Fated for Love

Love in Bloom: The Bradens

De: Melissa Foster

Narrado por: B.J. Harrison

Librarian Callie Barnes has visions of reading and relaxing - and maybe having a few too many drinks on her girls' weekend away. Her hopes are crushed when her friends pull into a dude ranch instead of a spa, and she refuses to say longer than one night. That is...until she realizes the ranch is owned by sinfully sexy, and dangerously rugged, Wes Braden - the subject of her late-night fantasies.

Fearless rancher Wes Braden thinks he's the luckiest guy on the planet when the sweet, sexy librarian from his hometown shows up at his ranch. Their connection is white-hot, making it impossible for either to ignore their carnal desires. Wes is more than willing to convert sweet Callie from chick lit to a world of erotic romance, but Callie ties sex to love, and Wes avoids commitment like the plague.

Callie is thrust into physically demanding activities that ignite her deepest fears. Luckily, Wes is as tender as he is strong, and he's there every step of the way to help her find her inner strength. With Callie's influence, Wes might even discover that he's been nursing a few fears of his own. Passion pulls Callie and Wes from their safe, comfortable lives into each other's arms, and they're about to find out just how alike they really are.

A case of opposites attract

If you could sum up Fated for Love in three words, what would they be?

Lust, Fear, Attraction

What other book might you compare Fated for Love to and why?

I would compare this to Jack and Savannah's book. In both instances, the personalities were a case of opposites attract.

What does B.J. Harrison bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I think that B.J.'s voice helps convey the emotion in the stories in a way beyond what I see when I read them (without audio).

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Attraction meets fear - overcoming and coming together

Any additional comments?

I've said it before but I love the opportunity to listen to books that I have read in print previously. It give me an opportunity to remember and gather new perspective.

A wonderful mashup of friendship and love!

I think this is my favorite Love in Bloom book so far! Melissa Foster wrote characters whose innocence matched experience and friendship equaled the best kind of love imaginable. Callie and Wes were perfect together. He was so protective of her and yet tried so hard to try things she was afraid of. I loved the ranch setting and that a lot of the story took place outdoors. Wes' relationship with his dog, Sweets, was just the right touch to make him and this book 5 Stars as far as I'm concerned.
The narration by B.J. Harrison was superb as always. He's so easy to listen to.
I was given a complimentary copy of this audio book.

HOLY HOT COWBOY ALERT

Would you consider the audio edition of Fated for Love to be better than the print version?

Love reading, but absolutely enjoy listening to books while working! Get the best of both worlds!!

What did you like best about this story?

Melissa Foster is an absolute brilliant writer. She writes the most amazing love stories that are down to earth...True enough you can actually picture or visualize the scene! Love the awkward librarian who isn't so sure who becomes friends with hot very loud out spoken cowboy. Brings her out of her shell and he isn't afraid to call her on it! Cute little love story~~

Wes & Callie

Callie is in a rut. She goes to work as a librarian, goes home, dinner, bed and repeats every day. Her friends take her away for a quick vacation, not telling her where she is going and takes her completely out of her comfort zone! At a dude ranch, she is bound to face many things she is not used to. Including the handsome Wes Braden. She sees him once a week in the library, giving him books to read. Wildly attracted to him, it's nothing like seeing him in his element. What she doesn't know is he goes to the library to see her! Will Wes be able to win her over, facing her fears and living life with her heart? What a fun listen! There is fantastic friendships and a slow burn love that had my heart. And the dog!!! The dog steals the show! Melissa Foster has me wanting to stop in Trusty to meet these people and hang out. Loving this branch of the Braden family!

BJ Harrison continues his fantastic narration of the series. I have come to know him as the Bradens and look forward to his easy pace and wonderful voices.

Another wonderful Braden book!

Any additional comments?

This is another great story by Melissa Foster. Wes and Callie's story was a fun one to follow and the narrator did a wonderful job of bringing the characters to life. I would listen to the book in the car and would find myself sitting in parking lots after arriving to finish a chapter. I would definitely recommend this book and narrator to others.
