Loved meeting Mason

Overall 5 out of 5 stars
Performance 5 out of 5 stars
Story 5 out of 5 stars

We are back and this time Remi gets her chance ha a HEA. She just was not looking for it in a bodyguard. Most of her guards would not roam to her or even treat her like she matter. She was more than a subject.

Mason was hot sexy alpha intelligent and more. He saw her for who she was not what she represented.

For me John Lane did the job very well. His voice was inviting and hypnotic.

This is Love is the second in the Harmony Pointe series, though it could stand alone.  I found it to ne entertaining.  The romance is not quite balanced by the suspense of the stalker.  I was hoping for more emphasis on the stalker. That being said, I enjoyed the journey to happily ever after of the hero and heroine. The bodyguard trope worked quite well and I found the characters believable and genuine.  Others have mentioned the dialogue, however it didnt bother me.  I was entertained and would seek out other books by Melissa Foster. 
I received my copy through NetGalley under no obligation.

I have been a fan of Melissa Foster’s since before she started the Love In Bloom series.  This book is my favorite so far.   I know, I know, I say that about many of her books but this one takes two characters who, of course, are not looking for love and forces them to open their heavily protected hearts and take a chance on each other.     Remi is still struggling with losing her parents in a car accident when she was young, and Mason has hardened himself after living a very difficult life.    These two do not belong together but they make total sense together.     

Remi and Mason have a unique relationship since they are employees, employers.   They are thrown together in a matter of life and death and in a world that criticizes their every move.    Yet, they understand each other better than those that have known them much longer.    They see the reasoning behind the actions and reactions, they understand what each other needs beyond just the quick glance, and they open themselves up to helping, loving, and supporting each other to find that happiness.   There are no secrets between them and they accept each other just as they are.   

When I pick up a book by Melissa Foster, I know that I will get the hot, alpha male and the strong-willed, self-assured female but I also know that I will get a story that has amazing friendships and wonderful families.    The secondary characters are just as marvelous as the main characters.   Their relationships are just as important and the way they love each other heartwarming.  I look forward to these characters since they always play important roles in the lives of the main characters.    And I always hope that they will get to tell their own stories in future books in the series.

4.5 Stars for This is Love ( Harmony Pointe, #2)
Book 2 in the Harmony Pointe Series and this is Remi Divine and Mason Swift’s story.
Mason Swift runs a security firm and his company have been hired to protect Remi Devine, an actress who is being hounded by a stalker, problem is Ms Devine is determined to lose the bodyguards assigned to her and that means Mason needs to step in.
It’s not until tragedy strikes and Mason and Remi find themselves in real danger do they both realise what they mean to each other. Sizzling chemistry, instant attraction and witty banter mixed with passion and suspense make this a must read. Looking forward to more in this series

Love....love....love Remi and Mason. I’ve loved Remi’s spunk since we first met her and she didn’t disappoint in her very own book.  Mason is swoon worthy and I love the protector but not too overbearing vibe. They both have such a sad back story and I’m so glad Melissa wasn’t afraid to talk about some hard topics.  I love the focus on the foster care system.  There is just something so wonderful about Harmony Pointe.

I love Foster's books. She writes such loyal, loving heroes and smart, strong heroines. I love the dynamics between the leads and the way there's always cameos from others I love.

I absolutely loved this romance! the main characters had great chemistry, and the secondary characters added some great texture to the plot. Can't wait to read the next in the series.

Whenever I read a book by Melissa Foster I always feel that she takes a piece from my life always in a good way, never bad. Remi and Mason's book was no different. Remi is a headstrong woman with fears hidden deep, Mason has his own heartache and together magic happens between them. I was hooked when Remi was talking about getting a tattoo of Just Breathe on the inside of her wrist, which is something like her I'm terrified to do. Mason comes from foster care and the scars run deep. Together Mason helps Remi overcome her anxieties all while keeping his promise to her brother to protect her.

This book deserves 6 out of 5 stars, but unfortunately, the most I can give it is 5 stars. I loved this book! It is the story of Harley and Piper. It sort of is a friends to lovers romance, or more aptly, just took awhile to realise they were more than friends. Piper is a strong, assertive, woman working in a men's world, construction. Harley is a sexy man that came home to manage his family's bar when his dad gets sick. He has the biggest heart, and tons of patience as he works his web around Piper, but does so always thinking of her. I love his flirtatious comments. Then, there is Jiggs, Harley's not so good wingdog, but a sweet addition. This book is a wonderful story with all the passion, humor, and love that you always expect when you read a book by Melissa Foster. The only thing though was that I really wanted to steal Harley away from Piper, but their love was too strong. I very highly recommend this book as your next read.

Remi is a fed up actress as her life is not her own anymore. She has a stalker, so her brother hires her a bodyguard, Mason Swift, to keep her safe, though Remi isn't happy with it all, and lets her brother know it, as she's not one to hold back. Now, Mason has moved into her home, and the sparks are flying. Remi was a fantastic heroine, with her down to earth mentality, even though she's a very known actress. Mason was a fabulous, protective hero, who was perfect for Remi, but obviously it was complicated. However, their chemistry won't be denied (thankfully), and feelings are absolutely being caught, though it takes a cool minute before anyone is admitting anything to the other. This is Love was a fun story that I couldn't put down (like all of the brilliantly addictive Melissa Foster), and even had a twist or two to set the f-bombs dropping. So, did Remi finally get a happily ever after with Mason?! You'll have to hit that one click button to find out, as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

Remi Divine, smart, sexy, beautiful actress and finally Melissa Foster gives us her story. From the first book we see a woman anxious to break free from her overprotective brother to what she can be. Then we have the one bodyguard who not only challenges her but sees who she really is besides just an actress. There is just something about coming to Harmony Pointe that brings magic and love so easily Melissa’s stories come to life. The attraction between them is strong but what really got me was how easily their friendship grew to something so beautiful even Remi still had doubts it could be possible. Loved it and cannot wait for book 3 and this magical town.

* I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own *

This is the story of Remi Divine, a movie star actress with an entourage of bodyguards who are by her side practically 24/7, but when she decides she doesn’t want them anymore and manages to lose them, Mason Swift takes over.
But when Mason and Remi get together the sparks are flying and they can’t help the attraction between them both, before their relationship can go any further, they first have to deal with the tragedy that comes there way.
This was a great story by Melissa Foster and can’t wait to read the next instalment of the Harmony Pointe series

Hands down, This Is Love is my new FAVORITE Melissa Foster book!
I loved Remi in the Sugar Lake Series and couldn't wait for her to get her own story!!!
And now that she did!!! It couldn't have been more perfect!
Remi's hottieguard, Mason is the all time best book boyfriend! The perfect combination of tough guy protector and an ooey gooey marshmallow of a sweetheart!
Following Call Her Mine, book one in the Harmony Pointe series, it was great to get to visit all my favorite Dalton's and company!
Five big happy hearts!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤

Remi is in trouble. She doesn't realize how much. With her brother circling the wagons and her friends helping too, she's shielded from most of the crazy. She's also being stifled under the "help".

Enter the big bad Mason...more like bad@ss! Mason gets it done. As head of a security team that never fails, Mason takes his job seriously.

This is Love is a sexy, sweet romance. It's filled with people you will be excited to track down. This cast of characters is exactly the kind of awesome group you'd want in your own story.

I look forward to figuring out who is from which series as well as loving on more of Harmony Pointe!

***4 Stars***

This one took me on a bit of a ride, not in a bad way (obviously), but Remi and Mason definitely had my head spinning as they tried to figure out not only who Remi’s stalker was, but their own feelings towards each other.

I really liked Remi. She’s sweet, sassy and despite the celebrity, is very down to earth, but she’s also quite naive in general about so many things that it drove me a little batshitcrazy at times. I understood why she was the way she was, but there were many times I wanted to reach out and shake some sense into her. Thankfully, with a little help, the blinders she’s been wearing are slowly taken off and she starts to take more control of her life. Mason was all kinds of protective alpha goodness. Able to see more than most do, he won me over because he truly cared about his job and the overall well being of those he cares about ~ even when he doesn’t want to.

Their journey to their HEA was an enjoyable one, frustrating because of all the push/pull going one, but enjoyable nonetheless. I enjoyed their battle of wills and how, for the most part, each one ended with both having a deeper understanding of one another, while also wreaking havoc on their emotions. It forced both of them to look deeper than either ever thought possible and pushed them to evolve. The chemistry between them was instant, but I did enjoy the slow burn of it all, even as it drove me nuts, and was very happy with where they ended up.

It’s hard not to get caught up in this authors books because all of the characters are so unique and well written that you just want to hang out with them as much as possible. I loved catching up with Ben and Aurelia and the rest of the crew (No, I have yet to find the time to read the Sugar Lake series...but it’s still on the never ending TBR list). And meet some new characters that have me crossing my toes that they get their own HEA’s in the future.

I love every Melissa Foster book I read and this one is no exception. 

Remi and Mason have so much tragedy in their pasts and a bad situation that needs dealt with. 

It’s so enjoyable to watch them both “see” each other’s real selves and grow as a couple. 

I’m looking forward to more Daltons in the future!

I have come to a conclusion, I need a hottieguard in my life. Seriously, can Mason please come watch my body like he does Reno’s? I know I’m not a Hollywood actress with a sad past, but Mason is yummy. 

I love the stalker stories, and when you add in a great twist, and when I’m convinced I know who the stalker is and I’m wrong, this was a great story. I love being kept guessing.

And, of course, Foster brings us back to visit characters from the past and introduces new characters we love, so the story is like visiting friends and family, but these are the ones you actually want to spend time with.

Another hit from Melissa Foster!  I definitely fell in love with Remi and Mason. Their chemistry was sizzling and their connection was so evident-they were definitely able to let down their walls and be themselves with each other. Particularly, I adored how Mason really saw Remi and understood her need for freedom and independence. Aiden, Remi’s brother clearly loved her but his love and protection of her could be frustrating and was clearly stifling. But with Mason’s help, Remi was able to break free and learn to set boundaries. 

I loved this book and can’t wait for more from this series.

Remi and Mason’s story was addictive, steamy, sexy and sweet. 

Remi has quite a famous face. An A-List actress she’s used to the spotlight. But it has its downside. Add crazed and obsessive fans with an overprotective brother and Remi finds her self stifled and feeling claustrophobic. Getting away to Harmony Pointe doesn’t just bring her closer to her brother’s orbit of friends but it allows her to breathe, away from the constant paps and star struck public. But this little move comes with a bodyguard requirement. 

And I’m with Remi. I’d have no objections to a sexy man like Mason around to “guard my body”. 😉 The chemistry was apparent from the start and quickly built into a steamy level of uncontrollable passion. Mason didn’t look at her as the famous actress she was, or her high profile, powerful brother’s little sister. No, to him she was all woman. A woman he took the time to understand and get to know and easily fell for. 

Their story was absolutely beautiful!!
