At first, I wasn’t so sure about this story. Aurelia and Ben were best friends who wanted more from each other but weren’t able to communicate those feelings, until a baby was dropped off on Ben’s porch. But, as the story progressed, I found that I enjoyed both Aurelia and Ben’s journey both as a couple and as new, unprepared parents. The story of Baby Bea and how she came to live with Ben was unexpected and not what a reader would expect. There were a lot of characters in the book and sometimes it was hard to keep up with who they were and how they were related, but it works out in the end.

I absolutely loved this book! It's the first book in a bit that I've had a hard time putting down, I really could have finished it all in one sitting! This was the first book by Melissa Foster I've read, and I'm definitely going to go read her others and am already looking forward to the ones to come!

It was pretty obvious (to everyone apparently!) that Ben and Aurelia were in love with each other. One of my favorite aspects of this book was that they didn't dance around that fact for too long, and the transition from friends to lovers felt natural, and time wasn't wasted with unnecessary drama. I loved the nicknames (and the transition into B's name), the friendly (turned sexy) banter, and there were a lot of good bits of advice and family dynamics. Also, the secondary characters each had their own voice and were so fun and unique; that's what made me first look to see if the author had other books (and I was of course pleasantly surprised!). This book works fine as a standalone and you don't need to read the other books to appreciate this one, but I am looking forward to reading those and I'm sure they would only enhance this story!

While I can't say I would react/feel in the same way if this same situation happened to me, all of the characters reactions felt genuine (whereas in other novels they can tend to feel forced, or like the individuals are perfect). It's full of, that's not how I would have done it but I still respect your decision, moments. And that ending, I did not see that coming!

The only things that felt slightly off were the billionaire status (that just feels like a bit of a stretch, but didn't make me love Ben any less, especially after the changing table incident!), and I am still trying to wrap my head around the ending; it's not what I imagined and I just don't know what to do with these emotions yet! And again, a few things I would have done differently if it were myself in the story, but I can't hold that against the characters or the author!

And thank you Melissa for that epilogue, one of the funniest and most perfect endings to a book! I'm definitely going to re-read it any time I need a pick-me-up or a good laugh!

Aurelia Stark and Ben Dalton are best friends , who are in love with each other, but are oblivious of it. Aurelia decides she has had enough of seeing Ben everyday, and falling asleep with each other, but as "friends". She decides to move into the next town over and open up a bookstore and live in the apartment above it. One day while visiting Ben, they both get the surprise of their lives, by finding a baby girl left on Ben's door step! Aurelia gets attached right away, while Ben starts freaking out and wants to drop the baby off at the nearest police station. With no idea of who the baby's mother is, the pair decides to keep the baby and get a paternity test done. Will this finally push these two to admit to their feelings? Or will they just remain friends?

Ben and Aurelia’s story is a wonderful friends to lovers story, that makes you laugh and makes you cry a little too. My heart was destroyed at the end, but you could tell that these guys hard a heart of gold and were going to do the right thing. I love the secondary characters. Can’t wait for more!

This was a friends to lovers romance with a little bundle of chaos thrown in. Ben and Aurelia are best friends who each are harboring feelings for each other. I am glad the author didn't drag out the part where each character was scared to tell the other what they felt. You get to go on a wild ride when a surprise visitor is at the door. I enjoyed when the sisters found out and helped. I loved how they gave Ben a hard time. This book has sweetness and a couple who has some road blocks to work through. This was a great read with great characters.

Sweet romance. Love this series and this author. She never disappoints I enjoyed the sweet romance and the storyline. Catching up on the other characters from past books in always wonderful also. Well written and full of joy

This is the first book I have read from this author and I loved it! It was a fun book to read (even with the seriousness of the baby being dropped off) and I couldn't read it fast enough!
Aurelia and Ben are such a cute couple and I loved how they handled the surprise delivery which finally brought them together.
I also enjoyed the interaction with Ben's family and Aurelia's friend & Grandmother.
I am going to have to add the series about Ben's family to my tbr list!!
I am not a fan of books written by a third person, so it did take me a while to get used to. Aside from this though it was a great book and I hope you love it as much as I did!!

I was given an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest and independent review.
One of my favourite contemporary authors has managed to write another cracker.
Romantic, fun. cute and sexy with familiar characters and some new faces. The perfect summer read.
4.5****

I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher with the understanding that I would provide an honest review of the book after reading it.

I have read many books by Melissa Foster and this book is a spin-off of the Sugar Lake series. Willow, Zane, Piper, Bodhi, and the rest of the family appear in this story. You can read this as a stand-alone book.

Aurelia and Ben’s story had its ups and downs, surprises, laughs, heart-melts and heartbreaks. This is a friends-to-lovers story with a surprise baby that turns things upside down! Ben learns what’s important in life and takes immediate action to care for the two lucky ladies in his life.

Read more about how A+B=B! You won’t be disappointed!

This is a voluntary review of an advanced copy.

While you can read this as a stand alone, you can tell that there were previous books about the other couples and this family.

This book really fell flat for me as I just could not get over the fact that Ben used sex with other women to "get through" a night when Aurelia had a date - because what else would she be doing but having sex on her first date.

It was also hard to relate when Ben feels like she has rejected his advances and she perceives his "hints" as a joke - this was just too immature for adults their age.

Most of the book was their bonding to his surprise daughter (sorry for the spoiler but it is his baby) and their fear that the birth mother will reappear and take Bea back after they have come to love her.

Parts were funny as they had no clue on taking care of a baby but most was filled with angst of losing Bea. Finally started skimming the final chapters until Caroline appeared and it got a little more interesting after that.
And the epilogue was kind of hilarious and probably the best part of the whole book.

Call Her Mine is the first book in Melissa Foster's new Harmony Pointe series. It's not a break from her previous books - most of the characters are familiar frineds but even if you haven't read her other books you won't be confused.
This is a friends to lovers story with a twist. Ben and Aurelia have had a great friendship forever but nothing else. Aurelia is ready for a change and moves to Harmony Pointe for a fresh start. She's tired of waiting for something to happen and then it does.
After another night of watching movies and "sleeping" together with nothing but sleep going on they open the door to find a basket on Ben's doorstep. When they open the basket there's a baby girl inside and a note saying she was Ben's - oops.
Rather that tear Aurelai and BEn apart, it seems to draw them together as they both fall in love with this tiny little girl. They join together to figure out what the next steps are and if Ben is the father will he be raising this little bundle of joy alone.
At the last minute, they finally uncover the mystery of the baby's mother and how she will fit into their newly formed family.
Melissa Foster does an amazing job with writing strong, smart characters and keeps the story interesting and fun.
I received an advanced copy of this book.

This was a beautiful surprise baby, friends to lovers book. Aurelia is moving on with her life even though she's still in love with her best friend Ben. Until one morning a baby appears! Through managing how to take care of new baby, and navigate the hows, why's and who's Ben finally confesses his love for Aurelia. There's a lot going on, but these two move through this whirlwind with such grace, it makes the book such a joy to read.

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Ben and Aurelia are best friends who have feelings for each other. Neither has ever told the other about their feelings and something always comes between them. However, when they find a baby on Ben's doorstep - with a note that says that Ben is the dad! - they are faced with a challenge neither could have expected.
I love the secret baby thrope. There is something fun about the pressure people are put under when there is a baby involved and not every author can handle it realistically. I think Foster had handled it quite well, they had struggles and didn't really know how to deal with the baby because neither had any experience. Luckily they had a support system who helped them and gave advice. The situation with the babys mom was surprising and not the usual villain/careless woman trope authors irritatingly tend to use.
The relationship between the h and H was very convenient and there was not much conflict - some might like it but some may want some more struggles as it would have been more realistic.

Overall, I think people who enjoy light contemporary romance will enjoy this one too.



I recieved a copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Call Her Mine by Melissa Foster is a thoroughly charming romance that has the perfect amount of heat between Ben and Aurelia to keep the pages turning at a rapid pace...I couldn’t put the book down once I started reading this couple’s story. I look forward to what is in store next for this cast of characters.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

Call Her Mine is an entertaining, easy read. It’s a heartwarming friends to lovers story, as well as the surprise baby troupe (not my favorite theme, but I do like a good friends to lovers story and this fit that nicely). As usual with Melissa Foster, this book had plenty of emotion, laughter, tears, and, of course, love. I look forward to return visits to Harmony Pointe.

I’ve read numerous Melissa Foster books now and I love her writing style. It’s light and fun and a very easy fast read.

I had read all the others in her various series so knew the characters and a rough background but I enjoyed the boy is in love with girl and girl is in love with girl but everyone but them knows it.

Lovely read would recommend to anyone.

Ben and Aurelia have been best friends forever but they have no idea that they both want more. Afraid to mess up their friendship they keep their romantic feelings to themselves. Everything changes when a baby is left on Ben's doorstep. Cute friends to lovers -- and parents romance.

I like Ms. Foster's stories, but everything seems to just happen. Other than the push-pull at the beginning of the book, there was very little conflict.

However, I enjoyed the story.

I've read a few of this author's books and I've enjoyed the books that I've read from her, so I was looking forward to reading more from her! I know that she has lots of other books released, but I received an email from the publisher about this book and the synopsis sounded intriguing, so I decided to give it a read! After reading this book, I can say that it took me a few chapters to get into, but I found myself enjoying it more as it developed! The plot did develop at a nice pace and there was a lot of romance in it, which allowed for quite a few seriously hot scenes! I also loved the addition of the characters learning how to be parents because there were some funny scenes and some sad scenes! I also wasn't expecting to cry at the plot, but I did near the end because there were some very emotional scenes! The ending of this book also wasn't fully wrapped up, but I hope the characters story will continue in the next book! The characters were great and made this book better! Aurelia was the main female character, and in this book she had a new business and was looking forward to seeing how it would go! I liked Aurelia a lot in this book! She was there to support her love interest and help him with his new baby, even though she didn't necessarily have to! I loved the way that Aurelia was with her love interest too! She had always had feelings for him, but had never acted on them! Ben was the main male character and love interest of Aurelia! Ben got quite a shock in this book when a baby was left at his front door lol! Ben didn't have any experience with kids, so it was funny watching him learn how to be a father and balance a child with his demanding job! I felt like Ben took on the role of a father very well and he would do anything to protect his daughter! It was also easy to see how he felt about Aurelia and they worked well together! I loved that this book was written from both Aurelia and Ben's point of views! I wasn't sure if it was going to be before I started reading, but I'm really happy that it was! It allowed for more things to happen in the plot, especially as both characters didn't spend every second of the plot together and were dealing with their own situations! It helped me connect more with Aurelia and Ben too and see how they really felt for each other! This book was also written in third person, which I normally don't like, but I liked this book being written this way! I now can't wait to read the next book in this series! I'm excited about who the main characters are going to be and the synopsis has me very intrigued to read it, so I can't wait for it to release I know that the next book releases at the beginning of December, which isn't that long of a wait! I'll definitely be grabbing a copy of it once it releases and I look forward to giving it a read! The cover for this book is also absolutely perfect for it and would draw me to the book! ! I love it a lot and it definitely suits the feel of the book! The cover model is also the perfect Ben too!

Welcome back to the Dalton family. I enjoyed yet another sweet tale from the family witj a heart of gold. I laugh, I cried, I could have died...of laughter and joy at the closing scene. Foster fans will cheer!
