Caught by Love (The Steeles at Silver Island 3) by Melissa Foster
5 Maple Leaf Review

Her greediness for him was like gasoline to their inferno, She was his sustenance, the only thing that had ever centred him, and he needed more.

Archer is grumpy, arrogant, and does not want anything permanent. Indi loves her job as a makeup artist but has always wanted to open her own boutique for her cosmetics line. Indi decides she is going to make her dream come true and open a boutique on Silver Island, she tells Archer their no-strings-attached arrangement is over so she can focus on her business. Archer does not take it well and tries to keep Indi within his grasp. As things being to change between them, Archer's demons may just be too much to overcome.

"You're definitely more like a barrel of whiskey than a tall glass of champagne. You can be tough to swallow, but you're so worth the burn."

A fun and emotional journey of overcoming the obstacles in the way of your dreams. I smiled, laughed, and cried while going on this journey with Archer and Indi. Archer and Indi are absolutely explosive both in and out of the bedroom. The tension and banter between them is fierce and their chemistry is off the charts hot. I absolutely love the big family love that comes out in all of the Love in Bloom books. It was great to see old favourites and meet some new characters that for sure will become new favourites. I can not wait for more books in the Love in Bloom world.

Caught by Love is a small town, enemies-with-benefits, best friend's sibling romance told in the dual third-person point of view.

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.

Caught by Love by Melissa Foster delivered an emotional and sexy romance. In true, Foster style Caught by Love will not only tug on your heart, but it will have you smiling as you follow Indie and Archer on their journey to happily ever after.

After meeting Archer in Tempted by Love and seeing him shrouded in anger, bitterness and sadness, I knew his story would be intense. I slipped into his story with ease and had fun watching him got caught by love. I think Archer is the most stubborn hero Foster has crested. Someone like him would need a strong woman who would call him out on his crap. Indira (Indie) Oliver was that woman.

Indie plans to open a boutique on Silver Island. With her focus on establishing her cosmetic line and this new business venture, a relationship was not in the cards. So ending her casual hookups with Archer Steele shouldn’t be a problem. Especially knowing he has no intention of settling down. Well, you know what they say about good intentions.

These two could never seem to have enough of each other. Soon their hookups became so much more. I could only smile each time Indie said it would be the last time, as she was only deluding herself. 

Archer was an awesome individual. He may be a bit rough around the edges and lacked filter, but it added to his appeal. He cares deeply for his family and friends. It was this caring nature that opened the door for the pain and guilt he shouldered for many years. Not wanting to go through this pain again, he built walls around his heart. But Indie broke them down one by one.

It pained me to see this strong caring man believing he did not deserve to be loved. I delighted in his growth and the steps he took towards self forgiveness and healing. Indie helped him to that he was more than capable of handling a relationship. Who would have guessed he was such a romantic? The way he supported Indie and her dreams will warm the coldest of hearts.

Like all if Foster’s heroines, Indie was headstrong, smart, determined and independent. She knows what she wants and despite not having either support of her family; it didn’t stop her from pursuing her dream with passion. She may not have had her parents’ support, but between Archer, his family, and the residents of Silver Island, she had all she needed.

Indie and Archer’s romance was burning
