What a fantastic, emotional book this is. I was so absorbed from page one until the end. I really felt for Mitch, he had such a horrible childhood. Loved how honest he is and how much he wants Charlotte. Can he really open up to his half brothers when he realizes he’s no longer alone? Can he keep everyone safe from Newman? The book kept me on edge and I highly recommend it.

After losing her parents at a young age Charlotte Parish was taken in by the Crews family and it didn't take long at all for her to feel like she belonged with them, quickly finding her place as a daughter and sister. Which is probably the driving force for her craving to have one of her own, she wants to find someone with the same dream, a responsible man with a stable job, good heart, and someone ready to settle down.

Then Mitch wanders into her world, and saves the day when she finds herself stranded alongside the road, and suddenly her list of qualifications for a mate don't seem quite as important. He is everything she didn't want in a mate, he's a bad boy through and through, and for some reason her heart wants him... a man that is anything but stable or ready to settle down. She knows he is the kind of man that could break her heart, but she just can't ignore the undeniable sparks that they share!

All Fired Up is an opposites attract story that comes brimming with heart-squeezing emotion, family drama, action-packed suspense, and of course some steamy romance too! I really enjoyed this latest installment in the Road to Love series, it had the perfect amounts of everything needed to keep me captivated and swimming in feels the whole way through. These two slow danced around one another, keeping each other at arm's length, the sparks constantly simmering, and me dying of anticipation. I adored these characters, they both had rough starts at life, and it did my heart so good to finally see them find the true happiness that they deserved... they are my favorite pairing of the series! I highly recommend you get your hands on this one, it's good on the heart and destined to have swooning like a fool throughout!

I requested an advanced copy of this title from the publisher, via NetGalley request, and I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased opinion.

I felt that this book was mostly steamy attraction and not a lot of forward movement in the plot until the end and then it felt as if everything was happening at once. It would have been better if there weren't pages and pages, no exaggeration, of detailed attraction between the two main characters in the beginning and more of the plot moving forward. This would have given the book a more even reading speed instead of stunted progress in the beginning and warp speed at the end.

I received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

This story was by far the best of the series.
It’s the story of Mitch Crews, a man whose life up to now, would have broken a weaker individual.
The abuse he experienced as a child and later imprisonment when he was really trying to protect someone who had never cared for him, was heartbreaking.
Now a free man, he decides to meet his two half brothers. This occurs sooner than later when he sees a young woman, Charlotte, being harassed outside a bar. A woman who is like a sister to his half brothers and one he is very much attracted to.
It was touching to see the support everyone gave Mitch and how they are willing to defend him and have his back when an evil individual from his past comes to town threatening everything and everyone he has come to care about.
Above all , it’s a story about family. In this case, Mitch’s family. Quoting Mitch, “This family, HIS family, was completely loony, loyal to a fault, a little bloodthirsty and he loved them all dearly.”
A wonderful book worth your time.

This is the best book of the series! It held my attention and drew me in from the beginning. It was emotional and truly heartwarming to read as Mitch gets the family he always wanted, plus the love of his life. I’ve liked Charolette throughout the series and enjoyed getting to know more about her. Her and Mitch have an instant and believable connection. It was wonderful how accepting Brodie, Jack and especially Ros were of Mitch and instantly bring him into the family. I loved the theme of family, loyalty and having each other’s back no questions asked. It’s a great mix of romance, humor and a little suspense that hit me with all the feels.

Lori Foster never disappoints. I loved this book. Mitch and Charlotte (and the whole family) were relatable, caring, everything every family would love to have, yet still had issues to overcome like every family does. This sgtory had everything. Suspense, romance, self doubt, acceptance, forgiveness, anger, happiness, love. And Brute's story and part inb Mitch and Charlotte's stor was perfect! Read this book. You won't be disappointed. I received an ARC from NetGalley, and this is my honest review.

Do you crave a heated romance with a suspenseful twist and three adorable dogs? Then is heartfelt, sexy romance will feel that need and then some. Third in the series, this novel can be read as a standalone as well. The well flushed out characters, the well crafted story, with just enough heat to give you all the feels, Foster ends it with such a satisfying HEA, you'll remember it for days with a smile on your face.

Applause for the amazing Lori Foster! What a freaking awesome ending! Mitch is my favorite though I do love them all. From all the doggies to the family and the drama and the as always the steaming hot chemistry from the start...this book is a winner. I am the weirdo who loves to cry/tear up when reading a book and man...Lori...this book did it several times but the story is so freaking good. My heart broke from Mitch and Brute but he got his happy ending with the amazing Charlotte and he got his family. I loved that Elliott also made good. This book really needs 10 stars.

great book. i always love how there are great dogs in all Lori's stories. Aside from that the people in them are just as loyal and courageous. finding out how big your family really is and how much they'll protect you though they don't know you is great.

Wow!!! Very well written, romantic suspense. Love Mitch & Charlotte, this just flows so well that it kept me glued to the pages and just seems real. The characters have depth and the plot is not rushed. They are totally opposite yet still have some similarities, Mitch is a loner by choice, Charlotte is a loner by lack of chance. He is all alpha yet she is feisty and bold enough to stand up to him. I haven't read any of the others in this series yet but LOVE this loving, compassionate, forgiving and loyal family circle! Very touching & suspenseful story which made me laugh, almost cry and rejoice.

All Fired Up by Lori Foster is the third contemporary romance book in the Road to Love series. It worked well as a standalone novel. The novel also has an extra layer of suspense in it so, to me, it falls into a version of a romantic suspense novel.

When Charlotte Parrish has car trouble, she is accosted by a drunk leaving a nearby bar. A stranger, Mitch Crew, comes to her rescue. He has come to town looking for his half-brothers who he has never met. When his past catches up with him and Charlotte and Mitch start falling for each other, the heat and the suspense builds to a satisfying conclusion.

Foster does a great job of building up to a steamy romance as well as plenty of suspense and action. The well-developed main characters are compassionate, strong and personable. Foster does a great job of including elements of a family drama in the book in addition to the romance and suspense. At times, it is steamy, heart-breaking, heart-warming, humorous, and tender.

I have only read one other book by this author, but I am looking forward to reading more. If you like a well-written romance with some suspense and family drama, then this may be the book you have been seeking. I definitely want to read the first two books in the series.

Many thanks to Harlequin – Romance (US & Canada) and Lori Foster for a digital ARC of this novel via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions are mine alone and are not biased in any way.

Family isn't always about DNA, real families are made of people who care about one another, who will stand beside you during tough times and accept you for who you are. Lori Foster nailed it when she wrote #AllFiredUp. Mitch wasn't sure what kind of reception he would get when he met the Crews brothers, and he certainly didn't expect to find a soulmate along the way.
Foster writes the best male lead characters. It doesn't matter how rough they may be on the outside, they are always truly lovable.
Thanks to #Netgalley for providing an advanced copy in return for an honest review.

"All Fired Up" (Road to Love Book 3) by Lori Foster is a fantastic read. I loved Mitch and Charlotte's story. This is a terrific addition to this series, packed with romance, passion, twists, humor, family, entertaining characters, rescue animals, and more. I loved catching up with the Crews family. I seriously hope we get more from this entertaining cast of characters in the future. Highly recommend to all fans of romance, family, and series.

When Mitch decided to find his half brothers, he got a surprise when rescuing Charlotte. This book is emotionally heart wrenching....in the best of ways. It’s all about family, the ones you choose and the ones you don’t. I loved that Charlotte found love in Mitch and Mitch in her. Both deserved to get their happily ever after and Lori delivers. 5 big bold beautiful stars for this one.

All Fired Up was a sweet and amazing story about, love, forgiveness, and family. Charlotte and Mitch have not had an easy life and what they both want most is to find that special someone, but what they both find is much more than that. Their road is not an easy one as they will have to deal with dangers from the past and they will have to learn to accept the love that they are being given. This is a truly sweet and touching story!

The final book in the Road to Love series is a winner. A lot of action and plenty of romance. Mitch is the half brother that Brodie and Jack didn't realize they had. He's come to town to meet them and maybe connect with family. Charlotte is the office manager/surrogate sister to Jack and Brodie. They meet when her car gets a flat at the town watering hole and he rescues her from the local idiot bothering her. The attraction is instant but will his past get in the way? A fun, engaging book.

4.5 Stars

This is the third book in the series. I think it is my favorite so far. This is Mitch and Charlotte's story. Charlotte was raised as one of the family but is not. Mitch was raised away from the rest of the Crews family but he most definitely is one of the family. Together, they are willing to tread so new waters.

This book all comes back to what makes us family. Mitch's half brothers welcome him like he was never out of their lives. They all protect Charlotte and their mom like they are treasures. Lots of secrets came out in this one. Making new family memories going forward is the plan.

I'm not sure if this is it for the series, but I would be happy at where this ended. Of course I wouldn't say no to more either.

Great addition to the series.

# 3 in the Road to Love Series

Charlotte Parrish has always wanted a certain kind of man: someone responsible, settled, boring. Bad boys need not apply. Mitch is everything she never thought she wanted-and suddenly everything she craves.
Great book! I plan to read the rest of the series to see what I've been missing.

In exchange for my honest review Net Galley sent me a free digital ARC.

This book was fantastic, I want to say this one was the best one yet, but they are all the best one yet. Once i picked it up I couldn't put it down. I highly recommend reading this book and I really hope this isn't the end of this series.

Mitch is the long lost brother they didn't know they were missing, Charlotte is like their little sister.

Thank you Netgalley and Harlequin for allowing me to read this book for an honest review.

RC received for review

Read the first one and missed the second one. This was just ok. Charlotte and Mitch had some fireworks, but the bad guy stuff was just too drawn out. Plus I didn't like the on-again, off-again stuff with Ros and the boy's dad.
