*Can be read as a standalone* A one-night stand that ended in tears. A destination wedding for my best friend. And an unexpected surprise that knocks me off my feet. Sophie I never wanted to see Nathan again. Ever. One highly educational night with him in bed was all it took to hand over my v-card. Apparently, that was all it took to get him to move across the country without even a backwards …
Apparently, that was all it took to get him to move across the country without even a backwards glance.
Our best friends are getting married and I’ve been asked to play nice, but I can’t promise he’ll make it through the weekend in one piece.
The only problem is that I’m not sure my heart will survive, either.
Nathan
I don’t do feelings.
I don’t do relationships.
And I sure as hell don’t do love. Ever.
One crazy hot night with Sophie was all it took to remind me why.
She gets under my skin and makes me want things I definitely don’t need.
I’m here to be the best man to her maid-of-honor at a destination wedding in paradise, but close proximity to all things Sophie just might push me over the edge.
It’s one long weekend with the woman I can’t stop dreaming about no matter how hard I try.
I can do this, right?

Another great story by Kelsie Rae! She has created another absolutely adorable, strong female lead. Sophie is sweet, sassy and can hold her own. Add in Nathan and you get to see that amazingly wonderful witty banter that Kelsie delivers do well! Sophie and Nathan’s relationship pulled me in and I was truly invested in their story. I can’t wait for the next installment in this series!
I am late to the party of this great series! This was my first book to read in this series. It can be a standalone. But there are some inside jokes I can tell I didn’t get. That just makes me want to read the previous books. I absolutely loved this story. Sophie and Nathan have a history. They shared a one night stand. Sophie fell for him. Nathan fell for her but refuses to believe it. He has a rule that he doesn’t sleep with the same woman twice. He definitely doesn’t do relationships. His parents are to thank for that. Their best friends are now getting married. They are forced to interact. They try to be friends but you can’t fool love. As they try to deny their attraction us readers fell in love with both characters. I found myself almost screaming into the book for them to be together. They belong together. Then a surprise happens and it all becomes clear to them. I will be honest, I didn’t see that event coming. This is the perfect sweet, hilarious, fun romance. As I said before, I can’t wait to read the previous books to fall more in love with all the characters in this story.

Kelsie Rae is a new author to me, and I must say I thoroughly enjoyed her book Sophia. I cried with Sophia thought her world was over, but true love can never really die. This is what I feel Kelsie Rae was trying to convey in her lovely story. I can’t truly wait to read more of these characters and see what becomes of them.
Swoooon… OMG I am in love with this book and the amazing characters. Kelsie does it again and does not disappoint!!! I loved the destination wedding, the coming around of the stubborn Nathan, and the beautiful story that brings them to their happily ever after. This series should definitely be read in order and warning this one leaves you longing for more…like Marcus & Natalie…hint hint
10Stars!!!! Quick and easy read!!!
This is the first book I have read by Kelsie Rae and it certainly won’t be the last , this may be book 5 in the Signature Sweethearts Series but I’m proof it can be read as a stand-alone because I’m playing catch i with the rest of this series. I’m guessing from the very funny witty banter that goes on throughout this book that this author has a brilliant sense of humour and it certainly comes through in her characters. This story captivated me I could not put it down, it had the perfect mix of passion and humour with just a hint of drama and if you are looking for a sweet funny easy to read love story I suggest you one click Sophie as soon as you can, all I need to do now is find the time to read the previous books in Signature Sweethearts because I’m sure if they are anything like Sophie I will love them all. Great read and I’m looking forward to reading more from this very talented author.
Kelsie Rae definitely knows how to write a sweet romance with memorable characters and interesting storylines.
Nathan and Sophie met through mutual friends and ended up having one amazing night together but Nathan does not do relationships. Sophie, however, wants her happily ever after and thought that one night meant something to Nathan. She has managed to avoid him since he made his feelings clear but their friends are getting married on a beautiful destination island and they are throw together again giving them time to rekindle their chemistry and now they have an opportunity for another chance.
Sophie
Kelsie Rae has written another amazingly beautiful love story again. Nathan and Sophie have a love story both must realize to fight for love. I felt like this is a slower moving plot line which is different from Rae’s other books. It does end but it definitely leaves you wanting more from this group of characters. Can’t wait to see Marcus’ story.
Kelsie Rae is a breath of fresh air. Her characters may be a figment of her imagination, but they speak to the human in us all. She proves that a person doesn’t have to be perfect to live their best life. With humor and heart she captivates. Sophie is the best of us at the worst of times. Through the flaws of life, Sophie and Nathan get the chance at love. Can they keep their wits on the road to losing their hearts?
Sophie and Nathan’s story is a bit different from the other Signature Sweethearts, but just as much fun, loving and full of romance as the rest. We met Sophie in Jude’s story, and Nathan in Rhett’s, and their one night stand in Rhett’s story is rehashed and dealt with in this one. We get to visit with a variety of characters from previous books at Indie and Rhett’s wedding, and many help Sophie and Nathan along their very rocky path, especially Natalie. It’s hard to talk to much about what happens without spoilers, but if you enjoy funny, loving and romantic stories with more than a touch of heat, this is for you.
Oh my goodness!! From beginning to end I was in love!! Emily is amazing!! This is my first read from this author and it definitely isn’t my last!! I am hooked for so many reasons; first being the characters because having these type of characters in a book blend together so well just made me swoon! The depths of each character you get a glimpse of is unlike any that I have read before because usually it’s just a quick understanding of what they went through but seeing Emily and actually experiencing moments of panic with her brought tears to my eyes. The dialect is different than I have read because Emily is from New Zealand and I haven’t read many stories including words from her area but I was quick to catch on because it was so easily read in the story!
I’m in love with these characters and I loved watching everyone become better friends and it broke my heart at the end to watch all the tears but these types of endings leave lasting memories. I fell hard for Austin and I’m not letting him go and I can’t wait to see what this author has in store for her next book!!! Austin went from a different type of man in my eyes to super sexy man to freaking SWOON SWOON SWOON through it all and I know he has demons he is dealing with but you could just see his soul seeking a home! Such powerful supporting characters as well with Austin’s mom Grace, she held a strong hold of my heart during this book as well as a few others!
I am so honored I got to read this book! It was a little longer than I thought it was but oh ending it before I was ready would’ve been a crime. This book was meant to be this long and I CAN NOT wait to read the next one!!! You did a fantastic job Ms. Baucke and I’m a fan now!! Congrats!!
This is the first book I’ve read by this author and absolutely loved it.
The author’s sense of humour comes shining through in all the witty banter between the main characters and their nutty friends.
I’ve gone into this series backwards starting at book 5 but it can easily be read as a standalone

F*ck is common practice.
Feelings is a swear word.
That is until one night with Sophie, for some strange unknown reason known to man, he gets the feels, but he has his rule and needs to stick to his guns and walk away.
Then he has to be part of the wedding party and all he sees is Sophie with all her witty sexy sass, but she’s a woman scorned.
