Melanie Codina ~ Love Required

This is Book 3 in the Real Love Series ,,, This is an amazing series and this book simply amplifies that :) if you haven't already read the first two books they come highly recommended ,,, Book 3 focuses on Tori and Jason and so can be read as a stand alone ,,, however there are some truly amazing characters and to feel the full effect of this series I highly recommend you read them all and in order :)

Synopsis:

Jason Michaels knows second chances are very much a part of “happy ever after.” He’s seen it firsthand, more than once. So when will it be his turn? He has a great group of friends and family to share his life with, but he knows there is one thing still missing. Love isn’t something he’s been avoiding, he just hasn’t found it yet… or has he?

Tori Peterson has made mistakes in her life, but they all pale in comparison to her marriage. Luckily, she’s a woman who quickly learned from her mistakes. Doing everything in her power to escape the man who promised to cherish her, she builds herself a life she can be proud of. Never again will she be fooled into being with a man who she might love. She knows she has too much to lose.

Her hope? That she will recognize real love when she finds it. Her fear? That her past will catch her before she has a chance to find the love she deserves, the love that is required … So what happens when her hopes and fears catch up to her at the same time?

Review

WOW ,,,, how do I explain this one? ,,, WOW

I fell in love with Melanie's Real Love Series the second I began them ,,, each one is amazingly written and I LOVE this group of characters ,,, they are always there for everyone and are welcoming to newcomers of their group

This book is the third from this series and is Jason and Tori's story

We begin with a background from Tori (We already know Jason from previous books) ,,, your heart will break for this woman ,,, but the courage that seeps from her will leave you far from pity

This story is intense and you'll want to see both Tori and Lexi (Tori's daughter) showered with happiness and good fortune ,,,

In walks Jason ,,,,

A chance meeting brings these two together at Gillian's wedding not getting the chance to find out more about her Jason feels like he may have missed his chance ,,, but again they meet ,,, fate was definitely playing it's part here ,,,, but not only did his eyes catch the beauty of 1 female but 2 ,,, Lexi was only a baby but she was beautiful and instantly Jason felt a need to be near the both of them

Time passes and life is maybe running a little too smoothly ,,,,

Then BAM the ex is back and he wants what is his and he will do whatever he can to make sure he gets exactly that not caring the trail of hurt he causes

My hands were literally twitching at the end of this book will my eyes and brain to process the words as quickly as possible wanting to feed myself the words and find out what was going to happen ,,, angst? Hell yes!!!

I highly recommend this book ,,, the entire series ,,, they are amazing,,, once again a fantastic read :)

About The Author:

Melanie is an amazing mother of four, an awesome and tolerant wife to one, and nurse to many. If you don’t believe her, just ask anyone in her family, they know what to say. She is also a devoted chauffer, the keeper of missing socks, a genius according to a six year old, the coolest soccer uniform coordinator according to a twelve year old, and the best damn ‘mac-n-cheese-with-cut-up-hot-dog maker in the whole world. Well that last title isn’t really official, but it’s still pretty cool to be called it.

When not being ordered around by any of the kids, you can find her with her nose in a book or on the sideline of a soccer game cheering on one team or another. But that’s mostly because she has a thing for the coach. When she is not doing all of the above, you can find her obsessed with a group of fictional characters all vying for a spot on the page of whatever she’s working on. It’s a fun and crazy life to lead, but wouldn’t have it any other way
