It's LIVE & on Blog Tour with an awesome giveaway!!

I absolutely love books by Melissa Foster. They're light yet full, fun, safe, sweet, romantic, sexy, relevant, and brilliantly constructed. WHISPER OF LOVE was no exception!

I found, once again, that the characters were easy to love. Tempest was a music therapist with a heart of gold. Her beauty went far beyond skin deep. She was ambitious, family-oriented, extremely loving, and as pure a soul as one can find in any book. Nash was a bit of a tort ...more

Welcome back to Peaceful Harbor! In this fifth installment to the series, Tempest Braden rents a room from a closed-off artist named Nash Morgan. She hopes to be able to concentrate on her blooming business. However, Nash and his adorable son, Phillip, become a presence she can’t ignore.

Whisper of Love is the fifth book in the Bradens at Peaceful Harbor series and the thirty seventh in the Love in Bloom series by Melissa Foster. True to form for Foster, it was well written, well developed and filled with depth and dimension.

ARC Review: Whisper of Love (Love in Bloom: The Bradens of Peaceful Harbor) by Melissa Foster

A twist of fate, a splash of irony and whole lot of heart prove to be the driving force behind Whisper of Love. Melissa Foster does it again with laughter, love and soul stirring emotion. Tempest has a big heart and the love of a good family, but she has yet to find her heart's desire, her soul mate like her siblings have done.

Whisper of Love is new favorite Melissa Foster story. I loved the sweet romance that was fairly light on angst.
Nash Morgan is a single dad with a room to rent... Tempest Braden is looking for a change from her small hometown. The chemistry is immediate and incendiary between Nash and Tempest but Nash isn’t sure he is ready to open up and let anyone in to the world he has created for himself and Phillip.
I listened to the audiobook of this and really enjoyed the wonderful narration.

Melissa Foster has taken a page from reality, sprinkled her Magic Dust on it and... given us Whipers of Love. This is a wonderful read!!. This latest book was so relatable to so many single parents. It was a breath of fresh air to read what so many wish for. Tempest Braden and Nash Morgan are a great example of selflessness and a true definition of love.

One of the things that I find attractive is a man who single-handedly takes care of his child. A man who is willing to give up his carefree lifestyle to ensure that his child has the best of everything. Nash Morgan from Whisper of Love is the epitome of such a man. From the moment I met him, I could not help falling in love with him. Then there was his adorable baby boy Phillip, I just wanted to hug him. The bond between a parent and a child is so profound, and Melissa Foster aptly demonstrated One of the things that I find attractive is a man who single-handedly takes care of his child. A man who is willing to give up his carefree lifestyle to ensure that his child has the best of everything. Nash Morgan from Whisper of Love is the epitome of such a man. From the moment I met him, I could not help falling in love with him. Then there was his adorable baby boy Phillip, I just wanted to hug him. The bond between a parent and a child is so profound, and Melissa Foster aptly demonstrated this in her latest installment.

Nash had dedicated his life to taking care of his son as such he rarely had time for inter-personal relationships. This was further compounded by events from his past, which he has yet to come to terms with. These events induced a fear within him that led to him being overprotective of his son. His over-protectiveness led to him, keeping both he and his son in seclusion. Financial constraints would see him making a hard decision, which would lead to him admitting a stranger into his life. Making this decision resulted in him meeting the fiery and cautious Tempest Braden, which would push him beyond his boundaries in ways he never imagined.

Tempest Braeden, a music therapist is looking to take her business in a new direction. To do this she decided to move to Pleasant Hill. Being an overly cautious person, she was a bit hesitant in renting the room that Nash was subletting. However, once she let down her guard and made the choice of being room-mates with a complete stranger, she would learn that sometimes it does pay to throw caution to the wind.

The attraction that Nash and Tempest felt for each other was intense and this was clear from the day they first met, however, fear and pain from the past proved a hindrance. Thankfully, their feelings were stronger than their fears, which led to them discovering the healing power of love.

I enjoyed the story, but the parts that resonated with me was the interaction between Nash and his son. Their moments together were heartwarming and funny. The love they had for each other just rolled off the pages. I understood Nash’s protectiveness when it came to his son, although at times it may seem as if he went a bit overboard. I loved how Tempest was able to blend in with them and in the process helped them to view things in a different light.
One of the things that stand out for me with books written by this author is her portrayal of family and friendships. I love stories that demonstrate the beauty found in close-knit families and friendships that have survived varying obstacles. Ms. Foster has a knack for highlighting these themes in her stories in such a way that one cannot help but wish they were a part of something so beautiful.

Written in the third (3rd) person the story gave both Nash and Tempest’s perspectives. The writing is beautiful, the pacing steady and the descriptions vivid. There were varying ranges of emotions flowing through the story. There were moments of laughter, anguish, and sadness which when combined created a story that left me wanting more.

Verdict:
This is a great addition to the Bradens at Peaceful Harbor series. If you enjoy romance stories that are sweet, heartfelt and passionate then you will love Whisper of Love.

N.B. Although it is a part of a series, it is a stand-alone read. ...more

Small town romance with a sexy single dad with the most adorable son and a sweet woman renting a room from him

Whisper of Love is a light hearted, small town romance with a sexy single dad with the most adorable son and a sweet woman renting a room from him. While it may use common themes of a single dad and housemates, Melissa Foster captures this in such a unique way that it feels completely new as you are reading it and I guarantee you will be flicking the pages as fast as I was to find out how this book will play out. I absolutely adored this book with it’s witty writing undertone and its heart warming, quirky characters that will capture your heart.

Told from dual points of views, Tempest and Nash had such a sizzling attraction from the very beginning, but were also quickly very likeable and relatable characters. Together they have an incredible chemistry and connection that clearly evolves as the book progresses as these two strong and independent people grow in accepting new challenges (even if sometimes with reluctance). We also get to see their more vulnerable sides, adding a realistic connection between the characters and readers. There are plenty of fun, sexy moments as the two explore the chemistry between them that heats up with the mutual growing feelings that develop at a fast pace but continually over a period of time. The sub-characters add extra dimensions in helping shape these two characters, especially Nash’s mini-me son, Phillip, who completely steals and melts your heart; I personally loved reading some of the scenes with Phillip in regard to showing his relationship with both Tempest and Nash.

Whisper of Love is exquisitely written with its steady pace and perfect flow. While the book is light hearted there are plenty of emotional undertones and some secrets that add to the book’s intrigue. The descriptions were beautifully captured from the simple details to the intrinsic art Nash created, giving the reader the ability to really visualise the scenes playing out while feeling the intimate emotions. The sub-characters from previous books do crop up but you do not need to have read any previous books to follow along, allowing this to be read as a standalone with a HEA. Phillip, Nash’s son, completely steals the show at the end to make one swoon worthy sweet romantic ending for Tempest and Nash.

Overall, I highly recommend this single dad / housemates romance that I guarantee will leave you feeling all fuzzy and warm, especially with the sweet ending. I loved it!

I love the Bradens just like I love the Ryders and everything else Foster has written that I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Don’t doubt that I’m trying to read everything. She’s one of my favorite authors and this story is another example of why.
I’ve always loved Tempest’s character and her easy-going, laid-back, but cautious, personality. It took me no time to start crushing on the brooding, hot, single daddy Nash and to lose my heart to his adorable son, Phillip. Tempest has never been a wild-child and her immediate and intense attraction to Nash almost floors her. The fact that he seems to be drawn to her as well doesn’t aid in her attempts to be sensible. They hit it off from the beginning, but they take things slow (or slow enough for us romance lovers). They are both responsible and ambitious, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that they are red-blooded individuals. The way Tempest breezes into their life and shakes things up without complicating them is pure gold. While attempting to break down Nash’s walls, she lets some of her own crumble. Their emotional connection is as immediate as their physical attraction and the sexual tension between the two is enough to cut metal, something a true artist such as Nash can appreciate.
Nash hasn’t always had the easy family life that Tempest has. He had it once before, but it’s been shattered leaving him a shell of who he used to be. He’s a great father. He puts his son first, but his attempts to protect him has hindered Phillip in many ways, and with Tempests’s calm demeanor and patience, father and son begin to find more pleasure in life. Their existence has always been peaceful, but they lacked socialization skills and their communication (other than the way they can read each other) could use a little help.
I enjoyed meeting new characters as much as I enjoyed getting reacquainted with old ones; and as always, Foster’s writing is impeccable. As with other stories, the climax is mild and almost drama free, but just as satisfying (probably more so) as the more tense ones of other writers. I feel a certain peace with Foster’s stories, and I always crave more whenever one comes to an end. She has a gift when it comes to character development, smooth flow, and perfect pace. She’d definitely crafted another winner! Kudos, Kudos and more Kudos! ...more

Tempest knew that little boys needed more than just an amazing daddy. She pushed both Phillip and Nash to step out of their wonderful little world and experience the rest of the world. Having both these strong people who loved him so much in his life made Phillip a well rounded, perfect little boy.

She is at the top of my auto-buy list, and is the queen of contemporary romance. It amazes me how unique and different each story she writes is, yet I always feel so at home with her books. Whisper of Love was no exception, and I felt like I had walked right into this beautiful world that Melissa Foster has created. I loved the characters and the story so much, and this might just be my favorite book of Melissa's to date.

After watching most of her family find love and settle down, Tempest Braden is ready for her own HEA. She rents a room from sexy single father Nash Morgan, an artist living on the edge of town. Though she is determined to focus on building her business, Tempest soon finds Nash and Phillip becoming more important to her than she would have expected. But Nash is closed off after everything that has happened in his life and though he wants to let Tempest in, he finds himself wondering if he can risk falling for someone that could wreck his world.

I absolutely loved these characters. Nash is a sexy single dad with a lot more going on beneath the surface than you first see. He had been through a lot, and I found that I really understood him and why he was the way he was. Even though he was closed off at times, he was so sweet and charming that I couldn't help but swoon right alone with Tempest. Tempest was the kind of heroine that I love to read about! She was beautiful on the inside as well as out, kind and caring. She was absolutely perfect for both Nash and Phillip, her love for children allowing her to be exactly what both of them needed. I just couldn't get enough of these characters and the strong connection that was forming between them.

Overall, I loved this book and can't recommend it enough. Melissa Foster always writes such beautiful and heartfelt stories, filled with emotion and love. I really love her books, and I truly believe that you can't go wrong with anything that has her name on it. That being said, this is seriously one of my favorites of hers that I have ever read and would be at the top of my list of recommendations for readers looking for a great contemporary romance. Whisper of Love drew me right in and I never wanted this story to end.

She had been temporarily bunking with her cousin, but because of the odd hours that she kept, Tempest NEEDED to find her own place where she could get her routine set up.

Nash Morgan is a single dad who used to be an artist. He started making furniture when his son was born in order to pay the bills. The furniture is beautiful and original, a nice way to let his love of making something people will love out. However, he longs to get back to the metal sculpting he is known for. But with a toddler, it’s not a safe thing to do.

Tempest wants to start her own business, music therapy for children. She also helps out at hospitals with her therapy with the sick children. But her first love is teaching and using her music as a way to heal. This is why she has come to Pleasant Hill. She longs to make a good life for herself. Step one is to find an affordable place to live and set up camp. Enter Artsy and Handsome Nash Morgan and his adorable little boy. Nash is renting a room in his home for extra money so he can focus on his business.

Once Tempest moves in with the duo, she starts to notice little quirks about Phillip, Nash’s son. He was almost non-verbal, but not because of anything physically wrong with him, but because of the life he has been living alone with his protective dad. Nash loves his boy more than anything and all he wants to do is raise him in a safe place. Nash didn’t realize the developmental delays because of their secluded existence.

The sparks started flying immediately when Tempest and Nash met. Heat and connection, these two can’t keep their hands off each other. He leaned how to be a better daddy because of her and he opened up to the possibility of long term love.

This story is so sweet. It brings hope and faith to the forefront and shows that even though bad events happen in your life, there is always a chance at love.

Whisper of Love by Melissa Foster is sweet. It reminds you that family is everything, love can be perfect and life is what you make it.

I received an audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I love audio books and B.J. Harrison is one of my favorite narrators. He continually does an exceptional job of breathing life into Melissa Foster's unforgettable characters, putting you in the middle of the story with his ability.

One of my favorite tropes is single brooding dad who willingly sacrifices for his child. Nash is drool worthy and no one does it better than Melissa Foster.

Nash Morgan is a hot, brooding and completely devoted single dad to his adorable three-year-old son Phillip. He's cautious and careful, putting his son's well-being above all else, even putting his successful sculpting career on hold. Nash is no stranger to tragedy and he makes Phillip the center of his universe. He is a tortured soul who guards his heart. Watching the two of them go about their daily routine melts your heart. Nash is openly affectionate with Phillip and nothing is sweeter, always wanting Phillip to feel loved and secure. Nash decides to rent a room out for extra income and he's extremely careful about who he's bringing into their home and into their lives.

Enter Tempest "Tempe" Braden. Beautiful, sweet, sexy and completely genuine, Tempest is a music therapist who moved to Pleasant Hill to grow her business and rents the room Nash has advertised. Tempe is open and so easy to be around that she helps open Nash's eyes to some things Phillip might be missing out on.

I love that while hard for Nash to hear that Phillip might have needs that weren't being met, he never was resentful, but considered all that Tempe suggested and as always, put Phillip's needs first, and in the process opened himself up to a world of possibilities.

There are so many things I loved, loved, loved about this book. Tempest is the perfect woman for Nash and mother for Phillip. Phillip made me want another child. He's sweet, lovable and a mini version of Nash in all the best ways. And Nash? He was the perfect tortured artist yearning for love! Melissa Foster weaves a magic thread throughout the story, making you laugh, cry and hope as you're witness to a family being born.

This man is every women’s dream. You melt with each interaction you read of him and his son. Of his love for his son and how protective he is of him. You cry when you see the pain Nash is in. His past is so sad when it comes to his brother, dad and the situation. His anger towards is brother and the situation is understandable. I hate to see him feel this way but it is understandable. What is amazing is how loving and open he is with his love for his son. How he named him after his brother even though thinking of his brother has him feel a myriad of emotion. Meeting Tempest was the best thing for this duo and they were good for her as well. They showed her sacrifice and made her feel safe and at peace. They helped her see that she was tired and getting emotionally spent and it was time to focus her energy when it comes to her professional life.

Tempest has a huge heart and wears it on her sleeve. Watching her help Phillip and Nash come out of their shells and let someone in and eventually others was wonderful to see. Phillip just warms your heart. that little guy is tote adorbs. That family unit between Nash and Phillip is amazing and tender. Nash is incredible as a dad. Watching these two blossom under Tempest and let her in was precious.

The characters will have you melt. The story of a man and his son finding someone to love and how she helps the dad overcome his past and gain family and his passion again is sweet and wonderful. Their story is wonderful, endearing, addictive and swoony. Their isn’t any angst between them only concern for the little boy and his feelings. So we are blessed with a wonderful, sweet adoring book that grabs your heart from word one and that little boy is just to precious for words. the way Tempest’s family embrace Nash and Phillip is heartwarming as well. And the story of Tempest and Nash and how they fall in love and make way in each others hearts and home is glorious. Another winner from Melissa Foster who can truly write about romance and family and what is important. ...more
