Candy Hearts Romance!

Sweet Kiss by Judy Ann Davis

Hard-working Kate Clark opens a thriving coffee shop that quickly becomes the local hang-out for students and the community. Her one wish is to eventually buy out her sister’s share of the old Florida home they inherited. However, Violet is in desperate need of cash and has other plans.

Tappe Vanderberg, Kate’s childhood friend and high school sweetheart, has sold his lucrative internet security business to return to Little Heron Shores and fulfill his dreams of owning a marina. Now the handsome Dutch-born businessman is making waves with single women all over town—including loony, post mistress Eva May Poole who’s in search of husband number three.

But it’s Kate Clark who’s wreaking havoc with Tappe’s heart, not Eva May. Can he find a way to shake the dingbat post mistress and convince Kate to give him a second chance and the sweet kiss he remembers from an earlier time?

Valentine's Day is always cold up here in upstate New York so it was quite a treat to spend it in sunny Florida on the waterfront in Ms. Davis' Sweet Kiss! I basked in the warm ocean breezes and the beautiful sunsets over the ocean.

Both Tappe and Kate are great characters and you can't help but want them to rekindle their old romance. The humor is great. I love it when you can laugh with the characters instead of at them, and Ms. Davis has an adept hand at bringing the funny! I recommend this for everyone, but especially those of you who long for a sunny beach on a cold February day!

Candy Hearts Romance!

For You by Emma Kaye

It's Valentine's Day, and candy heart sayings mock Drew Engledown's lonely state. He wants more in his life than work, but hasn't met anyone he can imagine spending his life with. When he puts his own life at risk to save a friend, he's sent back in time to Regency London and mistaken for a murdered earl. Has he been given a chance at love with the earl's beautiful widow, or will he suffer the same fate as the previous lord?

When her husband's heir lays claim to all she once owned, Lady Engledown is left nearly destitute. So she doesn't know whether to be relieved or angry when the earl returns but claims he's not her husband. Could he be telling the truth, or is he toying with her? She doesn't know what to think of this man who is so different from the husband she never loved. Can they find happiness together, or will this man she comes to love leave her worse off than before?

This is a fast pace, snappy time travel. Drew is a totally yummy hero and good husband material in the Regency or the present! His patience with Julia the heroine is touching and proves him a man of worth. Lady Engledown is truly one lucky lady!

Candy Hearts Romance!

Secret Admirer by Ally Hayes

Andi’s new to town and looking for a fresh start in the dating department. She’s attracted to the guy she sees each morning, but begins flirting via text with Garrett, a friend of her new co-workers. Despite many attempts and determination, she misses opportunities to introduce herself to Cute Coffee Shop Guy or actually meet Garrett in person. With Valentine’s Day approaching she succumbs to the sugar rush of Candy Hearts and when ‘Secret Admirer’ continues to appear in the messages, she takes it as a sign to decide which guy is her real Secret Admirer.

Told in the first person, this book really reminds me of the best of Chik-Lit from a few years ago, only with a big update. I read this fresh off of reading Aziz Ansari's Modern Romance and Ms. Hayes' use of texting as a way the characters communicate is right off the pages of his study. In other words, it's really the way 20 somethings do this these days. It's a quick fun read! I recommend it highly!

Candy Hearts Series

Chill Out, by Jana Richards

Renata Cabral needs to hide for the weekend. Her cousin’s Valentine’s Day wedding means she’ll face embarrassing questions from her large, extended family. Questions like “Why aren’t you married yet?” Since the breakup of her last relationship, she’s not ready to answer that question. She invents a work-related excuse and escapes to a friend’s lakeside cottage.

Noah Brownlee has been hiding for two years. But now he’s ready to come home and mend his broken relationship with his brother. When a friend offers the use of his lakeside cottage, Noah arrives in the middle of a blizzard with his English Mastiff, only to find the place is already occupied. With her big brown eyes and quirky sense of humor, Renata stirs feelings he thought long dead.

As the blizzard rages, the candy hearts predict love. Can Valentine’s Day work its magic between them?

This novella is a fun read and a great kick off to the Candy Hearts series from The Wild Rose Press! Both Noah and Renata are likeable and rootable, and totally deserving of their happy ending.

And there’s an awesome dog. The dog factor gets me every time ;-)
