Borrowed Hearts (Library Love Notes)

Review of an advance copy received from author

This is such a sweet and blossoming love story between Eden, a high school teacher, and Hudson, the attractive firefighter in town. The cutest thing about their story is that their feelings start growing from a fake dating plan that doesn’t seem fake at all.

Their fake dating begins as soon as Adam, Eden’s ex, moves to Beaver Creek and even ends up working at the same high school as her. At first, the goal is very simple: make Adam leave Eden alone. Yet the sweetness in Eden’s and Hudson’s interactions feels so genuine like they’re meant to be from the very beginning. Every moment they spend together is free from awkwardness, making it completely believable that they’re already in something real, raw, and unrehearsed.

Another highlight from my reading experience is a small strategy hidden inside the fake dating plot.

Yes, it involves pairing Eden’s ex with her friend.

Oh boy, if you translate that strategy into words, it would basically sound like “Get over me, dude!” Lol.

From now on, if I ever have a friend whose ex refuses to move on from them, I’ll probably tell them to set their ex up with their friend. Apparently, it works. Lol.

🤔 Does this type of read make you smile from ear to ear?

🗣️ Yes, it sure does.

If you’re looking for a romance that keeps a smile on your face with plenty of sweetness, chemistry, and feel-good moments, this book definitely has what you’re looking for.
