I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.I have been waiting patiently for Zev Braden and Carly Dylan’s story, from the moment I read about them in previous books in the series. Based on the titbits of information the previous books in the series provided as it relates to their history, I knew their story would be poignant and Foster did not disappoint. She delivered a story that not only captivated me, but will have me thinking of this awesome couple for days to come.

Zev and Carly have been friends since grade school. They shared a lot of firsts, which includes first kiss and first love. They dreamed of spending the rest of their lives together, doing the things they loved. However, tragedy struck, changing the trajectory of their lives, and putting an end to their dream of happily ever after. Will Zev and Carly find their way back to each other or will time and distance prove fatal to what they once considered a beautiful and loving relationship.
I enjoyed every moment spent in Zev and Carly’s world. Their story was one of second chances. A second chance for healing and to rekindle a love that was once lost. Carly and Zev were a beautiful couple and I couldn’t help but root for them at every turn of the page. Having suffered so much pain and heartache in the past, they needed something good in their lives for a change. Finding their way back to each other was the first step in their journey towards healing and love. Despite the difficulties encountered, their love proved strong enough to navigate the obstacles encountered. Their love for each other was clear in every word and action expressed.
I loved how their romance developed. Despite their history, they took their time getting reacquainted, and in the process, they made fresh memories while reliving the old ones. Their chemistry was off the charts and their moments of intimacy would have likely set my phone on fire.
The author introduced the reader to the intricate and legal world of treasure hunting. A process, which made me realize that while it may be fun and adventurous, it was not a glamorous career.
The secondary characters brought a lightness to the story, so there were several humorous moments. As usual, I am looking forward to the stories of those characters that have yet to be released.
Conclusion/Recommendation
Searching for Love was a heart-warming and passionate second chance romance, which showed how true love can survive distance and time and that it had the power to heal and conquer all.

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews I received this book for free an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thank you to Melissa for my copy of this book. I am a HUGE fan of Melissa and I have been loving this latest Braden/Montgomery series so I just had to read this book!

Zev and Carly were inseparable when they were younger, right up until a tragedy made Zev run away breaking her heart in the process. Zev was trying to protect Carly when he ran away but he hurt her all the same. Fast forward 10 years and these two bump into each other again. Whoa, you could feel the sizzle jumping right off the page in that scene!

Zev, Zevy, Zev. Oh man, I would pack up my stuff right now and go on any adventure you asked! That man is kind, considerate and damn sexy! I fell in love with Zev about 2 pages in! And Carly is the girl I definitely need to be friends with. I mean she runs a chocolate shop!! But seriously she is so sweet and she takes care of all her friends. I would love to be part of her gang with Birdie and Quinn!

I loved catching up with old characters and meeting quite a few new ones (oh Hello, Cutter). I can't wait for more books in this series and what I'm pretty sure will be another Dark Knight Series!
