Like You Love Me by Adriana Locke
This was the sweetest childhood friends to lovers book ever! Holden just got fired from his job and broke up with his fiancee, so he comes back to Honey Creek, Tennessee to run his grandpa’s vet clinic for a while while he is out of town. There he runs into Sophie. They were good friends when they were young, and even got married when they were ten. Nothing ever actually happened between them when they were old enough, but there was always an attraction there.
Holden is trying to get his dream job in Florida, and the boss there tells him that Holden getting married is a leg up on the competition since it means he can commit. Holden doesn’t correct him, so now has to figure something out. Sophie runs the bed and breakfast that her grandma left to her, but owes $5,000 in taxes by next month or she will lose it. Holden suggests that they get married. This will help him get the job, and in return he will pay the taxes.
Their attraction for each other has never gone away, and they start to fall for each other. This causes problems when he has to consider moving to Florida. Everything ends up with a happy ending, but this book broke my heart in the process. The romance made up for it though, and definitely pieced my heart back together.
This was my first book by Adriana Locke, but definitely will not be my last. I cannot wait to see where she takes the rest of this series either.
5 stars
I received this book for free in return for an honest review.
