Call You Mine is book four of the Aldridge brothers series. This is Beacon’s book, he is a world-famous rockstar and his band mates had to put a hold on their tour plans to fulfil Beacon’s father’s will. He and his brothers must stay in Baker's Creek for 18 months.
Grace and Beacon are friends. They have been best friends since they were kids. Grace is also a famous musician and they secretly work together at Grace's family business.
Beacon has been in love with Grace all of his life but he's been unable to act on his feeling for her but now, Grace needs dating advice and who better to help her but her best friend Beacon.
This is a slow burn, friends to lovers book and although is not necessary I would recommend reading the previous books to understand better the story.

This book was not what I was expecting. To not spoil it I will only say that there is way more to Beacon than meets the eyes.
First I will start off by admitting that I kind of wasn't a fan of Beacon at the start of this book. I loved him in the first 3 books and I did eventually warm up to him more. But his arrogance and the way he kept looking down at his brothers bothered me. I know he didn’t have the kind of relationship that he would have liked growing up with them. But throughout the past 3 books I know that they are all trying. It just seemed to me like Beacon didn’t want to try and that bothered me. It also bothered me that he kept acting like he was the better brother I.E. being there for both Carter and Mills. However he never truly asked why the others weren't there. He just was pissed and didn't care for their reasons. Be warned though, Beacon will surpise you. Its not a bad surprise but its not expected either.
I liked Grace, however out of all the "wives" she wasn't my favorite. She had her struggles but she also was jaded along with Beacon. Her family dynamic growing up was so different than the Aldridge's. I struggled with liking her and loving her. She was over confident but also not sure of herself fully. I also felt bad for her when it came to her father. No 28 year old woman wants to be treated like a child in a bubble.
This series just keeps me excited. Each book brings out new and interesting revelations. The things we learned in this one make so much sense. I'm glad that these brothers are getting this chance to bond and find their happily ever after. Gahhh... I want the last two books but at the same time I don't want this series to end!!
*I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.*

I absolutely love these brothers! Book four gives is Beacon's turn, and he and Grace are what the friends to lovers trope is all about. Of course, this series gives us the added bonus of visiting the rest of the family while we thoroughly enjoy all the feels of the current romance, and that's half the fun for me. These brothers and their significant others are witty and snarky and everything I love about Claudia Burgoa's books. Rather than enter into spoiler territory, I'll just say that Beacon and Grace keep the pages turning, and they're one more great couple in a series of great couples. The story is just the right amount of angsty mixed with sexy romance, and the whole thing is engaging and fun. The books are all interconnected, but the author gives us everything we need to read them as standalones - that's not to say you won't absolutely have to check out the rest once you've met the family.

This is book 4 in the Bakers creek billionaire brother series, this is Beacon and Grace's book.
Beacon is or was a rock star till he had to spend 18 months in Bakers creek and Grace was a cellist, but the also worked undercover for The Organisation which was run by Grace's dad.
They had both always loved each other but wouldn't admit it, just said they were best friends, but when Beacon offered to teach Grace how to date and flirt he had other ideas in his mind, she was HIS.
another great book in this series, I can't wait to read the next one.

"Call You Mine" by Claudia Burgoa featured a well-crafted friends-to-lovers romance between the youngest Aldridge brother, rock star Beacon, and his best friend, talented cellist Grace Bradley. Beacon and Grace were super cute together with all of their inside jokes and teasing banter, but they had a number of issues to work through before they could be together. The biggest challenge they faced was a secret Beacon had been keeping from Grace since they left for college. While keeping the secret wasn't entirely Beacon's decision, he still had quite a bit of groveling to do before Grace forgave him.
Since the beginning of the series, it's been pretty clear that Beacon's been keeping secrets from his brothers too, and I was excited to finally learn what those were. I never could have predicted the truth about his mysterious side gig, however! I loved the touch of suspense it brought to this story, as well as the way Beacon was finally forced to deal with his trust and abandonment issues when his brothers found out the truth. The Aldridge brothers are finally becoming a real family, and with each story, we gather a few more clues about why their estranged father wanted all of them together in Baker's Creek so badly that he came up with the crazy stipulations in his will.
Overall, "Call You Mine" was nothing like what I expected it to be, but I loved it. I highly recommend this story for fans of contemporary romance, romantic comedy, and even light romantic suspense. I'm more excited for the last two books of the series than ever! (I hope we'll see Grace's brother Seth and the guys from Beacon's band again at some point too. They need their own stories!)

I fell in love with the Aldridge Brothers from the first book. Each time I read one of theirs stories I think I have found a new favorite brother. After reading Beacon's story, he will forever be my favorite. I don't care what Mills and Vance bring, Beacon is my favorite.
He is full of love. Love for the family he grew up with. Love for his band who is his family. Learning to love his brothers. Most importantly though, is his love for Grace.
This is such a touching second chance friends-to-lovers romance. Beacon doesn't just write touching songs about Grace. He speaks beautiful words regularly.
"Hearts are made to beat, to love, and sometimes they break. But they mend and love again." Beacon Aldridge, Call You Mine
This book held some interesting surprises for me. I did not predict Beacon and Grace's second job.
I absolutely love how Claudia Burgoa brings characters from so many of her other stories into this book. She has masterfully created several families, with different career focuses, that seem to all be coming together with the Aldridge Brothers.
There are some incredibly heart warming moments in this book. Moments where some secondary characters and background characters make appearances and start to show that they can and want to change. The most unexpected character appearance almost brought me to tears.
I know that when we reach the end of the Aldridge Brothers stories I will be forever changed, and sad to see their stories end.
I hope to read more stories about the members of Too Far from Grace (tell me that the name of Beacon's band wasn't his way of telling Grace he loved her from the very beginning. How did she miss that?)

This totally went in a different direction than I was expecting.
Grace and Beacon have been friends forever. So after several failed attempts at dating, Grace decided to ask Beacon for help. Beacon, on the other hand, has always have not-so-friendly feelings for Grace, in which he’s been hiding. Don't even get me started on this, if you've been following me for awhile, you'd know I get frustrated easily, (but I still love my slow burn) so yes I did got frustrated. Just because I want Beacon to just express his feelings
