5 out of 5 stars
Chock-full of sexy, sweet, and swoony GOODNESS!
“Let me just kiss you for a while.” Once Upon a Sure Thing by Lauren Blakely is chock-full of sexy, sweet, and swoony GOODNESS! Miller and Ally are two people you will want to root for instantly. Their chemistry and their banter in their friendship felt easy and light, but everything changes when they start singing together. Emotions and bonds grow, vulnerabilities are shared, the line they thought they drew a long time ago…shattered. Six years is a long time staying in the “friend-zone”. The chemistry is there. The admiration is there…the respect…their hearts are even in the game. It’s their head, their mind that’s getting in the way of their happily ever after. They might have entered into a temporary arrangement, but neither of them are paying attention to the clock when the music is between them. If you’ve read my reviews in the past, you know that I think Lauren Blakely is an absolute powerhouse in the romance genre. Ally and Miller’s beautiful love story proves that to be correct. She brings us page after page, chapter after chapter of love, laughter, sex, and romance. It’s the perfect combination and the perfect recipe for a bestselling romance read. If you haven’t experienced your happy place in a while, GRAB THIS BOOK…or grab anything by this author because she will take you there with such ease, you won’t even remember a time when weren’t on cloud nine reading this woman’s words…getting absolutely lost in her beautiful storytelling. *ARC provided by the author*

    5.0 out of 5 stars Seriously in love with this book!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2018

    I loved this book from start to finish. Once Upon A Sure Thing is a very sweet friends to loversromance. And so freaking hot. I simply couldn’t put it down. The story flows effortlessly, it sucks you right in.

    Ally is an audiobook narrator who is fairly successful, and a singer sensation in You Tube thanks to the videos where she sings with her brother. She has been her niece Chloe’s legal guardian since her sister died six years ago. Her immediate goal is to provide for Chloe, so she needs to find a way to earn more money.

    Miller is Ally’s best friend and has been for the past six years. He is single and has enough money he doesn’t need to work. He is a good guy. And hot. His only problem? He is bored. He needs to find something to do he is passionate about, so he decides to follow hos brother Campbell’s advice and start a new band. But this time, he wants to sing with a woman.

    After they start singing together they discover their chemistry is off the charts, and find themselves unable to resist the attraction they feel for each other. They begin a friends with benefits arrangement, that soon becomes too intense and could risk their friendship. They will need to decide what is it they want, and if they are willing to risk everything to get it.

    Well, this very well may be one of Lauren Blakely‘s best romantic comedies of all time, and that is saying a lot because all her books are awesome. I loved this book so, so much. It’s sexy, so freaking hot, intense, funny, sweet, so... everything. It is perfect. I loved both Ally and Miller, their banter, their dirty talk, their personalities. I would totally recommend this book to anyone. It is so worth it.

    OMG the audiobook is incredible. Andi Arndt and Sebastian York have an amazing chemistry together, it is just so damn good. It is sexy, intense and hot. I loved that Erin Mallon made an appearance as Macy when she was texting with Ally. I’m in love with this audiobook. Totally worth it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Difficult to put down "friends-to-lovers" story
    Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    ONCE UPON A SURE THING, the second book in Lauren Blakely's Heartbreakers series, is as good as its predecessor, ONCE UPON A REAL GOOD TIME.

    I loved the hero, Miller, who has been a "big brother" (through the Big Brothers, Big Sisters program) to Jackson for ten years, establishing himself early on as one of the good guys I adore. But the author doesn't just tell you, she shows you his relationship with his "little brother" in loving detail throughout the book.

    I also loved the heroine, Ally, who not only is the hero's best friend but who has become a mom to her orphaned niece, Chloe. Making Chloe feel secure and loved is Ally's number one priority in life.

    This "friends-to-lovers" trope is beautifully handled by Ms. Blakely, and you can't help but root for Miller and Ally to reach their believable HEA. This book is sweet, funny, emotional, and (lest we forget) hot. In ONCE UPON A SURE THING, Ms. Blakely has crafted a story that is difficult to put down.

    5.0 out of 5 stars 5 STARS! Addictively charming!
    Reviewed in the United States on September 24, 2018

    I love a good friends-to-lovers romance, and Lauren Blakely gave readers a truly fantastic one in Once Upon A Sure Thing. I stated in my review of Once Upon A Good Time, the first book in The Heartbreakers series, that this series was poised to become my favorite from her, and she definitely took a giant step in that direction with this book. This series is everything I hope for when I reach for a romantic comedy. These stories are light and fun and so sexy, and Blakely works her magic by blending heat and humor into three-hundred pages of banter-filled, book-based reading bliss.

    In Once Upon A Sure Thing, the second Heartbreaker brother, Miller, and his long-time best friend, Ally, are up in a sweet and romantic best-friends-to-lovers romance. These two characters endeared themselves to me from the start, and I enjoyed every minute of their story so much. They already had loads of natural chemistry and an obviously deep connection as friends, but it was all sparks and fire when they stepped outside of the friend-zone into a mutually—ahem—beneficial scenario. Six years of suppressed desire, six years of denied emotion, six years of unacknowledged lust bubbled to the surface in a sexy eruption when Ally and Miller took another first in their relationship and started singing together. Their charismatic performances were positively electric, and it wasn’t long before they were heating up the studio—and burning up the sheets. Blakely takes readers along for the ride as Ally and Miller navigate these new feelings and figure things out.

    Once Upon A Sure Thing was a feel-good, heart-fluttering, fanning-my-face story that left me happy and smiling when I finished reading it. An addictively charming love story between two people who were clearly meant to be, Once Upon A Sure Thing was a playful and passionate story that I simply could not put down. Blakely did the impossible and left me sated by this story yet hungry for the next one. Five smooches from me for Once Upon A Sure Thing by Lauren Blakely!

    Miller and Ally have been best friends almost instantly from the time the met 6 years ago, and wasnt until he wanted someone to sing with have their hidden feelings started to get unlocked.

    These two seem like only best friends, but they spend time with each others family, spend time together, he has a close relationship with her niece she is raising.

    They sing well together and it could be big, but what if there's more...

    I really have been enjoying this series about brothers and about kids and family and music. I loved the best friends to lovers story and am glad they didn't take too much time to figure out their feelings.

    Cannot wait for Roxy and Miles and the heartbreakers.

    Wahrscheinlich weil es wenig Drama gibt. Klar ist die Storyline bekannt, aber sie ist gut erzählt und richtig süß. Ohne unnötige Twists. Was eine gute Sache ist. Sie sind beste Freunde seit sechs Jahren und sie verhalten sich auch so.

    This is one of those books that hooks you from page one. And what's not to like?! Miller is a former rockstar who still has music in his blood, Ally is his sassy and confident best friend who also enjoys singing.

    When Miller decides to change things up and start a duet with a female singer, Ally knows she has to audition. Trouble is, they've sung together before and her 'clean choir girl' soprano doesn't match his voice. What Miller doesn't know is that Ally has been taking voice coaching to bring out her huskier, grittier side. She sends in the audition tape under a false name, and Miller is blown away. He invites her to a studio session to see how they work together and he is stunned, amazed and a little turned on when he recognises her under the disguise she's set up. But their chemistry on the stage soon translates into more off the stage, and now they're both worried it's one sided and that they'll lose their best friend for good.

    I loved their story, and the part that Chloe played as well. It was great getting to know Miller when we only saw a little of him in the first book. Ally is an amazing female lead and I couldn't help but love her too.

    This book could be read as a stand alone, but was all the better for me having read the first and having that background.

    Highly recommend this contemporary romance series, and can't wait for the next book to come out!
