Lori Foster is a wonderful writer. She creates real characters. The kind of people you might come across in real life. I've enjoyed the Road to Love series with the colorful women and hot-as-sin men. Mitch and Charlotte were interesting to get to know. For some reason, I didn't love them as much as the others but this is still a very good read. There's a lot of flirting and little actual togetherness for a long time. Charlotte's "brothers" Jack and Brody make sure of that.

I loved how the brothers welcome Mitch into the family. They don't hold their father's sins against him and they don't resent him. They don't even hold his time in prison against him. Ros is the most amazing. Not many women would be so welcoming to their husband's illegitimate son.but Ros came to terms with Elliot's flaws long ago and she's smart enough and loving enough to not hold any of this situation against Mitch.

Mitch recognizes the darkness left by his upbringing and prison but doesn't let it stop him from creating a life for himself. As pleased as he is that his brothers are so welcoming, he's very slow to open up to them. He just doesn't have that skill set. Charlotte is the perfect match for this reticent man.

As with the other books, there's plenty of intense conflict in All Fired Up thanks to Mitch's "step-father" who is violent, nasty and angry.

Foster always delivers a good read and All Fired Up is definitely a book you'll want to read.

“All Fired Up” is the final book in the Road to Love series, however, could also be read as a stand-alone. You do not need to read the rest of the series to understand the story. It was a good book and I would recommend it to family or friends. I received a. ARC of the story from the author and this is my honest review.

This is my favorite books of the series. Mitch came to town to get to know his brothers, he didn't know what to expect and he definitely did not expect Charlotte.

Throughout Mitch's childhood he was abused by his mom's boyfriend who was a drug dealer and a thug. He left young but ended up in prison due to one of his deals. Now Mitch is out and he's ready to settle down, hopefully with his brothers. He's used to being on his own and doesn't expect anything. Especially their take charge attitude. Ros automatically accepts him and starts mothering him.

Charlotte thinks of Jack and Brodie as brothers, but Mitch is a whole other story. She knows from the second that she meets him that he's different and she's feeling something she never has before. Mitch protects her that first night from a drunk guy in the parking lot of the local bar and helps her change her flat tire. Both of their lives changed that night and once Newman is out of the picture it'll be worth the wait.

I didn't really like this series but this book was worth the wait. I throughly enjoyed this book and am glad I had the opportunity to read it. Charlotte is a little naive but Mitch's experiences show he needed that and these two characters blend well together. He has a heartbreaking story but how many kids really experience this same life? A lot. This story brings on the full gambit of emotions and you just hope that Newman gets his.

Thanks to the publisher for an arc to read and give my honest opinion.

Can I just say I love this author? We’ve had Brodie and Jacks story but now it seems time for Charlotte to finally get in on the action. Mitch is an ex con who has completely lost everything but knows he has two brothers (from another mother)and is now wondering if he could find a family with them. His mother died while he was in jail on an overdose and so now with no strings he sets out to see if his brothers want anything to do with him.

What did I like? Mitch was a completely likable character and the fact that he paired well with Charlotte just made everything even out. I enjoyed the animals in the story also carving out a little love for his dog Brute. The author really captures the moment here.

Would I buy this book? Auto buy author and her books are always decently priced which is always a good thing since her stories are so good.

Thoughts for the author? I’m a big fan but I review each book uniquely so it doesn’t factor into my review. Loved the book! Kudos on a success!

All Fired Up is latest book in Lori Foster’s Road to Love series. This book follows Charlotte and Mitch's story. Mitch is an ex convict and is looking for him family. He grew up with an addict for a mother and her drug dealing boyfriend. He arrives in town with his dog and wanting to find his half brothers. Charlotte runs the guys business and is like their kid sister.

I love how Lori Foster writes her previous characters to the new books and they have a secondary role in the next books. So if you want the full experience of this book, I would recommend reading the first two books in the series.

You know “Opposites attract and all that”….YES, all that. This story is all that and everything in between. I couldn’t wait for Charlotte’s story but Ms. Foster was clever enough to know we were not finished with Crews boys so she figured out a perfect trifecta. It is easy to feel the vulnerability, the strength, and the humor in her characters which all make the story realistic and believable. I fell in love with Ros (a secondary character) in the first book and thank you Lori for gifting us with a glimpse of her horizon. I wish I could savor your books but I can’t help but to read them in one sitting.

This was a great read! The opening chapter grabbed my attention and never let go. Charlotte meets Mitch outside Freddie's Bar when he comes to her rescue her from the unwelcomed advances of Bernie. The chemistry and connection between Charlotte and Mitch is immediate and intense for both of them. I really don't want to say too much because part of the joy comes from the unexpected --but you'll get family secrets, a loving and funny family, rescued dogs, a big bad, and a heck of a happily ever after. Enjoy!

This book hit me right in the feels, it was all about family, blood family or not blood family. The family that Ros has already built up in Brodie and Jack is quite amazing. Then how it has grown with the first two books with Ronnie, Mary, and their added on families. Oh, and the pets really are the whole story, I could read all day about the pets. Howler will always be my favorite, but I am thinking as of right now Brute is pulling up a close second. Lori Foster always creates a whole family dynamic that you would want to be instantly adopted into.

Anyone who has read the first two books has of course been waiting for Charlotte’s book. If you haven’t read the first two no worries this can of course be read as a standalone, however I highly suggest reading the first two! Charlotte is quite an amazing character, while she does have a little bit of a tragic background, she was lucky enough to be raised by Ros and have pseudo brother’s in Brodie and Jack. However, with having these larger than life brothers come some consequences. No one can get near her to date her in their tiny little town without getting their lives threatened. I love her fiery spirit, and how organized she is. It’s really sweet to see how much she is alike with Ros even though she’s not blood related. It’s nice getting more insight into her character because I read the first two books but was really interested in getting to know her more. She turned out to be more honest and open than I was expecting.



Mitch was a great character to be introduced to this series. I was really unsure of his motives at first in the book, but you find out really fast that he just wants to let his family know he exists and that’s it. Of course, Ros has different ideas and immediately takes him like he is one of her own. He’s really guarded about his past because he doesn’t think anyone should share that burden which in all honesty is really sweet, but he obviously doesn’t understand this family very well. I love how the brothers warn him off Charlotte at first, but Mitch already was planning on taking it super slow. (because Lori Foster does slow burn romance) He is so much more like Jack and Brodie than he realizes, and I think it’s cute that he thinks he isn’t.



I really couldn’t find fault with this last book in the trilogy, unless there is another one coming I don’t know about 😉 It was a slow burn romance which I love, not to steamy, the women get to stand up for themselves, lots of pets, great male characters, fantastic old cars… what did I miss? I would really recommend these books…

“All Fired Up” concludes Lori Foster’s Road to Love series and features Mitch Crews and Charlotte Parrish.

Mitch comes to Red Oak looking for the family he’s never met, hoping to leave his past behind, and wanting a better future. When he sees Charlotte being bothered by a couple guys, he steps in to rescue her.
Charlotte keeps the office at Mustang Transport running smoothly and is all about taking care of herself, so when Mitch helps her out of a bad situation, she is completely taken in by him and his strength.
When Mitch’s past catches up to him, he has to shift his focus to protecting his family and Charlotte.

“All Fired Up” moves along at a decent pace with the tension between Mitch and Charlotte and Mitch’s past ratcheting up scene by scene.
While I enjoy Ms. Foster’s books, it seems the last book in her series turn out to be my favorite—“Jamie”, “A Perfect Storm”, “Fighting Dirty”, “Fast Burn”, and now “All Fired Up”.

This was book 3 in the Road to Love series. I think Ms. Foster saved the best for last. This is the story of Charlotte who was a secondary character in books 1 and 2.
Books 1 and 2 are about Jack and Brodie Crews and their Mom, Ros. Charlotte is not blood related but has been part of the family for a while. She is treated by Brodie and Jack as a younger sister.
Enter Mitch Crews. He is the bastard son of Mitch Crews and half brother to Jack and Brodie. He has just gotten out of prison. He wants to meet his brothers. Before he meets them, he runs into Charlotte. The attraction between them is instantaneous.
Of course with all of Ms. Foster's books there is the bad guy who brings danger to the story and a great deal of heat.
I loved Mitch and Charlotte's story. I loved that the 2 brothers were totally involved in this story.
I thought the ending wrapped up the series beautifully.
I thank netgalley for the chance to review this book.
5 stars!

Mitch has decided to look up his half brothers. Wanting to find a place to settle down as well as family Mitch wasn’t prepared for what he found. No used to family he soon learns that now he isn’t alone. One look at Charlotte and he knew he found home. So enjoyed getting more from this family and the love they have for each other!!

I received and ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed Mitch and Charlotte's story. This story was amazing and extremely touching!!! I need to go back and read the earlier ones in the series. Great read- would definitely recommend.

I totally love Lori Foster's books. I have read every book she has had published and always eager for more. I just finished book 3 in her newest series Road to Love. I have to say that I loved Mitch and Charlotte in this one. I loved how Mitch was introduced into this story. He definitely won me over from page one. Charlotte has been present thru the whole series and I have wanted her to get a story of her own. The great thing about LF's series is that she has previous characters have a secondary role in the next books. I definitely love the Crews family in this series. They are what family is all about,, being there for each other no matter what.

Wow, Ms. Foster, just wow! Once again you grabbed me from the very first page and kept my rapt attention until the final word. Mitch is the perfect redeemed hero and Charlotte is the calming balm for his soul.

Mitch is an ex convict and is looking for him family. He grew up with an addict for a mother and her drug dealing boyfriend. He arrives in town with his dog and wanting to find his half brothers. Charlotte runs the guys business and is like their kid sister. She has lived with Ros, the guys mother, since her parents were killed. When she is stranded at a bar, with a flat tire, Mitch helps her. He has never met anyone like her but when he finds out she’s sort of related to his brothers, he puts the brakes on his feelings. The more time he spends with her, the more he wants her. But Mitch’s past is about to come to town, can he protect his new family plus accept their help?
Awesome story with action and sexy scenes. A guy who’s never known love and a woman who wants to be loved and live a peaceful life.

I swear just a few sentences into a Lori Foster book and I’m sucked completely in. It’s so hard to put one of her books down and go to work or to sleep. The struggle is insanely real.

I love this series with the brothers and Ros. The unconditional acceptance Ros gives makes you want to give her a hug thru the book and then when Mitch shows up and drops a bombshell she just rolls with it along with everyone else. This is the last book of the series and while I immensely enjoyed the first 2, this one is hands down my favorite. You get the big strong alpha male with a strong female, plenty of romance and suspense with such powerful emotion that you can feel. A true page-turner. A fantastic read that I highly recommend.

Another intriguing and fast paced book. I really enjoyed getting to know the new characters! You get more backstory and an adorable new dog is added to the mix!!

Howler makes more cameos, who doesn't love Howler?!

Growth and happiness abound, with action and drama, and plot twists! I love the Crews Family!

Very engaging read. It's a slow burn with plenty of twists and turns to keep your attention from the beginning to the end. You get to catch up with the rest of the family and meet the missing brother know one new. I especially loved it's the whole package. A beginning, middle and, ending. No rushing. Lots of love, family, humor, and heart. Definitely recommend reading. I received a copy of thus book through netgallery.

I LOVE Mitch Crews! This is book 3 in the Road to Love series. Like all Ms. Foster’s series books, it can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone.
When Brodie and Jack Crews meet up with Mitch in their little town and realize he is their half-brother, they are shocked. They knew their dad Elliot was not faithful to Ros, but they did not know he had another son.
Mitch did not have the advantage of a Rosalyn Crews on his side. His own mother was a drug addict and, even though he never used drugs, she dragged him into that world until he faced prison time. She died before he got out, so he had no reason to stay there.
Mitch has never met his half-brothers Brodie and Jack, nor their mother Ros. He has heard all about them from his dad, who painted them all in glowing terms. When Mitch’s world falls apart and he wants to make a new, clean start, he moves to the little town where his brothers and their wives and mother live.
I could not put this book down. Even though I had to get up for work soon, I had to finish reading it. The story is great, and well worth a sleepy day. I strongly recommend this story.
