.
However, during the first days of the competition, a pain in Aiyla’s leg consumed her. Ty wasn’t going to have it. He took care of her, made sure she rested it as much as possible, and when she couldn’t make it to the finish line, he carried her.
By the time the five days were over, the two knew it was meant to be and they never wanted to be apart again. But the pain in her leg was an overshadow to their future and next steps. Ty insisted on a visit to the doctor where they learned she has cancer.
Thankfully, they find their love is even stronger than they thought.
This is one of my favorite books by Melissa Foster. Not only does it have a foreshadow of tragedy, it is full of romance and fun characters. Making this even better is the love of family, friends and memories of loved ones lost.

First of all, can I just say – Ty Braden, OMG! What a perfect, romantic, loving, funny, sexy character. I mean, really, Melissa? Is there anything wrong with any of the Bradens??? Anyway, Ty is incredible and Aiyla is beautiful, intelligent, creative, talented, driven, etc. Just imagine the kind of children these two could create! They reunite in Colorado after a whirlwind romance (non-sexual) months earlier, where they didn’t exchange any numbers or info, just allowing fate to take the lead. But not long after their reunion, they have new, enormous challenges to face that truly test their bond as a couple.
I must admit that this one had me crying several times, which is not the norm for me when reading Melissa Foster’s novels, but it was all worth it in the end. Thrill of Love is not a picture-perfect, typical “meet – fall in love – live happily ever after romance” but it is an incredibly moving and emotional love story that I could not put down. As previously stated, the Bradens are always fabulous, but this novel was unique and gave new meaning to the kind of romance novels that Melissa graciously gives to her readers. I have nothing but the highest praise for this novel and even if you’ve never been tempted to purchase one of her novels (really? I hope not!), Thrill of Love is a love story that you should not miss. It has romance, action, real-life situations, sadness – but most of all – it portrays characters that are driven and committed to a happy life full of love.

Thrill of Love is not a picture-perfect, typical “meet – fall in love – live happily ever after romance” but it is an incredibly moving and emotional love story that I could not put down. As previously stated, the Bradens are always fabulous, but this novel was unique and gave new meaning to the kind of romance novels that Melissa graciously gives to her readers. I have nothing but the highest praise for this novel and even if you’ve never been tempted to purchase one of her novels (really? I hope not!), Thrill of Love is a love story that you should not miss. It has romance, action, real-life situations, sadness – but most of all – it portrays characters that are driven and committed to a happy life full of love.

Stunningly beautiful and life changing
Ty Braden is stunned when fate steps in and reunites him with "the one that got away", Aiyla Bell. The only reason they were apart is because Aiyla had heard all about Ty's notorious womanizing. They, however, have a heart to heart where they each admit they want to be together as they have fallen for each other.
Ty and Aiyla are both competing in The Mad Prix to raise money for charity. This means that they spend the next 5 days never apart. Aiyla agrees to go to Peaceful Harbour with Ty for his sister, Shannon, birthday. It's while they are here that Aiyla gets some life changing news.
This book made me cry tears of sorrow and joy as it touches on a subject so very close to my heart. I would urge romance readers everywhere to read this as its so beautifully written. Highly recommended.

WOW!...Just, WOW! This book will blow you away.
Melissa Foster has gone where no romance author has gone before with a character...but although it momentarily shocks you, you do sympathise with the character and understand their thinking.
This is the story of Ty Braden, the last of the Peaceful Harbor Braden's to find his HEA. He's a mountain climber and nature photographer, so is always travelling. He enjoys women, but doesn't do 2nd dates.
On a trip to Saint-Luc he meets ski instructor and fellow photographer, Aiyla Bell. After a brief fling, he asks Aiyla to go on his next assignment with him, but his reputation causes her to refuse the offer.
Months later, they meet again at a wilderness event in the Colorado mountains. Ty is entranced with Aiyla once again, and he understands what his siblings had been telling him about finding "the one."
I don't want to give away any spoilers, but it becomes clear fairly quickly that something is not right with Aiyla. But even though I easily guessed what the problem was, the actual intensity between them, and the way they both deal with it is heart wrenching, but so beautifully written.
Anyone who has read a Braden novel knows how strong, possessive and alpha these guys are, but Ty really steps up to the mark. And let's not forget Aiyla - she is such a strong character, and the depth of courage that she shows in adversity blew my mind.
The way Ty's family rallies around will have you sobbing. But then, the Braden creed is: Family knows no boundaries. It was great to see all the family getting together, and catching up with engagements, weddings and baby news.
And now the author: every time I think Melissa has surprised me with her writing, she then goes above and beyond with the next book. I don't know of another author who can produce a novel per month that has a completely new storyline, and takes you to places you didn't realise it was going to reach. Kudos to you, Melissa. You just keep astounding me.
I thoroughly recommend you read this book, and please ensure you have tissues to hand because you're going to need them!

Melissa Foster has yet to disappoint me when I open a new book of hers. Thrill of Love is no exception. What I love most about this book is the idea of fate playing a part in one's love life. It was fate that brought Ty and Ailya together once. It was fate that threw them together a second time. From there, it was nothing but love that kept them together and brought them through life's ups and downs.
I am not a huge believer in fate in my own life. I know that God has a plan for my life and there are times I am sure that it has to be that plan that makes things happen because I would never do them on my own. That being said, I read to escape life sometimes. I also read for knowledge and learning but occasionally escape is what I am looking for so I want fate to play a part in the characters' lives. This book was perfect for me for the time I was reading it.
Add to all of the above the five day adventure race Ailya and Ty find themselves in as they meet a second time and I couldn't put the book down. Camping in the wild is something I love. Hiking and canoeing are in my wheelbox also. To find so many of my own likes in this book made it easier to read.
Definitely pick up a copy of Thrill of Love. I guarantee you a good read. I received this book through Beck Valley Books Book Tours, I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

Thrill Of Love is a contemporary romance with strong emotional themes.
This is the story of Ty Braden and Aiyla Bell, photographers and adventurers. The couple met in Switzerland but went their separate ways until they met again at a five-day wilderness event held in Colorado.
Although there is much spark and passion between them, Aiyla has a niggling leg injury which Ty insists she gets checked out. The storyline turns serious with the diagnosis of a bone cancer, and the long-term medical decisions that Aiyla must make. See here for full review https://wp.me/p2Eu3u-cwZ

~~I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads ~~
I love Ms Foster's books - anyone who follows my reviews will know this already - and I think maybe what I love most of all is that every single book is genuinely different, even if the themes of family and love always win out. I also know that I will need to have a tissue box to hand, and that it is wisest to read them in private.
This is definitely a tearjerker, with a clever build up giving some clues, although I didn't want to think it. Both Ty and Aiyla are wonderfully positive characters, and it is easy to fall under the spell of their love for each other, and enjoy the chemistry which they enjoy. Having been on a few camping trips, I had to chuckle at them being in the wilds when they first explored each other, and gave the rest of the competitors nearby a hint as to their attraction!
We get the story from both viewpoints, but never is there too much introspection, or description. Instead we see two people accepting how in tune they are with each other, and how they are more that the sum of their two parts. The Braden clan are, in no small way, a significant element in the beauty of this book. It was very special to get some more insight into Maisy and Ace's long lasting love, and the ways that they overcame adversities faced during their marriage. It was also lovely to enjoy Tempe getting married to Nash, and becoming Phillip's Mama.
All in all this is a beautiful book, and a great addition to the series. I am not sure I could read it too often, as it will always make me cry - but it is a beautiful book, which shows the strength of the human spirit and that love can indeed conquer all, if you let it. Buy it, read it, love it.
Thank you Ms Foster, amazing x

Thrill of Love is a wonderful and emotional addition to The Bradens series.
The settings are described amazingly, especially with their photography eyes. The mountains sound beautiful. The adventures that Ty and Aiyla describe make me jealous.
The characters are easy to fall in love with. Their connection and how much they have in common is perfect. Makes me wish I had a connection like that with someone.
Aiyla Bell is very independent, strong, stubborn, and determined woman. I admire her strength. Even with everything that has happened in Aiyla's past, she still believes in fate. Putting her chance of love in fate's hands is very brave of her. No matter how difficult or painful things get for Aiyla, she still pushes through. It helps that Ty is there with her to help.
Ty Braden was not a person who believed in fate until he found Aiyla again by chance. He's adventurous, patient, determined, loyal, and caring. Despite his past with women, Ty is very honest with Aiyla about his past and what has all changed. He's very protective and supportive of Aiyla. The pain Aiyla feels during the competition makes him very concerned. Can I get a Ty Braden for myself?
My favorite parts of this story, like many others in The Bradens series, is seeing the Braden siblings interacting. They're also so loyal, fun-loving, and family-oriented. Ty has become one of my favorite Bradens.

This book is one hell of a thrill! I never wanted to put the book down and I hated that Aiyla and Ty's story had to end. Fate was definitely on their hands and it was one beautiful love story. Ty and Aiyla were such an amazing couple and I was so happy they decided to let fate when and stay together.
They are what a relationship should be based on, love, trust, strength, and adventure. These two will give you a run for your money when it comes to traveling and adventures, there is nothing they probably haven't done. Aiyla and Ty meet back up after months of not seeing each other since their first encounter, and it's a story you don't want to miss. Especially when hit with a big scare. That scare doesn't get in the way of their love and they make everything work out.
This book will teach you that no matter what love conquers even the steepest mountains. Just lean on each other no matter what is thrown your way. Check out more here - http://www.nerdybooklife.com/2017/10/...

This book. There literally aren't words to explain how much I love this book!
Aiyla and Ty had an amazing relationship for a short time, then they walked away from each other and decided to let fate take its course. While they had pledged not to search for each other they still looked for each other everywhere they went.
Fast forward to a wilderness competition, where they rediscover each other and get clarification on the things that drove them apart. Their love is as quick and as strong as before, but this time it has the possibility of being forever.
When the worst happens to them will they be able to get past it and have a future together?
I'll warn you, have an entire box of Kleenex handy for this book! You'll need it, as they make you laugh and sigh, but most of all cry!

This story had me on the verge of laughter most of the time. Aiyla and Ty couldn't have been more the same if they were twins. They both had the same adventurous spirit and loved being outdoors. Aiyla had sent Ty away when they first met --even though she knew they belonged together--telling him that if they were meant to be--then fate would bring them back together. Besides she was deathly afraid of his reputation as a playboy! Well fate stepped in and they met again at a charity marathon. By the end of this strenuous meet Ty had to force Aiyla to slow it down a bit and let him help her--her leg had been hurting her and it was getting worse. His friend, also an orthopedic surgeon, told them that she really should get it checked out. Since she had agreed to go with Ty to his sister's wedding at his family's home and since he was for once more stubborn then she--
Everyone fell in love with Aiyla--and ultimately Ty proposes-she accepts and all are happy. Then the unthinkable happens when they go to that appointment which shatters Aiyla. What could be so bad that a strong woman would surrender to her fears and actually lean on someone else for strength and comfort? Will they overcome and live happily ever after or not? Read this book--and find out if love can conquer all.

The Bradens of Peaceful Harbor is my favorite Melissa Foster series. Don't get me wrong... I love them all, but this series is special since each book has a meaning and message. Nate's book is around survivor's guilt, PSTD; Cole's book is about in great part in Lessa's role as a teacher and a false accusation; Sam's book is about women's empowerment; Shannon's is about environment concern; Tempest's book is about healing, parenting...
I will not spoil Thrill of Love and Ty and Aiyla's journey which I will only say will be full of challenges for them. Aiyla is not a simple character and her story is so full of emotion, she is strong but at the same time she needs Ty more than never...
Ty is Ty... He does not hide who he was and is up to the challenge for Aiyla's love.
He was a womanizer who falls in love deeply for this girl and is ready to face the ultimate test for their love to survive.
I highlighted all the book, but there is a small quote which I think is significant here "Are you saying I am wrong? Because I'm pretty sure it's the Brandonian way".
Melissa Foster is the master mind behind the Brandonian way and let me tell you that you will not regret getting into this journey of love.
I know Aiyla and Ty's is not a simple love story to deal, but you will not regret it!

4.5 Star review of Thrill Of Love (The Bradens at Peaceful Harbor, MD #6)by Melissa Foster
Do you believe in fate? That what is meant to be, will be? Ty Braden and Aiyla Bell, met and became attracted to each other in Saint-Luc. However, although Ty asked Aiyla to go with him on his next adventure, she refused and asked him not to try and find or contact her. Aiyla believes in fate, but Ty does not.
Fast forward several months and Ty and Aiyla are both competing in a 5 day wilderness event which absolutely thrills them both, you see both have regretted the parting so many months before and have had many “what is” moments since.
Ty has a reputation with the ladies a this is the reason that Aiyla, refused to follow her heart in Saint-Luc, however now that they have met again, both decide to put their cards on the table and see where their attraction goes. Ty is certain that in her he has found “the one”
Ty is definitely a hot, possessive, determined alpha who knows who he wants and is out to succeed. I really loved Aiyla, such a strong and feisty woman. In fact I really liked the characters of Ty and Aiyla, separately and together.
Melissa Foster captured my attention with this well written story that will tug at your heart. Be prepared though to shed tears as the path to Ty and Aiyla’s happily ever after is a roller coaster of emotions, fear, love,courage and determination to overcome

Do you believe in fate? .... YES, i really really do! And Melissa Foster did an excellent job of providing me with a beautiful story that strengthened my belief!
This story was just wonderful! SO frikkin emotional, but not the dark emotional. No, this was swoon-worthy emotion. My heart was truly full thru this entire journey.
I’m gonna be upfront with you and tell you ... Kleenex people. Lots and lots of Kleenex !! Ty and Aiyla do not have a smooth journey. Quite the opposite. However, it’s a beautiful thing to read because Melissa is a wicked story-teller. I was engaged from page one. I was invested from page one. I can’t really tell you too many details on their ups and downs because the big one is not exactly a surprise but it will still take your breath away.
This story is definitely in my top reads for Melissa Foster!

Aiyla Bell and Ty Braden met each other at an event in Saint-Luc and there was instant chemistry. After five amazing days together, Aiyla refuses to leave with Ty, believing that if they were meant to be, fate would reunite them. A few months later, they each find themselves at another event at the same time. Both have regretted that they parted and decide that fate has brought them together twice, why fight it. Little do they know just how much fate has in store for them.
This was such an emotional read for me. As usual, Aiyla and Ty were the perfect couple. I enjoyed the suspense of the races and the camaraderie of the competitors. But past that, once things started to get intense and unknown, I was like Aiyla, with my emotions running extreme. This was a beautiful story and I think Melissa gave it full justice.

"What are you doing here?"
"It's fate. Fate has brought us together for another five days."
"You don't believe in fate, remember? You believe people are in charge of their own destiny...to see where things end up."
"I think that's change, Aiyla."
This was a beautiful story about two people that are getting their second chance at love.
But it's also about accepting love in it's purest and strongest of forms.
Ty and Aiyla have been fated to be together, but that doesn't mean it's an easy journey.
These two can climb mountains, run races, and canoe with the best of them. And when life hands them the biggest feat of all, they lean on each other to get through it.
"I'm falling so hard for you all over again, I can barely see straight."
"Me too. It's like nothing has changed and everything has changed at once."
"For the better."
I immediately fell in love with both of them!
Their chemistry was as unmeasurable as their love for each other.
I enjoyed their banter and the way they couldn't get enough of the other.
Melissa Foster has a great way with love stories.
Not only is it the love between two people, but also the love of family.
That Braden family just pulled me in once again with their love and support for their children and signifcant others!!
Gah! I got emotional at one point because you can literally feel love through the pages and it hits you right in the heart!
"You've always been mine, and I've always been yours."
The heartstrings that pulled.
The laughs that occured.
The smiles from sweet moments.
The tears from heartbreaking moments.
The feel of love throughout every single page I turned.
This book had it all!!
I'm so excited for more Braden's because I can't get enough!
There's also two certain friends that I wouldn't mind seeing get their own story;)
Another great read from Melissa Foster!
"I had no idea what love meant before you. But now I know it means that someone else is always there. You're in my every thought, in everything I hope for. Our stars have collided, babe, and the universe awaits our exploration."
"Then let's not keep it waiting."

This book shows you what true love really means. Aiyla and Ty are soo good together. They love adventure about as much as they love each other. Aiyla has been dealing with pain in her left leg but just chalks it up to over use. While competing in an outdoors competition she runs into Ty whom she had not seen in months. They rekindle right where they left off.
They decide to team up and Ty begins to notice Aiyla having pain in her leg and taking pills to help ease the pain. He tries to get her to ease up on it but Aiyla is not one to give up. Ty finally convinces her to let his buddy and fellow race participant Dr. John Butterscotch take a look at it. They convince her to let Dr. Butterscotch examine her in his office after the race is over and they get back to Peaceful Harbor. When John gets the chance to really examine Aiyla's leg he discovers it is not over use but cancer.
Ty vows to stay with her and help her get through her medical ordeal. His whole family rallys around him and Aiyla and helps them both get through it. Ty shows that love can conquer all. BJ Harrison is the narrator and did a great job of going from different male voices to different female voices and then kids voices. He made this book very enjoyable to listen to.

Thrill of Love by Melissa Foster is in the Love in Bloom Series. It is the 6th book in the Bradens of Peaceful Harbor, MD series. Thrill of Love can be read as a stand alone, but for better reading enjoyment, it is recommended to read the books in publication order.
Thrill of Love was everything I knew it would be and so, so much more. It touched off so many emotions in me that I found myself swooning, laughing, crying and going through each emotion over again. As a couple, Ty Braden and Aiyla Bell were perfect, their love was so deep that it transcended the physical love they shared. Facing what could be described as the hardest mountain trail to trek; Ty and Aiyla fed off each other's inner strength, their courage and their endless love to traverse over the boulders and rocks in the way. Ty and Aiyla are one of my favorite couples and I thank Melissa Foster for bringing their story to fruition.
Ty Braden is a well known mountaineer and professional photographer for magazines such as National Geographic. Aiyla Bell is a photographer of beautiful coffee table books that capture the essence of the people she meets as she travels the world. Both are world wanderers who first meet in Saint Luc, Switzerland where they spend five days together. They learn about each other, their likes and dislikes and their families, they establish a bond with one another, but don't make it a physical relationship. Aiyla holds back because Ty has the reputation of being a player and she doesn't want to be one of the many women that have been in his life. So, when they have to part, Ty asks her to come along, "to see where things end up," although tempted to say yes, Aiyla declines. Instead, she tells him that if they are meant to be together, fate will bring them to one another somehow. Although Ty doesn't believe in fate, but in making one's own destiny, he reluctantly agrees with Aiyla's decision.
Four months later, Aiyla is at a charity athletic event in Colorado. She senses someone behind her, a familiar voice says, "Do you believe in fate?" Turning around, she sees Ty. He then says, "It's fate. Fate has brought us together for another five days." Aiyla in turn says, "You don't believe in fate, remember? You believe that people are in charge of their own destiny."
Once reunited, Ty and Aiyla pick up where they left off. This time something has changed. Ty has changed. He now believes in fate and that he is fated to be with Aiyla. Over the next few days during the charity event, they grow closer. Aiyla knows she is in love with Ty, but can't make the step to physically love him. She needs to know that she isn't going to be another woman in a string of many. When she asks Ty about his past, his answer thrills her immensely! He tells her how he has changed and wants only her. Ty also tells her that he believes in fate, that it brought them back to one another.
In between events, Ty and Aiyla remain in their own loving and peaceful "Bradonian" world, as Ty calls it. Becoming closer each day and knowing they don't want to be apart. However, by the time the five day event ends, that peaceful feeling for Ty and Aiyla begins to change, there is a fear that they could be torn apart...that nothing will be the same. Will that be their fate?❤
I highly recommend Thrill of Love. If you enjoy a really good love story that pulls at your heart strings, then this book is for you!
I give it 5 Stars and a box tissues ❤❤❤

The Thrill of Love by Melissa Foster is the 6th book in her The Bradens of Peaceful Harbor, MD. Melissa Foster always gives us sweet sexy romances, and The Thrill of Love is no different; however there is a twist that takes over the storyline a bit past the half way point that is totally different.
Ty Braden, a known womanizer and famous mountain climber met his match, in our heroine, Aiyla Bell, a fellow climber and photographer. They spent 4 days together, when they were both in Saint-Luc and Ty still thinks constantly about the girl who got away. Months later, in another tournament, to his pleasant surprise, Aiyla is also in the same event in the Colorado Mountains. This time Ty is determined to not let Aiyla out of his site. Of course, Aiyla has also not forgotten the gorgeous sexy Ty, but she felt he was not the type to settle down into anything serious. In a very short time, she will learn that she is wrong and Ty is determined to win her over. The first half of the book was a fun filled sexy romp between Ty and Aiyla, as well as spending time with his friends, and especially the wonderful Braden family. Aiyla finds herself totally fitting in with the Bradens and it was a fun time with them all.
Aiyla is bent on winning her events, even if her leg is hurting from overuse. After a bit, I began to suspect that this will become something more, and at this point the story changes to become more serious, with some heart wrenching moments. Rather than tell too much more, what follows is an amazing story that brings everyone in Ty’s family, Aiyla’s sister and their friends to help support them. I absolutely loved the Braden family; how they all rallied behind Ty and Aiyla, and totally fell in love with Ty. He was a fun sexy hero to start, but as time went on, he was awesome and supportive to Aiyla in her need. Aiyla was also a fantastic heroine, and an amazingly strong independent woman, who was strong enough to fight her fears and make mind boggling decisions.
Melissa Foster once again gives us a sensational couple, whom we rooted hard for; but added an element to this romance that gave us some dark moments. The Thrill of Love was a wonderful story, great couple and terrific secondary characters. I suggest you find time to read this book, which reads very well as a standalone.

At this point I’ve read dozens of books in the Love in Bloom Series. All of the available Braden books in their three family branches as well as the Snow Sisters, Remingtons and Seaside Stories. Some of them I’ve absolutely loved and some of them I’ve had mixed feelings about. But Thrill of Love, the final book in the Bradens of Peaceful Harbor seris is the first one that I have trouble giving a rating to. Melissa Foster uses absolutely no subtlety in this book as she ham handedly takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster with the love story of Ty Braden and Aiyla Bell. This is a book of excesses. If you’re of even average intelligence like myself it won’t take you long to figure out the story arc. The only real surprise for me was the choice Aiyla makes and the ease with which she makes it. That and I thought surely a big part of the story would be her trying harder to push Ty away during her ordeal while he fights for their relationship. Although I have no personal experience to draw from, I have to give Ms. Foster kudos for the seemingly realistic way she portrayed someone going through what Aiyla must endure. She didn’t skimp one word in portraying how it would physically and emotionally impact a young woman. It’s both heart wrenching and touching. Some might say inspiring. I don’t know that I’d have made the same decision but I have to admire Aiyla's courage. If you’re a crier, have a couple of boxes of Kleenex handy because you’ll be crying tears of joy and tears of sorrow in equal amounts. The moments of romantic dialogue, the proclamations of love, are almost too frequent and too sappy. The explicit hot sex scenes are more frequent than I can recall in any other book in this series. The difficult circumstances our two lovers must overcome is almost too heavy and depressing for the genre. I know its fiction but my heart literally ached for her, for them.
Being the last book in the Pleasant Harbor series that branch of the Braden family is out in force showing the love and loyalty to one another that makes them special. Each of the Braden siblings and their significant other and their off-spring as well as mom and dad all have their moments to shine. We also meet a couple of new Braden cousins whose branch of the family will form a new series as well as Trixie whom I've got to believe will appear again as a heroine in her own story. Perhaps her own family will be the basis for another series?
If you don’t like the ultimate in sappy romances with equal amounts of joy and heartbreak I’d suggest you stay away from this one. If you do, you may consider Thrill of Love the Holy Grail of modern romance novels.

THRILL OF LOVE is book six in The Bradens at Peaceful Harbor and is a swoon worthy, contemporary standalone. Melissa Foster is the QUEEN of sweet but sexy and this book did not disappoint! I want to say this was almost like an insta-love tale because Ty and Aiyla seemed to fall seamlessly in love from the very beginning. This darling couple had everything in common..the same interests, the same hobbies, the same lust for wandering and they were both incredibly honest and strong characters. Their chemistry is off the charts and the sex scenes are hot enough to make you blush! But aside from that, Ty and Aiyla's relationship is charming and candy coated goodness. There's not a great amount of nail biting suspense but there are a few curveballs thrown in that keep the story fresh and interesting. Most of all, I loved the closeness of the huge Braden family and how Ms. Foster weaved the significance and importance of family in the lives of her characters. This is of course a reoccurring theme throughout the ENTIRE series but one I NEVER tire of! Told from dual POVs with a happy ever after. I received, read and voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

It is no secret that I am a HUGE Melissa Foster fan. I have read every book since the beginning of The Braden series (back with the Snow Sisters) and have read one or two of her non-romance books. I am that big of a fan. You will NEVER see me pass up a chance to read a book by this author.
Hands down, Thrill of Love is the best Melissa Foster book yet. (I have to say yet because they always get better but I have no idea how she is going to top this one!)
Melissa is the master of romance and hotness and I fall in love with the men in every one of the books which makes me love her books. Thrill of love had the romance and the hotness and of course, I fell in love with Ty (who can resist any of Melissa’s hunks!?) but the love – the emotion – the story – was absolutely amazing.
Very, very few books can bring out such strong emotions that you find yourself sitting with the characters, crying along side them, experiencing every emotion that they are going through but Thrill of Love did exactly that. (I cried. No like. I cried.)
I am so glad Melissa followed her heart and wrote something so unlike her norm and took the risk to write Aiyla’s story.
Thrill of Love is not a book to be missed.

Melissa Foster writes emotional, sexy contemporary novels with all the feels. In my opinion, Thrill of Love stands apart from the rest of the Braden series because the couple’s love is tested throughout the novel.
Ty Braden and Aiyla Bell met each other in Switzerland and spent a week together. They share a passion for competitive sports, photography, the outdoors and family. The couple decides not to exchange phone numbers or emails; leaving their relationship to fate. Aiyla and Ty reunite in Colorado at a five -day wilderness event for charity. One of my favorite scenes occurs when Ty notices that Aiyla hasn’t crossed the finish line on the second day of the competition. Thinking that she is injured, dehydrated or lost, Ty races back to find Aiyla. This scene showed the depth of Ty’s feelings for Aiyla and gave the reader a glimpse for Aiyla’s inner strength and determination.
Ty and Aiyla’s romance is sweet and sensuous and their love for each other is solid. Ty invites Aiyla to his sister’s wedding in Maryland. Aiyla is welcomed into the Braden family with open arms. Aiyla schedules an appointment to have her leg examined before the wedding. The couple faces an unexpected medical crisis. The author does a wonderful job balancing the couple’s fears, journey to acceptance and treatment options. Ms. Foster’s descriptive voice shines during these chapters and the dialogue between the characters is honest, loving and poignant. The warmth, caring and understanding of the Braden family play an important part in this piece of the novel.
Melissa Foster has written a fabulous story for Ty Braden. Thrill of Love is a not a typical romance novel, it’s so much more. I enjoyed reading how love challenged Ty and made him a better man. Love came first, not an adventure, game or photo assignment. He believes in fate, destiny and, most of all, love.
Ty to Aiyla:
‘I do know. I had no idea what love meant before you. But now I know it means that someone else is always there. You are in my every thought, in everything I do, everything I hope for. Our stars have collided babe and the universe awaits our exploration”
Thrill of Love is a fabulous read. Aiyla and Ty’s story will captivate you and their journey will make you cry tears of sympathy, happiness and joy.
