Sweet on You by
5.0
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.)
