Oh so swoony and sugary sweet! This is my second Louise Bay book and I am just in love. Truly is the shy twin, the twin that was satisfied with working in the background but when she met Noah during her sister's wedding she allowed herself to feel beautiful. Although, Noah was used to getting the ladies so when Truly friend-zoned him, he accepted that they would be just friends. This was a slow burn that felt so good. There were some characteristics of both Noah and Truly that I wished they didn't have but in the end they really touch my heart. I did want more from Noah's backstory but what was provided it really did touch my heart. Being that this was an Audible Original it hasn't been released in print or ebook format and the narrators for both Truly and Noah were FANTASTIC!!!

This specific video review will be included in the February 2019 wrap-up.

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.

Sehr unaufgeregt und leicht.
Das gewisse Etwas hat trotzdem gefehlt.

I absolutely devoured this book!! I adored how quirky Truly was and that she was smart and brilliant and gradually came out of her shell. And Noah! Swoon! He had the best heart and I loved his relationship with Truly, but also with Rob. I loved the story Louise created and is such a wonderful story to read! Would recommend to everyone!
