All Fired Up (Road to Love book 3 ebook) by Lori Foster ....I want to give this way more than 5 stars... Thanks to Lori, the publisher and #NetGalley for letting me preview this book. Lori always pulls me right into her story and this time is no different... Mitch Crews ( Brodie and Jack are his half brothers..he is a ex-con with a past) Charlotte ( like a sister to Brodie and Jack..) It is so much fun to read more about Brodie and Mary, Jack and Ronnie, Rosalyn(Ros ..mom) Elliot (mostly absent father) and the pets.. and add in Brute. There are lots of laughs, tears, angst, anger, fear, some evil and some good steamy stuff all leading to a wonderful HEA. I can't wait to see what Lori writes next.
Reasons I enjoyed this book:
Funny Steamy Romantic Entertaining Wonderful characters Happily Ever After Easy-to-read Page-turner Great world building Action-packed Tear-jerker Scary

This is the third book in the Road to Love series. In this one we have Charlotte who is like family and Mitch who we find out is actually a half brother. It’s fun to see how the romance progresses against the backdrop of Mitch getting yo know his brothers. There is suspense in the story and the love story is well written. It was fun to see all of the characters interaction and how family no matter how it is formed comes together for each other. This was a great book to wrap up a fun series.
I received a copy of this book and this is my honest review.

I will leave a review on Amazon or B&N on Nov 19, 2019
I received the ARC of All Fired Up from NetGalley and the publisher and this is my fair and honest review.
Wow, is all I can say. I really enjoyed the first two books in this series but for me this one was the best of all three. I loved Mitch and Charlotte as a couple, and the interaction between Mitch and his new found family. I love how important family is in this series, it makes you feel like you are apart of them as you read along I would definitely recommend this book to others.

Many times heroes of romance are larger than life characters. Nothing wrong with that. We all need those characters to fuel our fantasies sometimes. But it takes real talent to make the lives of ordinary people not only interesting but extraordinary. That’s what Lori Foster achieves with her Road to Love series. Especially in her newest, All Fired Up. This series is filled with vivid characters and honest, believable relationships. Men who are good men. Rock solid, honest, down to earth, and formidable. And women who are fearless, proud, and loyal.
Mitch Crews has had a hard life. After spending 5 years in prison, he’s ready to meet the brothers who don’t even know he exists. He’s on the road to making changes in his life. While he knew exactly what he wanted to say and do, he wasn’t ready for the way the entire Crews family would make him feel. The patience, understanding, compassion, and loyalty of this family was something he’d rarely experienced in life. Nor was he ready for Charlotte Parrish. Someone who not only accepted him but saw the best in him. Made him feel like a different person. With her, he was less angry at the world and at himself. More optimistic about the future. Finally, he was starting to know what “home” felt like. But when Mitch’s past comes back to haunt him, threatening his new life and all those he cares about, he learns that family means he doesn’t have to go it alone. Because the Crews are big on family and big on protection.
This series just gets better and better and Mitch is the perfect addition to the Crews family. I liked how his background unfolded gradually as he learned to trust and opened up to his brothers and Charlotte about his past. His jaded background and Charlotte’s innocence seemed like an unlikely pair but I soon realized how perfect they were for one another. Theirs was an instant attraction but the build of the romance was slow, sweet, and sizzling. They were an incredible couple with a relationship so steamy, I could practically feel the heat.
I loved revisiting the Crews family again. They give each other hell but they’re also each other’s biggest support. Each one has their own personality and together they’re hilarious and so much fun to read about. Every page of this story will keep readers riveted with its humorous, heartwarming, emotional and intense story proving that the road to love can have lots of detours but you’ll never be lost if you follow your heart. I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy from NetGalley.

This was the perfect ending to this series.
So many things going on. Shock at finding out about Mitch. Acceptance, it’s just what the Crews family does and not at all what Mitch was expecting. Drama, you can’t get to a HEA without it right? 😁
But the three biggest things are love, loyalty and family. These are the things the Crews family know all about and the things Mitch didn’t know he wanted or needed.
Ms. Foster is an amazing storyteller and I look forward to so much more from her.

I received an electronic ARC from Harlequin through NetGalley.
Third in this series by Foster.
An unexpected brother shows up in town to meet Brodie and Jack. He doesn't expect to meet Charlotte first nor to blurt out his relationship when most of the family arrives at the bar. From there, Foster weaves the characters together and reveals the gamut of emotions felt by all of the characters. Mitch and Charlotte are the third couple to meet in an unexpected moment and move through a courtship rife with problems. The drug dealer involved with his mother is stalking him and wants revenge for imagined slights. This plot weaves through the story along with the developing romance and bonding involved in changing family dynamics.
Foster presents strong female leads and Charlotte is no exception. Hers is a quiet strength and deep care for others. Her hero is a brooding loner who has no concept of family. His background is dark - raised by a drug addicted mother in a drug dealing world. He spent time in prison to protect his mom from consequences. Foster provides insight into this ex-con's thought processes and world.
The conclusion wraps the lose ends for other characters as well as the leads.

I truly was not a fan of this book. I typically read books like this when my brain needs a break (I continue to not be the market for this genre) and they generally fulfill that need while also annoying me. This one annoyed me more for its misogynistic overtones and general weird behavior of all the men involved. Writing was also not great, but maybe some of the issues will be fixed in the final copy. Ah well. Onwards we go.

I was so happy to read Mitch and Charlotte's story! They knew from first sight that there was something between them, and it grew from there. Mitch is happy to find his half brothers, and Ros wishes that he had been brought to her when there was trouble at home. I'm hoping that Ros gets her own story next, it would be a great finish to the series.
This review is based on an ARC from NetGalley, courtesy of the publisher. All opinions are my own.

I wanted to love this book, but just couldn't get into it. In the tradition of matching the reader to the book, this was a mismatch for me, but there will be others who LOVE it!

I wasn't expecting another book in the Road to Love Series. I was pleasantly surprised that Charlotte got her own story. Mitch Crews is an ex-con that is looking for a safe space to get to know his family. Unfortunately, his past is catching up to him and putting his new found loved ones in danger.
Will Charlotte and Mitch's new love withstand the danger? Read this book to find out.

All Fired Up is a great romance. I loved the bad boy aspect of the plot. Lori Foster has delivered another entertaining romance. I highly recommend this book. I received an arc from the publisher and this is my unbiased review.

Now this was a great story! Charlotte, the “little sister” of the family, falls for Mitch, the unknown half-brother. Ros was amazingly wonderful to Mitch, her ex’s other son. The family dynamics were awesome, and the steaminess divine.

All Fired Up by Lori Foster, the third book in her Road to Love series had all the elements I love in a good romantic suspense. Foster sprinkled in a sweet heroine and a hero worthy of redemption. Buckle up because All Fired Up delivered a heartfelt, intense tale that delivered all the feels.
Hands down my favorite of the series, not just because I wanted Charlotte Parrish to get her story, but because Mitch Crews deserved a happily-ever-after and I am a sucker for a hero who doesn’t know he’s worthy.
Full review will post at Caffeinated Reviewer on November 19th. Link provided. It will be shared & cross-promoted.

This was a very well written story with romance and mystery wove into it. It had plenty of action and family drama. You will feel all the feelings from heartbreaking to heartwarming, humor and of course the steamy scenes. I can't wait to read more from this author.

A heartwarming story about an ex-con finding family, love, and peace with himself, All Fired Up is one of Lori Foster’s more tender books. With her signature complex characters blended with suspense, this book has a little of everything. I loved Mitch, our broken hero who is man enough to admit that he wants more for himself. He’s a man who has had very little good in his life, and doesn’t know how to trust that it will last once he finds it.
While this can definitely be read as a standalone, fans of the series will love how this book pulls the series together. The story follows Mitch as he seeks out his half brothers - Brodie and Jack. Recently released from prison, Mitch is alone in life and would love the connection of family, though he doesn’t hold out much hope that his brothers will want anything to do with them. He meets Charlotte first, and there’s an instant connection between the two of them... that throws a wrench in Mitch’s plans once he discovers that she’s his brothers’ employee. It’s bad enough that she’s all kinds of too good for him, but the fact that she’s so important to his brothers means that pursuing more will be complicated. Mitch gets more than he bargained for once he comes clean to his brothers, gaining an instant family and learning that he might just be worthy of that. But trouble from his past resurfaces, putting everything at risk.
This is definitely sweeter than other books I’ve read by Foster, and I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, I loved seeing Mitch grow and having our hero be the one in need of healing. On the other hand, it’s almost too much of a slow burn for me - the romance takes a backseat to the family storyline, and ultimately felt a bit rushed. That’s really the only drawback to the book for me though, and I’m sure anyone who has read the other books in the series will find this to be a completely fulfilling read. The writing itself is great, the characters are likeable, and the depth of emotion makes an impact. Thank you, NetGalley, for providing me with an ARC. I am voluntarily leaving a review of this sweet and tender read.

All Fired Up just might be my favorite of the Road to Love series! I loved Mitch so much. And Charlotte finally got to show everyone how amazing she was. (I'm pretty sure the other characters already knew, but I didn't know!)
There was a lot of strong family ties in this one, but there was also love and romance, and some acute danger to make things more real. And the danger really had me on the edge of my seat for the whole novel!
Foster took two characters who somehow thought they didn't measure up, and when they met each other they realized that the reason why other relationships in their lives didn't work was mostly because those relationships weren't with the right person.
Mitch and Charlotte were both very strong characters - but in very different ways. I loved seeing both of them become more confident in areas where they needed it. And I enjoyed seeing how the other characters from prior novels in the series dealt with everything that was going on.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Romance (U.S. & Canada) and HQN for the advance reader copy, All Fired Up by favorite romance author, Lori Foster, in exchange for an honest review. I read and loved the first 2 novels in this series! This third book, Road to Love, was awesome, too! Lori Foster excels in writing romance novels that combine sizzle, drama, mystery, and thrills compelling the reader to turn the pages and fall in love with her stories and characters. This novel did not disappoint! From the first page, mysterious Mitch lurking in the shadows grabbed my attention and garnered my trust as he defends Charlotte, finds his family, and allows himself to trust in building a life with Jack, Brodie and mom, Ros Crews, even as his past threatens to destroy his new happiness. Foster’s characters are always strong, interesting, empathetic, and authentic which is why Charlotte is one of my favorite characters in the Foster series; she is honest, sympathetic, but also no nonsense (loved her tart mouth with Jack and Brodie) and her interest in Mitch is immediate and undeniable. Fans of Foster and readers of romance novels will not want to miss this totally satisfying read!

I've read book 1 in this series and it's made me hunt down book 2 now because there were hints of the characters lives in this one.
Great story, I was hooked from the beginning. Mitch and Charlotte made a wonderful couple, he might have been bad but it was for all the right reasons and his new family could see that. I enjoyed the slow burn of their relationship it made the ending so worth it.
Lot of other tension in this book, something is going to happen. Someone is out for revenge. Will one of the family be hurt? I was on the edge of my seat. Fantastic read, I highly recommend it.

Very entertaining read, this is the third book in this series. I found that this but has a little slower pace than the others, the story beginning focuses on the relationships between the main characters of all three books, which is necessary for the story to unfold. I enjoyed the banter between all the characters and the underlying suspense with Mitch's past. Great story of what makes a family, blood or not, what bonds hold. Mitch and Charlotte feel a pull from the first and are cute as they find their way to each other. Laughs, attraction, suspense and cute dogs, all make up a good read.

Mitch has come to Red Oak to start over and find family that is not aware he exist. While waiting in the bar he comes across a woman who seems stranded since it looks like she has car issues. As she seems to be waiting and making calls a drunkard comes to harass her and Mitch immediately saves her.. As he suggested fixing her tire her friends/bosses shows up and that's when Mitch realizes these are the brothers who he came looking for. So the story continues of Mitch adjusting to having brothers an adopted type mother Ros(the brothers mother).
In this storyline we also get some adventures in which Mitch's mother boyfriend come looking for revenge against Mitch. Review will be on goodreads and amazon.
