Lips Close to Mine (Wherever You Go #2)

Robin Bielman is one of my favorite authors and this story simply cements her spot at the top of my must-buy list! Lips Close to Mine is Levi and Harper’s story, for those of you keeping up with the Wherever You Go series, but it can easily be read as a standalone so don’t hesitate to dive into the series here. Neither Harper nor Levi is looking for long-term. They’re two commitment-phobes, (they’ve both got their reasons), who hook up for a one-night stand that rocks their worlds, and then discover a whole bunch of crossing orbits prevent them from moving on with a high-five and a ‘See you around.’ Her best friend is dating his roommate. Their families know each other. They’re both hired for different aspects of the same professional project. Their fate is sealed almost from the start, but it is pure fun—and just the right amount of heartbreaking—watching them fight against the inevitable! And the way the story plays out doesn’t feel inevitable at all. It feels like pure magic the likes of which only Ms. Bielman can weave! Just like in book one of this series, Talk British to Me, fun secondary characters abound. I will follow the series wherever it leads, but I’m anxiously awaiting Madison and Elliot’s story next!

Where do I start, lol I know how about with the first time we are introduced to these two. Levi and Harper are in the first book Talk British to Me; however we don’t realize they know each other until almost the end. It is a WOW moment and I for one was thrilled to read their story. Robin set this one up perfectly! Levi and Harper have a past and future connection that is perfectly written into this story. Harper has suffered a tragedy no one should and it has molded her life into what she feels is safe and what ‘must be’. She will even fight anyone who tries to screw it up, including her own heart. Levi, hmm, what to say what to say. How about WOW, he is the full package. He is sweet, attentive, romantic, and loyal to a fault. However he too has a past hurt that is forcing him to see only what he wants on the surface. What does he want you ask, Harper in his bed, not his heart, Not his life, just between the sheets. It is fun to read about these two because they are so clueless to what is happening and what could be an epic romance they try to put in a box. The banter, the play, the chemistry, all is written to PERFECTION. I had a hard time at work because I didn’t want to put it down after my breaks were over. So grab this awesome book NOW curl up and start reading in your favorite spot.

4.5 stars Another enjoyable and entertaining story in the Wherever You Go series! I couldn’t get enough of this childhood friends to lovers story between Levi and Harper. One night between these two was never going to be enough. Harper just needed to work through issues from her past in order to be able to see a future with Levi, who was just the perfect guy for her. Love the little notes he wrote to her, even though he never sent them. They just made me smile, even though they both did dumb things at times. Definitely recommend this author and series!

I started Lips Close to Mine thinking I’d dive into a few chapters then pick it up later. Boy, was I wrong.!I pressed play on the day and threw the kids pieces of toast. Harper and Levi had a one night stand, and now Harper wants nothing to do with him, but Levi has different ideas. Constantly together because their best friends are dating, they are forced to confront their true feelings, pasts and if they are brave enough for a future together. Ms. Beilman writes with humor, snark, and emotion that had me laughing aloud and wiping tears. I highly recommend this story. It has it ALL.

This was my first book by this author but it wont be my last. I FEEL a Robin B binge weekend coming on!
