For
this sweet bookstore owner, avoiding the charms of a
famed-football-player-turned-author was supposed to be easy... Funny, sinfully
sexy, opposite-attracts romance.
Amber Montgomery is perfectly happy with her quiet life, running her bookstore,
taking long walks with Reno, her Labrador retriever seizure-response dog, and
spending time with her close-knit family. She’s never needed thrills the way
some of her sisters have. In an effort to control her epilepsy, she tries to
avoid anything that creates too much excitement or stress—including
relationships. When Amber hosts a book signing for famed-athlete-turned-author
Dash Pennington, he’s everything she’s spent her life avoiding: loud,
aggressive, and far too handsome, as proven by the hordes of women who surround
him everywhere he goes. Amber can’t ignore the sparks flying between her and
Dash, but this is a no-brainer for her: Ignore their chemistry and hold her
breath until he leaves town.
Dash Pennington has spent his life running. Running the ball in for a
touchdown, running from town to town to appease his public relations reps, and
running into the arms of too many women to count. He’s also an expert at
protecting—his reputation, his sisters, and lately, his sanity. But he’s ready
to make a change. When he comes to the sleepy little town of Oak Falls,
Virginia, and witnesses the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen living the life
he craves, she refuses to have anything to do with him. But now that Dash has
found the one thing he doesn’t want to run from, he’ll stop at nothing to win
her over.

This story is pure Melissa Foster perfection, all sweet, sexy, and straight
from the heart. Dash and Amber are the perfect couple, opposites and made for
each other. The attraction is there from the beginning.
Dash Pennington is an all-American football star turned author and his first
stop on the book tour is at Amber's bookstore. When Dash sees Amber, he doesn't
see just the beautiful woman, he also sees the life she lives and that is what
he craves too. Her life is quiet, easy, and filled with family and friends.
Amber sees Dash as someone that will bring too much excitement to her life. He
is a big football star and everyone, especially women, knows who he is. But he
isn't going to give up, he accepts her as she is and will do anything to be a
part of her life.
Will Amber give Dash a chance or push him away? Can Dash make her see that he
wants to be in her life? Will they get their happily ever after?
This story is perfect, filled with a love that will have you laughing one
minute and crying the next. Author Melissa Foster has a way of drawing you in
and keeping you in the story until the very end, and you are left feeling as if
you are a part of the happily ever after. I hope you love Dash and Amber as
much as I have. If you haven't read this author before, you should and you can
start with any story. Most are intertwined but can be read as a standalone, I
highly recommend her.

This is the eighth book in this series, but as any fan of Melissa Foster will
know, all the books are interlinked and crossover and they are so much the
richer for it. We are soon caught up on all the relationships we may have
momentarily forgotten, and back amongst friends again.
Amber is the most lovely of people, and she has broadened her horizons since
Piper designed her alarm necklace and her mum trained her much loved
seizure-response companion dog, Reno. She is, however, at the limits of the
freedoms she feels comfortable with, running her bookshop and living alone, but
near others. So when Dash Pennington, loud, large, celebrity footballer turned
author, comes to town to release his new book, she is utterly overwhelmed. He
is just so different to her, and clearly never without female attention. Yet,
for Dash, the only woman he has ever been interested in turns out to be Amber.
Of course, Melissa Foster weaves her magic and we get a wonderfully rich,
passionate, and meaningful romance for both of them. I loved how family
surrounds Amber, and both comfort her and challenge her – not giving her the
chance to ignore how she feels. Dash too, is impelled to consider what he
really finds important and how he may need to temper his usual ways to make
Amber his.
Another fabulous story in which to get completely immersed, and completely
switch off from the real world. Perfect!
