Noah is such a heartthrob!!!

This books had been such a sweet and endearing read, straight forward in many ways- no excessive frills and overload of characters that didn’t contribute to the story,
Truly is such a geeky introvert and so sweet natured, and damn if Noah isn’t the heartthrob to make any woman swoon.
I love how their friendship blossomed and how Noah found that challenge that he realised he didn’t have to conquer.
I really enjoyed this story, and Noah wasn’t quite the player I expected him to be.
This book was a combination of sweet, sexy, fun and good feels.

Highly recommend this book by Louise Bay.

I’ve read a few books by this author and I’ve always enjoyed them but this one was completely different for me.
Starting off I really enjoyed the story, it was easy to enjoy and got my interest going. But that soon changed, it became predictable and lost the excitement I was expecting.
I didn’t feel any depth to the characters and I couldn’t feel the chemistry that they are supposed to have.
Noah wasn’t what I was expecting at all. From the title and the blurb you would expect him to have billions in the bank and be flying all over the world spending money and a women hanging off him. But that wasn’t the case, he didn’t show off his wealth (which was a nice change) he wasn’t arrogant and wasn’t a player really.
I liked Truly’a character, she was this geeky nerd we could all relate to. And I enjoyed her relationship with her sister Abigail.
I did find the storyline predictable at times which was disappointing.
I will definitely read more books by this author!

Absolutely loved the audio of this gem. You can’t go wrong with Shane East. Their romance was so amazing.

Louise Bay always delivers the perfect blend of romance in her stories. Passion, lust, family loyalty, and plenty of steam! International Player is a wonderful story with a charismatic male lead character and a loveable quirky heroine. This book is a heartwarming page-turner.

Noah and Truly’s relationship is certainly a roller coaster of emotions with many ups and downs throughout their story. I adored Noah and Truly together and I was rooting for them the whole time hoping for their HEA. Louise definitely knows how to give the reader every feel.

Louise Bay knocks it out off the park again with this book. This is a stunning friends to lover’s romance and has a slow burn feel, which I could always appreciate. The way in which Louise writes just evokes so much imagery for me. I can picture everything; the setting and what the characters are doing. This is one of the many reasons why I love to read Louise Bay’s books. She always paints a vivid picture, and she creates such beautiful and heartfelt relationships. I cannot wait to see what comes next.

2.5 stars. A decent book, I liked the characters well enough and thought they had chemistry. It is unfortunately another book that falls into the 'all problems could have been easily overcome by having a conversation.' It irritated me a bit throughout the entirety of the story but definitely got worse towards the end. I can say that at least it was all settled pretty quick, and not overly drawn out once they had their fight which I liked.

All in all not the worst I have read by far, but it also really didn't stand out to me (good or bad). It was fine, but by next month I'll probably have forgotten all about it.

Not my favorite Louise Bay. The characters were difficult to like, and the story was just ok.

I like her books though, so of course this one one sway me from reading more!
