Our Secret Song by Emily C. Childs
3.0
If you’re looking for a clean, lighthearted, swoony romance, then this is a great place to start!
While the book started slow for me, I found myself immediately drawn to MMC Bridger Cole’s softhearted, rockstar persona. As FMC Alexis’s brother’s best friend and her sworn enemy, he steps in to protect her after her heart has been crushed and she’s been left abandoned. I was hooked from the moment he accepted Parker’s phone call and met the challenge of rescuing Alexis with snark (and joy).
Mixing the enemies to lovers trope with a side of fake-dating and forced proximity, these two join forces and the story takes off. About 1/3 of the way through, the banter and flirting pick up and I found myself fully wrapped up in the story. While it wasn’t a never-been-done before story, the story was sexy and entertaining in a wholesome way that hinted at spice but doesn’t become explicit.
While I didn’t love Alexis and her character in the beginning (she came across as childish to me), her character grew on me and I ended up rooting for these two together about halfway through. The ending left me satisfied and I’ll definitely check out the other books in the series.
A solid three stars for me!
