The mystery/suspense aspects of all the books in this series overshadowed the romance elements, which isn’t my preference. They were well written as her books always are, but I don’t think I’ll reread them like I have her previous books.

I am a new fan of this author. The first book in the series took me a little while to get into, and I loved the second one. This one rounded out the trilogy.

Becky Wade is truly in a masterclass of her own when it comes to writing sassy, sweet, and a little spicy contemporary romance. She has done it again in Sweet on You.
Whip-smart and snappy dialogue with a dash of sass and a dose of adorable populate the pages, keeping the tone fast-paced and emitting the easy, comfortable way that Britt & Zander have with each other. There’s a smile to be had on nearly every page, and when I reached the end I just wanted to hug the book & Zander & Britt & even Becky Wade herself!
The friends-to-more trope is one of my faves to read – primarily because that’s my own love story too. I spent 3 years telling my friends that E and I were just friends and we would never date. So I could totally relate to Britt early on in the story when she bemoans the fact that people just can’t accept that a man and woman could be just friends. As my grandma said to me, i say to Britt – “Famous last words”
And speaking of that “more” they are journeying toward… that friendship set on fire…. I have two things to say:
1. The combination of utter tenderness, pent-up longing, and sizzling chemistry between them is swoonilicious times 100.
2. HOLY GUACAMOLE… those kisses, y’all. Their first kiss had me holding my breath and searching for my fainting couch and swooning all twitterpated-like.
In the midst of searching for answers regarding the untimely death of Zander’s uncle, trying to get the latest truffle recipe just right & planning for a Bradford sister wedding, the author gives us delicious quotes that make me swoon in word-smithing-and-romantic-heart delight.
And tucked away between these pages is a poignant and achingly sweet message: we were never meant to rely on ourselves or other people – rely only on God because He never fails. And He is there to supply all the grace we need.
Bottom Line: I. LOVED. IT. I could stop right there but I’ll also mention that Wade achieves the perfect blend of suspense, romance, family and faith. And those kisses!!! I also loved the snippets of text message & passed notes, and phone calls that enhanced both the plot and the characters.
(I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.)

about a quarter of the way through this book, I realized that Becky Wade's books are akin to a hallmark movie. I read one of her books that won a Christy Award in it's category a few years back, and didn't understand the hype. I've continued to pick up her books, because they are on the Christy Award list but it was because they were on the list. I think that because I read the 2nd book right before I read this one is how I came to realize this and didn't really like the predictability of it all. Kinda like a hallmark move.

Sweet on You boasts wonderfully complex characters, an exciting plot, and an endearing friends-to-romance thread that rivals the sweetness of our heroine's chocolate shop.
As far as I'm concerned, Britt and Zander are irresistibly lovable. Britt is a fiercely independent and adventurous young woman and a chocolatier savant! Zander is loyal and compassionate and uber talented in his own right!
Books, chocolate, and friends-to-romance threads aside, Sweet on You strikes just the right balance between main character focus and secondary character spotlighting. I highly recommend this series and look forward to reading future stories from Becky Wade.

Similar to the other books in the series, this book was equally as cute. However, unlike the other books I had been anticipating this book since the first book. This relationship was hinted at so much in the other two books, it kept me on my toes.
The storyline was so intriguing in this book. There was the romance between Zander and Britt, but there was also the suspense and mystery of the art heist that really just added more adventure, intrigue and drama to the book. Britt was so easy to get along with, she's adventurous, caring and sassy. And similar to Britt, Zander was one of my favorite male leads. He reminded me of my all time favorite, Mr. Darcy. He's dark and brooding and speaks with such eloquence at times.
I had waited for this book and story and was not at all disappointed in how it turned out. I loved reading Britt and Zander's story and I totally recommend it.
