In LOVERS AT HEART, REIMAGINED…

Treat Braden wasn’t looking for love when Max Armstrong walked into his Nassau resort, but he saw right through the efficient and capable facade she wore like a shield to the sweet, sensual woman beneath. One magnificent evening together sparked an intense connection, and for the first time in his life Treat wanted more than a casual affair. But something caused Max to turn away, and now, after weeks of unanswered phone calls and longing for the one woman he cannot have, Treat is going back to his family’s ranch to try to finally move on. 

A chance encounter brings Treat and Max together again, and it turns into a night of intense passion and honesty. When Max reveals her secret, painful past, Treat vows to do everything within his power to win Max’s heart forever—including helping her finally face her demons head-on.

Ratings and reviews

Max and Treat have spoken over the phone numerous times while making preparations for an upcoming wedding. When Max walks into Treat's Nassau resort, he is immediately smitten. After an amazing night spent walking the beach and talking, Treat wants more. When he sees Max entering an elevator with a man the next morning, in the same clothes as the previous night he can't believe his eyes and wants nothing to do with Max. Only, he can't forget her. Fast forward several months....Treat heads home for some down time with his family. While meeting up with his sister at the festival, Treat sees Max and vows to make things right and make Max his. Max isn't easy to figure out and it takes patience and understanding to help her overcome the pains of her past. Until Max confronts her past, they won't be able to move forward as a couple. As much as I LOVE every Melissa Foster novel I've ever read, I highly recommend reading the original story of Max and Treat. Although I read the original novel several years ago, I don't recall it being so overwhelmingly sweet. I enjoy entertaining, romantic, stories that end with a HEA. At times, their journey was sooo unbelievable. I believe in fate and in things turning out as they're meant to be, but I don't think fate works in our favor 100% of the time. Proclaiming forever love after a couple of dates, to the Knock Out roses being the exact ones that lined Treat's cottage, to the magical ability to leave work and hop on a plane on a whim, to purchasing a whole new wardrobe to please your significant other....Separately, they are believable but combined a little too unbelievable. With that being said, I thought this version was entertaining, just not relatable to me. I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

I have a confession to make, I have not read Treat and Max's original story, so how this is re-imagined I am not sure, but one thing I am sure off is that this is a truly heartwarming story of second chances by the very talented Melissa Foster. Her Love in Bloom universe is immense and each book is different but all have characters that are real, relatable and easy to fall for. Lovers at Heat is an emotional ride for Treat Braden and Max Armstrong. They shared a magical evening together and the day after based on a misunderstanding Max ran from Treat and he has been longing for her every since. Six months later Treat heads back home to his father ranch and family and a chance meeting sees him bump into Max! The desire he felt for all this time bubbles to the surface and he is determined not to let her run away again. Max has been betrayed in the past and never in a million years did she expect to fall hard for Treat - a man who could have any woman on earth by the way, but he chose her. But her past insecurity and betrayal caused her to run, and Treat had no idea just what he had done. Once they finally get together again, and Max explains her past, Treat tells her about his own betrayal and proves that he is nothing like her ex. This is one emotional story for Max, and I absolutely loved every moment of it from the first to last page, I loved how they were together and how above all love prevails no matter what happens.

5 Star review of Lovers At Heart: Reimagined (Love In Bloom: The Bradens & by Melissa Foster Not having read the previous edition of this book I went in with an open mind. I was excited to learn about the book that started it all with Trent Braden and Max Armstrong’s story. Treat had no interest in finding love,happy with the casual hook ups he has had, but when he met Max it was like lightening striking, such was their connection. However it is not all smooth sailing as Max refuses to answer his calls and he has no idea why. When fate brings Treat and Max together again he will not lose the opportunity. I loved how Melissa Foster wove a story about hope, of overcoming one’s past and embracing ones present and moving forward together. As with real life not all goes smoothly but it is the ”realness” of their relationship that she describes that makes this such a great book. Lovers At Heart: Reimagined is a beautiful and romantic love story which I thoroughly enjoyed.
