I liked the premise of this book, but at times I felt like I was dragging through mud to get to the heart of the book. And I felt like the last “plot twist” was thrown in there just for dramatics and it would have been fine without it.

I feel like the two books could have been interchangable. Lucy Score has become an author I am quickly auto reading but the two books didnt meet my expectations

Lucy Score never disappoints me! I love a good small town romance and this read was just that! Definitely recommend!

Lucy Score never disappoints. Luke and Harper are the best little couple. I loved the humor and the spice in this book!

“Pretend Your Mine” is book 1 in Lucy Score’s Benevolence series.

It will take readers on a roller coaster of emotions, from funny and engaging to downright aggravating at times. It is enough to keep you invested in the story of Harper and Luke.

Thank you NetGalley and Bloom Books for gifting me this ARC.

This was a cute and for me, quick read and it had some suspense. It must’ve been written quite a while ago

Pretend You're Mine is a sweet small town romance. Luke Garrison, member of the National guard and hometown hero runs into Harper one night. Could it be fate or could it be a good pretend relationship so Luke's family will quit pressuring him to start dating? These two are opposites in so many ways but together they can be amazing. Will their pretend relationship turn into something real? Luke can be stubborn, but Harper quickly holds a special place in his heart. I enjoyed the characters in this book and their storyline. Finding out more about Harper and Luke as the story unfolded really made me love them more. I enjoyed reading this book. Thank you Netgalley for a copy of this book, this is my honest opinion.

I loved several of Lucy Score's books, but this series just didn't end up being for me. I was not able to connect with the main characters. Fun plot line, but it just wasn't the right story for me.

I had recently just learned about this author, so I was excited to read this book. It was a fun read! I immediately was hooked. The banter between the main characters was great. This book really kept me entertained! I cant wait to read more books from this author!

This was a good small town romance.I liked the heroine a lot but she made crazy decisions at times. Hero is a mess, but he eventually grew on me. Add a small town full of nice, equally warm-hearted peeps to the mix.Heartbreaking and lovely and wonderful.

Thank you Netgalley and bloom books for my gifted copy in exchange for an honest review.

Wow that was a long book. It almost seemed like 3 books in 1!! As with any Lucy Score book you will fall in love with this small town and all the characters. Just when you think all the secrets are out there are more to be found! I’m looking forward to reading Gloria and Aldo’s story.

This is a great romance read! I liked how this had the hometown hero, military main character. Lucy Score is an auto-buy author for me, and this book does not disappoint!

So I read the second book in this series first. Which seemed to be happening at the same time as this one. So i knew what would eventually happen.
I wanted to love the story of Harper and Luke but Luke...was on my last nerve.
LIKE OMG DUDE!
But the chemistry between our two characters was great and it was a quick read.

this started out so cringey, ridiculous and over the top that I just could not get into it. the writing felt juvenile. DNF

When Harper gets stuck in a small town the last thing she is looking for is love
I really enjoyed this.
Sex scenes are good.

Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this novel. Check it out! It is worth picking up and keeping on your shelf after reading for reference! #NetGalley #Edelweiss

Lucy Score is an amazing world-builder and I love all her books. I get sucked into the world and don't want to leave. This book was a really quick and exciting read.

Military romances are not my favourite trope so this one was just okay. I don’t feel too strongly about it and it was pretty forgettable.

i decided that lucy score is sadly just not for me, i haven’t been able to get into any of her books.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! No spoilers. Beyond amazing I enjoyed this book so very much. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Could not put down nor did I want to. Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers. Maybe even a book club pick.
