My review: Sweet Surprises by Shirlee McCoy (Home Sweet Home #2)
5 STARS
I want fudge now! Even the mistakes Brenna keeps throwing out sound good. Brenna Lamont has come back home after her life fell apart to help her grandfather is his candy shop. Brenna spends a lot of time trying to make the family top secret fudge and other candies. This Sweet Surprises is a yummy book.
It is very touching. Lots of drama, interesting characters that I want to see more of, a little mystery and lots of chocolate. Oh lets not forget the humor or the romance. It is also a clean read.
River Maynard is back in Benevolence, Washington, A place he did not want to be. The foster mother he lived in had a stroke, Her ranch and home has a worn look. His foster mother has a bunch of free loaders living with her too. He is determined to make things better for her.
I am very interested to what will happen to some of the characters in the next book. It does a great job of teasing you to want more.
I love the small town of Benevolence. I want more than just one more book set in it.
I like ShirleeMcCoy's writing style. I will read more books by her in the future.
I was given this Arc from NetGalley and Kensington Books. I promised to give a honest review of Sweet Surprises in return.
