Natalie
The guy I’ve been in love with since I was a little girl is officially shacking up in my spare bedroom.
Pretty sure I’m breaking every rule in the book by having him sleep under my roof, but it doesn’t matter anymore.
Not when I’ve already let go of my silly crush to pursue other dreams that don’t involve sexy guys.
Especially when said sexy roommate has only ever seen me as his little sister’s shadow.
No, it’s time to let him go and move on.
I just hope I can.

I adore Natalie and Marcus. Their witty banter, the way Marcus takes care of Natalie, all of the secondary characters…GAH! This book was full of sweet moments, a big of angst and a whole lotta love! I highly recommend this book!
If you’re looking for a slow burn that will have you falling in love with love, Kelsie Rae creates the perfect story for you!
The “Signature Sweethearts” series is one of my go-to reads when I just want to escape in a good happily ever romance. Even if there are times I worry about how it could possibly all turn out in the end, the journey is definitely worth the ride!
This was such a perfect love story. I could not stop reading it. I love this couple and everything they went through to get their happy-ever-after. I voluntarily read and review this book in exchange for a free copy.
I thoroughly enjoyed Marcus and Natalie’s story! It’s well written with amazing characters. I love Marcus and Natalie! They are so perfect for each other and just a great couple. This is a sweet story that is also sexy. I just loved how this story and their relationship developed. What a great ending as well.
This is the 2nd book I’ve read written Kelsie Rae; she has done a great job at writing a good book; I will definitely be reading more of her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.
I loved the chemistry between the characters.

Being infatuated with your kid sister’s best friend isn’t the best place to be according to Marcus anyway. He finally made the decision to be closer to his pregnant with twins sister and was a bit anxious to see Natalie again.
This sweet contemporary romance between Marcus and Natalie wasn’t a forbidden romance especially since his sister Sophie was all for the relationship.
Marcus and his boneheaded actions were the limiting factor in this sweet romance. Natalie’s life long love for Marcus had taken a beating with his numerous hookups and player personality, but overhearing him in a conversation with his buddies that “she was just not his type” has his sister washing her hands of the whole situation.
It took his realization that Natalie was hurt because of his flippant words to snap him out of his fog and try to make amends.
Nice flashbacks that enhanced the storyline without interrupting the flow.

This story sucked me in from the first page. I have so been looking forward to this story from Kelsie. She gives you sweet and sexy and makes you fall in love with bossy, protective best of intentions Marcus. He definitely made me swoon and want to have his babies. Natalie has been put through the ringer and you will adore watching her chase her dreams, while she will also test your patience as she doubts her forever. You will want to read this book for the “main dish” alone. The tender and frustrating moments between Natalie and Marcus keep you rooting for them from beginning to end. You will wish your best friend had an older brother like Marcus who will surprise and excite you. Kelsie, this book gives me all the feels and makes me want to fall in love all over again.
Marcus is an amazing book! We have been waiting for his story for a while now and it’s finally here!
The build up of this relationship between Marcus and Natalie, as they’ve been dancing around and ignoring each other, is years in the making and what a dance it was.
They are wonderful together and everyone knew they were perfect for one another except them (darn stubborn people).
Kelsie is a one click author for me in both the ebook and the paperback variety. I have them all. She writes amazing stories that are sweet and steamy without going overboard.
Again we see our returning favorites from past books and I love that! I’ll say it forever!
This was a cute love story about Marcus and Natalie, who have both had feelings for each other for years, yet neither of them know how the other feels. When Natalie’s best friend/Marcus’s little sister is pregnant with twins, Marcus decides to move closer to help her out and watch over her. When he and Natalie become roommates, hiding their feelings becomes way harder. And when they finally act on them, Natalie’s future plans may tear them apart.
I love the fact that Natalie gets her HEA in this story. And I don’t mean just with the guy. She steps out and does what makes her happy. I love that. I love that Marcus is a protector. He’s a little alpha when it comes to those he loves…and a lot of sweet. It’s fun watching these two admit their feelings for each other. And I always love the little cameos in the book. You’ll never know who will visit next!
They are like two Magnets falling for each other ! Elizabeth @ Carolina Chic’s Read
Marcus & Natalie have known each other since they were children. So for them to have feelings for each other is easily done for them, they both want each other immensely and are drawn to each other like magnets. When they are pushed to each other at a friends wedding they both act on those feeling and Natalie has to decide if she wants forever with this man that has put his heart on the line for her. I have loved each one of these stories more than the last. Kelsie Rae has made me fall for all of these characters
I have read all of Ms. Rae’s Signature Sweethearts series and fell in love with Marcus when he first appeared in her book, Jude. I have waited since then to get Marcus and Natalie’s story and I can say the wait was worth it! I absolutely loved this book and can honestly say it is my favorite to date!
A little too much on the sweet side. The story is quiet basic. Characters are ok but again quiet basic.

Lordddd i have never wanted to kick a male character so hard hahaa. This boy was so stubborn, i was so happy to finally see him getting his head out of his ass. Lol. This was a fun, short read and i loved Natalie. She was grew and i glad she did what she needed to do for herself. Seeing everyone was the icing on the cake
Marcus is an all around good guy who has loved his sister’s best friend for years but she doesn’t have a clue about his feelings.
Natalie has loved Marcus too unaware of his feelings she has decided to move on, but one small problem. Marcus is moving to be closer to his sister for the arrival of her twins. And it seems she is gaining a roommate Marcus.
And the best part Sophie is okay with her brother and Natalie being together
I loved both characters especially Marcus a true book Boyfriend there is no drama, no other woman or man which I loved.

Marcus is a story about learning to stand on your own, going after your dreams, letting your heart lead, and letting yourself love. Kelsie Rae never fails to bring the sweetness, the laughter, the grins, even the ache in the chest!
Natalie…I wanted wrap her in a hug even as I wanted to shake some sense into her. Then again, I was also proud of her for going after her dreams. I wanted her to shrug off the persona she believed she carried and live the one she really was. I loved watching her bloom into the young woman she really was.
Marcus…I admit that I wanted to shake him more than hug him at first. Okay, more than at first. I wanted to tell him that he was going to lose the best thing to ever happen to him. I swear, when he finally found his balls, I stopped cussing at him. LOL. Now don’t get me wrong, I loved Marcus. That’s the way I show my affection.
Another fantastic book, Kelsie Rae!! I loved watching Marcus and Natalie give in and I loved their HEA! I don’t know how you do it, you make me fall in love with love!
Natalie is the wholesome girl next door character type who wears her heart on her sleeve.Marcus seemed to be the type to go with the flow of life. A baker and a video game player come face to face with one another in a sticky situation. Can Marcus & Natalie deal with seeing each other day in & day out as they both deny themselves there feelings for each other?I was so anxious to see how Marcus & Natalie’s story would unravel.
Marcus by Kelsie Rae is the next book in her Signature Sweethearts series, and it was everything I have come to love about this author’s writing. I have been reading her since her debut novel and will continue to one-click her books. Though each book can be read as a standalone, each is about interconnecting couples and are great reads!
Marcus and Natalie have harbored feelings for each other for a long time, but neither has ever acted on them. Now Marcus is back and living under the same roof as Natalie. Could this finally be his chance? However, Natalie has decided enough is enough. It is time for her to move on from Marcus. How will it all end?
Marcus by Kelsie Rae was such a sweet romance. It was charming, a bit angsty and had all the feels. I loved Marcus and Natalie, though it took them a long time to get it all together! This was a captivating and delightful slow burn romance.
