Ben and Aurelia has been dancing around avoiding their attraction for years. It takes a baby to finally make them see the light. When a baby is left on Ben’s doorstep, the two have no idea what to do. While funny, Melissa shows the serious side of what instant parenthood really is, dirty diapers and decisions that change your world. But will it be enough to bring them together or tear them apart. They both learn it takes a village.
Call Her Mine is the first in Melissa Foster’s new series, Harmony Pointe and one of the best books I have read of hers in a while. If you enjoy a sweet romance with edgy scenes and always a HEA, this book promises a delightful reading.

From the first page to the last, this book will keep you turning pages. It has so much! Ben and Aurelia are so confident, yes so unsure. They’ve been friends forever, they both want more, but their timing is horrible. And life has a way of throwing you curve balls just to liven things up. Author Melissa Foster has expanded her scope with this one. It’s hot, it’s humorous, and some scenes are just too good. I laughed so hard reading chapter 3, cried during chapters 21 and 22, and ended with a happy sigh. This one is a keeper.

Aurelia & Ben are friends that won’t admit their feelings for each other because either wants to lose the friendship if the other doesn’t feel the same. They are so blind! All of their friends & family have tried to tell them but they don’t want to step out of their comfort zone. Then the unexpected happens. They discover an abandoned baby on the doorstep, Aurelia steps up to helping out, & the close proximity leads to the chemistry taking over!
I enjoyed this story. At the beginning, Ben acted like a typical male struggling with becoming a father but once he accepted it, he was all in. I loved that Bea actually brought Ben & Aurelia together. The families were completely supportive. Ben’s parents & Aurelia’s grandmother added so much to the story. They were the voices of reason. I laughed at Piper always wanting to go yell at or let someone have it. She’s so feisty & sure she’s right! If you want don’t mind a hero with faults, some cursing & lots of hot sexy action, you don’t want to miss this book!

A feisty book store owner, a sexy billionaire bachelor and a baby left on the front stoop are the focus of this best-friends to lovers story entitled Call Her Mine by Melissa Foster. . I liked Aurelia, so she was such a sweet girl who really stepped up to help her best friend Ben. Plus she owned a bookstore, she is my type of girl. Ben stepped up to care for a baby he wasn’t sure was his BUT I was annoyed to no end that he didn’t even know who the mom might be, why men can’t ask for a girls last name is beyond me. Just saying. But because of how he stepped right up to be a dad I can forgive him. The question that kept rearing its ugly head was did Aurelian and Ben get together because of the baby or was that just the catalyst to them finally acknowledging their true feelings?
I liked how the story and relationship played out. This story had realistic characters, a sweet love story, an adorable baby and hot sex. And there was one twist that broke my heart.
All in all, I enjoyed this story. No angst, a man trying to change a diaper blow out for the first time (hilarious!!) and a heroine who was beyond amazing (if you own a bookstore I want to be your friend). Call Her Mine releases on August 13, 2019.
I received an ARC from #netgalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

At first I thought this was a rom com because it was so funny. I soon realized that although there are a lot of funny moments in this book, it is so much more. There are plenty of poignant moments and a few very sad and emotional moments. I loved Aurelia and Ben. They are so funny I burst out laughing a lot. The chemistry between them are off the charts. What I loved best is that they love with their whole hearts. I can’t wait to read more in this series! I received an advance review copy from NetGalley for an honest review.

A great best friends to lovers story with plenty of humour.
These two had been friends for years both with feelings for the other but neither of them brave enough to voice it. Then a baby gets left on the H’s doorstep and then what follows is a story of two people learning how to look after a baby, whilst admitting their own feelings to each other. They were great as a little family and so supportive of each other it made you think what took them so long! The secondary characters were all really good and the humour amongst this group of family and friends was highly entertaining.

4 stars!!
This book is unbelievable!! It is so sweet, passionate, caring, and amazing!!!
Ben and Aurelia are best friends. They secretly love each other, however, being too fearful that they would mess up their friendship they do nothing about it. While trying to sort out their own feelings, starting new businesses and now throw a baby that gets left on Ben's door step in the mix, you have the perfect book!!
The book starts off very strong. I could feel their love for each other, their lust and their pain. It is captivating and sweet! At times I thought the timing is all wrong, why now but believe me it all becomes clear and is just perfect!! Can't wait for the next books within this series!!
Thank you netgalley for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Call Her Mine is a fun, sexy, sweet book that has you laughing one minute and reaching for your tissues the next. This is a wonderful friends to lovers story with an added surprise along the way. Ben and Aurelia have been friends for years and are absolutely perfect for each other. Once they admit their feelings, they can't keep their hands off of each other, the chemistry between them is scorching hot. I absolutely loved Ben and Aurelia together and I enjoyed watching Ben taking care of what is his and loved how he made Aurelia feel special and loved. I also enjoyed visiting with all of the Sugar Lake gang. I could not put this book down once I started it. I truly cannot wait for the next book in this series.

Ben and Aurelia have been best friends for years. The only problem with that is that she's been in love with him all that time. To say their timing has always been off in an understatement. Deciding she can't be his friend any more, Aurelia decides it's time to follow her dreams and move from Sugar Lake to Harmony Pointe and open a book store. A fresh start is what she needs to leave Ben and her love for him behind. Ben was blindsided by Aurelia's move, and isn't sure how to get her to stick around, until someone drops a baby on his door step. Now he needs her more than ever.
This book had me hooked in the first couple of chapters, unrequited and friends to lovers are two of my favorite tropes. Call Her Mine is listed as being the first of the Harmony Pointe series, however, I felt a little lost having not read the Sugar Lake Series first since that's when Ben and Aurelia are introduced. It feels like I missed some of the angst and heartbreak not seeing them interact in those four books. I almost couldn't relate to everyone's feelings of "finally!". That being said, I'm sure that if I would have done some research I could have figured that out, read the Sugar Lake series and been more prepared. Definitely read those first. BUT, I did really enjoy this story even not having all the background info. The dynamic of Ben and Aurelia, how they couldn't be more opposite and their terrible timing, they're adorable. I was gut punched at 95%, I'm sure I should have seen the twist coming, but oh my gosh, all the feels, complete heart break. And that Epilogue was perfection. I loved that even though Aurelia wasn't Bea's biological mom she loved her just the same. It doesn't matter who makes you or who births you, it's who loves you and cares for you that really count in life.

Melissa Foster just wrung my heart out with Call Her Mine😍😍😍. I laughed, cried, laughed some more, felt my heart expand it was so full from this couple and the love they had for each other and how they always came to the right answer for something so very hard to do had me bawling like a baby...in case you can't tell....I LOVE THIS BOOK💖💖💖💖💖

This is the 1st book in the Harmony Pointe series (and sort of the 4th in the Sugar Lake series). This is a stand alone book and is Ben and Aurelia’s book. It is a very sweet, fun and great best friends to lovers with a baby thrown in (with some hotness added in too), although this isn’t the typical baby story. I loved Ben and Aurelia! You saw there was something between them in the previous books, but was so much more. I loved that they didn’t spend the whole book resisting each other and much of the book was focused on them building their already strong relationship. You also got a good dose of all of his sisters that you have met in the previous books. As I said, it is a stand alone and you do not need to read the Sugar Lake books, but it is so much better if you have so you can totally enjoy the banter in the Dalton family. I definitely recommend this book and look forward to the rest of the Harmony Pointe books!

I've read many books by Melissa Foster and have enjoyed them. They are fun, quick easy reads. This one fell right in line with her past books. Fun, fast (I read it in just a couple of hours), and not too deep (just the type of book I like to read after reading several dark thrillers) with characters you are quick to like and root for. Looking forward to reading more of this new series.
3.5 out of 5
Thank you #netgalley and #montlakeromance for the eARC.

Call her Mine by Melissa Foster a five-star read you will want to call yours. This was my first read by this author, but it felt like I was reading a story about old friends and knew the secondary group so well, you could get the inside jokes. Ben and Aurelia are a match made in heaven, but just because they are a perfect match doesn’t mean they have ever realised it. Just like being an adult doesn’t make you a grown up. They have both done stupid things and when one of those stupid things comes back to bite Ben on the behind, its Aurelia that he turns to, just as she is meant to be moving on and starting a fresh. But Aurelia would do anything for Ben, and she gets her reward in an unexpected package in Baby B. The thing with this story isn’t that its just Ben and Aurelia and Baby B, its everyone else that is thrown into the package they make the story so much deeper and more interesting that you can imagine, it’s a cute and sweet romance but its also so much more.

Special thanks to Melissa Foster, Lisa Filipe, Netgalley and Montlake Romance for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
Call Her Mine by Melissa Foster is such a sweet and gushingly romantic story. Aurelia and Ben are childhood best friends who both have unrequited feelings towards each other. Friends to lovers is one of my favorite romance troupes in the world! When a baby is left of Ben's doorstep, the two are forced to confront their feelings for each other once and for all.
There are just so many things (for lack of a better word) that I love about Call Her Mine. Here are favorites:
Ben with his Clark Kent hotness is definite book boyfriend material....but ladies and gentlemen, Ben only has eyes for Aurelia which makes him EVEN more swoon-worthy. He simply adores her. He is crazy romantic with his words and his small and grand gestures. He not only makes you swoon but also melts your heart.
The drama Ben and Aurelia face is of a different kind and I am ALL ABOUT IT. Their drama revolves around caring for an abandoned baby which calls for all types of scenes: funny, sad, dramatic, romantic, etc, etc, etc. As a mother, the scenes were all so realistic. I also like the reasoning behind baby being left. It's both heartbreaking and oddly fulfilling.
The scene where Ben finally confesses his feelings for Aurelia was ON POINT. It has all the feels that romance readers will love. In fact, I reread it a couple of times....and then some more. It is one of the best scenes in the entire book.
Recommendation: A must read for romance readers. Call Her Mine will make your heart smile. I gushed so hard that I hope my review reflects that. This is a must read for romance readers.

This combines a friends to lovers plot with a secret baby. In this case, the secret baby was a secret to Ben, just showing up on his doorstep. He needs the help of his best friend, Aurelia, to help him figure out how to take care of his unexpected daughter. Aurelia and Ben have secretly been in love with each others for ages but been too afraid to tell each other.
The romance gets resolved about halfway through the book and then the novel becomes mostly a description of their challenges taking care of a baby, something neither of them have had any experience doing. The plot just seems to lose focus after the romance is resolved.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader copy of this book that I received from Netgalley; however, the opinions are my own and I did not receive any compensation for my review.

I have read almost all of Melissa Foster's books and really enjoy all of them. However, one or two can sometimes feel flat and this is one of them. Ben and Aurelia are friends who become lovers and this can be done well. Here, again, it just didn't do it. I had a hard time with Ben and his reaction to a baby found on his doorstep. His attitude was all "it's not mine...etc.". Although Ben comes to love the baby very quickly the whole plot just seemed a bit off to me. This was not one of the author's best.
I was given a free ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest reveiw..

This was a cute, well written friends to lovers romance, with a baby thrown in to the mix. This is part of a series I have not read, but I had no trouble following along. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC!

While I am genuinely really compelled by ostensibly one-sided pining for a friend, this opening fell pretty flat for me—which was followed by something which made me stop reading. Surprise-baby-on-the-doorstep can be done well, though it’s not usually my favorite, but this just really missed it for me. Ben’s reaction to the baby is to swear a bunch and get mad about a “crazy bitch” who probably left it there. In the surprise baby scenario, it’s great when a hero is surprisingly good with the baby, but it’s not necessary. I do genuinely need the hero to be at all concerned with the baby’s wellbeing—which was far from Ben’s first reaction, despite a literal infant being left on his porch. I just couldn’t get behind the relationship after that point, because I couldn’t root for Ben.

This book is a spin off of the Sugar Lake Series that centers around Ben Dalton and Aurelia Stark. Ben and Aurelia have been best friends forever and both have crushed on each other for years, but have been afraid to act on their attraction. Aurelia has decided that she needs a new start away from Ben by moving to and opening a bookstore in Harmony Pointe. Aurelia is kicking herself for running back to spend time with Ben, as she is leaving his house, she sees a basket. There is a baby in the basket with a note that says the baby is Ben’s. While dealing with a new baby, they eventually reveal that their feelings to each other. Starting a new relationship and becoming insta-parents is pretty chaotic, but that is what is enjoyable about this book. Ben and Aurelia are really nice characters who have been circling around each other throughout the Sugar Lake series and it is nice to see them get their happily ever after. This is a cute book with minimal conflict. I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley for my honest review.

2 stars
I love Melissa Foster, but this book seemed all too familiar to me. I felt have read another version of it recently. Unexpected baby left on someone's door step. Just didn't work for me. I usually love Melissa Foster's books. This was one that I didn't.
