Vested Interest: ABC Corp #3
Loved by Liam
Liam Callaghan is happy with the way things are.
He has a successful business, a family he loves, and a life he thinks is fulfilling and complete.
Until a favor for his brother brings him to her.
She sparks something inside him. Something he had no idea he was missing.
One touch and he knows Paige Winters is the woman he wants.
She and her daughter become his focus. His world.
He only has to convince her to believe in them.
Liam entered Paige’s life quietly, but from the moment he took her hand, her world exploded.
Larger-than-life, he stepped in, brightening her days and filling her with happiness.
But she has more than her own heart on the line.
Her daughter, Lucy, has to come first.
As much as her soul yearns for him, can she trust his words?
Can the seeds love plants take root and bloom, growing over the past?
If Liam has anything to do with it, they will.
Author Note: You have read their story as told through Ronan and Beth in FINDING RONAN'S HEART. But readers have asked to see it through the character's eyes - and my characters agreed. This is a companion novel to be enjoyed with Vested Interest: ABC Corp Book 2.

Loved by Liam is book three in the Vested Interest: ABC Corp series by Melanie Moreland. We met Paige and Liam in the previous book, Finding Ronan’s Heart, and we know that their story was taking place at the same time as Ronan and Beth’s. Now is your chance to find out their story first hand. Get your tissues ready. They will be happy tears I assure you.
Liam Callaghan is thirty three years old, the oldest of the five Callaghan children, the non-triplet! Liam has a very successful landscaping business. He’s close with his family and has a wonderful life. We already know that when the Callaghan men fall, they fall fast and hard. Liam was doing a favor for his brother, Ronan. Picking up Beth to take her to him. But it wasn’t Beth that answered the door, it was Paige. And that’s all it took. He was lost.
Paige Winters is a single mother to the most adorable little girl, Lucy, and shares a house with Beth and Beth’s little brother, Evan. Paige and Beth are barely getting by, their daily focus is trying to keep the bills paid and take care of the kids. Little Lucy is Paige’s world. Paige has been seriously hurt by her ex, Lucy’s dad, and dating is about as far from her thoughts as it could be. But when Liam walked into their house, she couldn’t deny that sparks flew.
Liam knew from the start that Paige was it for him. He fell in love with little Lucy as well. He would do whatever it took, go at whatever pace she needed him to, but he would woo her, win her, and prove to her that he could be the man she needs.
Paige has never had anyone want to take care of her. She’s never truly felt like she belonged. She is overwhelmed but quickly falls in love with all of Liam’s huge family. Just as she and Beth have formed their own family, Liam’s family is a huge group of people bound not all by blood but by love. They instantly accept her and her daughter into their midst, as one of their own.
“For the first time in my life, I felt part of something. A family. It was a new feeling. One that would take some getting used to, but I liked it.”
Even though I knew the basics of Liam and Paige’s story from Ronan’s book, getting their story first hand meant so much. So many times my eyes watered in the best of ways. And of course, Melanie Moreland tops it all off with the most perfect epilogue. This is short but packed full of so much. If you fell in love with Ronan, then get yourself ready for Liam. I have a feeling you’re going to love him just as much!

This is the book you think you didn't need but your heart wants the story
As a reader, we watched their love story from the sidelines - through the eyes in POV of the main characters in Finding Ronan's Heart. I have read many books where authors show the HEA for secondary characters. But don't you wish sometimes that you got to see more?
Wish granted.
Liam and Paige feel this drawn - this instant attraction. Liam is not one for many words and of action. He proves his heart is a big as his wide shoulders. Paige feels the pull but is hesitant. It's not just her heart on the line but that of her beautiful daughter. We see so much more and fall deeper in love with the bond these two create by the beautifully written words of Melanie Moreland.
Things I loved:
- Both MC's were not afraid to show their vulnerability - discuss the obstacles and well - adult.
- Lucy is given credit as one part of the love story. Not just a piece to add lightness but real consideration of her feelings.
- Oh and Paige is a badass.
- I cannot prepare you for the epilogue. It is brilliant.
Things to consider:
This is a companion story to Ronan and Beth's. Yeah, sure you could read as a standalone entry point but as a reader, more enjoyment as seen through Book 2 first.
Touching, loving, and oh so sexy, this is a story that will fill your heart with hope. Melanie's writing is not to be missed. Why we fans call her Queen of the Epilogues is proven over and over again.
Personal Favorite: 5+++ stars
Recommend you buy it

Another fantastic book ! The ABC books with the next generation are rapidly becoming some of my favorites. Liam and Paige's story was sweet ,poignant and just what I needed. I hate bullies and men that prey on women to make themselves feel better but Liam and the word association game,blew all those negative feelings away. I would love just 15 minutes with Paige's ex,he deserves a Dublin kiss. The scenes with Lucy,Mr. Teddy and Liam couldn't have been any sweeter or written any better Another thing about this series I really enjoy is that we get to keep "seeing " old friends from the BAM series drop in here and there, and the way the entire "family " embraces each new addition. Such a fun read with the expected HEA,but the epilog was out of this world. This book needs more 🌟s.

Why do I always begin my reviews with “Damn it Melanie”??? Because damn it Melanie! I love Liam!! Every book I think I can’t love the alpha male character any more than the last, but she does it to me every👏🏻dang👏🏻time!!! Liam is living life to the fullest, just going along for the ride....until his brother needs a favor and in steps fate. His fate that is. And when she steps into his life in the form of a beautiful lady named Paige and a sweet little girl named Lucy? He is a goner. Lock, stock and barrel! If this story doesn’t give you all the feels, you need some serious help, because this book is full of them. I absolutely can’t say enough about the men of BAM and the next generation they are raising. Strong alpha men and amazing independent women. Love this series!!❤️

This is the most non angst book, yes there are struggles but Liam does a good job at navigating Paige through them. I honestly was waiting for a bit of angst or separation but there really isn't any Liam knows what he wants and is all in from the beginning. This story made me want to go back and reread Aiden because Liam reminded me so much of him (after he got with Cami). Glad we got Liam and a glance at him Paige and of course Lucy! This is a quick sweet read.

Oh Melanie Moreland, your words make my heart so full! Liam and Paige’s journey is nothing short of perfect. Seeing their story unfold satisfied every part of me that has been anticipating Liam, Paige and Lucy’s story. I absolutely adored Liam and his open and honest character. He knocked Paige’s walls down easily, she was no match against Liam and his charming ways. And Lucy, that lil girl can make any heart melt. The instant attraction, chemistry and love had me so engaged. Loved by Liam was sweet, emotional and just so full of love. When those Callaghan boys love—as well as the rest of the BAM family—they love hard. I hope this series never ends, and if it ever does then it’ll be a must reread for time to come.

I just love anything that Melanie Moreland writes! She has an amazing gift which is to tell love stories in a unique way, her characters are not only emotional but real humans, they seem like the best friend you have known forever.
In Finding Ronan's Heart we got to know his older brother Liam and Beth's best friend Paige, a single mother. They start get to know each other through Ronan and Beth developing a romantic relationship. Now, in their book we get to know their story and path to love.
Liam is a dream! A true Callaghan! He is charming, frank and impetuous in his love.
Paige has major trust issues, but Liam manages to gain her love and trust in a lovely way.
I just loved this book with all my heart!

We get to know Liam and Paige in Ronan’s story. But now everything in their POV. Was amazing, the InstaLove between then so strong. Lucy cute as ever. Paige insecurities some of them are mines too, so I feel a little more confident in me. I love how everything happens with them and I love a lot more their future 💕 Book 3 of ABC Corp is really awesome 💕

Boy oh boy did I love this sweet and swoony story!! Liam Callaghan isn’t looking for love but it sure finds it in single mom Paige Winters and her adorable daughter, Lucy.
Liam knows right off that Paige and Lucy are destined to be his, but he has to work to break down Paige’s defenses and prove that he is in it for the long game.
“She muttered something about incorrigible Callaghans.
I kissed her neck as I reached around her to grab some plates. “You like me incorrigible.”
She rolled her eyes, but she didn’t deny it.”
Loved By Liam is the third book in the ABC Corp series. The characters were introduced in the previous book but this story could be read as a standalone.
-5 Stars!-

If there were awards for romance authors with the best epilogues, Melanie Moreland would win hands down. She takes great care in letting her readers know what happens to her characters well into the future, and I truly feel a book high when it is over. I relish in the after glow and often reread my favorite parts, if not the entire book.
Loved by Liam could be read as a standalone, but trust me, you’ll want to binge read all the others that preceded it once you’re done. It is the third book in a series about the grown children of her BAM series, another one of my favorites. We are introduced to Paige in book two, Finding Ronan’s Heart, as she is best friends and roommates with Beth, Ronan’s love interest. Liam and Ronan are brothers, and Ronan is part of a set of triplets who also find love. They also have a sister, Ava, who is featured as the heroine in book 4.
The supporting characters are wonderful and feel like family. I am totally invested in all of them, they each have their own unique personalities, and although we got a taste of Liam and Paige in Book 2, I wanted more and was of the many crazies asking Melanie to please drop everything and put all of the beautiful, romantic thoughts she had about this couple into their own book, and she did (because she is awesome and loves us like that). I downloaded it the minute it was available, turned off my phone, and read it straight through.
I know there are lots of book boyfriends out there, but Liam could put them all the shame. When Paige first sees him, she tells what she thinks is in confidence to her bestie, “I want to climb him like a tree,” and his comeback is epic, especially since he is a successful Landscape Architect. Loved by Liam is steamy, sexy, sweet, and sensational.
I adore this entire family, their interactions, support, and playfulness. Liam and Paige were both smitten from their first introduction, and I couldn’t imagine a more perfect pair. She’s a single mom of an adorable daughter and is one to be admired. She has always put Lucy first, works hard, and is wonderful friend to Beth and her son, Ethan. Both children have special needs and I love how these two best friends found each other, support each other, and are so genuine and grateful for all the blessings in their lives. The only thing they didn’t have was the love of a good man, and this series had me smiling ear to ear, routing for them the entire time.
Liam sees all of her best qualities and I love how he builds her up. She’s been hurt and is vulnerable, and he never fails to prove what a standup guy he is. His words, his actions, his tenderness, and his sexual desire towards Paige will have you swooning in every chapter.
I am so glad this book is told in both points of view so we as readers can see how Paige feels, and how she learns to trust him and let him in. She truly appreciates and loves him for the strong, caring, and generous man that he is (both in and out of the bedroom). He loves both Paige and Lucy with all his heart and really is a dream come true.

When Melanie writes a sweet book, she writes a sweet book heat included!
Liam is very interested when he first lays eyes on Paige, she is to but past hurts has her more cautious.
The Callaghan men are something else, starting with their dad, big strong and love fierce but they know what their women need and Paige needs time.
When Paiges first husband belittles her then throws her away when he believes the baby they’re having isn’t perfect it makes her cautious, especially concerning her daughter who was born with missing part of her arm.
Watching Liam with Lucy and then “the family” surrounding them in love is just wow, we all need them in our lives.
I think I could read about BAM and ABC forever ❤️

I am so happy we got to read Liam and Paige’s story!!
Liam and Paige fell in love in Finding Ronan’s Heart. Now we get to see it from their point of view. Liam meets Pauge and it's love at first sight. He will do anything to make Paige and her daughter, Lucy, his.
This is Melanie Moreland at her best! Heart-warming family moments, hilarious banter and and all the steamy scenes make Loved By Liam a must read!!

What can I say that hasn't been said? Melanie Moreland has done it again, another beautiful story full of family, friendships and love.
There is so much love in this book, a fierce Mother's protective yet giving love for her daughter because finding her own love and happiness is directly connected to her daughters.
Liam though he's got this he's had wonderful teachers and support, and they aren't going anywhere. He's ready to pass those gifts along to Paige.
Now you could of course just read this feel good love story on its own but why? You'd miss Liam and Paige's beginning in Ronan's story. And well if your going to read Ronan you should really read Grace and start with book one because we'll I've loved them all. 😉

Loved By Liam
Written by: Melanie Moreland
Melanie Moreland made me cry on page two! I knew what was coming, I knew who was being talked about but her words and Liam’s concern for his younger brother had me crying on page 2!
Was she going to have me crying on every other page???
No, what Melanie Moreland did do in Loved By Liam is give readers an open view of a loving family who were raised to not let their wealth determine who they were as people. They were raised understanding that money is not why you work but more or less you work in a field that you love. Evident by the “father’s and mothers” we meet in the ABC Corp and BAM series. You show kindness, understanding and you support those who you can help. That bulling is not acceptable and that love may take a while to find or hit you as a door is opened.
That’s how Liam met Paige and in this case for Liam. I won’t say it was instant love, but it was instant something. Thoughts kept coming into his mind (and several times) out of his mouth. Paige adds a whole new element where Liam is concerned. She has a daughter whose name is Lucy. A beautifully bright little girl with a birth defect, a partial arm. You love Lucy because she is vibrant, adorable and like many children she knew Liam was going to be a part of her life before Paige would admit it.
In Loved by Liam we watch as Liam and Paige work through many issues. How Paige realizes what a family truly means to the Callaghan’s and how Liam’s love and support gives Paige the backbone to finally face and verbalize her feelings for her ex. who is Lucy’s father.
It pulls at your heartstrings, it gives you laughs, it warms your heart and it again brings home that Melanie Moreland writes the most beautiful stories.

If you’re familiar with the work of author Melanie Moreland, you’re not going to be at all surprised to hear that “Loved by Liam” is an excellent book. Liam is the elder brother of Ronan, the title character in “Finding Ronan’s Heart” and we met him during that story. The author has done a skillful job telling this story in such a way that it’s perfectly fine if you have it yet read the previous book. From one reader to another though, I think you’ll definitely want to read them all.
Liam is a wonderful character. He’s physically and ethically strong, and confident about himself without being obnoxious. A tragedy in his past has taught him that feeling should be shared, not hidden away. When he meets Paige, the housemate of the woman who has captured the heart of his brother, Liam is immediately attracted to Paige. She is a single mom to a young daughter who has a birth anomaly, and although Liam obviously sees what the world considers a defect, he primarily sees how wonderful a child she is. After Paige’s ex-husband abandoned them both, she has done everything she can to support and protect them both – including working from home and avoiding relationships with men.
In Liam, the author has created a book boyfriend who sets a high standard. Charming and sensitive, he’s also a ‘take charge’ guy who prioritizes family above all else. He can’t be happy unless Paige is happy too … especially in their relationship.
“Last night was incredible,” I whispered.
“Three a.m. was pretty spectacular too,” she replied with a little grin. I glanced at the clock and pulled her closer.
“Five a.m. is gonna be even better,” I assured her. She giggled, sliding her hand up to cradle my head. 5:00 a.m. turned out to be my favorite.
I know by now I should be used to the fact that Melanie Moreland almost always manages to make me cry at some point in her stories. Well, this time she accomplished that in a totally different way, plus made me actually say “aaawww” right out loud. More than once. This book delivers all different kinds of emotions, plus an awesome epilogue. It’s definitely a story that will leave you with a smile in your heart.

Nothing better than watching a wonderful man fall in love not only with a beautiful woman but with her child as well. Liam does not just fall in love with Paige, he binds himself into her life and shows her that the love he also has for her daughter has no rules and no expectations. Pure love that is wrapped up in such a beautifully written story that will melt your heart and once again put Melanie Moreland's ABC series as one of the best of 2021. Never any doubt that once you pick up this book that you will not finish it without having the storyline affect your heart.

5 star Review Loved By Liam (Vested Interest: ABC Corp #3) by Melanie Moreland
Having recently finished Finding Ronan’s Heart, I couldn’t wait to read Loved By Liam . Liam Callaghan, is a swoon worthy man who captured my interest and my heart. This is a companion story to Ronan and Beth’s story and although not strictly necessary to read it first, with such strong writing and characters, why wouldn’t you read the other books as well?
Liam met Paige Winters and her beautiful daughter Lucy when his brother Ronan fell in love with Paige’s best friend Beth. From the moment their eyes met, sparks flew and the chemistry was palpable.
This was an entertaining read, from the first chapter to the last and I was drawn into the story that Ms. Moreland wove, reading it in one go. Having watched Liam and Paige’s love story evolve whilst reading Ronan and Beth’s story, I was thrilled when I heard that they were getting their own story, they totally deserved it.
I fell hard and fast for Liam, in fact he is one of my favourite heroes out of all the BAM and ABC men. He ticks every box for me, totally swoon worthy, kind, caring, protective and loving. There is nothing I didn’t love about this man. Paige is one of those women who is someone I would love to call friend; she is loyal, caring and loving
The fact that we get to see more of the ABC and BAM family is just an added bonus. The relationship that Liam developed with Lucy, the love and care he showed, was heart melting. The writing is strong, the characters easy to like and all in all made for a heart warming, emotional read that ticked every box for me.

-Somewhere, somehow, I knew how important these two ladies were going to be in my life.
Liam Callaghan is the oldest of five siblings born to Aiden and Cami Callaghan. He was raised to believe family always came first, and has a wonderful full life. From a successful landscaping company, to a beautiful home in Port Albany, to great friends and family, he's a pretty content guy. Then he meets a single mom who flips his world upside down. Paige and her daughter are everything he never knew he needed. It's love at first sight, and he's crazy about them. When he wants something he goes after it, and he's determined to make her his. He's all in, and ready to prove himself with his actions, and show her how important she is to him.
Paige Winters is a struggling single mom in Toronto trying to make ends meet when she meets a man quite like no other. Liam Callaghan is definitely an original. He's charming, kind, gentle, honest, steady, breathtakingly gorgeous, and he wants to date her. Their attraction is intense, but there is so much more between them. Cautious from her past, she's reluctant to put herself out there. She never expected to fall so quickly, but can she trust Liam with her heart?
Loved By Liam (Vested Interest: ABC Corp, #3) by Melanie Moreland is a heartwarming, instalove, single mother, friends to lovers romance that will completely steal your heart. After reading Finding Ronan's Heart I was dying for more of Liam. I am so happy we got his story! This man is one of the most swoony hero's I've ever read. The title of the book is absolutely perfect! Liam loves with everything he is! It's just beautiful!!! <333
-He was unexpected. Larger-than-life. The moment I’d opened the door and our eyes met, something had shifted in my world.
-I had never felt this way about a man.
-“I want this, Liam. I want you.”

A beautiful story of love of family that will quickly take hold of your heart. Moreland knows how to write the perfect book boyfriend. Swoonworthy with an edge of irresistible. Liam gives Ronan some stiff competition when it comes to heartbreaker status. Pieces of Liam and Paige's dance with romance have already been revealed, but there's nothing like seeing the full picture. Loved By Liam is a celebration of love and family that continues to grow evermore beautifully timeless.

A perfect addition to the Vested Interest: ABC Corp, this is Liam and Paige’s emotional story.
We met Liam and Paige in Finding Ronan’s Heart and now its time to read their captivating, emotional journey and all I’m going to say is this book will certainly tug on your heartstrings because this book has all the feels you want and expect in a great read.
Liam Callaghan is the oldest of the five Callaghan children, he has a successful business, he is close to his siblings and life is good, the only thing missing is a partner to share his life with….
Paige Winters is a single mum to a wonderful little girl named Lucy, she shares a house with her best friend Beth and it’s that friendship that introduces her to Liam. Not looking for love or a relationship because Lucy is the most important person in her life and deep down she knows it’s going to take a very special man to capture her heart so is Liam that man…..
This book has it all, I smiled and giggled, I sighed and swooned and I shed a tear as I joined this couple on their emotional journey. Ms Moreland has given us a story that is riveting, it’s emotional, it’s witty but more importantly it’s written from the heart. Great read that I highly recommend to all romance lovers.

This book happens right along another book. If you read both they are awesome. If you don’t , they are still awesome. Liam I don’t think was supposed to get his own book but Melanie Moreland created this electrifying chemistry between him and Paige that fans needed it. I adore both of these characters. Paige is a single mom of a special needs daughter. But her daughter is still a normal young lady with some physical challenges that Liam doesn’t see as a problem. Paige is so protective of her but her daughter takes to Liam immediately. Liam is also a protector. He sees Paige and knows she is his to claim. But he doesn’t want to scare her off. Their romance is epic and I feel like it sweeps through time effortlessly. I loved how this book made me feel all gooey inside.

Oh Ms. Moreland! You've done it again! Loved by Liam is the third standalone in the Vested Interest: ABC Corp series which is a continuation of the Vested Interest series and if possible, Melanie Moreland, has outdone herself once again. Liam and Paige (like all of her characters) are so relatable and real. My goodness, I love this "found" family so much! Every single one of them exhibits the true nature and reason why we're all here -- to be there for one another and support one another through the bad times as well as the good times. They have each other's backs all.the.time! Some of these books made me cry more than others and this one is in the top 5 - grab your tissues -- there's lots and lots of feels in this read. Liam and Paige's relationship is emotional, deep and so beautifully written. And dare I say, little Miss Lucy stole my heart! I adored this child in "Finding Ronan's Heart" and if possible, I love her more now. In my opinion, she absolutely makes this story. And this cover is pure perfection--it captures Lucy's spirit perfectly! This is another incredible, emotional read by Melanie Moreland and I wish I could give it more than 5 stars.

Reading Liam and Paige's story only confirms what I always knew: those Callaghan boys are a dream come true.
What it started as a joke between Paige and Ava, it ended like a perfect fairy tale.
"I always thought I would meet someone, date, and eventually fall for them. But with Paige, it was hard and fast. She dominated my thoughts in the day."
We kind of read their story in Ronan's book but getting to know every detail about their relationship makes you fall harder with Liam. We get to know every fear of Paige and how Liam faces all this to let her know he is there for her.
"My love for Liam deepened, strengthened, and I couldn't imagine my life without him in it."
I feel you, girl. I just keep falling and falling with all these men and with all the stories. This is like a drug and even when I get something, I just need more. Melanie the best epilogues ever.

Liam, Liam, Liam! How sweet it is to be loved by Liam. Miss Moreland makes this novel work. The book can be consider as novella. And it is gushing with so much sweetness. I wish Loved by Liam can be made into full novel.
The interaction between Paige and Liam can be made more hotter.
Miss Moreland always writes an endearing heroes. Sweet and loyal. I have been following her BAM series and it is good to be able to read the next generation. I can not wait for the next book.
4 stars

Loved by Liam is the next generation of the family that I can't help but fall deeper in love with at each story that is given to us. This is Liam he is the eldest of the five boys and the non- triplet. He is a man of few words, owns a very successful landscaping business and is surrounded by the people that love him. He seems to have it all but he still longs to fall hard like the men in his family have been known to do. He is doing a favor for Ronan and while picking up Beth he is taken back by the woman that opens the door. Paige Winters is a single mom that has more than her share of heart ache. She and Beth are roommates that are raising their children but struggle each day to keep their heads above water. When she comes face to face with this hulk of a man she doesn't know what to think but she sure knows that she feels him and the energy he is putting off.
Liam knows the moment that he lays his eyes on this woman that she is meant to be his. Now it is time to show her he means business and that he will do everything in his power to protect and care for her and her daughter. We watch as the family once again rallies to surround this couple and the children to make them feel the love that they have to share!
Such a great addition to the Vested Interest Series !

Oh my gosh. Does Melanie Moreland know how to write romance or what! I loved this book. Liam was in it to win it from the first moment, and Paige didn't let her past get in the way of her future. 4½ stars

While I’ve read their story told by the main characters in Finding Ronan’s Heart, I wanted to see how everything started and how it developed along the way.
There’s so much love in here. Family love, children love and that one of a lifetime love story that Liam and Paige share in this book.
It’s beautifully told and will fill out your heart with unexpected cuteness and joy.
4.5 stars
