If I Love
Is instant love a real thing? Upon meeting someone, can you fall in love almost immediately? Social psychology states that all it takes is an hour with the right person and three friends, Capri, Aqua and Cyan all set out just to see how true that theory is. With genuine love becoming more unachievable in this new generation, will the girls be able to find it? In seven days?Capri is the most skeptical of the group of friends. But despite that, she still willingly does the project. She’s willing to bet her life that love doesn’t really exist and so she agrees to the experiment just to prove her point. When she’s matched with Zeru, her reluctance only grows but just as stubborn as she is, Zeru refuses to let up. He even makes a deal with her that changes her outlook on everything. But will she see the light at the end of the tunnel? Or is she too used to the darkness?

WOW
So, so, so, so good! This one had me all in my feelings. I love an emotionally open man, and seeing her finally let him in made my heart so happy. They truly needed each other. 🥹
I’m already excited for Aqua’s story. I just know it’s going to be a wild ride.

Awwwww, my cheeks were hurting cheesing as much as i was 🥰. Loved the banter and the beautiful connection they shared. It was easy to feel through the words. And the care and support he showed her were truly heartwarming.

Is it possible to fall in love in seven days or less? Ask Capri and the answer is hell no. Ask Zeru and the answer is hell yes.
The premise is interesting: three friends participating in a social experiment, each with their own views on love. Capri is the skeptic of the group, only participating to support her friend, while Zeru is determined to wear her down and prove he’s endgame.
As they get to know one another, it becomes clear exactly why Capri is so skeptical about love. This author has a very natural writing style, and the way the characters interact never feels forced. There are plenty of moments of levity, along with surprising bouts of tenderness.
This is very much an instalove story, so if that’s not your thing, you probably won’t enjoy it. But I really enjoyed this first book and am anxious to see how things work out for the other two friends.

Capri & Zeru
The love between Capri and Zeru was indescribable. The way Capri came into the experiment not believing in love and just doing it for her friend and then ending up with BAE Zeru. Omg!!! His love for her and the way that he toon care of her made my heart melt with every word. This was a great storyline and a must read!!!

What a beautiful, yet emotional read! Neru and Capri's spark could almost be felt, the moment they laid eyes on each other. Capri was a tough woman to break down, but Neru was determined to do so. He spent his few days with Capri being intentional about showing her love, and allowing her to feel it as well. That man was love personified! Neru made her feel hope, she smiled, felt happy and could see a future, when she didn't really allow herself to do that. I am smiling with tears in my eyes, as this read was so touching! I hope that there are more stories to come, as I would love to see how things worked out for the other two ladies. Excellent read! 👍👍👍

Oh my freaking goodness!
The story was extra short yet, it was packed to the gills with so much love and goodness. The couple met at a relationship retreat, and fell in love for real. The author is new to me, recommended by a friend. It was a great recommendation.

This was so beautiful❤❤❤
This story was so beautiful!! I smiled and even shed a tear or two. Zeru and Capri were so cute from beginning to end. I wish that it was longer because I didn't want it to end. The story pulled you in from the beginning and held your attention. I really would like to see what happened with Makani and Aqua because they had me cracking up. I also wanted to know what happened to her other friend Cyan. All in all Neyrey did a wonderful job she deserved the 5 stars that were given!!!

I always expect a dope read from Author Neyrey and she has yet to let me down. This book's concept was the first I've seen like it and it was interesting. Capri and Zeru's story pulled at my heartstrings and had me giddy. I loved how Zeru wasn't afraid to love on Capri, he instantly became bae after reading. There were so many cute scenes. I enjoyed watching them fall in love and I can't wait to see if Aqua and Cyan fall in love too!

Wow!!!!
This may be one of the best stand-alone books I have ever read. Reading this had me feeling so many different emotions, but I’m so happy she decided to stop fight her feelings and decided to fight for her life because she and Zeru were absolutely made for each other. Will there be a book for Cyan? After all she’s the one that originally went looking for love and we didn’t see her the entire trip.

Good story
I’m gonna give this five stars even though this really isn’t my type of story. It’s too clean, but if your into really clean love stories it’s a really good. What I mean is there is really no drama but it’s different and I liked the characters. Just because it’s not for me, doesn’t mean the writing and story wasn’t good. I am going to read the other parts because I feel like Aqua and Mak is going to be more of my liking.

Great Short
This was a great novella and I loved it. It was short, beautiful and intimate, yet very emotional. I so loved Capri and Zeru, they chemistry was breathtaking and so hated it was a novella. This book left me wanting so much more and I'd love a spin-off to see what happened with Aqua and Makani, and to catch with the soul mates. Amazing job Neyrey.

I smiled the whole time
Even when my eyes had tears in them....I still had a smile on my face. The love in this book had me feeling some things about Mr. Zeru. This concept was beautiful and it grabbed my attention from the first page. I can't wait for Aqua's experience cause I know it's a mess in the making..

This was such a sweet novella. I could actually picture this story as a dating show! Capri and her girls seem like a hilarious trio together I am sure they have stories to tell. Zeru was the perfect man!

I enjoyed this book. Great love story a week long experiment turned into love. Capri wasn’t looking for love but she found it and I’m glad that it was with Zeru i really like him for her. He was the only one who knew she was sick and was right there for her. That’s love

Capri was a handful but I'm so glad that she let him love her. I hated that she was sick but Zeru loved her through it all. He was a wonderful man and a loving one. Great read!
