I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. Wow, this story has a very interesting storyline! I loved it! I do enjoy a good story where the two main characters are together for most of the book. And the family emergency made for a very interesting twist. Since it’s no surprise that they will end up together and get their HEA, I can say that my most favorite part is their wedding vows. They are some of the most beautiful vows I’ve ever read.
Close to the Heart!
Owen and Gemma’s story hits real close to home for me, especially how Owen takes on his niece and nephews because his sister is a junkie! I am all too familiar with how this story ends but I loved the hardship of the story line but yet the lightness and all the sexy dirty feels goods that spark and sizzle between Owen and Gemma.
Gemma is definitely a fierce woman who at first doesn’t realize her full potential and worth but the moment she catches her lying cheating ex fiancé in the copy room her whole perspective changes. Her lifelong bestie, Owen, calls on her at the most convenient moment with his massive crisis and Gemma just leaps to the rescue.
Owen and Gemma May be best friends but they have each loved each other more than just being mere friends but neither ever acted on their feelings. Nothing like a family crisis to give you the kick in the behind needed to let those feelings be released.
I really enjoyed this book! The sexy moments and the moments that bring tears to your eyes!! Perfect 5 star reads!
This was a story about two best friends that have always been there for each other. On one of the worst days of Gemma’s life, Owen calls and tells her that he needs help with his sister’s children. Putting aside her own problem she goes above and beyond for him and his family. While this is a love story, it’s also about family. I really enjoyed this book!
Thank you for the privilege of reading this book!
I liked Gemma and Owen’s book. In some was this book delivered more than I expected but in some ways it came up short. Gemma and Owen were both likable, shared a rich history, had great chemistry and I 100% believed the were meant to be. Still I would have loved to see more in-depth character developement and actual couple building happen for them. I felt all that got tossed to the side in favor of the secondary story that played out with Natalie, Gio and Moses. Now, don’t get me wrong this was an amazing heartbreaking, emotional, touch my heart and move me to tears a few times secondary storyline. I would not wish it away for anything because this trio stole my heart but in my opinion, they also stole the show and took away a lot of the thunder from this couple. Even with those issues I truly enjoyed this book. The engaging storyline was filled with a wonderful combination of poignancy, hope, heartache, drama, humor, steam and both romantic and familial love.
I found this book to be a very enjoyable read with the great storyline and the characters, Owen and Gemma, were very likable, believable and very engaging which kept me totally glued to my kindle until the very last page!
Yes! I loved every word of it. Oh my so sweet and oh so sexy at the same time. The characters were rich and the plot was wonderful to read. I was very invested in the story as well as the characters. I have read the first book in the series and I am looking forward to reading more books in the series. I am so glad that I stumbled on this author. Great work Christa. Until next time y’all happy reading.
Yet another great read by Christa Wick. Since childhood, Owen has always been Gemma’s protector and Gemma has always had a soft spot for Owen. As adults their friendship has always been strong until one day they have to pretend to be engaged and in love. Not a difficult feat considering they are both secretly in love with each other. Pretending turns out to be reality and the two along with their extended family find their happily ever after.
An amazing read about two best friends since middle school, Owen and Gemma, who have avoided their true feelings for each other for many, many many years. When Owen calls Gemma for help, she doesn’t hesitate and he needs help in the biggest way, which leads to her telling a lie…they are engaged. She is engaged, or was, and it’s the same day Owen needs her. Now the two have three children to look after and convince a social worker that the kids are better off with them….does the lie hold some truth.
I LOVED this read and Owen and Gemma were perfect, two best friends who love each other more than just friendship and finally…finally…admit it. I LOVED how open and honest they were with each other, no holds barred, no lying or jealousies breaking them apart. I also liked that even though Gemma had some self doubt because of her physique, she still didn’t hold back and didn’t let it get in the way of the relationship with doubts that would tear them apart. Only thing missing for me was Owen’s POV, I would have loved to have known his thought. But even with that, I still couldn’t give it less than 5 stars, there’s steam, there’s love, there’s a bit of suspense, some tears and some heartbreaking scenes which leads to a perfect friends to lovers romance.

This was the best friends to lovers romance! Owen and Gemma have always been there for each other. When Owen calls Gemma goes to help him. They’ve been in love with each other for years, but never acted on it. Life altering events throw them together and they have to work together for Owen’s niece and nephews.
This story takes you on an emotional journey of two people joining together to make a home for three children. I fell in love with Natalie, Geo and baby Moses! Curvy Seduction is a great hot and sexy friends to lovers romance that I loved! It had the best ending!
Five amazing stars!!
Not your usual best-friends-to-lovers story, this one takes us on an intensely emotional journey that includes Owen’s niece and nephews as he and Gemma join forces to build a family together after these children were abandoned by their mother, Owen’s drug-addict sister.
Oh, my heart just swelled with love for these children! And Owen and Gemma finally get the jump-start they need to ignore the risks and just admit their feelings for each other. So sweet, so wonderfully perfectly written.
The crisis in the second part of the book was deftly handled and had me on the edge of my seat. I read this entire book in one evening – I simply couldn’t put it down! And such a beautiful set of epilogues wrapped up their heartwarming story.
I’ve read quite a few of this author’s books lately, and this one is – hands down – my absolute favorite. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
