Love Like Ours (Sugar Lake, 3)
Product Description
One wrong move, and she meets a guy with all the right ones…
Talia Dalton lives her life on cruise control. Despite her successful career as a professor, she prefers protecting her broken heart to taking chances. She’s calm, cool, collected, and steady. Until the morning she takes her eyes off that familiar road and almost runs over the sexiest man she’s ever seen. It may not be the best way to start the day, but it might be the type of shake-up she needs.
Male dancer Derek Grant has goals, and nothing is going to get in the way of achieving them. As a graduate student and the sole caretaker of his ailing father, he hasn’t much time for relationships. Then Talia crashes into his life. Sweet, pretty—and so buttoned-up that he can’t wait to help her cut loose.
For Derek, falling in love was a beautiful accident waiting to happen. And it might be exactly what Talia needs—if she’s willing to let go of the past and embrace every surprise Derek has to offer.
Review
“A sweet romance with a plucky heroine and a drool-worthy hero that more than deserve romance. Recommended.” —Library Journal
“Love Like Ours is an emotional, sexy, fun, and feel-good romance. Melissa Foster provided a wonderful cast of characters in their friends and families. Ms. Foster developed a sweet romance with banter, heat, and lots of anticipation. Love Like Ours can be read as a standalone in this series. Fans of Jenn McKinley, LuAnn McLane, and Beth Ciotta will enjoy Love Like Ours.” —Harlequin Junkie (4 stars)
“This is a sweet romance and brings to light some of the hardship of the caregivers of aging parents as well as some of the painful decisions which have to be made.” —eBook Obsessed

I absolutely love Melissa Foster, she is an amazing romance author and Love Like Ours was amazing like every other book I have read.
This book is about Talia Dalton and Derek Grant, they meet in an extraordinary way and it seems they are a magnet to one another.
What I liked about this book in particular is that I could relate to it more, it wasn't just another romance book, it had depth in it too, with Derek caring for his father who had early onset Alzheimer's which a family member of my own had and has sadly passed from this awful thing. The caring, the moments of lucidity, the moments of confusion and anger. Melissa Foster did a lot of research when writing this and it showed because she was spot on. Obviously, there was a happily ever after but there were twists and turns throughout.
A fantastic book I would highly recommend it
