It Had To Be You is my first book to author Melissa Kate. From the moment I read the blurb on NetGalley, I knew I had to read this book because who wouldn't want to read a frenmies to lovers story.

Emma and Oliver used to be best friends who spent most of their time together, but one day Oliver cut Emma off of his life without an explanation and that was the beginning of their cold war.

When her loser of an ex boyfriend came back to town with his soon to be wife and asked her to make their wedding cake and attend the ceremony, Emma felt trapped because who would in her pathetic single life attend the wedding of her ex.

Wasn't the cake enough?!

Oliver and Emma were no longer on good terms. Since the day he learned the secret that destroyed her family, he felt that he wasn't worthy of her friendship, but seeing her asshole ex-boyfriend cornering her wasn't something he could tolerate.

Stepping in front of tge ex couple and claiming to be Emma's devoted boyfriend, was his way at saving the damsel in distress though that could put his balls in real danger.

The fake relationship was supposed to teach Emma's ex boyfriend a lesson, but it made both Emma and Oliver question their feelings for each other.

“He devoured her mouth with tenderness and care, yet Emma felt thoroughly wrecked...
“We don’t have an audience to witness this,” she breathed.
Oliver twirled a finger around a lock of her golden hair. “No, Goldilocks,” his voice sounded hoarse. “This one was all for me.”


It Had To Be You is both funny and light-hearted. It's a story that would leave you with a goofy smile and serious heart palpitations.
