Jules Steele knows exactly how precious that future is. A cancer survivor, she refuses to take a single day for granted, and she will not stand by while the once-charming, full-of-life man she remembers wastes the second chance he has been given. Where Grant is guarded and weighed down by resentment over the hand he has been dealt, Jules meets each moment with gratitude and stubborn optimism, and their clashing outlooks strike sparks from the start. As she pushes him to reengage with the world and he slowly lets her past his defenses, the two discover that their differences might be exactly what they each need. Set on the sandy shores of Silver Island among the sharp-witted Steeles, this is an emotional, steamy romance about resilience, gratitude, and whether a wounded warrior and a woman who treasures every heartbeat can build a true love strong enough to overcome all that stands between them.",2021,"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxpwb5zc4meyyyjvc1nfvhgc.jpg?v=a55be4f54a","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kxpwb5yszweqh920gm4q9e6q.png?v=a28c843e5a","LFKn9,=}~B~qP;%fyDxt0JNHW=4n","4.00",1,300,341,0,"complete",false,true,[17,17,17,17,17,17,17,14,17,17],[23],{"id":24,"slug":25,"name":26,"role":27,"bio":28},"01kx262b7fyxe3z8beha1bc09z","melissa-foster-ffxg","Melissa Foster","author","A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author, Melissa Foster has written more than 100 novels and sold millions of copies worldwide.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I enjoyed every moment of this story. A note of warning: if you are a reader who tears up while reading emotional stories then you will need a box or two of tissues. Foster outdone herself on this one.\n\nMy True Love centres around Grant Silver and Jules Steele. Grant has returned home to Silver Island after losing his leg in an explosion while serving his country. The accident and the resulting consequence changed him. Depressed and angry, he withdrew himself from his family and friends. He avoided social activities and anything which required any form of interaction with others.\n\nJules decided enough was enough, and she made it her duty to pull Grant out of his current state and restore his once vibrant personality while reconnecting with his family and friends.\n\nMy heart grieved for Grant. I wouldn’t understand what it means to lose a limb, but it was clear he was not in a good place. Stir in unresolved issues from the past and you have a bomb ready to explode. However, Jules storming into his life proved the perfect defuse.\n\nJules optimistic approach to life made her a hit with everyone. She tries to find the good in a bad situation. Therefore, it came as no surprise when Grant became her new project. Soon she would wear him down with her adorable attempts.\n\nIf given the choice in choosing my favourite Melissa Foster couple, Grant and Jules would top the list. Their interactions which had me smiling and tearing up and many times throughout the story. What a treat to see them both work through their issues together.\n\nReaders who love their romance hot and sweet will be in for a treat. My True Love had the perfect blend of heat and sweetness.\n\nFoster creates secondary characters one cannot help but love, and this time was no different. They added life to the story with their pranks, teasing and advice.\n\nIn this captivating and inspiring story that pulls the reader into the lives of the characters, readers are reminded that love is a powerful emotion that facilitates healing and restoration. My True Love was simply a beautiful story of healing, love, and finding one’s purpose.\n\nA must read for fans of contemporary romance. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading",4,"none","rv-01kxpwb8h25qnzzqg2gfgpg6cn",[],"2026-07-17T01:51:36.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":128,"per_page":129,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":19},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kxpwb5yszweqh920gm4q9e6q\u002Freviews",20]
