This book is so amazing that it kept me on my toes and it makes your feelings feel like you are in a roller coaster of emotions. This book is about Ben Dalton and his best friend Aurelia and the sweetest, cute little baby Bea. The story is a happy one with a very unique happy ending which I love but it also have love, passion, sadness and it's fun to read. It kept me intrigued to know who baby Bea's mother was and the story behind her. I love this book and I definitely can't wait for the next book #2 in the Harmony Pointe series. This is a must read for sure. I received and Advance Reader Copy in exchange of my honest review.

Ben is a billionaire business man who has been in love with his best friend for a long time. Aurelia Stark is an owner of a bookstore and spends time with Ben. A baby is left on Ben's door step and Aurelia falls in love with Baby B. They work together to take care of the baby and try to find the mother. It is heartbreaking and tearful. I loved this story from the start. Ben must learn how to be a good dad. I was gifted an advanced copy of this book and this is my honest review.

I was pulled right into this story. The story has suspense, friends to lovers, and sweet love.

This is Aurelia and Ben’s story. Just when Ben thinks he has a chance of winning his best friend over she moves to a new town. She can’t stay where she can’t have the one, she wants. So, moving will get her out of a crazy situation. But when a baby is dropped on Ben’s doorstep she agrees to help. They decide to investigate and track down the baby mama but will that bring them closer together or will it end up being the end of the dreams they both had of a future together?

I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book.

Although this is #book 1 this series is connected to the Sugar Lake series. These books are about the Dalton siblings. In this beginning series Aurelia is getting tired of just being friends with Ben. She has moved to another town just not to be close to him but yet he is still visiting. As Aurelia is leaving Ben's house she stumbles over a basket with a baby in it. We find out that the note in the baby basket says it Ben. The story unfolds where Ben begs Aurelia to help him take care of the baby. As they are working close to take care of the baby they finally admit their love for each other and begin their romance. We get to meet up with the other couples from the Sugar lake series and see future storyline unfolding in possible other novels. Review on goodreads and amazon

I fell head over heels for this story. I’ve loved watching Ben and Aurelia and their flirting and banter back and forth but this time it’s on. This book was everything. I enjoyed watching them figure out how to take care of Bea (Jane Bea) and I really liked how excited and supportive the family was and I also really liked how they finally came together for the baby and in turn, each other. I'm glad that we got to meet Caroline even though her story was heart wrenching and I definitely cried many tears for her but I’m thankful that she got to say goodbye and make peace with everything. The other part that totally made this book for me was the references to previous books and the ending with Ben recreating Duke’s scene, couldn’t have been better! There are always so many amazing lines in Melissa Foster’s books, one of mine from this book was ‘It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting’. Thank you Melissa Foster for another amazing book. Can’t wait to see what you have in store for us next.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED this book! Ben and Aurelia are wonderful as friends, and even more wonderful as a couple. I read this in one sitting. Cannot wait for the next book in this series, which I just snagged today!

Ben and Rels are long-time friends who want to be more, but the other doesn’t know. One morning they find a baby on their doorstep, with a note that Ben is the father. What follows is at times funny, sweet, predictable, and all sorts of other adjectives. The characters don’t strike true as real people, but are enjoyable none-the-less. I did not like the ending, but I’m not the writer.

I adore Melissa Foster and Call Her Mine was a perfect example of why. It contained everything you come to expect from Melissa Foster, and she sets the bar high. I loved it!

Ben and Rels are friends but never have made the move out of the friendzone. This was a quick easy read. Friends to lovers with a baby in the mix. These two quite adore each other and it was really sweet to read about and see how their friendship turns to love. Definitely enjoyable!

This is a sweet but sappy friends-to-lovers romance where they admit their love pretty quickly after finding his baby (that he didn’t know about) on his doorstep. There are some funny scenes revolving around dirty diapers, sisters stumbling in while he’s scoring a striptease, etc. and some steamy sex scenes, but there isn’t a lot of action and no new ground broken. The hero’s frequent professions of love start to get tedious, especially since no man is that poetic and lovesick. The only drama is when the baby’s mother shows up acting drunk. Even the resolution is bittersweet. Although it’s a standalone, it takes awhile to figure out who all of the characters are (h/h from previous series that this one is spun off from) and there’s a possible set-up for the next book. Will appeal to Foster’s fans, but is a non-essential purchase.


I received a complimentary ARC of this book from Montlake through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions expressed are completely my own.

Jump in on the beginning of a new series from Melissa Foster. Take flight with a fantastic take off. This was a friends to lovers with a bit more. The ins and outs of Ben Dalton and his love for the one person he wanted more than anyone in the world, Aurelia. Aurelia Stark had forever loved Ben and as things move forward in life she makes a decision that she can no longer wait for him to see her right before his eyes. The one things that draws them closer together and that step closer to what they both one get disturbed by a little hiccup.

Bea was not so much a hiccup as a connector piece. She was just what was needed to push both Ben and Aurelia to open their eyes and their feelings to what could and should be.

This one brings all the characters to life and shows ferocity of some while the compassionate side of other. There are characters to love so much you want more of them and then there are those that make you cry. I have to say that I did have to pull out the tissue. Those last five to six chapters just had me wrapped up tight. I for one can say this was another well loved romance from Melissa Foster and a fab introduction to the life in Harmony Pointe. There were also some interesting cameos from some that I would love to see more of. I look forward to Remy and more from Harmony Pointe.

This one started off cute. I mean, the cover alone...swoon.

....but I'm sorry to say, I DNF at 40%.

I don't know why. Cute kid, friends to lovers. But nothing grabbed me.

Sorry. I really tried.

Love the friends to lovers trope and throw a baby in there and it’s triple the fun. This was a cute, fun light hearted read . Really enjoyed this one and highly recommend. Thanks NetGalley.

The Delight

Call Her Mine was a cute story with some surprises, but not a huge conflict to really throw them off their game. It left me some what confused as if I was coming into a series mid-way, but the series says this is the first book. New to me author!

REVIEW

Call Her Mine is a story of two best friends who secretly love each other, but are afraid to admit it and ruin the friendship. What starts out as the night after a wedding with friends asleep on the couch, wakes up to a baby on the doorstep. Ben Dalton's baby. Or at least that is what the letter says. Aurelia and Ben now have more than their secret love of one another to deal with.

Aurelia Stark has loved Ben since high school and after years of watching him be a playboy and make money, she has decided it is time to move on with her life. She buys a bookstore in a different town and starts renovating it, but Ben's sister gets married, she goes with Ben as his best friend only to find out he has a baby the next morning. Shock of shocks. Being the best friend, she sticks with him trying to figure out who the mother could be all the while her heart is breaking knowing he has been with these women.

Ben Dalton had planned to make his move to tell Aurelia he loves her, but one thing after another gets in the way. Even a baby. He can't believe he fathered a child and cringes when he has to tell Aurelia every woman he has slept with in the last year in hopes of finding the baby's mother and clearing this up.

The two bumble thorough this till Aurelia decides to tell Ben how she feels and runs out instead. This is the last straw and Ben decides it's time he claims his woman. The romance falls into an easy pattern without really any hiccups. The two were made for each other. And now they are falling for the baby they don't know if is truly Ben's.

This is a sweet and sexy romance that is just a little to easy. Aurelia falls into the mother role like she was made for it it and Ben grows attached to the baby and doesn't want to let go. There is a resolution to this issue that you need to read the story to find out.

Decisions have to be made, equipment bought, store to renovate, parenting 101 to get through and so much more. The writing was pleasant and easy to follow, it just lacked the edge I wanted for this situation. It also left me guessing how Aurelia moved away, but really wasn't that far and who all of Ben's sisters were. It really felt like I was dropped into the middle of a series, which makes me think this was a spin off series. Any way, I was lost some, laughing some, ohhhing and ahhing, but never questioning if they were going to have any problems being a couple. And that is where I felt more conflict needed to happen. Me...I don't like drama...unless it's in my story!

I wanted to like this one SO MUCH. The idea of it is so good (and a friend's to lovers trope is one of my favorites) but I got a little icked out by his hooking up with women only when she went out on a date with someone else. I don't expect the heroes and heroines to save themselves and I'm only a little "enh" about sex without feelings, but when he's doing it to soothe his heart (or his ego) it just comes off as wrong to me. To both the women he's sleeping with and his "love".

Call Her Mine is about two best friends who find themselves with a instant family and all the drama to go with it. It was fantastic! I am voluntarily leaving my honest review after reading this arc.

I liked it and it was cute but it was slightly unbelievable.
They way everything moved so fast and neither of them really questioned it.
But overall it was a cute read.

You know what? Delightful is the perfect word to describe this story. Don’t misunderstand, there is tons of emotion contained within these pages, as well as a truly heartbreaking scene that had me tearing up. But you expect that – I’d be disappointed if a book from Ms Foster didn’t deliver that to be honest.

And yet,she doesn’t stop there. These characters, and their environment are lushly described. The whole book is a big, warm hug.

More please.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
