Love Never Happens on Valentine's Day by Francesca Spencer: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 



The Book

I’ve made it my mission to find my single friend a suitable man.

So, when a handsome Texan walks into the hotel where she works, I’m convinced that they are made for each other - like candy and red roses on Valentine’s Day.

Luke Maddox stands tall in his Stetson, blue jeans, and cowboy boots.

I blush when he enters the lobby. And when he calls me ma’am, I fumble my dahlias. Sa-woon.

But it’s Sheena who wants a boyfriend, not me. So, I set about getting them together.

Sometimes love needs a little nudge.

Then, things get complicated when Luke’s interfering niece makes dating arrangements for him too.

Except that she is matching Luke with me.

When disaster hits, all my plans disintegrate like sugar-frosting in the rain.

Disappointment sours any chance of sweet romance, and I look like the bad guy.

Maybe it’s too late for me to turn things around and make amends.

On Valentine’s Day, it seems, no one will get a happy-ever-after.

Love Never Happens on Valentine’s Day is the latest hilarious, dual POV romcom, from award-winning author, Francesca Spencer, with smoochy kisses (only), loads of laughs, sizzling chemistry, and a choke-back-a-sob HEA.

If you love clean sweet heartwarming romcom that makes you want to rush through to a gorgeous tingly HEA, then you will love my books.

You will sigh and smile for a moment, and maybe flick back to a favorite page or paragraph, before diving into my next story.

Book Review

Love Never Happens on Valentine's Day is the second book in the Love Never Happens series but can absolutely be enjoyed as a standalone as well. 

This was such a cute romance! As the story begins, Lydia is attempting to matchmake her single friend so when a Texas Cowboy, Maddox comes to town, she's determined to match them up... without their knowledge. Despite her plans, the chemistry between Lydia herself and Maddox is undeniable. Now, I know there are some people who cannot stand but honestly, I think it was done really well in this story. She thinks she's trying to set him up with someone else, he thinks she's interested herself but is confused by her mixed signals and it all just made for a really entertaining read and a great slower burn! As someone who loves seasonal reads, I do also love that it's great for a Valentine's Day read... but honestly could be enjoyed any time of the year as well.

Love Never Happens on Valentine's Day is a closed-door romance with kisses only. It does have very minimal minor swearing.
