Rosey runs from the wrong wedding and ends up in a small town with nothing but a wedding dress and a heavy past. She meets Byron, the brooding billionaire next door who wants zero complications, but of course, life has other plans.

This one’s for the slow burn fans. Byron falls first, and he falls hard. He’s kind, respectful, and totally smitten, even when he’s pretending not to be. Rosey’s growth is the heart of the story. She’s brave, protective of her sisters, and determined to break free from the toxicity she grew up with. Watching her slowly let herself trust again is really rewarding.

And the audio performance? Jason Clarke and Samantha Brentmoor are an incredible duo. Jason captures Byron’s shift from cold to completely lovestruck with so much depth, and Samantha brings Rosey’s mix of strength and softness to life in such a moving way.

This is small-town romance with heart, healing, and chemistry that builds beautifully. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a feel-good escape with real emotional stakes.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I SIMPLY CANNOT STOP MY LOVE OF BILLIONAIRE ROMANCE!! Love Fast showed that sometimes all you have to do is move to a new town to find the love of your life... maybe I should take a note out of her book! ON the real, I loved seeing Rosey find herself while also finding love. This was such a great story... so good!

So so good! I breezed through this one in less than 24 hours (and thats only because I had to work) and my only regret is now I have to wait for the next book in Colorado Club. Ever since Worth and Sophia’s book, I’ve been chomping at the bit for this one, and it did not disappoint! Louise Bay is quickly becoming one of my favorites and I fear I’m going to have to take a break from ARCs one day just to read her entire backlist. Lol

This entertaining romance starts with a runaway bride, Rosey. She takes off with no plan and ends up in small town Star Falls, Colorado. 

Byron is back in his hometown, Star Falls from NYC, where he’s made a success out of himself. He still has something he wants to prove about his past, to himself and the people of Star Falls. There he’s built an exclusive, members only luxury resort. He’s in town to oversee the opening and hiring. 

Rosey and Byron are both running from their pasts, they end up next door to each other in cozy cabins and begin a friendship…. They have immediate and obvious chemistry that builds as they get to know each other. 

It’s a really sweet and very steamy romance with a bit of hidden identity aspect. They both could use some support and a fresh start. Together they build towards that, and start a friends with benefits relationship that has an end date. They are kind, warm and caring people. I was rooting for them to have their HEA together. 

Things get a bit complicated, so they back off from the s3xy benefits aspect. 

I love that they have time apart from their original relationship to discover themselves, to work towards finding out what they really value and want from life. 

The small town is charming and hilarious. Plenty of gossip and meddling from the characters who’ve lived there for life. It’s quaint, entertaining and fun. 

This is a really heartfelt story with fantastic characters and plenty of laughs. It’s the perfect amount of spicy and sweet!

"i've learned from a lifetime without it that love is a doing word …” 🖤

- small town

- workplace romance (he’s her boss)
- he’s returning home after years
- billionaire romance
- he falls first 

i have read almost every single book by louise bay and love fast is most certainly up there with being one of my all time favorites from her !! watching byron and rosey fall in love, while also overcoming their own personal issues, is exactly what i want in my small town romances .

This is only my second book by Louise Bay but I highly enjoyed my time getting to know Byron and Rosey! A runaway bride happens to land in Star Falls, CO where a billionaire is building a resort for billionaires and they fall into a relationship? Yes, please!

Byron is such a great guy. He is super rich but so down to earth. He listens to people's ideas for the betterment of his resort and the land surrounding it.

Rosey got herself out of a horrible situation (her mom was terrible) and she made good for herself. I love that even though she falls for Byron, she still wanted to work and make her own choices since she grew up not getting her own choices. 

I loved seeing Worth and the boys that I got to know through Hero + Vegas make appearances. The fire that Byron and Rosey have is so much better with the sweetness of them.

I absolutely adored Love Fast by Louise Bay.  It is the first book in Bay’s new series, Colorado Club Billionaires.  

We first met Bryon through the New York City Billionaires Series. I’ve been waiting for his story as all we really knew about him was that he was a billionaire who was a bit secretive, and always running off to Colorado.  Love Fast finally answers all the questions I had about him and I loved him!  Protective, a bit broody and has this desire to change his past.  Or at least how people remember him and his past life in Star Falls.  

The way Rosey entered Bryon’s life was the meet cute of the century.  Showing up in her wedding dress?  Fantastic.  I immediately liked Rosey and really felt for her situation.  She wanted to make sure everyone in her life was happy but she forgot about the one person who mattered…herself.  I enjoyed her arc of self discovery throughout this read.  

I can’t wait for the next book in this series!

Thank you to Louise Bay for the ARC of this book.
