Publisher's summary

Discover the magic of New York Times best seller Melissa Foster's writing and see why millions of fans have fallen in love with the fiercely loyal and sassily sexy characters in the Love in Bloom big-family romance families. All Love in Bloom books can be enjoyed as stand-alone novels or as part of the larger series.

For this sweet bookstore owner, avoiding the charms of a famed football player-turned-author was supposed to be easy.... Funny, sinfully sexy, opposite-attracts romance.

Amber Montgomery is perfectly happy with her quiet life, running her bookstore, taking long walks with Reno, her Labrador retriever seizure-response dog, and spending time with her close-knit family. She’s never needed thrills the way some of her sisters have. In an effort to control her epilepsy, she tries to avoid anything that creates too much excitement or stress - including relationships.

When Amber hosts a book signing for famed athlete-turned-author Dash Pennington, he’s everything she’s spent her life avoiding: loud, aggressive, and far too handsome, as proven by the hordes of women who surround him everywhere he goes. Amber can’t ignore the sparks flying between her and Dash, but this is a no-brainer for her: Ignore their chemistry and hold her breath until he leaves town.

Dash Pennington has spent his life running. Running the ball in for a touchdown, running from town to town to appease his public relations reps, and running into the arms of too many women to count. He’s also an expert at protecting - his reputation, his sisters, and lately, his sanity. But he’s ready to make a change. When he comes to the sleepy little town of Oak Falls, Virginia, and witnesses the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen, living the life he craves, she refuses to have anything to do with him. But now that Dash has found the one thing he doesn’t want to run from, he’ll stop at nothing to win her over.

Amber and Dash are my favorite ....

What I love most about Sweet, Sexy Heart is the message hiding within the story. Foster goes out of her way to create a beautiful soul that is uniquely perfect despite the flaws she sees in herself. Amber is the manifestation of what is often forgotten. Beauty is not the outer shell, but the light that shines from within. Beyond the painful way she sees herself resides the reflection of how others see her. It takes a fresh set of eyes, an open heart and an irresistible confirmed bachelor to open her eyes to the treasure that she fails to see. Amber and Dash are my favorite because they bring into focus why being unique is truly a perfect fit.

These characters just make you want more!

Melissa Foster is a writer I will read or listen yo every time I get the chance. Her characters are real, not everything is perfect in their lives, they have struggles and illnesses… and they are interesting and make you want to know more and more about them! Dash and Amber are, absolutely no exception.

From the first glance, Dash is smitten. He fights for what they have. Amber is happier than ever… until there are difficulties. Can they get through them!? You’ll enjoy finding out!

Meg Sylvan and Tim Paige are awesome!

Sweet, fresh, and sexy.

I absolutely love the Montgomery and Braden romances by Melissa Foster. Amber and Dash were quite the surprise. This story was so fresh and unexpected and made my heart flip over with the emotions that jumped off the page. Dash is such a big personality with a big heart. Amber is a bit closed off with a medical condition that keeps her close to family. But Melissa Foster tells their story in a way that you fall in love with this couple, their families and the entire community. I couldn’t put it down and I am left wanting for more. Meg Sylvan and Tim Paige provided voices that made the listening experience of the book come to life. There was a seamless transition between narrators and I didn’t want the book to end. Foster, Sylvan, and Paige are a great team for this audiobook.

Dash and Amber ❤❤❤❤

Sweet,Sexy Heart is the perfect title for this Story. Dash and Amber are hot and dynamic. The sparks start flying from page one. Melissa has done it once again with this amazing book.

sweet romance

I loved this story and find myself wanting to collect acorns. this was an unexpected romance between two and I related with the main character I'm many ways. I love that about Foster books, they are so relatable. Dash seemed cute and kind and loved getting to know him. This book makes you think and sympathize with struggles others may be forced to deal with in life, "Don't judge a book by its cover", read it!

Dash and Amber forever

Audiobook Review: I absolutely love Meg Sylvan and Tim Paige as narrators. They are perfect for Melissa Foster’s Sweet, Sexy Heart book. Dash and Amber are sweet, sexy, and fun and the voices of the narrators portray them perfectly. I could feel their love, hear their respect, and know exactly what emotion they were feeling as I listened to the story.

eBook Review: Dash Pennington is all alpha male, which is exactly what Amber Montgomery is not needing in her life. Amber is happy to run her bookstore, hang out with her friends, and live her quiet life. Enter Dash, who upon first look decides that Amber is all that he wants. As a retired athlete, motivational speaker, and author he goes for what he wants and does not give up until he gets it.

I loved that Melissa Foster wrote Amber as not a perfect character. She has epilepsy and it has held her back some. She knows that stress and tiredness can bring on seizures, so she lives her life carefully and aware of her body’s reactions. Dash Pennington has done his research on epilepsy and knows that he has to be aware of Amber’s needs. I love that he embraces her life, supports her, and wants a relationship with her. He does not just pursue her, he woos her, he wins her over, and he gives her everything that he has to offer.

Dash and Amber are meant to be. They belong together and I look forward to catching glimpses of their future in other books in this series.

Sweet and Sexy!

Melissa has magic in her pen, like acorns in a jar when writing a story.
Dash was a retired football star. He went to Oak Falls, Virginia to visit a buddy to get away from it all. Amber was the owner of a book store and seemed the only woman that wasn't trying to get his attention. He had contracted to have a signing in her book store to sign his book he had written. Dash was so sweet and thoughtful to Amber, expecially when she had seizures caused by her epilepsy.
Meg Sylvan and Tim Page did a fantastic job narrating it. They made me think I was standing by each character watching this beautiful story unfold.

Sweet Romance!

This is the eighth book in the Pleasant Hill - Oak Falls Series. Amber and Dash's story is beautifully written, sweet, and emotional. Dash, a famed retired professional football player, turned author, is handsome, caring, and supportive. Amber, a bookstore owner, is lovely, strong, and independent. They met during a signing hosted by Amber. They are opposites attract, and they are perfect together, and they share an undeniable attraction. The supporting characters are amazing. Meg Sylvan and Tim Page did a great job with the narration. I enjoyed it. #AudiobookObsession

Swoon worthy!!

Amber Montgomery and Dash Pennington are absolutely perfect together. Dash is instantly smitten with Amber when they first meet but she feels Dash is too much man for her since he is so outgoing and she keeps pretty much to herself due to her suffering from epilepsy. Knowing about her condition, he does his research so when he convinces her to go on a date with him, he is prepared should anything happen. Once they begin to date, she realizes he is very romantic and has a big heart. They take you on a journey of unconditional love, fear and a host of other emotions. Dash is so swoony worthy and romantic you can’t wait to see what he’ll do next and you hope Amber’s fears don’t keep her from finally getting her HEA that she so desperately wants.

Another amazing story by Melissa Foster. Meg Sylvan and Tim Paige do a great job narrating Dash and Amber’s story.
