Another amazing book from Melissa and as long as she is writing I'll be devouring her stories!

Wow, what a totally unputdownable novel from author Melissa Foster. Call Her Mine grabs you right from the start and the wondrous journey never lets up. The two main characters, bookstore owner Aurelia Stark, and venture capitalist Ben Dalton, have been best friends for years, and their romantic courtship is replete with poor timing, elation, and love. This is the first book from the author's brand new series Harmony Pointe, and it can be enjoyed as a standalone.

Unrequited love is what Aurelia and Ben have been harboring forever. The time is never right to share their romantic feelings, so when they finally do, their happiness is tangible. Coinciding with their new relationship is Baby Bea, an infant that was left on Ben's doorstep. A paternity test proves that Ben is Bea's father. Aurelia and Ben are now parents, while balancing sleeplessness, two residences, two demanding jobs, and everything else in between. Naturally, Bea's biological mother is also a huge concern.

Call Her Mine is truly an amazing and heartrending novel. It is an emotional read with sexy times that are both loving and steamy. I finished this book a few hours ago, yet it took me a while to pull myself together in order to write a review. Only a few novels have ever caused me to be contemplative and overwhelmingly raw, which this one does stunningly. Don't pass up the chance to read this well-written book.

I love the friends to lovers trope. Call Her Mine shows it at its best with a hero and heroine who make me happy. They’re both strong people who value open communication and honesty. Their love, friendship and regard for one another is never in question. The only thing they haven’t spoken is how much they want each other, but thankfully, that doesn’t last long. There’s a wrench that gets thrown in the works? But even that they tackle as a unit. It’s pretty great.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Ben has always loved his best friend Aurelia as just that a best friend, nothing ever went past that friendship stage and it has been enough. But its been a bit complicated since she's moved. Now with Aurelia finding a baby abandoned on Ben's front porch their lives will turn around as they try to figure out of the child is really his, find out who the child's mother is and demand answers, until they can work things out both Ben and Aurelia will care for the child. But to Aurelia there is nothing hotter then seeing Ben's daddy side come out and things start to heat up for the two as well. They've got many things to face but will try to work on it together.

I love a good friendship to lovers situation. They already know the dirty little details with eachother so a relationship between the two isn't really complicated. What is complicated is the baby Ben is now tasked to face and Aurelia being his friend wants so do what she can to help him and the baby out. They've got to manage their friendship, the child's well being and learning dealing with the fact that they have jobs and lives so it was was interesting seeing how the two worked on things and how everything worked out. I especially loved the romance between the two and the heated exchanges. Overall this was a pretty great book I really enjoyed it.

Ben and Aurelia have loved each other for years... they just didn't know it. Stuck in unrequited love limbo, Aurelia decides to jump on the chance to start over - new town, new place, new business venture, new life. Right? Ben doesn't want to lose his best friend, the only woman he's ever loved, so he finds excuses to get her to stay. What happens when the biggest reason of all literally finds its way to his door?

I always know when I read a book from Melissa Foster that the story will be epic and she did not let me down. Call Her Mine had easy to love characters, a spicy coming together moment, little to no drama, warm family and friends interactions, and so much love that I just wanted to hug and squeeze the book in my hands forever. I felt for Ben and his situation. Trying to distance himself from Aurelia and the hopelessness he felt in getting his happily ever after, he tended to get involved in one night stands. No muss, no fuss. At least, that's what he thought until one such encounter created a blessing that not only taught him about a different type of love, but brought him the woman he always wanted. I admired Aurelia for her strength in standing by his side. I felt conflicted because on one hand, it was hurtful that he had created a life with someone else. But on the other, he was wholly devoted to her and building a life and future with her.

While this was most definitely a friends-to-lovers romance, and there were plenty of romantic and swoon-worthy moments to be found, it was also about the baby and how these two characters had to change and adapt for this huge change in their lives. Neither of them were prepared to welcome a baby, especially since they were just starting to navigate their way through new coupledom. But I feel like the author pulled off this complicated story with her usual finesse and it was impossible to not fall in love with everyone and their moments. I loved having this visit with the Daltons (seriously, aren't they just the best family?) and I'm looking forward to more of these people. Will Fletcher ever find his match? What about Piper? And with the amount of times I've seen Jared Stone, does he have a story? I'm staying tuned...

Sweet friends to lovers

In this absolutely sweet best friends to lovers romantic book we watch two people not only fall in love with each other but the adorable new born left on Ben’s doorstep. The writing is flawless, and the words are so captivating, the plot had so many twists and turns and none that I was expecting, and many shocking moments.

Authors Blurb: Ben Dalton has always been honest, except where his heart is concerned. He’s been in love with his best friend saucy, smart-mouthed Aurelia Stark forever. But Ben’s a planner, and timing has never been on his side. When he finally decides to make his move, Aurelia beats him to the punch with a move of her own—to a different town. Aurelia loves her new life in the charming town of Harmony Pointe. She has a great apartment and her very own bookstore, and best of all, the sinfully hot, commitment phobic friend she’s crushed on for years is no longer just around the corner. Maybe she’ll finally be able to leave her unrequited love behind and move on. But when a baby is left on Ben’s front porch a baby that is presumably his Aurelia is there for him. Neither one knows the first thing about babies, but how hard can it be? Ben and Aurelia are catapulted into a world of love, laughter, and tracking down the baby mama, and it might even add up to a very happily ever after… just not one either of them expects.

Well let me start by saying
This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

Call them yours!

Call Her Mine by Melissa Foster is the story of Ben, Aurelia and Bea. Ben and Aurelia (Rels)have been best friends forever. Aurelia has been I love with Ben (and he with her) but they are unaware the other sees them as anything more than friends. When Rels moves away to open her own bookstore and to move forward with her life, she tries to convince herself to leave Ben behind. Just when she is ready to do exactly that, she finds a basket outside Ben’s door. She assumes the neighbour made him muffins, but inside the basket is something much sweeter...a baby who is Ben’s! But who is the mother and why leave the poor baby there when Ben didn’t know he’d fathered a child!!

I laughed out loud as Ben and a Rels manoeuvre through the issues of taking care of a baby. I loved how Ben finally stepped up to tell Rels his feelings and how much of the book was the insta-family dynamics. And learning about Bea’s mother and her reasons for giving up her child made me cry. All in all, this is another fabulous book with a little of everything you’d want in a romantic comedy.

I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley and the author. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely.

This is why I love Melissa and her writing. I absolutely loved this book. It was freaking amazing. Melissa has become one of my favorite authors this past year and I'm so glad that I got to read this early. It was so good from beginning to end and I couldn't get enough.

Thank you Netgalley, the author and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I enjoyed this upbeat, well-written book. Aurelia and Ben are best friends and they both have unexpressed feelings for each other. The timing has never been right for them to get together. Then Ben is thrown for a loop when a baby is left on his doorstep. Aurelia offers to help care for the baby, and they start working together to figure things out. This was an entertaining book and I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Call Her Mine is a best friends to lovers romance. Ben and Aurelia are best friends who are brutally honest with each other, except for when it comes to their feelings for each other. They have loved each other forever, they just didn't know it. Just when Aurelia starts to separate her life from Ben's, a baby turns up on his front porch and he needs her more than ever.

I'm a sucker for a friends to lovers romance. This story was super cute and sometimes antsy with Baby B in the mix. Baby B brings to the forefront all of the emotions that Ben and Aurelia have for each other. I felt all of the emotions while reading this story; I cried, I laughed and thoroughly enjoyed Ben's journey into surprise fatherhood with Aurelia by his side.

LOVED THIS BOOK! Loved the characters and the story line. Pick this book up, you won't regret it!

I absolutely loved this sweet, entertaining and completely charming story! It has been a while since I’ve read one of Melissa Foster’s books and I was so drawn into this story that I couldn’t put it down. The characters were completely lovable, the story was realistic and the experience left me wanting more!

Auriela has been in love with Ben Dalton for most of her life. He is the man she compares every guy to and they all fall short. Unfortunately, Aurelia is stuck in the friend zone with Ben and she’s determined to move on and start a new chapter in her life. A life that doesn’t involve her constantly hanging out with Ben. Hoping to distance herself from Ben, she decides to move to a nearby town and open a new bookstore. Despite her new plan, Ben keeps calling her to hangout and of course she’s weak where Ben’s concerned. Once again she finds herself going to his house to watch a movie with him. After falling asleep in his arms again and feeling things she shouldn’t, she’s disgusted with her lack of resolve and tries to leave. As she walks out the door she notices a basket on the porch. Thinking it’s some baked goods from Ben’s sister Willow, Aurelia opens the basket to find a little baby girl and a note informing Ben that the baby is his.

Ben has always been a very focused individual. He’s been very successful at running his business and has made a lot of money. He's always been able to make a list, strategize and accomplish anything he sets his mind to. Everything except making Aurelia his! Ben has been close friends with Aurelia for most of his life and he’s been in love with her for as long as he can remember. He’s wanted their relationship to move out of the friend zone but the timing has always been off. Just as the timing seemed right, Aurelia decided to move away. Determined not to lose another opportunity Ben asks her to hangout. Waking up with her in his arms is just what he’s always wanted. He flirts with her hoping to let her know he wants more but she laughs at his suggestions and is in a hurry to leave. When Aurelia finds a baby on his porch Ben is afraid that he’s lost his last chance at having the relationship he’s always wanted with her. How could he possibly burden her with a child that isn’t hers? How can he keep Aurelia and still do what’s right for the baby? How can he make Aurelia believe that he’s always wanted her and that his feelings have nothing to do with needing her help with Baby B? Although he adamantly denies that the baby is his, he knows he needs help figuring out what he should do next. He turns to Aurelia asking her to stay and help him. Seeing her always in control and composed Ben totally helpless and lost, Aurelia agrees to help. So much for her new plan of keeping her distance!

There were so many things I enjoyed about this story! There were a lot of very entertaining moments as Ben and Aurelia try to figure out how to take care of Baby B. It was so funny when Ben becomes protective of Baby B’s needs and the needs of all single fathers. The cookie tip was hilarious! Ben was so cute with his lists- his list of what he needed to do for Baby B and his list of Aurelia’s happy moments! It was so heartwarming when Ben and Aurelia finally agreed to let their hearts fully love Baby B despite the pain of possibly losing her. I also loved the Dalton family and how they all came together to help Ben and Aurelia. Ben’s family was so supportive and loving. I completely enjoyed their family dynamics. His father’s wonderful acceptance and sage advice was one of my favorite parts of this story. Finally, I was completely heartbroken and shattered when Ben and Aurelia decided to meet with the baby’s mother. I recommend a box of tissues! I fell completely in love with Ben and Aurelia, Baby B, the Dalton family and this wonderful romance story of love, family and seizing the moment.

I totally recommend reading this book! It’s definitely one of the sweetest stories I’ve read. It’s a quick, easy to read contemporary romance that pulls you in, holds your attention and captures your heart. Call Her Mine is the first book in Melissa Foster’s new spinoff series Harmony Pointe. This story is wonderfully entertaining and I’m really looking forward to reading future releases in this series.

I won a free copy of this book from the author, provided through NetGalley, and happily provided my honest and unbiased review. Thank you!

Ben and Aurelia and baby makes an amazing story!!! A little twist on the friends to lovers trope with a surprise baby mixed in.

Ben and Aurelia have been best friends for years but both have wanted to be more. Neither one knew how the other truly felt until a surprise baby shows up on Ben's doorstep. He doesn't have the best timing with admitting his love, but couldn't image another woman by his side and being the mother to his daughter. They manage to take care of a baby and enjoy their new relationship amidst the rest of their busy lives.

I love these characters and the Dalton family. Melissa Foster never fails to write a story that I fall in love with. I think my favorite part of this book was the epilogue. Whew, that was hot!!! I can't wait for the next book.

Call Her Mine by Melissa Foster was a heartwarming and beautiful love story. This friends-to-lovers and single dad romance was a soothing, delicious and sexy escape from life.

I love the detailing in the stories by Melissa Foster. She creates absoultely relatable and realistic characters with fine details about their life. Like their home, their family and their work. And it doesn't feel like story anymore. Big family with the bonding, support system and unconditional love is another of her speciality. And Call Her Mine had both. And then some more. I was laughing and smiling all the time. And I was swooning so hard too. I felt blissfully happy while reading this story. And that is a feeling to be cherished. It was a sexy, funny, hilarious, adorable and loving story.

Ben is so dreamy, gorgeous and amazing! Life threw a surprise baby but he stood up to the occasion. His soft, caring and protective side melted my heart. He can also be dangerously charming , confident and incredibly sexy. Aurelia is yin to his yang. She has a big loving heart. She has been his forever best friend and also the girl he always wanted but did not try to win her in fear of losing her. And Aurelia also loved him but could not come out of the friend zone. Ben's manwhore tendency did not help but that was Ben's coping mechanism.Now Baby Ben has arrived and they have to face the challenge together. And soon they will admit their feelings. It was slow burn followed by explosive passion and sweetest romance. I loved their intense chemistry so much!

Melissa Foster created another amazing love story in Call You Mine. It was fascinating, engaging and tempting. I was deep in the story with Ben and Aurelia. And the feelings were incredible!

Received ARC for Honest Review

A wonderful start to a new series by the well acclaimed author.
With her signature style, humour, emotion, Melissa Foster brings us another beautiful story, wished it could have been a little longer.

A fabulous read

How adorable is a hot guy with a baby?

Ben and Aurelia are best friends. They also both have a secret: they're in love with their best friend. When a baby gets dropped off at Ben's front door, the two work together to take care of the sweet baby girl and maybe they stop fighting their attraction to each other.

Ben and Aurelia are clearly made for each other. And everyone in their lives seems to know it. I loved that they had this amazing connection. I also love that Aurelia is this amazing, strong business owner. Ben is this sweet guy who is a billionaire. I loved how sweet he was with both Aurelia and his daughter. Some of the book just seemed a little too perfect, but overall, I loved this story. This story is so adorable!

Another great friends to lovers’ story that had will make you laugh and cry as you are reading it. Ben and Aurelia have been friends for years. They sleep in the same bed but no hanky panky is happening even though Aurelia wouldn’t mind if it did. They are just too stubborn to admit the feeling that they have for each other. When she has a chance to start over somewhere else, Ben doesn’t want to lose her. He starts to find ways to make her stay. Finally a really big reason presents itself in the form of a baby. A baby he doesn’t know who the mother is. Ben is a bit of a playboy because instead of being with the one he wants, he compensates by sleeping with everyone else. They will work together to figure out how to be a family. I will admit that I had some tears in my eyes when I was finished with this book. Once you get started, you won’t want to put it down. I read it in one sitting and it was worth it.

I love the Dalton family! I realize this is Ben and Aurelia's love story, but his family and the extended family & friends...they are part of what makes a Melissa Foster book so heartwarming. Aurelia & Ben finally get together with some help from a surprise on the doorstep. Friends to lovers. Perfect blend of feels and passion and humor. So many feels!! Love, love, loved!! Cannot wait for more!! I received a review copy. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Call Her Mine is the first book in the Harmony Pointe series, but it does revisit the Sugar Lake Dalton family. This is a friends-to-lovers, surprise-baby-with-a-twist story.
I enjoyed this book for several reasons. It is well-written, you get to truly know the characters, and you feel invested in the situation. There is a good mix of humor and drama, but not too much drama and angst so that you feel that your heart is constantly breaking. The characters are engaging, intelligent, and actually have character and depth.
I'm a fan of Melissa Foster, and I'm looking forward to more books in this series.

I was definitely hesitant to read this book based on the idea of a baby but I ended up falling completely in love with the whole story line, from start to finish. It is obvious that people make assumptions, as Ben and Aurelia originally did about the baby's mother - but the truth isn't always clear cut.

I also really enjoyed how caring for a new baby was not all "sunshine and smiles". Aurelia's struggle to adjust and her guilt over it were so on point. Just because a parent is not a birth parent does not mean that the struggles with a newborn are not present. This lesson is a strong reminder to all parents that it is okay to say you are overwhelmed and need help.

I cannot wait for the next book in this series!

Ben and Aurelia have been best friends forever. They have also had feelings for each other forever, but neither knows about the others feelings and timing has never been right. When a baby shows up on Ben’s doorstep will it be too late for Ben and Aurelia or will this be the kickstart they need to finally admit their true feelings?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Melissa Foster is one of my favorite authors. I will automatically buy anything she releases. Call Her Mine is definitely one of her best books yet! I enjoyed Ben and Aurelia’s friendship in the Sugar Lake series so I was excited for them to get their own story. I love a good friends to lovers story and this one set the bar high. I adored Ben and Aurelia’s relationship and how they both navigated their new world with Baby B. It was low angst but not without a few surprises. It made me laugh and cry which is always a good sign in my eyes. ⁣⁣

Call Her Mine is one of my favorite reads this year. If you haven’t picked it up yet you are definitely missing out! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review.
