Like You Love Me (Honey Creek Book 1) by Adriana Locke

This is an honest review for an arc received.

“Um, the last time I married you, we were seven, and you took the Ring Pop off my left hand and ate it right after the ceremony.”

Sophie Bates is the owner of Honey House, a quaint bed-and breakfast. Although her life lately hasn’t been easy, she still powers on. When she runs into Holden Mckenzie again for the first time in years, she realizes there is chemistry there. While she struggles with bad decisions made in her past, she loves how easy things seem to be with Holden. But what happens when Holden offers to be her Knight in Shining Armor?

“Instead of taking my golden retriever life and mixing it with her poodle life and getting a goldendoodle, we’d turned into a mutt.”

Holden McKenzie thought his life was fine. In line for the job of his dreams, everything came to a hault after Bang Gate. He finds himself back in the small-town he spent his summers helping at his grandfather’s Veterinarian Clinic. Now with everything in his life hanging in the balance he’s trying to figure out his next move. When an opportunity presents itself, he makes Sophie an offer that she can’t refuse. But what happens when feelings become real and you’re no longer faking it?

“Go where your soul feels warm . . . You’ll know what choices you need to make in life if you follow the sun.”

This book was 5 wonderful stars. Adriana Locke knocked this book out of the park. If you’re looking for small-town romance, a sassy leading lady, swoon-worthy leading man and hiliarious banter this book is for you. Loved everything about this book!
