Claimed by Love, Book #2 The Ryders
Family law attorney Gabriella Liakos has one true love, Elpitha Island, where she grew up and hopes someday to return. But Elpitha is in financial ruins, and Gabriella will do anything to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.
Duke Ryder is a savvy real estate investor set on making Elpitha into an exclusive resort. Unlike other investors, he's not scared of purchasing a property where one family has roots so deep they practically reach the ocean floor...until he meets his beautiful, stubborn, and enticing tour host―the daughter of the owner of most of the island.
Gabriella sets out to dissuade Duke from purchasing Elpitha, but Duke has other ideas. He wants Gabriella and the island. Duke's powerful seduction draws Gabriella in, but can a savvy investor who's used to glamour and glitz, and a woman interested in preserving the culture she adores find a happily ever after together?
*** THE RYDERS are the newest addition to the LOVE IN BLOOM series by New York Times & USA Today bestselling and award-winning author Melissa Foster. This 5-book hot contemporary romance series features alpha male heroes and sexy, empowered women. They’re flawed, funny, passionate, and relatable to readers who enjoy new adult romance, contemporary romance, and women’s fiction. While each book may be read as a standalone, you might enjoy reading the entire Love in Bloom series (The Snow Sisters, The Bradens, The Remingtons, & Seaside Summers)
My Thoughts…
In true Love in Bloom style, Duke
and Gabriella have a true and real love.
Their attraction is instantaneous but they have to work for it. It would have been easy to just fall in to
bed and hope for the best but Duke is just too good of a guy for a quick lay
with Gabriella. Gabriella is also a
wonderful character. She calls out Duke
on his intentions with the island, she hold tight to her beliefs and wants, and
make Duke work to win her over for good.
Together these two are absolutely on fire.
I also loved that other Love in
Bloom characters make appearances in Claimed by Love. Pierce Braden (sigh), Emily, and of course those
wonderful Ryder siblings all made appearances.
This book can be read as part of the series, which I recommend, or it
can be read as a standalone.
