He Loves Me Knot

This was such a sweet romcom. I devoured it and am still thinking about it. I can’t wait for others to read it!

This was such a fun read and i Really really want to visit costa rica now! But not in rainy season… 😅 Liddy and Callum had the perfect meet cute but then a twist keeps them apart for over 2 years…. And in 2 years A LOT OF miscommunication and misunderstanding can happen…. Which creates one of the main troupes of the story!

The angst that comes with this book is sooo good and just right! I love the back and forth and I hate the back and forth! 😂😅 but it was so well written it’s one of the best miscommunication troupes ive read!

Not to mention my FAVOURITE troupe of all fake dating! Did i already say well written this was? I loved it!! So make sure you go get this on release day!!! On July 16!!

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

This is my first time reading Annabelle McCormack and this was such a cute book. So many cute tropes! One bed, fake dating, forced proximity! I loved it! I read this book in one sitting, just couldn't put it down. I also loved the adventure the couple went on after the dress. Will definitely read more!

This book is an absolute delight. Featuring the perfect blend of fake dating, boss/employee, forced proximity, and the classic one bed trope; the story is a joyride from start to finish. The amazing banter kept me laughing out loud, and the fun, relatable characters made the book impossible to put down. The easy writing style made for a breezy, enjoyable read. Five stars for this charming and entertaining romance!

okay wait what i finished this in one sitting 😂 LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! this book started right out the gate and i loved it - it’s set in london/costa rice and i loved the complete opposite setting! it FELT like i was reading a vacation and having a vacation myself! Lydia (liddy) and Callum - who have A LOT of history- were so cute and two unhinged peas in a pod i loved them so much. i loved the disability rep with liddy and i love callums arc- not many books have MMCs who have amazing growth stories and dive into them and j really loved his ending. i didn’t realize this is the second book and elle has her own - im going to read that one next 😝 also dying to find out who the next book will be about!!! logan??

Special thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book!
All thoughts and opinions are my own.

"He Loves Me Knot" by Annabelle McCormack delivers a sizzling romance set against the backdrop of a destination wedding in Costa Rica. Lydia and her boss, Callum, fake a relationship, leading to a week of misadventures and unexpected passion. McCormack crafts a compelling tale of fake love with real consequences, blending humor, heat, and heartfelt moments.

Lydia is having a bad day. First, she gets stuck on a flight to Costa Rica--for her sister's destination wedding--with her prickly boss, Callum. Then, her sister's priceless wedding dress is seemingly stolen by a hottie on her flight. Now, the only way through this mess is to rely on Callum's help. But he has a price. A little fake dating to help get his mother and ex off his back.

McCormack knows how to write a book! I loved this one. Here's what I loved:

Lydia and Cal: These two had such chemistry. I loved them together. Lydia is a ball of energy while Cal is more uptight and grumpy. But together it works so well. I couldn't wait for them to get together for real. And when they do...the spice is perfect!

The exotic local: I loved seeing Costa Rica in this book. From the phone stealing monkeys to the food markets with hot peppers, you get swept away to this country in the best ways possible.

The families: I loved all of the families in this book. Lydia's grandmother in particular is perfect comic relief!

All in all, this is an adorable and spicy romcom!

Thank you to the author for the gifted copy!
