FLIRTING WITH LOVE is a USA Today Bestseller Elisabeth Nash has spent years dreaming of returning to the small town of Trusty, Colorado, where she spent summers with her favorite aunt. When she inherits her aunt’s farmette, she closes her Los Angeles pet bakery and pampering business, sure that life in Trusty will be as peaceful and as welcoming as she remembers. But being an outsider in the close-knit town proves to be very different from the happy summers she remembers from her childhood—and falling for Trusty’s hot, wealthy, and sinfully irresistible veterinarian, Ross Braden, sends the rumor mill into a frenzy. Ross Braden learned long ago that gossip spreads faster than weeds in his small hometown, and Ross loves nothing more than his privacy. For that reason, he doesn’t date women who live in Trusty. But that was before blond, beautiful, and refreshingly honest Elisabeth Nash flew into his vet clinic seeking help for her panicked piglet and turned his comfortable life—and his heart—inside out. Despite rumors about Elisabeth’s motives toward her aunt’s property, passion brews between Elisabeth and Ross. Every steamy kiss and every sensual touch brings the pair closer together, and when Ross helps Elisabeth try to fit into the town he adores, it makes their bond even stronger. But even Elisabeth’s efforts toward reaching the community, and the love she and Ross so desperately believe in, might not be enough for the protective small town to offer them a future.

    As much as I love this series, and I mean the WHOLE Love in Bloom series, sometimes there are little errors that drive me nuts. I can only imagine Melissa Foster is a writing machine, so a minor mistake here and there is to be expected. (example: a character refers to 'last night' when it's actually been a few days and it was referred to as a few days ago by another character) Such stupid little things that I'm not quite sure why it drives me crazy.

    That being said, this was another wonderful book by Foster. I loved Ross and Elisabeth both. Which makes it odd to me that I didn't love their romance as much as most of the others in the series. I can't explain what it is that was missing for me. In fact, besides the fact that I'm allergic to many animals, Ross would be my ideal man. Mature, not a playboy, helpful, not jealous over little things, supportive...I could go on and on. And Elisabeth, what a sweetheart! There was nothing not to love about her. I even "felt" the heat between them. I just can't put my finger on what was lacking.

    On the other hand, the relationship between Emily and the girlfriends of her brothers was endearing. What a great bunch of friends for any woman. All of them are kind and loving with a bit of wit and mischief. I loved them all!

    It says a lot about this series and this author that I found this book to be one of the "duds" of the series but still think it's worth 3 stars. It is definitely still worth reading.
