3.75 starsMackenzie and Rick have an non-dating arrangement to be each other's 'date' at public functions. Although their chemistry is very palpable Mac is determined to stay away from Rick because of what she thinks he represents. She has convinced herself that Rick must be like his family and their acquaintances even though she has seen for herself that he is a down-to-earth, good man.Rick has been attracted to Mac since the moment they met and although he knows that they'll be good together he can't help but question if Mac feels the same since she always keeps him at arm's length. He likes spending time with her and now that the last of their non-dates approaches he can't help but think that he should try for me. However, Mac sets him up with her cousin and Rick get the message that Mac wants nothing to do with him.Rick and Mac's story was funny, sweet and very romantic. I loved the characters and it was a treat to get to know them throughout the story. Rick was handsome, charming and funny while Mac was both strong and vulnerable with insecurities and hesitations about how she felt about Rick.The author, Ophelia London, did a great job of developing the characters and their emotions letting the reader get a real glimpse into their personalities. Their story flowed throughout the book in a way that really let me connect to them and care about the outcome of their relationship. I liked how they related as friends, but loved how adorable and loving they were as a couple. However, what I enjoyed the most were their interactions. Full of funny, flirtatious banter their dialogue was both insightful and entertaining.Speaking of Love is an adorable friends-to-lovers story that will warm your heart. Although it is the second book in the Perfect Kisses series it can be read as a stand alone. However, as soon as you get a tiny glimpse into Tess and Jack's story you will want to read the previous book as well. I already have it on my TBR pile, since I enjoyed this book and I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.I received this title from Entangled Publishing through NetGalley in exchange of my honest opinion.
