I Think I Love You
An Oxford Novel
by Lauren Layne
A game of seduction between two best friends goes deliciously wrong in an irresistible Oxford Novel that brims with wit and sexual tension. Library Journal hails Layne’s work as “exemplary contemporary romance.”
Brit Robbins knows that dating in New York City is hard—she just hoped to have it mastered by age thirty. But after yet another promising suitor says they have no sparks, Brit decides it’s time to torch her dating game and try a new plan. And who better to coach Brit through the art of seduction than the guy who first gave her the “let’s be friends” card?
Hunter Cross has always figured there’s nothing his best friend Brit can do to surprise him. But Brit’s request is a surprise he doesn’t see coming—and one he’s definitely not prepared for. Hunter and Brit have always been careful to keep things perfectly platonic, but the fake dates and faux flirting are starting to feel like the real deal. And soon Hunter realizes he has taught Brit too well. Not only has she become an expert at seduction, the man becoming thoroughly seduced is him.

Momma Says: 3.5 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐
I Think I Love You is an entertaining friends to lovers romance. It is part of a series, but works perfectly as a standalone. Hunter and Brit are good together - not great, but good enough that I could buy in to the romance. The story does have plenty of fun banter, which I always appreciate and I liked the approach to the romance with Brit asking Hunter for help in her dating life. The story is predictable, progressively moving from friends to physical attraction and then something more, with the bit of drama thrown in to keep things moving, but it is still entertaining and lighthearted, making it great for a low angst weekend read. The biggest drawback for me lay in the best friends aspect of the plot. Casual friends, I could see, but these two knew surprisingly little about each other to be best friends. The fact that Hunter has always seen his New York life as temporary and plans to move back to his home town seems like something a best friend would know, yet Brit is completely blindsided. It just didn't ring true for me. That aside, the story is a fun read and even though I haven't read the other books in the series, I didn't have any problem following the story, including the appearances of what I assume are past couples in the series.
