Love Required
by Melanie Codina
ARC received for an honest review
Love Required is the 3rd book in the Real Love series, and I have to say that this series just keeps getting better and better. Each book I keep getting drawn deeper and deeper into the lives of these characters.
Tori has had a pretty horrific past couple of years, but she is such a strong woman that she is not going to let her past keep her down.
Jason, who we have met in the previous two books, Love Realized and Love Resisted, is the kind of man we all want. Strong, possessive, alpha. But with the kindest, sweetest heart you could ever imagine. He wants the kind of love that his friends have been finding, but doesn't hold out hope that it will happen any time soon.
I think we all need a Jason.
Tori is tested over and over, and I loved watching as she, her young daughter, and Jason triumph over all the dramas that are thrown at them ~ and there is a couple of doozies, I can tell you!
Love Required has it's fair share of ups and downs. What it doesn't have is one or both the MC's umming and ahhing about having a relationship. They both want it and they both go for it. Is it all easy ~ hell no, and I love it for it!
I also love that we get more of the crazy gang that is Jason's family and friends. We get more of Jake and Gillian and their boys, more of Mike and Allie. This is such a tight-knit group of family and friends, and they are there for each other through thick and thin. The make me laugh, they make my heart break and make me smile till I feel my face might break. And I love how their group is expanding with more partners and friends as the series goes on.
I also think that every girl needs and Allie or Tessa (Tori's best friend) in their lives.
And then there is Logan. Yes, he behaved despicably in the first book, and yes he deserved everything he got. But now as time has gone by, you can feel his loneliness and his heart breaking as everyone around him is finding love.
I hope that even as much as an idiot he was when we first met him, that he does eventually get his HEA.
Ms Codina has created a series filled with characters that we can all relate to one or more of. Her writing is crisp, and the story flowed well. I look forward to reading more of her works in the future.
