My Review:

Family isn’t only about blood. It’s a bout love.

In her latest installment in the Vested Interest Series: ABC Corp, Melanie Moreland delivers an emotional second chances at love and new beginnings story in Loved by Liam. This companion novel to Finding Ronan’s Heart will leave you rooting and swooning for the characters until the very end.

As a landscape architect and owner of Branching Outward, Liam Callaghan has created a very successful business apart from the rest of his family at BAM. His work brings him joy as well as his family. As the oldest of the Callaghan siblings, Liam is protective over his triplet brothers and wants to see them find the happiness that they deserve. So when he gets the chance to help his brother, Ronan, by brining the love of his life to him, Liam doesn’t miss the chance to do just that. What he wasn’t expecting to come across is the beautiful woman living with Beth and it’s their instant connection that seem to get her out of his head. Paige sparks something inside him and Liam is set on making her see that he is different than he ex. She can trust him to keep her heart safe forever, it’s all about giving Liam the chance to prove himself.

Paige Winters has been through a lot in her life. Coming from an abusive relationship, Paige has fought to give her daughter, Lucy, a better life. As an insurance claims adjuster, she is able to work from home and save the money that they need. Living with Beth and her son has given her the family that she doesn’t have. Until a knock on her door changes her life forever and she quickly finds herself unable to resist Liam Callaghan. He is a force as he enters her life wanting to love her and her daughter, Lucy. But there are things that he doesn’t know about her past and her insecurities have her second guess what they could potentially have.

I loved reading Loved by Liam, the story itself is quick and short. We get to see their story from Ronan and Beth’s eyes in Finding Ronan’s Heart, so it is somewhat repetitive. But I loved reading their story from their POV. Liam is a fierce protector and he shows that from the minute he meets Paige. He is immediately after her and wants to get to know her better. As the two spend more time together, the more he fall head over heals in love with her. Paige is immediately attracted to Liam, although things move really fast for them, she knows that they are meant to be together. Yet, there are things that they still need to figure out in order to have their happily ever after. We get cameos from characters in previous series that I loved! His family truly embraces Paige and her daughter, which was really touching to read. The ending was sweet and totally fit their story. I cannot recommend it enough, as well as the rest of the Vested Interest Series. :)

My Rating:

Author Bio:

New York Times/USA Today bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of thirty-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.

While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.

Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She's learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.
