I'm not sure how this is the first Lindsey Kelk book I've read, but I'm excited to read more in the future! This was fun, sweet, emotional, and well-written. I had a great time living in this world and it makes such a wonderful beach read.

Unfortunately I just couldn’t get into this story. I wanted to see where the romance went but all the other stuff wasn’t enough to keep me interested in the main character.

Love Me Do is the sweetest summer vibe book that you need to pick up! This romance is not just a fun, fluffy tune but it also has depth and i really enjoyed that about this book. The cover is absolutely stunning and I’m really excited to read more from this author! Highly recommend!

Phoebe flys from the UK to LA to visit her sister Suzanne for two weeks. When she arrives, Suzanne says she has to leave that night to Seattle for work. Phoebe decides to stays at her nice house in LA anyway. She soon meets the gorgeous neighbor, Ren. They immediately hit it off. The next day Phoebe meets Suzanne’s personal trainer, Bel. They become fast friends and when Phoebe learns that Bel has the hots for Ren she decides to set them up. In the process of setting them up Phoebe notices she has feelings for Ren but she pushes them aside since she is just visiting.
I loved this story so much. The connection between Phoebe and Ren was so strong and the emotions that were felt with the whole quasi “love triangle” were so palpable and I was screaming internally the whole time Phoebe kept pushing for Ren and Bel to work out. The addition of the character, Myrna, was perfect for the story and it gave this old Hollywood glamour element that I loved (also created some ‘The Holiday’ vibes which I am always down for!) I was really worried that this one wasn’t going to have a happily ever after, but of course this romance didn’t let me down. It just really waited until the last moment. I would definitely recommend this sweet romance.

Thank you to HarperCollins and to Netgalley for an advanced copy of this book in exchange for a review. This was a romance with a cute premise but unfortunately fell a little bit flat for me. Phoebe Chapman is a British greeting card writer on holiday in Los Angeles to visit her sister. But when her sister has to leave town for work suddenly she is wrapped up in helping set up her sister's friend with the cute boy next door.

I did enjoy parts of this book but ultimately I think it couldn't decide exactly what it wanted to be. It had elements of a love triangle, a vacation romance, and even kind of fake dating. However, I found myself more interested in the side plots (helping out an old Hollywood actress and her relationship with her sister) and in the beautiful LA setting than I was in the actual romance aspect. It was a cute story and I found the writing actually pretty funny at times but it was not my favorite romance.

This was such a feel-good book. Overcoming devastating life events and rebuilding confidence with new friends and family who truly are on Phoebe's side was refreshing and shows the power of surrounding yourself with people who truly want the best for you. The characters were all fun in their own way and the mash of the different personalities worked so well. A delightful read for my spring break!

Perfect Rom-com and love letter to LA. Hilariously slow romance that just put a huge smile to your face constantly. I did struggle at times with how slow it could get and then the ending...felt like something was missing. But over all enjoyed the read.

This book gave me alllll the fanny flutters and I got sucked into the love story from the first page. Brit is a perfectly imperfect FMC that I felt myself really feeling connected to, and even though I didn’t agree with every decision she made, I could 100% put myself in her place which had me feeling even more invested in the story!

Would definitely recommend!

A huge thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for gifting me a copy of this ARC!

Nothing like a Brit across the pond finding love to put me back in the summertime mood! This book is great for Emily Henry fans. I thought the characters were so funny and likable, and there was plenty of good old fashioned banter to keep this reader interested. It was a cute story that wasn't heavy at any point and was a great palate cleanser for me following some non-fiction reads. I'll be waiting for more Kelk titles!!

Lindsey Kelk is an auto-read author for me because I know her books will always leave me laughing. Love Me Do kept my attention as Phoebe got up to everything exploring her sisters mansion and LA. I found the storyline to be a bit whimsical and far fetched however; that's the kind of book i want to read to escape from it all!

I had to gently DNF this book.

I struggled to connect with the characters and didn’t love their relationship. The writing was good, and I think there are a lot of people who will enjoy this!

A nice, adorable beach read. Very rom com and funny. I look forward to reading others by Kelk. Thanks for the review copy.

This was well-written and fun, but it wasn’t hitting like a romance book should for me. The romance felt like it was rushed and not built-up enough like it was an afterthought. I want my main couple to be happy together more than the last 5% of the book. Again, this wasn’t a bad book by any means, it just wasn’t anything special.
