Purchase options and add-ons

Bella had watched her friends find the men of their dreams, while she'd wasted the last year with a man that had barely touched her. After meeting the mysterious business man, Joshua, she was hopeful he’d add some passion to her life. Only he kept leaving town, and had his longtime friend, Ava, house sit for him. What was up with that?
Joshua was finishing up a two-year expat assignment overseas and couldn’t wait to get back home to the USA for good. Especially after meeting the sexy Italian beauty, Bella, who he hoped would still be single when he got back to Michigan.
Ava had other plans in mind for Josh, and they didn’t include Bella.
Joshua is the fifth novel in the Risking Love series. The stories chart a group of friends through life and love. These steamy stories will have you laughing, crying, and your heart racing.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Callie started in the book business as a bookstore manager, which was the perfect place for her since she was an avid reader. After two years, she moved to the corporate office as a buyer and eventually became a senior book buyer. This was a rewarding career that she loved.

Along the way, Callie became a stay-at-home mom but couldn't give up working around books altogether. She volunteered to run the book fairs in her small farm town. At the same time, Callie started and ran A Child Oasis Company with the sole purpose of placing a small book library in the homes of all the needy children in the nearby city.

As her children became teens, Callie found she needed more in her personal life than the volunteer mom for the schools. She sat down at the computer and began to write. To see what she’s been up to go to Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/-/e/B07BN5PXDF.

    Bella is a warm and passionate woman of Italian heritage. She can go from 0 to 100 is a matter of seconds. Joshua designs cars that do that, but he’s at a loss on how to please—or anticipate the feelings—of a woman who’s quick to irritate but also quick to laugh and live and love. Add to the trouble, a father who expects Josh to take over their successful horse farm and a horse fam neighbor who has been in love with Josh since they were children. Bella has someone interested in her, too. She’s spent the previous year waiting for a love interest to show her that he loved her, and unfortunately when he made his feelings known it was for someone else. Now she wants a man to love her with passion. She has two choices. Will Joshua figure out what it takes to win Bella’s heart in time for her to choose him?

    This is book 5 of the Risking Love series, and Joshua is every bit as great as the others! Ms. Carmen knows how to make her characters shine and Bella certainly does that. Joshua is perfect as the guy who wants to do right by Bella but just doesn’t quite know how to do it. Until he does. Recommended!

    ‘Joshua’ is book five in Callie Carmen’s ‘Risking Love’ series.
    Set mostly in a secluded mountainside getaway, this story has a distinctly different feel from earlier works such as ‘Patrick’ and ‘Anthony’. While most of Callie’s stories are set in the asphalt jungles of suburbia and urbania, this story has a much more rural feel to it. You can almost hear the birds singing as you read, and the lush setting comes alive as the story slowly plays itself out.
    Bella is a feisty woman of Italian ancestry, and Joshua is a down-home boy from Kentucky. In some sense they’re polar opposites, two people from two different worlds trying to find common ground… and love.
    If only Ava weren’t standing between them, ever conniving and manipulative…
    ‘Joshua’ continues Callie Carmen’s tradition of complex, often tense character interactions. She has stated in a number of interviews that there are autobiographical elements in her stories, and it shows. ‘Risking Love’ is a series with a lot of heart, and ‘Joshua’ is a solid addition to the saga.

    I binge-read Joshua overnight - everything about the book had me hooked from the start to the finish. The characters had just sprung from the pages to life, and I loved the dialogue, keeping me on my toes.

    I have to admit, I enjoyed the drama - it was just the right dose and I was pulled into the tension between Bella and meddling Ava. I was wondering, who will Joshua choose?

    Joshua was my ideal hunky hero - he was straightforward sexy and confident. I loved Bella - she had legs of steel, not letting anyone (eg. Ava) rain on her parade. I was cheering for her all the way!

    I loved this latest book in the Risking Love series by Callie Carmen - it was the perfect way to unwind and escape into the world of romance.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 19, 2020
    Joshua is a rock, stable, go-getting and mostly sensible. Bella is so insecure I doubt she knows, most days, where her life is at. There are times when i wondered if this romance would survive, but Bella knows one thing for sure, Joshua is the one for her to share her life with.
    Callie uses her own life experiences in the setting for the first part of her story. Lakes, small islands and sailboats, .....idyllic. Yet this romances sexy scenes seem destined to frustrate Bella and Joshua as interruptions occur from different sources to bring each one to a halt before they reach a climax, lol. A very engaging story that will delight all you romance story lovers, with enough sexy edge to keep you excited. all the way through
