Publisher's Summary

Elisabeth Nash has spent years dreaming of returning to the small town of Trusty, Colorado, where she spent summers with her favorite aunt. When she inherits her aunt's farmette, she closes her Los Angeles pet bakery and pampering business, sure that life in Trusty will be as peaceful and as welcoming as she remembers. But being an outsider in the close-knit town proves to be very different from the happy summers she remembers from her childhood - and falling for Trusty's hot, wealthy, and sinfully irresistible veterinarian, Ross Braden, sends the rumor mill into a frenzy.

Ross Braden learned long ago that gossip spreads faster than weeds in his small hometown, and Ross loves nothing more than his privacy. For that reason, he doesn't date women who live in Trusty. But that was before blond, beautiful, and refreshingly honest Elisabeth Nash flew into his vet clinic seeking help for her panicked piglet and turned his comfortable life - and his heart - inside out.

Despite rumors about Elisabeth's motives toward her aunt's property, passion brews between Elisabeth and Ross. Every steamy kiss and every sensual touch brings the pair closer together, and when Ross helps Elisabeth try to fit into the town he adores, it makes their bond even stronger. But even Elisabeth's efforts toward reaching the community, and the love she and Ross so desperately believe in, might not be enough for the protective small town to offer them a future.

Beautiful, rich and full

Audiobook: B.J. Harrison

I’ve become highly addicted to this narrator. His voice is just so smooth and rich. I get caught up in it every time. One thing I love to do is slow the speed when the characters are engaged in a deep emotional scene. This adds so much more depth to what’s happening.


This story was such a great listen! It was low angst with plenty of friend and family connections along with an amazing romance that was slowly building between Elisabeth and Ross. Both of these characters were developed to the point that I felt like I knew them. I loved that animals were both their way of life and the addition of their furry friends added to my enjoyment.

This world has definitely become a favorite and after this book, I’m especially excited to find out what happens next.

New Town, New Love

I received this audiobook free for an honest review. Again, Melissa Foster served up a hit in this next book in her series. Moving to a new town can be frightening, and Elisabeth is not an exception. Ross never dates anyone in his small town. However, the chemistry with the new girl in town is outstanding. The author delivers another story that never disappoints. The story sucks you in from the beginning and doesn't let you loose until the end. Even then, you finish and still want more. That is probably why each of her books are unique and the listener/reader gets addicted. The narrator does a good job with the characters and their personality in this story and brings it to life.

Ross and Elizabeth

Positive thinking makes things happen. Sometimes we visualize what and or where we are supposed to be in life before it happens. Fate is amazing. A sweet smexy story about Ross and Elizabeth.

The narrator has a smooth voice that makes this story come alive.

Sweet Romance!

This is the fourth book in The Bradens at Trusty Series. This Series is sets in the amazing world of the Love in Bloom Series. Elisabeth and Ross's story is sweet and heartwarming. I liked their instant attraction and slow burn story. BJ Harrison did a great job with the narration. Looking forward to listen to the next book in the Series, Dreaming of Love.

EXCELLENT READ!

I absolutely loved it! The narration was excellent and will keep you entertained! The author did an excellent job with the character builds and plot. You can not go wrong with this series! I look forward to reading the next book in this series! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Foster and Harrison are a welcoming match ...

Foster and Harrison are a welcoming match to the romantic in my soul.  She writes from the heart and he speaks to it. Flirting with Love is like a warm hug.  You never realize how much in need of it you are, until someone shows you what you've been missing. Elizabeth and Ross take their time tumbling into the complicated, but it's the subtle build up that makes this couple all the more intriguing.  Harrison exposes his heart within the stories he narrates and that talent makes for a deeper connection between the reader and characters. 

Country cowboy Ross Braden meets his match

I love these romance stories by Melissa Foster. I had originally downloaded this one a couple years ago and recently rediscovered it when I had a chance to listen to the audiobook. All of Melissa's stories are stand alone, so reading them out of order (like I did!) doesn't matter. The reader does get to know different friends and family members and how they are interconnected if you choose to read the series though. This story of Ross and Elisabeth was just perfect. A spunky, headstrong heroine, and a thoughtful, caring, educated (and HOT!) cowboy hero. From the beginning when they are introduced by her little piglet to following their new love as it develops and the passion they have for each other, I just loved this story and the characters. The audiobook did a good job of conveying the emotion and the pace of the book too. Elisabeth has a heart of gold and won't give up, and Ross loves her for it.

Small town romance at its best!

I absolutely love the town of Trusty and these books set there. This is definitely my new favorite book by this author.

Ross Braden is a veterinarian who cares about his patients and his town. He is not looking for a love interest especially one in Trusty where the town gossip and rumor mill will take even the slightest tidbit and turn it into a meal!!

Elisabeth Nash has always dreamed of making her home in Trusty ever since spending summers with her aunt there. When she inherits her aunts small farmette, she uproots her LA life and decides to see if she can make a go of it.

Melissa Foster sure can write a small town romance with all the heart, sweetness and small town feel that I expect plus delivering with plenty of sexy heat!
The narration is awesome. I love listening to this series on audiobook!!
-4.5 Stars!-

So freaking GOOD

I love the series as a whole, cute warm and just fun-loving stories. However, this book's characters brought something new and so sensual that really made it extra special. I need a Dae in my life, wow!

Just pawfect!

I love this story and adore Ross Braden & Elisabeth Nash and all the pups too of course. I don't blame Elisabeth for wanting to live in Trusty, I want to move there too! There are some emotional moments due to Ross's job that made me sad but otherwise this was just such a sweet and uplifting love story. The fact that it has a swoonworthy Braden man in it, makes it even more wonderful! I love the banter between all the Bradens and can't seem to get enough of them. And as always, BJ Harrison as narrator, rocks it again!

Meant to be (Ross and Elisabeth's story)

Elisabeth has moved to Trusty after the death of her Aunt, who has left her a small farm. When the health of one of her pigs causes her to crash into the local vets and cause a 'little' chaos she meets Ross the local vet. From that moment he can't forget her. There love of animals bring them closer, and there starts the heated romance between them. There are moments of laughter especially when the have a girls night in and even include Rebecca via skype. A great story that also has clues to Jake's story, which looks intriguing. Love the narration by BJ Harrison
