Dreaming of Love by Melissa Foster review

Dreaming
of Love

The Bradens #11, Love in
Bloom # 19

By: Melissa Foster

Releasing January 20^th, 2015

Self-Published

Emily Braden is a leader in architectural preservation,
a pillar in her small hometown, and successful in everything she does—with the
exception of finding true love. She’s watched several of her brothers fall in
love, and she needs this trip to Tuscany to get away from it all and to stop
focusing on what she doesn’t have.

Dae Bray doesn’t do flings, and he never stays in one
place for very long. As a demolitionist, he goes where jobs take him, and the
more often he travels, the better. His trip to Tuscany is all work—until he
meets smart and sexy Emily, who makes him reconsider his fear of settling down,
his no-fling rule—and just about everything else he’s ever believed about
himself.

Passion sizzles as Dae and Emily explore the history
and beauty of Tuscany. Their romance moves beyond tourist attractions to the
bedroom, blossoming into a deep connection neither can deny. But their worlds
collide when Emily wants to preserve the property that Dae is there to
demolish. Can a woman who sees the beauty in preservation and a man whose life
is spent tearing things down find a solid foundation for their love?

So before I tell you my feeling
on this story, let me tell you about the story itself. Emily; the giving sister
to all those yummy Braden men has finally made her way to Tuscany. A place she
has always wanted to visit and explore, not only for the architecture (she is
an architect after all), but for the history and romance of the place. One her
first day at the villa where she is staying, she meets Dae, a demolition expert
who is there for work.

Their chemistry is instant and it
is much more than a fling for both of them. After promising each other their
days, until Dae has to concentrate on the job that he is there for. But within
a instant of knowing Emily, Dae knew his job was going to be an issue between
them and he was going to work hard not to allow that…but will that wish
actually come true.

I have to say that this book is
THE romance book I have always wanted to read. I know that statement sounds weird,
but it is true. I read romances every day and they tend to follow the same pattern,
boy meets girl, other girl wants boy, jealousy happens, boy fights for girl 1
and then they have a happy ever after. But in this book there is no dramatic
break up that send your heart through the wringer, there is no other women whom
you want to slap. This story is just a wonderful sweet romance, where two
adults fall in love and make adult choices! And I LOVED every second of this
book.

As always with Melissa Foster,
this book is well thought out, the characters are whole and story delicious.
This is my favorite Braden story ever told and one that I will reread again and
again, as it sparks such warm emotions in me that I want to go out to search
for my own house of wishes!

I give Dreaming of Love a very
well deserved 10 out of 10.
