Thrill of Love

Love in Bloom: The Bradens at Peaceful Harbor, Book 6

De: Melissa Foster

Narrado por: B.J. Harrison

The Bradens are a series of sexy standalone romances. These hot contemporary romance novels feature alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They're flawed, funny, passionate, and relatable to listeners who enjoy new adult romance, contemporary romance, and women's fiction.

Fall in love with Ty Braden, a world-renowned mountain climber and nature photographer. He's about to take on his toughest assignment yet - winning the heart of the one that got away.

Do you believe in fate?

World-renowned mountain climber and nature photographer Ty Braden never believed in second dates, much less heart-pounding, steal-his-breath love. But that was before a trip to Saint-Luc, where he met funny, strong, and entrancingly beautiful Aiyla Bell, a ski instructor and fellow photographer whose hopes and dreams, and love of the outdoors, aligned perfectly with his - and whose kisses alone turned him inside out.

After spending five magical days and four sweet, soulful nights falling in love, Aiyla couldn't imagine a day without Ty. But when he asked her to go with him on his next assignment, his reputation for having women at his beck and call stopped her from upending the life she'd worked so hard to create.

Months later, fate steps in when a chance encounter brings Ty and Aiyla together for a five-day wilderness event held in the Colorado Mountains. Their deep, passionate connection is stronger than ever, and Ty is bound and determined not to lose her again. But when tragedy strikes and their worlds are turned upside down, their love faces the truest test of all.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"When it comes to contemporary romances with realistic characters, an emotional love story and smokin' hot sex, author Melissa Foster always delivers!" ( The Romance Reviews)

An incredible love.

First let me say I do love Melissa Foster books along with the narration of BJ Harrison. I think the current one is always the best until I listen to the next. But this book featuring Ty Braden and Aiyla Bell is incredible. In my opinion Melissa's strong suit is her character development and this book is no different. This story is filled with fate, love and life changing events. You will experience the love of the entire Ace Braden Family. During the course of reading this tears were trickling down my face without my knowledge or permission. Anyone would want the kind of love Ty has for Aiyla. BJ Harrison’s narration let the compassion and emotion shine through. Kudos to Melissa Foster. A true 10 star book.

Love Means Never Giving Up

Thrill of Love: Ty Braden (Love in Bloom: Braden at Peaceful Harbor, MD ) by Melissa Foster

I read the book and listened to the audiobook as well. Be prepared for an emotional journey! B.J. Harrison once again doesn't disappoint as he narrates Melissa Foster's beautiful romance that will tug at your heart and fill your soul. He has become one of my favorite narrators as he brings Melissa's story to life.

Ty Braden , world-renown mountain climber and nature photographer, and Aiyla Bell, ski instructor and photographer spend five incredible days together in Saint-Luc and they're the best of their lives. They discover how much they have in common and how perfectly they click.

Ty wants Aiyla to go with him on his next assignment and continue their relationship, but Aiyla, careful with her heart and fearful of Ty's "player rep" refuses to take the chance and upend her life that's she's worked hard for. Instead she makes him promise not to contact her and leave the chance for them to get together to Fate. If they're meant to be, it will happen without either searching for the other.

When Fate does step in they're brought together for a five day event in Colorado. Their passion is sizzling and their love real and Ty realizes he can't lose her again. Their world is thrown upside down when an unexpected tragedy occurs. A tragedy that will make you weep so much you'll find it difficult to read through your tears.

The emotional journey Ty and Aiyla take you on is intense at times (keep those tissues handy) and will make you root for them not to lose faith. But can love and faith prevent them from being torn apart?

This book is a keeper, meaning you'll want to own it so you can read it and listen to it again and again. A wonderful love story, but so much more than that. You watch Ty fall in love after believing it's not meant for him. You'll watch him grow in ways that alter you forever. You'll see the strength of not only their love, but the real fear that all could be lost.

Aiyla is a strong, beautiful and amazing woman who is perfect for Ty in every way. No young couple should ever have to go through what they do and make the kind of decisions that are truly real world. That's what you can expect of Melissa's books - real issues that most of us can identify with. That's what makes her books so heart-wrenching and heart warming.

This book is right up there with Tru Blue and Tempting Tristan. I totally loved it!

Ty and Aiyla

Ty Braden is a thrill seeker, photographer (I’m talking National Geographic here), and quite the lady’s man, if his reputation is accurate. He never thought of settling down with one woman until he met Aiyla Bell. She is an adventurer, and she’s also a photographer (of older faces around the world). They spent five amazing days together in Saint Luc, but agreed to let fate decide if they would meet again. Fate plays a big part in this story. Ty and Aiyla do meet again, and as any good romance novel dictates, they fall in love. But that’s not all there is to this story. In fact, that’s pretty much the beginning. All it takes is one life changing event…

Melissa Foster has written another wonderful, hot, heart-wrenching, love filled story that will make you believe in fate and the forever kind of love that seems so rare these days. When you read this story, be prepared to feel all the feels, cry the tears, laugh and love right along with the Bradens. This story runs so much deeper than most. Grab it and enjoy the ride!

B.J. Harrison narrates the audio version of this story so well. His voice and inflections so clearly bring this story to life. My imagination was pretty good when reading the book, but hearing someone else read it put a whole new spin on the story for me. Such a good one!

Amazing Bradens

When listening to a book rather than reading it I find that I can let the words I am hearing soak into me. I hear tones, feelings, and emotions that I missed while reading the book. I catch phrases, sentences, and thoughts that I may have skimmed over while reading. While listening to Thrill of Love I decided that I need a Braden playground and that Aiyla is a very lucky girl to have one to herself. Ty is also lucky to have let fate take control and trust that he would find the love of his life after leaving her behind. BJ Harrison is phenomenal. He is a narrator that knows how to use his voice to pull the listener in and keep them invested in the story.


Grab your Kleenex. I am not sure that I have ever cried in sadness during one of Melissa Foster’s Love in Bloom series books. Yet with Ty and Aiyla’s story, I full out had tears rolling down my cheeks. Do not get me wrong, this is a wonderful book with amazing characters.

Thrill of Love is a story of second chances and believing in fate. Ty Braden, sigh… love those Braden men… meets the woman of his dreams but his reputation gets in the way of their relationship. Promises of not to chase Aiyla down leave it up to fate to bring them back together. Of course, in true Melissa Foster style fate steps in and brings them back together. It is obvious from the beginning that something is off with Aiyla and she is fighting to push through her pain. I love that Ty doesn’t let her just put her pain aside and makes her see his doctor friend, Speed, to find out what is happening. Then when they find out what they are dealing with there is never a doubt that together they can conquer all things. Love wins out, as it should.

The Braden creed of Family knows no boundaries is proven over and over with these strong, proud, alpha Braden men. Ty Braden is a testament that being a Braden is a way of life, one that must be lived up to, respected, and loved.
