A Love Like the Sun by Riss M. Neilson
Genres: Friends-to-Lovers Romance, Womens Fiction
We've always been best friends... but what if we were more?
Laniah and Isaac have been best friends since childhood, and they couldn't be more different. She's a homebody who runs a small natural hair store with her mum. He's an international influencer with the paparazzi on his tail.
When Issac comes home for the first time in months and discovers Laniah and her mum are struggling to keep their business afloat, she refuses to take a dime from him. And so, he does what any self-respecting best friend would do: tells the world they're dating.
Suddenly business is booming, and Laniah reluctantly agrees to pretend to be lovers for the course of the summer. Just long enough to catch the eye of an investor and get her dream back on track.
But as the lines between what's real and pretend blur, it becomes harder and harder to see where friendship ends and something else begins....
Brimming with chemistry, A Love like the Sun is the perfect slow-burn, friends-to-lovers romance about falling in love and second chances. Perfect for fans of Tia Williams and Emily Henry.

Review
There is so much to love about this book! We have two people, Laniah and Issac who are already comfortable with each other begin to fake date. I mean how could they not fall in love with one another because truthfully these two were already there. One thing that was apparent was Issac’s feeling towards Laniah even though she seems to not notice them or maybe she thought it was only friendly feelings.
Either way watching these two get together was so much fun. The biggest thing I would have loved was to have gotten Issac’s pov as well. He was a great character. He is such a sweet guy and so easy to just love. This wasn’t a bam they are lovers and sudden chemistry. It was more of a slow burn that gradually heated up.
From the beginning to the end I loved everything about this book. I highly recommend it.
