Description

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.

When things go awry abroad, Nick has to make the decision to save his own future or give up everything to protect Lindsey.

Featured Reviews

Sophie Sinclair has done it again! I was hesitant to start the LLL series after absolutely loving the Coffee Girl series, but I’m so glad I did! Thank you Sophie for an early copy of this!

Lindsey was such a lovable character & her personality was always so happy, even when grumpy Nick Elliot pushed all her buttons. Believe me when I say, if he found a button to push, he pushed it 😂

The banter between Nick and Lindsey had me cracking up throughout the whole book. They were constantly jabbing each other, allowing for some strong sexual frustration.

And that plot twist 😳 I definitely didn’t see that coming.

While Lindsey Love Loves is a little different from the beloved Coffee Girl series, you won’t want to pass this up. Sophie’s signature lovable writing is present, and I can promise you’ll fall in love with Lindsey, Nick & the secondary characters.

Lindsey Love Loves is an enemies-to-lovers rom com with a whole lot of laughs, some steam and a little unexpected suspense. Lindsey is a food blogger, who is traveling through Europe to film a show for Food and Travel with her best friend Patrick and grouchy (but hot) ex-Navy SEAL turned TV producer, Nick.

Sophie writes some of my favorite rom coms and LLL was just what I was looking for.

Highlights:
* Tension: The chemistry and tension between Nick and Lindsey was spot on from the beginning and Lindsey’s inner monologue when she was around him was so damn funny!
* Friendship: Sophie writes friendships like no other and I really enjoyed Lindsey and Patrick: so much love and support between them and, of course, plenty of jokes!
* Supporting characters: Nick’s sisters were amazing and hysterical; the scenes with them were some of the funniest. I’m all for meddling family members. Plus Lindsey’s old lady neighbor?! Priceless.

This was my first Sophie book and didn't read the bio about the romance suspense part of this book. I enjoyed the banter and back and forth with Lindsey and Nick. Also, enjoyed the mystery and their travel around Europe for it all. Another cute enemies to lovers story.

I wasn't a huge fan of the big gaps in time as I felt like the story lost its flow at the end. But overall it was a cute, fast, slow burn, HEA story. Loved his sisters and wish there was more of that level of loL.

Overall, 3.5 and 3.5 steam

Lindsey Love Loves, is the rom-com that I didn’t know I needed. LLL delivers romance, steam, friendships, food, laughs and unexpected suspense.

I loved how Lindsey was authentically herself. She’s quirky and she stands by her principles. Nick is a swoon-worthy grump with a complicated past. The two of them together have some major chemistry!

If you love a sassy heroine, a grumpy hero, delicious banter and a little bit of suspense and a whole lot of romance, this is the book for you!

I absolutely adored Sophie’s first series, Coffee Girl, and was so sad to say goodbye to those characters. But - Sophie manages to yet again make me fall in love and crack up at a whole new group of fictional friends!!

Lindsey Love Loves has all the things I want in my romcoms:
✔️Humor
✔️Food
✔️Travel
✔️Steam
✔️Hot book BF
And even some suspense!!

Enemies to lovers is my jam because that hate always turns into passionate love - Lindsey and Nick had that hate to love banter all figured out!! What I think Sophie is a real magician at is supporting characters! Patrick, grouchy Mrs. Bixby, and all the sisters were hilarious and I can’t wait for more of them in the rest of the series!!

Thank you Sophie for sending me your book in exchange for my review

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

Lindsey Love Loves by Sophie Sinclair is an eclectic novel that has a little bit of everything, romance, action adventure, and a whole lot of hilarious food. The story centers around Lindsey Love who is a food blogger who gets her big break when she is hired by a food channel to do a tour of European restaurants. So she sets off with her cameraman best friend, Patrick, and her surly ex-Navy Seal producer Nick Elliot. While abroad the group encounters a little trouble (which I leave vague so as not to spoil the plot.

The book is full of great banter between Lindsey and Nick. If I had to pick a trope I'd call this one enemies to lovers. Lindsey literally has no filter and when she is flustered just about anything will come out of her mouth which makes for amusing conversations. Patrick is also good for some funny Harry Potter based fun.

If there was something that didn't quite work for me it was Nick's older sisters. There is a whole lot of teasing and it almost crosses the line for me. I honestly felt sorry for younger Nick stuck with these four as sisters. I also felt like with the action adventure part of the book near the end we get a bit of a brain dump. It would have been nice to see some of that fleshed out a bit more in the book.

Overall though I felt like the book was a fun one and I really enjoyed the little bit of action adventure thrown in. I'd love to see a book about Patrick!

Lindsey Love Loves was an amazing enemies to lovers story, that you didn’t know you needed to read. I absolutely loved all the characters in this story, even Mrs. Bixby had me laughing. Lindsey and Elliott’s sassy banter was also hilarious and oh man I think Elliott just became my new book boyfriend because boy did he have me swooning.

What was also surprising was the amount of action this romance book had. I was not expecting it and it had me on the edge of my seat at some points. I absolutely cannot wait to read the other books in the series when they come out.

Lindsey Love Loves is a fun, flirty romance with unexpected plot twists. I was so sad to say goodbye to the Coffee Girl series but I was excited to immerse myself in another of Sophie's worlds with fantastic side characters, witty banter and relationship development. As an enemies to lovers and forced proximity romance, this book made me smile, laugh and constantly kept me on my toes. I loved the adventures they went on, the antics about the crazy next door neighbor, Mrs. Bixby and the loveable best friend Patrick. The chemistry between Lindsey and Nick was believable and I loved meeting his family and all his crazy sisters. Looking forward to more from this series and will always read a Sophie SInclair book.

This book starts off with a bang, in a way that I really didn't expect for the romcom genre. Then we scoot back in time eight weeks to see how we get there. The opening made me so curious. I found that the book flew by. I was about halfway through without even noticing time passing.

Usually, I focus on the female protagonist in reading and reviewing, but we need to talk about Nick. Wow! He is a former Navy SEAL turned reality TV producer, and he is hot. He comes across as supremely competent.

And Lindsey Love is sassy and funny. She is a food critic, who got started with a channel about what Lindsey Love Loves. She embarrasses herself (or Nick embarrasses her), and she takes it in stride.

The travel in this book was especially fun to read. I enjoyed picturing all the places and dreaming of my next trip. I won't say more about it because I am strongly anti-spoiler in my reviews.

Lindsey Love Loves is fun with a mix of romance, suspense, travel, and a pitch to protect endangered species.

In case you missed it, Lindsey Love Loves came out last week! This was my first read from Sophie Sinclair and I LOVED it! I love a great enemies to lovers books and this one had it in spades. Nick and Lindsey such good chemistry, their banter and constant back and forth jabs only added to the thickness in the air between them. Grumpy, sexy, tv producer Nick, who happens to be a former Navy SEAL is saddled with cute, flirty and fun Lindsey and the new tv show she was just handed. Not only is to be her producer, but a sort of security detail while they film her new show in Europe. While adventuring to find hole in the wall places, with the best food, fighting the constant chemistry, trouble seems to find and follow them. This book took twists and turns I didn’t see coming, which added to the experience of this being so much more than just a romcom, and I loved it for it. Sophie dropped a few hints that she modeled Nick after Henry Cavill and that mental image didn’t hurt either while reading 😉 If you’re looking for a great read this week, make sure you add this to your TBR for sure!!! Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

Love this story! Laugh out loud, relatable page-turner. Would definitely recommend to all! Even throws in some suspense.

Was this review helpful?

Lindsey Love Loves is a book that came out of left field for me! It seemed like a typical coworker romance but there were so many more layers I didn't expect. I highly recommend that you check out this book if you haven't already!

Lindsey started as an amateur food critic when she was in college and a food network has offered her the opportunity to film a show abroad. She is going to travel to Europe with her best friend (who does the filming and editing) so that they can highlight some hole-in-the-wall local eateries. The only thing that is getting in the way of her fully enjoying this adventure is Nick, her asshole producer. He is surly, bossy, and controlling but Lindsey is not going to let him ruin this project for her. Lindsey and Nick have a difficult time of reconciling their disdain for each other and the physical attraction they have for one another but it's not long before they give into that physical attraction.

There are more layers to this story that I can't reveal without spoiling the plot, but I highly recommend this book! It is the perfect mix of humor, sexual tension, sweetness, and even suspense. Lindsey is easy to love - she is goofy, sassy, and crazy and she also can hold her own. And what's not to like about Nick? He is an ex-Navy Seal who is really caring and thoughtful underneath the tough exterior. Lindsey and Nick had amazing chemistry, even when they were arguing.

There were some laugh-out-loud moments that I had to explain to my husband while reading this book because he was looking at me like I was crazy. Even the titles of the chapters had me laughing. This book would be perfect for a rom-com film adaptation. Can we make that happen???

ℝ𝕖𝕧𝕚𝕖𝕨 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lindsey Loves Love by Sophie Sinclair
☁️
This book was so good people! There was mystery and intrigue and there was a perfect balance between sweet and steamy! Lindsey was so adorable and I loved all her embarrassing moments. I loved reading Nick's point of view so much, and for this story it was such a good choice to have it be a double point of view! I did find the ghosting pretty upsetting and I wouldn't have been as forgiving as Lindsey was, but their reunion and the rescue mission was wonderfully executed! There was this one scene were Lindsey goes back to Nick's family's cabin to see him, but all his family is there and they just bombard her with questions. That scene was so chaotically wonderful, my dreams of a big family made me swoon so much!

Was this review helpful?

Sophie Sinclair's Lindsey Love Loves is a ride of a rom-com that both strained my credulity and made me laugh often. This sweet, funny novel centers on Lindsey Love, an up-and-coming YouTube food critic who finally has her big break: a deal for her own television series. The only catch? Nick Elliot, the producer she most definitely would NOT have chosen to accompany her on her food tour through Europe.

This enemies-to-lovers romance has some scenes worthy of a film adaptation (their first European stop at a restaurant that serves exotic animals, much to Lindsey's horror, would be perfect on film) and some wild twists that I won't spoil her. What makes this one fun are the characters: Lindsey is an over-the-top, exuberant, impulsive joy, and the more serious Nick is the perfect balance. This one is super steamy and so much fun.

Was this review helpful?

When I saw that Sophie Sinclair had a new book out, I was super excited. I loved her Coffee Girl series and I jumped at the chance to read more from her.

Lindsey Love Loves is a cute book about a food critic making it big with an international tour for her debut TV show on a popular food network. Her producer is a big burly ex-SEAL with major hotness and a brusque attitude that rubs her... well, all kinds of ways.

I went into this thinking it would be a cute, fluffy, funny romance, and well, it did NOT end that way. At the 60% mark, the book changed tone and storyline into something completely different than what I was expecting. Not bad, per se, but just different. Where I thought we were going to get just your typical rom-com, we got so much more. I can't say I loved the immediate twist of rom-com to an international man of mystery and secret covert ops, but I wasn't mad at it either.

The transition was just so sudden and then the dreaded long absence and sudden and maybe -inappropriate(?)- super-secret information being offered at a drop of a hat to non-super secret spec ops people... well, it felt a little off. But, again, once you suspended a little disbelief and allowed for a little artistic license, it was pretty enjoyable. = D

Overall, I enjoyed Lindsey Love Loves and would recommend it for anyone who loves cute rom-coms with a twist! I'm looking forward to the next Sophie Sinclair book!

If you're needing an escape from the dumpster-fire that is 2020, this is the book for you!

Lindsey Love is an up-and-coming food critic who has just landed a job as the host of her own tv show that will allow her to travel across Europe - she'll discover hidden food joints and sample the local food! The only issue that could put a kink in her plans is her super standoffish producer, Nick Elliot. As the two travel to some of the most romantic cities in Europe, their disdain for each other starts to soften, but when Nick's past catches up to them, their lives are put into danger.

I was such a fan of Sophie Sinclair's 'Coffee Girl' series, and I knew I had to get my hands on this series as soon as possible. Lindsey is such a fun character - she's quirky, awkward and totally lovable (pun not intended, I swear). I'm a huge fan of the enemies-to-lovers trope, and this book had the perfect amount of simmering tension and witty banter between Nick and Lindsey.

I'm already looking forward to the rest of the series!

Huge thanks to Sophie for the advanced readers copy - all of my opinions are my own!

4/5 - ⭐ ⭐⭐⭐

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.⁣

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.

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!

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.

This is my first Sophie Sinclair's book and I loved it. Lindsey is brave, unapologetic, the heroin I love to read about. I also loved the not so happy hero and the way she is just not afraid to be herself.

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.

Was this review helpful?

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!

Lindsey Loves Love by Sophie Sinclair is another 5-star winner for me! Lindsey has such a fun personality, and I love how she doesn't apologize for being 100% herself. This enemies-to-lovers book has it all, attraction, adventure, mystery, steamy moments, world travel, and of course, delicious food! I wish I could travel with Lindsey Love in real life, especially since I miss traveling so much living in this pandemic. I honestly did not want this story to end.

This book left me like that!

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.
When things go awry abroad, Nick has to make the decision to save his own future or give up everything to protect Lindsey.

This book was just what I needed, it was light, funny, sweet, easy to read and even a bit suspenseful.
Lindsey Love Loves is an enemies to lovers romance that got me hooked since page one. I loved Lindsey and Nick’s characters but Patrick was my favorite by far, I hope she makes a story about him.

Lindsey Love Loves was a cute enemies to lovers suspenseful romance! I went in expecting a fun romantic comedy and Sophie Sinclair delivered that and much more.

I loved the back and forth bickering between Nick and Lindsey. I laughed so many times at how off the wall Lindsey was, she has such an 'anything goes' personality. She was a delight! And Nick was perfect gruff tough guy. He was a fantastic 'ying' to Lindsey's 'yang', a great combo that readers love to just eat up! What I was not expecting and pleasantly surprised about was the mystery and chase that kicked in just over halfway through the book. There were a lot of twists packed in to the last few chapters and it made this book so unique.

Other things that I enjoyed were the ornery Mrs. Bixby, Lindsey's sister and her constant safe sex advice, and Patrick being the perfect third wheel all along. Can't want to read his book next year!

Thank you so much to the author who provided a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This book was so fun! While I was sad to say goodbye to The Coffee Girl series characters (#teamtatum), I was so excited to meet Lindsey Love and Nick Elliott.

This book made me chuckle so many times. I was also so dang jealous of Lindsey. Like, who doesn’t want to be a food blogger and travel the world trying new food? I’d take that job in a heartbeat as long as Hogan and Palmer could come too!

Let’s talk Nick now. He was a former Navy Seal turned television“producer.” I liked the suspenseful-ness around him. Once the thing happened in Paris, I was on the edge of my seat to find out what happened.

Now, one thing that Sophie does so damn well is the side characters. And this story was no different. I mean, who didn’t love Nick’s sisters and Lindsey’s neighbor Mrs. Bixby. I wanted more of them.

This book may make you crave chocolate cake or food in general. Stock up on supplies before reading.

LLL is the first book in a new series that kept me laughing from the first page to the last. Lindsey is one of those characters without a filter on her internal thoughts which when spoken out loud are quite hilarious and partly why Lindsey’s show as a food critic is so well loved.

Combine that with the witty banter between Lindsey and Nick and I was hooked because I’m a sucker for an enemies to lovers romance. The author played out the enemies to lovers trope in a refreshing way that really ratcheted up the sexual tension. I loved the crotchety old neighbor and hope Lindsey’s best friend Patrick finds love in this series.

This book was light and fun with a twist of suspense and just the thing to get me through a stressful week. If you enjoyed the Coffee Girl series by the same author or rom coms with steam, then give this one a look. Thank you to @sophiesinclair for an eArc. All opinions are my own.

Lindsay Love Loves by Sophie Sinclair a tasty treat of a five-star read. This is number one in the LLL series and well what can I say but bring them all on!!! I adored the Coffee Girl series, and I will be honest I wondered if the great writing and sublime characters would keep coming in this new series, and I am so happy that they have, this time it was just as sublime with an added extra layer to the story that added just a little something darker and more delicious like the most bitter, yet mouth-watering dark chocolate. That came in the form of retired ex seal Nick Elliot, who has the most amazing family, but I digress. Watching Lindsay as she falls in Love with Europe amongst other things was heart warming and funny, and at times heart wrenching in the best ways. This has been a great start to the series, and I can’t wait for more. As I sit here and write I realise I would even want to hear more about Mrs Bixby and that surprised me so much, but it just shows me how great the writing is!!

A fun rom-com with a mystery, villains, spies and some Jame Bond style action!

Lindsey, a food critic, gets to travel around Europe with a grumpy producer, Nick for her new show. The tension between starts right away and their banter will make the readers laugh hard. They are absolutely adorable and fans of enemies to lovers and forced proximity tropes will absolutely enjoy this one. I read it in one sitting and enjoyed every bit of it. Both Nick and Lindsey are so likable that I wished there was more of them. Their travel to various restaurants made me wish I was a food critic, the way each dish is described is so good! For steam lovers, you will also like this one!

Their family and friends were so good too with Patrick being such a good goofy friend and Nick’ family was absolutely hilarious. I definitely like books that make you grin like a fool when you read them.

What a funny and good story that had a little bit of everything. Lindsey Love a food critic is going to get her own show with the hopes of making it big. Along with her own camera guy and best friend Patrick they are going to be going to Europe. With them will be a former Navy Seal turned producer Nick Elliot. He and Lindsey first met at his family’s cabin in New York and let’s just say those few days are just a slight glimpse into what is in store for the trip to Europe.
Once she and the others arrive in Europe they stop in England. The first night with her getting drunk and showing her unicorn underwear is just the opening act for the next night she ends up at a restaurant that serves exotic food and she is finding it difficult to take a bite. The banter back and forth between the characters is what keeps this story moving along. You also have the frustration of Lindsay with Nick with him just being him. Like when meeting for dinner and he shows up with a blond and she grabs the man who was talking to her at the bar. Of course, that guy should not have been talking to her and it goes down all wrong. Just one of the many funny moments. All of the different characters from Mrs. Bixby to the sisters of Nick and Lindsey all add to this story and keep it flowing. The mystery part is just an added bonus. The epilog is good as well. This is a very good story.

@sophiesinclairauthor does it again!!⁣

Lindsey Love Loves was an amazing enemies to lovers story about quirky and hilarious Lindsey Love who is filming a tv series traveling Europe tasting foods in lower key restaurants, while producer Nick Elliott, who is also an ex Navy SEAL, follows her for production and as her body guard. ⁣

These two get under each other’s skin through and through. Lindsey is wildly funny and sassy, while Nick is moody and broody; but their chemistry is off the charts. ⁣

Not only do we get to travel the world, listen to funny banter, learn about endangered animals in Africa, and meet Nick’s crazy sisters and Lindsey’s curmudgeon neighbor; this story is full of action and drama, which was not what I was expecting but I loved so much! It was a fast page turner, that had me laughing, wanting to cry, on the edge of my seat, and my heart swooning by the end. ⁣

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣

A little suspense, a lot rom com. If that’s what you are looking for, this book is for you! Lindsey is funny and quirky and Nick is funny and a bit of a jerk (mostly because he’s trying to keep up his defenses). This book was funny and warm and the characters all likable. I love knowing there will be more books! Go get this one to read as soon as you can.

Food!
A grumpy/sunshine trope
Romantic Suspense elements
Fun Banter

The prologue caught me off guard - after reading her other series, I wasn’t expecting there to be a side of suspense in this one. The story has an enemies to lovers vibe going on and the author added great banter between the two characters. Sophie Sinclair is an indie author and her books are on Kindle Unlimited. Romance fans - check her books out! You won’t be disappointed.

Lindsey Love Loves is an entertaining rom-com that is full of humour, suspense, and some rather steamy moments too. Lindsey is a food blogger currently embarking on an adventure through Europe as she begins filming a show for Food and Travel. She begins this journey with her best friend Patrick, and Nick - the TV producer, who is also an EX-NAVY SEAL, and is undeniably attractive.

I love the way this story was written from the start. Sophie Sinclair's writing style is fun and engaging, really making the reader feel immersed in the story. The characters are quirky and so incredibly loveable, it is impossible to not feel connected to them. The attraction that built up between Nick and Lindsey throughout the book was perfection.

Fun, Steamy and truly enjoyable.

Lindsey Love Loves by Sophie Sinclair is a romcom/suspense hybrid that tells the story of Lindsey Love, a food critic traveling overseas to film episodes for a Food and Travel television show with her best friend Patrick and her moody, ex-Navy SEAL producer, Nick.

I loved this book! From the sparks between Lindsey and Nick and the enemies to lovers vibe of the story to the travel and the unexpected suspense, it was a really enjoyable read. I appreciated the quick pace of the story and the banter between the characters. I felt that it was hard to put this book down and there were plenty of humorous moments in the story. The side characters in this novel were also exceptionally quirky and fun, which I really enjoyed. If you're looking for a funny romance that reads quickly and has some surprising mystery thrown in, this one's for you!

I received a copy of this title from the publisher via NetGalley which did not affect the contents of my voluntary review. All opinions are honest and my own.

This was a book that took me by surprise! I expected a book about a food critic and her grumpy producer and I expected them to fall in love.
.
What I didn’t expect was a bomb, spy drama or falling in love with her best friend Patrick and his extraordinary love for all things Harry Potter. I didn’t expect to laugh so much over poor Mark aka “John from Florida” and his angry wife Rita.
.
This was a fun one and not just your typical enemies to lovers. Warning don’t read this book on an empty stomach!
.
Thank you to #NetGalley and #sophesinclair for an arc in exchange for an honest review.

Hobbitual Reader Loves Sophie Sinclair !! HEHE

Just another blockbuster by very charming and witty author. Every page, para and phrase makes me melt and want to leave my singlehood. The characters and description is as swooning as all the earlier published novels. The story line is definitely different, fresh and new from last novels. Its exciting and action-pact with ofcourse lot of lustful lines and scenes.

Lindsey a food critic now a well known Emmy award winner TV personality meets very sexy, hot and dangerous Ex-SEAL Nick Elliot. Both with all the action, guns, bombing finally complete filming a Food Show in trending States of Globe.

Fun quick read. I really liked it. Lindsey was fun and Nick was so funny to me. Even though he wasn’t written to be funny, he’s mysterious and I enjoyed being in his head. The dual pov was great. This was my first by this author and I am definitely going to read more!

I absolutely adored this story!! Lindsey is sassy, and stubborn, and full of quirks, and I was laughing out loud at her internal dialogue. She doesn’t back down, even when maybe she should, and I think that makes her one of my favorite Sophie Sinclair heroines! And Nick, hello swoony! He’s an alpha male, conceited, mysterious, but he can also be extremely sweet. The two of them together, have some hilarious banter, and some really sweet, tender moments. This is another fantastic book by Sophie, and I can’t to read Patrick Loves Love!
