Publisher's summary

One wrong move, and she meets a guy with all the right ones….

Talia Dalton lives her life on cruise control. Despite her successful career as a professor, she prefers protecting her broken heart to taking chances. She’s calm, cool, collected, and steady. Until the morning she takes her eyes off that familiar road and almost runs over the sexiest man she’s ever seen. It may not be the best way to start the day, but it might be the type of shake-up she needs.

Male dancer Derek Grant has goals, and nothing is going to get in the way of achieving them. As a graduate student and the sole caretaker of his ailing father, he hasn’t much time for relationships. Then Talia crashes into his life. Sweet, pretty - and so buttoned-up that he can’t wait to help her cut loose.

For Derek, falling in love was a beautiful accident waiting to happen. And it might be exactly what Talia needs - if she’s willing to let go of the past and embrace every surprise Derek has to offer.

Great Read

Love Like Ours (Sugar Lake #3) was a great read by Melissa Foster. Talia Dalton has a successful career as a professor, but lives a life without taking chances. One morning she takes her eyes off the road and almost runs over the sexiest man she's ever seen. Derek Grant is a male dancer who has goals that he wont let anything get in the way of. He is a graduate student that takes care of his ailing father. I loved reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.

Great fun!

4.25 Stars for me!

Very entertaining and enjoyable story, even with the light drama towards the end of the story! Both characters are likeable and the family from the previous stories all played a role in the outcome.

Lots of heat mixed with a light read makes for an enjoyable reader experience!

Excellent Story

To bring in the real life struggle of a family’s devotion to a family member with Alzheimer’s made this such a reality-filled heart-longing/warming situation.

Great Narration

I liked that once Tahlia was in she was all in. I had no problem with her not telling her family about Derek. I loved how Tahlia and her family were so supportive of Derek, Jonah, and Maria. I was also happy that Derek, although it was something he had to come to terms with, ultimately allowed the Daltons to be part of his support systrr.

This book had very little angst. Just what I needed during these times. I listed to and enjoyed the audio book. I thought the narration was good.

This book was sweet, sexy, and romantic. It was also about love, loyalty, honesty, owning who you are as a person, family, and friendship. I liked both books 2 and 3 better than book 1.

such a fabulous book

I can't even begin to imagine how a person couldn't love this book. It stole my heart. Derrick and Talia are simply perfect together. So just buy this book if you want to read a great romance. I did receive this book for free in exchange for an honest review but I would have happily paid for it.
Great job Mrs. Foster.

Talia and Derek

This is the third book in the Dalton siblings. Talia has always been the serious one. In this book we learn why she is the way she is and what meeting Derek means to her. Derek has so much on his plate now adding a woman to the just wasn't in the cards for him. When he almost gets hit by Talia's car he feels like he needs to know more about her. Will they get that HEA or will their hangups hold them back? I would highly recommend this to anyone and everyone

Good book!

This third installment of the Sugar Lake series was a good addition. Talia and Derek's story was a bit different than other teacher/student stories in that Derek was not her student so it was not made into a cliche story line. The story line for the couple was different in that Derek was a care giver for a family member and that is relatable to many readers since his being a care giver is a major part of this book. I felt that both characters were well written in that Talia is rather an introvert and does not step outside of her comfort zone but she does come out more and Derek is more outgoing especially since he is an exotic dancer as well as a bar tender as a means to make money to fulfill his life dreams and goals. I continue to enjoy that in all of Ms. Foster's books, family plays a large roll and has a large importance for its characters. The plot moved along rather quickly and their relationship had an insta-love type feel in that their story moved quickly but it worked for the pair. The narration performed by Mr. Lane was was done well making the story enjoyable to listen to. I would recommend this book to others and I look forward to seeing where this series goes next.

Love Like Ours

Funny, sexy, full of amazing characters that could be the people next door; Love Like Ours way a joy to read. Derek and Talia were so darn cute and fun together. This book has some interesting situations that I'm not sure how I would react to in real life but make me think long and hard how I would possibly feel if put into some things... Loved this book!!

Likeable characters, great narration but not what I prefer in romance

Th narrator is really good. I found the characters warm and likeable. And the male hero very attractive in all ways (as is the guy on the book cover, who doesn't look like the shirtless alpha male that is cloned on so many covers these days)
There was an initial theme of 'don't jump to conclusions about people'.
My problem was that I abandoned it early on as I like my romance as escapist reading. This started to read more and more like an infomercial
about Alzheimers: symptoms, their carers etc. This just isn't my preferred focus in a romance.
Pity as the male hero and his depth and heart (and the narrator) would have been well worth the journey. However I know many people like romances about challenges and adversity and love triumphing etc So it may find its audience in them,

Love like ours

A wonderful love story of two unlikely people. After almost running over Derek in a car park, Talia is mesmerised by his eyes and when he turns up at her work she really wants to get to know him better.
