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.

All Fired Up starts when Mitch arrives in town, planning to introduce himself to the half brothers who are unaware of his existence. Instead, he runs into (and helps rescue) Charlotte, who has been raised almost as a sister to Mitch's two half brothers, and suddenly finds himself part of a family that he isn't sure he wants.
The thing I liked most about this book is the way it subverted my expectations at the start. Both the half brothers and their mother instantly adopt Mitch and bring him into the family, and Mitch just doesn't know what to do with that. Mitch has recently gotten out of jail for a crime he committed to protect his mother from his abusive stepfather, and he is fully accepting distrust and rejection and doesn't really know how to handle all this immediate affection and intimacy. And, even though the brothers are very protective of Charlotte, they are pretty comfortable with the idea of Mitch dating her, so long as he takes it slowly. There's none of the expected masculine posturing about staying away from our little sister, so that was nice. Charlotte herself is sweet and kind and innocent, and perhaps a little lacking in complexity, but nonetheless a pleasant person to read about.
And then about halfway through the book, Mitch's abusive stepfather comes back into the story, set on revenge, and basically determined to be as vile as possible.
I'll be honest, I wasn't that taken with this part of the story. Mitch's stepfather's sordid and violent plans felt out of place in this otherwise gentle novel, and he was very much a one-note, how terrible-can-we-make-this-person villain.
Other than that, it was a very pleasant, kind sort of story, and I enjoyed reading it.

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.

Mitch is an ex-con, he comes to town with his adorable dog to start fresh, to meet the Crew brothers, to lay down roots and make connections. He finds Charlotte, and a whole lot more than he ever expected.

Charlotte is the beloved adopted sister of the Crews family, equal parts sweet and feisty she wants Mitch from the moment he steps from the shadows to protect her.

This story has so much goodness. It's a feel good romance for a boy who grew up in hard circumstances, ran on hard times but stayed true to his inner moral compass and reaps the bounty when he reaches out to unknown family. The Crews brothers may have had a wayward father but they are all good men and the woman in their life are the gooey good center. Trouble may try and chase Mitch down but nothing with family like the Crews how could evil win?

Reading this was like cuddling up by the fire, with a warm fuzzy blanket in the arms of someone you love, nothing better.

I'm truly thankful I am part of the review team, I am tickled I was able to leave this review.

From the very first chapter I was so intrigued by this book. Kept be on the edge of my seat the whole time. When Mitch comes into town and helps Charlotte with a stranded car and keeping her safe. Every chapter just got more and more intense. Mitch came looking for family and got a whole lot more. Not wanting people to know about his childhood and past was just something he had to learn to be able to talk about. But as he found out family is everything and you have to learn to let them in so you can move on. Could not wait for each chapter. Could not put this book down. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who likes thrillers right to the very end of the book. I just love books written by Lori Foster.

Charlotte’s story is just what I wanted it to be. That Lori introduced a new member of the Crew family just made it perfect. Mitch Crew was the kind of handsome, mysterious man that anyone of us romance gals could fall for. Charlotte was no exception. Mitch only had eyes for Charlotte and made their romance swoonable. Finding out he is half brother to the Crews boys, their romance could be on perilous ground. Mitch has a lot to learn about family and this story brings with it learning to love and acceptance of family.
Lori brings us what we have come to expect in her books, humor, sexy romance, mystery, and pure enjoyment.

*I was provided an arc by author & Netgalley for an honest review.* This is the third book in Lori Foster’s “Road to Love” series & I loved it even more than the first two books! I seriously want to be a part of the Crews family!! This is the story of Mitch Crews (illegitimate son of Elliott) & Charlotte Parrish. Mitch comes to town with his adorable & formerly abused dog Brute to get to know his brothers. He meets Charlotte first then Ros, Jack & Brodie. They accept him into the family immediately & while he’s trying to adjust his Mother’s old boyfriend comes to cause trouble. While he & Charlotte are falling in love the family bands together, including Elliott to fight his enemy. This book is amazing! It has a wonderful sense of family & all the feels. You already loved Charlotte from the other books & will love Mitch too! We also can’t forget the adorable rescue pets (Howler, Buster, Peanut & Brute)🐾. I’m hoping Ros & Elliott get their book & maybe Grant too even though he’s not a Crews. I would also love to try Charlotte’s white chocolate cake! This book is a must read!!

I love Lori Foster but somehow fell behind on reading this series from her. I am so glad I picked this one up and loved it! I definitely need to go back and read the first two books because I loved both Brodie and Jack in this one. Honestly, I have to say I loved all the characters in this book. Mitch stole my heart, Charlotte was charming and you just have to love Jack and Brodie's mom.

It was a pleasure watching Charlotte's and Mitch's relationship develop as he learns to adjust to having a new family and how to trust others to have his back. There are great moments of tenderness, laughter and sizzling chemistry. Not to mention some utterly adorable dogs that I wish I could meet in person.

This book will totally suck you in and keep you glued to the pages until the very end.

This book has it all! Lori Foster definitely delivers the romance, suspense and the ultimate finale to her Road To Love series. I am beyond thrilled with Mitch's story. He and Charlotte's chemistry is off the charts. I couldn't put it down. I loved being able to catch up with Brodie and Jack, their wives, and Roz.. And how fun that Howler, Peanut and Buster were joined by a new friend.

This is one book you can't miss! It's so well written and it truly grabs your hearts.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy from Netgalley and this is my honest review.

This is the third book in the Road to Love Series. I was so excited to read it. 


This is Charlotte Parish's story she always wanted a certain kind of man someone who is responsible, settled and boring. She is not interested in bad boys. When her car breaks down a handsome stranger comes to her rescue. She can't ignore how she drawn she is to him. He is in town searching for family he has never met and he is everything she never knew she wanted. 


Finding his half brothers after years is more then Mitch Crews could ever hope for. Finding love was something he never expected until he meets Charlotte. She's  sweet, warm hearted , and sexy. She is way too good for an ex-con like him. When Mitch's past comes back and brings danger to his new found family and Charlotte he won't play by the rules. He has given up his heart now he is willing to risk his life. 


I loved this story so much it is defintly a unique series with unique characters who you come to love. Lori Foster knows how to weave a tale of love, family, and danger that draws you in and you can't put down until you finish it. You have to know what happens. I highly reccomend this story I give it 5 stars. I love this whole series I have read all the books multiple times already.  I definitely will be recommending this book to my friends and family. 


I I receieved an ARC of this book and here is my honest review.

A Romance full of surprises!💚💙
A fantastically fast paced read with a slow burning romance. This was intriguing right from the start with so much revealed, I dropped my jaw a few times.
I loved the characters, open, honest and real. Charlotte was not your badass heroine, but what she did have was compassion and fierce protective instincts. Mitch was a lot tougher, but deep down he was an honorable and caring man, who'd had the luck of the hesperus, that is, until he met the Crews family. Family is everything!
There's drama, suspense, action all here, with a lot of anticipation to keep you flipping pages, along with a bit of happy heat.
The furbabies, especially Brute, Mitch's dog, played a huge part in here and I loved it all.
This is a stand alone with it's own HEA. I would, however, suggest reading books 1 and 2 in this series because they are that good, but will also add to the depth of feelings in this book.
The whole Crews family is included throughout and now brings up another scenario that I would love Ms. Foster to write into this series.
I received an ARC from the author thru Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving my honest thoughts and opinions

I have read all the previous books in this series - and I did enjoy them all. This story, however, was amazing!!! Absolutely amazing!!!
Mitch and Charlotte were great characters who had excellent chemistry! Charlotte especially captured my heart.
The way these characters came together to make a family.... a united front, was well thought out/planned and well received by me. I wish I could be Charlotte. :)
I also loved seeing the characters from he previous books.

I highly recommend this story!
