Description

"This is a great idea." Aiden had jumped up, fist-punched the air, and yelled, "That's how we do it! BAM!" It stuck. Our initials, our ideas, our brand. My brothers.
 

Three young men meet in university and form a lifelong friendship. Their pasts dictate the men they are, but their present shapes their future. What happens when these men meet the one person they are destined to be with? Can they fight their feelings and walk away? Or will they each succumb and learn the sweet agony of love?  

Aiden
Haunted by memories of his past, Aiden plays the part of the happy-go-lucky friend. Always ready with a teasing smile or a joke, he is good at hiding his pain.
Using his impressive physique as a shield, he keeps his past buried beneath his rugged exterior.
Except, one woman sees through his façade.
Her green eyes see too much, even as her body tempts him.
Even as his heart yearns for her.
Cami is determined to make him realize that he is worthy of being loved.
He pushes her away at every turn, yet finds himself unable to keep her at arm's length.
Who will win this battle of love?

    This book was amazing. It made me laugh, cry, feel worried and was great. I haven’t read the other stories in this series and they mentioned stuff from the first story occasionally.

    BAM... I'm loving this series and these men so much!! Aiden: the one who I found the most intriguing in Bentley. He was definitely a mystery and I had a hard time being patient for his story. There's always something more behind the guy who makes everyone laugh and I didn't want to wait to know what it was. But Tree Trunk and Cami were definitely worth it. I loved the suspense part of this book. MM does a fantastic job of keeping you guessing and on the edge of your seat. I'm counting down the days to Maddox!!
  • Love this book❤️

    I’m kicking myself why I haven’t read this series sooner. This book was so good. Aiden was a broken man and si tell you that prologue was hard for me to read, I wanted to crawl in the book and just hug him. While he was very attached to Cami, he didn’t think himself worthy of Camila’s love. Camila is my girl. I’m an avid reader and lover of protective Alpha males, but loved Cami the most in this book. She’s such a strong heroine and saw through Aiden. I’ve seen readers claiming Bentley, Aiden, Maddox and even Reid, and while these men are so amazing, I’m claiming Cami. As my best friend. I loved how strong she was for Aiden and how she helped him and showed him how he was worthy of her love. This books for series is amazing and highly recommended. 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  • Another BAM hit!

    Oh Aiden!! Sweet, Sweet Aiden! Another character that I want to reach through my kindle and hug and comfort. And maybe smack a time or two 😉. Aiden is just so down on himself but doesn’t want anyone to figure that out so he buries it. Which I can’t fault him for because I’ve been known to do that same thing. The chemistry between Aiden and Cami is just unreal and Hot and essential. I think Aiden needed Cami to see himself through new eyes. I cannot wait for fashion plate Maddox’s story. I know he’s got some demons under that affable demeanor.
  • Aiden is one heck of a captivating, kick start your heart must have this book!

    Aiden is such an awesome story. It combines sweet romance, emotional storyline, friendships in so many forms, plus an added bonus of a little danger and mystery. “She ties me up in knots. She makes me want things I can’t have. To be something I can never be.” There was difficult but very different childhood for each of the main characters. Aiden tries running away from his feelings a bit, but Cami is just too awesome to run from! And Aiden doesn’t try to run too fast!! I completely fell in love with Cami from the start. She is such a beautiful character, so loving and caring! “The look on his face when I said the word love to him . . . he was incredulous, incapable of believing himself worthy of being loved. Unable to comprehend that he could love someone.” These three guys, Bentley, Aiden and Maddox, together have a great connection, it really comes through in these stories. Each book focuses on one of the men, but continues the story of their friendship throughout. -5 Stars!- -Diane-

    Another great book in the Vested Interest Series. I have to say I loved Aiden's story so much more than Bently's. Aiden has dealt with some painful issues in life and his scars run deep. Cami is a ray of sunshine, so full of spirit and love, but not without her own painful past. The two of them together is explosive, until it's shut down by Aiden over and over. When Cami's life is turned upside down and she winds up in danger, it may just be the push Aiden needs to express himself and heal. This book was exciting and well thought out. A thrilling ride full of suspense, wounded souls and love. The story flowed flawlessly and the characters are continually developing throughout all the books. Each member of BAM has his unique set of issues and each woman there to heal is special. These alpha males have it all. Hot sexy prowess with a wealthy attitude. ;) I love the tight bond of friendship these men have and how it makes them a family. They have each others backs and love each other unconditionally. Aiden's story touched my soul deep down. He has so much compassion and has been hurt so much that my soul ached for him. He deserves to be loved, yet he can't allow it. His soul is so tortured it is heartbreaking. Cami is his light at the end of a very long tunnel in life. I am enjoying this series immensely and I think you will too. If you have not read Bent's story do so. Even though this can be read as a stand alone, it makes it all the better to meet the characters from the start. Then you will truly understand what makes each one tick. Can't wait to read Maddox's story. He seems like he is hiding something big. ;) *ARC Melanie Moreland

    Aiden by Melanie Moreland is phenomenal! I absolutely love the way Moreland gives her readers all the feels with both realistic and bold characters, as well as storylines that capture your heart. Aiden is a tortured soul, who battles the demons of his past even though he has reached great success. He is an example that each of us hold onto things that have shaped us from a young age. However, he also shows us what determination and loyalty to friends can do to help build a life full of fulfillment and courage. Cami is one of my all time favorite female leads. She is so soulful and sassy and compassionate and fierce. She seriously has such a incredible understanding of Aiden that it’s enough to catch him off guard and makes him want things he never thought possible. “His Soul was damaged, and as much as I wanted to help him, he had to want that from me.” Aiden is a 5 Star must read that will keep you up reading way past your bedtime!

    I’m a complete mess after finishing this book. I wanted so much to reach into the story and hold Aiden closed and tell him over and over again how much he is loved. I also wanted to smack him for being frustratingly guarded with Cami. I so hurt for her when he closed her out. I fell in love with all the characters in Bentley and Emmy’s story but I just didn’t realized how much more I would fall in love with them in this book. I can’t wait to see what is next with Maddox and Dee.
  • Aiden is the hero you’ve been waiting for

    Whether or not you’ve read book 1 of the Vested Interest series, shouldn’t keep you from grabbing this next installment. Ms. Moreland weaves enough story to keep you in the know. But why miss out? Buy Book 1 and devour it before Book 2 hits your iBooks library. Yet Aiden is everything. He’s happy, funny. He is possessive and protective. He is a broken but not so much he can’t see he deserves love. Cami is the perfect heroine to complement him. She is strong and her own woman. She loves Aiden and wants to help - yet knows when she’s pushed too hard and wanting to have him see what he’ll be missing out on. Time to bring on Maddox! I’m ready. 5 out of 5 romantic hearts.
