Sweet Somethings Kindle Edition

"If you love Hallmark movies, you will adore this book. It is a story of second chances for Juliette and Roman (you have to love the names). It's small town romance at its best!. It is sweet without being sugary. Every town should be so lucky to have a coffee shop where romance is only a cup of coffee away." Teri - Goodreads

Roman Prescott has always lived his life in the shadows. Being invisible meant staying alive—during his troubled childhood and his years as a soldier. But when an injury sends him back to the small town of Fairhope, he can't hide from his past or the light brought forth by a beautiful pastry chef.

Having lost her parents at a young age, Juliette Adams has had her share of tragedy, but now she fills her days making sweet desserts in her bakery and trying to recapture her happy childhood. Then she meets an attractive, brooding man, who is not only tearing down her old house but might just tear apart her fragile future. She's not interested in the tragic love story she was named after—she wants a love that will lift her up, that will last, and this sexy soldier has one foot out the door.

They both know they should ignore the sparks between them, but Valentine's Day fever has lit up the town and old love letters and long-buried secrets keep bringing them together. Can these two wary souls get past their fear of loving and losing to finally win the greatest love of all?

If so, what could be sweeter than that?

From #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy comes a poignant, and charming romance about going home, falling in love and finding yourself.

What the readers are saying...

"I loved this book and am a big fan of Barbara's writing. I loved all the characters.Roman with his dark side but with a big heart and Juliette with her big heart trying to recapture her past and grab onto a future....If you don't get this book you are really missing out." Iloveny - Amazon

Aa wonderful story with heartache, perseverance and romance. As a Marine on medical leave, Roman Prescott keeps himself busy helping his grandfather; as a work driven bakery owner, Juliette Adams spends long hours in her shop striving to make a success of her business. Thanks so much for a great book that kept me reading way past bedtime. 5 STARS!" Marlene - Goodreads

"A little mystery, a lot of love and laughter.SWEET SOMETHINGS a great book and I recommend it and any of Barbara's books. 5 STARS!" Nancy - Goodreads

"Sparks fly and in true Barbara fashion suspense and mystery follow leaving a really sweet story that you will love." Mommymoose - Goodreads

"If you are looking for a light feel good romance this book is it. I recommend reading this book for a cold day with a cup of hot chocolate, the perfect combination." Diane - Goodreads

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

SWEET SOMETHINGS is a full-length standalone novel. But to add a cool twist, it's set in the world of a romantic movie called COFFEE SHOP that can be found on Amazon Video. Both stories (the book and the movie) take place in the same small coastal town, and some of the characters cross over. You can read/watch each separately without missing a beat, as they each have their own independent storylines, but if you'd love to check out both, you'll have even more fun!

This was a sweet story between two very different personalities. Juliette sees the world a bit with rose colored glasses and has to question everything - with a smile on her face. Roman is in town temporarily with a chip on his shoulder. As Juliette works her way into Roman's world, he begins to see things maybe are a little brighter than he thinks. These two coming together is a sweet love story. Neither overreacted at each other (much), rather they worked through things together. They were drawn to each other and it felt like the ending we got was only their beginning. Great chemistry between them too.

A family home brings a couple together to find love for each other and hidden memories help reunite two older people find romance again. Really enjoyed how this played out and it kept my interest. It was not complicated with different characters but showed how a small town knew each other and supported each other. People came to the bakery to buy wish cookies and the owner was a successful female who fell in love with the person remodeling her childhood home.

This story leaves several unanswered questions. No editing errors, gratuitous violence or drag-you-down drama.

Entertaining storyline of returning to one’s home town. Flexible procedures, actions and reactions. Believable dialogue and characters with distinct personalities personalities. What happened with the arsonist?

Recipes would be nice.

No desire to re-read this story. I am always interested in works by this author.

Reviewed in Germany on March 1, 2017

Sonst ist Freethy bei mir immer mit einem Kaufreflex verbunden. Aber leider ist in diesem Buch nicht die übliche Mischung aus energiegelandener, selbstbewusster Frau, einem interessanten Mann und einem dunklen Geheimnis gegeben. Die Frau ist hysterisch, übermäßig aufdringlich, bezeichnet sich dann wieder als schüchtern und wird als überarbeitet bezeichnet, obwohl sie das halbe Buch damit verbringt, dem Mann nachzulaufen. Der passende Mann ist von Seite eins an uninteressant, sowohl äußerlich wie innerlich. Es gibt zwischen den beiden keine Chemie, seine Gedanken, die sich von Gereiztheit in ihrer Nähe blitzartig in übermäßige Verliebtheit wandeln, konnte ich nicht nachvollziehen. Das düstere Geheimnis im Buch war ein Feuer, das dem Mann vor Jahren angehängt worden war. Am Ende des Buchs wusste immer noch niemand, wer es wirklich gelegt hatte.
