Lovers at Heart is book 4 of the Love in Blooms series and I have to say WOW I am loving the series. Danica and Kayley are not the main characters in Lovers at Heart, this book is all about Max Armstrong and Treat Braden. They met briefly at Danica and Kayley’s wedding, there was sexual tension oozing from them both but one look killed it. Here we are six months or so later, Max still working with Chaz and it is time for the Film Festival. Treat visits his father’s ranch and also visits the festival only to see a woman standing on her car, he looks at her more indepth and realises it is Max his heart pounds, Max spots Treat her heart pounds, they are so attracted to each other it is unreal but Max will not be hurt again and tries to avoid Treat.
They do eventually meet up and their sexual tension is eased but with Max not having been in a relationship since her ex years ago and it was a bad one.Treat never having loved a woman, and demons in both their closets they both set about work through those but not together.

I really wanted to reach into the book and bang Treat and Max’s heads together, it was so obvious they liked/loved each other but they were too scared to do anything about it. When Fate lends a hand I thought yes but that was short lived.
I loved getting to know the Braden family, all Treat’s brothers, his sister and father they all loved each other so much and you could feel it just by reading the book.
None of the brothers or the sister are married or even seeing anyone ‘exclusively’ so I hope to get to know them much better in the future books.
Love, Fear, Drama, Will They? Won’t They? It kept me hooked and I loved reading it, especially the steamy scenes ;)

Absolutely Brilliant series!
