Love Like Ours is a stunning read from Melissa Foster I couldn't put it down loved every single bit of the story!

I received an ARC of this book from Netgally in exchange for a honest review. All opinions and critiques are my own.

First off, I love Melissa Foster. She's an amazing author and she has some of the best romance books out there. Next, this wasn't my favorite book she has ever written nor is it my least favorite either. It starts off with a funny, intense moment when Talia meets her guy, Derek, however the book then becomes extremely slow and hard to get into. The characters are amazing and you will see some returning favorites.

Derek definitely stole the show with this book. He's extremely complex. He's a 'student', a bartender, a male dance (not stripper). He takes care of his father who has early onset Alzheimer's disease. On a side note, I know how painful that can be and probably why I click with this character. Other people may not like him as much but I certainly hope they do.

I really liked the book and recommend it to anyone who loves Melissa Foster. it is a part of a series so you definitely need to read those first. Not as you can't understand the plot without them but you miss out on a lot of background.

I am a HUGE fan of Melissa Foster and her books. Love Like Ours was a little different from her others. Talia and Derek had a different relationship. She is a college professor and he is a bartender and male dancer. He is taking care of his dad who is fighting Alzheimer's Disease.

Call me crazy, but when reading his book. all I could think of was Ross from Friends and how he dated his student. LOL!

Talia and Derek are complete opposites. But as we all know, opposites attract! And make for a very enjoyable read! I liked Love Like Ours. It was well written and a great addition to the Sugar Lake series.

I really enjoyed this story about Derek and Talia and how they both deal with Derek's father's fight with early onset Alzheimer's disease. There was great support for each other and from Talia's family. However, I have to be honest in that I had a very hard time accepting that Derek was a part time "dancer" who stripped down to his g-string and accepted money for it. He was also a part time bartender and a graduate student finishing up his Master's degree too but I just found it difficult to visualize this relationship between Derek and Talia.. Overall, this was a good but not great book by Melissa Foster.

I was given an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Great book. I enjoyed the story of Talia and Derek. Talia is a more reserved person than Derek, she lives life more carefully, where as Derek is a bartender and male dancer. He has the long hair, killer body and knows how to work it. Talia is a college professor that has been hurt really bad by a cheating ex. Derek works, goes to college and takes care of his Dad that has Alzheimers. These two couldn't be more opposite but I've always heard opposites attract. Talia met Derek met when she almost ran him over in the parking lot, and things went from there. Talia soon sees another side of Derek once they start spending time together. Can she trust him or is he just like her ex?

I received this book from Net Galley for an honest review.

This is Talia and Derek book, Talia is a professor and Derek is a bartender, stri... Uh male dancer lol , and caretaker to his sick father. Talia is rushing to work and takes her eyes off the road for a second and almost hits Derek! Derek isn't one of Talia students but he can't get her off his mind so he sits in her class until he can get her to go out with him! She won't date one of her students but luckily he isn't in her class! This book was very well written and was a good story also, it definitely was a little sad for my taste though! She focuses a lot on Derek dad's illness which is fine but definitely heartbreaking so if you like a tearjerker this book is for you! Thank you NetGalley and Montlake publishers for sharing this book with me!!
