Rescued by Love is the fourth book in the Ryder series and the forty second book in the Love in Bloom series by Melissa Foster. Rescued by Love picked up during the wedding reception of Duke and Gabriella, where Trish and Boone's book, Chased by Love, ended. It then went straight into Trish and Boone's short notice wedding. Jake Ryder was insanely gorgeous, a thrill seeker, strong, sexy, fun loving, laid back, a natural heart breaker, confident and possessive. Addison "Addy" Dahl was independent, strong, confident, witty, sensual, challenging and beautiful. Per Jake, Addy was a "petite, sassy brunette that looked like she should be treated like fine china but spoke as though she could hold her own in a biker bar." I was totally in love with Jake. What's not to love about all that sexy confidence wrapped in one man. And I loved that he called Addy sexy girl. I was in like with Addy. I loved her confidence and snarky attitude, but I wasn't in love with her aloofness and unreasonable stubbornness. Rescued by Love was told in a dual POV, was well written and well developed. Foster set the stage in the first few chapters well, adding insight, primarily from Jake's perspective, so we knew what to expect as the foundation of their relationship and anticipated direction. Jake and Addy had been dancing around each other for months. Jake pushing to sleep with her, and Addy pushing Jake away. Addy was Gabriella's best friend and Jake was Duke's brother, so neither wanted to mess with family. The anticipation was built so high that they exploded when they finally agreed to "a one night stand." I loved that although Jake struggled with the intensity of his feelings that he was man enough to embrace it and go all Alpha until he got the ultimate prize, Addy's heart. Addy wasn't so quick to agree and Foster then began to unravel the many layers of Addy, providing depth and dimension to the storyline. True to Foster's style, we were graced with the full Ryder and Stryker clans as the supporting cast of characters, which provided additional depth to the storyline. We'll have one more Ryder story, Gage and Sally in Swept Into Love, then hopefully we'll see some Stryker books on the horizon as well.
