In TAKEN BY LOVE...
Daisy Honey fled Trusty, Colorado, after years of battling rumors sparked by her gorgeous looks and lust-inducing name. Now a physician on the brink of a promising career, she reluctantly returns home when her father is injured in a farming accident. Daisy expects the small-town girls who hurt her in the past to take cheap shots again--but she's completely unprepared for a run-in with tall, dark, and wickedly sexy Luke Braden, the only man who has ever stood up for her--and the man she's never forgotten.

Luke Braden is handsome, wealthy, and the best damn gypsy horse breeder in the Midwest. After a restless youth, he's finally ready to settle down--only connecting with women is nothing like connecting with horses, and he's never met a woman worth the energy. After an arrest in a neighboring town, Luke's past comes back to haunt him, and he realizes that his inability to find love runs deeper than he ever imagined.

A chance encounter sweeps Luke and Daisy into a world of passion. For the first time ever, Luke feels a connection, but Daisy's life in Trusty is anything but permanent, and Luke can't manage a future until he puts his past to rest.

My Review:

5 of 5 stars

Taken by Love is about a doctor named Daisy Honey and a horse rancher named Luke Braden. Daisy returned to her hometown when her Father fell off his tractor and hurt his back. She came home to help out in the weeks before choosing her new career location. She left years before to become a well-respected doctor, and to forget the cruel false rumors she suffered from in High School. Luke is a well-known horse rancher with a bit of a reputation. They hit it off from the moment they run into each other again.
Taken by Love is a great read. While not a short, I read it in one day. I had trouble putting it down. The plot is great and really easy to follow. Melissa Foster did a great job taking an older idea and reworking it to make it enticing. I enjoyed following Daisy and Luke as they worked through their issues and developed their relationship. And even though he loved her, he wasn't going to beg Daisy to stay in Trusty. Their relationship is powerful. The love scenes are so steamy! I loved this book and plan to work on getting the rest of the series!
