Losing her job, decking a man who could not keep his hands to himself, and living out of her car are, to her mind, just temporary setbacks on the way to getting back on her feet. Proud and used to steering her own life, the last thing Rebecca wants is a man swooping in to rescue her, even one as handsome, wealthy, and charismatic as Pierce Braden. Pierce has always been the white knight, the man who fixes things and saves the day, and he is completely unprepared to fall for a woman who flatly refuses to be saved. The more he tries to help, the harder she pushes back, and he slowly realizes that winning her may mean setting down the armor he has always hidden behind. As pride and pain give way to something tender, both must decide whether to let another person in. It is a steamy, emotional romance about grief, independence, and learning to accept love on equal footing.",2014,"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kxq6b1xgg9bhg2hajpasajts.jpg?v=dbe6c23975","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kxq6b1xgg9bhg2hajpasajts.png?v=6b2078ee3f","LcF5]gxtx]t7_NWVtRofo~Rji_ni","5.00",1,300,341,0,"complete",false,true,[17,17,17,17,17,17,17,17,17,14],[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.

Romancing My Love #17 in the Love in Bloom series and #9 in the Braeden series is no exception. \nRomancing My Love is the kind of story that will stir up your emotions, but the one it resonated for me was the pain of losing a loved one. Having recently lost my mom under the same circumstances as Rebecca, the female protagonist, it was easy for me to relate to her and the pain she was going through. I understood exactly how she felt and for me this story brought back some painful, angry and happy memories.\nRebecca likes to be in total control of her life. She is self-sufficient and detests relying on others for help, as such when she met Pierce Braden, who was determined to be her knight in shining armor, she was having none of it.\nPierce an entrepreneur and billionaire was captivated by Rebecca the first time he laid eyes on her. He is a womanizer whom could have any woman he wanted. Women were always throwing themselves at him so he was pleasantly surprised when Rebecca was not susceptible to his charms at first. Due to his persistent nature, he was able to wear down her resistance.\nThese two are great together, but Rebecca is afraid to trust her heart to Pierce. Her desire to be in control at all times ends up affecting her ability to trust and to allow Pierce to love her the best way he knows how.\nPierce is patient with her and is willing to love her on her own terms even if it meant suppressing his desires to protect her. This was not easy for him as he is the type of man that any woman would love to have in their lives. He is loving, sensitive, compassionate and passionate.\nAfter reading this book I have to say without a doubt that Melissa Foster has joined my list of must read authors. She is skilled at weaving a story that pulls you in and keeps you entertained to the very end. Her stories are usually based on some real life issues to which her readers can relate.\n\nRomancing My Love is a beautiful and romantic story that will tug at your heart strings and will stay with you for days. \n\nNB I received a complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.",5,"none","rv-01kxq6b2fey9pv28s81h3nt27w",[],"2026-07-17T04:46:16.000000Z",{"first":7,"last":7,"prev":7,"next":7},{"path":126,"per_page":127,"next_cursor":7,"prev_cursor":7,"has_more":19},"https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fapi\u002Fworks\u002F01kxq6b1xgg9bhg2hajpasajts\u002Freviews",20]
