Love Love Love!!!

Melissa Foster you are absolutely amazing!! I don't know how you do it but each book gets better and better!! I have loved each story in this series so far but this one is by far my favorite!! Brindle and Trace are my favorite couple so far. I highly recommend this audiobook. #teamtrindle!!! I loved the narration by Savannah Peachwood and Brian Pallino

4.5 Rebel Stars!

I loved this sweet, heartwarming and steamy romance. I have been so excited for Brindle and Trace's story and it was all I hoped for and more! Brindle and Trace have been close friends and on-again off-again lovers since they were young teens. They are both wild, and rebellious, and would fight as passionately as they loved, and they always had each others back. They knew each other better than anyone, but unfortunately they couldn't be honest about their feelings for each other. When Brindle comes home from Paris with a baby bump, Trace is hurt and furious that she would fall for someone else, and they weren't here taking care of her. But he would, whether the baby was his or not. When Trace steps up to the plate, there is no stopping him. He has played by her rules long enough, now he was in charge. I loved how they were friends and lovers for so long but knew it was time to break old childish patterns and learn how to have a mature, forever, loving relationship. They worked hard to be better, no matter how they might stumble along the way. Brindle and Trace were so much fun, and I really loved the swoony gestures that Trace made! Of course their family interactions were priceless as well, especially a few scenes with Brindle's parents that had me laughing out loud.
Narrators Savannah Peachwood, and Brian Pallino are so perfect as Brindle and Trace. Their expressive voices and ability to easily move between fun and flirty to impassioned and poignant is incredible. I love listening to them both and they definitely make this story even better.

great read

I have read all of Melissa's books. I now listen to her audiobooks. I love audiobooks because it lets me listen while I drive. Audio is gread at this time. With now working from home, i get to listen while doing work.
Trace is a sexy cowboy who has had Brindle is a head strung girl. You can not push her into anything. The two have been on and off "friends with benefits". Although, Trace didn't see it that way. Brindle left for Paris, Trace doesn't know why. Upon her return she is with child. At first no one know who the father is. You will love this book. It is a stand-alone with a HEA.

Sweet story

Brindle and Trace have been on again and off again since they were teenagers. They both are stubborn and like to break the rules. In this book they have to fight for each other and learn how to better communicate so they can have a chance for long term love. I really enjoyed this book. This was the first book of the Bradens and Montgomery’s that I have read. I will be looking up some of the other siblings to read their stories.

Dynamic

I absolutely love this story of Brindle Montgomery and Trace Jericho. They have a dynamic relationship that has been on again off again for years, since teenagers. They truly love another and care for each other deeply, but don’t know to communicate with one another. It’s not till Brindle returns from Paris pregnant with Trace’s baby, they really work on their relationship and their love is finally admitted to each other and Trace becomes the man she always knew was.

Another Great Love Story from Melissa Foster

I received this audiobook free for an honest review. Brindle can't keep her mouth shut. Or maybe she just can't tell the truth. If she had, the fight with Trace wouldn't have happened. But then again, neither would their story have been so good. Their, solid to the core, love is tested. No misunderstanding, just deception. Pride gets in the way. To this end, the listener/reader can't put this story down. From beginning to end, this love affair puzzle pieces fall in to place. Enjoyed this story as I have all the others by Melissa Foster. You know you get a great story if she writes it. The narrators were awesome as well. They brought this story to life.

#teamtrindletrio

Brindle and Trace have been an on again off again couple since their early teenage years now in their mid twenties they are hit with a bit of unexpected news. Well, I guess I should back up a bit and let you know that Brindle decided to go to Paris for six weeks at the end of Trails of Love to clear her head and see where her heart was. She returns with more than just the answer that had always been in her heart.

It's no surprise that I am a huge Melissa Foster fan when you read a book like this, which takes a difficult subject and somehow gives you the HEA you were hoping for. Unplanned pregnancy is not unheard of, even with all the precautions a couple can take. I have to say that I was disappointed with Trace's behavior when he saw Brindle for the first time after returning from Paris with a baby bump, if I was there he would have gotten a backhand up the side of his head. Anyway, he did finally get his head screwed on correctly. Fatherhood has a way of making the immature grow-up.

I enjoyed the whole town rallying around Trace and Brindle with their Instagram shutouts of #teamtrindle, #teamtrindletrio, #teamtrindlecolt, and #teamtrindlefilly it was great to see how everyone pulled for this couple to make it.

I was gifted an ARC of this book but I purchased the Audiobook version and listened to it instead of reading This story pulled me in right away and I didn't want it to end, the narrators did a wonderful job bringing this story to life. I can't say it enough, if you have yet to read one of her books grab one now you'll be sorry you waited this long to be immersed into her world. Each book can be read as a standalone so it doesn't matter where you begin, just begin!

Happy Reading!!!

Wild & Crazy couple

I was wondering how this story would go with us already knowing that Trace and Brindle were together before she jetted off to Paris. But this story was great! We already knew that Trace and Brindle had a very fire-y relationship. They both are wild are heart and don't like being told what to do, plus they were hiding their true feelings from one another. Both Brindle and Trace thought they were protecting their hearts by not completely giving them to each other, when they were actually driving a wedge between them. This one came through with lot's of hot and crazy times. This story's steam level was definitely on the high side. Regardless of the state Brindle was in and the uncertainty of their relationship, these two could not keep their hands off each other. But I loved that their feelings for each other remained so "like new" since they had been together for so many years. It was good to see them solidify their relationship. The narration was good as well. It brought the story to life and provided the effective feel of the scenes happening throughout.

Made me laugh and made me cry.

If you have been waiting for Brindle and Trace’s story you will NOT be disappointed. The storyline was not what I expected for the two of them so I thoroughly enjoyed the twists, turns, and revelations regarding their on again, off again relationship. It really was a true romance. Who would of guessed that the tough cowboy would have such a beautiful heart. Melissa Foster’s characters are always exceptional and she has outdone herself with this emotional book both in print and audio. The narration by Savannah Peachwood and Brian Pallino provided a variety of characters voices that truly brought this audiobook to life.

My favorite of the series!

I listened to the audio version of this book. I would say that this is probably my favorite of the Braden/Montgomery books because it started out with a real conflict--and nobody was super rich! I liked this as much as I liked the Whiskey series.
Brindle pretty much ran away from Trace and a bump (one of many) in their relationship. She returns to France with quite the surprise for everyone in the small town. It's already stressful, but then she lies. And lies again. Trace is a good guy, but he can't deal with what he thinks has happened. Brindle finally realizes she has to come clean with everyone, but is it too late for her and Trace?
This one kept me coming back again and again to listen some more. The narration by Savannah Peachwood and Brian Pallino was very good.
I was given a complimentary copy of this audio book. All thoughts are my own.
