Publisher's Summary

Can a man who resents the hand he’s been dealt and a woman who spends her days grateful for every little thing find true love in each other’s arms - or are their differences stronger than both of them?

Find out in this funny, sexy, heartfelt romance, and fall in love with Grant and Jules on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, and midnight rendezvous. 

Even war heroes need a little help sometimes....

After spending years fighting for his country and too damn long learning to navigate life with a prosthetic leg, Grant Silver returns to Silver Island to figure out a future he couldn’t fathom without fatigues and a gun in his hand. He’d almost forgotten how a man could suffocate from the warmth and caring community in which he’d grown up, and if that weren’t bad enough, his buddies’ beautiful and far-too-chipper younger sister won’t stop flitting into his life, trying to sprinkle happy dust everywhere she goes. 

As a cancer survivor, Jules Steele knows better than to count on seeing tomorrow. She doesn't take a single moment for granted, and she isn’t about to let a man who used to be charming and full of life waste the future he’s been blessed with. She's determined to get through to him, even if it takes a few steamy kisses....

WOW

This book is absolutely amazing. I enjoyed revisiting the Steele family. These characters are perfect for each other and one really plays off the other in an entertaining way.

The best opposites attract!

Good lord if there was ever a more opposites attract story it is this one. Jules Steele is effervescent. At first, she was nearly too much for me but then you get to see why she’s so spirited. She’s a cancer survivor and lives for the moment and loves it, loves every moment. She’s in love with Grant and has been. Now Grant, Grant is a different situation entirely. Grant is surely. He’s a broken man. No one is able to get through to him. Slowly Jules starts to impart on him. He slowly starts to fall for her and it’s so beautiful. It makes you fall in love with both of them. It’s lovely.

The narration by Jennifer Mack and Aiden Snow is just perfection. I loved them. The story itself is something else but once you focus on the narration, well it’s just as magical as the story itself. Mack is a perfect Jules. Jules is upbeat and contagiously happy. It’s hard to pull that off without becoming annoying eventually. Mack was able to pull that off and then some. Snow is the perfect gruff and surely guy. He’s able to portray that personality flawlessly. Over the story, we start to see Grant change and we feel that in the narration as well.

Beautiful Story!

This is the second book in The Steele at Silver Island Series. Jules And Grant’s story is beautifully written, emotional, heartbreaking, and heartwarming afterward. Jules is such a beautiful character, sweetheart, caring, and supportive. Grant is a survivor, broken, and grumpy. They are opposites attract, but they are so perfect together. Their journey is filled with drama and romance. The supporting characters are amazing. I love the family bonds in this story. Jennifer Mack and Aiden Snow did a fantastic job with the narration. #AudiobookObsession

My True Love is is definitely an opposite's attract book! Jules always tries to see the bright side of every situation while Grant is angry at the world and just wants to be left alone. Like all the books I've read by Melissa Foster, this one has interconnecting characters and a strong emphasis on family. I loved how Melissa Foster had Jules react to Grant's injuries, both visible and not.

I received this audiobook for free from Pink Flamingo Productions and Audiobook Obsession. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Amazing story

This story has Jules and Grant not only looking at their own life but looking at what they could be together. Grant is back from his job with darthbird and he lost a lot on the last mission. Little miss light and rainbows is determined to makes sure what he lost there is all he lost. So she makes it her mission to get Grant back into life even if it is not with her. No matter how much Grant doesn't want to accept all that Jules is doing for him he can't help but crave the little pixie. Will they get their HEA or is there just to much at stake? These narrators really give you another depth to this amazing story. I would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Gave Me All The Feels

My True Love by Melissa Foster is a contemporary romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Jennifer Mack and Aiden Snow. This is the second book in The Steeles at Silver Island series.

I absolutely love Melissa’s books. They always pull me in and leave a smile on my face. I loved the relationship between Grant and Jules. I really enjoyed getting both of their points of view throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Caught by Love to be released on February 9, 2022 so I can get Archer and Indi's story.

Jennifer and Aiden did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life and I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would highly recommend this book if you love romance books. It will give you all the feels!!!

Keep tissues handy.

Keep tissues handy. Grant and Jules take heartache to new heights with their inspiring story. Foster paints an emotional portrait that is not always pretty, but makes quite the impression on a heart. My True Love is a tale of life lessons, hard knocks and uncertain hope that will give the mind something to think about while taking aim at the heart.

Pull at your heartstrings perfection!

OH My God! Melissa Foster had me from the very start of this one! Ive been waiting For Grants audiobook ever since I read Jock's book. just pulled at my heartstrings perfection, sexy, fun and just had it all!!!! Swoon!

A Steamy & Romantic Love Story

This was a steamy and romantic story with so much heart! Melissa Foster’s storytelling is simply amazing with the witty dialogue, tender moments and sexy times between Grant and Jules. I totally adored Jules and how much she supported Grant and got him to live his life again. Narrators Jennifer Mack and Aiden Snow were absolutely fantastic with their performances and really brought the characters and story to life. I loved listening to this audiobook and will definitely be one I re-listen to again.

We all need a little pixie dust

This book is the second installment in the Silver Island series by Melissa Foster. You meet Jules Steele, who survived cancer when she was a toddler, which makes her have a "let's live live to the fullest" kind of girl. She delivers her own kind of pixie dust wherever she goes. And then there is Grant, who she has known all her life. He has returned home after serving in the military, with a heavy heart after losing his leg. Jules cannot stand seeing him go through such a hard time and not try to help. Grant is not so open to being helped. The fact that he has known her all her life, that she is such a pure and beautiful soul makes him want to stay away at all costs. Well, fairies are irresistible!
The characters are really well developed. You can totally sympathize with what Grant is going through and Jules is sweeter than sweet (but not an annoying character, as it could have happened in the hands of a less skilled writer). It's a joy to see these two find a way to each other and to happiness. There are really sweet moments, really funny ones (be prepared to have "Baby Shark" stuck in your head LOL) and OH SO HOT moments too.
Although this is part of a series, it is a standalone novel. However, I can't emphasize enough that you would be missing a lot if you are not reading the Love in Bloom series. Go grab the other books. You will thank me later.

The book is awesome and the narration is spot on!

Wonderful and sweet

I'm so in love with Jules and Grant, they're an amazing couple and I'm so happy they got their HEA.

Jules was amazing, I loved her determination and the way she didn't gave up on Grant despite everything.
I really liked the paced of how their relationship developed, it was so worth it.

But I think my favourite character was Crash, he deserves a mention here, he's just a great cat 😸 and make things interesting.

As for the narration it was perfect. Aiden Snow portrays Grant really great, his voice is so good. Jennifer Mack is fantastic, I loved the way she depicts every emotion, she has an amazing tone and paced that worked well for Jules.

Jules and Grant!

After serving his country Grant has returned home a changed man both physically and emotionally. He is trying to adjust to what the future holds and all he wants is to be left alone but Jules is the one person who refuses to be put off by his surly attitude.

As a child Jules faced the fight of her life head on and rather than it impacting her life in a negative way it has only made her that much more determined to enjoy every experience and appreciate everyone who comes into her life. When she sees Grant struggling, she isn’t about to let him go it alone and she is determined to show him that they are so much stronger together than apart.

This is a heartwarming story about two people who have reacted to the challenges in their life very differently. Jules is exactly what Grant needs in his life as she shows him that life is for the living and that every day that they have together is a gift. The narrators were a great choice as they brought out the sunny and uplifting personality of Jules and the emotions that Grant was feeling as he tries to adjust to his new reality. 🎧Audiobook Obsession

True Love

My True Love is the second book in the Steele’s at Silver Island series and Melissa Foster has penned another moving triumph.

Grant was a soldier who is dealing with being seriously wounded at war and living with the changes that those experiences have made in his life. He is in a dark place after all that he has experienced.
Jules is his polar opposite, happy and bright despite the cruel obstacles that life has thrown at her. She doesn’t see a disability when she she looks at grant. She sees the man.
This emotional romance would make a great summer listen. It hit me right in the feelings and was a pleasure to listen to. The pacing is great and the story is the perfect mix of sweet and emotional.
The narration by the hugely talented Jennifer Mack and Aiden Snow really brought the story to life with their great characterisation and their outstanding voice acting.

Jules has me smiling!

Escape to Silver Island to get to know Grant and Jules! This one touched my heart. Melissa Foster navigates the world of adjustments to civilian life, dealing with change and finding love, and it could not have been a better listen! Grant is cranky. There is no other word to describe the man when we first meet him, but when Jules comes into the picture, he doesn't stand a chance to keep that demeanor. Jules has sunshine beaming out of her, and there is no way her positivity isn't infectious. She was putting a smile on my face just listening to her ideas and happiness, proving that life is what you make of it. It's just a matter of attitude. Foster once again melds relevant issues into her story as we become invested in the couple, and I love it! It brings awareness as well as enjoyment. I love this couple, and think it is one of my favorite of all the books I have listened to of hers. They just shine.

Jennifer Mack and Aiden Snow are perfectly cast for these two characters. Mack has an element of warmth in her voice that leads us to that happy feeling Jules is putting out. Her voice makes smiling contagious and I spent a lot of time just happy listening! Snow is the broody military man, and he portrays every emotion Grant goes through. He is complex and Snow gives it all to us. I enjoyed this story and can't wait til the next visit to Silver Island!

A beautiful story with amazing characters

This book is a gift for people who love hopeful romances. Beautiful, sweet Jules and gruff but wonderful Grant coming together is truly a story to adore. Grant, a military man, lost his leg in his last mission. He's full of regret and anger. His sister's best friend, Jules, wants to help everyone and especially Grant, who she has loved for a while. Can she get him to love his new normal?

I have to say, Grant is great but Jules just touches my heart. She is the kind of person I would love to know in real life- cheerful, sweet and with a heart of gold. If only we had more people like that in real life. I rooted for her completely and cheered for her as Grant fell for her (and who wouldn't?!)

As someone who owns so much of this author's work, this one is right up there as one of my favorites. It was emotional but pure and sweet. I loved seeing characters that we met in prior books and I cannot wait for other characters (like Brant) to get their HEA. An excellent friend-to-lovers romance that I plan on revisiting again and again.

After reading the ebook, i listened to the audiobook and it was amazing, as one would expect from Aiden Snow and Jennifer Mack. Aiden Snow's low rasp is perfect for Grant but he does so well playing multiple characters. Jennifer Mack, though, is a true fine- she has this energetic, sweet voice that was absolutely perfect for Jules. I loved this audiobook!
