Another must read from Lori Foster! You immediately fall in love with Mitch & Charlotte. You not only feel their pain and sadness as they struggle for answers but also their joy, hope and longing for family. I love this family's dynamics where you find yourself laughing out loud at moments, or on edge waiting for justice or just having an ahhh moment. I highly recommend reading All Fired Up as it covers it all!

I absolutely love Mitch and Charlotte!!! Actually I loved their whole family! Mitch wasn't looking for love, he was just looking to maybe know Jack and Brodie and maybe their mom Rosalyn. He didn't count on Charlotte at all.

He felt something for her when he first saw her but he didn't think he was good enough. Loved the slow burn between these two. Loved seeing how Mitch's family went at his pace but pushed him enough to open up more and more. I love how they all stick together no matter what.

I love watching Mitch and Charlotte together. She soothes him and he excites her. Jack and Brodie may be overprotective when it comes to her but will they see that Mitch is the man that she needs? Will Mitch's past destroy his future though?

I loved this whole series!!

I didn't read the other books in the series but ALL FIRED UP is great even as a standalone. Lori Foster made me fall in love with Mitch from the beginning. I loved his and Charlotte's story. What resonated with me was the strength of family and love and acceptance.
I really enjoyed this and hope to read the other books in the series.
Thank you Netgalley.

Charlotte Parrish has always been the good girl. After the loss of her parents she became a part of the Crews family. Having annoying big brothers in Brodie and Jack helped her to stay grounded. And the love from Ros helped heal her in the way only a mother can. And Charlotte can certainly fend for herself when necessary, but she's pleasantly surprised when a stranger comes to her rescue. And the shock keeps coming when it's revealed that her sexy rescuer is Brodie and Jack's half brother.

Mitch Crews ulis trying to get his life back on track. After being released from prison he's determined to leave behind the past and create a peaceful life for himself. He wants to put down roots and what better place than in the town where his brothers are. He's known about them his whole life and didn't expect the overwhelming welcome he has received and Charlotte was a complete surprise. Mitch is drawn to her in a way he's never felt for a women. And when danger from his past comes for him, Mitch is prepared to face it alone to protect those he's coming to care for. Little does he know, that's not how family works.

I really like this series and am so glad that Charlotte got her HEA. Mitch came to town to connect with his brothers and instead found Charlotte. There was an instant connection, but there is so much about his life that she doesn't know and he isn't sure how his family will react. He is trying to live a good life and comes to realize he wants Charlotte there with him. His family is very accepting, but when his past comes to call, he isn't sure he wants to endanger them. Will they let him go?

ALL FIRED UP is probably the best one I have read of this series. Here, Mitch has gotten out of prison and come to town. He meets Charlotte at a bar and is immediately attracted to her. He helps to rescue her from some aggressive drunks. It turns out that he is in town to meet the half-brothers he had heard so much about- the very men that Charlotte works with and whose family she has been figuratively adopted into.

As they unravel the past and explore their family connections, Charlotte and Mitch find that they have a lot of potential as a couple. At the same time, things from Mitch's past catch up to him and add a good amount of suspense to the story.

This is a solid read with plenty of steamy romance and a heavy dose of what it means to be a family. The book has some elements of not only drama but also suspense. I really loved seeing Charlotte's story and learning more about her- she was intriguing character in previous books, and this brings it all together nicely. Would recommend for fans of the earlier books and fast-paced romantic suspense.

Please note that I received a review copy from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

All Fired Up, by Lori Foster is the third book in the Road to Love Series. This book follows Mitch, who is an ex-con and Charlotte who works at the local transportation business in town. Mitch has just come in to town to take care of some family business and immediately runs into Charlotte. Sparks fly and you are obviously rooting for these two to get together, but that's exactly when the story becomes complicated.

Mitch has known that he's had half brothers for years and is finally on the move to meet them and show himself to them. Unbeknownst to Mitch, Charlotte has known the brothers for years and is like a sister to them. Mitch would love nothing more than to get to know Charlotte better, but the last thing he wants is to taint her with his grimy past. A past that is catching up to him all too soon.

I really liked the chemistry between Mitch and Charlotte. They were so sweet around each other and were trying to get to know one another even with everyone constantly interfering in their life. Getting them together was driving me a bit crazy. I kept on wanting these two people who were so attracted to one another finally get some alone time, but there was a constant line of interruptions. I realize that Mitch being an ex-con makes him a very complex man, but I didn't like the way he kept on wanting Charlotte and pursuing her one minute and then backing away the next. I loved Charlotte's character! She had a great backbone and stood up to anyone that thought she needed coddling and I loved it when she showed some sass to Mitch too!

Overall I enjoyed this book and I'm looking forward to reading more from Lori Foster. I had not read the previous books in the Road to Love Series, but I read this book as a standalone and didn't have any problem following along with the characters.

I was provided with an ARC of this title from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Mitch is looking for a place to settle. A place that he can establish a support network and make a life for himself. He grew up with a parent completely consumed by her drug addiction, and trying to save her caused him heartache and remorse.

Charlotte is drawn to the enigmatic man who fixes her tire in the parking lot. He's intense, insanely good-looking, and acts the role of knight in shining armor with quiet confidence.

Mitch's past has followed him and wants to extract vengeance. He must learn to depend on his new family, trust in his feelings, and hold onto the harsh lessons of his childhood as the foundation for the strong, capable man he has become.

The best of the series in my opinion! The author redeemed herself with this book, with great characters, a wonderful story, and memorable interactions.

You couldn't help but root for Mitch and Charlotte. They each had issues from their past to overcome, and took time to become friends before lovers. It was great to see the small town mentality of " all for one and one for all " come through in the end to save the women, Elliot, and Grant along with the dogs from the attack.

I received a free ARC eBook from Net Galley and the publisher for my honest opinions.

Wow, I love Lori's books, and this one doesn't disappoint. Just enough to keep you somewhat on the edge of your seat, and not able to put the book down! 5 stars for this one!
Meet Mitch, he's in town looking for his half brothers, when he stumbles across a lady in need, Charlotte, or so he thinks. And what luck he has because she works for his half brothers, and they arrive on scene to help her out, all of them unaware Mitch is their fathers son from another woman.
Read along and see how these two connect, and how Mitch deals with his new found family!
Grab this one asap!

First, I want to thank Lori Foster, Harlequin, and NetGalley for providing me with this book so I may bring you this review.

Right from the very start of All Fired Up by Lori Foster she shows you that Mitch oozes sex appeal. Not only that but she has an incredible eye for detail when describing a person physically.

Kudos to the graphic designer on the cover! Mitch looks very handsome!

In many aspects the majority of the theme of the book revolves around family.

This book will pull on your heart strings when you read about what Mitch sacrificed for his mother to protect her. Only in the long run that she passed away without letting him say goodbye.

If you are a fan of dogs you will enjoy this book.

I loved the relationship progression between the two characters Mitch and Charlotte throughout the book.

Charlotte Parrish has always wanted a certain kind of man: someone responsible, settled, boring. Bad boys need not apply. But when her car leaves her stranded and a mysterious stranger with brooding eyes and a protective streak comes to her rescue, she can’t deny how drawn she is to him. In town searching for family he’s never met, Mitch is everything she never thought she wanted—and suddenly everything she craves.

Finding his half brothers after all these years is more than Mitch Crews has allowed himself to wish for. Finding love never even crossed his mind…until he meets Charlotte. She’s sweet, warmhearted, sexier than she knows—and too damn good for an ex-con like him. But when his past comes back to haunt him, putting Charlotte—and the family he’s come to care for—in danger, Mitch isn’t playing by the rules. He’s already surrendered his heart, but now he’ll risk his life.- Goodreads

For warning is is book three to the Road to Love series. Prior to reading this book, I did not read the other two and it isn't exactly needed to get into this one. You may be curious about the other characters and how they found love but it isn't exactly talked about within this novel although mentioned. 

But getting to this book... it was the longest book about sexual tension I have ever read in my life. From the literal moment, Charlotte and Mitch see each other, they want it. However, they play the biggest game of should I? Shouldn't I? for way too long that is fairly unexpected and uncalled for, for adults. It was literally about time when it happened and Mitch is an idiot (I will just leave it at that). 

I thought the book was alright. It went fairly straight to the point (expect for the sex). My thing was it implied, not even implied, stated that Mitch was a bad boy. Not even close. He got caught into something and it messed up his life. He isn't a bad boy by any means. Being a ex-con does not mean you are a bad boy and that is a hill I shall always stand on. The author wanted to give him an edge but this wasn't it. 

However, I liked Mitch. I genuinely liked him better than Charlotte, who was clingy and acted desperate in my eyes. He had a natural warmth about him that you just felt comfortable around. 

The book relied too heavily on the sexual tension between Mitch and Charlotte. Even the part about Mitch risking his life and his past was rushed and glossed over. It didn't build the tension. Mitch wasn't exactly scared of his past coming until it actually came and then he was like oh yeah wasn't expecting that. 

There wasn't a whole lot of character development because he didn't really have to fight or prove anything. It was handed to him and this goes back to the author using sexual tension as a clutch for the novel.

Overall, it was okay.

Lori Foster is able to blend a cast of characters that are like and lovable. Everyone from the first two books are back and ready for what is coming at them. The story is able how family not matter if you are blood or not you are loved, protected and never alone.

Charlotte is feisty, funny, and the sister all brother should have. Mitch is the brother who desire family but doesn't feel worthy of that unexpected love.

The story has it slow moment and a lot of inner dialogue that slows down the story.

The characters are fun, humors and stay true to the series that Lori Foster created.

All Fired UP can be read as a stand alone novel as the author gets reader caught up quickly without taking away from the main story.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of Lori Foster All Fried Up.

So good! I really enjoyed this book! Lori knows how to get you hooked, that's for sure. It was fast paced and entertaining. I loved the h/h are awesome! They are perfect together and their chemistry was off the charts. This book was a lot of fun. I highly recommend it!

Love conquers all in a Lori Foster book and ALL FIRED UP is an outstanding look at life and the many facets of love and acceptance. This new offering of the Road to Love series is an amazing read. Readers will be laughing out loud at the many humorous moments between the brothers, between Ros and their father Elliot, but will also give out a few sighs at the other emotional plays that are there for them to enjoy.

The characters are amazingly realistic with all the foibles that all of us have. There are many times as a reader follows along with this story that we can stop and think ... wow, I know someone who would do exactly that. The heart of ALL FIRED UP is centered around family, not just those by blood, but those chose,n and this gives Ms. Foster's readers the warm fuzzies that we read romance for.

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

All Fired Up, by Lori Foster, will be available at booksellers on 11-19-19. Book 3 in the Road To Love series we've come to the last Crews brother. I've come in here, at #3, and now I absolutely must read books 1 and 2. Ms Foster gets a rare, for me, 5 stars. I've had my nose in this book, to the disregard of almost everything else, for 2 days. I became invested in the characters and intrigued by the story. Ms Foster has woven several emotional and physical situations together to form a terrific story. Loved the journey it took me on.

Mitch is the illegitimate son of Elliott Crews. His childhood was a nightmare he's determined to move past. He's a complicated man. His experiences have left him always expecting trouble, for the other shoe to drop, to count on only himself. Looking up his half brothers is a kind of mission in this quest for a new life. He's so determined to become a better man I think he doesn't realize he's there. He's taught himself not to want, that it's a waste of time & energy. I liked his progression as this crazy, wonderful family takes him into their midst.

Charlotte Parrish is a unicorn, a grown woman virgin. I found it hard to believe she was never interested enough in a guy to go there. She's a dream girl for Mitch, pretty, nice, forgiving, innocent. I felt her character was there to show Mitch how life could be, what he'd wanted but never expected. Her character isn't as deep as Mitch but she's not supposed to be.

I liked the Crews family, I liked all the action & suspense. The romance was lovely to see unfolding. Happy reading.

This has been my favorite book so far in this series. Mitch needs a lot of help but he's so use to relying on himself that it will take a great woman and new family to help him. Charlotte is a firecracker! She knows exactly what Mitch needs even when he doesn't. I love how the Crews family comes together and loves Mitch right away. Ros is a force to be reckoned with and I would love to have her as my mother. If you have read any of the other books in this series you will love this one too. If you haven't you will still love this one as you can read it as a stand alone.



*I received a free copy of this book via NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.*

While I love Lori Foster and her writing, at timed her heroes can be a little too alpha for me. I like the strong, silent type but I like to see a little but of vulnerability too. In All Fired Up, Mitch is the perfect hero. An Ex-con who decides to check out his step-brothers, Mitch has a chip on his shoulder but is wanting to start a new life. While he had heard all about his step-brothers and their mother, they had no idea that their father had a bastard out there. When tehy finally meet, rather that the disgust and anger Mitch expected, his step family welcomed him with open arms and forced his to admit to being family.
Of course, things can't always go smoothly so there is danger following Mitch. His mother's drug dealing boyfriend is out to get him and will happily take his new family down too.
The relationships between the brothers, their mother, their almost sister, Charlotte, and Mitch is wonderful to see grow and thrive. Just as nice is seeing their dogs become friends.
If you like a strong, damaged hero who can be healed by love this is the book for you.
I received an advanced copy of this book.

My first read in this series. Enjoyed the story. The Mitch and Charlotte meet on dark road with a rescue and the drama escalates from there. The bad guys are truly despicable, so there is romance, drama, adventure, family mishaps and the requisite HEA. Add this to your TBR list. Worth the time spent.

4 1/2 stars.
This is definitely my favorite book from this series! From the story to the characters. I love Mitch & Charlotte and am so glad Charlotte got her own HEA and that Mitch is finally getting it all. I love the journey his character has obviously been through that led him to where he is now. Charlotte never thought she could love a man like Mitch but theirs was an undeniable love. Love the romantic suspense aspect to this heartwarming love story. I really enjoyed it!
