Bursting with Love has one of my favorite couples and is one of my favorite stories by Melissa Foster. Really loved the story of Savannah Braden and Jack Remington. Jack’s overcoming a tragic past when he and Savannah meet, and Jack decides to try a relationship with Savannah and Savannah does a great job of being there and supporting Jack. I really liked being part of their journey and especially Jack’s journey and what a great ending to this story. I listened to this as an audiobook narrated by B.J. Harrison. I liked how he narrated the plane ride and landing into Colorado, it made you feel like you were part of the group. It always makes me smile when Hal comes to life through this narrator, and it’s something I always look forward to. I also thought he did a great job narrating Ralph as well, it was very touching. B.J. Harrison did an amazing job narrating this book and I would give this more than 5 stars if I could.

Savannah is a strong independent woman who needs a man who can handle her. Jack is lost soul of a man who needs an independent woman to center him. Together they are fire and ice who find their harmony. This series is all read by the same narrator and I’m finally used to his inflection and am enjoying the stories.

I am completely & totally in love with the Braden's! This book definitely did not disappoint! I loved seeing Jack transform back into his old self with Savannah's help! I love Hal's advice for the kids & how protective they are of each other! This was an all around wonderful heart warming book! ❤️

After having been burned yet again by her on again off again celebrity boyfriend, Savannah Braden needs a break from everything. A break from the city, her job, and certainly from men. Signing up for a survival camping trip sounds like just the solution, a chance to concentrate on herself and regroup. There’s just the matter of that too sexy for words guide she can’t take her eyes off of. Jack Remington is a broken man. Having lost his wife in a terrible accident, he’s abandoned his own life, leaving his job and family behind to live in the wilderness, away from everyone who blames him. Except he can’t get away from himself. And now he also can’t get away from the beautiful city girl taking part in his latest wilderness survival trip. The Verdict: At the rate this is going, my reviews of books in this series will soon have to be done via audio tracks filled with nothing but sighs and squeals. I love this book way too much for words. I’ve been itching to get to Savannah’s story for a while now. She just seemed like so much fun and so full of life and love for her family in the previous books that I couldn’t wait to step into her tale — and it was better than I could have imagined. However, I wasn’t very interested in Jack before now. He just seemed kind of reserved and boring, and while I knew he would come across a lot better in his own book, I had no idea he was the hottest man who ever (fictionally) lived. I may have to reread this one to stave off the withdrawal. As usual, the characters didn’t play into the typical romance novel cliches. Jack was angry and brooding but never once took it too far, and Savannah, for all her understanding, never coddled him or compromised her own needs. Their chemistry was indescribable (seriously, sex in the woods is ridiculously appealing now), and even when things should have seemed like they were moving terribly fast, it all seemed so natural. Like I said, it’s way too much for words, so while I could go on and on and on, I’ll just say I loved every delectable second of Savannah and Jack. The whole Love in Bloom series is pretty amazing, but Bursting with Love just blew me away. It’s sweet and heartbreaking and sexy and easily one of the best romances I’ve ever read.

Bursting with Love by Melissa Foster is book eight in her Love In Bloom series and book five in The Bradens portion of the series. This book can be read as a standalone but you may get more enjoyment by following each individual characters story arc by reading the series in order. It also has a Happily Ever After ending but prepare yourself for the journey which is heartbreaking at times. Savannah Braden has had enough. She caught her boyfriend cheating on her, AGAIN. So, survival weekend getaway in the woods it is! What better way to re-center herself and re-evaluate her priorities and life in general. Everything goes great UNTIL she lays eyes on the guide for the weekend. He is the most beautiful man she's laid eyes on. Shame he's an arrogant jerk. Jack Remington is a former United States Army Special Forces officer and after he lost his wife in a tragic accident, he's been doing these survival training weekends as his way to stay connected with the world. Maybe not connected with his family or friends, but at least with people and the outside world. When he locks eyes with the stunning Savannah, part of his latest survival group, he actually momentarily forgets his grief for the first time since his wife's death. The joining of these two people (emotionally and physically) is a powerful love story that does not disappoint.

This book made me cry so many times. What a beautiful story! I love the characters. I also love the emphasis the author puts on family.
