Love Sincerely: A Love In McAllen Sweet Romantic Comedy
Love thy enemy? Easier said than done.
Tori Dennings is made to wow and entertain as she trims cuticles and gasps at client gossip, one after the other, while selecting the perfect shade of nail polish for a manicure—there's a big difference between revenge red and Christmas cheer red.
Tori is not delicate like a flower. She’s delicate like a hand grenade. She isn’t made for sitting in an office chair and staring at a screen all day, and she definitely isn't made for a work social circle of only two. Alas, at Tori's new job, it’s just her and Aiden Dupre, the uncomfortable stranger who’d never even heard of McAllen, Colorado before being assigned to work there. He’s not only an out-of-towner; he's also out of touch with any kind of small-town social skills and likability.
How is Tori supposed to keep this job and its necessary income when the guy who's supposed to acquire and represent the local clients is such a mess? Well, not a mess. He's actually really put together—too put together. Too well-dressed, too posh, and definitely way too attractive. Can Tori navigate her new job and her less-than-thrilled-to-be-here coworker?
Love Sincerely is the second full-length novel in the Love in McAllen Sweet Romantic Comedy series. It’s a closed-door romance full of sizzle, banter, and chemistry, but without explicit content. Each book can be read as a standalone, but you will see character crossovers.

About the author
Elisse Brady
3 books11 followersOriginally from Los Angeles, Elisse now lives with her husband and two children in Southeastern Idaho--a very different scene--but the impressively dry climate does make it easier to tame her long, curly hair, when she gets around to washing it. She double majored in Humanities and English Education at Brigham Young University, was a junior high English teacher for a number of years, and more recently, an exercise class instructor, and the PTO President. She loves laughing, eating all the Asian fusion food, reading (obviously), chocolate anything, and long walks with her Goldendoodle, Stewie--not all necessarily together, but some of those could make for some very interesting combinations.

Such a fun read! It had me laughing, cringing (in a totally appropriately good way), and basking in the awesome banter! The love story is adorable and I enjoyed all of the characters. A wonderful second book that pairs nicely with the first. You can't help but root for them in their pursuit of love!

So cute! I loved this new installment in the McAllen universe. Tori is spunky and has such a fun inner dialogue. The progression of Tori and Aiden's relationship was so fulfilling to read, and we got more of the wonderful friendship between Tori and Elle. Loved the whole thing.

I loved the first book. When I heard about the second book I knew I needed to read it. Tori is so relatable. The give and take is thrilling! Definitely loved seeing the romance blossom. Just as fun as the first book!

A must read! This is an adorable lighthearted romcom with an enemies to lovers trope. The banter and inside jokes between the main characters are so so good.
This book will have you wanting black licorice and flavor blasted goldfish.
This book is also clean or no spice so kisses only
In general it was just super cute and I want to read it again!

Love Sincerely was a hoot and a half but also so, so sweet. Tori is a hilarious woman who’s appalled at the audacity of her new coworker, Aiden, to insult her the first time they meet. She sees a standoffish and arrogant man and wants nothing to do with him.
SO much to love about this book. Tori and Aiden both have a lot to figure out about each other. I’m obsessed with the way their hatred thawed out just enough for them to become really good friends. That core part of their relationship was so evident and fun. Tori is all personality and Aiden is much more than she originally pegs him for. Tori’s inner dialogue will have you rolling on the floor. 😂
Aiden is SO INCREDIBLY THOUGHTFUL. Once Tori warms up to him (she takes her dear, sweet time doing so), you will be melting at all of the small but significant things he does for her. Seriously, it’s the sweetest. Also can we talk about how awesome a Saudi Arabian MMC was?? Some of my coworkers grew up in Saudi and India and so it was easy for me to picture Aiden and fun to find cultural references I recognized.
This book is full of enemies-to-lovers tension, small town drama, some fun snow storms, and the sweetest slow burn romance!
This was my first book by Elisse and I’m already pumped to read more of her stories!

Love, Sincerely by Elise Brady was a fun rom-com and such a treat to read as an ARC. It had a great setup with office enemies-to-lovers and a slow-burn romance that built over time—especially with a less-than-ideal first meeting between the main characters that set the tone.
While I enjoyed the overall concept and found it to be an easy, entertaining read, I didn’t feel as connected to the characters as I had hoped, which made it a little harder to fully invest in their story.
That said, it still had plenty of fun moments, and I can definitely see this being a hit for readers who love a light, workplace rom-com with a slow-burn romance.

Loved this story! I laughed so many times and loved the ending!

The deeper I got into this book, the more I loved it. Tori is a fun-loving, vivacious woman who is starting a new office job. Her coworker, Aiden, does not make the best first impression, leading to some enemies-to-lovers vibes. They work together to save their office, and the sparks fly between them! I love Elisse’s writing because I truly feel inside Tori’s head- I love reading her thoughts. Her journey of allowing herself to to want more and be “too much” was enjoyable. Aiden was a smitten little kitten, and I loved seeing their relationship develop. I laughed out loud, I teared up, and I even swooned at this one.
