Description

Cowboy Cal Hayden has loved Rachel Gray practically since the first time he set eyes on her. But Cal’s a careful, responsible man who knows better than to start a relationship before he can give it his all. He bided his time while caring for his family through his father’s terminal illness. Now his father is gone and his mother is settled, but has Cal waited too long to make his move? 

Find out more about these friends of the Bradens in Love at Last, and catch up with many of your favorite Love in Bloom characters, including much-anticipated news about babies for the Bradens in Trusty, Colorado! 

If this is your first introduction to the Bradens, please note that this is a flirt not a full-length novel. Like all Love in Bloom books, flirts are written to stand alone, so jump right in and enjoy the fun, sexy, and emotional ride.

What is a Flirt? 
The Love in Bloom big-family romance world has become so widely enjoyed, I have been asked by thousands of readers to write the stories of our beloved side characters. While I couldn’t possibly fit in writing full-length novels for each of them while maintaining my normal publication schedule, I’ve created flirts. Flirts cover twenty-four to forty-eight hours of two side characters’ lives on their path to their happily ever after, while also updating readers about their favorite main characters. Flirts vary in length and heat levels. I hope you love these quick, fun, sexy stories as much as I enjoy writing them.

If this is your first Love in Bloom story, then you have a whole series of loyal, sexy, and wickedly naughty heroes and smart, sassy heroines to catch up with. The characters from each family series within the Love in Bloom world cross into other family series and make appearances in future books so you never miss an engagement, wedding, or birth.

    Melissa did it again with this “Flirt!” I loved catching up with the Trusty Bradens while falling in love with Cal and Rachel! Melissa did an excellent job incorporating all the confusing and crazy emotions that go through one’s head while you are falling in love! I can’t wait til my next Melissa book!

    I loved going back to Trusty, and catching up on everyone. Cal has been in love with Rachel forever, but his family has needed him. His fathers terminal illness and then getting his mother back to solid ground. Being there for his siblings. And now he’s finally ready to take that step with his own love life, and he’s worried he’s waited to long. Rachel has been lusting over Cal for several years, and thinks he doesn’t know she exists. A little candle making, stolen kisses, and a Braden baby ready to meet everyone. They both are able to express there feelings. This is a really good feel good kinda love story! Melissa Foster rocks!
  • He knew what he wanted and went after it!

    Wanting something or someone is all well and good, but knowing when to make your move is even better! Cal’s life was a mess and though he knew Rachel was who he wanted, he didn’t want her to have his baggage, so he waits, almost too long. When he set his mind to it, he used everything he had to show her that he was interested. Rachel has secretly loved Cal for years, but he is confusing her. Will one night at the festival finally clear things up? Better read to find out!
  • Quick read

    This is a very quick read being only 6 chapters. It was great checking in on Trusty and Westin Braden’s. The story itself was ok but when Cal and Rachael have been flirting with each other for a while. They finally share their true feelings and express their love for one another. To me that seemed quick to say I love you but I guess when you know you know.
  • A Winning Combination of Steamy Heat, Laughter, and a Wonderful Story

    I really loved this quick read, also called a Flirt. It might be short, but it has a lot of steamy heat, laughter, and a wonderful story - a winning combination in my book. I also really loved catching up with some of the other Bradens. You don't have to have read any of the other books by Melissa Foster to enjoy this book, but it will make you decide that you want to read more of them. I have enjoyed reading about Cal before, so I was so happy to get more of him, and he matches up perfectly with Rachel. I voluntarily reviewed this advance copy, and I highly recommend it, as well as the author.
  • Love It!

    I love the flirt book by Melissa. The story of Rachel and Cal is such a fun read. I enjoy reading about the Bradens. Rachel and Cal have been in love with each other a long time. When the chemistry hits it's fantastic. It's fun reading about their flirting. These two are meant to be together. Wonderful story will not disappoint.
  • Fabulous Flirt

    The build up for Cal and Rachel is in the past. From the beginning of this book they are already on fire! It’s obvious to their friends, but apparently not as obvious to themselves. This book is a “flirt”. In other words it is not full length. It covers a day or two of love and heat for the main characters! I think you’ll love their imminent collision of lovers and friends!

    I really enjoyed this story. The shorter format of the “flirt” made for a great evening read that left me with a smile and a promise. Cal and Rachel are nice people that finally get their time to shine. Mostly sweet, but with a bit of heat, I think you’ll enjoy reading their story.
