My True Love (The Steeles at Silver Island, #2)

by Melissa Foster

Can a man who resents the hand he’s been dealt and a woman who spends her days grateful for every little thing find true love in each other’s arms—or are their differences stronger than both of them? Find out in this funny, sexy, heartfelt romance, and fall in love with Grant and Jules on the sandy shores of Silver Island, home to coffee shops, boat races, and midnight rendezvous.

Even war heroes need a little help sometimes...
After spending years fighting for his country and too damn long learning to navigate life with a prosthetic leg, Grant Silver returns to Silver Island to figure out a future he couldn’t fathom without fatigues and a gun in his hand. He’d almost forgotten how a man could suffocate from the warmth and caring community in which he’d grown up, and if that weren’t bad enough, his buddies’ beautiful and far-too-chipper younger sister won’t stop flitting into his life, trying to sprinkle happy dust everywhere she goes.

As a cancer survivor, Jules Steele knows better than to count on seeing tomorrow. She doesn't take a single moment for granted, and she isn’t about to let a man who used to be charming and full of life waste the future he’s been blessed with. She's determined to get through to him, even if it takes a few steamy kisses...

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 enjoyed every moment of this story. A note of warning: if you are a reader who tears up while reading emotional stories then you will need a box or two of tissues. Foster outdone herself on this one.

My True Love centres around Grant Silver and Jules Steele. Grant has returned home to Silver Island after losing his leg in an explosion while serving his country. The accident and the resulting consequence changed him. Depressed and angry, he withdrew himself from his family and friends. He avoided social activities and anything which required any form of interaction with others.

Jules decided enough was enough, and she made it her duty to pull Grant out of his current state and restore his once vibrant personality while reconnecting with his family and friends.

My heart grieved for Grant. I wouldn’t understand what it means to lose a limb, but it was clear he was not in a good place. Stir in unresolved issues from the past and you have a bomb ready to explode. However, Jules storming into his life proved the perfect defuse.

Jules optimistic approach to life made her a hit with everyone. She tries to find the good in a bad situation. Therefore, it came as no surprise when Grant became her new project. Soon she would wear him down with her adorable attempts.

If given the choice in choosing my favourite Melissa Foster couple, Grant and Jules would top the list. Their interactions which had me smiling and tearing up and many times throughout the story. What a treat to see them both work through their issues together.

Readers who love their romance hot and sweet will be in for a treat. My True Love had the perfect blend of heat and sweetness.

Foster creates secondary characters one cannot help but love, and this time was no different. They added life to the story with their pranks, teasing and advice.

In this captivating and inspiring story that pulls the reader into the lives of the characters, readers are reminded that love is a powerful emotion that facilitates healing and restoration. My True Love was simply a beautiful story of healing, love, and finding one’s purpose.

A must read for fans of contemporary romance. This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading

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. Wow oh wow. I usually get emotional when I read Melissa’s books but this one was something else. I shed so many tears while reading this book. Both happy and sad ones. Something about this one really got me.

Grant and Jules really captured my heart. From the beginning of the book I was rooting for Jules to help Grant shift his grumpiness. Jules’ happiness is infectious. She makes you want to sing from the rooftops. Grant has been through hell both on and off the battlefield and I just wanted to wrap my arms around him and give him the biggest hug!

Melissa draws you into these big families and makes you feel like a part of them. I love all the teasing and good-natured ribbing the families give each other. It reminds me of all the good times with my own family.

This is the second book in this series but I cannot wait to read so many more books set on Silver Island. It’s one of those places that I would absolutely love to visit (if it was real). I can’t wait to see all of Jules and Grant’s friends fall in love and find their HEA!

"I'm not trying to fix you! I'm trying to help you see what you are missing!"

Grant is a broken veteran who lost his leg and drive for a future he knew where it was leading. Jules is a bright light in dark just like a lightning bug and loves to try and make everyone else see the light. Jules is determined to get through to Grant and try to bring back the man that everyone loved and loved the island.

An extremely emotional and heartwarming story that will pull at all the feels and have you falling in love with Grant, Jules and Silver Island. I could not put the book down and became invested in Grant and Jules love story. I loved Jules and her "live every day to the fullest" attitude. Seeing Grant grow out of his personal darkness and fall in love with Jules was as magical as pixie dust and lightning bugs dancing in the night. My True Love is a classic Melissa Foster story that is a must read and on my TOP 2021 list.
