Lori Foster has done it again!!

When I initially started reading Cooper’s Charm my heart went out Phoenix Rose and her situation! After events in her life left her needing a change of pace and location, she was very fortunate to get the job as head landscaper at Cooper’s Charm. Just as she was settling in and making friends her sister, Ridley, comes to visit and ultimately decides Cooper’s Charm in the place for her as well! From that point, I was completely intrigued and couldn’t wait to see what Lori Foster had in store for these sisters!

For all readers who love romance novels, but don’t want the commitment of a series, you need to check out Cooper’s Charm! Lori Foster has written an addictive standalone that’s sure to have you immediately hooked and the bonus is you get two love stories in one book! Because of that fact, there is never a dull moment- love that! As with all of Lori Foster’s novels, I didn’t want it end. I recommend everyone check out Cooper’s Charm!

Though Phoenix is the main event, bringing us to Cooper's Charm, we are treated to a double feature when her sister comes to join the team.

Phoenix has come to Cooper's Charm to fill the vacant Landscaper position. The fact that the resort is far from the beaten path, and her past, makes it even more appealing. The trauma that sent her running away has made her man-shy but the calm and sexy influence from her boss is helping her to heal and move on.

Cooper has come a long way since his wife's traumatic death five years ago. He too found new life when he found and bought the resort. He wasn't looking for a girlfriend when he saw Phoenix, but she changed his life anyway.

Ridley and Baxter are what I like to call the bonus story. It happens mostly in the background but is exciting to watch. Ridley has come to make sure her sister is finally healing and moving forward. Baxter is the resort's scuba instructor. Their relationship is fast and furious but it works for them.

I don't know if this is the start of a new series, but it feels like there will be at least one more connecting book.

A cute and charming read. I love Cooper's Charm. You don't get just one love story you get two. Sisters Phoenix and Ridley are awesome. Both healing for different reasons and their sisterly bound is amazing. Phoenix is searching for a place to heal and get back what she lost. Watching the changes in Phoenix as she gets her groove back is amazing. You can't help but be drawn to the chemistry between Cooper and Phoenix. Cooper is healing over his own lost. He is protective and caring. Total swoon worthy. Then we come to Ridley. She is a character but you can tell that part of it is because she is trying to heal from her past. Once Baxter enters the picture you can't help but root for her. I love the fight of attraction she puts on with Baxter. The chemistry is spot on. Baxter is charming and patient. He sees something worth fighting for. These two couples will leave you with your heart full. Lori Foster did a lovely job with this one.

A standalone from Foster, this is a sweet story full of happy endings, with a little bit of danger thrown in, as Foster does so well.

This was a wonderfully fantastic story. I really hope there are more. This book holds your attention and you really don;t want it to end. Phoenix and Ridley are sisters who are each going threw a tough time. they both land at Cooper's Charm lakeside resort. This is where they make new friends and maybe find new romances.
I highly recommend this book.
Thank you harlequin and Netgally for allowing me to read this book for an honest review.

Another great read by Lori Foster. I really enjoy her story lines and her characters. She is always a big seller in my store and I love recommending her books to new readers. I am looking forward to more books in her series

Lori Foster is one of my go to authors, most of her characters are such fun. I really enjoy when she incorporates animals. The descriptions of Sugar and all of her faces just made the story all that much cuter. This definitely goes in the must read again pile. Cooper's Charm was a warm-hearted read and what I needed at the time. Highly recommended!

Received ARC in exchange for voluntary honest review from NetGalley

Cooper's Charm is utterly charming and delightful! Phoenix and Ridley have wonderful friendship that shines throughout the book. Cooper and Baxter are hot and compliment them beautifully.
I found Phoenix and Cooper's romance a little stronger and believable. Ridley and Baxter was a little too insta-love for me and their ending was a little too sudden. There were a few moments where I couldn't quite believe a character's motivation, but overall this is a wonderful read I have no doubt I will come back to time and time again.

Phoenix has to get away from a traumatic event that changed her life forever. After doing some research, she finds a community that looks peaceful, gets a job, and starts a romance with Coop. Coop has been through a tragic event as well and Phoenix seems meant for him. Unfortunately, her past comes to harm her and she has to get her inner warrior woman back to fight it. Lots of red hot romance too!

Phoenix (love the unique name) and Cooper’s romance was a wonderful mix of sensual and sweet! I enjoyed so much about them-their work ethics, dynamic personalities, and their shared love of animals, just to name a few. I also loved the delicious build up of sexual tension. Foster writes some of the best chemistry scenes between couples, so I knew the anticipation would be worthwhile. And when the fireworks finally erupted...yowza!

As a double bonus, we also get Phoenix’s sister’s romance. Riley is coming out of a failed marriage while Baxter, the resorts’ scuba dive instructor, is kind of a ladies man. I got a kick out of Riley’s sarcastic, sassy mouth and loved Baxter’s charismatic personality. The playful edge to their sexually charged banter was absolutely delightful, but the chemistry...think sizzling and electrifying!

The secondary characters are just as much fun! Cooper has collected a hodgepodge of employees who act like one big, crazy extended family. And who wouldn’t love that?! Their nosiness could be bothersome..and have the world’s worst timing when a certain someone was romancing his girl...however, to know there’s always someone there to help lend a hand or a shoulder for support said a lot about the group.

And I have to mention Sugar, Cooper and Phoenix’s unexpected furry bundle of chaotic fun! Dogs can say so much with their expressions and the descriptions of Sugar’s soulful brown eyes and head tilts conveyed a lot. Plus, she was just a super cute character!

Protective heroes, feisty heroines, one adorable puppy rescue, and a madcap group of charming secondary characters made Cooper’s Charm a delightfully warm-hearted read! Mild suspense and two great romances round things out in style. I have my fingers crossed in hope that there will be a few more stories to come from Cooper’s Charm RV Park and Resort.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I just received the ARC today and immediately started reading. It was indeed a charming story, and as the cover promised, there is indeed a dog. I enjoyed both romances and how they played out differently. Like many of the authors other books, I will end up re-reading this book several times. I am also curious about some of the supporting characters and would like to see them find love in a future book.
