Review: Be Mine, Sweetheart (Something Borrowed) by Codi Gary

RULE #3: DON’T MIX BUSINESS WITH MIXED DRINKS

Kelly Barrow, the founder of Something Borrowed, didn’t get the happily ever after she counted on, but she considers herself fortunate anyway. After all, she has a thriving business and a loving family and friends. Yet ten years after her heartbreak, surrounded by couples in love, she knows it’s time to move on—and the gorgeous actor who hires her for his sister’s wedding seems like the perfect opportunity. There’s just one problem. Her best friend and legal counsel, Christian Ryan, keeps getting in her way . . .

Chris has been a shoulder to lean on since they were kids, and Kelly never expected him to interfere in her dating life. She doesn’t realize that over the years, Chris’s feelings have grown beyond friendship. The timing just never seemed right—until now. And as the two of them work through the wedding’s inevitable surprises and disasters, Kelly begins to wonder if she’s been looking for love in the exact wrong place . . .

Terri's Thoughts

I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via Netgalley in return for an honest review.  Thank you!

This was the third in the Something Borrowed series and I have had the pleasure to have read all of them.  If you are picking this up without reading the first two, you will probably be ok however I believe it would be enjoyed more if it was read in order as there are characters throughout who were in the first two stories.

I got exactly what I expected from this story.  It was a read that flowed nicely and kept me properly entertained.  In fact I got through this book rather quickly.  You have to love a best friends story that turns in to more.  It is always heartwarming.

For the most part the characters were likable however I have to admit that Kelly got on my nerves from time to time.  She did have a tendency to overreact and misinterpret words a little too often and I just wanted to scream "use you listening skills"!  Perhaps it just felt a little too much like my job in those moments.  Aside from that I couldn't wait for both Kelly and Chris to wake up and smell the coffee.

Codi Gary never disappoints me and I look forward to reading more of her work.  I'm not sure if there will be more with this series or perhaps a new one, regardless I will keep my eyes open.
