In SWEPT INTO LOVE...It's been years since Sally Tuft's husband died and she was left to raise her teenage son alone. And almost as long since she told the only other man she'd ever wanted that they should be just friends. Now her son has left for college and Sally has no distractions to keep her from thinking about her best friend and coworker, Gage Ryder, and what could have been.

Gage always believed that one day Sally would move past the death of her husband and they would finally explore the passion that's simmered between them since the day they met. Tasked with opening a new youth center in Oak Falls, Virginia, Gage hopes the trip away is just what they need to finally come together.

Before Gage and Sally ever reach Oak Falls, one night at a conference changes everything, putting their friendship and their love on the line, and the two must decide if getting swept up in love is the beginning of forever, or the end of their friendship as they know it.

4 Stars Swept Into Love is the fifth title in the Ryders series, a friends to lovers romance, that I have been eagerly anticipating. Anyone familiar with Ms Fosters work will be aware of this pair of characters and their close knit friendship. Readers will not be disappointed in this emotion driven and swoon worthy romance. Ms Foster writes so prolifically, but so well. Although I haven't read every title in the Love in Bloom series, being that forty have been written, I have read quite a few and I loved that several of my favorite past characters appeared within this story line. For anyone who has not read any of the previous title, you need not worry as this book can be read as a standalone. Gage is determined and loyal, and despite being an alpha, he's incredibly sensitive, sweet and romantic. He loves fiercely and with his whole heart. Sally is stubborn, and has a past that haunts her, she fears letting love in, after already loosing one man she loved. But she's met her match in her long time friend, confidante and co-worker Gage. Their story is a heartwarming and engaging contemporary romance, full of heart, heat, sweetness and angst told in a dual point of view. I thoroughly recommend this title to anyone who loves a contemporary romance, or who is a fan of the previous forty titles in the love in bloom series.

So this is what it means to take baby steps. Step 1: Meet your soulmate. Step 2: Break your own heart. Step 3: Learn how to love again. There's something about a guy, that will break his own heart in order to heal someone else's. Gage is that guy. A stand up friend, a stand - in father and a sensitive and sensual delight. He wears his heart on his sleeve and his penchant to love flows naturally. So close and yet so far away, convincing the woman of his dreams is proving anything but easy. Can his risk his heart for a woman afraid to open hers? Sally and Gage are a match made in heaven. He's determined, she's stubborn. She's running scared, he's never been more sure. Swept into Love is a conversation of the heart. If Gage and Sally would listen closely, they'd realize the deal was sealed, long ago. Ms. Foster can set off tingles and light up sparks as she carves out a clear pathway to the heart.

I love a good friends to lovers romance. Gage and Sally's story shows not only how great it can be to love your best friend, but how hard that change can be as well. I love Gage and he has moved up to the top of my book boyfriend list. #MSBB
