Miranda Liasson

The Sweetheart Fix by Miranda Liasson is a 2022 Entangled publication.

This is the second book in the Blossom Glen series. This installment is centered around Juliet Montgomery who achieves, then loses, her dream job of being a couple’s counselor, all in one day.

Ordered by her boss to fix her own issues with men after several close encounters with the marriage alter, Juliet puts her therapists’ skills to use by helping Jack, the town mayor, who needs someone to work out a few sweetheart deals for his patrons- something he’s not too good at- while he tries to save his grandmother’s land from greedy developers.

Jack is a man of action- not of words, which is why he needs help from Juliet. The problem is the two of them mix like oil and water. But that might be a good thing as neither one of them is looking for a relationship. While they agree on this head knowledge- their hearts seem to have a mind of their own…

This is a nice gentle romance about two people with opposite personalities who, despite their best efforts, end up falling in love with each other. There is a nice balance of humor, romance, angst, family and friendship- all of which are presented with a light and easy tone. The emotional topics are not very heavy, the banter is fun, and the story is a charming mood enhancer.

I read the first book a while back and really liked it, too- so I’m looking forward to reading the third book in the series, hopefully soon!
