Stroke of Love (Contemporary Romance) (Love in Bloom: The Remingtons Book 2)

So much emotion! Kate is driven to help people, but gets no support. Sage needs to find his missing parts. Sage gives Kate the support she needs, and a better chance at helping people without all the obnoxious PR and politics. He gives her his heart! She does the same! They leap together into the unknown, and that is so brave. Really a sweet story and an awesome ending!

The Love in Bloom Series by Melissa Foster is actually several connected series that tie together."The Snow Sisters" series are the first books in the collection, and "The Bradens" are the second set in the series. Then "The Remingtons," "Seaside" and "The Ryders." All together there a ton of books in the collection, that all correlate with each other. I have only read books from the Snow Sisters and The Bradens so far to give you info on, this series is way larger than I originally thought. The entire Love in Bloom series is romance quite obviously, but there are also a lot of deep emotions and issues each character has to face in their book. They were not quite the light "feel good" read I was hoping for, but now I am roped in. I have read the fist book of each set (free downloads) and really want to read the rest. The Snow Sisters set, is obviously about the Snow sisters, three sisters Danica, Kaylie, and Lacy, three books. The Bradens set, as before, is about the Braden family. There are 5 brothers Treat, Rex, Josh, Dane, Hugh and sister Savannah and they each get their own books. After, Hearts at Play, which is Huge's books, the series keeps going on with more Bradens that I have yet to meet in the two I have read. My warnings for the series seem pretty basic. Lots of graphic sex, some language, there is not really any action or adventure, mostly it is the "emotional conflict" that keeps the plot moving and the pages turning. I am not a huge fan of the characters physical descriptions, I can't really picture them. However, their personalities are great. They are well developed and distinguishing. Also, overall there were no huge typos or grammatical errors that stood out to me in the two books that I read.Here is what I have on the Series:Love in Bloom::The Snow Sisters:Sisters in Love (Danica)Sisters in Bloom (Kaylie)Sisters in White (Danica, Kaylie & Lacy)The Bradens:Lovers at Heart (Treat)Destined for Love (Rex)Friendship on Fire (Josh)Sea of Love (Dane)Bursting with Love (Savannah)Hearts at Play (Hugh)Taken by Love (Luke)Fated for Love (Wes)Romancing my Love (Pierce)Flirting With Love (Ross)Dreaming of LoveCrashing into LoveAs I mentioned before, both "Sisters in Love" and "Lovers at Heart" are currently free downloads for Kindle on Amazon.

The second book in the Love in Bloom: The Remingtons series takes us to the jungles of the Central American country of Belize. It is there the caring and motivated Kate Parello puts up with the annoyingly media-centered celebrities who ‘volunteer’ in her program to provide assistance to those living in the poor jungle towns and villages. Sage Remington, who is tired of letting his money do his helping for him, arrives intending to find a way to use his art to provide real assistance.The immediate attraction between Kate and Sage surprises them both. Kate, however, must learn to look beyond Sage’s celebrity status and let his actions and words speak for themselves. Sage, frustrated by Kate’s initial judgments, must work hard to step outside himself and find ways to use his art not only as a personal release, but as a means to a philanthropic end.The lush backdrop of the jungle and the richness of the people who live there, provide our couple with more than enough opportunity to get to know and, eventually care for, each other. Sage is a gentle soul, but more than demonstrates his ‘alpha-male’ tendencies in his pursuit to care for and protect the fair Kate. Kate, who must make a decision about her future, learns to trust in both Sage and herself as she tries to balance her need to help those less fortunate with her own growing needs to be with the man she loves.This story is a bit slower in pace than some of the other Love In Bloom books that fans love. The action and dialogue are more relaxed and the cast of characters, perhaps, not as large. However, that doesn’t mean that they are less colorful or entertaining. This book is more ‘cuddle up on the couch’ than ‘on the edge of your seat’, but the story is refreshing. And Sage Remington? He is more than enough man to make a trip to the jungle sound appealing.Even in the rural and rustic setting, Foster’s reminds readers that family will always be there when we need them. Both Kate and Sage turn to their families for help when the situation becomes too much to process. Although, in this story, the intervention of family is much less than fans of the Love in Bloom series’ are used to, we are still gifted with advice and love from some of our favorite characters.Readers will fall in love with Sage and Kate and the ending that will make you say, “Awww…”.Stroke Of Love, by Melissa Foster.Get it. Read it. Enjoy!

WOW!! Melissa Foster has done it again...another great alpha male in the shape of famous artist Sage Remington, who goes to Belize to do something useful (he gives money to charity but wants to get more involved). When Kate first meets him along with the other 'celebs' she finds him attractive and feels drawn to him but thinks he's the same as the others...selfish, conceited etc...but boy, is she wrong!! Sage has the sweetest way about him and a big heart and can't wait to get painting with the village kids. Slowly Kate succumbs as she begins to see the real Sage and when she watches him with the children her heart begins to melt... Javier is so cute and when Sage is saying goodbye to him as he leaves...it made me shed a few tears ;( There are some other great characters; Kate's friend Luce, Caleb, Sylvia, Oscar and Makei. Sage has a stand off with his strict Dad (military) about starting up a non profit organisation to help build water wells in Punta Palacia and other places like it. But as his family are all around him at a gallery showing he looks at the painting he did of Kate and misses her so much that he is about to leave...I won't spoil the HEA but you really need to read this book to find out just how sweet and kind hearted Sage is <3 There is a preview at the end of the book for the next one in the series 'Flames of Love' which I have already pre-ordered. It features Siena (Sage's sister) who meets a hunky fireman!! Bring it on!!... ;)

There's not many words to be able to describe melissa fosters words apart from sexy sassy and emotional.You will laugh you will cry and you get very hot.Stroke Of Love is about sage who is an artist feeling confined to the big apple and travels to Belize to help families who struggle, children waking at the crack of dawn to gather water and work before attending school if they don't have work to do. In Belize he meets Kate who works for the organisation that runs the projects. There love blooms and then it's get scary wondering if when they return to New York they will still have the connection.This love story is one of melissa best works yet with such powerful words and steamy love as always you won't be disappointed

What a fabulous story in this ongoing series. Great place to set the story too. Unique storyline and wonderful characters. Can’t wait to read the next book now. Fabulous narration as always.

Stroke of Love’ is the second in the Remingtons series. The more I read in this Love in Bloom series lives me wanting more. I really enjoyed this one mainly because it was set in a different location to the others.The relationship between Sage and Kate is lovely and very difficult to believe that it develops over only a two weeks. Having worked with so many celebs who are ‘volunteering’ for her project merely in order to gain publicity, Kate finds it hard to believe that Sage is any different. He comes across however, not only as a rich successful good-looking artist but he’s incredibly sensitive too - along with being hot!I highly recommend this series.

Another great read from MelissaSage Remington is an artist who is restless and looking for something more in life, sexy, intelligent, strong and talented he heads to Belize to do aid work and meets Kate Paletto who is the program director and its sizzling hot between them but Kate doesn't really like celebs they're to much hassle.Things between them start off rocky but Sage wants to paint the mural on the school wall but Kate is hesitant and sceptical of his reasons but is convinced and love also grows between them and the locals and area.Can't wait for to read more from this series
