Seized by Love (Love in Bloom - The Ryders)

This is by far Melissa's sauciest story YET...and my absolute favorite!! I love the new Ryder family and all of the sibling closeness that we've grown we n to love with the Braedens a nd Remingtonsz. This book is full of HOT and steamy, as well as sad and heart-wrenching...it kept be "glued" from the very first page...a definite must read!!!

A beautiful story, with a little naughty, a lot of nice, and two wonderful characters who are completely perfect together. Every book by his author makes me love her more and more! Melissa Foster is a genius, along the levels of Johanna Lindsey, Catherine Coulter, Susan Mallery, and the Nora Roberts. I can't put her books down and I can't wait for the next ones in the series.

Blue and Lizzie are perfect couple there is no way you are not going to fall in love with Blue. Just started reading Melissa's books , they are wonderful. Characters come to life between the pages !!!

This book is HOT! Melissa has managed to create, yet another, breath taking and captivating another book in her Love In Bloom series! Amazing story, fun lists, and the Naked Baker! LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!

Blue Ryder has been attracted to Lizzie for over a year. Friends they have been but, he wants to take it another level. Together they learn each's secrets and how true love prevails! The ups and downs keep you involved so much, you don't want to put the book down. A true love story!

I really enjoyed the story of Blue and Lizzie, the first book in the Ryder series. Lizzie is a florist with her own business by day and the Naked Baker, a thriving webcast that she produces and hosts, at night to pay to put her sister through school. Blue is an all-around great guy who is fixing Lizzie's kitchen for her and falling for her at the same time. He doesn't know that Lizzie is the Naked Baker (no one does!) and keeps asking her out for more than a year. She finally gives in and it's smoldering!!! These two will melt your socks. Blue is everything any girl could want and Lizzie is no exception. Blue has been hurt in the past and will certainly see this as a deception so how does she let him know what she does to keep her sister in school debt-free?

Find out when you join Blue, Lizzie and their friends and family in this great new series by Melissa Foster.

Melissa Foster - Love in Bloom Series – The Ryders Book 1 SEIZED BY LOVE with Blue Ryder and Lizzy Barber.

We were introduced to the Ryders with Siena Remington and Cash Ryder in FLAMES OF LOVE (Seaside Sunsets: Love in Bloom: Seaside Summers Book 3 March 31, 2014).

We met Blue Ryder in Love in Bloom: Seaside Summers, Book 5 with Sky Lacroux and Sawyer Bass, (August 12, 2015). Blue and Sky are best friends and Sky is also friends with Lizzy Barber who owns a Flower shop next door to Sky’s tattoo shop.

Blue met Lizzy at the wedding 1 year ago when 4 couples were married all from the Seaside Summers. One of those couples included Siena Remington’s brother, Kurt Remington, a world famous mystery writer who married the love of his life, Leanna.

Blue has asked Lizzy to go out on a date with him dozens of times in the past year. Lizzy has said “no” every time. Why? Lizzy has a secret and she knew that if Blue knew that she was the “Naked Baker”, an internet sensation, he would not want to have anything to do with her. Lizzy had to make these shows because she is paying for her sister’s college and her flower shop doesn’t make enough to pay for it. She has carried this burden and shame alone since she started the show when she was paying for her own college and paid for the opening of her flower shop.

Blue was renovating Lizzy’s kitchen and she continued to decline his request to go out. When they finally gave into ONE kiss, their chemistry was so off the charts and so large that they couldn’t contain their feelings. Since High School, Blue has had an issue with trust since his girlfriend violated that confidence. Since then he has closed off his heart and will never allow anyone to hurt him like that again.

What will happen if Lizzy and Blue continue to get closer and he finds out about her secret? Find out what happens to Lizzy and Blue as they continue toward a possible Happy Ever After.

Seized by Love: Blue Ryder is a love story between a sweet man and Lizzie Barber local florist with a unmentionable night job. The emotional connection was the saving factor between the characters and the interaction with Blue's family showed how the love and support of family builds happy, giving and competent adults. The plot was interesting but the story was a bit slow, but still a good story line.

I usually enjoy reading Melissa Foster and look forward to the next book but I have to say this book "blue Ryder" was way different ... I got bored about half way thru...it did not hold my attention whereas the others that I've read I couldn't put down..hoping the next one is better
