We. Are. Fa-mi-ly.

Ben and Aurelia have loved each other for years... they just didn't know it. Stuck in unrequited love limbo, Aurelia decides to jump on the chance to start over - new town, new place, new business venture, new life. Right? Ben doesn't want to lose his best friend, the only woman he's ever loved, so he finds excuses to get her to stay. What happens when the biggest reason of all literally finds its way to his door?

I always know when I read a book from Melissa Foster that the story will be epic and she did not let me down. Call Her Mine had easy to love characters, a spicy coming together moment, little to no drama, warm family and friends interactions, and so much love that I just wanted to hug and squeeze the book in my hands forever. I felt for Ben and his situation. Trying to distance himself from Aurelia and the hopelessness he felt in getting his happily ever after, he tended to get involved in one night stands. No muss, no fuss. At least, that's what he thought until one such encounter created a blessing that not only taught him about a different type of love, but brought him the woman he always wanted. I admired Aurelia for her strength in standing by his side. I felt conflicted because on one hand, it was hurtful that he had created a life with someone else. But on the other, he was wholly devoted to her and building a life and future with her.

While this was most definitely a friends-to-lovers romance, and there were plenty of romantic and swoon-worthy moments to be found, it was also about the baby and how these two characters had to change and adapt for this huge change in their lives. Neither of them were prepared to welcome a baby, especially since they were just starting to navigate their way through new coupledom. But I feel like the author pulled off this complicated story with her usual finesse and it was impossible to not fall in love with everyone and their moments. I loved having this visit with the Daltons (seriously, aren't they just the best family?) and I'm looking forward to more of these people. Will Fletcher ever find his match? What about Piper? And with the amount of times I've seen Jared Stone, does he have a story? I'm staying tuned...

Book Synopsis

Two besties and a baby make for an instafamily and a surprising romance in a delightful series by Melissa Foster, the New York Times bestselling author of the Sugar Lake novels.

Ben Dalton has always been honest, except where his heart is concerned. He’s been in love with his best friend—saucy, smart-mouthed Aurelia Stark—forever. But Ben’s a planner, and timing has never been on his side. When he finally decides to make his move, Aurelia beats him to the punch with a move of her own—to a different town.

Aurelia loves her new life in the charming town of Harmony Pointe. She has a great apartment and her very own bookstore, and best of all, the sinfully hot, commitment-phobic friend she’s crushed on for years is no longer just around the corner. Maybe she’ll finally be able to leave her unrequited love behind and move on.

But when a baby is left on Ben’s front porch—a baby that is presumably his—Aurelia is there for him. Neither one knows the first thing about babies, but how hard can it be? Ben and Aurelia are catapulted into a world of love, laughter, and tracking down the baby mama, and it might even add up to a very happily ever after… just not one either of them expects.
