Like You Love Me is a the first book in the Honey Creek series by Adrianna Locke. It is a book about Sophie and her childhood best friend Holden. Holden is back in town after ten years away after his life had taken an unexpected turn loosing his job and fiancé. He is helping his grandfather out at the Honey Creek Animal Clinic while his grandfather is on vacation and waiting for his life to get back on track. Spitfire Sophie comes into the clinic and their easy friendly banter starts right up like there was no time left at all that they were away from each other. When an opportunity comes about for Holden to get his dream job in Orlando and its because he is seemed to be a family man with a great concept of commitment Holden needs a wife, and he needs one now. Sophie is struggling to keep her late grandmothers inn afloat with taxes from previous years after her husband divorced her and left her broke so when Holden offers up a way to have them both get what they need in life they agree to get married and have both of their lives on track for their own happiness; a marriage of convenience, like a business arrangement and no feelings involved, no touching, and an annulment after everything is in place. But with so much chemistry can they keep to these rules?
This book was just the type of book I needed in my life right now. It does have a different vibe from the Adrianna books we all know and love but that does not mean its a bad thing. Its very light, heartful, and loving. Its a book that just makes you feel good while reading it and not only does it focus on these two, it also has so much family love and support. I love the relationship Sophie has with her sister. Olivia was one of my favorite character's in this book. I could not put it down and read it all in one sitting. I cannot wait to see what the rest of this series holds!
*ARC exchanged for honest review
“I’m sure it’ll be okay,” I offer.
“Will it, though? Or will they look at me and be, like, ‘Hey, this guy was doing great but lost his job and fiancée in the course of a month. He’s probably going through something that we don’t want to be a part of.”
“Well . . . that does sound bad when you put it like that.”
We both laugh, the sound of our voices mixing together over our fish.
“I’ll give you a reference,” I joke. “I’m a great personal-reference giver. I gave one to Debbie’s sister, Donna, and she got a job at the bank. Probably because of me.”
“Oh, I’m sure it was because of you. Absolutely.”
“Whatever. It probably was. I come across as genuine and a really salt-of-the-earth kind of person,” I say, popping a fry into my mouth. “Besides, we’ve basically been engaged since you asked me to marry you with a giant candy ring.”
He laughs. “I might need you to be my fiancée for a while longer. To convince Montgomery I’m a good guy and that he should hire me.”
“I’d have him eating out of the palm of my hand.” I wink. “You’d probably be vice president of the company before it was over.”
Holden takes a bite of his sandwich and watches me over the top of it. There’s something about the way he looks at me with a twinkle in his eye that makes me squirm.
In a good way.
I think.
