Publisher's summary

Theo MacLeod wasn't supposed to be the one.

Tall, dark and handsome suits me just fine, but the cocky grin, know-it-all attitude, and mammoth ego? No thanks. I only hired him so I wouldn't have to sit at the singles table again. It was just pretend.

He wasn't supposed to kiss me. My heart wasn't supposed to pound. We weren't supposed to spend the night together - the hottest night of my life. One night turns into a snowed-in weekend away, and even the blizzard of the century can't cool the fire between us. I can't get enough - of his smile, of his body, of the way he makes me feel.

We're nothing alike. He's a daredevil, and I'm a nervous Nellie. He's a drifter, and I want to put down roots. He's an opportunist with a checkered past, and I'm a Girl Scout volunteer.

But none of it matters when I'm in his arms.

I know he's made mistakes. I know his wounds are deep, and he doesn't trust easily. I know he doesn't believe he could ever be enough to make me happy, but he could. All he has to do is stay.

Once again…

Truly written to show how childhood can be for some something one has to work pass to claim one’s own life

Great story

My very first romance book. I was not disappointed. I bought all of them can’t wait to read them all.

Palm to my chest the entire book... oh gasp!

You know the book that you read or listen to and you’re thinking or shouting out the entire time like “no don’t do it” “yes you can” this is that book. I’m like “awww don’t cry” “don’t go” and so active with this book I couldn’t stay away. Uhhh my heart uhhh the teeth marks on my fist uhhh the love. I just can’t stand it I can’t handle it awwwwwwww what a beautiful “fairy tale.”

Claire & Theo

So far this is my favorite of the Series. Claire is tired of dating the wrong men and convinced she will never fall in love, steps out of her comfort zone and hires Theo as her date for hire to a wedding to avoid the singles table.Theo is charming, intuitive and broken, hiding behind his fears and only showing what he wants to. He has a checkered past, a crappy childhood and abandonment issues, but after one night with Claire things change. Their connection is hot and Steamy as he figures his past out and Claire is showing him that he can trust and stay, but the doubts continue to surface, will he figure it out before he loses her. Loved the Fairytale ending. Great job to the narrators.

beauty within...

I have to say that I really loved this book. I love the fact that even though it started as a job it turn into something that was truly believable. Sometimes its hard for one to see that we are amazing when we dont feel that way. True we are make mistakes and have our own insecurities but it is so much better when someone else believes in you! it was an amazing Love story.

Staying power!

Cotton candy couples therapy: A surprisingly endearing and enduring story! It taught me the importance of taking things slow and building a foundation of friendship. Realistically, the "days" should have been weeks and the weeks should have been months. The characters should have picked up the phone and talked to each other more than to everyone else.

Perfect

I enjoyed every delicious word! Telling the story that everyone has a little baggage, doesn’t mean it has to stay packed and ready to go.

so adorable......a must read.

I suggest reading the 4 or 5 star reviews to get an idea of how awesome this story is. I have no complaints. Bravo Harlow......I felt every emotion from the characters even shedding a tear or two on more than one occasion. absolutely moving.

AWESOME!!!

I justed loved this book! I had been introduced to Melanie Harlow writing, after she had co-written a few books with Corrine Michaels, and fell in love with her instantly. Since then, I've searched out for novels that she has stepped out on her on and still been impressed with everything I've read so fall.

"If You Were Mine," a story about Claire and Theo; being the two main characters of the novel, was quite different from what I thought it would be about based on the title alone. I was oh so wrong but no way disappointed by it. If anything I was more drawn in, as you will be after reading it yourself.

It was filled with love, anguish, humor, disappointment, anxiety, fight and LOTS of Hot, Hot, 🔥 STEAMY sex. The heroine learns about sensous side of herself up to a new world of romance that she thought she would only read and experience it in her romance novels.

Although the hero of the story was able to bring out that side of her that may have forever been hidden, there was something about him that he didn't share with anyone; a reason he didn't allow anyone to get close to him.
Could a relationship with only one all in and the other hiding secrets???

Renee Givens and Rob Howard both had done a wonderful job narrating this novel and I look forward to future readings by them.
"If You Were Mine" deserves every bit of 5stars, if there was a way to rate the book and narration higher, I would because there would deserve every bit more of it!

Better than expected.

New author and narrators for me and with this book, I'm a fan of all three. 😁 Despite being in a series, this can be read/heard as a standalone; cause I totally don't have any others in the series lol.
This was a fun listen full of feel good and depressing moments (for those of us who are painfully single...) and some hot scenes, and deceptively deep. ❤
