NEW RELEASE……..
Claimed by Love, Book #2 The Ryders
Family law attorney Gabriella Liakos has one true love, Elpitha Island, where she grew up and hopes someday to return. But Elpitha is in financial ruins, and Gabriella will do anything to keep it from falling into the wrong hands.
Duke Ryder is a savvy real estate investor set on making Elpitha into an exclusive resort. Unlike other investors, he’s not scared of purchasing a property where one family has roots so deep they practically reach the ocean floor…until he meets his beautiful, stubborn, and enticing tour host―the daughter of the owner of most of the island.
Gabriella sets out to dissuade Duke from purchasing Elpitha, but Duke has other ideas. He wants Gabriella and the island. Duke’s powerful seduction draws Gabriella in, but can a savvy investor who’s used to glamour and glitz, and a woman interested in preserving the culture she adores find a happily ever after together?

“You can always rely on Melissa Foster to deliver a story that’s fresh, emotional and entertaining. Make sure you have all night, because once you start you won’t want to stop reading. Every book’s a winner!” ―New York Times Bestselling Author Brenda Novak
I continue to enjoy the world of Melissa Foster. She has created such an enticing web of people and continues to build on each character. Each story has its own flair in that it doesn’t repeat what you’ve already read in the previous stories. You become familiar with the families, seeing how they fit in each other’s lives and ultimately how their new found love is integrated.
Claimed By Love is Duke and Gabriella’s story. In the opening, we get an individual perspective on how they feel about the pending purchase of the island. Gabriella’s family owns and lives on the island, so we get the “personal” side. Duke comes in as the perspective investor so his viewpoint is based on “how can we improve?”. You may wonder why I put this in my review, but it’s one of the first things that stood out to me. I thought it was interesting because of what each had at stake if things went south.
As far as the characters, I thought Gabriella was definitely a strong-willed and family oriented person. She was also someone you could rely on and is a good friend. I thought Duke was also a strong-willed person, ambitious, and when he loves, he loves hard. They both had an intense, passionate side. They were perfect for each other.
As with all of Ms. Foster’s books, I thoroughly enjoyed Duke and Gabriella’s story. It always feels like I’m catching up with old friends.
Thank you!
