I loved this book! It was my most-anticipated of the series and it did not disappoint in any way.

Isn't it so cool that Britt is a chocolate maker? I would highly recommend that you have chocolate near you because of that. From figuring out recipes to Zander trying and naming ingredients in a chocolate, this book has sweet moments scattered throughout.

The character development was amazing and Britt really grew and learned that she does NOT have to be perfect 100% of the time and it is okay to lean on Zander and her family when she is struggling. That might not seem like much of a character growth to some, but once you 'get to know' Britt, you see what I mean.

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a sweet read.

My Review:

Genre: Romance, Christian fiction, suspense.

My Rating: 5 stars.

My Recommendation: 16 up for romance.

My Favorite Character/s: Zander! He’s a writer, (that’s kind of a duh moment for me… :D). And Britt! She makes chocolate, what better pair then a writer and a chocolateier? It’s the kind of a match made in chocolatey stories. I’m writing really stupid descriptions, aren’t I? Yeah, yeah, yeah, back to Zander, he’s a great guy; his care and love for Britt is soooooooooooooooo sweet! I do wish I had the ability to write as much as he does though. He’s the perfect fictional writer from a hard start in life.

My Verse for Zander is 1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. (King James Version.)

Britt, the wounded and independent Britt, I’m not sure where to start with her. She’s sweet in her own way (aka sharing chocolate,) and her fighting spirit was fierce!

My Verse for Britt is Luke 6:31
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise. (King James Version.)

My Thoughts: The cover is so pretty, if a bit sappy for my tastes but look at the beautiful colors and that dress so pretty! And the pages hidden under that cover are even better, I love the opening scene and I loved the whole book up until the last word, always . . . I love this book so much and I badly want to get my hands on a paperback, which is not something I want to do often for a romance because though I love a good romance I couldn’t care less if it’s Kindle or paperback unless I love the book! And I do soooooooooooooooooooooooo much, this book is soooooooooooooo good and I’m sure you’re done with me saying soooooooooo soooooooooo much so I’m done with my review. But before you go you should know this amazing book comes out today!!!!!!!!

I received this book in exchange for my honest review and I am truly happy to provide it — all the thoughts are my own.

I absolutely adored Britt and Zander’s story!! I mean what is not to love about a romance between childhood friends when one is a chocolate maker and one is a best-selling author! Plus, I was caught off guard by the mystery aspect of the story, but it totally hooked the suspense lover in me! This was definitely a five star read for me! ( )

I have not been in a particular hurry to read Becky Wade’s romances, but if they’re all as good as Sweet on You, I have lied to myself. I need to hurry and read the first two in this series, although Sweet on You stands alone well.
Zander Ford has finally made a literary name for himself, only to be called home to deal with lies.
Lies like... he could get over loving Britt Bradford, his best friend... like the uncle who adopted him was everything he claimed to be...life could just go back to normal after his uncle’s funeral.
I loved the fact that this tale was more than just a fluffy romance. There was real substance to the problems that were keeping Zander and Britt apart. Plus, there was a great (for the reader) mystery involving the true identity of Zander’s uncle. Zander turns away from God because God doesn’t answer to Zander’s liking in Zander’s timing. This is so like us humans in general. I was brought up a little short as I wished Britt would stop being so self-sufficient that she held people at arm’s length. I realized I often try to make it on my own, not accepting others’ help. That doesn’t make us look strong, just stubborn. Ouch. But this is the best part of Christian fiction- seeing something of myself in a character that needs to be changed to produce a better person.
I found a few quotes to love.
“Once, he’d been an orphan convinced he didn’t need saving. But then Carolyn and Frank had proved him wrong when they’d gone ahead and saved him anyway.”
“He reminds me of a Dickens orphan. Tragic and brooding and gorgeous.”
“So many lies. The revealing of them made Zander feel as though the foundation of this house might be torn in half at any second by an earthquake.”
”He was God’s son. A son full of mistakes. But a son, nonetheless.”
I received a copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley. This in no way affected my opinions, which are solely my own. ( )

Sweet on You went in a direction I never imagined and I loved it!

Side note – Bonus points to Becky Wade for mentioning The Masters Tournament in this book (which, by the way, is only 21 days away at the time of this posting!)
