So much potential for this book.

Like Millie's character, I'll give you a list:

1-Glass wearing MMC. Not see that often and need to capitalize on that like maybe description of his eyes within the frame and without or maybe a cute way as a prop when he's interacting with the FMC.

2-Youth. Not a sufficient reason as to why they didn't work out. Need the MMC to work for it esp since she easily fell into his arms physically.

3-Will's sudden responsibility for Grandpa given his diagnosis should reflect more scenes of him stepping up or flashbacks to their relationship as a young child with him to show the devotion as to why he returned.

First, a huge thank you to NetGalleyfor the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

Millie, Be Mine is a charming and heartfelt romance with plenty of swoon-worthy moments. While it didn’t quite reach the level of emotional depth or sharp writing I was hoping for, it still delivered an enjoyable, feel-good story with engaging characters and a fun premise.

Millie is a relatable, endearing protagonist, and her journey—both in love and personal growth—kept me invested. Her chemistry with William had some truly sweet moments, and their banter brought a lighthearted charm to the story. However, I found myself wanting a bit more depth in the writing and character development to make the emotional beats hit harder.

Oh my god! Absolutely devoured this book in one sitting. Currently in bed at 4am unable to sleep because of how good this book was!!

I’m so incredibly grateful to have read this. The love story was beautiful and the sub plots were amazing. You know the writing is perfect when you care about the side characters and I’m sat here hoping and praying that we get books of them all.

Quite possibly one of my favourite romance books in a very long time with two of my all time favourite tropes - second chance and childhood friends to lovers - as well as other tropes such as brothers best friend and fake dating!! Sounds like a lot of tropes but it was done in such a perfect way and blended together so well.

The chemistry between Will and Millie was so amazingly written; I could feel it from the first chapter. Never in my life did I think I’d be in love with a man called William but William Blake Carter the man that you are. I loved how much they grew as individuals but also together as a couple and how much that Will wanted to prove that things were different this time.

I also loved the business aspect of this book, which I don’t tend to really focus on. I loved how Millie grew as a person and as a business owner. I also loved the fact that Will and Millie had to work together and how they made that dynamic work at first.

There were two other plots that I absolutely adored but won’t mention for spoiler purposes.

Not only did I love the main characters but I also loved the side characters with the small town behaviours. I’m so beyond excited for the rest of the books in this series.

6 stars if I could!!

this was cute!!

I love small town romance and this was definitely that! both the mc's were adorably sweet and unfailingly in love. i loved the cast of characters in this town and how they all came together whenever somebody needed help. i also loved the storyline with will's grandpa and the journey to acceptance about his dementia and him needing more help than will could provide him (i.e. a senior home)

My only criticism is that there wasn't quite enough tension in this book! They're basically together from the very start, the "fake" dating isn't even fake longer than like 30 seconds, they come up with the fake dating plan and then minutes later are making out in private with nobody around. I would have appreciated a bit of a slower burn or maybe her taking a bit more time to forgive will!
