Ahhh! I loved this!!! I think this might be my favorite Lindsey Kelk novel to date. I expected to be frustrated by the Cyrano de Bergerac storyline because I hate a lack of honesty or communication between couples, but the way Lindsey wrote this story was perfect! There was a building tension between Pheobe and Ren, that was so delicious, and I loved the way Phoebe and Bell supported each other. The nods to The Holiday were also so heartwarming and wonderful! I loved every minute of it!
Omg adorable!! Such a cute read--I sped through it and couldn't put it down! Loved the story and characters.
Thank you NetGalley and Lindsey Kelk!
Really great book, it had me on my toes the entire time and I’m really interested in reading more from this author really soon.
This was such a feel good rom-com with lots of humor and charm. It was a breezy, heartwarming read that explores love, friendship, and the surprises life loves to throw your way.
I'm pretty sure this is my first Lindsey Kelk book and I know it won't be my last! It was so heart-warming and emotional and so well-written, I will be recommending this to anyone looking for a sweet, beach read.
3.5 stars. The romance was honestly the least interesting part of this book. With elements of The Holiday and Cyrano de Bergerac, the story of Englishwoman Phoebe coming to visit her sister in LA for two weeks was really about friendship, sisterhood, and finding yourself. Next door neighbor Ren is adorable and kind, with his obsessively nerdy birdwatching, but there’s a suspension of disbelief needed to accept that he and Phoebe are both willing to consider some huge life changes after only knowing each other half a month.
Thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for the ARC to review. All opinions are my own.
One of my favorite romance reads to date! Instant Lindsey Kelk fan from this one... I loved everything about Love Me Do and will recommend it to anyone looking for a heart-warming romance with some substance. Perfect for the beach or pool!
"Love Me Do" is a delightful journey through the sun-soaked streets of Los Angeles, blending the warmth of friendship with the excitement of budding romance. Phoebe Chapman, a lovelorn Brit, finds herself thrust into the heart of Hollywood's Hills, where she becomes entangled in the lives of her sister's personal trainer, Bel, and the charming carpenter next door, Ren.
With its dreamy summer setting and irresistible charm, "Love Me Do" is a captivating love story that reminds us of the magic of serendipity and the power of love in unexpected places. So, dive in, soak up the sunshine, and let yourself be swept away by this enchanting romcom.
I'm not sure how this is the first Lindsey Kelk book I've read, but I'm excited to read more in the future! This was fun, sweet, emotional, and well-written. I had a great time living in this world and it makes such a wonderful beach read.
Unfortunately I just couldn’t get into this story. I wanted to see where the romance went but all the other stuff wasn’t enough to keep me interested in the main character.
Love Me Do is the sweetest summer vibe book that you need to pick up! This romance is not just a fun, fluffy tune but it also has depth and i really enjoyed that about this book. The cover is absolutely stunning and I’m really excited to read more from this author! Highly recommend!
Phoebe flys from the UK to LA to visit her sister Suzanne for two weeks. When she arrives, Suzanne says she has to leave that night to Seattle for work. Phoebe decides to stays at her nice house in LA anyway. She soon meets the gorgeous neighbor, Ren. They immediately hit it off. The next day Phoebe meets Suzanne’s personal trainer, Bel. They become fast friends and when Phoebe learns that Bel has the hots for Ren she decides to set them up. In the process of setting them up Phoebe notices she has feelings for Ren but she pushes them aside since she is just visiting.
I loved this story so much. The connection between Phoebe and Ren was so strong and the emotions that were felt with the whole quasi “love triangle” were so palpable and I was screaming internally the whole time Phoebe kept pushing for Ren and Bel to work out. The addition of the character, Myrna, was perfect for the story and it gave this old Hollywood glamour element that I loved (also created some ‘The Holiday’ vibes which I am always down for!) I was really worried that this one wasn’t going to have a happily ever after, but of course this romance didn’t let me down. It just really waited until the last moment. I would definitely recommend this sweet romance.
Thank you to HarperCollins and to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a review. This was a romance with a cute premise but unfortunately fell a little bit flat for me. Phoebe Chapman is a British greeting card writer on holiday in Los Angeles to visit her sister. But when her sister has to leave town for work suddenly she is wrapped up in helping set up her sister's friend with the cute boy next door.
I did enjoy parts of this book but ultimately I think it couldn't decide exactly what it wanted to be. It had elements of a love triangle, a vacation romance, and even kind of fake dating. However, I found myself more interested in the side plots (helping out an old Hollywood actress and her relationship with her sister) and in the beautiful LA setting than I was in the actual romance aspect. It was a cute story and I found the writing actually pretty funny at times but it was not my favorite romance.
This was such a feel-good book. Overcoming devastating life events and rebuilding confidence with new friends and family who truly are on Phoebe's side was refreshing and shows the power of surrounding yourself with people who truly want the best for you. The characters were all fun in their own way and the mash of the different personalities worked so well. A delightful read for my spring break!
Perfect Rom-com and love letter to LA. Hilariously slow romance that just put a huge smile to your face constantly. I did struggle at times with how slow it could get and then the ending...felt like something was missing. But over all enjoyed the read.
This book gave me alllll the fanny flutters and I got sucked into the love story from the first page. Brit is a perfectly imperfect FMC that I felt myself really feeling connected to, and even though I didn’t agree with every decision she made, I could 100% put myself in her place which had me feeling even more invested in the story!
Would definitely recommend!
A fun adult contemporary romance, with good characters and plot!
