A huge thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for gifting me a copy of this ARC!

Nothing like a Brit across the pond finding love to put me back in the summertime mood! This book is great for Emily Henry fans. I thought the characters were so funny and likable, and there was plenty of good old fashioned banter to keep this reader interested. It was a cute story that wasn't heavy at any point and was a great palate cleanser for me following some non-fiction reads. I'll be waiting for more Kelk titles!!

pretty cliche but very cute - liked the fmc and mmc together. slow at times wish it picked up a little more

Lindsey Kelk is an auto-read author for me because I know her books will always leave me laughing. Love Me Do kept my attention as Phoebe got up to everything exploring her sisters mansion and LA. I found the storyline to be a bit whimsical and far fetched however; that's the kind of book i want to read to escape from it all!

I had to gently DNF this book.

I struggled to connect with the characters and didn’t love their relationship. The writing was good, and I think there are a lot of people who will enjoy this!

Phoebe makes greeting cards for a living but is visiting her sister in LA to get away from an ex who is getting married. Her sister has to travel to Seattle for work but she quickly meets Ren... the lovely neighbor.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the review copy of this title.

I really loved this story.

A nice, adorable beach read. Very rom com and funny. I look forward to reading others by Kelk. Thanks for the review copy.

This was well-written and fun, but it wasn’t hitting like a romance book should for me. The romance felt like it was rushed and not built-up enough like it was an afterthought. I want my main couple to be happy together more than the last 5% of the book. Again, this wasn’t a bad book by any means, it just wasn’t anything special.

Did not finish due to cheating in the book. The cover originally drew me in. I unfortunately made the decision to stop reading as soon as the cheating was introduced.

This is a little outside my regular reading comfort zone, but it was a lot of fun! Cute, beachy, sun-soaked. There was a good balance of romance and women's lit for me, and I think it will appeal to a lot of readers.

This was such a cute and fun read by Lindsey Kelk! I really enjoyed the Christmas Wish, and was so excited to read another novel by the author. Similar to the last title I read, this book was well-written and left me laughing out loud several times. Great pace and flow and I loved all of the secondary characters in addition to Phoebe and Ren. The author has a knack for creating characters who seem like real people and side characters that we all have a friend or sibling that they are similar to. Lindsey Kelk will now always be an auto-read for me when she releases a new book!

Thank you to Harper 360 and NetGalley for the advanced read of Love Me Do by Lindsey Kelk.

This book, published in September of 2023, is great for those of us who love a good rom com. I had read Lindsey Kelk’s The Christmas Wish, which I enjoyed, so I was looking forward to this book. It did not disappoint! And one of my issues with The Christmas Wish were all the British references… but this book luckily took place in California. ;)

Phoebe Chapman travels to the Hollywood Hills to visit her workaholic sister, but ends up befriending her bubbly personal trainer and handsome carpenter neighbor instead. There is matchmaking, silly situations, romance, and lots of sunshine filled scenes that transport you to LA. I really enjoyed the main and secondary characters. And as far as rom com books go, this fits that bill perfectly!

Such a cute romance with some surprising deep moments! I loved the way that each of the characters had something that they were working through for the duration of the story but still complemented each other

I completely underestimated this book. From the beginning, it was such a fabulous read and such a cute love story. It was completely unexected and not the traditional love story -- but sometimes you just need that! You need to have the unexpected. This author brought a different style of humor and I am still giggling thinking about different aspects. This truly intrigued me to read more by this author!

I had a difficult time finishing this one... the characters and relationships between them seemed too underdeveloped for the story to be realistic. It was also quite predictable. None of the characters, perhaps except Myrna, were particularly likable either.

I requested this book because Lindsey Kelk has always been a safe bet for those of us who do not like to read open door scenes - imagine my surprise when I heard her latest had an open door scene in it! So, I did not finish this book, and I don’t plan to check out any of her future works unless I hear she’s gone back to her roots.

Loved that it was set in LA but I didn’t love it too much. The writing flowed and it’s light hearted and a summer read to enjoy poolside.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins for the eARC! This was a retelling of Cyrano which initially drew me to the novel. Light-hearted and definitely Summertime coded, this was enjoyable! A fun romance read for any romance fan!

This book has vivid scenes and is a great escape from reality. There are many parts where I was laughing out loud.

This book was adorable! It was such a fun and quick summer read and also, I adore the cover. The setting of the book was really fun and the banter between the main characters was top tier. If you need a palette cleanser or even just a fun beach rom com, I’d highly recommend picking this one up.
