jd66: I adored this story. Hunter broke my heart. His life made me so sad. I’m so happy that they found each other. Ava was perfect for him. As always full of family, drama, love and friendship. Wonderful narration too.

Kindle Customer: Ava and Hunter are the perfect mixture of sass and pig headed. Their fight through the hurt and feeling unloved changed the second they met, I think Mr. Owens knew deep down that when they cross paths, they will find love and peace with each other. Great book

Did not disappoint me as an avid romance reader.

Aayushma Singh: It was so beautiful. The part where Hunter professed his love, the part were he met the family. It was overwhelmingly beautiful.

Good Romances Reader: I thought there couldn't be much more to say about the BAM/ABC saga. So many books had been written and I did read all of them. So when I found out there still was one more available, AGE OF AVA, I was not so keen about it. I was wrong. In the beginning the story is slow to develop, but Mrs. Moreland beautiful writing gave me enormous reading pleasure up to the end. It is the story of strong love, caring, determination to conquer our own happiness, in spite of inmost frailties and throwbacks. It isn't an easy story to write, it takes a very good One to do it. I look forward to a new book from Mrs. Moreland in the New year. Best wishes.

Sabrina Marks: As always Melanie Moreland has knocked it out of the park! Each successive piece added to this incredible series and the family within it's pages just keeps getting better!
Getting to knows Ava as the series has continued has been a treat. Knowing she has a soft side and finally getting the chance to see more of it was such a delightful experience. Ava is so tough, and can handle anything. She's so well loved she's pretty secure in most everything. Except romantic love or relationships.
Until Hunter........
Hunter Owens doesn't know anything about love, on any level, friendship, or family. Never remembering the love he received from his grandparents, Hunter learned to drift from place to place. A horrible gift instilled in him by his mother. Finally learning of the cottage his grandfather left him, he goes to claim it. With thoughts of restoring the cottage and turning it into a rental, he begins the work by getting the necessary paperwork in order. With a trip to the county office, and a chance encounter, he meets the one woman who will change his world. Ava.
In the months that follow even as Hunter falls for Ava steadily, and she for him, Hunter...

Tracy ~ Book Loving Pixies: I loved this instalment of the ABC CORP series.
We’ve caught up a few times with Ava Callaghan throughout her brothers books and know she’s got a good heart and is fierce when it comes to those she loves….. what we didn’t see is that she never expected the kind of love and connection that her siblings have found for herself….. until she ran into Hunter Owens.
This pair a some similarities in their views of relationships but where Hunter was a a loner, having never experienced family life, Ava was so family oriented and the thought of never having that was foreign and unthinkable to her.
Gods, my heart broke for Hunter at times. The life he’d been dragged up in, his belief that he was meant to be alone and that no one had or could love him as so sad. Meeting Ava was a game changer for him, it was kind frustrating that he couldn’t or wouldn’t acknowledge how his life old be if he just believed in both of them.
We had the always fun interactions with the whole family, let’s face it, with a clan that size and as determined as they are (the women especially) to make people see what’s right in front of them, Hunter really never stood a...

Franci Neill: I'm loving this second-generation series so much and I've been so looking forward to Ava's story and who would be the man for her... well Hunter definitely challenges her on every front... but it leads to some delicious tension between our H/h!
These two start off being on the same side so to speak and Hunter gets a glimpse of Ava in all her business glory and I was chuckling during these initial scenes because it was very clear there was a draw for each of them, but would they act on it?? One of the things I loved so much about this book is when Ava finds out that Hunter is their new neighbor being the grandson of their previous neighbor who “tolerated” Ava at best and good lord when they see each other it was hard to tell who was more shocked!!
Hunter is rather surly and kind of rubbed me the wrong way sometimes and Ava could kind of see beneath that façade that he’s built around himself, and she’s determined to crack that hard shell. And for Hunter, as much as he doesn’t want to admit Ava is wiggling her way into this heart just made their encounters that much more fabulous!!
I loved how everyone in the Callaghan family gets involved in this...

Pamela Waddell: Why does Melanie do this to me. Every book is the best I've read then, boof she does it again. More magic.
Ava and Hunter's story is mix of romance and intense emotion. Ava had an idiliac up bringing in a loving supportive family. She'd had her twists and turns. Her job is taxing, being a woman in a man's world doesn't make it easier and her romantic life, well her ex was less than supportive, but her family was always there. She's a strong, confident, driven woman, but with a vulnerability most don't see.
Hunter has essentially been on his own since he was 5 when his mum dragged him from his grandparents home even though she didn't really want him. She skewed his whole concept of love. Having been alone his whole life he struggles to connect until he almost knocks Ava on her butt. Their connection is intense and instant but he has no idea what it is or what to do with it. Which leads to a emotionally tumultuous ride for them both.
Melanie gets into your heart with her characters every time. She plays with you emotions as if you were one of her characters, in stories masterfully interwoven with humour and an intriguing narrative. In the background we have all the...

Loved how she, then the family, just slowly chipped away at all his built up layers. and how he let them, as he began to believe inside that he didn’t need that protection anymore.
