Susan's Review of Love Me Sweet by Cindy Kirk--Jackson Hole-- #11





Cinderella and Prince Charming don't only live happily ever after in fairy tales...

Sylvie Thorne doesn't consider herself a runaway fiancée. Okay, she did leave her fiancé, Dr. Andrew O'Shea, behind but logic told her it was for the best. She should have never accepted his ring. She was a struggling baker trying to rise above her humble beginnings and he was a Boston blueblood. It was obvious, at least to his family and friends, that they were an imperfect match.

When Sylvie bolted, she didn't leave a glass slipper for Andrew to find, only a simple text. She never expected him to follow her to Jackson Hole wanting closure.

Twenty-one days with Sylvie is all he asks. Three weeks for him to accept that they were never meant for happily ever after. Instead of proving how little they have in common, all the conversation and togetherness makes for a sweet reunion and has this prince-of-a-guy hoping fairy tales really can come true .




Sylvie Thorne Andrew O’Shea are featured in Cindy Kirk’s Love Me Sweet. I enjoyed this story of second chances and loved the author’s passionate descriptive voice.

Dr. Andrew O’Shea travels from Boston to Jackson Hole to seek out his former fiancé Sylvie Thorne. Andrew is devastated that Sylvie broke up with him via text and vanished into thin air. He can’t move forward until he understands why she ended their relationship. Loved the unusual plot twist—Andrew wants to immerse himself into Sylvie’s life to understand her. He hopes to find out that they are too different so he can move forward. The author does a fabulous job balancing the simmering passion between the couple, their need to be open and honest with each other and their need to belong.

Cindy Kirk is one of my go to authors because she creates captivating characters. Being together 24/7 worked for Sylvie and Andrew. Both of them were at an emotional crossroads –this drew me into their story. It was apparent that they cared deeply for each other—but was that enough to build a future? Loved the honest, often emotional conversations between the couple. Sylvie learned to trust Andrew and opened up to him about her childhood and her desire to belong, to be valued. Andrew understood that Sylvie expressed herself through her baking. Baking wasn’t a hobby for Sylvie—it was her passion. Andrew learned to trust Sylvie and he experienced a sense of freedom in Jackson Hole. He met other doctors in the community who shared his passion and he volunteered at a free clinic.

Love Me Sweet is an engaging, compelling second chance romance. Cindy Kirk writes a fabulous story for Sylvie and Andrew. Loved that both characters had the opportunity to become friends while their chemistry sizzled in the background. Loved that each chapter revealed a new clue, a new layer to their relationship. I rooted for this couple and wanted them to realize that their love for one and another was the icing on the cake!

The Best of Us by Robyn Carr - Audible edition

The Best of Us
by Robyn Carr
Audible Edition
☆☆☆☆☆
Every so often, a thing will make its way around on Facebook.
Someone will ask you to list your 15 favorite authors.
There are a lot of authors I like to read. But when I reply
on that FB thing, I generally list 4 or 5. There just aren't
that many that I will automatically buy. Or that will
absolutely make the time to read.
Robyn Carr is one of them.
 
I have never ever been disappointed in her stories.
To add to that, she uses Therese Plummer to narrate
her wonderful stories. I think she may be the best
narrator I have ever listened to.
 The Best of Us has been typical in that I did not want
it to end. I believe she could just keep writing and
writing these characters and this place on and on.
Generation after generation. And it would never
be boring. Not just Sullivans Crossing. Any of her
stories or places.
 
Dr Leigh Culver is a capable, smart, kind
independent woman. She was raised by her Aunt Helen.
Who is exactly the same. Both Leigh and Helen are sure
they can manage. Neither have any interest in marriage.
What kind of life is that? With no permanent strong
connection in love with another?
Can they leave themselves open to new possibilities?
Are either of them willing to turn loose of their heart?
Does the right man exist?
I highly recommend The Best of Us.
I hope you will enjoy the story however you go about it.
