Lindsey Kelk can do no wrong. I love Pheobe and Ren.

This love story is captivating, funny and sincere.
I love the way that Lindsey Kelk can make you laugh, tear up, and swoon in the same page.

Such an awesome romance!

This was a sweet, sunny California romance novel, and I loved it!

I loved Phoebe, the main character who is a proper British girl who still has scars from a previous relationship.

She's visiting her sister's fancy house in the States and ends up befriending a handsome neighbor.

To add to the excitement of the neighborhood, Phoebe also meets Myrna, a former Hollywood starlet who is now in her 80's.

Myrna is a hilarious character and adds so much to the book!

The book is so much fun and a very enjoyable read! I definitely recommend it!

Thank you to #netgalley for this ARC of #lovemedo

This was a cute story with a main character who was very easy to like. This was my first time reading this author and I will definitely be looking for more of her books. The story is as cute as the cover!!

I absolutely adore Lindsey Kelk novels! This one was cute and I was very entertained by the shenanigans the MC got herself into! Definitely a fun light read!

This book was a great quick read. It was a little predictable, but I was okay with that as it was a palate cleanser for me after reading some heavy stories before it. I loved and related to the main characters and enjoyed how their stories intertwined. Overall? I look forward to more from this author!

Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for this advanced copy!

This was charming and cute. Phoebe takes a long-needed vacation (conveniently timed when her ex is getting married) to visit her sister in Los Angeles. Her sis Suzanne has a huge house in the Hollywood Hills, but with her success comes a lot of work and she leaves right when Phoebe arrives. I liked the way Phoebe stumbled across handsome neighbor Ren, how funny Suzanne's personal trainer Bel was and the "Holiday" like vibes of an aging film star living down the street.

The characters in this story made this an enjoyable read for me. The main character is Phoebe and I liked the personal growth journey she went on even if there was a few head scratching moments here and there. The heart to heart Phoebe and her sister had was much needed and while we didn’t get a lot of interaction with her sister you can tell she’s a good person. Bel is as bubbly and upbeat as they come-maybe a little to over the top at times but a genuine person. Myrna is a hoot and just how you imagine a no nonsense beautifully aged former actress from the heyday of Hollywood to be. Ren is an old soul and I would have liked more interactions between him and Phoebe especially with him being the romantic interest.

Overall, I liked the story enough but I just wanted more from it. It’s very easy to read and the characters are all great but it isn’t a romcom romcom if you are looking for that. It’s more of a chick lit/woman’s fiction with a tiny dash of romance thrown in so if that’s what you are looking for than this is right up your alley.



Thank you publishers and @netgalley for this eARC in exchange for my honest feedback.

Phoebe Chapman arrives in Los Angeles from the UK to spend a wonderful vacation with her older sister, only to find that her workaholic sister has picked her up from the airport to turn around and fly away on a business trip. Of course, she invites Phoebe to come along with her to Seattle, where it will probably be overcast and rainy, much like what Phoebe just left. Or, Phoebe could stay at her sister’s fabulous house with a pool, stocked fridge, just miles from the ocean. With a clear choice, Phoebe settles in and finds herself not spending time alone at all but with her neighbor, Ren; a former ’50’s/’60’s starlet, Myrna Moore; and Bel, her sister’s trainer. In Love Me Do, Lindsey Kelk has written a frequently hilarious and sweet story about a resilient young woman’s attempt to play Cyrano de Bergerac and/or Cupid, which backfires–as these things tend to do, and to get past a very bad relationship.

Oh, this book made me laugh and smile and just feel good, which, I’ve got to tell you are fantastic things when you’re feeling a little blue or, more generally, anytime for that matter.

Phoebe is snarky/funny, warm, and self-deprecating. As the depth of her story unfolds, the reader finds themselves cheering her on. They understand her insecurities and hope that she finds the courage to reach out for what she wants.

I loved the characters of Ren, Myrna, and Bel, who added so much to this story. Especially Myrna who is more than just a spunky old lady but a shrewd, exceedingly well-intentioned manipulator with foresight as well. Bel’s character could have just been the typical dumb-but-sweet beautiful L.A. woman but Kelk provided her with a perceptive streak, making her often unexpectedly wise. And Ren is not the average rom-com hero. He’s a bird-watching, housebuilding, vegan who just happens to look like a movie star.

All in all, this is the perfect vacation read or a read when you need a smile.

Many thanks to HarperCollins and Netgalley for sending me a copy. And my apologies for not giving a more timely review.

A good lighthearted summer romance! Nothing about the story was unpredictable, but it was a fun read.

Lindsey Kelk has never disappointed me before, and Love Me Do was no different! I was rooting for Phoebe and loved watching her move forward after her traumatic relationship and gaining her confidence back and realizing how she deserved to be treated in a relationship. Ren was a dream, and I loved the old Hollywood aspect to the story. Thank you to the publisher, author and NetGalley for the eARC.

This book was amazing! Such a great read! Definitely will have you laughing and smiling, such a good feel book. The characters were amazing!

This was such a feel good, lighthearted, summer read. Right from the beginning I was hooked, and didn’t want to put the book down. This book is filled with it all, humor, love, chemistry, tension, and great characters! This book will have you laughing the whole time. The author does a great job at creating relatable characters and showing growth with them. This was my first book by this author, but it certainly won’t be my last. I highly recommend checking this book out!

I found this one a little slow to start, but the characters were great and the tension/chemistry were very well done. The Cyrano-type story was an interesting setup and not one I've ready many times before. I also liked the angle of a British character experiencing the U.S. for the first time.

Honestly, this book was not it for me. I really wanted to love it, but I just didn’t.

I was very bored, nothing really happened until the end and even then it was just very predictable. I also didn’t love the characters or feel any kind of connection to them. :(

Two stars because It has the potential to be a really cute read, it just needs MORE.

Kelk’s romances are pretty fun and even though they can cover some more serious topics, the overall tone stays light. This book was cute, filled with unlikely friendships, holiday fiascos, and a swoony romance. I didn’t expect it to have a Cyrano-esque plot, but still enjoyed it.

This one was a cute summer love story. Rated as four stars GR, but it fits more like 3.5 instead. Rom Coms are becoming increasingly harder for me to enjoy, but if you love Rom Coms, definitely give this one a shot. The love letters were a fun take with this, neighbors, friendship and love all hit marks with this one.

Wonderful story to read - I recommend that you add to your list. Happy reading!

I received an ARC of this book courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and given freely

I was not sure what to expect from this book but I was not disappointed. This was such a fun and easygoing read that had all the California summer vibes. At the beginning of the story, I was not really invested in the characters but after getting about 50% of the way into the book I was really liking the development of Phoebe. Over all this was a really enjoyable read.

Love Me Do is laugh out loud funny! Phoebe Chapman arrives in LA looking to spend time with her sister while on Holiday. When her sister abruptly leaves on a work trip upon Phoebe’s arrival, Phoebe finds herself playing matchmaker with her sisters trainer, Bel and neighbor, Ren, and becoming friends with an 82 year old former actress.

I absolutely loved the banter in this book. It was perfectly placed and had me giggling throughout. I loved the storyline set in LA and the characters were so lovable. Phoebe was hilarious, you couldn’t help but root for fun loving Bel, and Myrna was EVERYTHING. Ren felt a little mundane to me, nothing to love but didn’t dislike. This book had all the makings for the perfect rom com however, slightly missed the mark for me. I found myself lost in multiple storylines and throughout the middle it fell a little flat, finding myself losing excitement. All though the conclusion felt complete to me, I was hoping for a little bit more. Overall, I enjoyed this book but wanted to love it more.

Review: Very fun and charming quick read! I loved *almost* every second of this story. I enjoyed all the characters and how they interacted and I really connected with Phoebe and found myself having manny things in common with her. I did feel that there was an odd chapter or two in the middle where a few things that didn’t add up and the timeline was confusing and I would’ve loved an epilogue as I felt things wrapped up too quickly at the end.
