A Fostered Love (Foster Siblings Book 1)

---

See a Problem?

David ultimately became a threat and consequently was a significant part of the plot. His disastrous childhood, although in the distant past, was still the filter through which he judged everyone and it had a significant effect on the man he had become — wary, elusive, tough, uncommunicative, closed off — until he reconnected with Christian and realized that he wanted more in his life than the barren landscape it had become.

There is much to recommend A Fostered Love but I thought it could have done with a bit of editing. For example, some sex scenes in the book would require a contortionist to execute the antics. On the plus side there is a lot of emotion between Christian and Jonah, and the sex was inventive and at times rough which was exactly what they needed to show they belonged to each other.

In addition, the plot device that the author used to give David the opportunity to enter the house unnoticed was too obvious — anyone could see it coming. There are so many holes in this story you could drive a truck through it. The scenes between Jonah and Christian were certainly designed to get the blood flow going at an accelerated pace and there was a lot of sex in A Fostered Love which is the norm for this author.

His capacity for emotion seemed almost non existent in part due I suppose to his unusual and dysfunctional life, and his only salvation was Christian to whom he clung throughout the story. He was a complex character who was bossy at times but then would become an emotional basket case with a major inferiority complex. I live in Canada and I love big dogs, music, movies, reading and sports — especially baseball. Good review, you hit the spot there! Larissa I tried to lay out the areas where I had difficulty with this book and I hope I succeeded. Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.

They shared a room and Christian developed a strong crush on the older boy. After making a juvenile mistake, Jonah is arrested and sent to JD Juvenile Detention and Christian never hears from him again.

Hoping to get as much money from the house that they can for Marisol's c Jonah and Christian were foster brothers 15 years ago. Hoping to get as much money from the house that they can for Marisol's charities, the men decide to remodel the house to increase the market value. Working closely together and living in the house again, reignites feelings that Christian has for the quiet and gruff Jonah. Just as they are exploring these feelings, a man from Christian's past returns.

I liked this book more than I thought that I was going to. Jonah and Christian were very likable characters, and I did like the changing POVs so that I could get inside both of their heads. The secondary characters were pretty interesting as well. Abby is one of Jonah and Christian's foster siblings, Rodrigo is Christian's boss, and Braden is a cop.

I thought this was an interesting read and although I don't like menages, I'm slightly tempted to read the next book in the series starring the secondary characters. Sep 05, Vivian rated it really liked it Shelves: Emotional read about two guys who met during foster care and reunited again later. Jonah took the hard road, but when called returns to fulfill a promise. After some hard knocks he's sorted out a lot of things, but there's still damage. Never having been emotionally invested he's having a hard time expressing himself.

Christian is a stand up guy. While his life wasn't easy he's managed just fine and is no one's doormat, but sometimes the past doesn't stay in the past. That can be good and bad, and Emotional read about two guys who met during foster care and reunited again later. That can be good and bad, and in Christian's case--it's both. This is probably my favourite book written by Cameron Dane Jun 24, Makhda rated it it was amazing Recommended to Makhda by: I admit once upon a time I've read one of her books.

And I didn't quite like it.

But thank goodness my friend encouraging me to read this one. Maybe too much sex for me but I don't let it bother me. I loved Jonah and Christian. I loved seeing them together. I almost tag this book in 'mates'. And that's little crazy because this is not PNR book, obviously. View all 5 comments. Nov 30, Lauraadriana rated it really liked it Shelves: Just kind of bumped into this book Story was sweet the boys were hot and the sex was well There's a another book that follows this one and have bought to see what this lady comes up with This was a good read that I liked.

Jonah Roberts returned to the small town of Coleman to help his former foster brother Christian Sanchez after the death of his former foster mother Marisol. Christian never thought he would see Jonah again. Foster brothers for a short time as teens, Christian developed a massive crush on Jonah, his tough, older roommate. That all ended when the cops came and arrested Jonah 15 years later. When these two come together old feelings and fears begin to surface. In This was a good read that I liked.

In the 15 years since he has been away Jonah has made something of himself he owns two custom bike shops in Miami. Christian who was a baseball player and made it to the big league until he heard his knee in the minors now works for Rodrigo another former foster kid building things. As these two repair Marisol's house so they can sell it they get closer they each see a side of each other that not many people see. When Christian's ex David won't take no for an answer Jonah tells him to get a restraining order but he doesn't think David will do anything he was wrong.

The sex scenes in this book were hot as hell although I did take off a star because they had sex without a condom the first time. I also liked the secondary character's in this book Abby, Rodrigo and Braden who are the character's in book two of this series. This book has been on my tbr list for awhile and I wanted a fast start it was it was a slow steady read.

This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series. Sep 06, Shelby rated it it was amazing Recommended to Shelby by: Oh wow I loved this book! I've avoided reading it for awhile because somewhere in the back of my head that while I'd liked some of Cameron Dane's books I hadn't been all that impressed. This story just blew me away. I fell in love with Jonah and Christian. Jonah is such a tortured soul. He's locked away from feeling anything and his countenance makes people reluctant to approach him in the first place.

His rough history hasn't made life easy for him and even though he's found success in life he's Oh wow I loved this book!

His rough history hasn't made life easy for him and even though he's found success in life he's never had that human connection with anyone. Christian may have had a rough start but Mari's foster home game him the love and encouragement he needed to grow. He flourished under her care and his only regret was losing touch with his roommate and first love Jonah after he was taken away. Mari's death though has brought both boys back together to honor her wishes and see her life squared away properly. Jonah's feelings in this book were just so raw.

I loved how out of his element he was. Christian's steadiness gave Jonah the framework he needed to start to understand and accept what he wanted and what those feelings could mean for him. Despite this big hulk of a guy, Jonah has an understated sweetness to him. Christian has such a good soul you just want everything in the world of happiness for the guy. Love, love, loved this one! Sep 05, Nile Princess rated it really liked it Shelves: Absolutely loved this book.

It was heartwarming, compelling and the characters are nuanced and honest-to-goodness lovable. With Jonah and Christian, I felt the author corrected many of the issues that bugged me with some of her other books. There was more 'showing' and less 'telling'; conversations were more evenly paced and didn't feel like info dump; sex scenes were not flowery and laced with corny declarations, and the men were very MALE even though they were loving. I cheered for Jonah and C Absolutely loved this book. I cheered for Jonah and Christian every step of the way and the evolution of their relationship - from childhood crushes to an adult love - was very well done.

Christian and Jonah knew each other years ago whilst in foster care. They come together again after Marisol the foster mum who looked after them has died and they have to renovate the house and sell if for the money to go to charity.

Jonah was a bit of a bad boy totally attracts me! I loved the way Christian Christian and Jonah knew each other years ago whilst in foster care. I loved the way Christian took care of Jonah and I also have a thing for Tatts and the description of Jonah's tatt's just made me tear up. Then we get to meet the nutter called David - I don't want to put too much about him but OMG my heart was in my mouth at the end of the book!

This was the first book I read by Cameron Dane and I will certainly be reading more. May 12, Heather C rated it liked it Shelves: A good love story frequently interrupted by really bad sex. I really liked Jonah and Christian and I liked their story ok. But the only way they could communicate was by having sex! I'm sure you 3. I'm sure you will love it! The next book in the series is menage, so I'm not sure if I will be reading that one or not. View all 14 comments.

Jul 28, Awilk -never sleeps- rated it really liked it Shelves: I read a few reviews before deciding to read this, and from what I read, I was prepared for how good I thought this book was. The storyline had no big surprises for me, but I enjoyed the pace of the story, and I enjoyed all the characters. I found it a sweet story that was a joy for me to read. Jun 26, Amy rated it really liked it. I don't know, I just had a hard time connecting with the story.

I liked Christian and Jonah, but I didn't get all wrapped up in them like I usually do. I kept checking to see how much was left in the book, which is never a good sign: Won't stop me from reading more from this author. Maybe I'll have better luck next time! Aug 15, Kassa rated it liked it. This is a solidly written book with intense characters and some pretty hot sex scenes. That said, I struggled with this book and found my attention wandering at several points. It has tight, concise writing with vivid scene detail and some interesting charact This is a solidly written book with intense characters and some pretty hot sex scenes.

It has tight, concise writing with vivid scene detail and some interesting characters. It has enough intensity and emotion to be a thoroughly satisfying romance for most readers. My problem was partially with the characters. Jonah is a thirty-something rough man with a broken home life growing up and eventually ended up in juvie for a few years. The culmination of a poor and dysfunctional childhood has left Jonah completely emotionally stunted and unable to have even casual communication with other people.

He swings from angry and overbearing to fearful and tongue-tied. Whatever problems he had in juvenile detention were not addressed at all, leaving me wondering which experience in his life really left him so emotionally crippled. Christian is an interesting character, showing a solid depth and complex nature that compliments the almost wild unpredictably Jonah presents. He goes from the quiet one of the duo to showing strength and dominance on his own by the end of the story.

His low-key intensity, while seemingly contradictory, somehow works well with the whirlwind of conflicting emotions that Jonah experiences. Christian is a solid character with a more complicated personality than initially expected. Together, he and Jonah work well as long denied lovers who reconnect and find sparks kindle quickly and hotly.

The resolution action scene to the stalker problem was over the top and had me wondering about the laws of physics with the speed Jonah accomplishes everything. However, that is a relatively minor point amidst the story and easily overlooked. Another problem I had was the language involved in the sex scenes. Yet the language tripped me up a few times with excessive euphemisms, which began to feel slightly clinical and detached from the intensity and emotional level the author was aiming for.

Even taking these problems into consideration, the characters were likeable and the story was solidly written with tight prose. Even if the plot devices were slightly thin, you can get by them without too many problems and most romance lovers will enjoy this offering. I still recommend this book, not only for the beautiful cover art, but the story itself.

Wow, Where do I begin?? This has to be one of my fave reads this year!! Just so many awwww that so cute moments First of all I love Jonah, He is so so I don't have the best words to describe him I don't want to leave you. And they don't see each other until their Foster mum passes away.. Now that they are much older men,so so Hot Adorable Men they are drawn to each other and cant keep there hand of each other That Story is going to be Good, but its a PM, and im not into them.. But i will read it to see what happens between the three of them!!

He has never let any one in before, has no idea what a relationship is,love is and never been with a Guy before,apart from a BJ!! But he Hungers for Christian, there Love Story is just so beautiful written, i want to re read it again!! Jonah made it for me!! Quote from Christian when he was younger "I wanted you to like me so you would tell me why you're sad and mad and dont like anybody. I wanted us to be friends and even though im smaller than you i wanted to have your back and hang out with you" as one of my fave books i have read: He kills me without even trying Love Cameron Dane!!

Cant wait to read more, So far every thing i have read I have Loved!! I just have to add a few of my Fave Lines!!!! I believe I can fly now because I have you. This is the best MM I have read in awhile, and I feel like I need to lower my ratings on some of the others in order to show that more clearly.

It had the perfect balance between the emotional and physical sides of Christian and Jonah's relationship. Jonah is a classic tortured hero, which were always my favourite kind of hero in MF, but I don't think I have ever met a tortured hero in MM before. Except for maybe Fen from Ghost , but he is so complicated that we are not going to get into that righ This is the best MM I have read in awhile, and I feel like I need to lower my ratings on some of the others in order to show that more clearly.

Except for maybe Fen from Ghost , but he is so complicated that we are not going to get into that right now.

A Fostered Love

I loved Jonah and his insecurities instantly. And Christian was so sweet. I loved when we finally got the full flashback of what happened between them when they were younger. It was so sweet and sad. I cried a bit, even though I knew they would see each other again. I especially loved how their relationship started out so strong from the beginning. It wasn't just a physical attraction and they were able to admit that. There was no time wasted dancing around the facts. That left lots of time to focus on developing their relationship and it was wonderful to see.

Jonah needed Christian so much. He was his rock.

Books like A Fostered Love (Foster Siblings, #1)

They both just opened up their hearts so easily, and the things they would say to each other were beautiful. They simply belonged together. Always had, and it is so clear that I cant even separate them in my mind. They always were and always will be 'Jonah and Christian'. Jul 13, Lenore rated it liked it Shelves: I would categorize it somewhere between the Cabin Fever and the Quinten, Montana books. The main characters were OK but felt a little underdeveloped. I got the usual "good guy" vibes from him but nothing much apart from that.

I would have also liked to learn more about his relationship with his mother. How he managed to keep the balance, forgive her for letting him get swallowed by the foster care system, not trying harder to keep him and protect him as a kid. Jonah I like the name, by the way was a little too sentimental for someone who appeared as hardened and at the same time tormented by his past.

But I liked him better than Christian. But maybe that's just because I got more info about him and because he was, admittedly, the more interesting of the two. David, should I call him "the villain"?

I liked the way the author incorporated Abby, Santiago and Braden the heroes of the next book in the series in the story.

Between the home renovations, Christian's stalker ex, and Jonah overcoming his fear of intimacy, the two are hard pressed to earn their HEA. I liked this book but it wasn't the best of Dane's work. I enjoyed bot 3. I enjoyed both characters. The supporting characters Abby, Rodrigo, and Braden - who happen to be the subject of the next book in the series were flat and underwhelming IMHO.

The stalker ex storyline had promise but the resolution there was anticlimactic. I enjoyed both Christian and Jonah but their story was a little dry. I'll probably skip book two and jump to book three in this series. Sep 28, Tj rated it really liked it Shelves: It was more a 3. The premise of this story was a wonderful idea. The characters were vivid.

Get A Copy

The drawback was that everything seemed too easy which lead to a believability issue. Now don't get me wrong I really don't usually mind my romance having "reality" issues but this story seems more a "real" story than not. It really called for more reality than there seemed to be. I believe it is a solid story though and pushed all my It was more a 3.
