Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I love second chance books and this is a good one. It's not the usual love lost, love found kind of second chance. It's a second chance at loving one's self and loving another after finally facing a past that held you back. The story of loving your siblings friend is common, but this one has a twist, a heartbreaking twist. Meg and Ben have an adorable romance, a little more snarky than smutty. I really enjoyed that the characters went on normal dates, had family drama, and continued going on with their lives in normal ways. It wasn't just about the relationship between two people, but the relationship with those in the community as well. The secondary characters brought a lot more to the story than you'd expect and I find myself wanting to check in with them and what they are doing.

Unfortunately, I never got a real picture in my head of what Ben or Meg really looked like. There's a mention of height and a beard, but I got pretty confused when Meg described herself as figure-less and on the next chapter Ben described her as petite and curvy. I never developed a real connection to either of them, because I just couldn't see them. On the other hand, I can see Sam and Lukas clear as day. The last chapter wrapped up everything very quickly and I could have easily read a few more chapters on their romance blossoming finally.

I think this is the kind of book that makes for a great relaxing read and can be enjoyed by those who like series and standalone novels.

This Love of Mine was an endearing story about attractive characters. Miranda Liasson's creation is about not taking anything in life for granted. Especially relationships. The people counted on the most may not always be there. This Love of Mine conveyed that point by examining the love story of Ben and Meg. With likable characters and plenty of feeling Ms. Liasson composed a sweet story of neglect, frustration, heartbreak and love. I received an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. Very well put together read. ( )

When I won this in a Goodreads Giveaway I thought about reading the first of the series before reading it. I'm glad I didn't. This was all sugar frosting with very little to sink my teeth into. I'm fine with suspending reality for a good HEA romance the same as with any fantasy but the characters themselves need to have some substance to make it work.

I received this book for free through Goodreads Giveaways. ( )

Loved it!! This is a fun small town romance with excellent writing, great pace, and characters that warm your heart. It's the second in a series but easily read standalone. I do recommend you read the first though - great book.

Ben Rushford has worked hard his whole life. He's attained his goal of becoming a doctor, now he's ready to come home and work in the local ER. He finds himself in a competition for the job, the only thing he's lacking is a committed relationship. When he comes up with a plan to have a pretend girlfriend, he knows exactly who he wants to ask. Convincing her to go along with him might be a challenge. Not actually falling for her might be harder than that!!

Meg Halloran has had a crush on Ben Rushford her whole life. Now that she's ready to really put that behind her, he's back in town looking better than ever. When he approaches her to go along with his plan, she knows she should say no. She really does. Unfortunately, her stupid heart tells her to play along. Nothing can really go wrong, right???

This is one I highly recommend! ( )
