In SWEPT INTO LOVE...

It’s been years since Sally Tuft’s husband died and she was left to raise her teenage son alone. And almost as long since she told the only other man she’d ever wanted that they should be just friends. Now her son has left for college and Sally has no distractions to keep her from thinking about her best friend and coworker, Gage Ryder, and what could have been.



Gage always believed that one day Sally would move past the death of her husband and they would finally explore the passion that’s simmered between them since the day they met. Tasked with opening a new youth center in Oak Falls, Virginia, Gage hopes the trip away is just what they need to finally come together.



Before Gage and Sally ever reach Oak Falls, one night at a conference changes everything, putting their friendship—and their love—on the line, and the two must decide if getting swept up in love is the beginning of forever, or the end of their friendship as they know it.

This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews Thank you to Lisa for letting me be part of this tour. This is the 5th book in the Ryder series and we are finally getting to hear Gage and Sally's story.

Gage has been in love with Sally for 5 years but he has been waiting for a sign that she wants to move their relationship to the next level. Sally lost her husband Dave to a skiing accident many years ago. In that time Gage has become her best friend. Not only that he has become her son, Rusty's, confidant.

As ever, Melissa's writing is captivating and provides the perfect escapism from real life.  Her characters are so compelling you can't help but want to root for them.

The story had a lot of different layers and Melissa did an excellent job of pulling these all together.

I am sad this is the last book in the Ryder series but I know that Melissa always has another story waiting for me.
