A Fostered Love
This would be in my favourites from him. A Fostered Love is full of hot sex, sweet enough characters and a great plot. Jonah and Christan's story will not be for everyone, some might find the sex too much, others wont like the story. But I found this to be a brilliant book.

Jonah and Christian met as teenagers. They were foster brothers. Jonah was the "troubled teen" and Christia This book was hot. Jonah was the "troubled teen" and Christian the "good little boy". No relationship stated then, but they had a friendship. One that ended when Jonah was arrested. I liked the way their past was described. It gave me something to base their foundation on. I found myself liking Jonah more than Christian in this. He had been through more in a lot of ways and because he was conflicted a lot, I found myself with a lot of sympathy for him.
Christian had his struggles too. The present day one kind of made me want to slap something or someone. But how everything was dealt with was great. Overall I would say this was a very good entertaining book. I wont be reading the next one because mmf is not my thing. But for all Cameron Dane fans or fans of mm romance, try this!

I will buy a book on the strength of a good cover. I also liked the premise of the book when I first read it, it attracted me to take a read. I haven't read any of Ms Dane's books until now and I'm glad I did because it was a sweet, sexy read. It's been said already, Jonah and Christian are back to what was once their home after the death of their devoted foster mother, Marisol. They aren't the onl First of all, loved the cover. They aren't the only ones, two other characters, Abby and Rodrigo, have also been through Marisol's foster home and are helping as well.
They are terrific characters one and all, you easily become invested emotionally in them. I can fully understand why they turned up to help with the renovations, to show respect for Marisol's life. They have their own little quirks and do things that can get on one anothers nerves, just like real life, and it makes them all the more likeable for mine. I loved the chemistry that was, somewhat, pre existing, and most certainly building between Christian and Jonah as they got to know one another as men.
They were all kinds of hot whilst building their respective interest in one another and that all kinds of hot, ramped up exponentially when they got together. Christian was a nice guy who had made a poor choice with his last partner, David, that story built nicely alongside Christian and Jonah's burgeoning relationship. Jonah had been through the juvenile detention system and really didn't like himself, felt unworthy, even though he had become quite an astute businessman.
This built on the back of his family life prior to Marisol's and JD. I liked the slight angst that came with it, it never became too much and never ended up being this tortured, eye rolling inner monologue that can bog stories down.

While the characters had moments of what if, they were both still willing to see where the relationship would take them and enjoyed their time together. While the MC's were sweet, they were believable and that's why I felt connected to them and the story. Sometimes sweet can mean boring, not the case here at all. I enjoyed the journey and felt the ending was good, leaving me completely satisfied and happy for Christian and Jonah. This is my first Cameron Dane read and I have now bought several more of her books based on the strength of A Fostered Love.
If you like sweet with sexy this book should satisfy. This book had a great premise but sadly, for me, it didn't deliver. I found both main characters underdeveloped. Like everybody I like sex scenes in my books, but this story has way too many, and this is not a good think every time, because in my opinion in some way affects the story.
The sex scenes between MC were just…mehhh…. I found the storyline a little boring and the twist with this guy David was soooo predictable. Overall, this book was just ok for me and barely hold my interest! Sep 02, orannia rated it really liked it Shelves: Three and three-quarter stars. I'm in two minds about this book. On one hand I loved the premise, but Yes, one of the characters - Tim - in By Degrees was in foster care, but in By Degrees the foster care is part of the back story.
In A Fostered Love it plays a far bigger role. And this might seem Three and three-quarter stars. And this might seem weird but I actually wanted less sex scenes in this book. They felt mechanical in a way - I really missed the emotional connection. I wanted to know what the characters were feeling, instead of a step-by-step guide, which is kind of how it felt. And maybe that's just where I'm at ATM. I also found it rather weird that right at the end of the book, in the middle of the 'big' emotional discussion the characters had sex And yes, maybe it helped one character express himself, but..
And, to be honest, I still don't understand why the characters fell in love. This is becoming a big issue with me. In book after book characters profess love for each other, or 'discover' they are in love. I want to see the process, not suddenly have it presented to me with a big shiny bow.
Isn't half the fun of a present unwrapping it Or maybe that's just me I did enjoy the banter between the secondary characters Rodrigo and Abby though and was thrilled to discover there is a sequel, which yes I want to read. Don't get me wrong, I didn't not like this book I just wanted more of an emotional connection with the characters Aug 14, Sandra rated it liked it Shelves: Just overly flowery and too formal in the way they discussed their emotions.
Talking like you're in a romance novel in my romance novel! Self-deprecating 'tough-guy' constantly apologizing for stuff that's not even a big deal and in general, being a big fat weirdo. We just had one, it was hot, but it was also thorough. A repeat just gets boring. Save it for a few chapters from now, poor Christians ass could not take this kind of abuse. Icky synonym's for 'asshole'. In order of frequency - rectum , flaming channel, quivering sphincter, anus.

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.
‘Outsiders’ Star Breaks Down Season 2 Finale, ‘Potential’ for Season 3 – Variety
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.

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! Wade follows Meyers to a meeting with Gordon. He confronts Meyers with this information, but Meyers says that Gordon is helping the federal authorities in an operation to catch the Farrells in the act of using the dynamite. Wade tracks down Gordon, who tells him that he has misled One Planet and the feds by telling him the Farrells are targeting the One Planet offices in town.
The elders of the clan decide to let Foster lead his raid, but if any more Farrell blood is shed, he will be banished. They make it within the perimeter fence at the old mine, but the guards inside quickly spot them and begin firing at them with assault rifles before they can plant any bombs. Wade arrives just as the Farrells are retreating.
The three remaining Farrells still have some dynamite and decide to blow up a dam near the mine instead. Big Foster agrees to light the fuse, saying if anyone else is to die it must be him. As Elon backs away from the edge, the dam begins to collapse and sends a massive torrent down toward the old mining site, flooding it and destroying all the war machines. The next morning, Wade is dealing with aftermath of the dam explosion. The nurse Wade called tells Ledda that he needs to be taken to a hospital or he will die.
Outside town, Gordon is sitting in a bar, dropping a flash drive with all of his One Planet information into an envelope addressed to Wade. Big Foster returns triumphant to the clan, saying the raid was a success. Big Foster lays claim to the oak, and fighting ensues among the family. Little Foster picks up the oak and says it has been a curse on the entire family and promptly snaps it over his knee. I think that Little Foster is in a way is someone she thinks has very similar ideas as her as to how to lead the clan, but is also someone that is close to her so she can still be involved.
Perhaps this was something she was waiting for him to do all along. And while Season 3 is by no means a guarantee, Alexy has some storylines she would like to see explored if the show is picked up by another network or streaming service. What is something that would push her to her edge?
