Tease (Cloverleigh Farms Next Generation)

Product Information

Childhood best friends meets small-town romance, and the result was this heartwarming feeling in my chest. rip your clothes off? Yeah. I’m just gonna take a seat right here and watch it unfold 👀 and don’t get me started on the “thank you” drop the towel scene 😉 Fake dating is my religion. I eat it up with no questions asked! So when this book was announced by the one and only queen of spicy small town romance, my excitement was naturally off the charts.

Felicity and Hutton have been best friends since met in middle school! They remained best friends all through high school and harbored crushes on each other... However, they were too awkward and cherished their friendship too much to make a move on the other. They still kept in touch after graduating, but one day, at their high school reunion, Felicity's mouth gets her in trouble when she shares that she's engaged to Hutton, her best friend, the sexy billionaire. She asks Hutton to go to the reunion to be her fake fiancee and he drops everything to go to her. They decide to fake their engagement for a bit longer and practice kissing because it makes sense, right? what happens when their pretend engagement doesn't seem so pretend anymore...Eventually, Gianni pulls his head out of his ass regarding the baby vs his career and they ride each other into the sunset. Happy ending all around But just when I think I’ve got Gianni Lupo all figured out, he gives me a taste of the man he could be, of the family we could become, of the way he could love me if I let him. Let me say this, I LOVED HUTTON. I loved his sweet but sexy vibe. I love that all he wanted to do was make Felicity happy. And I LOVED when he needed control (HELLO SPICY SCENE). He was a pleasant surprise. The nice guy that can be dirty when he needs to be. One of the cutest things is when Gianni lies to Ellie about their car not being able to start which meant they had to stay another night 🤪 Gianni did this because he secretly loved spending time with Ellie and didn’t want their getaway to end. This, in turn, causes them to have sex despite Ellie blatantly refusing to have anymore with him 🥰

mainly bcos, in my opinion, you could feel their growth. the couple they were in the epilogue and the final few chapters was so different from who they were in the beginning, and i loved it! you go on a journey with them, a realistic one that i can’t quite articulate bcos it was executed so well. it was subtle and gradual, and you don’t realise how much they changed until the ending.

I attended Miami Ohio and earned a degree in American Studies. Not very useful, but I loved every moment of it, and I know my studies taught me how to read deeper into any kind of story–whether it was the story of a person, a place, or a historical event. I credit my high school English teacher Ms. Cook and some of my professors at Miami with teaching me how to write in my own voice and trust it, especially Elliott Gorn. Want to start with my NEW small town series, Cherry Tree Harbor? Book one is Runaway Love and book two is Hideaway Heart! Cherry Tree Harbor Series: Runaway Love, Hideaway Heart Childhood best friends meets small-town romance, and the result absolutely kills me. This is the perfect storm for me. I needed this story this weekend, and I don’t think I even know why. Tease (Cloverleigh Farms, #8) by Melanie Harlow is a sexy, small town, billionaire, fake relationship, friends to lovers romance about family, friendship, beautiful connections and second chances. I loved this book and this next generation in the Cloverleigh Farms series! I can’t wait for more! <333

I couldn't help myself. There was just something so irresistible about getting under her skin-I was a kid in a candy store around Ellie Fournier. We practice kissing. Undressing each other. Saying things–and doing things–we’d never dare if we weren’t pretending. Because it’s all for show, right? We’re just role-playing. Hutton doesn’t want a real relationship, and I don’t want to get hurt. But the more time we spend faking it, the more I start to wonder. This book starts with a Nora Ephron quote from When Harry Met Sally. Suffice to say, that instantly got my attention. It was one of my favorite movies growing up. It's supposed to prove that men and women can't be friends, but to me it was always about friendship needing to be an essential part of any relationship. Even when the people involved don't realize they're actually friends. Case in point, Gianni and Ellie. Fake dating is my addiction, and Melanie delivered. This story follows Felicity and Hutton. Felicity heads to her high school reunion, runs in to her old bully and blurts out that she is engaged to a billionaire. The only billionaire she knows is Hutton, her best friend since they were kids, who just happens to have extreme social anxiety. But Hutton would do anything for her, so he gets in his car and plays fake fiancé.If I’m never going to have this chance again, I’m not about to fumble around in the dark. I’m going to see every inch of your body so I can live on this memory forever." Saben que disfruto mucho los libros de Melanie se me hacen frescos, relajados, sin tanto drama y después de tanto dark romance, necesitaba algo más soft, pink con un toque de spice y este libro es perfecto. The whole book didn’t really seem to have a proper structure. All of a sudden this happened. Both Hutton and Felicity just seemed really flat too. There wasn’t much of a personality. The fact that they were grown adults they seemed more like teenagers to me. They were also really awkward an nerdy… I don’t mind when one character has those qualities, but with both it’s not for me. i loved cheeky, charming Gianni from the beginning. but also loved the sexy mature man he blossomed into. his love declaration will have me in a chokehold for the next few months, for real.
