Call Her Mine is the first book in Melissa Foster's new Harmony Pointe series. It's not a break from her previous books - most of the characters are familiar frineds but even if you haven't read her other books you won't be confused.
This is a friends to lovers story with a twist. Ben and Aurelia have had a great friendship forever but nothing else. Aurelia is ready for a change and moves to Harmony Pointe for a fresh start. She's tired of waiting for something to happen and then it does.
After another night of watching movies and "sleeping" together with nothing but sleep going on they open the door to find a basket on Ben's doorstep. When they open the basket there's a baby girl inside and a note saying she was Ben's - oops.
Rather that tear Aurelai and BEn apart, it seems to draw them together as they both fall in love with this tiny little girl. They join together to figure out what the next steps are and if Ben is the father will he be raising this little bundle of joy alone.
At the last minute, they finally uncover the mystery of the baby's mother and how she will fit into their newly formed family.
Melissa Foster does an amazing job with writing strong, smart characters and keeps the story interesting and fun.
I received an advanced copy of this book.

This was a beautiful surprise baby, friends to lovers book. Aurelia is moving on with her life even though she's still in love with her best friend Ben. Until one morning a baby appears! Through managing how to take care of new baby, and navigate the hows, why's and who's Ben finally confesses his love for Aurelia. There's a lot going on, but these two move through this whirlwind with such grace, it makes the book such a joy to read.

I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Ben and Aurelia are best friends who have feelings for each other. Neither has ever told the other about their feelings and something always comes between them. However, when they find a baby on Ben's doorstep - with a note that says that Ben is the dad! - they are faced with a challenge neither could have expected.
I love the secret baby thrope. There is something fun about the pressure people are put under when there is a baby involved and not every author can handle it realistically. I think Foster had handled it quite well, they had struggles and didn't really know how to deal with the baby because neither had any experience. Luckily they had a support system who helped them and gave advice. The situation with the babys mom was surprising and not the usual villain/careless woman trope authors irritatingly tend to use.
The relationship between the h and H was very convenient and there was not much conflict - some might like it but some may want some more struggles as it would have been more realistic.

Overall, I think people who enjoy light contemporary romance will enjoy this one too.



I recieved a copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Call Her Mine by Melissa Foster is a thoroughly charming romance that has the perfect amount of heat between Ben and Aurelia to keep the pages turning at a rapid pace...I couldn’t put the book down once I started reading this couple’s story. I look forward to what is in store next for this cast of characters.

This ARC book was complimentary, provided by the Publisher and NetGalley. I am voluntarily providing my honest review.

Call Her Mine is an entertaining, easy read. It’s a heartwarming friends to lovers story, as well as the surprise baby troupe (not my favorite theme, but I do like a good friends to lovers story and this fit that nicely). As usual with Melissa Foster, this book had plenty of emotion, laughter, tears, and, of course, love. I look forward to return visits to Harmony Pointe.

I’ve read numerous Melissa Foster books now and I love her writing style. It’s light and fun and a very easy fast read.

I had read all the others in her various series so knew the characters and a rough background but I enjoyed the boy is in love with girl and girl is in love with girl but everyone but them knows it.

Lovely read would recommend to anyone.

Ben and Aurelia have been best friends forever but they have no idea that they both want more. Afraid to mess up their friendship they keep their romantic feelings to themselves. Everything changes when a baby is left on Ben's doorstep. Cute friends to lovers -- and parents romance.

I like Ms. Foster's stories, but everything seems to just happen. Other than the push-pull at the beginning of the book, there was very little conflict.

However, I enjoyed the story.

I've read a few of this author's books and I've enjoyed the books that I've read from her, so I was looking forward to reading more from her! I know that she has lots of other books released, but I received an email from the publisher about this book and the synopsis sounded intriguing, so I decided to give it a read! After reading this book, I can say that it took me a few chapters to get into, but I found myself enjoying it more as it developed! The plot did develop at a nice pace and there was a lot of romance in it, which allowed for quite a few seriously hot scenes! I also loved the addition of the characters learning how to be parents because there were some funny scenes and some sad scenes! I also wasn't expecting to cry at the plot, but I did near the end because there were some very emotional scenes! The ending of this book also wasn't fully wrapped up, but I hope the characters story will continue in the next book! The characters were great and made this book better! Aurelia was the main female character, and in this book she had a new business and was looking forward to seeing how it would go! I liked Aurelia a lot in this book! She was there to support her love interest and help him with his new baby, even though she didn't necessarily have to! I loved the way that Aurelia was with her love interest too! She had always had feelings for him, but had never acted on them! Ben was the main male character and love interest of Aurelia! Ben got quite a shock in this book when a baby was left at his front door lol! Ben didn't have any experience with kids, so it was funny watching him learn how to be a father and balance a child with his demanding job! I felt like Ben took on the role of a father very well and he would do anything to protect his daughter! It was also easy to see how he felt about Aurelia and they worked well together! I loved that this book was written from both Aurelia and Ben's point of views! I wasn't sure if it was going to be before I started reading, but I'm really happy that it was! It allowed for more things to happen in the plot, especially as both characters didn't spend every second of the plot together and were dealing with their own situations! It helped me connect more with Aurelia and Ben too and see how they really felt for each other! This book was also written in third person, which I normally don't like, but I liked this book being written this way! I now can't wait to read the next book in this series! I'm excited about who the main characters are going to be and the synopsis has me very intrigued to read it, so I can't wait for it to release I know that the next book releases at the beginning of December, which isn't that long of a wait! I'll definitely be grabbing a copy of it once it releases and I look forward to giving it a read! The cover for this book is also absolutely perfect for it and would draw me to the book! ! I love it a lot and it definitely suits the feel of the book! The cover model is also the perfect Ben too!

Welcome back to the Dalton family. I enjoyed yet another sweet tale from the family witj a heart of gold. I laugh, I cried, I could have died...of laughter and joy at the closing scene. Foster fans will cheer!

I probably can't adequately put into words how much I loved this book. I loved Ben and Aurelia - friends for years and the way the romance evolved was so well done. What I love most about this book is the way they figure out how to care for Baby B together and work together to take care of the baby and take care of themselves and their newfound romance. No silly misunderstandings, just real talk. Loved how their families interact and added warmth and humor as well.

The ending is poignant and I cried. I fully admit the book made me cry. I can't imagine any parent reading this and not getting a little emotional at the end.

I highly recommend this book - Foster does such a tremendous job of making her readers vested in her characters. I can't wait for more from this series.

Many thanks to the publisher for a review copy via NetGalley.

Grab the tissues!!! This book was amazing!!! I loved Ben and Aurelia's friendship and how it blossomed into a relationship. You will not be disappointed!

Call Her Mine was such a fast and easy read! Loved the relationship between Aurelia and Ben. This story was such a breath of fresh air. It was so sweet and romantic! I also liked all of Ben's sisters. This was my first Melissa Foster book. I will definitely be starting on her backlist and will continue to read her new releases. I will post a full review on my blog and also Instagram.

Melissa Foster has another hit with Call Her Mine. I am usually not a fan of the surprise baby trope, but this was written skillfully and with a lot more heat than I expected from a book revolving around a baby found in the doorstep.

Ben and Aurelia, and their extended families, have been friends for years. They had always been attracted to each other but each of them felt that they were in the permanent "friend zone" so they never acted on it. Until a baby arrives on Ben's doorstep.

This is a story of friends who become so much more and grow from the experience. I loved Aurelia's grandmother who seemed like such a three-point but who is also wise and wonderful.

I recommend this book to readers who are already Melissa Foster fans and to those who are just reading her for the first time.

I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

A friend to lovers book that I absolutely adored and read in a day. I loved that the story didn’t take long to jump the characters into romance. The story rolled smoothly and allowed me to really feel connected to both characters. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is that I felt the drama and ending was a little rushed. I would of loved to see the story with a little more drama towards the end, but overall it was charming. A great way to start the new series.

I really enjoyed Call Her Mine. I will say that from the synopsis, I was worried that it was going to be like so many other books in this genre/troupe. But it was surprisingly completely different!

I liked how the story and relationship played out. This story had realistic characters, a sweet love story, an adorable baby and hot sex. Not to mention that the main character is a book store owner... hello dream job!!

I can't wait to read more in this series and from this author.

I read this in one sitting, I loved it, i’m not new to Melissa’s stories, one thing you can guarantee from her is the swoon effect...

and Ben & Aurelia definitely made me swoon, I loved how clueless they were of one another’s feelings towards one another. I loved everything, it made me laugh, it made me swoon, it made me awww, and it made me cry.

Once again Melissa has created another epic read, one that I highly recommend being read!!

This was a great quick read that was another good start to a new series. Ben and Aurelia's story was a quick friends to lovers story that had been in the making for a while. The pair had chemistry especially when an unexpected baby got thrown into the mix. I did feel that the arrival of the baby was a bit cliche but in the end, it worked for their story. Their story moved along quickly and I enjoyed the return of the characters from the Sugar Lake series as it was a good way to catch up with those characters. I Ben and Rel's story from the start and would recommend this quick read and start to this new series to others.

Melissa Foster is the queen of family and interconnected romances. She builds worlds that are incredibly connected and woven together seamlessly. This book is no exception. This book is a secret baby and friends to lovers romance - but flips both tropes on their heads. I was shocked that the central couple in question resolved their relationship within the first 1/3 of the book - and left the rest of the book to focus on baby and adjusting to their new relationship (with baby).

Also - who can resist a hero like Ben? Sweet, rich, not toxically masculine, and fully into his new fatherhood. Aurelia is a smart business woman and free spirit. Their relationship has been building for a long time and it shows in the way they fit together without a lot of drama or angst.

I picked this book up mid-series and although it is billed as stand-alone (and it is) - I think it would help to read some of the other books first so you would have a full picture of the family and parties involved. I had only read one other story, and I felt a bit lost on relationships and personalities at times.

Cute

What I liked:
The writing style
The characters
Friends to lovers
Part of a series: Harmony Pointe
Standalone

Epilogue

I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
