Swept Into Love: Gage Ryder (Love in Bloom: The Ryders Book 5) Kindle Edition
"This book will make you swoon, laugh, and cry a ton of happy tears, by the end I was a hot emotional wreck." - Ebook Addicts
The happily ever after you've been waiting for...
In USA Today Bestseller SWEPT INTO LOVE...
It’s been years since Sally Tuft’s husband died and she was left to raise her teenage son alone. And almost as long since she told the only other man she’d ever wanted that they should be just friends. Now her son has left for college and Sally has no distractions to keep her from thinking about her best friend and coworker, Gage Ryder, and what could have been.
Gage always believed that one day Sally would move past the death of her husband and they would finally explore the passion that’s simmered between them since the day they met. Tasked with opening a new youth center in Oak Falls, Virginia, Gage hopes the trip away is just what they need to finally come together.
Before Gage and Sally ever reach Oak Falls, one night at a conference changes everything, putting their friendship—and their love—on the line, and the two must decide if getting swept up in love is the beginning of forever, or the end of their friendship as they know it.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2017I wasn't swept into love like Gage and Sally, I was utterly blown away by their romance! Honestly, I knew there was going to be some drama with Rusty (Sally's twenty year old son) and I don't usually like when a hero or heroine has to sacrifice his/her happiness in order to keep his/her children happy but I truly wanted to read Gage and Sally's story and I can't really resist to Melissa's books. Melissa Foster is one of my favorite authors and once again she amazed me with a beautiful, swooning, steamy romance that was the perfect culmination of years of true friendship.
Gage is a fiercely loyal, protective, smart, sexy, strong man and he's definitely a perfect book boyfriend. He has been in love with Sally for years. They're best friends, co-workers, their attraction has been burning hot since they met but Gage knows he has to be patient with Sally, after losing her husband she dedicated herself to her son and hasn't allow herself to fully move on, however now Rusty has left for college and they have to take a trip to open a new youth center, so Gage is incredibly hopeful that they can give in to their feelings. Will Sally be able to resist their burning red hot attraction?
Sally is a loving, protective mother who has been dodging her feelings for Gage for years. Gage is her son's confident and her best friend and she's terrified of what might happen if they get involved. She's also a sexy, beautiful, independent, sassy woman who knows exactly what who she wants, however she's fighting her feelings even though it has been years since her husband died and Gage is the epitome of a walking temptation. Will she risk their friendship and her son's close relationship with Gage to take a chance on love?
If you love romance, any type of romance, I highly recommend Swept into Love: a brilliantly written, amazing, swoony, emotional, sweet, addictive, hot best-friends-to-lovers story that can be read as a standalone. Unquestionably, a must read and a 2017 top favorite.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2017I was so excited to get Swept Into Love, book 41 in Melissa Foster's Love In Bloom Series. I have to say I was not disappointed. I absolutely loved Gage and Sally's story. I love how Melissa Foster can write a complete story yet weave snippets of other storylines from multiple books throughout her series. I have known about Gage and Sally since book one in her Sisters in Bloom series. These are two people who I've caught up with along the way and wondered if they would ever get together.
Sally got married right out of high school and had her son, Rusty right away. Then at the beginning of Sisters in Bloom, her husband dies leaving her world in turmoil. This is when Gage Ryder came into her life. He ultimately became her best friend and everyone knew his feelings for her, but it was never the right time.
Let's just say, I was not prepared for the start of this incredible story. Even after all these books Melissa Foster still knows how to shock and awe her audience. She builds an incredible story filled with humor, love and combustible chemistry. I devoured this book nearly in one setting and can't wait to see what Melissa has in store for us next.
I would highly recommend this book, as well as any other in this incredible series. The best part is you can start from the beginning, or read any of them along the way. Melissa Foster has created a world that is filled with unique characters, quick wit and incredible banter. The chemistry between each character is off the charts and I can't wait to read from the Montgomery Series.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 21, 2023Gage has been love with Sally for five years one night when they are a a conference the cross the line. They end up drunk and in bed. When they wake they find out they got married now they need to figure out how to make it work but they have to open a new youth center. And have to figure out how to tell her son. So enjoy the read and see how they get there HEA!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2024I have pulled for Gage and Sally since the first book, and their story was worth the wait. We should all be as lucky as Sally to be loved like she is!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2017What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? How's that work when you let go of your inhibitions & wake up the next morning married to your best friend, the man you've been keeping at arms length ever since you met him? Sally Tuft was left a widow at a young age & had to raise her son, Rusty alone. Just months after her husband died, she met Gage Ryder & they've been friends ever since. Gage has been there for Rusty when he needed the advice of a father figure. Sally is petrified that if they move beyond friendship & it doesn't work out, Rusty will suffer. How can she take that chance?
How long do you hang on hoping she'll change the direction of your relationship? Gage Ryder has been there for Sally & Rusty every way Sally has allowed him to. He's shown his feelings for her daily. All he hasn't done is ask her to marry him. One night in Vegas, a little too much to drink, a lowering of inhibitions & that all changed. In the morning, Sally freaks out & backpedals. Should Gage hang on or just give up?
I love this story! Gage is patient, confident, strong & sexy. Sally is nervous, scared & anxious. The back & forth interactions between them details their personalities & allows the reader to dig deeper into their emotions. The interactions between Gage & Rusty prove the father/son relationship is already present & strong. Sally needs to learn to trust her own emotions & to trust Gage & Rusty to always be there. Ms. Foster set the scene perfectly in the beginning, engaging my emotions to the extent that I couldn't put the story down! Another hot, spicy read by a great author!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sally and Gage
I can honestly say, I've been waiting for Sally and Gages story for years. It's the last Ryder falling madly in love - which is a progress for five years. All it took was one glass to much and everything changes - for the better. For both of them. But responsibilities seem to tear them apart again until one final decision gets done. Absolutely brilliant story written in a way you got to know and love of Melissa Foster. I had high expectations for this book - since I waited for ages for it to be written and it's another masterpiece.
- SMReviewed in Canada on August 18, 2017
5.0 out of 5 stars Swept into love, is exactly how you'll feel when you read this book!
Melissa Foster does it again with her ability to capture the characters in her books, as if they are real and apart of your friends and family... if you are a fan of her work you've been patiently waiting for Gage and Sally to finally become a couple! This book does not disappoint, she captures the trials of a single mom and the patients of a man who loves to the depths of his soul... SIGH...
Gage is a dream, he not only loves Sally unconditionally but he also loves her son the same. He's dedicated the last several years to making sure Sally and Rusty were safe and had a shoulder to lean on when things were to much to handle. All he while trying not to scare Sally away by making a move that was to soon...
Sally struggled constantly with always making others happy, especially her son, her boss and friend Danica but finally is starting to see that her happiness has been put on hold for long enough... it's time to take what makes her happy and Gage is definitely what makes her happy, thankfully a trip to Vegas some shooters and everything changes...
Melissa Foster captures that feeling of how a older women younger man romance would feel for both sides and brought humour to it! If your over 37 you can sympathize which Sally and definitely appreciate her fears.
Great book, easy read...
- MLM 66Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 15, 2017
5.0 out of 5 stars It’s been a long wait but it was so worth it.!!
Swept into Love takes you right back to where it all began. We met Sally and Gage in the very first book Sisters in Love that was four years ago for me, but I remember that story like yesterday.
Melissa Foster has delivered another beautiful story. There were often hints early on about Sally and Gage becoming more but it’s all about the timing and now was definitely their time.
After being away for the week Sally and Gage come back married, the way it happened couldn’t have been better, it’s been five years in the making. Whilst they’ve enjoyed their alone time together they are now back home and back to reality.
Sally and Gage decide to keep their marriage on the down low for now the main reason for that is Rusty, after loosing his father, Gage has always been there for both him and Sally but Sally is worried what Rusty will think about them being married.
Well of course it’s not long before their cover is blown but Rusty still doesn’t know yet. You are so caught up with how Rusty might react to his mum and Gage thinking that is going to be the main concern, you are not prepared for what happens next.
Rusty has everyone worried for a while add to that the all important reveal and it doesn’t get off to a good start but the situation soon calms down.
There are some very touching and emotional moments throughout I think it’s a combination of knowing the whole situation and history surrounding Sally, Dave, Rusty and Gage. It was very sad when Sally lost her first husband it impacted on all those concerned so it’s even more reason now to be happy for Sally. Gage and Rusty they got there in the end...what a beautiful epilogue..!

5.0 out of 5 stars She's done it again
Another amazing, love filled and beautifully written story. Every time I read one of Melissa Fosters books I fall in love again. Gage and Sally have FINALLY got their groove on after such a long time. Fantastic happy ever after for a couple who really deserved it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Melissa for yet another brilliant story.
