I’ve been struggling with reading lately – stupid pandemic – but this was a great book to start to pull me out of my book funk! This is a book that checks all of the boxes for me.
The meet cute for Sweet Love is just that – cute. I loved the set up of two strangers running into each other in front of a wall of candy and letting misunderstanding and brutal honesty ensue. This initial meeting created an even footing for the characters of Connor and Charli that I don’t think they would have had if full identities had been shared.
Both the main characters of Connor and Charli were easy to like and root for. Neither character was perfect, but they seemed to be aware of some of their flaws and compliment each other well. The secondary cast was highly entertaining and helped move the story along at several points. I had at least a grudging respect for each of the characters we got to see here.
The story behind Sweet Love was multifaceted, but everything worked together so well that the various elements truly fed off of each other. We saw both Connor and Charlie deal with family issues, there were job issues, friendships and of course romance. While the romantic relationship between Connor and Charli tied everything together, it was great to see the growth they experienced in other facets of the story.
Sweet Love is a complete standalone, but I really hope it is the beginning of a series. There are several secondary characters that I would love to see get their own books.

Will our sweet love turn into sour patched tear jerkers or will he be my big hunk, now & later and forever?Β
