Book #2 The Bradens of Peaceful Harbor, Love in Bloom
Fall in love with Cole Braden in the Bradens of Peaceful Harbor. Hot, sexy, & wickedly naughty second cousins to the Weston, Colorado Bradens we know and love. .
In SURRENDER MY LOVE... Annalise "Leesa" Avalon never realized that one sentence could change her life until one of her students revealed his crush--and within twenty-four hours she finds herself under fire. After a grueling investigation that turns her life upside down, she steals away to Peaceful Harbor, Maryland, with a new identity to try to pull herself back together and figure out her next step.
From the outside, Cole Braden lives a charmed life. He's a top orthopedic surgeon with a thriving practice, strong family ties, and friends he adores. But there's a lonely spot inside Cole that no one can see. He has an enormous heart--and a painful past--but the desire to love and be loved is too strong to ignore.
A chance encounter brings Leesa and Cole together, and the attraction is immediate and intense. But a relationship is the last thing Leesa needs--and the only thing Cole wants. Long talks, heated moments, and deep connections are hard to resist, but the harder Cole tries, the more Leesa pulls away. Cole might truly be the right man for Leesa, but is Leesa the right woman for him?
SURRENDER MY LOVE is part of the Love in Bloom series. While SURRENDER MY LOVE can be read as a stand-alone novel, for even more reading enjoyment you may want to read the entire Love in Bloom series in series order.
My Thoughts…
Just the thought of the Braden family makes me smile and
blush. Cole Braden just adds to that
blush and smiles. He is sweet, sexy,
and so wonderful. Then enter Leesa,
with two e’s. His amazingness just
grows with every interaction between the two of them. While Leesa’s entire life has been turned
upside down all with the words of one little boy, Cole has had a stable life
with a wonderful set of parents and many siblings. Cole brings stability and safety to Leesa’s
world. I am not sure that I have ever
met a character that was so understanding and patient.
The setting of Peaceful Harbor is definitely one of my
favorites. The seaside town, the
wonderful neighborhood, and the amazing people is wonderful. There is a small town feel without it being
overwhelming. People watch out for
each other and yet respect the privacy of each other. I love how close the families are and how
easy they protect each other.
While Treat (Lovers at Heart) is still my favorite Braden,
Cole is a very close second. If you
have not checked out this series you are seriously missing out. The nice thing about this series is that
you do not have to read them in order.
The characters make appearances in each other’s book but each book is
it’s own story complete with an ending.
