Actress Remi Divine is sick of bodyguards, sick of stalkers, and sick of feeling like she is always under a microscope. But this movie star isn't helpless by any means. She's got a rebellious streak, and she knows how to use it. First order of business: getting rid of the overbearing bodyguards who are sticking to her like glue. Mason Swift has made protecting others his life, and when Remi ditches his two best men, he takes over and gives it everything he has. Having grown up in the foster-care system, and as a former special operative, he knows all the tricks. Nothing gets by him, especially not gorgeous, sneaky Remi. He thinks she's a diva. She thinks he's arrogant. But when sparks turn to flames and their walls come down, their true hearts are revealed, and their connection is unstoppable. And when tragedy strikes, Remi realizes that being protected isn't the worst thing in the world--but losing Mason just might be.… (more)

The life of a celebrity is never easy. Appearances may be deceiving, danger may be at every corner, but all is good if one has the most handsome bodyguard!

Remi has been under her brother’s constant protection. For a well-known actress, there is no such thing as privacy. When she starts receiving anonymous notes her brother hires one of the best firms to protect her and investigate the case. However, she does the job impossible. This until the head of the agency comes to protect her himself. Mason is taking the job seriously: he protects her, but also teaches her how to minimize risks, while still living her life.

The most beautiful part of this story is how the main characters let down their guard and let each other in. Seeing Mason’s sensitive side is like seeing a crack in an armor. Melissa Foster took her time in developing every reaction and each gesture and for that she deserves all the praise in the world. I also loved the passion they have for their work. Remi’s dedication to her fans is impressive, although quite naïve sometimes. They put their heart and even life into it. Let’s not forget the friendships – the support system they have is great and it makes me feel sorry I haven’t read book 1 yet.

Unfortunately, there is as well one aspect that pushes me back from giving 5 full stars: the mystery. The romance was great, but the conclusion of the stalking case that brought these two together is poor and rushed. The ending was penalized by this aspect and it dragged a lot with other elements (nice elements, but the case could have had a more serious conclusion).

As it happens with all the books that I’ve read until now by Melissa Foster, something is preventing me to give my full rating. However, this is by far my favorite book by her and I cannot wait to complete all the books in the series. ( )

I am loving this series. Melissa brings the wit, charm, and heat to these books. Although, I will admit that this book was more on the serious side than the humorous side. The humor that did come into play was in the form of Piper. Who I am very excited to read her story next.

Remi and Mason aka hottie guard had personal scars that they both were dealing with. So, this book is more on the angsty side. Yet, it is still steamy as heck. Remi and Mason went from lukewarm to steamy. As the story progressed, Remi blossomed into a more confident woman and Mason learned to let loose more. You could say that I was in love with This is Love. ( )

For some reason, I struggled to connect with the characters in this one. The story was engaging but I never fully got invested. However, I'm still a fan of this author. ( )

I read a lot of Melissa Foster books but this one has got to be my absolute favorite (at least until she comes out with a new book).
Who can resist a book with a strong heroine who is being stalked and my be protected by a hot bodyguard (hereafter known as the hottieguard). Where she had felt like a prisoner with her previous bodyguards, with Mason, she felt heard and that made all the difference. He sees Remi as a person and not just a Hollywood star.
Just when you think the Happily Ever After is about to come, the story takes a turn and tears will flow but everything turns out in the end.
I love the way Melissa writes her characters and how she can make small time life come alive. You want to be friends with these people and wish to live in Harmony Pointe.
I received an advanced copy of this book. ( )

This is Love is full of sugar and spice and everything nice with just enough heat in time for the holidays. Remi is full of sass and fire, and Mason might the only man on earth other than her protective brother who can match her. Mason is all about being professional, but he knows from the start that Remi might just be the one to break through his tough outer shell to the passionate man beneath. A fire that will keep you warm on a cold winter's night blazes between them, and it's a romance you don't want to miss! ( )
