4 stars!!
This book is unbelievable!! It is so sweet, passionate, caring, and amazing!!!
Ben and Aurelia are best friends. They secretly love each other, however, being too fearful that they would mess up their friendship they do nothing about it. While trying to sort out their own feelings, starting new businesses and now throw a baby that gets left on Ben's door step in the mix, you have the perfect book!!
The book starts off very strong. I could feel their love for each other, their lust and their pain. It is captivating and sweet! At times I thought the timing is all wrong, why now but believe me it all becomes clear and is just perfect!! Can't wait for the next books within this series!!

Thank you netgalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Call Her Mine is a fun, sexy, sweet book that has you laughing one minute and reaching for your tissues the next. This is a wonderful friends to lovers story with an added surprise along the way. Ben and Aurelia have been friends for years and are absolutely perfect for each other. Once they admit their feelings, they can't keep their hands off of each other, the chemistry between them is scorching hot. I absolutely loved Ben and Aurelia together and I enjoyed watching Ben taking care of what is his and loved how he made Aurelia feel special and loved. I also enjoyed visiting with all of the Sugar Lake gang. I could not put this book down once I started it. I truly cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Ben and Aurelia have been best friends for years. The only problem with that is that she's been in love with him all that time. To say their timing has always been off in an understatement. Deciding she can't be his friend any more, Aurelia decides it's time to follow her dreams and move from Sugar Lake to Harmony Pointe and open a book store. A fresh start is what she needs to leave Ben and her love for him behind. Ben was blindsided by Aurelia's move, and isn't sure how to get her to stick around, until someone drops a baby on his door step. Now he needs her more than ever.

This book had me hooked in the first couple of chapters, unrequited and friends to lovers are two of my favorite tropes. Call Her Mine is listed as being the first of the Harmony Pointe series, however, I felt a little lost having not read the Sugar Lake Series first since that's when Ben and Aurelia are introduced. It feels like I missed some of the angst and heartbreak not seeing them interact in those four books. I almost couldn't relate to everyone's feelings of "finally!". That being said, I'm sure that if I would have done some research I could have figured that out, read the Sugar Lake series and been more prepared. Definitely read those first. BUT, I did really enjoy this story even not having all the background info. The dynamic of Ben and Aurelia, how they couldn't be more opposite and their terrible timing, they're adorable. I was gut punched at 95%, I'm sure I should have seen the twist coming, but oh my gosh, all the feels, complete heart break. And that Epilogue was perfection. I loved that even though Aurelia wasn't Bea's biological mom she loved her just the same. It doesn't matter who makes you or who births you, it's who loves you and cares for you that really count in life.

CALL HER MINE by Melissa Foster is another five 🌟 read!!! It's a fun book with some heartbreak and plenty of tender moments. Friendship and family are the background in this contemporary romance, you don't want to miss!

Melissa Foster just wrung my heart out with Call Her Mine😍😍😍. I laughed, cried, laughed some more, felt my heart expand it was so full from this couple and the love they had for each other and how they always came to the right answer for something so very hard to do had me bawling like a baby...in case you can't tell....I LOVE THIS BOOK💖💖💖💖💖

This is the 1st book in the Harmony Pointe series (and sort of the 4th in the Sugar Lake series). This is a stand alone book and is Ben and Aurelia’s book. It is a very sweet, fun and great best friends to lovers with a baby thrown in (with some hotness added in too), although this isn’t the typical baby story. I loved Ben and Aurelia! You saw there was something between them in the previous books, but was so much more. I loved that they didn’t spend the whole book resisting each other and much of the book was focused on them building their already strong relationship. You also got a good dose of all of his sisters that you have met in the previous books. As I said, it is a stand alone and you do not need to read the Sugar Lake books, but it is so much better if you have so you can totally enjoy the banter in the Dalton family. I definitely recommend this book and look forward to the rest of the Harmony Pointe books!

I've read many books by Melissa Foster and have enjoyed them. They are fun, quick easy reads. This one fell right in line with her past books. Fun, fast (I read it in just a couple of hours), and not too deep (just the type of book I like to read after reading several dark thrillers) with characters you are quick to like and root for. Looking forward to reading more of this new series.

3.5 out of 5

Thank you #netgalley and #montlakeromance for the eARC.

Call her Mine by Melissa Foster a five-star read you will want to call yours. This was my first read by this author, but it felt like I was reading a story about old friends and knew the secondary group so well, you could get the inside jokes. Ben and Aurelia are a match made in heaven, but just because they are a perfect match doesn’t mean they have ever realised it. Just like being an adult doesn’t make you a grown up. They have both done stupid things and when one of those stupid things comes back to bite Ben on the behind, its Aurelia that he turns to, just as she is meant to be moving on and starting a fresh. But Aurelia would do anything for Ben, and she gets her reward in an unexpected package in Baby B. The thing with this story isn’t that its just Ben and Aurelia and Baby B, its everyone else that is thrown into the package they make the story so much deeper and more interesting that you can imagine, it’s a cute and sweet romance but its also so much more.

Special thanks to Melissa Foster, Lisa Filipe, Netgalley and Montlake Romance for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

Call Her Mine by Melissa Foster is such a sweet and gushingly romantic story. Aurelia and Ben are childhood best friends who both have unrequited feelings towards each other. Friends to lovers is one of my favorite romance troupes in the world! When a baby is left of Ben's doorstep, the two are forced to confront their feelings for each other once and for all.

There are just so many things (for lack of a better word) that I love about Call Her Mine. Here are favorites:

Ben with his Clark Kent hotness is definite book boyfriend material....but ladies and gentlemen, Ben only has eyes for Aurelia which makes him EVEN more swoon-worthy. He simply adores her. He is crazy romantic with his words and his small and grand gestures. He not only makes you swoon but also melts your heart.

The drama Ben and Aurelia face is of a different kind and I am ALL ABOUT IT. Their drama revolves around caring for an abandoned baby which calls for all types of scenes: funny, sad, dramatic, romantic, etc, etc, etc. As a mother, the scenes were all so realistic. I also like the reasoning behind baby being left. It's both heartbreaking and oddly fulfilling.

The scene where Ben finally confesses his feelings for Aurelia was ON POINT. It has all the feels that romance readers will love. In fact, I reread it a couple of times....and then some more. It is one of the best scenes in the entire book.

Recommendation: A must read for romance readers. Call Her Mine will make your heart smile. I gushed so hard that I hope my review reflects that. This is a must read for romance readers.

This combines a friends to lovers plot with a secret baby. In this case, the secret baby was a secret to Ben, just showing up on his doorstep. He needs the help of his best friend, Aurelia, to help him figure out how to take care of his unexpected daughter. Aurelia and Ben have secretly been in love with each others for ages but been too afraid to tell each other.

The romance gets resolved about halfway through the book and then the novel becomes mostly a description of their challenges taking care of a baby, something neither of them have had any experience doing. The plot just seems to lose focus after the romance is resolved.

I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

I have read almost all of Melissa Foster's books and really enjoy all of them. However, one or two can sometimes feel flat and this is one of them. Ben and Aurelia are friends who become lovers and this can be done well. Here, again, it just didn't do it. I had a hard time with Ben and his reaction to a baby found on his doorstep. His attitude was all "it's not mine...etc.". Although Ben comes to love the baby very quickly the whole plot just seemed a bit off to me. This was not one of the author's best.

I was given a free ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest reveiw..

This was a cute, well written friends to lovers romance, with a baby thrown in to the mix. This is part of a series I have not read, but I had no trouble following along. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC!

While I am genuinely really compelled by ostensibly one-sided pining for a friend, this opening fell pretty flat for me—which was followed by something which made me stop reading. Surprise-baby-on-the-doorstep can be done well, though it’s not usually my favorite, but this just really missed it for me. Ben’s reaction to the baby is to swear a bunch and get mad about a “crazy bitch” who probably left it there. In the surprise baby scenario, it’s great when a hero is surprisingly good with the baby, but it’s not necessary. I do genuinely need the hero to be at all concerned with the baby’s wellbeing—which was far from Ben’s first reaction, despite a literal infant being left on his porch. I just couldn’t get behind the relationship after that point, because I couldn’t root for Ben.

This book is a spin off of the Sugar Lake Series that centers around Ben Dalton and Aurelia Stark. Ben and Aurelia have been best friends forever and both have crushed on each other for years, but have been afraid to act on their attraction. Aurelia has decided that she needs a new start away from Ben by moving to and opening a bookstore in Harmony Pointe. Aurelia is kicking herself for running back to spend time with Ben, as she is leaving his house, she sees a basket. There is a baby in the basket with a note that says the baby is Ben’s. While dealing with a new baby, they eventually reveal that their feelings to each other. Starting a new relationship and becoming insta-parents is pretty chaotic, but that is what is enjoyable about this book. Ben and Aurelia are really nice characters who have been circling around each other throughout the Sugar Lake series and it is nice to see them get their happily ever after. This is a cute book with minimal conflict. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley for my honest review.

I love Melissa Foster, but this book seemed all too familiar to me. I felt have read another version of it recently. Unexpected baby left on someone's door step. Just didn't work for me. I usually love Melissa Foster's books. This was one that I didn't.

Melissa Foster is a new-to-me author, and even though I'm not a fan of any version of the surprise baby trope (which I'd consider this to fall under), I absolutely adore friends-to-lovers romances, which is what made me request this book. Honestly, I feel like... maybe I shouldn't have, after all, because there is a lot here that just did not work for me at all as a romance novel. First off, I almost quit the book after the first chapter, when Ben continued to call the baby "it" or "that" instead of "she/her" or even "the baby" because it was honestly really gross. He also makes some comments about "crazy bitches" maybe wanting his money (because of course he's a gorgeous billionaire), and those type of comments just felt unnecessarily misogynistic. However, I did keep reading, and within a couple of chapters both Ben and Aurelia are madly in love with the baby, so the "it" comments stopped.

Then it became about identifying who the mother was, raising the child, etc. I had no knowledge of Foster's previous books while reading this one. But it became obvious to me, as a longtime romance reader who knows patterns within romance series, that secondary characters had had their own books, and that this world was at least somewhat familiar to readers who have read her previous books. And while this book worked for me as a standalone in terms of the story itself, I did wonder if maybe these characters had appeared in previous books as two best friends clearly in love with each other, and this was an anticipated book? I don't know. But I guess what I'm getting at is that they kiss, profess their love, and decide to be a couple by about the 30% mark or thereabouts. So 2/3 of the book, they're already a couple practically living together raising a baby.

It just... wasn't for me. I don't expect every romance to be a slow burn, or to end when a couple gets together. I can even see the reward in seeing an established couple grow together and fall in love; raising Bea together certainly brings THEM closer together and makes them fall even more in love. But as someone new to this couple, I just found this anticlimactic. The book is less about them as a couple and more about them navigating parenthood. I can't say I was mislead because the blurb does say "instafamily," so again, maybe I just... shouldn't have bothered to read this, but meh?

I'm also really over all or mostly white small town romances. I'd say overall, I kind of had to force myself to finish this book. I was bored out of my mind for the most part.

Oh my! This story had me anxious several times. And I will admit, I cheated and skipped to the end to see how it ended before I kept reading on.
Shame on me, I know!
I just couldn't resist. I had to know.
So this is a story about a female/male bestfriends who are both secretly in love with each other. Everyone else seems to already know this, but neither know the other feels that way. So what do they do to 'get over each other'? Well, Aurelia goes on lots of first dates and Ben does one night stands. One day when she goes to leave his house, there is a baby on the porch with a note saying he is the father.
Whoa!
Good thing they are such great friends that she helps him.

Overall, I really enjoyed this one. It did get a bit slow a few times for me which is why I am not rating it with 5 stars.

First, thank you so much for the ARC. As always, Melissa Foster does not disappoint. I have always loved every book she writes and “Call Her Mine” was no exception. I loved Aurelia and Ben. You could feel how much they love each other and what an amazing relationship that they have together. And who doesn’t love a baby....Bea was so special even though she was a baby. She really made Aurelia and Ben realize that it was time to admit their love for one another. I loved Grandma Flossie and Ben’s sisters were so much fun. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I highly recommend this book!!

OMG!!This the very first book that I've read by Melissa Forster, her book had me from the very first page!
There's love, confusion, lust and a baby left on the doorstep what more could you want from a book!
Ben and Rels have been best friends since they where children but Ben wants more , he been in love with her forever but what he doesn't know Rels has been in love with him just the same but throw a baby in the mix, that's where the confusion comes in.
Will Ben and Rels get their happily ever after or will the baby be the end before they even gets started?

I received an arc copy of this book from NetGalley for my honest review. This was a nice sweet romance story. Ben and Aurelia have been best friends for years but each of them has been hiding hidden feelings for each other thinking their love was only one sided. Finally when Aurelia decides to move on (literally as she moved towns) a surprise arises. A baby has been found on Ben’s doorstep. This story focuses on the relationship between the two leads which develops from friendship and expands to love. While there are struggles along the way ( neither is experienced with kids) they come to realize that they can overcome anything with each other. This book has a little bit of humor, a little bit of sizzle, and even a bit of intrigue as they’re chasing down the baby’s mother. It is a nice quick and sweet read. 4.5 stars
