Sweet on You by Becky Wade Review

Happy Monday Everyone :)

I hope you all had a fantastic weekend.

Unfortunately, mine was not the greatest as three of my family members ended up having serious health complications, and we also had a huge winter storm blow in on Sunday afternoon that really complicated getting anything done around here.

However, one great thing about the weekend is that I finally got the chance to finish reading Becky Wade's newest book that releases tomorrow!!!

You guys know that Becky is one of my all time favorites, and that this particular title was on my most anticipated releases of 2019 post.

Sweet on You by Becky Wade:

My Review:

I knew going into this one that I was going to love it. I'd loved Nora and John's story (True To You), I'd loved Willow and Corbin's story (Falling For You), I'd adored the two novellas, and I loved all the glimpses we were given of both Britt and Zander in the previous books. I couldn't wait to dive into this one, and it ended up being everything I was hoping for and more. 

Britt and Zander's story is a little different from the previous books in the series in that it's a best friends romance. Britt and Zander have been best friends since high school, only Zander has been carrying a torch for Britt the entire time. Britt's friends have long insisted that Zander has feelings for her, but she always shoots them down, as she doesn't want to end up losing one of the most important people in her life. At the start of Sweet on You, Zander's returning from his globe trotting journey after the life altering news that his uncle Frank who basically raised him has suddenly passed away. Zander's intense feelings for Britt were one of the main reasons he left in the first place, and they haven't changed in the time he's been away. Returning home to help his aunt means seeing Britt again, and he's quickly realizing that being around her as a friend gets harder and harder each time. When the investigation into his uncle's death brings unknown parts of his life to light, Zander and Britt set out to reveal the story once and for all. Along the way they'll have to confront the feelings that have been long building between the two of them, and keep themselves out of the dangerous can of worms they may have just opened about Frank's life before he met and married his wife.

I know to expect great things when I pick up a Becky Wade book, and Sweet on You is another reminder as to why she's one of my favorite authors. The romance is swoon worthy, the lead characters are both realistic and quirky, the writing is beautiful and addictive, the mystery keeps you on the edge of your seat, and there is just enough bits of comedic relief thrown in to keep the story completely entertaining. I love Christian romances to begin with, and this is one of the very best by one of the very best. It's stinkin adorable from start to finish, and a perfect wrap up to the Bradford Sisters. If you're a fan of romance, romantic suspense, or swoon worthy book boyfriends, then definitely give this one a go.

I love the authentic way that the faith element is always written into Becky Wade's novels, and Britt and Zander learning to let go, and let God was one of the most heartwarming parts of the story.

I'm happy to say that Sweet on You was one of my most anticipated releases for this year, and it lived up to every single one of my expectations. It gets a perfect five star rating from me, and I would re-read it in a heartbeat!

Thanks to Bethany House and NetGalley for the chance to advance read this!

I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the publisher (Bethany House) via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I was not required to give a positive review. 

Thanks so much for reading guys! Have a great rest of your day :)

About The Book: When the fun-loving and spontaneous artist Willow West meets buttoned-up, retired English teacher George Emerson, it's not exactly love at first sight.
