Title: Love Required
Book #3 in the Real Love Series
Author: 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?
Love Required is the third novel in Melanie Codina’s Real Love Series and is every bit as satisfying as the first two novels. If you haven’t read Love Realized and Love Resisted yet, you definitely want to get your hands on those before reading Love Required.
This novel is based around Jason Michaels who we’ve grown to love in this series. He’s a delectable slice of man pie – tall, loyal, and fiercely protective. Although I have loved the men from the other two novels, I have been dying for Jason’s story to release. He’s been a favorite of mine since the beginning and it was fantastic to finally get inside his head. He’s swoon-worthy to the max.
On the flipside we are introduced to Tori (Victoria) Peterson. She has finally found refuge from her dark and tainted past and is building a bright future with a clean slate. I loved her character and embraced her from the moment light was shed on her dangerous past. The chemistry between Jason and Tori is explosive. These characters are both hard headed and it makes for some playful banter and super steamy scenes.
As for the story overall, ladies get ready to be swept off your feet. Jason and Tori’s journey was wholeheartedly refreshing. It cured my mega book hangover from the angsty torture-fest I subjected myself to before diving into Love Required. I also enjoyed getting a glimpse at the lives of characters from the first two books. Something I love about all of Melanie’s books is how well rounded and complete they are. I have easily been consumed by each story and unable to put them down until the very end. They’re the perfect balance of romance, humor, and just the right amount of drama.
This series has quickly become one of my all time favorites. Each book is full of heartwarming romance and has left me feeling incredibly satisfied. If you’re looking for a quick and thoroughly enjoyable read then one-click the Real Love Series by Melanie Codina.
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.
