Every book, every small town, every swoony hero, every sassy heroine, and every heartfelt storyline, Adriana Locke gives you the distinct feeling that the words you are reading are written straight from her heart but never have I had that feeling with the intensity I had while reading Like You Love Me.
Sophie is sassy, and determined to do whatever it takes to keep the Bed and Breakfast she inherited from her grandmother because it’s not just a business it’s a piece of her heart.
Holden was a perfect mix of cocky and swoon. He thought he had everything figured out then after his life had a bit of an upheaval he thought that after a short time in Honey Creek working at his grandfather’s veterinary clinic that he was going to be on his way to his dream job. The moment he hears Sophie’s sassy voice the sizzle of chemistry between them is a catalyst of a fake marriage that leads to the once in a lifetime kind of love.
I loved the banter between Holden and Sophie that started with the first words they spoke to one another. They clearly have a connection with one another that makes it feel like not a day has passed that they were last together. It doesn’t take long for them to realize that the fake marriage arrangement isn’t what they thought it would be.
Like You Love Me is unequivocally my new favorite book by Adriana Locke. A beautifully written heartwarming story with a flawless blend of intoxicating chemistry, witty banter, small town charm, and interfering family members that I can’t wait to read about.

Welcome to Honey Creek! What an amazing start to a new series! I have been so excited to read this one! Adriana Locke is on my 1-click author list for many reasons, but first and foremost how her stories are always centered around family. Don’t get me wrong there are so many more amazing things about this story but to me the relationships the characters have with there families make them who they are.
Sophie and Holden spent their summers growing up with each other they were best friends. Flash forward to now, Holden comes to town to help out his grandad and the sparks fly.
Pick up this book, get sucked into the Honey Creek world of characters, it seems like such a fun place. I didn’t want to leave. Adriana has written a beautiful love story that you are going to love! I know that I did!

I love small town romances, and this one had all of the feels. I listened to the audiobook so I don't know if that makes a difference. I liked both Holden and Sophie's characters. I don't think there was a character in the book that I didn't like. There wasn't a ton of angst, or any of that wishy washy back and forth stuff.
Holden and Sophie made a decision and stuck with it. Granted, it all happened pretty quickly, but their friendship blossomed into so much more. Their dialogue was a little witty and fun. It showed how one alteration in a life plan can change the entire direction of your life. I also liked both Liv and Jobe. Hopefully they will get their own stories soon.
This was sweet, sexy, low key, feel good romance that will leave you smiling as Holden and Sophie get their HEA. If you are looking for a nice, no stress romance, this one should work.
