Love makes life happen. From sweet to sassy, Love Fast is HOT. Bay makes the heart tingle and the senses sizzle with unpredictable emotions, irresistible characters and unforgettable romance. Byron and Rosey bring heart and humor full circle. Personality that lights up the canvas without any fear of shining through.

 When I found myself staring at my Kindle with that familiar "what should I read next?" feeling, I decided it was time to tackle my ever-growing ARC pile. Thanks to Hambright PR for providing this advance copy! Knowing Louise Bay's track record for delivering swoon-worthy romance, I dove into "Love Fast" – and honestly, it was exactly what I needed.

The story kicks off with Rosey literally running away from her wedding day. She's about to marry Frank, an older man who represents security rather than love, all to help her struggling family. But when push comes to shove, Rosey can't go through with sacrificing her happiness for financial stability. Instead, she becomes a runaway bride and somehow ends up in Star Falls, Colorado – a small town that immediately captured my heart with its cozy charm.

Here's where the plot thickens: the local inn is completely booked because of construction on a new luxury resort called The Colorado Club. This isn't just any resort – it's designed for centimillionaires (yes, I had to Google that term too!) and billionaires. Enter Byron Miller, the resort's owner who's returned to his hometown and happens to be renting two cabins. He offers one to Rosey, setting up the perfect proximity for romance to bloom.

What follows is admittedly formulaic – our runaway bride falls for the billionaire next door who also happens to become her boss when she gets a job as a waitress at his resort. Rosey has no clue about Byron's wealth initially, which creates that delicious tension we romance readers live for. The central conflict revolves around whether Byron can prove he's different from Frank – that he won't try to control her or make her dependent on his money.

What I absolutely loved about this book was Byron's character. Unlike so many billionaire romance heroes who are arrogant jerks we're supposed to find irresistible, Byron has a genuinely big heart. He's not trying to prove his worth through dominance or control. Instead, he's a man who grew up as "the local drunk's son" and is determined to give back to his community by creating jobs and opportunities through his resort.

The romance develops quickly – this is definitely insta-love territory – but Louise Bay writes it with enough emotional depth that it feels believable rather than rushed. The small-town setting adds warmth to the story, and I found myself rooting for both characters to overcome their fears about wealth, control, and trust.

"Love Fast" delivers exactly what it promises: a feel-good billionaire romance with heart, a refreshingly kind hero, and a heroine who knows her worth. Sometimes formulaic comfort reading is exactly what we need, and Louise Bay executes it beautifully. 

Byron’s back in Star Falls trying to redeem himself with the Colorado Club, and then there's Rosey, who’s on her own adventure for freedom. Cue the sparks!

Thank you to the author for the eARC.

There’s something about Louise Bay’s billionaires that I can’t resist. Byron is back in his home town, where he’s not so secretly trying to prove himself. And in walks Rosey, a bride on the run, trying to escape her old life. Sparks immediately fly.

I loved both Byron and Rosey. Both of them have baggage, but neither let it hold them back, and both of them show great personal growth. I love a story where the characters recognize something in them that they need to work on. It’s not like finding a partner fixes everything, but it helps give you the motivation and strength to work on yourself.

With a great balance of spice, quirky side characters, cameos from the New York Billionaires, and a pet cat, Love Fast was a wonderful read that I couldn’t put down. Can’t wait for Fisher’s story next!

ALC Review ✨️

♡Rosey & Byron☆

Rosey is a runaway bride because she knew she couldn't marry the wrong guy. She ends up in Starfalls, Colorado, but she has nothing. Only her wedding dress and a past she can't wait to forget. Byron ends up being her neighbor when she finally finds a place to rent. 

Byron is back in Starfalls to start a business, and he has no room for any interference. Including from a runaway bride but he can't help but be attracted to her. 

The audio was the best! The narrators really made the characters pop and bought the story to life. As far as the story itself, I loved it so much! These characters were just meant to be. 💞🙌 This fresh start is just what the both of them desperately need. 

Tropes: 
💞Small town romance 
💞Runaway bride 
💞Forced proximity 
💞Strangers to lovers 

Thanks so much to the author and Hambright Pr for the ALC!
