Chock-full of sexy, sweet, and swoony GOODNESS!
“Let me just kiss you for a while.” Once Upon a Sure Thing by Lauren Blakely is chock-full of sexy, sweet, and swoony GOODNESS! Miller and Ally are two people you will want to root for instantly. Their chemistry and their banter in their friendship felt easy and light, but everything changes when they start singing together. Emotions and bonds grow, vulnerabilities are shared, the line they thought they drew a long time ago…shattered. Six years is a long time staying in the “friend-zone”. The chemistry is there. The admiration is there…the respect…their hearts are even in the game. It’s their head, their mind that’s getting in the way of their happily ever after. They might have entered into a temporary arrangement, but neither of them are paying attention to the clock when the music is between them. If you’ve read my reviews in the past, you know that I think Lauren Blakely is an absolute powerhouse in the romance genre. Ally and Miller’s beautiful love story proves that to be correct. She brings us page after page, chapter after chapter of love, laughter, sex, and romance. It’s the perfect combination and the perfect recipe for a bestselling romance read. If you haven’t experienced your happy place in a while, GRAB THIS BOOK…or grab anything by this author because she will take you there with such ease, you won’t even remember a time when weren’t on cloud nine reading this woman’s words…getting absolutely lost in her beautiful storytelling. *ARC provided by the author*

    I absolutely hate friends to lovers romance. Ok that's a lie. But, I am not a huge fan of the just being "friends" part. That scene really makes me frustrated. In all honesty, I liked this book but it wasn't as good as Once Upon A Real Good Time. I really loved that one. This one did have all the feelers and sweetness and hotness. But it was just missing that little something. I can't quite put my finger on it.

    I liked Ally and Miller together. I love books where the H is not a player, letting us know about all his conquests. Miller is just a regular guy. He was someone next door. Ally was also a next door neighbor. She would be someone to borrow sugar from. I know I am a dork but the first time I got all teary eye was when Campbell (Milller/Miles brother) decided to play with Miller (band). It was the sweetest thing ever. The greatest Christmas present. The second time I cried was when Chloe called Ally, mom. I thought I wasn't going to be able to read after that. It was spectacular. I'm glad to have Campbell, Ally and Sam make there appearances. But you don't have to read Once Upon A Real Good Time to enjoy this one. Though I'd highly recommend reading it first. You'll get so much more enjoyment. Now onto Once Upon A Wild Fling.

    **I voluntarily read an early copy of this title courtesy of the author in exchange for an honest review**

    I'm a Lauren Blakely fan and have been for some time, but I do believe that this trio of brothers that she has created for the Heartbreakers series are some of the best she's introduced and this might just be my favorite series of hers yet.

    We met best friends Miller and Ally in Once Upon A Real Good Time and while you can enjoy this book without having read that one, it would help as you get to know some of the other characters that are along for the ride in this one. Plus, it was awesome, so you should read it!

    For six years Miller and Ally have been through everything together - highs and lows, boyfriends and girlfriends, and the bond and love they have for one another is obvious to everyone around them. When Miller decides he wants to start a new band, Ally decides she's going to submit a video for the audition, but little does Miller know it's her at first.

    As the two of them embark upon this new singing partnership, they are put into situations that makes both of them take stock of how they really feel about the other person. Their chemistry is undeniable and they are so comfortable with one another and can banter with the best of them. They are sweet and sexy without even really realizing it. As their attraction continues to grow, so do the concerns about whether or not their friendship can survive. But isn't the saying love is friendship on fire?!

    The was a fantastic friends to lovers story and what I loved is that Blakely stayed true to the characters the whole way through. They had challenges they had to work around, but the way they were resolved felt natural to the relationship that Miller and Ally had always had. It didn't feel forced or overdone and the friendship was always front and center.

    I was intrigued by this duo when I was reading the first book in the series and it did not disappoint! I can hardly wait to see how Miles' book unfolds. I have no doubt it will be as amazing as the first two have been!

    I loved this book from start to finish. Once Upon A Sure Thing is a very sweet friends to loversromance. And so freaking hot. I simply couldn’t put it down. The story flows effortlessly, it sucks you right in.

    Ally is an audiobook narrator who is fairly successful, and a singer sensation in You Tube thanks to the videos where she sings with her brother. She has been her niece Chloe’s legal guardian since her sister died six years ago. Her immediate goal is to provide for Chloe, so she needs to find a way to earn more money.

    Miller is Ally’s best friend and has been for the past six years. He is single and has enough money he doesn’t need to work. He is a good guy. And hot. His only problem? He is bored. He needs to find something to do he is passionate about, so he decides to follow hos brother Campbell’s advice and start a new band. But this time, he wants to sing with a woman.

    After they start singing together they discover their chemistry is off the charts, and find themselves unable to resist the attraction they feel for each other. They begin a friends with benefits arrangement, that soon becomes too intense and could risk their friendship. They will need to decide what is it they want, and if they are willing to risk everything to get it.

    Well, this very well may be one of Lauren Blakely‘s best romantic comedies of all time, and that is saying a lot because all her books are awesome. I loved this book so, so much. It’s sexy, so freaking hot, intense, funny, sweet, so... everything. It is perfect. I loved both Ally and Miller, their banter, their dirty talk, their personalities. I would totally recommend this book to anyone. It is so worth it.

    OMG the audiobook is incredible. Andi Arndt and Sebastian York have an amazing chemistry together, it is just so damn good. It is sexy, intense and hot. I loved that Erin Mallon made an appearance as Macy when she was texting with Ally. I’m in love with this audiobook. Totally worth it.

    Miller and Ally have been best friends almost instantly from the time the met 6 years ago, and wasnt until he wanted someone to sing with have their hidden feelings started to get unlocked.

    These two seem like only best friends, but they spend time with each others family, spend time together, he has a close relationship with her niece she is raising.

    They sing well together and it could be big, but what if there's more...

    I really have been enjoying this series about brothers and about kids and family and music. I loved the best friends to lovers story and am glad they didn't take too much time to figure out their feelings.

    Cannot wait for Roxy and Miles and the heartbreakers.

    This is one of those books that hooks you from page one. And what's not to like?! Miller is a former rockstar who still has music in his blood, Ally is his sassy and confident best friend who also enjoys singing.

    When Miller decides to change things up and start a duet with a female singer, Ally knows she has to audition. Trouble is, they've sung together before and her 'clean choir girl' soprano doesn't match his voice. What Miller doesn't know is that Ally has been taking voice coaching to bring out her huskier, grittier side. She sends in the audition tape under a false name, and Miller is blown away. He invites her to a studio session to see how they work together and he is stunned, amazed and a little turned on when he recognises her under the disguise she's set up. But their chemistry on the stage soon translates into more off the stage, and now they're both worried it's one sided and that they'll lose their best friend for good.

    I loved their story, and the part that Chloe played as well. It was great getting to know Miller when we only saw a little of him in the first book. Ally is an amazing female lead and I couldn't help but love her too.

    This book could be read as a stand alone, but was all the better for me having read the first and having that background.

    Highly recommend this contemporary romance series, and can't wait for the next book to come out!
