Really loved this one!! The main characters, Piper and Harley, are so fun and perfect together. The story has a nice easy pace and definitely left me smiling. I highly recommend this book even if you haven't read the other books in the series. This is easily read standalone. Don't miss it!

I received She Loves Me by Melissa Foster as an ARC copy. This is Piper Dalton and Harley Dutch’s story. Piper runs a construction business with her dad and Harley runs the pub that has been in his family for quite sometime. I loved how Piper was such a strong woman on the outside but boy she had some serious trust issue. Piper had dated Harley’s brother Marshall back in high school and she was around the family a lot. Marshall ends up breaking Piper’s heart. Harley is the man that takes care of everyone especially his Mom, sister Delaney and of course Piper. Piper sees Harley as her best friend but Harley wants more. It was fun to see this play out and to see that their mothers both had a lot to do with the match making! Piper’s mom makes magic love potions and she was supply Harley with the washes. When Piper and Harley really start becoming a couple Marshall shows back up! Let’s just say trouble starts. Harley was a little mean to Marshall but then after Marshall tells his story of why he has been absent from them all it becomes really sad to me that o one in the family was their for Marshall.

Also, loved that Harley took care of his nieces while Delaney was recovering. The dance was the best part and Harley’s outfit!

Piper is so afraid of commitment she about flubs the relationship up. I loved when the break in at Willow’s bakery occurred. Especially how they found Piper and Jiggs the dog.

She Loved Me by Melissa Foster is a beautifully written and enjoyable read.

The storyline held my interest from start to end, the characters all added to my enjoyment and I loved watching Piper and Harley come together.

Overall, She Loves Me is a heartwarming read and a lovely addition to the Harmony Pointe Series. Each book can be read as a standalone and I highly recommend them all.

Piper and Harley are so not a typical couple, so of course they’re a perfect Melissa Foster couple. Seeing the two of them interact in other books, to finally get their story was worth the wait.

Piper is such a kick butt female, she doesn’t take any garbage from anyone, and she knew what she didn’t want, all until Harley needed help with his nieces.

And Harley... can I find a guy like him, please? Takes care of his family, takes his time, owns a business... And takes care of Jiggs.

These two will make you laugh and cry, have you reaching for donuts, and wondering how to get your own Foster hero.

Loved this, easy read but really enjoyable story. Feisty female and swoon worthy male character. Very funny in places

I absolutely loved this historical romance! the main characters had great chemistry, and the secondary characters added some great texture to the plot. Can't wait to read the next in the series.

Burly Harley sure has met his match in Piper Dalton! Piper takes no crap when it comes to men, and she shouldn't since she runs her own construction company. Harley is no different in Pipers world but when the sparks fly between the two, be ready for fireworks! Piper doesn't only fix things around Harley's house but she also fixes the hole that has been vacant in Harley and her hearts. Hobbling around in this book gets a fantastic HEA.

This author knows how to tell a damn good small-town romance story. I was totally smitten with this story.

Melissa Foster is such a skilled author. She is a very natural storyteller and her writing style is so easy to read. I love how she is able to connect each of her books with a cast of characters that gets better with every book. I love how the characters in her books are interwoven into other books so seamlessly. This is one the second book that I have read by this author and I wasn't the least bit confused about these characters. Curious about some of them that I haven't read about yet, yes. But never confused. I really enjoyed the plot of the story. Much of the plot is character-based so the story grows as the characters grow. The story never has a dull moment. I was so engrossed with this story from start to finish.

The characters were crafted wonderfully. Both Harley and Piper are characters that have a lot of depth. I really like the way the author lets the reader get to know them through the story. It is very intimate and natural. Harley and Piper experience amazing character growth in the story. The cast of secondary characters is amazing. By the end of the book, you are wanting to pick up all the other books that she has written just so you can get to know the secondary characters better. I really loved the family and friendships in the book.

The romance was very organic. It just felt right. Harley and Piper had known each other for years and they had been friends the whole time. They had a very tangible chemistry with one another. It was so easy to see how perfect they were for each other. And I loved that they were friends first. It really made things hot hot hot in the bedroom when their relationship started to change.

Overall, this was a beautifully told story about self-discovery and acceptance. The plot was engaging, the characters were so realistic and likable, and the romance was absolutely perfect. I really can't wait to read more books from this world!

Such a sweet and swoony read. I loved the best friends to lovers storyline and think the two main characters were extremely likeable and that this would be a perfect read if your looking for something quick and fun to read!

Thank you Tasty PR for our gifted review copy.

This is a really fun & sweet friends to lovers small-town romance. This is my first book by Melissa, but certainly not my last! This is charming, romantic & the slower speed of the relationship makes it more believable to me.

Definitely recommend this title & I would read more in the series.

Another great book from Melissa Foster! Piper doesn’t see herself as caring or nurturing, but when her friend Harley needs help, she jumps in. What she doesn’t expect is for their friendship to suddenly turn into more.

A sweet romance which is at times poignant and made me teary. This one knocks it out of the park.

Thanks to the publisher for a review copy via NetGalley.

Piper and Harley....*sigh* Can I just say how much I loved this couple? Then you throw in Jiggs, the dog and it was an absolute winner!!

Piper and Harley have known each other for years...as friends. Piper is a commitment-phobe if there ever was one and Harley is the perfect guy for any woman to settle down with. The problem is he wants her....he just has to convince her. This was a great friends-to-lovers book. You couldn't help but cheer for this couple. I won't say there weren't moments that I wanted to throw my e-reader because Piper could definitely frustrate me, but she had issues so what could I do? I kept reading. Piper is a very independent woman to the point that many men have been threatened by her job and confidence. She's a very take charge person - - you have to love that about her. What I didn't love was how hard she made things for Harley at times.

Harley is a family man through and through. He's spent his life taking care of his family and cleaning up his brother's messes. He prioritizes his mother, sister and nieces above himself. If she'll let him, he'll prioritize Harley above himself as well...but she's a bit gun-shy of that level of commitment. It's a good thing that Harley is also quite determined because he will have to be to get through to her.

The secondary characters are awesome as well. I see potential for at least two more books after this one and I'm super excited about that. Even though this book is part of a series, you can easily read it as a standalone.

Thank you to NetGalley for this readers copy in exchange for an honest review.

I liked the premise of this book, but for me I felt like there was so much information about so many characters to take in I was left feeling a little overwhelmed.

I did notice it was book 3 of a series, and whilst I haven’t read the other 2, I’m wondering if that much character detail was needed when you assume people had read the previous 2 so would know about the characters backstories already.

Harley and Pipers friends to lovers story was outstanding. I love Pipers spunkiness and her take charge attitude. She is so different from most heroines, she is not a girly girl by any means, but she loves with all her heart. Once you start this one it's almost impossible to put down, it will make you laugh with the funny lines and the sexy banter between Harley and Piper. Harley works so hard to help Piper repair her heart and show her that she is well worth the love and sacrifice. I want a mad house like Pipers.

She Loves Me, is the perfect reason why I keep reading Melissa Foster’s writing. You will laugh at the shenanigans, cry at the heart-to-heart moments, and be in awe of this group of family/friends. Harley and Piper have been friends for years but never knew that their other half was a touch away. Love doesn’t change you it makes you want to change.

So Melissa Foster has released her third book in the Harmony Pointe series and I for one wanted to dance on my lawn! Not just because it’s quarantine and 3pm on a Saturday and those Bailey's coffees taste amazing! Oh no! It’s because it’s another chance to delve into the world of Harmony Pointe!

Now, for full disclosure, I have not read book 2 in the series, mainly because I struggle with Rockstar romances, but I honestly think that all of the author's books can be read as a stand-alone, as she introduces the characters in a new and refreshing way in each book.

She Loves Me is the classic Best Friends to lovers via a detour of denial-land along the way! But Harley and Piper are perfect together and you honestly cannot help but fall in love with them. Harley is a sweet but hot as hell man who just wants to protect his family and get Piper to realize he feels more than just friendship. And then there is Piper, who wants to keep Harley in the friend zone after being hurt in the past.

Disregard anything claim I have made in the past, THIS IS MY FAVORITE MELISSA FOSTER BOOK OF ALL TIME!! It’s is a beautiful book filled with love, heartbreak, and second chances and is definitely a must-read for 2020!

She Loves Me is the third book int the Harmony Pointe series. It works well as a stand alone. There are a lot of characters that show up from other books by this author, but it isn't necessary to have read them to follow along with this one. This is Piper and Harley's story. I love friend to lovers stories and this one was no exception. I also love when the roles are reversed and it's the female who has the majority of the baggage and is reluctant to give into her feelings. I enjoyed watching Harley slowly break down Piper's barriers. Piper was a breathe of fresh air. I loved her no filter rough exterior. Harley was the perfect guy for her with his patience. Their banter was hilarious. Their compromise toward the end was perfect! This is such a fun and endearing romance that I highly recommend.

This was not my favorite Melissa Foster, if I am being honest. I didn't love the main characters. Harley and Piper were ok. Piper seemed a little much for me at times.
