I have really been enjoying this Road to Love series by Lori Foster but I have to say that All Fired Up is my new favorite story of the series. I absolutely love Mitch. His past broke my heart and just like Charlotte, I wanted to give him a great big hug and never let go. And Charlotte was such a sweetheart. Shoot! This whole family is simply amazing. Brodie and Charlotte's interactions made me smile and laugh out loud at times. The humor and camaraderie between the characters were just so fun to read. Add in cute fur babies and I'm hooked. And the sexual chemistry between Mitch and Charlotte was definitely a slow burn but it ignited big time when they finally got together. I loved every minute of their romance. The little bit of danger that was also involved had my heart racing too. When I first read the synopsis and saw that the hero was an ex-con, I wasn't sure how I felt about that or how Lori would write him, but trust me, you need to hear his story and you'll fall in love with him too. Absolutely a must read story. I loved it so much that I've read it twice already.

*I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book*

This book was a fun, exciting, slow burn, and I loved seeing these characters off in such a great way.

Charlotte Parrish lost her parents as a young teenager, and she was taken in by the family she worked for, the Crews. She's become a daughter to Ros, and a sister to Brodie, and Jack Crews. She runs their office like a well-oiled machine, and they couldn't do without her. But, Brodie and Jack (the heroes of books 1, and 2, respectively) are strong, alpha males with an often dangerous job, and she's never wanted a man like that. She wants someone she can truly settle down with, in her small, beloved town. Someone who she won't have to worry might not come home. One night though, car trouble leads her to a very unexpected man, and he may be everything she didn't know she couldn't live without.

Mitch Crews had a rough go at life, with an addict mother, and an absentee dad. When he ended up in prison for 5 years trying to help his mom, via her drug dealer boyfriend, he vows to change his life for good. His dad Elliott Crews was married, and had 2 sons, before Mitch. But, he could never stay in one place for long, or with one woman, so he got involved with Mitch's mom a few years later. Once Mitch is released, he heads out to find his half brothers, looking for a real family for the first time in his life. He never expects the reaction he gets from them, and he certainly never expected Charlotte. He knows she's too good for him, but he's not sure he can walk away from her.

Mitch and Charlotte had chemistry like whoa, and I loved their flirty banter. This story was a lot slower burn than many by this author, but I found it very believable since Charlotte was a virgin, and Mitch wasn't sure he deserved to get involved with her. There was a TON of buildup and steamy innuendo between them, but nothing physical happened until quite far into the story. Of course, Brodie and Jack didn't help with the delay, as they wanted to make sure Mitch was sticking around before he really pursued her. Due to the slow pace, neither of them were ever quite sure where they stood with the other, so there was a lot of longing, which was fun.

The suspense plot here was related to Mitch's mom's horrible boyfriend, and it pulled me in and kept me entertained and on the edge of my seat most of the story. He was truly awful, and seeing things from his POV occasionally was interesting. I feel it helped you really understand how terrible he was, so you wanted him to pay just as much as Mitch did.

The side characters here were mostly all from the 2 prior books, which I adored. Brodie and Jack, and their wives, are awesome, and Ros, their mom is THE BEST. She was so maternal, and loving, and understanding, and compassionate. She really took Mitch into her heart from the beginning, and having never had a real maternal figure in his life, due to his own mother's failures, he's confused by it at first. But he comes to love them all so much, especially Ros, with her constant care and attention. Charlotte helped to make him feel part of the family too, since she knows what it's like to be taken in by this amazing family, as one of their own. I loved watching him learn to accept their love and affection (especially when they butted in with their opinions).

I really loved this story, and I think it was my favorite of the 3 books. I adored this family so much, and finally getting a little more understanding of the father Elliott was great too. He really grew on me, much more than I expected. I love this author's voice, and her heroes are always so great. Mitch was a total dreamboat, and Charlotte was a kindhearted delight. I gladly recommend this book, and the entire series. I will anxiously await whatever comes next from this author, who is consistently one of my favorites.

I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review. Mitch has heard lots of stories about his half brothers from his dad. After getting out of prison he wants to put down roots and decides to look up his brothers. Along the way he meets beautiful Charlotte, who is like family to his half brothers. While developing a relationship with Charlotte and his brothers he also has to deal with a not so nice blast from the past,Newman,who was his mother’s boyfriend/dealer. This was a nice soft romance and easy read and it is the third book in the series, but you do not need to read the others to understand this book. I also loved Mitch’s dog! 4.5 stars

A wonderful conclusion (?) to this series. I loved Mitch and Charlotte is his perfect counterpart. Reading the book and following him on his journey to a new family is a complete delight. I love the action and the dogs are amazing.
I see a re-read of the rest of the series in my future.
TW there is description of cruelty against animals that made me cry

All Fired Up is now my all time favorite book. Lori Foster continues to be my favorite writer. You are hooked from page 1. This series is one of the best ever. Reading Charlotte and Mitch's story is fantastic and reading more about Brodie and Mary, Jack and Ronnie, and of course Ros. The family bond is strong. Love the teasing and love for each other. This is a definite MUST READ.

Mitch Crew’s father Elliot had told him stories about Elliot’s two sons and their mother Ros. Elliot has been in and out of Mitch’s life, mostly out, so when Mitch gets out of prison he decides he wants to meet his two half-brothers, the only family he has besides his father. But he feels he has so much baggage that they won’t want to have a bastard ex-con in their lives.
This is the third book in the Road to Love series. The first two books focused on the brothers Brodie and Jack, along with their mother Ros and Charlotte, who is like a little sister. Everyone is caught off balance when Mitch shows up but with just one look Ros knows Mitch is Elliot’s son. Mitch has never had anyone who really was there for him growing up and he is totally unprepared for the Crew family, for their love and acceptance but also their strong, outspoken personalities. It was fun watching Brodie and Charlotte go at each other, just like a brother and sister, and Mitch not understanding the banter.
While Brodie and Mary seemed liked opposites, and Jack and Ronnie seemed like an odd couple, Mitch and Charlotte are perfectly balanced. I had so much fun watching these two tip-toe around each other, neither confident enough to really make their feelings known. Plus, Mitch comes with his own dog, Brute because, really, all the Crew men have dog.
I received an advanced readers copy through NetGalley and this is my honest review.

Each book in the series is getting better and better.
Mitch, after five yeas in prison wants one thing, to find his stepbrothers, he never thought he find love too. But his past is on his front porch, can he save those who he loves?
Charlotte never had luck in love, maybe meeting Mitch will change things for better?
Great book, awesome storyline and characters.

Mitch is the third Crews brother and probably my favorite. I fell In love with Mitch as fast as he fell in love with Charlotte. As always Lori Foster gave me
drama, hot chemistry and a laugh or two.
I couldn’t read this book fast enough then was sad when it ended. Such an enjoyable series. Thank You Lori for always writing characters that I instantly Fall in love with. I received an ARC for my honest review.

I loved this latest book in Lori Foster’s Road to Love series, I have to say that All Fired Up is my favorite of the this series. Something about Mitch just drew me in. I actually really appreciated how honest he was right from the beginning on who he was and his history. There weren’t a lot of secrets that would cause problems in the future. Don’t get me wrong, Mitch has some baggage that he did not want to involve this family in, and this definitely causes some frustrations with his new found protective older brothers and Charlotte. But the sense of family is so strong that Mitch had no choice but to surrender and be accepted into the Crews family.

The love story between Mitch and Charlotte is on the slow burn side, especially with promises that Mitch made, but the chemistry was definitely there and was intense. Things definitely heat up once they finally get together. I loved how both Brodie and Jack was so protective over Charlotte, especially with her lack of experience with men. The banter between Brodie and Charlotte was hilarious.

Drama definitely unfolds when someone from Mitch’s past appears and places his family in danger. I loved how everyone, including the bada$$ Ronnie with her knife, rallies around him to try to keep everyone safe.

And once again, this author introduced us to the best four-legged character ever! It broke my heart to see the fear of poor Brute, but then to see how the Crews family, especially Howler, were able to give him joy and a safe place was just awesome!

All Fired Up was a fantastic addition to this series and I highly recommend it.

I received an ARC of All Fired Up from NetGalley, and this is my honest review.

Thank god I feel like I got something that I enjoyed after my last two books. This was a brother that no one knew about Mitch. Mitch story pretty much breaks your heart he did not have it easy, but even though he had a hard life he did not turn out as a jerk, lesson for all and he finally get a chance to have the family that he never had and the acceptance that he deserves and a chance at happiness and love with Charlotte. This is the third book in the series and I hope you started from the beginning you kind of need to to know who is who and because you do not want to miss out on a whole lot of deliciousness in the form of Brody and Jack. We have some danger who has been following Mitch but his family does not let him go it alone..Grab a copy and Enjoy!

I loved Mitch and Charlotte’s story! It’s my favorite in the Road to Love series. There wasn’t anything that I didn’t like about this book. I loved Charlotte’s innocence and her love of family. I loved the way the rest of the family rallied around Mitch, especially since his expectations were so much different. I loved that even though Mitch had a very rough start in life, he was a very honorable and stand up guy. As with the previous books, animals, especially dogs, play an important part in their lives.

This book was amazing. I already loved the Crews brothers and their families, however with the addition of Mitch it just made them that much more relatable. Mitch was alone and wary of people, he had a tough childhood and his adult life was not going the way he wanted. He had decided to turn his life around and meeting his brothers Brodie and Jack was a step in the right direction. The brothers were great however Charlotte was the reason he stayed. Watching Mitch open up and start letting people in and help him was so emotional. This is a great story and you get to be involved with the previous book characters you have met and loved.

In “All Fired Up” (Road to Love #3) by Lori Foster we are brought back into the lives of the Crews family. This time Brodie and Jack get a surprise visit from a family member that they did not know existed. Mitch has had a hard life and is now looking to find a place to call home and some stability. He is not prepared for the reception he receives nor his attraction to Charlotte. But being an ex-con, he does come with some baggage that not only threatens his new found family but his resolve to be the person Charlotte deserves.

We are treated to a lot of Brodie and Jack and of course there is some Howler thrown in (who knew what the mention of an orange highlighter could lead to). The banter is fun and Charlotte (and Ros) give as good as they get.

I received a copy of this book through Net Galley and this is my honest review.

I thought I loved the first two books/brothers in this series and that was it for me…but I was SO wrong. Mitch Crews grabbed my heart, soul, and everything else from the very first pages. Don’t get me wrong – I loved his brothers’ stories AND Brodie and Jack – but Mitch? He is my new fave. Just sayin’. All Fired Up is the third book in the Road To Love series. Sure, you could read it as a standalone however the entire family shows up in Mitch’s story AND the other two are fantastic reads. I love that I know the characters and their stories.

I won’t retell the plot however I will tell you what I loved about Mitch’s story. Mitch comes to town to meet his two half-brothers – Brodie and Jack. The first person he runs into, though, is their pseudo-sister, Charlotte. Right from the start, Mitch’s and Charlotte’s chemistry is off the charts and sets up the funniest “brother” thing that I have ever read. Poor Mitch. He has two alpha “big” half-brothers who are very protective of Charlotte so he doesn’t know if his intense feelings for her are icky (because she is like a sister to them) or totally hawt. It’s pretty funny. And of course, Brodie and Jack, being themselves AND big brothers, well, they play it to the hilt. Love that.

Mitch and Charlotte (we met Charlotte in the previous books) are perfect for one another. She is a bit young in the experience department but she can hold her own with all three brothers. Their relationship is so touching and warm…Mitch has so much to learn about trust and true feelings. Good thing Charlotte is there to help nudge him along, especially with his new nosy/buttinsky family.

There’s so much in this book: Mitch’s character unfolding, the family’s reaction to him, the family dynamics, and bad guys. Gotta have bad guys. The action got my heart pumping and made it so I had to read the last part of the book in one sitting, the next day, so that I wouldn’t think about it all night long. Great read, wonderful characters (LOVE those Crews boys!), and a really touching story. It was fun to visit with the “wives” again, and Brodie’s and Jack’s momma, Ros. There is a lot of action and intrigue and drama and sexy and a growing love to keep you reading until you are thru. I highly recommend this book and the series. Amazing!

Mitch survived a terrible childhood and when he gets out of prison all he wants to do is locate his family. Raised by a drug addict mom who didn't protect him and her abusive boyfriend, he knows he has half-brothers out there and wants to meet them. He's not looking for anything, but he finds a family and love.

Charlotte works for his family and has been living with them since her parents died. She never expected to be attracted to a man like Mitch but he's all she can think about. Mitch doesn't think he's good enough for her since he went to prison but Charlotte and his family help him realize his worth. Loved it!

I loved this book!! Mitch has grown beyond his terrible childhood & prison sentence. He finally feels safe so he tries to search out his father’s “other” family. While scoping out the situation, he meets Charlotte, a close friend of his half-brother’s. As Mitch is getting closer to Charlotte & his half-brothers, his past is inching closer. What will Mitch do when danger comes to those he’s beginning to care for?

I really enjoyed the strong, capable women in this book & the way they stood beside their men, rather than behind them. Mitch began to realize these women didn’t need taken care of, can stand up for those they cared about & did stand up for him. The best thing for me was how emotional this story was & how the “family” opened their arms & accepted Mitch fully. The complete truth eventually comes out & it isn’t always the easy look at a situation. This was another terrific story by Ms. Foster.

I usually like Lori Foster but this trilogy was not so good, even if this last book is in my opinion the best of the three. Maybe I am just not so much on the right mood....

Di solito Lori Foster mi piace, ma questa trilogia non era proprio niente di che, anche se questo ultimo libro é decisamente il migliore della serie. Forse sono solo io che non sono dell'umore giusto....

THANKS NETGALLEY FOR THE PREVIEW!

"I started reading this book in the evening and couldn't stop. I was up until 2:00 A.M. reading and had to be up at 4:45 A.M. to get my husband off to work, but I didn't want to go to bed without finishing the story since I knew I wouldn't sleep wondering what happened. It was worth it!! Mitch has to be one of my very favorite heroes. WOW! I honestly hated coming to the end of the story!! This book grabbed ahold of my heart and had me feeling so many emotions. I cried, laughed, got angry, swooned, and felt so invested in the story. This is Lori Foster's best book yet!" I'd give it 10 stars if I could!

This is Charlotte and Mitch book, Charlotte always wanted a certain kind of guy a responsible , boring settled type of guy. Never a bad boy! But when her car leaves her stranded a mysterious stranger with brooding eyes and a protective streak and all kinds of a bad boy comes to her rescue! She’s not sure why but she’s strangely drawn to him! Mitch is trying to find his half brothers and in doing so he comes across the beautiful Charlotte! She sweet kind hearted and sexier than she knows! And way too good for an ex-con like him! These two together have some serious chemistry, but when Mitch‘s past collides with his future he’s worried he’s putting his new family and Charlotte right in the crosshairs of his evil past! This book was awesome! I really enjoyed reading this one! It was exciting had a little steam to it lots of action and just an all-around great book! I definitely recommend reading this one! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
