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 is a amazing friends to lovers romance.
Ben and Amelia have secretly been in love with each other for years, but every time they tried to declare their love something happened, so Amelia started making plans to move on from this love.
It was when the unthinkable happened: they found a baby on Ben's doorstep and this made room for their love to finally happen while they sought answers to what to do about that situation.
The story of this book is very sweet, and the main couple is very affectionate with each other,just the way I like it.

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
HEA
Epilogue

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

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.

Call Her Mine is Book one in the Harmony Pointe series and I am looking forward to reading more! I really enjoyed this book.

CALL HER MINE by Melissa Foster is another five 🌟 read!!! It's a fun book with some heartbreak and plenty of tender moments. Friendship and family are the background in this contemporary romance, you don't want to miss!

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💖💖💖💖💖
