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.

Taken by Love is part of the Love in Bloom series. While it can be heard as a stand-alone novel, for even more enjoyment, you may want to listen to the entire Love in Bloom series in order. Characters from each sub-series appear in future books.

I haven’t read and/or listened to the other books in this series. However, that didn’t affect my feelings on this book. I have read a few other books my Melissa Foster and something you can always expect from Mrs. Foster is a sweet book that’s full of family and passion. I love seeing all the love in these families. Luke was just plain southern boy perfection. You lookin for a cowboy? Melissa Foster gives us the most swoon-worthy male that I’ve read in a while… I just love a good southern’ boy though.

I really liked Daisy. Really though, how much more southern can you get than a Daisy Honey? I mean, that in itself made me giggle profusely! So Ms. Honey had a rough go of in school. Kids are mean, girls are meaner. She’s been struggling to rid herself of this loose reputation for years.

BJ Harrison was amazing! His sweet southern drawl pulled me right me and kept me captivated! He has this amazingly soothing voice that just makes your heart either speed right up or slow right down. It makes you want to grab a beer and sit on the porch while Mr. Harrison reads me a soft and sweet story. We get to see some of the other families, I’m sure they were in the other books. I liked them, they were fun to hear about and I’m sure if I had heard/read the book I would have loved catching up with them!

I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Melissa Foster. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
