Love Me Like You Do - Aimee Brown




I'm on the blog tour for this book today - yeah!

About the book

A runaway bride. A handsome stranger. Two pasts to put behind them.

Parker is ready to marry the man of her dreams. But he isn't ready to marry her. It would be helpful if he didn't choose their wedding day to tell her this. But as she flees from the travesty behind her, she literally runs into the arms of a handsome stranger. The southern drawl, the dreamy eyes, she can't fall for another man after being left at the altar – can she?

When Liam agreed to go to go on a date he didn't expect to leave with the bride. Nor did he expect to take her the emergency room. Immediately he's drawn to her fiery spirit, her kind heart and beautiful smile. Liam's got a whole host of problems and a past that keeps coming back, now can't be the time to fall in love, but Parker might just be the one to break down his barriers and let him live a little – if she'll let him in.

Will these two strangers allow serendipity to put them together, or will their fears keep them apart?

Review 

This is the third book by Aimee that I have read and this time we get to meet one of the previous characters again. Liam was also in The Last Dance and he proved to be such a popular character he got his own story this time. It's not necessary to have read the previous book as this is completely standalone story, it's just if you have, you already know he is one of the good guys!

The book begins with Parker fleeing from her wedding and after a near miss with a car seeing a bright light she thinks she's died and gone to heaven. I found the opening sequence to be so funny - and it sets the tone for the rest of the book. Parker certainly has some good lines although she's got some other responsibilities she has to face up to, like dealing with her Mother who is diagnosed as now having  dementia when she already has mental health issues. All of the mental health references were really sensitively written.

The one character that truly annoyed me was Becker - he who jilted Parker, and so he really did need to be cast in a bad light, and he totally is. It got so that I couldn't stand to see his name on a page knowing I would have to listen to him and his drivel. 

Many references to Parker's fave film Sleepless in Seattle (and one of mine too!) and two girls of the younger generation have all those acronyms that were popular in it. Like thinking Parker and Liam are MFEO. Are they? Well Idk, you will have to read the book to find out......

A nice amusing escapist read - what's not to like?

My thanks to Netgalley, Head of Zeus and Aimee for the ARC to review.
