SHE LOVES ME is the third book in Melissa Foster’s “Harmony Pointe” series. Although I hadn’t read the previous books in this series, I was still able to follow along and enjoy SHE LOVES ME. Piper Dalton and Harley Dutch have known each other since they were much younger. Piper briefly dated Harley’s brother Marshall with disastrous results. Although Marshall eventually blew town, he lousy boyfriend behavior left a profound mark on Piper and influenced the way she handles romantic relationships in the present. That past is part of why she is so determined to keep her BFF Harley in the “friend zone”. I love stories in which the hero secretly carries a torch for the heroine – especially when it’s a “friends-to-lovers” situation like this one.

I like how Melissa Foster reverses some common gender stereotypes. In SHE LOVES ME, it’s Piper who works in a typically male-dominated career, has trouble articulating her emotions, dealing with commitment, and who rides to the hero’s rescue when he injures himself. It’s Harley who wears his heart on his sleeve and does the emotional heavy lifting initially. When Harley is injured and needs Piper to help care for himself, his adorable dog, and his nieces, their close confines act as an impetus to change their relationship for the better. Piper is able to look at Harley in a different light. I’m glad that Melissa Foster tells this story from both perspectives, since they can be slow to reveal exactly how they feel and how they see their future. Harley is a flirty and fun guy, but he’s also not pushy. He respects Piper, likes her exactly for who she is without wanting to change her, or have a relationship strictly on his terms. It takes a lot of love and persistence from Harley, but Piper eventually realizes her feelings for her friend change – as much as it frustrates and bedevils her.

SHE LOVES ME is a captivating character-driven romance with a delightful mix of sexy and sweet. Melissa Foster does a great job of balancing the sweet with the sexy bits in SHE LOVES ME. Harley’s young nieces and his dog Jiggs make entertaining secondary characters and alternately give the story some depth and comic relief. I hope to read a story about Harley’s sister in the future. I look forward to hunting down the previous books in this series and devouring.

This has to have been my favorite of this series, and to be honest I wash shocked with myself for having requested it, since I didn't care for the previous two book. But all in all it was enough to past the time. We get reacquainted with Piper and Harley who have been friends for years. So while Piper helps Harley recover from a hurt ankle you know what happens when two attractive and attracted to each other friends spend time together , yup you guessed they start developing feelings. so is it worth it to pass the friends zone?

I fell in love with Piper & Harley, they are my new favorites, and lets not forget good ole Jiggs! 5 stars for this one!
Melissa takes us through Pipers story, we get to know more of what made Piper who she is today! When Harley gets hurt, and shes called in to go pick him up at the hospital, well that's the start of why these two are a perfect match! Read along and experience all the emotions these two will take you through, you will fall in love with them and the dog as well! Not to mention, you get to see glimpses of previous characters, and get caught up with them as well! Melissa delivers the best of both worlds here, a current story and lots of cameos from other characters! That's what I love about her stories! Make sure you grab this asap!!!

Whether Harley realizes it or not, he has been in love with Piper since she was in high school. He has been aware of his feelings for her for a couple of years, but chooses to bide his time. He knows that Piper is fiercely independent, insisting that she will never marry.

Piper was deeply hurt by a cheating boyfriend while in high school and put up walls as a result. She seems to realize that she might like to be a mother someday, but is adamant about never marrying. Harley has been a close friend for a few years, but she begins to realize that she might feel more after he is injured.

Piper agrees to help Harley care for his two nieces as he is recovering from an injury. Harley has flirted with Piper for years, but she has always blown him off, believing that he was just teasing her. Now, for the first time, Harley becomes intent on making Piper aware that he hasn’t been teasing. Can a woman who has spent years putting up walls lower those walls for a man who she believes to be one of the best men she has ever known?

I always like a little Melissa Foster in my life. She doesn't disappoint with this one!
I have not read any of the other books in this series, so I went in blind! Piper is a woman in a man's world, she doesn't let anyone in easily, but Harley is okay with that. He's playing the long game for her heart. Best friends, Piper is taking care of Harley after injuring his ankle. Things start getting hot and steamy....... Definitely enjoyed this quick, fun read.

3/5 stars.

I received this book as an ARC from the publisher, but these opinions are all my own.

How great is Melissa Foster? She killed me with this story with Piper and Harley. Hang on to your kindle with this one. This book got me all sixes and sevens reading it and I wasn't sure who I wanted to clobber more at times, myself or the two of them! Seriously! I absolutely loved this story. It is book three in the Harmony Point series, and here we have Piper Dalton, the only Dalton who is unattached and is determined to stay that way forever. When her good friend and pub owner Harley Dutch injures himself at work, she gets the call to go pick him up. Harley not only owns and runs the pub, he's looking after his two nieces while his sister recovers from serious surgery. Piper works with her father is their construction business. Totally hands on supervisor who has a good crew that works with her and Piper is more than competent when it comes to swinging a hammer or setting tile. Harley and Pipe have been friends forever and since Harley took over the pub 3 years ago she spends most nights in their eating and having a couple of beers. Piper can't just leave Harley alone while he's drugged up on pain meds and someone needs to pick up the girls from school and various other duties that are involved not to mention Harley's drugged up babble about Piper and how Piper is looking at Harley a little differently too.
Piper doesn't know what to do with all this and calls an emergency meeting with her sister who owns the bakery in town, Piper is a serious sugar junkie and copes with any and all crisis with a fix form her sisters bakery. Her sister calls in the troops which include her other sisters, sister in law and a bestie.
With very little direction and a lot of sugar ingested Piper returns to the house after making sure her crew is set up on the renovation they are doing and back to Harleys she goes. The dialogue between the two is hysterical and medicated Harley is extra hot. As the story unfolds we see a lot of the characters from the previous two books, a boatload of denial on Piper's part, Harley doing his best to not scare off the intimidating bad ass Piper and plenty of meddling from both their mothers.
Throw in a couple of mind bending plot twists, love potions and sledge hammering and you have the perfect story! I loved Harley and Piper together and their small victories along with their setbacks, the smoking hot steam between them, it's kindle melting delicious!
Melissa totally delivered a perfectly crazy love story with all the trimmings! It's an absolute must read!
Totally more than 5 stars

Piper Dalton has spent most of her life feeling sure that love and marriage aren't for her, slightly commitmentphobic and happy with her contracting business she's convinced she's not what most men are looking for anyways. Harley Dutch has had eyes for only one woman for years. Unfortunately for him, he's in the friendzone, and Piper has so many walls up it's going to take him forever to get through to her, but that's ok. he has tons of patience.

I adore Piper and Harley, friends to lovers is one of my favorites and this didn't disappoint. I really liked that Piper is a contractor and can definitely hold her own and take charge and that she's unapologetic about it. She was so relatable in having been burned in past relationships by men who wanted to change her. Harley has the patience of a saint, his calm reassuring demeanor was absolutely perfect. I feel like Marshall's story could have been its own book, so incredibly tragic. The only thing I struggle with Melissa Foster's books is all of the side characters. There are so many, even having read the previous two in this series, I still got confused trying to remember who was who. If you love spinoffs and interconnected books/series, she's definitely the author for you. Overall this book is a great story, super sweet and pretty low angst (with the exception of Marshall.).

DNF'd. I do not know why but the story did not pull me enough despite it being quite funny and engaging. I'm really sorry Melissa Foster. This is my second book of yours and it did not resonate with me at all.

If you love a steamy story with fantastic characters you will enjoy reading this story.
Piper is a strong independent woman who works in construction and does not take crap from anyone.
Harley has returned home after years of working on Wall Street and took over the family pub when his father got sick.
Piper and Harley have been family friends for years. So it is not a surprise when Harleys mom calls her to see if she can pick him up from the hospital after he hurt his ankle. Piper agrees to help Harley recover and to help with care for his nieces, while his sister recovers from breast cancer surgery.
Will this additional time together move their relationship out of the friend zone? Will Piper get out of her own way and let herself find real happiness.
You can help but love Harley and Piper. Pipers spunk and no nonsense attitude will provide you laughs and smiles on your face.

Thank you to Netgalley for complimentary copy. The thoughts and opinions are my own.

This is the first book I read from Melissa Foster in this series, and I was able to jump right in with no confusion, so she did a really great job of writing this and although it’s a series it can be read easily as a stand-alone.

I love love love Piper and Harley. Piper is very independent strong big hearted woman who has had some issues in the past with the people she has dated wanting to change her. So she has some rules she follows to keep her from getting hurt. Harley on the other hand so obviously loves her. But can he break through her walls?

OMG! I loved this book!!!
This is the third book in a series - that is so much fun to read! I will definitely be keeping this book to read it again!

Piper is a total strong-willed spitfire! Harley is a natural hero/protector. Together, is where they were always meant to be!



I received an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Piper"s sass and unconventionality was such a breath of fresh air to read ,and interwoven into the story were moments of hilarity and girl power.The banter and innuendos between her and Harley were cliched but fun and showcased Piper's wit and ability to give as good as ,if not better than she got.She presented a tough ,devil may care ,invulnerable outer shell, but inside she was desperate for something more but too afraid to submit to it willingly.Harley was the perfect man to make her realize there was more to life than construction and beer.This book was a truly fun ,well paced and enthralling read that only took a few hours to finish and incorporated so many previous characters from other series that were great to re-visit..Another winner for Melissa Foster and I'm anticipating Marshall's story.

Enjoyable romance between Piper, a construction boss who has to be tough to keep the respect of her crew, and her friend Harley, a bar owner who likes to verbally spar with her. When Harley hurts his leg and Piper is the only one who can take care of him sparks fly and things get interesting. Snarky fun with sweet romance.

I definitely like this author books but this series has just been ok for me?! I don't know maybe it's me? But I can't get a great book to save my life?! This is the third book in this series and like I said its just ok for me, it's definitely worth reading but just ok! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

Thank you to netgalley for the ARC of She Loves Me! I’ve read a bunch of books in this series and I enjoy this author. I like the characters and the setting. Harley and Piper were so cute and I enjoyed this well written story!

Piper and Harley's story is the 3rd book in the Harmony Pointe series. I love Piper's fierce personality and her drive to make it in the male dominated construction field. Her relationship with Harley starts off as good friends and moves on after Harley has to take care of his two nieces and needs Piper's help. As with all of Melissa Fosters' books the relationship really evolves and I love the dynamics she shows.

I do have an issue with the cover. I did not care for it at all and feel like it does not match her description of Harley. It does not come close to showing Harley as a a burly bar owner!!

I was given a free ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Favorite one in this series!! Really enjoyed the whole story - totally rooted for Piper and Harley. This was a fun, easy read. Add this one (can totally be read as a stand alone but you should read the whole series) to your summer reading list.

Thank you #netgalley and #montlakeromance for the eARC.

Oh my heart ❤️. This book just had the best HEA I've read in a long time.

I loved this book. Piper is such a great character it totally stunk that she had such a hard time believing it and holding herself back. Harley was utterly swoon-worthy and his absolute unwavering love for Piper is everything A girl could want. I fell in love with all the characters, most of whom have books in this series, but you do not have to have read them to enjoy Piper and Harley’s story. I'm definitely a sucker for a Friends to lovers romance and that was definitely what you get here. I hope this isn't the last for these characters because I’ve fallen love. Going back to read the other Dalton’s story for sure. There are some steamy scenes in this book so if that's not your cup of tea you may want to pass on this one

I enjoyed revisiting Sweetwater and the Daltons.

What I liked:
The writing style
The characters
Part of a series: Harmony Pointe
Standalone
HEA
Epilogue

I look forward to reading more from this author.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC from NetGalley.

I have a lot of love for Piper Dalton. She is tough, unapologetic, and loves with her whole heart. Harley Dutch is perfect book boyfriend material. A teddy bear of a man who loves Piper with all his heart. Throughout this story, I don't think anyone doubts Harley's feelings for Piper. The only question is whether she will let him in to her life.

Piper has been burned repeatedly by men who want her to change or be something other than herself. Her reaction has been to cut herself off from the possibility of love. Harley has watched Piper from the sidelines for a long time, firmly in the friend zone. But now he is fighting his way out in a big way - and wants to show Piper just how serious he is about her.

This was a lovely read - filled with all the best dynamics of a small-town and closely-knit families. You definitely don't need to read any of the other books to feel right at home with the Daltons. They welcome you in and make you a part of their family every time.

This is another great book by Melissa Foster. A sweet, extremely sexy book with just the right amount of drama.

Loved it.
