When you don't want a bad boy, but he ends up finding you...all bets are off :) I've enjoyed the characters in this series and while you don't need to read the others, the characters are so great, you'll probably want to read their stories too :)

Can I just say how much I really like Lori Foster's writing? Her characters are believable, the plot is always something that I can buy into wholeheartedly, and her books are just plain fun. Thank you for writing such a fun novel. I sure hope that you're going to keep writing about this little town as I'd love to see Grant have a happy ending!

This is, without a doubt, my favorite book in the series! Mitch Crews hasn’t had an easy life, his mother was an addict and only cared for her next fix. Mitch was also a last thought to her, if she even thought of him at all. When Mitch is finally free of past, he seeks out his half brothers, hoping he can find his place with them. Instead he meets Charlotte who has a flat tire one night and his protective instincts soar high along with some sizzling attraction. Mitch knows someone like Charlotte is way too good for him but he can’t seem to stay away. When he learns she is connected to his brothers, he feels conflicted and decides to listen to them and backs off to give himself and Charlotte time to adjust to their rapid courtship. Charlotte doesn’t want slow, she isn’t used to guys paying her any sort of attention and the ones that do are run off by the Crews brothers. When Mitch’s past comes back to threaten everyone Mitch has come to love, he feels like he needs to take on the threat alone but Charlotte and the Crews boys won’t let Mitch retreat. Charlotte has a fight in her hands, not only to stay safe from the threat but also to keep Mitch from distancing himself from her in a bid to protect her. This book was amazing!! The emotions and depth kept me hanging on to every word. The internal battle that Mitch deals with throughout the book is as real as it is sometimes painful. I loved him and Charlotte together, she was everything positive that he was missing in his life and she needed someone to cherish her and actually see her as more then just a little girl. *I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader copy of this book.*

The third in the Road to Love series, this book focuses on Mitch. Full of sex appeal and a healthy dose of family, the book still holds plenty of action and humor. Foster has a fast paced way of writing that pulls you in to the story and keeps you involved from the first pages. This book can stand alone, but will be much better if you read the first two as the other characters involved have their own back stories that are related. A great read overall.

This is the third book in the series and the one I was waiting for. Charlotte is a bit of a mystery in the two other books. She got her time to shine in this book and she did it well. Mitch had a hard life and came searching to see if he could meet his half brothers. Low and behold Charlotte is the first to experience the real man behind the jaded mask. It was a fantastic story about family, healing, and love. This was definitely my favorite book out of the three and you can read it as a stand-alone because you do get some backgrounds on the past stories. I’d recommend reading them all because these crews brothers are some serious alpha males and their girls are just as tough.” I received an ARC from NetGalley, and this is my honest review."

This book is the BEST yet, in a SUPER series. Lori Foster does a GREAT job at combining romance with a bit of suspense. The characters are like familiar friends that I am excited to "visit" with again. I love how the family is growing & changing. The storyline "sucks you in" and keeps you interested until the very end. I couldn't put it down & I hope there is another book with Ros' story!

***Review***
This has to be my favorite of all the Road to Love books and it was hard to pick because the last one was so good. This is the third in the series but you can easily read it as a standalone or out of order. I would suggest reading them together though to get the full enjoyment of the series. I've been excitedly waiting for Charlotte's story, and Ms. Foster did not disappoint us. Charlotte and Mitch were the perfect couple together and had that instantaneous connection that we all long for, but the slow-burn in this book was definitely the way to go with this couple. I love it when I have to wait a while for a characters story and then we get it and it's so worth it. Charlotte's was like that. She consistently was the same through it all and never changed character.


***Summary***
He’s tantalizing trouble she can’t resist…

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.

This is my favorite of all the Road to Love books. It's the third in the series, but it can easily be read as a standalone.

I've been eager for Charlotte's story, and Lori Foster did not disappoint. Charlotte and Mitch were perfect together. They had an instant connection, but the slow-burn was definitely the way to go.

The interaction between all the family members was also thoroughly enjoyable, and of course, I loved all the animals with Brute being a great addition.

I loved mitch! I have been waiting for Charlotte's book since the first one in the series. It definitely didn't disappoint. Hopefully theres one more book to the series so we can read about Ros!

After a messed up childhood and a stint in prison, Mitch has been busy establishing his new business and moving into new house, all with the end goal of introducing himself to his half siblings. Mitch’s plans derail after he finds his attention snagged by Charlotte as he comes to her unneeded rescue outside the local bar. He inadvertently meets his brothers, Brodie and Jack, and their mom, Rosalyn, sooner then planned when they also show up to help Charlotte out.

I enjoyed Mitch and Charlotte’s story. They fit like puzzle pieces. Mitch was cautious and wary of anything resembling happy, but his protectiveness overruled those feelings time and time again. Charlotte was a joyful ray of sunshine that found Mitch flourishing under, even when he was leery of his chance at happiness. Charlotte may not have been as tough as Mary or Ronnie, but she could hold her own when necessary. She was a nurturing homebody with protective instincts towards those she loved,including Mitch.

All Fired Up, book 3 in the Road To Love series, was my favorite of the three. There was a grittier edge and an emotional rawness the first two books didn’t have which I think was due to Mitch’s background. That’s not to say the story was all dark because it wasn’t. Mitch’s dog, Brute, as well as fur-friends Buster, Howler, and the cat-Peanut-provided animal comedy and some riled up animal loving scenes. The Crew family also gave plenty of love, practicality, and united support, with comic relief moments thrown in for good measure.

I received an ARC from NetGalley and this is my honest review.

All Fired Up is the third book in Lori Foster's Road to Love series and even though I thoroughly enjoyed the first two this is my absolute favorite. Mitch and Charlotte are amazing characters. You root for them to have their HEA from the first chapter. They come from diverse backgrounds but their hearts are lock and key. The suspense in this novel kept me reading until I was blurry-eyed and the only disappointment was that this is most likely the end of the series. I loved the inclusive of the entire Crews family and must say, "Way to go Ros!" you'll have to read the book to find out why. This can be a standalone but the entire series is well worth a read!

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.

Receieved ARC in exchange for honest voluntary review from Netgalley and Lori Foster.

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”.
