Sweet, Sexy Heart by Melissa Foster

Sweet, Sexy Heart, as the name suggests, was sweet, sexy and full of heart. In her note to readers, Foster stated that Dash Pennington may yet be her most swoon worthy hero and I definitely have to agree with her. I will even go further and say Sweet, Sexy Heart may be one of the best books I have read for the year. I had fun returning to Oak Falls.

Amber intrigued me from the moment of her introduction in the series. She is a sweetheart, kind and loved by all she came in contact with. However, having to deal with epilepsy led to her placing limitations on her life. Spontaneity did not feature in her world. To keep the seizures in check, she had to avoid overly stressful situations and keep her emotions under control. Although she finds pleasure in operating her own bookstore and spending time with her family and service dog, she dreams of one day finding the man of her dreams; someone who like her lived a sedate life. Enters Dash Pennington, however, he was unlike anyone she was looking for.

Dash  a retired football player turned motivational speaker and author, is looking to promote his book in several bookstores throughout the country. Amber’s bookstore would be his first stop. Falling in love was the furthest thing from Dash’s mind. However, when he laid eyes on Amber, he knew he found his everlasting love. If only he could convince her they were meant for each other.

When Dash was first introduced, he exuded an arrogant vibe. However, as his layers started peeling away, what came to light was a confident man who was all heart. He knew what he wanted and had no qualms about pursuing his goals and with Amber; he pulled out all the stops. For someone who claimed to know nothing about romance, he had it oozing from his pores. The defining moment for me was his reaction when she had a seizure. I loved him before, but at this point I fell in love with him all over again. That moment had me reaching for tissues.

Dash and Amber shared sweet moments, but their intimate times burned up the pages. At one point I thought Amber would have developed a seizure during this time. Thank goodness that was not the case.

I enjoyed the camaraderie between the characters. It was a treat to see how protective  everyone was towards Amber, but what I  most was watching her out of her shell and embracing all the things she missed out on while growing up.

Conclusion/Recommendation

To conclude Sweet Sexy, Heart is a beautiful, heartwarming story of unconditional love. Fans of steamy romance set in a small town will love this latest offering from the queen of sexy and heartwarming stories.

More Bradens & Montgomerys: Pleasant Hill – Oak Falls 

EMBRACING HER HEART

Welcome to Oak Falls, Virginia, home to horse farms, midnight rodeos, bookstores, coffee shops, and quaint restaurants where you’re greeted like family and treated like treasured guests. Buckle up for a wild ride. Like any Southern girls worth their salt, the sweet-talking, sharp-tongued Montgomery sisters can take men to their knees with one seductive glance or a single sugarcoated sentence. 

A second chance at their first love…

Leaving New York City and returning to her hometown to teach a screenplay writing class seems like just the break Grace Montgomery needs. Until her sisters wake her at four thirty in the morning to watch the hottest guys in town train wild horses and she realizes that escaping her sisters’ drama-filled lives was a lot easier from hundreds of miles away. To make matters worse, she spots the one man she never wanted to see again—ruggedly handsome Reed Cross. 

Reed was one of Michigan’s leading historical preservation experts, but on the heels of catching his girlfriend in bed with his business partner, his uncle suffers a heart attack. Reed cuts all ties and returns home to Oak Falls to run his uncle’s business. A chance encounter with Grace, his first love, brings back memories he’s spent years trying to escape. 

Grace is bound and determined not to fall under Reed’s spell again—and Reed wants more than another taste of the woman he’s never forgotten. When a midnight party brings them together, passion ignites and old wounds are opened. Grace sets down the ground rules for the next three weeks. No touching, no kissing, and if she has it her way, no breathing, because every breath he takes steals her ability to think. But Reed has other ideas… 

The Bradens & Montgomerys are part of Melissa’s Love in Bloom big-family romance collection. All Love in Bloom novels are written to stand alone and may also be enjoyed as part of the larger series, so pe right into this fun, sexy romance.

After Charlotte Sterling loses her last family member, she moves to Sterling House, her family’s Colorado mountain inn, to live a solitary life. As an erotic romance writer, her days and nights are filled with passion and intrigue-even if only fictional. She loves her busy, quiet lifestyle, and she learned early on that real men can’t live up to the fictional heroes she creates-until ruggedly handsome Beau Braden arrives to do some work at the inn and, for the first time in forever, she’s intrigued by a real man.

Beau lost his first love years ago, and he’s never let go of his guilt over her death. As he nears the anniversary of his loss, he is on the cusp of becoming the star of a home-renovation reality show. Escaping the painful memories of his past to work at the defunct old inn is just the promise of solitude he needs to clear his head before ping in to the all-too-public career. But he didn’t count on being attracted to the whimsical, adorably sexy innkeeper.

Neither Charlotte nor Beau is looking for an attachment or a fling. But the more they learn about each other, the closer they become. Romantic evenings lead to intimate conversations, and neither can deny their deep connection or the passion it sparks. They’ve never fully healed on their own, but together maybe anything is possible.
