If You Were Mine

Claire always played by rules. Never a risk-taker, she decides to do something about it. Enter Theo MacLeod. He's a drifter. A risk-taker.

Their chemistry was sizzling. Claire and Theo have reservations about each other but they learn what means to love.

Also, Melanie Harlow tackles some tough storylines but you can't help but root for the secondary characters. The battle is hard fought but she does it so well.

I think it's her best book yet, Melanie just gets better.

Lovelovelove it!!!!!!! Ahhhhh just love it. Love the cover till the last page, she nevet dissapoints me. Heartbreaking, funny, well written beautiful, sexy and addictive, can't put my kindle down. Love Theo and Claire,she's my kind of hero lolovelove her! !! Also love seeing Quin and Jaime, Jack and Margot again :-D Hope we are getting to see more of Claire and Theo in the future :-D I can not wait to read more books of her ♥

I really enjoyed this book. The relationship between the two felt real to me and the sex was hot but very loving. My major quibble with the story was his criminal past and current mode of choices. And hiring the hottie website didn't protect her from being exposed to an excon who could have been much more dangerous. And her response to Theo's shady and criminal revelations was 'well just don't do that again '. I guess I don't approve of choices that aren't more self protective.

I stumbled across Melanie Harlow's books by sheer accident, and thought why not give it a try. I am glad I did.

This wonderful story reads like a real life love story. Boy meets Girl when she needs help and saves her. Girl returns the help and saves the boy. It's like a fairy tale, and Melanie Harlow wrote it perfectly.

If you love to feel all the feels then this book is for you.

Wonderful characters, beautiful story line. I have been reading some wonderful books lately but this one was so down home and the tears kept rolling. I felt every pain that Theo lived with in his childhood and every fear he and Aaron had to conquer in their adult life. So dramatic and life changing. Claire was equally amazing on stepping out into the world to began to enjoy life. Everyday people learning to live and trust!

Go in with patience ....

Because SPOILER ALERT!

THEO leaves her and comes back three times! Each time she takes him back within seconds.

The actual story was good but all that felt so unneeded. I enjoyed them as a couple but geez. It was annoying at times.

This book was so good from beginning until end. Theo didn't do relationships. Claire was a romantic who wanted the happy ending.
I felt so bad for Theo and his brother. It made you want to go back and hug them when they were boys. Claire was so kind, sweet and trusting. She wore her heart on her sleeve and Theo could read her like a book.
He's a broken man with a past, Claire just wants to love him.
Don't hesitate to pick up this amazing book.

Theo & Clairs story was sweet, sexy and romantic. You just never know where love will find you. The past can throw you for a loop but it doesnt have to make your future a mess. I love the hidden messages in these stories. Very powerful. Also great recipe I'm trying out with my family. Cant wait to try it.

Claire and Theo make us work hard for this story. She is hiring a date for a wedding to avoid the singles table. He tries to keep himself from connecting with people except his nieces, brother and wife. He moves around a lot avoiding getting attached. This is a book about forgiveness, accepting what you cannot change and moving forward. Loved the Ending

You never realize how childhood and life experiences can affect how you feel and handle situations and people in your life. It was interesting how the author showed how people self sabotage in multiple characters...also how much easier it is to point out in someone else rather th a n yourself.

Sometimes I love choosing books based off their titles instead of reading the blurb and "If You Were Mine" definitely did not disappoint.... Melanie Harlow' s writing was so on point and flowed perfectly I felt connected from beginning to end! I absolutely loved Theo and Claire and their story!!

Love anything by Melanie Harlow. I know so many people who hates weddings because of the singles' table. Theo and Claire are so real it's impossible not to fall for their characters. The struggle of life is real in this story. ❤️

This book started off great. It was hilarious and I was overly enjoying Her books are always sexy, sweet and funny. She’s definitely one author I always look forward to. I absolutely LOVE Claire and Theo... Theo was just wonderful, I want my own.

Theo theo theo!!! This man broke me and pieced me together all in one story! Claire is probably one of the strongest and most resilient heroine I have ever read. I can't adequately put into words my love for this story. Getting to see past characters was awesome! 5 amazing stars for the wonderful Melanie!!!

Claire and Theo are wonderful. Claire is breathe of fresh air when it comes to h, she is strong and completely realistic. Theo is beautiful but broken. The scenes are hot and hard hitting right in the feels. Love this!!

I really enjoyed some parts of this book, but had a hard time fully getting into it in order to love it. I felt like parts of the story seemed rushed, and the relationship didn't feel as developed as it could have been.

Great romantic comedy with just the right amount of anguish! I loved this book! It was just what I was in the mood for. I do love Melanie Harlow books! There always funny with characters you love and route for. I highly recommend reading this book

Pretty good book. Claire has way more patience and understanding than I ever could. There would not be 3 chances! REALLY?! Good characters. Decent story line. The ending was THE best. That's why I didn't give the book 3 stars. That was totally unexpected.

I had high hopes for this story, since everyone seemed to enjoy it. However, las than half way through the book, I found myself scanning through the chapters. I wasn't really into the characters and I felt that the story was a bit of a drag and just blah.

A funny love story. Theo was the hottie for rent, loved him. Claire reminded of a few people I knew. There chemistry together started from the very beginning. Loved how the got along and disagreed with each other

This book was fantastic! The whole series was amazing and this book was the perfect ending for it. Both characters were so real even if I wanted to knock some sense into Theo. Melanie Harlow did it again! Go ahead and one-click it, believe me you won't regret it!

Easy to read and entertaining. Well written, good characters. I appreciated having both the hero and heroine's POV, especially because otherwise I would've thought he was a tool, blowing hot and cold the way he did.

I loved everything about this story. There really are many people who are afraid of commitment to someone, or to try new things in fear of failing. This story had all the required chemistry , angst and sexy times that I love.
