The love that Suvi and Blaze had was planted at an early age. The best relationships start out as friends. I love the way that their families wanted them to end up together. The spicy scenes gave exactly what was needed. Blaze was book bae. Narration was good for the book.

3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ .5 stars! Thank you to NetGalley for the ALC. The narrators were great! Suvi has had a lot of unsuccessful relationships and now she wants some help to find her happily ever after. She decides to go to Arranged Hearts hoping for a positive outcome.

Suvi’s best friend, Blaze took one for the team and decided to also go to Arranged Hearts to support his best friend and also because he figured that he would try to find the love of his life.

Little did they know that they would be paired with each other by Arranged Hearts to be each other’s spouse. I enjoyed their love story. They had a couple of bumps along the way, as far as women that Blaze had dealt with in the past, and Suvi’s ex, because nothing is perfect, but in the end they choose each other and have a beautiful future.

Love how this one had a cute little twist.

Each book in this series is making me fall in love more and more with each one that I read. This one was so beautiful To know that Suvi and Blaze are best friends and them going through Arranged Hearts and ending up together was so beautifull. It’s a dream to be able to love and marry your best friend and this is the story that shows you what that life could be like. This couple had issues with people over stepping their place but really if was seeing these two prior best friends only, now step into a romantic level to them already amazing bond. Love this book so much. I was rooting for them all the way.

I thoroughly enjoyed Embrace and loved the friends-to-lovers trope. Blaze, the male lead, is such a good man, and the way the story set up the arranged marriage was perfect—you could tell who was meant to meet her at the aisle from the start. The honeymoon scenes were steamy, and I loved that the book was set in Houston, TX. This is my second read in the Arranged Hearts series, and it’s a great follow-up. I appreciated how seamlessly they transitioned into married life after being best friends for so long.

However, around the halfway point, I wondered where the story would go, as they seemed to have an ideal life post-marriage and honeymoon. Unlike Desire, there wasn’t much conflict or a significant plot twist. That being said, I still enjoyed the book and Blaze as a character, and the narration was excellent throughout. If you’re a low-angst romance fan, this is a great read!

Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING!!!

I was completely locked into the friends-to-lovers trope. It was not cheesy in any way, the storyline was solid on Blaze and Suvi. Because they started as best friends there were none of the getting-to-know-you moments you normally find in these types of stories. The conflicts with the exes and the fear of ruining a friendship made this story relatable.

I received an audio copy of this book and the narrators did not disappoint! I devoured this book in one day! Did I mention the spice? Cause it's in there.

Not a fan of friends to lovers

But I love the arranged marriage story line.

The voice actors definitely embodied the Texan accent perfectly 10/10 cause they sound like every I’ve come across since living in Houston 🤣

This was my least favorite of the Arranged Hearts series. There wasn't much storyline and there was so much potential for a great friends to lovers story. Once Suvi and Blaze meet at the altar it's just about sex. I'm in no way a prude but I don't want a story that's filled with nothing but sex. It felt like the author didn't know what to do with the characters once they said I do.

The narrators didn't help any. They didn't fit with the writing style. It's obvious urban dialect doesn't come natural for them. I cringed every time the tried to sound hood. It was awful.

Thank you NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for the audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook of *Embrace: Arranged Hearts Series*. The narrators brought the story to life with their incredible performances. Although the plot was somewhat predictable, the romance and witty banter between Blaze and Suvi kept me engaged throughout. This well-written friends-to-lovers romance hit all the right notes, with the perfect amount of spice and spot-on character development.

Thank you to NetGalley and Dreamscape Media for providing this audiobook in exchange for my honest review.

Married At First Sight show x Friends to lovers trope???

Count me in!

I definitely need more stories like this.

Overall the story was very entertaining! Suvi and Blaze were definitely meant to be. Some parts for me were a bit cringy, but it straightened it self out after a bit!

I would love a continuation of their story growing their family, and their relationship.

This series has been addictive for me. I enjoyed how every author broke down how each and every couple grew into love. It made my heart smile.

Adorable simple love of friends to lovers thanks to a marriage of convenience from the Arranged Hearts marriage company fixing them up I adore this series

Love how this one had a cute little twist I don’t want to say and spoil it but loved the troupe 5stars

Blaze + Suvi had such a unique story and I loved the audiobook. Loved that they already knew each other on a friendship level and they got paired for married through Arranged Hearts.

I will say that I didn’t love how predictable the beginning was. I knew they’d end up together so I wish there was more mystery around the match but I still enjoyed this story!

Who doesn't enjoy a good best friend to lover romance? I mean, I do; and thos author Mya did a good job bringing that trope to life. I know some people wouldn't want to marry their best friend since you would know ALL his dirty little secrets.

The narrators did a good job, and I enjoyed listening to them.

Suvi Summers never had luck in the love department.Blaze Snow was a ladies’ man through and through. He’d never had any trouble finding a woman, but keeping her was a different story. Neither of them expects to gain much from the service, but when they meet at the altar a few weeks later, they are forced to come to terms with feelings neither of them was prepared to reveal.

My only problem is, the cover art! Suvi is described as a BBW | curvy female. I don't get that from the cover art. I would have loved to see a BBW on the cover art.
