Author/Reader Match - Melissa Foster

facebooktwittergoodreadspinterestInstagram
Writes: Sinfully sexy contemporary romances with tons of humor and heart. My heroes, like Zane Walker, in my newest release, THE REAL THING, will make you swoon and sweat (in the very best way!). About:

I’m a mother, friend, and serious chocoholic. I have six brothers and six
children, and love writing about big-families with strong emotional connections.
If you enjoy steamy, family-centric romance series with sexy, alpha heroes and
smart, sassy heroines, then my books are a perfect match!

What I’m looking for in my ideal reader match:

  • Readers who devour steamy romance like I do!
  • Readers who love sexy, alpha heroes that have you swooning and...is it hot in here?
  • Readers who love smart, sassy heroines that you could see as a best friends
  • Readers who love highly emotional story lines (tears and laughs)
  • Readers who love smoking-hot love making in the bedroom, the kitchen...really anywhere!
What to expect if we’re compatible:
  • A LOT of book hangovers
  • New characters who will immediately feel like family
  • Hopefully not too much nail biting waiting for my next releases (but you have PLENTY of backlist titles to catch up on while waiting!)

THE REAL THING by Melissa Foster

Sugar Lake

The Real
Thing

Bakery owner Willow Dalton’s friendship with Zane Walker has always been a bit complicated. Now a scrumptiously hot A-list actor, Zane’s always had a reputation as a player. He’s arrogant, and he’s definitely not boyfriend material. Sure, he did Willow a favor by agreeing to take her virginity before college, but is that reason enough for her to go along with a fake engagement a decade laterβ€”even if it comes with a real diamond ring?

Zane should have known better. Nothing involving Willow has ever been easy.
Still, he knows her better than anyone, and becoming America’s hottest new
leading man means cleaning up his reputation. An β€œengagement” to curvy,
sass-mouthed Willow is the perfect PR move…provided no one gets hurt.

Now Zane and Willow’s little white lie has turned into an irresistible recipe for sweet temptation. And soon no one will be able to tell the difference between their fake engagement and the real thingβ€”including them.
