Publisher's summary

In Dreaming of Love, Emily Braden is a leader in architectural preservation, a pillar in her small hometown, and successful in everything she does - with the exception of finding true love. She's watched several of her brothers fall in love, and she needs this trip to Tuscany to get away from it all and to stop focusing on what she doesn't have.

Dae Bray doesn't do flings, and he never stays in one place for very long. As a demolitionist he goes where jobs take him, and the more often he travels, the better. His trip to Tuscany is all work - until he meets smart and sexy Emily, who makes him reconsider his fear of settling down, his no-fling rule - and just about everything else he's ever believed about himself.

Passion sizzles as Dae and Emily explore the history and beauty of Tuscany. Their romance moves beyond tourist attractions to the bedroom, blossoming into a deep connection neither can deny. But their worlds collide when Emily wants to preserve the property that Dae is there to demolish. Can a woman who sees the beauty in preservation and a man whose life is spent tearing things down find a solid foundation for their love?

Witty and Serious

Melissa penned a hot and delicious story of love in Italy. B. J. Harrison will pull air from your lungs with the narration of it.
Emily Braden is an architect and she travels out of Trusty, Colorado to Tuscany, Italy to get away for a while. Dae Bray travels to Tuscany to demolish a house with a tree growing into it. When they meet passion sizzles, but they have a big problem. Emily wants to preserve the house and Dae was hired to demolish it. Dae did not do flings and Emily was not fling materiel. Would a house and tree come between them? The story will have a powerful effect on you!

Amazing

Melissa made me feel as though I was on a vacation in Italy with Emily. Emily met Dae her first night in Italy. She there for vacation, he there for work. There was an instant attraction between them. I loved this story. I love the narration of BJ Harrison.

Two totally different people---

What made the experience of listening to Dreaming of Love: Emily Braden the most enjoyable?

You can actually listen to them gradually falling in love...step by step...minute by minute...

What did you like best about this story?

His love of blowing things up and her need to protect...you would think that they would mix like oil and vinegar, who knew????She wants what all her brothers have found, and thinks that love may have passed her by, until Dae came along. Beautiful story. Very good on Audible.Well done again Ms. Foster

What about B.J. Harrison’s performance did you like?

I am liking him better and better each book I listen to.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When he purchased the property that he was looking at to demolish.

Any additional comments?

Well done again Ms. Foster!

Good book!

I enjoyed Emily and Dae's book from the beginning. The pair were a good match in that where they had similar yet different careers they do well in challenging each other. They were well written characters that were developed with chemistry. I liked the couple's strong sense of family as well. The plot of the story flowed well and I was given the sense that I too was on vacation with the pair with the laid back feel of this book. The narrator, Mr. Harrison did well with the narration in that it was clear and he made the story flow well. I enjoyed this book from start to finish and would recommend it to others.

AWESOME READ!

I loved it! This book was the best in the series so far! The narration was outstanding and gave the story that extra flair! The author did an amazing job with the character builds and plot. I can't recommend this series enough! I look forward to reading the next book in this series! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Italy...A Place for Love

Would you consider the audio edition of Dreaming of Love: Emily Braden to be better than the print version?

YES!

What did you like best about this story?

The setting in Italy.

Which scene was your favorite?

The scene where Emily & Dae spent the night in the "House of Wishes".

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

YES! I laughed and also felt every bit of emotion brought forth through Emily.

Such a Romantic Story

I was so excited to get Emily's story. I love her. She has a dynamic personality. Then, this book takes place in Tuscany. How romantic! Very quickly, she meets Dae, who is there on business. The chemistry between them is immediate and is sizzling hot. From there, is one of the most romantic stories that I have read by Melissa Foster. Now of course, everything can't go smooth, but it sure is close. I loved the story of the House of Wishes. I could just picture all the women writing their wishes and putting them into the tree. Then, there is B.J. Harrison, the narrator. He is one of the best in the business. His voice is so nice to listen to, no matter what is going on in the story. It is very impressive how you can always tell who is talking, or whose point of view he is reading. Melissa Foster and B.J. Harrison is an awesome combination.

Emily's happily ever after

Dae Bray (sigh) is amazing. The romance, the love, the understanding all makes him the best so far. The fact that Dae and Emily have pretty much opposite jobs, yet he doesn’t think twice about it being an issue between them makes his true feelings shine through. There is never a doubt that Emily and Dae will end up together.

From the first time Melissa Foster brought Emily into the books, I wanted to know her story. I knew she would find her happy every after, I mean she is a Braden, but who, when, and where??? Of all the female characters in this series she is the toughest, the roughest, and the most deserving. Her upbringing of being raised by a single mom with all those brothers around her could not possibly be easy. Then she goes on to be so successful, yet all alone. I was thrilled with Dreaming of Love came out and was Emily’s story.

BJ Armstrong's voice is perfect for this series. He is able to portray each character perfectly while keeping the pace of the book. The emotions each character feels are felt as he reads the book pulling me in with each chapter.

I just cant get enough of the Bradens!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Dreaming of Love: Emily Braden to be better than the print version?

YES!! I love BJ Harrison, he brings the book to life, as if your sitting with Emily!

What other book might you compare Dreaming of Love: Emily Braden to and why?

All of the other books in this series. They are all amazing.

What about B.J. Harrison’s performance did you like?

I love his voice, his voice is very smooth, and raspy and it just draws you to love the him and everything he preforms.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I love the whole book and series, but like with all books I do love my HEA
