Sweet on You

GIVEAWAY
WADE, BECKY
SWEET ON YOU

Britt Bradford and Zander Ford have been the best friends since they met thirteen years ago. Unbeknown to Britt, Zander has been in love with her for just as long.

Independent and adventurous Britt channels her talent into creating chocolates at her hometown shop. Zander is a bestselling author who has spend the past eighteen months traveling the world. He's achieved a great deal but still lacks the only thing that ever truly mattered to him -- Britt's heart.

When Zander's uncle dies under mysterious circumstances, he returns to Merrywather, Washington, to investigate, and Britt is immediately there to help. Although this throws them into close proximity, both understand that an attempt at romance could jeopardize their once-in-a-lifetime friendship. Britt is determined to resit any change in their relationship, but Zander finds it increasingly difficult to keep his feelings hidden.

As they work together to uncover his uncle's tangled past, will the truth of what lies between them also finally come to light?

My Review:

Heaving Sigh.
Shuddering hiccoughs.
Chronic sniffles.

Excuse the state I'm in but this is the last Bradford Sister Romance and...it's Zander's story! I've been rooting for him the whole series. He's been Britt's shadow since high school. The angry kid with a troubled past prepared to hate the entire town but Britt blithely blew through all his defenses. He fell in love. She didn't. But they've been the best of friends for thirteen years. That's over a decade of unrequited love, people! Oh, the angst and the turmoil and the hopes dashed! My tummy is still in knots and my heart still beats erratically! I might not recover -- especially since we've run out of series.

Honestly, Zander could do no wrong for me...even though he insisted on being all stubbornly silent about his love for Britt. I wanted to shake some action into him, but mostly I just wanted to hug the stuffing right out of him! Britt, on the other hand...well, I might have had some bloodthirsty thoughts about her. I mean, what she put Zander (and me!) through!!!! That girl was clueless while being all sweet and endearing and unknowingly beguiling! And then, when she suddenly starts to feel attracted to Zander she doesn't say peep either. Gah! Love a good friends to lovers romance and this is excellent if somewhat nerve-wracking for readers with gentle sensibilities like moi. :-)

But when these two finally connect -- ahem! -- roll in the fainting couch and prepare for some rigorous toe-curling calisthenics! There's nothing quite like a love that builds out of the firm foundation of an enduring friendship.

There's even a bonus mystery to round out the story -- and lots of sisterly snippets to savor one last time. (Excuse me while I quietly weep into my lace hankie.) Definitely a blockbuster conclusion to a memorable series.

  1. Oh this is one I'm dying to read!!!!! I've read the prequel and the first two books and have the ebook on hold (it's been forever)...these are definite keeper-shelf worthy!!!! And I NEVER keep books...they get read and passed on to my sister-in-law....so that's saying A LOT for me to want to hoard these 😂

    2. I'm not normally a contemporary person either Elly, but I had heard so much about the Bradford Sisters series that I had to start reading them. I've since discovered Becky Wade was worth it!! She's an exceptionally good writer and really engages & immerses the reader into her stories; I really felt like I wanted to befriend her characters! I hope you get a chance to "discover" her for yourself 😊

    3. P.S. I don't normally get overly emotional over a story, but these brought real tears to my eyes in places. That's a sign of a good book in my opinion!

  12. I love Becky Wade's books. I thought MY STUBBORN HEART was really good (her first book) but each one since just seems to get even better. I've been wanting to read SWEET ON YOU since I finished FALLING FOR YOU but buying books isn't in the budget right now. Thanks for the swoony review and the chance to win it.

  19. I have absolutely ADORED the entire Bradford Sisters series! I think Nora is still the sister I felt most connected to for obvious bookish reasons but I've been looking forward to Zander's story since the beginning. He did not disappoint! Don't enter me since I've read this one already. Loved your review!
