I picked up this book to read based entirely in the title. Not only do the heroine and I have the same name, but the name is spelled correctly. This book has a serious hero and a quirky heroine which truly is like catnip for me. Love a grumpy hero. Lindsey is never afraid to be herself and to openly state her feelings. She has no filter and that has to be my favorite part. This book took turns I truly was not expecting and I think that made it so much better. Patrick is the best friend side kick and his Harry Potter knowledge makes me smile. I can’t wait for his story. This Lindsey Loves Love so anything with those words in the title will be a win for me.

I had heard nothing but great things for Sophie Sinclair’s book, & with one of my favorite tropes this did NOT disappoint. AND there’s a playlist?! I was totally sold - there’s just something about books with food that makes me love them even more & I have been devouring books with reality tv show / competition aspects recently, just can’t get enough of them!

I will definitely be picking up her Coffee Girls series in the near future, because I loved her contemporary romance writing style!

Thank you to NetGalley + BooksGoSocial for putting this one up as a Read Now title so I can read an advance readers’ copy.

Lindsey starts this story 8 weeks before the main events when she is living in a small apartment above a battle-axe.
Lindsey is a Food Blogger and plays on her name Lindsey Love for the name of her blog. And she is getting known in the media and TV shows are…
And the show that they want her to do next involves a Producer who doesn’t want to produce for his ‘friend’ as the last show he did for him was – well let’s just say he got naked a lot in that one!
So we have anguish, dislike, anger and lots of steam in various forms.
And a nicely written book about food. Little cafes, interesting places to go to visit in Europe, and a love story in the end.

I'm sorry, I'm confused. This is apparently a romantic comedy, but it opens with a mass shooting? This is not what I signed up for. DNF.

Lindsey is a good blogger/influencer that has a substantial following. She then works to gain a contract through Food and Travel for a tv series tasting the foods Europe has to offer. Lindsey is allowed to bring her best friend Patrick along, but the pair are set up with a grumpy director who thinks it’s hilarious to put a damper on their fun.
I went into reading this novel not knowing a thing about it and I’m glad I did! It was so refreshing to have a romance read that took me by surprised with its action-packed scenes (plus, basically any novel that’s food-oriented I am HERE FOR); it made it a unique reading experience. Lindsey’s character, in my opinion, is rather similar to Zoey from The Tourist Attraction or Blaire from Kiss My Cupcake in that she is a rambling, hilarious, feisty woman in a small package. And I love an author that can take the reader and submerge them into a character’s mind, which I certainly felt Sophie accomplished. Additionally, I love that this was written as a dual narrative so we see both Lindsey and Nick’s perspective throughout the novel’s events.
I do not have anything negative to report about this novel. This is a must read!

First read from this author. Fairly quick and easy read. Nice chemistry between the leads, well written and quite funny in places. Would happily read more this author.

This is my first novel by Sophie Sinclair and it was a fun one! The novel centers around Lindsey, a food critic, and Nick, her mysterious and handsome TV producer. I'm a big food lover, so I enjoyed the premise. I found parts of the book to be a bit unrealistic with a lot going on, but it was a charming and quick overall. Great book to put a smile on your face and leave you hungry. 3.5 stars rounded up.

Thank you to Netgalley for the ARC. All opinions are my own.

Excellent read. Lots of fun, just enough drama and laughs. Nick & Lindsey had such great chemistry.

I have loved all of these author's books so I knew I'd enjoy this one too. Her books are those that instantly put a smile on your face and are so easy to read, that you find yourself finishing the book before you realize it. This book follows Lindsey, a food critic as she travels the world filming her new tv show. ⁣
⁣
Cue her hot ex-Navy SEAL producer, Nick. With instant chemistry, the two find themselves drawn to each other and then in the next moment, hating each other. This book was a lot of fun with a hint of danger thrown in.⁣

3.5 stars

Lindsey Love is an attractive and charming host of a YouTube show that reviews restaurants and small, out-of-the-way food joints. She gets the chance of a life time to take her reviews beyond social media with a TV show and visit Europe. But there's a catch, her new producer and she have a strange dynamic that makes everything a lot harder, and then they discover that they aren't just invested in the show!
Although the premise is fun, I didn't enjoy the pacing of the book. I didn't feel invested in any of the characters, and the story felt very all over the place. It didn't feel like a book, but more like a script that would need to be adapted to make anyone interested in this romance.

I am grateful to the publishers for providing a copy of the book via NetGalley.

This book was not what I was expecting. I had hoped there would have been more travel. As someone who has been to all the countries where her show was going to take place I was looking forward to a romance set against the cuisine and culture of each city, but this was not that.

I liked Nick he was clearly a well thought out character but I didn’t love how he treated Lindsey throughout the book. I really struggled with Lindsey. I liked her personality and the idea of her but she is really really really bad at her job and immature to the point where it was a distraction. Like she’s supposed to be a 30 year old professional food critic but throws full blown tantrums in restaurants while filming her show… multiple times. Also, Lindsey’s food opinions honestly seemed a bit xenophobic (I think that’s the best way to put it) like she was fine eating meat as long as it was beef, pork, or chicken, but when she was given something more exotic like crickets, zebra, veal, frog, snails etc. (which in some places are considered delicacies) she would bring up animal rights and bash the food. Seriously who in the right would give this woman a Food and Travel show?

The plot was a pretty standard opposites attract bodyguard romance. I do think that this book had a few issues with pacing. It took over a 1/4 of the book to even get to Europe and then we were back home before the 75% mark. Also it really suddenly changed into wanting to be a spy thriller without any lead up (other than the prologue) which just left me confused.

I did like Patrick (their travel companion) enough to read his story if I still have Kindle Unlimited when it comes out.

Thank you to NetGalley and Sophie Sinclair for the digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Lindsey Love Loves by Sophie Sinclair is a contemporary romance between a double agent / producer and a food - travel Critic / blogger. The food blog part is what attracted me to this book. I liked how the story progresses and how we also get to see a tint of mystery and detective investigation involved in the story.

Lindsey Love’s career as a food critic is suddenly taking off when she’s approached by Food and Travel to take her show to Europe. What could be more fun than to travel with her best friend Patrick, eat amazing food, and see the sights? What she doesn’t bargain for is the surly, egotistical producer with the icy glare, dimples, and a penchant for questioning her every move.

Nick Elliot, ex-Navy SEAL turned producer, finds himself suddenly thrown into a project he doesn’t want to take on. Producing a snotty food critic’s show over in Europe is not at the top of his agenda. She’s stubborn, sassy, and he finds himself inextricably drawn to her. This book is a perfect blend of romance, humor, angst and a tint of friendship with mystery. The book just flew by while reading.

I am all in for an enemies-to-lovers romance and this was done right. We see right amount of angst between the two characters in the start along with smooth chemistry building and then sizzling chemistry at the end. We also get to see the friendship aspects between Lindsey Love and Patrick very well done in this book. This was a book where I liked all the characters equally - Lindsey, Nick, Patrick.

Thank You to NetGalley and PUblisher for sending me an eARC in exchange for a honest opinion.

This is the third book I've read by Sophie Sinclair, and I've enjoyed each more than the last. Most romances that try to do comedy end up pretty dopey or unrealistic, but there were actually some laugh out loud moments here. I was a fan of the angry elderly neighbor, Mrs. Bixby, and I hope she gets her own book in the series. And the romance was pretty hot as well. I don't always go for the whole retired Navy SEAL trope, but Nick is a more complex and interesting character. Lindsey was a little annoying at times with how irresponsible she could be, but it drove the plot forward.

The only thing that was not well done was the Russians. A person named Claudine is supposed to be Russian? And she answers questions with "Da," but then goes on to more complex sentences in English? And she's somehow in the KGB that has not existed since 1991?

I look forward to the next book from Ms. Sinclair!

Thanks to the publishers and NetGalley for a digital ARC for the purpose of an unbiased review.

Lindsey Love Loves is a funny, steamy enemies to lovers romance, with some unexpected twists and turns.

Lindsey is a food critic whose social media influence has gained her an opportunity to turn her blog into a show and Nick is the grumpy, ex-Navy Seal who has been assigned as the show’s producer, which he’s not thrilled about.

I loved the banter and the sexual tension between these two characters. She’s stubborn and sassy and he’s gruff, but sweet. There are some really funny moments, really steamy moments, and some moments you really won’t be expecting.

This was the first book I’ve read from Sophie Sinclair and I plan on reading more from her.

Thank you to Ms. Sinclair for an e-ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Soo funny! The characters are supposed to be in the 30s but truly act years younger. Lindsey is a blogger but has no filter. She says and does the craziest things. Patrick is still stuck in Harry Potter word and Nick was a walking secret. Together there is an odd chemistry. Nothing about the book seemed remotely believable but thanks for the laughs! What a nice escape read.

Lindsey Love is a food critic who gets a show in Europe. Her good friend Patrick joins her to film it along with producer Nick. There is instant chemistry & great banter with Lindsey & Nick. After driving each other crazy they finally give into the attraction. Many things happen & a few surprises along the trip occur (don’t want to spoil it).
Great, fun read! Love Sophie Sinclair’s books.

I adored this. I couldn't stop reading, completely devoured it and had such a laugh. Really well written.

This was such a fun book! I loved that it blurred genres and followed its own rules. Great chemistry between the main characters and a likable heroine had me devouring the book in one sitting.

Lindsey Love has made a name for herself as a fun food critic to watch. She has done such a great job in her Youtube videos and social media platforms that she is recruited by a network to have her own series. It sounds too good to be true. Lindsey even successfully insists on having her best friend, Patrick, as her camera man. It couldn't be better... until she meets her producer, Nick Elliot. Sparks fly between the two as they embark on an enemies to lovers romance across Europe. Nick is an ex-Navy seal and seems to take pride in poking at Lindsey. And he appears to have some secrets. Exotic food, witty dialogue, funny scenes, espionage, and a romance... what more could a reader want? This was a fun, quick read, and I can't wait for more by Sophie Sinclair!

Thanks to NetGalley and Sophie Sinclair for an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book has all of my favorite things in it; traveling, food, love, and so much sexual tension! I am obsessed. Sophie Sinclair did it again! I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about this book. It got me through possibly the most stressful week of the teaching so far during this pandemic.

I seriously loved every minute of this book. Lindsey is such a lovable character (pun included). She is sweet, driven, passionate, accident-prone, talented and loves food. She has worked so hard to get where she is in the food world and won’t let a cranky producer ruin it for her. Enter Nick, the cranky mysterious producer who has no intentions of getting mixed up with Lindsey. This story quickly slips into one of my favorite tropes - enemies to lovers and as these two adventure through Europe filming her tv show with Lindsey’s best friend Patrick (he’s getting his own book right???) and they slowly grow on each other.

Don’t get me wrong this book is not predictable at all - it takes some crazy turns that I was so not ready for. I’m not going to ruin any of it for you because you need to run out and read this book. LIKE NOW!!! GO DO IT!! RIGHT NOW!

I received this book through NetGalley but I need to own this one - I will be running out to get my own copy as well cause I can already tell I will want to read this again and again.
