If I had half stars, I would have rated this book 3,5, leaning towards 4. I really like the story, I don’t remember seeing this anywhere else before (or once or twice)
I still love the small beach town vibe of this series, the found family and the ‘soulmate’ couple we get to read about. Although I really think book 2 and 3 are similar… Obviously there’s some things that are different but because I read one after the other, I guess it really jumps to my eyes.
I didn’t really like Nick that much, in the other book I was under the impression he was younger and I don't know.. He wasn’t as present in the book as Riley (Nate’s daughter in the previous book). I really like when children are part of the story, especially when there are single parents in the story !
Anyway ! Good thing is that the spice is slowly getting heavier and heavier so maybe the next will be the perfect amount !
I love the trope ‘poor’ boy and ‘rich’ girl having a secret romance in their teens, parents mixing and destroying said relationship and them finding each other again later in life. Seriously I love it, and honestly this one was pretty great !

I didn't expect to love it as much as I did, but I am glad.

Once again, Carrie Elks has written an addictive, sexy story but what I’ve also found with the Angel Sands books is that there’s a real charm and homeliness about them. Firstly, I think that this is down to the strong bond the girls have and secondly the setting of the novels based in a small coastal town in America that’s filled with sunshine, laughter and community spirit.
Sweet Little Lies is Brooke’s turn in the spotlight.
I adored Brooke and Aiden’s story as I particularly loved Brooke’s personality; the single mom with hopes and dreams for a career working with animals. Brooke adored her son and the work at the animal shelter was her second love and these character strengths shone through Brooke’s personality. Aiden’s characters had a vulnerability about him, he’d turned his life around and was back in his home town to prove to any cynics he’d done good. However, Aiden couldn’t shake all the dirt from his history and once it caught up with him it would change his life and that of others.
A story with heart and soul that was addictively moreish

This is my fave of the three so far in this series. A single mom with an adorable right year old boy and family drama, a second chance romance (even tho it had a 3rd act sort of breakup ugh).
