Love Required

Book #3 in the Real Love Series

Melanie Codina

Jason Michaels knows second chances are very much a part of “happy ever after.” He’s seen it firsthand, more than once. So when will it be his turn? He has a great group of friends and family to share his life with, but he knows there is one thing still missing. Love isn’t something he’s been avoiding, he just hasn’t found it yet… or has he?

Tori Peterson has made mistakes in her life, but they all pale in comparison to her marriage. Luckily, she’s a woman who quickly learned from her mistakes. Doing everything in her power to escape the man who promised to cherish her, she builds herself a life she can be proud of. Never again will she be fooled into being with a man who she might love. She knows she has too much to lose. Her hope? That she will recognize real love when she finds it. Her fear? That her past will catch her before she has a chance to find the love she deserves, the love that is required … So what happens when her hopes and fears catch up to her at the same time?

Review

    

I really enjoyed the first 2 books in this series and this one was no exception to that theme. It was passionate, dramatic, and really tugged at my emotions at times. I felt attached to the characters and couldn’t put the book down until I was finished.

I just loved Jason and Tori. Jason is that total hot alpha male but also sweet and protective to the ones he loves. Tori had a rough life in her previous marriage but has become a strong person and persevered. It was obvious this couple was meant to find each other. I felt connected to them (as I did with the couples in the previous 2 books) and easily found myself emotionally invested in their wellbeing. All of their friends and family are wonderful and the personality in each character is different yet complimentary to each other. It is a great group of people and I truly enjoyed reading about Jason and Tori and the whole gang.

The story line had my antsy to see how things evolve with Jason and Tori but also biting my nails in apprehension over Tori’s past and how things will turn out for her. I was riveted from the very beginning of the story and I highly recommend not only this book but the entire series. It was a wonderful book and I give it 5 out of 5 books!

Melanie is an amazing mother of four, an awesome and tolerant wife to one, and nurse to many. If you don’t believe her, just ask anyone in her family, they know what to say. She is also a devoted chauffeur, the keeper of missing socks, a genius according to a six year old, the coolest soccer uniform coordinator according to a twelve year old, and the best damn ‘mac-n-cheese-with-cut-up-hot-dog maker in the whole world. Well that last title isn’t really official, but it’s still pretty cool to be called it. When not being ordered around by any of the kids, you can find her with her nose in a book or on the sideline of a soccer game cheering on one team or another. But that’s mostly because she has a thing for the coach. When she is not doing all of the above, you can find her obsessed with a group of fictional characters all vying for a spot on the page of whatever she’s working on. It’s a fun and crazy life to lead, but wouldn’t have it any other way Melanie is an amazing mother of four, an awesome and tolerant wife to one, and nurse to many.
