Mine
I built an empire out of control, power, and money. But with one little lie, the entire foundation started to crack.
My solution?
Another lie.
And the only woman stubborn enough to play along was Blair Caldwell—better known as Blue. She was the sharp-tongued bartender who looked me dead in the eye the night I met her and told me where to shove my “fancy pants.”
That didn’t stop her from agreeing to be my fake wife, though. We devised a deal that would benefit us both, involving no unnecessary touching or falling in love.
But despite that, Blue unraveled every ounce of my well-crafted control. She made me laugh when I’d forgotten how. She found my darkness and lit it up, one reckless smile at a time.
And the second our lips finally touched, I knew I’d burn down every wall, every lie, and every piece of myself I used to hide behind before I’d ever let her go.
Because she was more than a business deal.
More than a mistake.
She was mine.
And I’d do whatever it took to find my soul and become the man worthy of her.
Katie Rae introduces readers to characters you’ll root for, a setting you’ll wish you could visit, and a playlist that brings every scene to life. Harmony Haven is a place where Life is a Love Song, and this story is sure to be your next swoony favorite.

Katie Rae is quickly becoming a favorite new author, her first two books I am still thinking about. Harmony Haven is a small town with the personality we expect. It’s cast of characters, and the Brooks brothers are a memorable bunch. This reader recommends Done and Catch before you read Mine, as you do need the history. If you don’t you will still get a great read.
West Brooks has been the elusive brother, he is the oldest, lives in the city. His story was worth the wait, how he takes care of others because he can. Blue made this story, we have met her in previous books, her sassy, independent self. She has a plan, knows what she wants and will get there. Her past is not pretty but it makes her the determined person she is today. Well, until Brooks rolls into her life.
Their story is a journey, and I am glad I was privy to it. There are lies and secrets, and hurt before the heal. I will be re-reading these books, highly recommend them to all.
Thank you to the Author for the advanced copy; this is my voluntary review.

I adore this series so much and was really looking forward to West’s story. I was not disappointed.
This was exactly what I was hoping for.
Closed off billionaire big brother, marriage of convenience, miscommunication, personal growth - swoon!
Blue was such a lovely, real FMC. She stayed true to herself, and who she was throughout and was the grounding force West needed.
West was such a softie. Taking care of everyone around him so he didn’t have to focus on himself. Watching his healing journey was so heartwarming.
I love all these characters so much and am sad to see the end of this series.
I can’t wait to re-read over and over though. The characters and their stories make my heart happy. So obviously, highly recommend.

I absolutely loved everything about this book!
The two main characters kept me captivated, eagerly awaiting what came next. The story is rich with humor, sass and sarcasm; has some really sweet moments and enough emotional grit to pull at your heart.
West Brooks has kept himself focused on business and disconnected from any emotional connections outside his two younger brothers and his grandparents. He sets out to achieve his goals and to fulfill his dad’s vision by buying, remodeling and flipping old houses in his hometown. When an important investor West wants to do partner with is reluctant to get involved and emphasizes the importance he places on family, West surprises himself by mentioning his non-existent fiancée and helping her plan their wedding.
When West comes up with a plan to convince Blue Caldwell to be his wife for a couple months to close a business deal, he never expects to unleash a rollercoaster of emotions and self discovery. Blue isn’t what he expects her to be, but what he needs in his life.
Blue is a firecracker who after having been through so much and focused on taking care of her dad deserves a HEA. She’s tenacious and sassy with a soft heart.
I am definitely going to go back and read Easton and Jesse’s story.

Let me start this by saying that if you have not read Done & Catch you may not read this book. Seriously, it will not feel the same if you do.
Now… let’s talk about my new favorite Katie Rae book. West has been the enigma the entire Harmony Haven series. He’s the eldest, broody Brooks brother. But he has a valid reason. This book took my emotions on such a ride that I may not be able to reread it because it was just that good. This story makes you feel what West is going through. We finally get into that beautiful mind of his! It’s so good.
Let’s talk about my girl Blue. Again, since we met her in the other books she was a bit of an enigma herself. Little bits and pieces were there but we never really knew her. Well now we do and she’s amazing. So strong without being a she-woman man hater. She’s been through a lot… but she’s soft when she needs to be. There were times I wanted to shake her… but I understood her.
I wish I could give this story all the stars in the sky in Harmony Haven but I guess I’ll have to settle for 5.

West is perfection personified. Always put together and in full control. He walks in a room and owns it…figuratively and most of the time literally. When he walks in Fiddlers and sees Blue, he knows who really owns that room. She does. And ever since he impulsively lied to a potential investor and now needs a woman in his life to make the deal, his controlled demeanor has inwardly cracked. Small cracks that start to expand when Blue becomes more than he bargained for. Yes, she agrees to be his “wife” for a deal that benefits them both. So why does this seem like more with every fake touch and stolen glance? There will be twists that will make you wanna scream at the pages, cry with both of them, and drop both your jaw and your Kindle.
West takes his place on the book boyfriend Hall of Fame and Blue, well, he wouldn’t get there without her.
Grab this one and get beautifully lost! Five stars and slow burn spicy!

I just loved this book! So many heartfelt moments. From dinner at Grams and Gramps (West) to Blue’s amazing dad for raising her himself. Both have some sad pasts that are definitely hard, but both West and Blue are making their way in life the best they can. West buys and rebuilds homes. He moved away from Harmony Haven years ago because of something that happened. Blue works at a bar with a terrible boss.
Blue does know of West’s family and it isn’t til one incident where West buys the bar. He puts Blue in charge. Now he has a proposal for her and at the end, he will give her the bar. On this crazy adventure the chemistry between Blue and West is definitely there, but they try their hardest to hold back. Will this business proposal turn to more or are they doomed? What kind of secrets are lurking? Wait til you find out!

Big Brother, Marriage of convenience ‘ closed off billionaire’ miscommunications, personal growth , second chances and so much more . OMG !! Words cannot even start to describe how much I adore this series . We finally get Wests Story and oh my gosh it does not disappoint. Blue and West !! They genuinely had my heart from the very first page . Their story was so beautiful and emotionally charged . Times I found myself smiling and laughing, others I was yelling and crying but what stayed the same was how hard I found myself rooting for them and how utterly invested I became . I loved West - the way he would do anything for his family and friends, the way he had such a good heart and loved with all of it . And Blue - she was such a great heroine . The way she grounded west and stood by his side throughout everything. These two could not be more perfect together

Received as an ARC and leaving my honest review voluntarily. West is the eldest Brooks brother and he has always come across as the broody, in control brother. And we finally learn why he appears so closed off. Blue is such a good match for him, with her strength and straight forwardness, and how she is so aware and sensitive of his pain. But both have gone through their own painful pasts, and I loved how the author handled the topic of trauma and feelings of abandonment, guilt, forgiveness, finding peace and healing, with sensitivity and realness that had my emotions in a wringer. What started as pretend for West and Blue becomes so much more when they both face their past and in West's case, finally forgives himself and accept that he is deserving of love and happiness. West and Blue's story was the perfect ending to this wonderfully heartfelt Harmony Haven series.

Harmony Haven Conclusion and it was so satisfying. You can read it alone, but to get the best impact of West's growth, I recommend reading in sequence.
West was such an enigma coming out of the first 2 books, I was eager to get inside his head and figure him out. It was so much more emotional than I thought. He was so guilt ridden and broken that he didn't know how to be happy. My heart ached for his tortured soul.
Blue is such a caretaker. She wants to make the best of the cards the universe has dealt her and her dad, but things kept getting in the way of making progress. Until West stepped in and tried to make life easier for her. She hesitated every step of the way, stubborn and angry. But the more time they spent together, the more happiness was an option... as long as they don't ruin it all with said stubbornness.
I loved this series and I'm sad to see it end, but I can totally see myself coming back to Harmony Haven again and again.
I requested and was provided with an advanced copy of the ebook. These are my honest opinions.

Hands down West is by far my favorite Brooks brother. He’s so broken and full of guilt over his parents he can’t get past it, he had no idea the fiery bartender would turn his world upside down. I loved Blue, she’s got grit, sass and she’s fiery and a perfect match for West, the one who is always in control that is until he needs a favor and Blue is just who he needs to pull it off. It’s all fake until it is t and both start having feelings. I loved one of the rules that Blue set, that he couldn’t fall in love with her. These two broke all their rules which left them both wondering where to go from there. It’s emotional for both of them, a truth comes to the surface and can West out the past to bed and move forward to a future with Blue?

“Mine” by Katie Rae is a must-read!
From the first page, I was hooked. Blue and West’s chemistry is undeniable grumpy x sunshine done so right. The banter? Sharp. The tension? Delicious. The emotion? Deep and real.
West is the kind of grumpy hero who slowly unravels in the best way, and Blue is strong, stubborn, and so easy to root for. Their journey had me laughing, tearing up, and feeling everything.
Just wait until you learn what he’s been keeping behind that locked door…
Katie Rae nailed the spice, the swoon, and the slow-burn magic. This one had everything I needed and then some. I absolutely loved it!

4.5/5 Stars
Mine by Katie Rae is the slow-burn, fake marriage, grumpy x sunshine perfection I didn’t know I needed. West—the broody, closed-off billionaire—finally gets his moment, and wow, what a ride. His emotional unraveling? Chef’s kiss. Blue? A firecracker with a heart of gold and a soft spot for her dad that made me love her even more. Their chemistry is insane, the tension delicious, and the healing? Beautiful. I laughed, swooned, and felt every twist. West might be the eldest Brooks brother, but this story proves he's also the most unforgettable. The perfect ending to Harmony Haven. 💙

Well...this has it all. Storylines follow a regular pattern of a fake relationship/marriage, but it is complicated by West's problems and Blue's problems. A 10 year age gap means that whilst the Brooks family is known in Harmony and he is a billionaire, left home as soon as and his demons have driven him. She is the bar manager at Fiddlers and working class, money tight environment and comes from the small town over the wrong side of the tracks. The contract fools no-one and they are soon fooling themselves. Love and life, past and present collides and it is difficult for them both. Surprise after surprise for them, all mould their actions and can dictate the future.

If you have read any of the books in this series you will know just how good they are and you will not be disappointed by this book. Blue and West were more perfect than I could have ever imagined. Blue is a strong and determined woman and West is the oldest Brooks brother who has always taken care of the other and it was good to see him get some happiness. When West enters Blue’s life she doesn’t know it but he will help her heal from her traumatic past and these two can forge ahead to build a very beautiful and loving life together. As usual Katie Rae delivers a very well written and thought out story of love, understanding and belonging. This book is worthy of five stars.
September 30, 2025
This series and these brothers, all I can say is WOW. I thought I knew what West’s story would be like but I was so wrong and glad I was because this one grabbed me and won’t let go. West is carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders but his family doesn’t know the half of it. Blue is this tough woman who just wants to take of her father and herself. Neither had any clue that their worlds would crash together and change them forever.
Loved their banter, their chemistry, and the way they both love their families. Just enjoy this read, you won’t be sorry you picked it up.

Yep, as suspected this is my favorite of the series.
I loved West & Blue. The push & pull between them. The way they wanted to hate each other, but couldn’t. Ughhh it was just so good! Once again, Katie through in a little twist that I didn’t expect. I love that about her.
This entire series has just been such an absolute treat from Katie Rae. So different from her previous series, but I love that! It’s not a secret that I’m a Katie Rae fangirl. 😉
I’m so sad to see this series come to an end, but I look forward to whatever she has coming in the future.

The oldest, and frankly my favorite Harmony Haven brother is the MMC in this new release from Katie Rae. West is a billionaire that wants nothing than to be far away from Harmony Haven. He gets himself into trouble by telling a little white lie and then has to go through with a fake marriage to local bartender, Blue. This book is full of all of the feels and is the perfect ending for the Brooks brothers of Harmony Haven.

Fake marriage Perfection
Blue and West grabbed my heart and took me to another place (namely Harmony Haven).
I loved this beautifully crafted emotional roller coaster. The characters are realistic and loveable, their story drew tears as well as swoons and smiles.
This has secrets, drama, healing, growth, twists, banter, slow-burn steam, heart and family.
I’m sad to see the end of this series as the Brook’s brothers have each earned a spot on my Book Boyfriend list.

I adore Harmony Haven series! And we get West’s story!
Grumpy West had such a soft spot underneath all those layers. They was he was there for everyone else, putting himself last, his journey of healing was remarkable.
Blue, I lover her! She was exactly what West needed. Though she hated him at first due to a misunderstanding, as they go on “dates,” the connection these two form shines.

This was my first book in the Harmony Haven series. Despite this, I had no issues following the secondary characters. Katie did a great job introducing characters and any secondary plot from previous books, so there was no confusion. I loved Blue! She was strong and could read West so well, better than anyone else. I loved how they came together. Great read!

Man, my heart is sighing!
That’s how you finish up a sibling series! It was sweet, tender, not rushed, and there was so much heart and feeling in it. I feel like I experiencing their story as a close friend. I want a hug from Grams and Gramps and to sit at the table for Sunday dinner. This series has felt that real. It’s beautiful writing I tell ya!

✨arc review✨
This series is such a fun series to read! Each one starts out with a life lesson from the grandpa, who is usually proven right by the end of the book. West needs a wife to close a business deal, and Blue needs help with her bar. Of course, what else is there to do but get married? We met Blue 2 books ago, and she was the perfect girl for West - bringing him out of his shell and getting him to wear JEANS!! I can't wait to see what series Katie will start next!
Thank you to Katie Rae for the arc!!

I loved this book. It had great characters and was well written. I enjoyed hte fake marriage concept. And how West truly did not expect Blue to be who she is, but she is everything he needed. This book also had twists to keep you engaged. I highly recommend you read it. I received a copy of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review.
November 14, 2025
I loved getting to know West and Blue! The little prices of them in the previous books weren’t enough. Seeing their struggle to trust others and to move forward in their lives made this book very real. While I don’t love the third act breakup trope, I must say Katie Rae knows how to write a touching reunion! This was an excellent read and highly recommend reading it!
September 28, 2025
Can we adjust the star rating scale please …….because let me assure you 5 stars is nowhere close to enough to express how absolutely amazing this book is!!! After reading the previous books in this series, I knew we were going to go through all the emotions with Weston but damn I was still unprepared. Blue is one of my favorite FMC in quite some time, she is incredibly relatable and lovable. I couldn't help but root for the two of them to help each other heal from their emotional damage and pasts so that the future could be everything that they deserved.
September 30, 2025
This author nails is every single time. I adored East and Miles, but West has my heart and soul. And Blue is a firecracker. These two are so perfect together. As always, I'll be waiting impatiently for this author's next book baby.
October 1, 2025
West and Blue both were strong MCs. When he needs a "wife" they play the part well too well in fact. I loved how he took in the wife possessive role. How he was there for her when her dad had a health crisis. The story flowed well and was written nicely.
October 3, 2025
This is the third book in the Harmony Haven series. Weston and Blue‘s story was well written and easy to read. I loved their relationship dynamics. They were made for each other. Their story is emotional and sweet. An amazing read.
December 23, 2025
OMG this book was amazing. It had me all in my feelings. The author took you through someone being broken for decades, how they get restored and how they learn to move on. Just such a story that you just want to know more.
September 28, 2025
Katie rae books never disappoints!! I love getting to know each of these brothers through their books. This one may be my favorite so far.
