Call Her Mine is such a wonderful read. You will fall in love with Ben and Aurelia. They are best friends and always got each other's backs. And in Call Her Mine I love how Aurelia doesn't even hesitate when Ben's surprise baby shows up on his doorstep. Ben is so sworn worthy with how he steps up to be an amazing dad to his daughter. I love how natural Ben and Aurelia are with baby B. Aurelia is amazing. I love how you can just feel the love between Ben and Aurelia before anything even comes out between them. You will just love Bens family. You will laugh out loud through this one as Ben and Aurelia navigate being first-time parents. I loved this one so much and I can't wait to return to Harmony Pointe for more.

This book is Melissa Foster gold and definitely one of my absolute favorites of hers to date. Call Her Mine is a friend's to lovers story with a unique spin of an abandoned baby thrown in.
After a baby is left on playbook billionaire Ben Daltons doorstep, it throws him and his best friend Aurelia Stark together. It's confirmed that the baby is Ben's daughter, whom they call Bea and the hunt is then on to find her mother. What transpires made me cry huge tears. Ben and Aurelia admit that they have always been in love with each other.
Ben and Aurelia's story is romance story perfection and I can't recommend highly enough.

When best friends are in love with each other but don't tell the other one can cause hard feelings. They both fear if they tell the other one how they really feel, it'll be cause of a friendship break up and neither want that. The timing always seem to be off for these two.

I absolutely loved Ben and Aurelia as a couple and as individuals. When Ben is left the unexpected gift of a baby, they're both all thumbs (Ben is super adorable and cute in this capacity) but then they turn it all around. They read everything they can about parenting and Ben can't put the baby down no matter what. Super cute and swoon worthy.

When Ben finally admits how he really feels to Rels will she believe it's about the baby or is he finally admitting that he feels the same way she does? What will her heart believe?

This was cute but not fabulous. I haven’t read any Melissa Foster before, so I felt a little like the new kid in an established friend group, as secondary characters who’ve clearly appeared in previous books kept parading through the story.

Best friends Aurelia and Ben have each been secretly in love with the other since they were teenagers, but for some reason neither has told the other or figured it out. When a surprise baby appears on Ben’s doorstep in an actual basket, along with an unsigned note saying that he’s the father, the two are forced to figure out this complicated situation and their relationship.

No spoilers here, but there is a twist near the end that had me saying oh, come ON as I read it. So this was a pleasantly entertaining book, but not my favorite.

Ben Dalton is an ultra swoon-worthy father. When sweet baby B is left on his door step and he gets over the initial fear of a baby, he becomes super dad and instantly falls in love with the sweet baby. Not only his is falling for Baby B, but also his best friend, Aurelia. At least he is finally admitting to her that he wants her and wants a relationship.
I LOVED every single moment of this book. From the very first word to the final word I was completely hooked on this story.
Ben and Aurelia’s friendship is truly beautiful. I love that these two would do anything for each other and how much they will do for each other. Their first interactions with Baby B had me laughing at times. They were so clueless at times, it led to some priceless and sweet moments. I LOVE the entire Dalton family and I can’t wait for more of these characters and this town in future books. They are hilarious and their love for each other is great.
This story was unexpected in so many ways for me. It was sweet, romantic, swoony, but it was also emotional in some parts. I wasn’t expecting this to be so emotional but it was perfect for the story.
Whether you’ve read Melissa Foster or not this is one friends to lovers romance that you will want to check out!

I give this book 5 stars. The storyline between Aurelia and Ben was well written and a great must read book. Melissa Foster did a great job writing this story. Can two best friends come together in a complicated situation? I whole heartedly recommend this book. I voluntarily reviewed this Advanced Readers Copy of this book.

I believe this is my first Melissa Foster book, even though I've seen her name floating out there before. I don't know much about her other books, but I just adored the story. You can tell there are several books that came before this one because there are a lot of characters thrown around. It was a little confusing at times not knowing who was who but I was able to power through. This story was just fun, i dont know how else to describe it. Ben and Aurelia were adorable. I had such a grin on my face through most of it. There was a blip towards the end that got me misty-eyed, but luckily it didn't last long. This is a mostly light and fluffy read, it was just plain fun, I enjoyed it a lot. These two characters were just easy to root for. And I liked that the storyline was a little bit different than a lot out there. It didn't feel cookie cutter to me at all. But it definitely makes me wonder what took me so long to read anything by this author.

This was my first book from this author and I really enjoyed it. The story was really good, the characters had great chemistry. I felt at the end of this book like I knew these characters and we were friends. Great book.

I was so excited when I got the email to sign up to read Call Her Mine! I loved the Sugar Lake Series and getting to go back and visit the Dalton's for a while was great!

Ben and Aurelia's story was an absolute joy to read! I love a romance between a genuinely nice man and a sweet woman. Melissa Foster continues her streak of creating just that!

Wonderful main characters. Equally wonderful secondary characters.

Passion.

Humor.

And always just enough heartbreak to make the happy ever after that much sweeter!

I ❤ Ben Dalton! And I think you will too!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐/5 as per usual from Melissa Foster.

This is a book you won't want to miss!

What a perfect start to the new Harmony Pointe Series. If friends to lovers is a genre you enjoy then look no further than Call Her Mine it’s a story that has it all as two best friends become so much more when a baby is left on one of their doorsteps......
Ben Dalton may think he is being honest with everyone but truth be told he has hidden his true feelings for his best friend Aurelia Stark for many years....
Aurelia loves her new life in the small town of Harmony Pointe, she has a great apartment and is running her own bookstore and best of all the love of her life is no longer living just around the corner. Maybe now she can start her own life and move on without Ben always popping up...
But what happens when a baby is left on Ben’s doorstep... yes you guessed it Aurelia once again comes to her best friends rescue will the time they spend together finally convince them of the love the both feel for each other .........
This is one of the best friends to lovers books I have read this year, a couple that have been friends since teenagers both haven hidden their true feelings finally get a chance at love as they care for the adorable baby who depends on them. A great start to the new series and I can’t wait to see what happens next in the charming town of Harmony Pointe.

To say I had a good time reading this one would be putting it mild, it was fantastic! Ben and Aurelia have been the best of friends but they both have stronger feelings but have never told each other but the a baby is left on Ben's doorstep and it seems to be the perfect time for Ben to finally come "clean" and profess his love and wouldn't you know Relsie feels the same! Will playing house make it real or too scary for them and what about when Ben's big family gets involved. This was definitely a fun read! I am looking forward to more of this family!

**Received this ARC for review from the publisher via NetGalley**

I enjoyed Call Her Mine. The beginning and end of Ben and Aurelia's story were great, but the middle was a little drawn out. I would have preferred a little more angst, but overall it was a good story and the epilogue was amusing.

I voluntarily read and reviewed a complimentary Advance Reader Copy from NetGalley.

Call Her Mine by Melissa Foster is book One in the Harmony Pointe Series. This is the story of Aurelia Stark and Ben Dalton.
Aurelia and Ben have been friends forever but neither knew of the others feeling for them being more. Aurelia never thought Ben felt more for her than their strong friendship. Ben felt like he never got the perfect moment to express how he feels but now Aurelia is planning on moving away to a near by town to open a bookstore. Next thing that happens to them is a baby is left with him and he needs help from Aurelia. Can this be the chance they need to come clean about their real feelings?
Loved their story and Ms. Foster's writing!

I loved this story between Ben and Aurelia, his best friend. It's crazy how these two shared the same feelings but neither of them knew it. Then you have an unexpected baby dropped off and their lives got even crazier. I love the dynamic between the two characters and you can see all of the love they have for each other. The little bundle of joy only brought out their true feelings and a whirlwind of happiness. This is a such a sweet story and I can't wait to read more about them and their friends and families!!

Call Her Mine is part friends to lovers part comedy of errors. Ben and Aurelia have been best friends for years, but never told the other how they felt. When a baby ends up on Ben's door, things change fast.

There are some really funny moments, as you can imagine, with Ben and Aurelia trying to handle a newborn. Neither of them have a clue what they are doing. The poopy diapers, the crying at inconvenient times, and the sheer exhaustion lead to some amusing moments! Through the drama of finding a baby on your doorstep, they finally admit their feelings for each other and have to navigate having a new relationship and a new baby.

Ben is a manwhore. When he first finds the baby, he can't even figure out whose baby it might be. He has to hire a PI to help him find the mother. I can't imagine being Aurelia-you finally get with the guy you have loved for years and have to spend your time together finding his ex hook ups??? But, Ben is great at showing how much he does love Aurelia, so you never actually dislike him for being a slut. While there are lots of funny moments in their new parenting adventure, there are some realistic moments as well-how do we explain this, do we tell people she isn't Aurelia's, and feeling like you are an utter failure as a parent because you can't for the life of you figure out how to get the baby to stop crying. Call Her Mine will have you laughing on one page and crying on the next.

Family bonds play a strong role in Call Her Mine as well. Ben has a big, loving, overly involved family and Aurelia has a beloved grandmother. They also have a large group of friends that help you feel like you are in the quaint town of Harmony Pointe. Call Her Mine is book one of this series, but many of the characters have been leads in their own books. At times, I was a bit confused by all the people mentioned. However, its tangental to the story, so it wasn't detrimental. If small towns, friends to lovers, and secret baby love stories are what you fancy, Call Her Mine will enchant you!

In Call Her Mine, the first book in her new Harmony Pointe series, Melissa Foster delivers a sexy and delightful friends to lovers romance with the added bonus of a surprise baby. Although there are some moments that will break your heart, this is a book that is low on drama and loaded with fun, love and romance. The love between Ben and Aurelia is honest and true and their interactions with the baby will melt your heart.

For those who have read Foster’s Sugar Lake novels, you will enjoy getting to see the Daltons again and you are sure to fall in love with them if you haven’t yet read the books. Foster has created a cast of real and dynamic characters who will make you laugh out loud. Ben’s sisters are great and I love that Aurelia was so close with them.

If you’re a fan of Bella Andre’s Sullivan family series, you will not want to miss this book. I can’t wait for the next book in this new series and I will definitely be reading the books in the Sugar Lake series.

This was an amazing and heartfelt book that I highly recommend reading.

I received an ARC through the publisher and NetGalley.

***5 ‘My World’ Stars***

Tears happened.

Ovaries exploding happened.

Snort/laughing definitely happened.

And swoons happened.

But the tears...UGH...I don’t tear up easily when reading, but with all that was going on ~ this baby just totally hit ALL the right buttons and more.

First things first. I have not read the Sugar Lake series, so this is the first time I’m experiencing the Dalton’s clan ~ well, there may have been a mention or two in another of the authors series, but for all intents and purposes, this is my first meet and greet with them ~ so I went in quite blind to all that was Ben and Aurelia and I ended up adoring them. They are both really good people with golden hearts and when you are one of theirs, they will move heaven and earth for you.

Their journey to their HEA, at least from where this book begins, was a surprisingly fun one. I know that doesn’t sound all that promising, but I was surprised at how they finally let each other know how they felt ~ pleasantly so. I didn’t expect it, but I loved it, especially because they actually communicated instead of having conversations in their heads with themselves and how they kept it quite drama free.

I know. You’re probably thinking…”Um...what about the baby situation?” Well, there was drama there, I mean, of course there was...a baby was left on the stairs, but it didn’t really ignite any angsty relationship drama. So as far as the ‘baby; goes. I loved how everything played out with that situation. There were a couple of twists in there I didn’t see coming, but it all worked for me in the end.
Being a #fangirl of the authors ~ even though I haven’t read ALL of her books ~ I thoroughly enjoyed Call Her Mine. It was funny, smexy and had just the right amount of drama to keep things interesting. It also had me getting teary ~ which was honestly unexpected, but the reason behind...well, I was absolutely understandable. As for the crazy cast of secondary characters ~ I thoroughly enjoyed all of them. I am adding the Sugar Lake series to my never ending TBR list (gah...I NEED more hours in my day to read) but I will be keeping up with this series because I need more of the Dalton’s and their extended family!

Note: You do not need to read the Sugar Lake series to enjoy Call Her Mine, but you will meet all three couples and get a little insight into their own journey’s to their HEA’s

Call Her Mine by Melissa Foster
Love in Bloom – Harmony Pointe #1

Aurelia and Ben have been friends forever but timing has never been right for them to be more than friends. They are both just about ready to declare their feelings when a baby in a basket is left on Ben’s doorstep. Aurelia is there for Ben as he navigates learning to be a father...and as she learns to be a mother and partner to Ben. She is busy starting her new shop but takes time for the baby that she is growing to love. Baby Bea is a delight but not easy and not knowing who the mother is, where she is and if she might return is a bit stressful. When she is finally found it is a mixed blessing although everyone believes Bea Jane Dalton is a gift beyond compare.

This author has created a series that has many branches and this is the first in a new offshoot that will no doubt continue to have previous characters come to visit and participate in whatever couple gets their story told. It is not necessary to have read previous books but this book might make you curious about who some of the other characters are and how they met their partners.

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I like to read more in this series? Yes

Thank you to NetGalley, Montlake Romance and the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.

3-4 Stars

One of the best friends to lovers stories I have ever read!

This book has all the feels. It's an amazing tale of how a tiny baby brings 2 best friends closer together to finally share the truth of their hearts.

I love how Ms. Foster makes her books real and believable by telling things that really happen and shows the true emotions between her characters. True, sometimes things aren't always roses and hearts, but with open communication and trust, a couple who truly loves each other can get through anything.

I've loved every book I've read by this author and can't wait to see what else happens in Harmony Pointe.

Loving the start to this series! Ben and Aurela have been best friends who have avoided their true feelings for each other for years. When Aurela finally decides to make a move and essentially run away from the situation, a baby arrives on Ben’s doorstep saying she’s his child. Unable to leave her best friend without help, the pair navigates taking care of a baby with no prior knowledge, and find throughout the process the feelings they have for each other are unavoidable. As Ben and Aurela finally give into their feelings and attempt a relationship, the possibility of the baby’s biological mother threatens their relationship before it even really starts, however things aren’t as they seem with the mother and the situation. While I’m always a huge fan of Melissa’s books, I really loved what she did with this storyline! I can’t wait to see where she takes this series!
