What do you get when you combine friendship, chocolate and a love story - a fabulous book titled Sweet On You by Becky Wade. It is the third book in the Bradford Sisters Series. My only regret is not reading the first two before I read this one. It is certainly capable of standing on its own, but I can only imagine the richness it would have brought to know the other sisters and their stories before diving into Britt and Zander's story. Britt is following her dream of creating chocolate treats in her own shop. Zander is traveling the world when he is hit with news of his Uncle's death. When he returns to his hometown to sort out the details, Britt is thrilled to see her best friend. But, for Zander it's much more than that. He's been in love with her for years and everyone but Britt can see it. Can he maintain a friendship without exposing his true feelings? Will Britt discover a deeper truth? And a not-to-be forgotten twist of mystery surrounding his Uncle's death. Sweet On You brings romance, friendship, faith and mystery together in a way that warms your spirit and awakes deeper thoughts. I will now be going back to read the previous sisters stories as I can't wait to see what I missed!
*I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bethany House via NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
I do love it when Becky Wade gives us a respectable mystery to figure out! She does it so well. Everything kept me guessing as Britt and Zander tried to figure out what happened to cause his uncle to be out all night and have a heart attack on the way home—but they instead stumble over a much larger issue...what if his uncle isn't who he thinks? So they set off on a quest of finding out what's up and making sure no crazy folks are going to show up and hurt his aunt and cousins.
I really loved how everything unfolded between Britt and Zander—from the first book I've been rooting for them as a couple—and it just turned out beautifully. You feel each of the moments between them and all of their longing and angst. I loved each moment! And wow...that tense ending!!! I mean, I knew surely the MCs weren't going to die at the ending, but that other part of me was sure they couldn't survive what they got into. It's got some excellent thriller moments!
I'd recommend to women over 18 for some heavy kissing scenes
Thanks for my free reading copy from the publisher and Netgalley. A favorable review was not required.
