I was really torn on what to rate this. I like historical fiction, but I normally stay away from anything WWII and beyond. I'm also not into sickly-sweet romance. It was an interesting juxtaposition between that and the events of Guernsey occupation during WWII. The characters were entertaining, but a little one-dimensional. I could tell you how it ended once the first letter came from Guernsey. If you want an easy, light read, and enjoy silly romance, this may be the book for you.
  
This is the second book in this series by this author. You are always guaranteed a fantastic story with this author. This book has a sexy cowboy who meets a feisty women, the chemistry between them is electric. This is a sweet christmas romance to warm your heart this winter. This story is well paced, the perfect transition from friendship to romance to lovers. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended christmas read.

SWEET HAVEN is sure to give you cavities, it is so sweet. But, do you know what? I wouldn't change a word. I was completely engrossed with Mr Grumpy Bear and his sweet klutz with a core of steel.

Both Garrett and Lee have been hurt in the past but that doesn't stop them. They have a hot and steamy romance that I loved! They deal with the hassle and troubles that head their way, while still helping others. I loved how Garrett gave Leeson the confidence and kitchen to perfect his own craft. Their antics in the 'professional kitchen' made me laugh out loud on more than one occasion.

They are ably supported by a great cast of characters that I can't wait to hear more from. We have to return to Sweet Haven, we simply have to!

If you are after a light-hearted, steaming-hot romance, then this is definitely the one for you, and I really can't recommend it enough!

This sweet story has it all; good versus evil, supernatural twists and the right amount of romance. The author's characters jump right out of the pages and sweep you right off your feet and the story line is well paced.

This is a sweet, little romance. It is part two of a three book series written by three different authors so all have their own quirks even if the characters are the same. I really enjoyed reading about Trip and Jaime but I have to say Petunia was my favorite. I finished this book with the warm fuzzies and a smile.

"For when you need to fall in love The Bridgertons are being turned into their own Netflix series. Julia Quinn is a master of witty banter, romantic tension, and sweet anticipation. Romance novels can be the most delicious mood lifters—and this is one of best of the best. Start with The Duke and I and feast your way through them all."

Putting this here early. This is for To Catch a Dream - #Contemporary #Romance, #FirstPersonPastTense

A new job and good friends, twenty-six-year-old Caitlin has it all. Strong, independent, and content with her life, Caitlin isn’t looking for love.

Smart, sexy, and sweet, Will Kendrick is everything a girl could want. He also makes Caitlin want things she was certain she could live without.

Life isn't always simple though, and Caitlin has decisions to make. Her ex-boyfriend, Andrew, is still hanging around and causing trouble. Not only that, but Cat refuses to choose between a new man and her two best friends.

With her heart on the line, Caitlin must decide if she's prepared to take a chance or play it safe.

To Catch a Dream is a sweet romance with sensual moments. There is also strong language.
