  • Finding your treasure

    By Terri Dickey
    This is book 6 in this series and is Zev and Carly's story. Zev Braden has loved Carly Dylan since they were children. They planned their adventures and planned their lives together. That is until tragedy struck and changed their paths forever. Now fate with a little help has intervened and they are forced to see one another and when they do all the feelings from the past come rushing back. Can they survive this time since they live so far apart and do different things? This is a love story that has a past and hurts that must heal before they can move forward. There is romance, heat, and treasure hunting for not only lost gold but for each other heart. Virginia Rose and Brian Pallino did a great job narrating this book. Virginia was a perfect Carly and Brian with his deep voice gave my the perfect Zev. I enjoyed listening to them both. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it. There are lots of great characters along with our hero and heroin and it is entertaining and romantic.

    This was a good second chance romance as Zev and Carly find love with each other again. The pair have suffered loss of a friend as well as guilt of actions leading up to the grief that they suffered as teens. They then reunited a few years later where they had a one night stand but Carly felt that she needed to protect herself and left before they could attempt to resolve anything with their past. The pair are then reunited a second time where they find love with each other and resolve their feelings and issues from the past. The characters are well written with chemistry that is off the charts. I enjoyed the family orientation that the characters have as well as the return of characters from previous books and series. The story moved along well and kept me interested throughout as the story flowed. Overall this was a good book that I would recommend to others.

    I love Zev and Carly the most beautiful love story. They literally loved each other since second grade. They had a lot of firsts, kissing, adventures, sex and breakups. However they loved each other with every piece of their heart. Very good heartfelt story.

    Searching for Love will break your heart with the history of the two main characters Zev Braden and Carly Dylan. But as they begin to repair their relationship I could only cheer them on. This beautifully written story by Melissa Foster will hit all your buttons. It is romantic, healing, funny, sad and uplifting. I also loved how the characters from other books were woven throughout the book. It also must have taken a good bit of research to show the โ€œtreasure hunterโ€ process. A true 5 star read.

    This delicious second-chance romance will leave you with an epic book hangover. Zev and Carly have a strong connection that canโ€™t be denied. I loved the tension, discovery, amazing friends and family, smokinโ€™ hot sex, adventure, chocolate treats, the humor...oh, the humor. Itโ€™ll have you laughing until you cry. Meant to be love will always find a way. Donโ€™t miss out on this unforgettable story. And donโ€™t forget the tissues!

    After reading this book, I've decided I need a treasure hunter in my life. Even if only for a short time. The adventure, the love, the fun, the humor. Not only did we have Zev and Carly's story, but we had glimpses in to Ford and Randi's story. And Cutter and Quinn. This story has piqued my interest in these new stories. And Dare has a lot of moves and should have a story of his own soon. And now I'm curious about Luis and Aunt Marie. Goodness, Ms Foster has opened a treasure trove of love stories (ha ha pun intended).

    If there was ever a time that we needed a book to lift our spirits and make us smile, it is right now. Melissa Fosterโ€™s latest book โ€œSearching For Loveโ€ is a romantic, emotional, and beautifully written second chance love story. Zev and Carly are a special couple whose love story is tender, sweet and deeply personal. Their love for each other is timeless and made me laugh, cry and believe that real love will always find a way to bring people together. When tragedy struck, Zev closed himself off from his family and friends and left town because he thought that traveling, exploring and thrill-seeking would rid his mind of the guilt that surrounded him. However, Carly was always on his mind and in his heart and he would never be the same without her. He cherished her and she was far more precious than anything he had ever found in his travels. Carly was his โ€œmost valuable treasure and [his] first and only love.โ€ Carly was heartbroken when Zev left and felt that nothing would ever be the same. She shared everything with Zev and he was her other half and soulmate. She always wondered why Zev never reached out to her, called her or sent a postcard. Didnโ€™t their love mean anything to him? When she saw him again, the past came rushing back like a stream after a storm. He was her best friend and the one person she could share her love of adventure with. But that was all in the past, wasnโ€™t it? Why was Zev back in her life now, and what did it mean? Does Carly have it in her heart to forgive Zev or will she hide behind her fears and watch him sail away again?

    This book is a second chance romance and hits you in all the feels. Both Zev and Carly love each other but need to work through the past. It was a book of self discovery as much as it was about rekindling their love.
