Like You Love Me

Adriana Locke — 2021

Two childhood friends are playing house--and maybe playing for keeps--in USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke's funny, sexy, and unpredictable marriage-of-convenience romance. To save her Tennessee bed-and-breakfast, Sophie Bates needs a fast-cash miracle. Holden McKenzie, her childhood best friend, needs to prove to a prospective employer that he's a committed man. Their fortunes on the line, Holden proposes...a solution. He'll take care of Sophie's bills if she agrees to a temporary marriage of convenience. And why not? They're comfortable together, they have fun, and they trust each other. It's as simple as saying "I do." But the off-the-cuff wedding has all of Honey Creek talking--and Sophie and Holden realizing that their perfect arrangement is working too well. If they're not careful, this marriage could turn into a love story.

"Because the truth is, Holden McKenzie isn't mine, he was on loan to me. He was sent here to teach me something, maybe just to have hope again. To understand love. To know it in its realest form." Like You Love me was the perfect book for "the month of love." Sophie Bates and Holden McKenzie have known each other since they were kids. Even got married once with a ring pop. But with Holden's life leading him away to Arizona... he's back now in Tennessee helping Pap's with his veterinarian clinic... cleaning ferret poop and taking care of the small town locals. Staying at the local B&B till he hears back from an opportunity for his dream job, he may need the inn hosts help for more than just a room for a few weeks. Sophie Bates is broke after her ex took everything she had... and her Grandmother's B&B is falling apart.. soon she will lose it all... until a man with gorgeous green eyes offers her a deal she can't refuse. Read if you love: -a sweet romance -no drama, no teasers -a southern small town with "hart of dixie" vibes -quirky characters -a quick and easy read Rating: story-⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ romance- marriage of convenience steam- just Goldie Locks' perfect bed.... juuuuuust right Song: Yours by Russel Dickerson Thank you to Social Butterfly PR and Adriana Locke for my EARC. it was the perfect treat for valentines day.
