Friendship on Fire is the sixth book in the Love in Bloom series. While Friendship on Fire can be experienced as a standalone novel, for even more listening enjoyment you may want to hear the Love in Bloom series in series order.

Small-town overachiever Riley Banks has finally scored her big break - working in Manhattan as a fashion design assistant for her childhood crush, Josh Braden. She enters her new job hoping to make a name for herself and - just maybe - explore the romance that slipped through her fingers way back when.

Josh Braden has models at his beck and call, a staff that never says never, and an elegant clothing line for the holiday season. When he hires Riley Banks, he expects her to learn the business from the ground up. But the girl next door turns out to be much more than he remembered.

Josh and Riley's friendship heats up. Every steamy kiss and every erotic caress stirs a love they cannot deny. But when Riley designs a wedding gown that would cause even the most jaded fashion editors to swoon, Riley's mentor accuses her of stealing the design.

Facing indisputable proof and the mistrust of her lover, Riley is not sure she can take the heat of life in the fast lane of the fashion industry - and Josh is forced to choose between the woman he loves and the career he adores.

Content warning: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18-plus.

I received this audiobook free for an honest review. Love this Series. The author does an excellent job of telling a story that gets your blood running with the suspense and romance. Couldn't put this audiobook down. Just like all the others. The author is very talented at developing each of the characters with their individual personalities. Because of that, they are easy to remember throughout the series. Although I would prefer duet narration, the narrator does a good job with each of the characters and their personalities.

A Great Fashionable Romance with a Twist

Oh man, I love Riley and Josh's story. Friendship is such a strong foundation to build love upon and these two are the perfect example of it. The love, humor, and just awe moments are wonderful in this story and I love the ability to listen to the story as I do my daily work and homework. Believe it or not, it makes anything more entertaining when you get to hear a Melissa Foster love story.

Friendship on Fire (The Bradens at Wesont, CO #3) was another great read by Melissa Foster. I loved reading Josh and Riley’s story, we met them in Destined for Love. Riley has come from a small town and has finally gotten her big break as a fashion design assistant in Manhattan. She is working for her childhood crush, Josh. Their friendship heated up while she worked for him. I loved reading this book and I can’t wait to read more by Melissa Foster. B.J. Harrison did a great job of narrating the book and keeping you enthralled in what is happening to the characters.

What did you love best about Friendship on Fire?

Riley Banks has finally seen her dreams start to come true. She has a job as a fashion design assistant in Manhattan working for her high school crush, Josh Braden. Josh and Riley’s friendship heats up quickly once she gets settled into Josh’s sisters apartment and starts her new job. With steamy kisses and hot caresses their love blooms and they cannot deny their feelings. When Riley’s mentor, Claudia, accuses her of stealing a design from her, Riley’s is doubting her life as a fashion designer and her life with Josh.


Melissa Foster did not disappoint. With each book in this series I have seriously crushed on the leading men. Josh fell right into that crush area. He is sexy, rich, independent, and successful. He is also loving, faithful, and protective of those he loves. I love that each of the leading women in the books is also successful and strong willed. Riley does not let Josh walk over her, whether in their love life or in her career. She struggles with Josh’s love and how their relationship will be perceived in their work place.

This series of books are easy to read. Fun, easy, sexy, and oh so steamy. Friendship on Fire showed real life struggles, family values (standing by what you believe), and love. I highly recommend this book and the entire series to all chic-lit lovers.

Fun, easy, sexy, and oh so steamy.

I really enjoyed this story and having New York City as the backdrop, even better. Watching Josh and Riley realize their true feelings toward each other but having to walk that fine line of going public or keeping their relationship private, was very interesting. I loved meeting Mia and all the other personalities at JBD, and I was oh so happy when Claudia got what she deserved. As always, I loved the Braden family being there for each other and the ending was perfect for these two fashion designers. Great story by Melissa Foster. I listened to this story as an audiobook narrated by B.J. Harrison. I enjoy his narration and liked how he narrated Josh and his sophistication and Claudia and her air of haughtiness. I always feel like he does a good job with Hal’s narration as well. My favorite part of the audiobook was the conversion between Hal and Josh at the restaurant, perfect moment which made me tear up. He is always consistent with his narration.

Great Story!

Melissa Foster always has a story to warm my heart! I love Riley and Josh! These two are made for each other. Riley comes to New York to start her new job and is recognized immediately for amazing talent. Working for Josh, her childhood crush is just icing on the cake. When he takes a personal interest in her, she is hesitant to go public. After all, people the office will talk about how she got her job. There is one person who is particularly interested in Josh, and as trouble mounts, so does suspicion... in Riley. Will Josh and Riley flush out the truth? Will Riley just give up? Will this end their relationship? You will have to listen to find out! The story is wonderful! Riley is passionate about her work, and about Josh. Independent and excited to grow, she is quite a woman. Josh is private, and Riley has broken through his barrier. It's a treat to see him like this and how he handles situations. Plus we get to see our previous Bradens which makes it all feel like coming home. I love Josh's dad and how he talks to his mom, and how his brother's bring the sagest of advice. It's a story you have to grab and enjoy!

BJ Harrison continues his wonderful narration of this series. He is spot on with his voices and I love how he is consistent from book to book. It's makes listening a pleasure.

Ah, Josh!

Another great book by Melissa and another great narration by RJ! I love being able to revisit this series but by listening during my commute. Riley and Josh's story is about a childhood crush turned adult crush and a great business partnership forms.

Audiobook: Narrator - B.J. Harrison

I’m really enjoying this narrator’s performance of this series! He brings a whole other level to the stories than reading alone would do. With a voice that invokes deep emotion, I’m highly addicted to not only him but the Bradens!


I was excited to get Josh and Riley’s story! Their relationship skirted the edges of taboo as she is his employee, but they’ve both had each other in their sights since they were young. Watching them connect and make it work was wonderful. There was a lot of other woman drama that caused the angst level to really ratchet up but I loved how they overcame the issues.

This has a great pace to it that never bogged down and a steam level that had me making sure no one was nearby to overhear what I was listening to. I loved seeing characters from the previous books and getting a few clues on what might be coming up next. I’m absolutely loving the Bradens!!

Lived up to my expectations of perfection!

The Braden’s are an amazing family. Josh is tall dark handsome and successful. Riley is the girl from home who was adored from afar . Now they get their chance if the jealous Cruellas can just leave them alone. I am getting used to the narrator l. It took me awhile but I loved the story and I am finding that while not my favorite narrator he grows on you ;)
