I did not realize I had read this long ago as the 3rd book in a box set. I totally enjoyed it, again (I looked it up on my read list after). So, the quiet guy rescues the almost everyone hates her girl …. and it turns out the real villain is someone no one would expect at first. But, you get to laugh quite a bit at the crazy wedding. All the loving is sweet and innocent.
If you want a different kind of romance with some twists and turns this is it. Great surprises loved the characters. Couldn’t put it down
Enough foreshadowing to make you want o continue reading. Enjoyable!
Interesting story. Sometimes it’s right there in front of you.
A nice little story that past the time quickly. They were so cute together. Really nice chemistry. Nice ending as well.
A really emotional romance.
Melinda has spent the last ten years making up to her family for a teenage mistake by running the family restaurant with the bare minimum of staff. To the point of working eighty-hour weeks when she can’t find anyone to work. But she’s exhausted and thinks it is time for her penance to be over. When her mother calls to tell her that her sister, Bree, is getting married and she is supposed to not only be there but bring a date, Melinda knows she’s stuck. She hasn’t got a date to bring but she asks her best friend, Daniel, if he would mind going with her. Daniel agrees to it because he cares for Melinda and wants her happy. But what happens next doesn’t seem to make anyone happy…
This is the third book in the Borrowing Amor series but it can easily be read as a standalone.

Book three in Borrowing Amor is a well written story that I enjoyed reading. Melinda Garrett is going to her sister’s wedding and she tells everyone she is engaged which she is not. She asks Daniel Armstrong her friend. But Daniel has not told her something that happened in his earlier life. Reading how these two get to their happy ending makes for a very good story.

Very interesting story. When Melinda starts telling a lie to get want she wants & get her parents off her back she has to continue to tell more lies. That’s not always a beneficial action. Does it work? You have to read the book to find out. It didn’t happen the way I thought it would & that’s all I can say w/o giving away the ending. I really like the story a lot. I received an ARC copy & this is my honest, voluntary opinion.
Melinda just wants to the escape the family diner that’s she’s been forced to run for the past ten years. Her cooks Devon and Claire should be the ones running it, but her parents still refuse to sell it to them even though they promised she would only run it for a few years and she won’t let Devon and Claire lose their dreams so she’s stuck. And now she’s forced to go her sister Bree’s wedding, the one she thinks was the golden child who got everything she wanted. Little does she know her sister is engaged to a man she hates and that she was forced to choose a career she’s unhappy with. Her best friend Daniel is supportive through the whole thing even going along with a fake engagement. But will his past catch up with him or will he finally get the girl of his dreams? There was a lot of humor and drama in this romance. I wanted to shake Melinda’s mother and grandmother although her father was a riot. Daniel was a great guy with a troubled past and Melinda had to overcome a lot of misconceptions about herself too.
This is a fun and entertaining story with having a fake fiance with a friend. The characters are strong and likable and have a sizzling chemistry. The author brings anxiety,laughter and a growing awareness of passion and love for one another. It’s a well written feel good romance , moves quickly and smoothly and I enjoyed reading.

Clean Rom-Com in New Mexico
This is a fun and funny romance that takes place in New Mexico. It includes spending a few days at a resort in the White Sands where the author shares some fun facts about those sand dunes. The plot is done very well and is not trite. Th journey to the end is a bit rough and the conclusion is never a sure thing. This author knows how to keep a novel interesting. I have read several of her novels and they are all worth reading again. I received this book for free and this is my honest review.
Borrowing a Fiance #3 – This is my favorite of the series, more than Borrowing Christmas, which I love. It is hilarious; the stuff that goes on in this story had my sides hurting from laughing so much. The characters are really likeable and loveable. The storylines mesh well with the characters growing into who they should become while discovering what is important. The white sands of NM are an important character too.
This fast paced story is very entertaining and quickly read. There is so much more to this story, but this is a review, not a book report. If possible, but not necessary read Borrowing Christmas first to get the foundation to this story. I contacted the author to review her books and received this book through Booksprout. 4*
Borrowing Christmas #1 – This is my first read by this author and I enjoyed the storylines. The characters are interesting, funny and sincere. Many good things happen in this cute, quickly read second chance at starting over and a first for romance. Learning to trust is difficult when coming from a bad background, but buckling down instead of under is most of the battle. This story is better than I expected. I found this book on Booksprout. 4*
Borrowing Love #2 – Personally I would read this book after reading Borrowing Time, it’s the before to this after story. This is a sadder, more toned down book than Borrowing Christmas. I liked all of the characters, especially Zoe; but Ruby, poor girl, had a hard row to hoe. She lost all her family except her brother and four years later is still lost. An old high school friend comes to town and shakes her up. The good storylines moved at a fast paced keeping the reader’s interest. I contacted the author to review her books and received this book through Booksprout. 4*
Borrowing Time #4 – It was difficult to read this book since I had already read the second book of the series; spoilers. I actually think this book should be read before Borrowing Love since it’s about how Ruby and Clark met and their romance. Of course, I read them backwards and I suffered since I knew their future already. A quick, entertaining read with interesting storylines and characters, humor and dogs. This is a good story but Borrowing Christmas is my favorite. I contacted the author to review her books and received this book through her newsletter. 4*
Cute story
A quick relaxing afternoon read with wonderful characters! Entertaining storyline will keep reading.
It was ok. I liked Daniel and thought he deserved better. There was nothing really redeeming about Melinda, and quite frankly I was at a loss as to what in her would have appealed to him other than she was hard working. It was supposed to be an angsty book, but mostly it just felt flat. It wasn’t horrible, but just not great either. If I liked the heroine a bit better I would have enjoyed the story more, it was one of the few romances I read where I was rooting for them not to get together. Daniel deserved better. The whole run the diner as punishment for a decade was just weird.
Interesting three-dimensional characters with a good storyline.
