Melanie Moreland

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

New York Times/WSJ/USAT International bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of thirty-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.

While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample. She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.

Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling downstairs), and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She's learned happily-ever-afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.

Keep up with Melanie

    Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2020

    I have loved all of Melanie's books, but her Vested Interest series simply stole my heart. It all started with Bentley, but Sandy was a part of all the books from the get go. I always hoped that we would get her story and she's have her own HEA. To say that this book did her justice is a complete understatement!!! This book was everything wrapped up in a story that I read in hours because I couldn't put it down!
    Sandy has always been the glue of BAM. She 's also been the surrogate mother to all of them. She is loved, valued, and respected by all the men involved with BAM. Simply put, she's amazing!!
    Jordan works for BAM and has seen what Sandy means to the office. He's also been her friend for years. They were each married to other people, who they eventually lost to illness. This left them on their own for the first time in decades and lonely. Jordan had been attracted to Sandy for awhile but didn't feel she was ready to accept him as a romantic partner. So, he bided his time.
    All it took was a lunch date for them to start exploring a relationship. It was beautiful to watch. As a woman in her fifties, this gave me hope that age doesn't slow down romance!! They had friendship and passion that was just amazing! It wasn't all smooth sailing, but like mature adults, they worked through whatever bumps that came across. I'm so happy that they did too!!!
    Of course, all the BAM guys were there to play the protective son's! It was wonderful to see all of them together, I've missed them. It's sad to think that this series is over, but it went out with a spectacular story!!
    This book will give you all the feels. I laughed, swooned, cried happy and sad tears, and rejoiced in family. So well worth it!!

    My heart. And now time to say goodbye. The BAM series has come to an end. Even though this is a standalone, I would recommend reading the series in order.

    Both Jordan and Sandy have a lot in common. They work for BAM, their age, are both single now that their first loves have passed, and now looking toward the future. Several years have gone by, more years for Jordan, and both of them are contemplating the idea of a relationship. Sandy, wants more of a friendship..so she thinks but Jordan feels ready for a relationship. And he already has his sites on Sandy. He has been attracted to her for some time but never felt ready and knew she wasn’t ready. So when he gets word that Sandy has a profile on a dating site, he jumps.

    This is all pretty predictable but so sweet. Loved Jordan so much. I didn’t agree with the drama section but I will overlook this time lol. Quickly resolved and on to the HEA. Love the update on ALL the BAM couples and their families and so happy that everyone found love. Great book and series.

    There are so many things I want to say that I do not know where to start. Another AMAZING book by Melanie Moreland. A great a great writer that has me transported into the story as if I am there. If you are reading this post believe me when I say I LOVE the BAM family. The storyline and characters are phenomenal length spot the with Some twists but not overly ridiculous. ALWAYS love when characters return and babies are included. I just need to give a huge shout out to Melanie for the awesome epilogue!!!! Lately my readings from other authors give three paragraphs and call it done. Melanie gave a long fantastic epilogue other authors should strive towards. Then...Melanie included a bonus reading! If the epilogue is an indication of future writing I am all in and excited. If I could not already LOVE her work...this secured how much I enjoy her writing. I would highly recommend any of Melanie's books and be confident most readers would as well. Now, to be fair, this is not my typical style reading material. My normal go to reading material is bdsm. However, whatever Melanie writes I can say I will purchase and confident I will enjoy reading. This series will be one in five a multiple re-read for me. THANK YOU MELANIE!!!

    I enjoyed this series. All of the books were entertaining but Reid was my favorite…something about his book touched me in a visceral way. Maddox’s book spoke to me as well but Reid had me in tears. I read the series in a week, one book per day and truly enjoyed them. The last book Sandy was the icing on the cake and truly appreciated for the matured audience. Thank you M&M, first time reader and your books were the antidote needed for the string of bad books I’ve read the past couple of weeks. 😉

    Melanie is just determined to make us go thru the tissues when we read her books, and Sandy is definitely no different. It is full of heart and family and love and humor.

    Ever since Max passed, I've been waiting for Sandy's second chance at romance because there was no way she was being left on the shelf to collect dust.

    This was everything I'd hoped for!!

    She and Jordan, once fellow widowers sharing their grief, become everything the other needs. They loved their spouses but they're still young and both of them are lonely.

    I love how the 'boys' react initially to their Sandy rejoining the world of dating. That the women are the ones who get things moving. And that Jordan is already part of the family.

    Heartwarming and passionate and absolutely, fantabulous!! Stars to infinity!

    It was fantastic reading a book with an actual mature couple in it too!! And, omgoodness, they are just as passionate as everyone else!!

    Loved, loved, loved!! Frisky, fiesty, fun, and fabulous!!

    I received a review copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

    The last book of this very good series brought a perfect ending to the story of the BAM boys, with Sandy’s story, the mother figure who loved them and helped guide their personal lives along the way. She gets her happy ending too. I really enjoyed these characters.
