I had previously read Camera Shy and loved it. When I heard this book would be Friends to Lovers I wasn't too convinced I wanted to read it, but when I read that it would be about a marriage of convenience I was all in.
Kay has such a fluid way of writing that you really don't notice the time, and before I knew it I was totally immersed with the story and was more than half way through the book.
I loved Lennox's sass, I want a friend like that in my life, and I loved Dex's love dump for her. It was a really good read, with lots of love and lots of laughs too.
Life has a way of interfering, and life has everyone wondering what is happening. But once they figure things out, their life gets easier, and things come together for some. For others, it takes a little bit longer, but Lennox has a sassy little attitude, that makes it so much fun. At times, it was like, things just got thrown up in the air, and pieces of their lives came down, and they had to figure out where they all fit, Enjoy how they begin to put the pieces, how it all comes together, and all the exciting things that happen.
I received an ARC from Page & Vine through NetGalley.
"My wife." 🤤
That line was chef's kiss.
That and the dedication had me melting because d@mn.
I loved Lennox and her sassiness. She felt b@d@$$ to me and those are my favorite type of FMCs.
I loved Dex's cinnamon roll/ golden retriever vibes when it came to Lennox.
The chemistry between these two had me captivated the entire time.
If you love friends-to-lovers, marriage of convenience, and hidden identity, then this book is for you.
This was my first read by Kay Cove but it won't be my last.
I had previously read Camera Shy by Kay Cove and really enjoyed the story, so I was excited to give Snapshot a try. I ended up loving it even more! Dex and Lennox had such a great story, and it made me enjoy tropes that I'm normally not a big fan of - marriage of convenience and billionaire. I think that the marriage of convenience trope worked for me in this story because they had already been friends for a while and were comfortable with each other, which made it feel like more of a natural next step. The billionaire trope was less bothersome for me personally because Dex didn't flaunt his money with extravagant things most of the time. Their interactions were great, I enjoyed the spice, and overall this was a great read.
Lennox and Dex get into a pretend marriage of convince, so he can take over the company from his grandmother. but will it turn into true love?
Spicy read. Lennox is on a bumpy ride through life. Dex is faced with major life decisions. They come together by chance but, both of their lives are altered forever. Characters and storyline keep your interest. Recommend. I was given an advanced reader copy of this book by NetGalley and I am freely sharing my review.
This book gets an A+++ for me. A first Kay Cove read for me and most definitely not the last! It has all the feels… friendship, betrayal, love, heartbreak, romance, acceptance and denial. I could keep reading about Lennox and Dex’s lives together endlessly. And Dottie? Her letters made my eyes water. Her words of wisdom to Dex about what’s important in life shattered my emotions. The spice level was super hot too! Sure not to disappoint. This is a story I will happily reread.
I love a friend's to lovers trope and this one has just the right amount of steam and sweetness! This was my first book by Kay Cove but won't be my last.
When Lennox has a string of bad luck, losing her job and potentially losing her apartment, she doesn't think anything will turn her life around. Dex is rich, heir to a multi million dollar company and has no time for love. But when he is given an ultimatum by his grandmother that he has to be married in order to take over the company he suggests to Lennox that they can help each other. Can Lennox pull off pretending to be married to Dex? Will the fake feelings become real feelings?
Great book! Many thanks to NetGalley for the ARC!
Heir to cruise ship conglomerate, forced to take a break before stepping into the business he’s destined for, meets a down on her luck, hot mess at an out of control house party. Having been burned in the past, Dex decides to deny his instant attraction to Lennox and keep things platonic.
Upon his grandmother’s passing, she throws a wrench in his plans when she wills the business to his non-existent wife. Their friendship turns into marriage of convenience that quickly becomes much more than either of them could imagine.
Great sexy times between the main characters and some surprising twists and turns made for a good story. This is a new to me author and I think I will check out her other books.
I loved this book! It had everything -- friends to lovers, billionaire hero, quirky heroine. It had the right amount of spice -- when Lennox and Dex do get together, it's an inferno!! The writing flowed, and the story kept me engaged from the first page. I highly recommend this title and will be recommending it to my own readers!
This is my first book by this author and it definitely won't be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed this and can't wait to read more. The pace and the story kept me intrigued. Thank you so much for the ARC!
Be careful what you get yourself into when you think you've got it all figured out....SNAPSHOT by Kay Cove is a fast-paced romance with strong characters, high stakes, and a fascinating premise: Lennox and Dex are friends who set up a marriage of convenience for him to secure a family fortune and business and for her to depart richer and better for the experience -- until they get into it and realize grandma Mimi might have known more than expected in setting up the marriage clause for Dex to take charge. As far-fetched as the premise felt, I quickly fell under the spell of an excellent storyteller and the full, rich characters, situations, and settings of a very satisfying, roller coaster of a read. I received a copy of this book and these thoughts are my own, unbiased thoughts.
Snapshot is the second book in Kay Cove’s series Lessons in Love. It’s a friends to lovers and marriage of convenience romance.
Thank you for allowing me an ARC copy, this was a really good read. The writing was very good and kept me engaged the entire time. I basically read it in one sitting, aka... I never sleep.
I thought the story was about the grandmother, but she is what brought the couple together. The best relationships start at as friends. Everyone is not always so lucky to have that, and it was very personal for me.
I really loved how Lennox and Dex never allowed the outside world to determine their reactions to one another. Only trusted each other's word and actions establishing unbreakable loyalty. You almost always read about someone getting the wrong idea...not in this story. I found it very refreshing!
From the beginning I could see where the story was headed, but just to see it through and it was a great journey. I knew who was going to be the troublemaker and couldn't wait to reveal their plans. Whenever I saw it coming and Lennox didn't, I was shouting out loud. Made for great reading to me.
Again, this story was very personal to me in many ways involving the past loves, best friends to lovers, and enemies within. I would definitely read any conclusion stories to this one or any from this author. Thank you again for the ARC.
P.S. A small section at the end of the first letter from Dottie was cut out or blank on my copy (location 5399 of 7409). But when I click to see the notes, the passage shows there. It could just be my device, but wanted to include in the feedback.
What a fun romance. I really loved both of the main characters Len and Dex. They were so suited for each other and so much fun together. I found the story to be unique and entertaining from the start. The book was a little long, but overall still good. There were a few surprises and the ending was satisfying. I will look for more books by this author in the future. I received an advance copy from NetGalley and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the ARC for my honest review.
Absolutely amazing book. This book made me feel so many emotions. 100% recommend.
This might just be my most favorite read of this year! Lennox is true to herself but underestimates her skills and abilities. She meets Dex and does not know he is a billionaire many times over. They become friends without knowing each is in love with the other. The story really revolves around Dex’s beloved Grandmother and how she wanted him to live a life of love. I simply adored this story and Lennox and Dex.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
The story is a journey of friendship to so much more. I loved reading about Lennox and Dex start as friends who struggle with keeping their attraction to each other hidden or the sake of maintaining an awesome friendship.
Dex’s grandmother Dottie’s letters give context to why she felt it was so important for Dex to follow his heart. I kept holding my breathe towards the end waiting for the typical 3rd act forced breakup, especially as some epic situations occurred, but I loved that these two characters worked through their issues, struggles and misunderstandings regardless of everything else.
This was my first book by the author and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish!
I received a free ARC from the author; and I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased review.
I love this book! It's a friends to lovers romance and you can just tell that there was a true friendship between Lennox and Dex as well as an amazing romance. Dex is the husband any girl would want, the way he sticks up for Lennon no matter what and loves her wholehearted is adorable.
I'm going to go back and read the first book of the series because if it's anything like this book then it'll be amazing. I couldn't put the book down once I started it.
Dex and Lennon have been friends for 3 years when Dex needs Lennox help to gain the business his grandmother left him, due to Lennox unresolved feelings and true friendship with Dex she agrees and so builds a hot romance between the two. I think I fell in love with the characters due to being able to see that there's true love and friendship for eachother and neither character would want to hurt the other. Wish there was 2 more books on this couple alone.
Thank you to @netgalley and @kaycove for the arc of this book.
Spicy, male female, friends to lovers, marriage of convenience, contemporary romance, Slow burn but very spicy. Loved all of the characters (main and secondary - great flashbacks!). Very well written and engaging. I wish I had read the first book in the series (Camera Shy) but will remedy that asap. I can't wait until the third book (Selfie) comes out!
