Sweet Tea and Kisses: A Contemporary Romance Boxed Set by Melinda Curtis, Shanna Hatfield, Susan Hatler, Ciara Knight, Lucy McConnell and Jennifer Peel has something for everyone in down home and big city of Atlanta. Part of the Magnolias and Moonshine series but I had never read any of them. A couple of authors are also new ones for me, which is one of the best things about an anthology. Since this Southern girl loves a good glass of sweet tea this clean sweet anthology hit the spot on a hot relaxing day. The stories are varied and unique within the Southern setting. I enjoyed and like them all so it was hard to choose a favorite. A Kiss is Just a Kiss by Melinda Curtis a sibling determined to stop her sister’s wedding. I knew where this story was going, what I didn’t know was how much I wanted it to do just that. Taste of Tara by Shanna Hatfield with the cowboy and chef characters on a Southern planation. It is a wonderful, fun read. The Wedding Charm by Susan Hatler is a romance within a scavenger hunt wedding story. This enemies to truce to love is a romantic story for the books. I enjoyed the progress of the characters’ feelings who began the story still holding grudges against each other from their youth. Sassy Bride by Ciara Knight is a reminder to believer in ourselves and those who love us despite the naysayers. It Could Happen to Us by Lucy McConnell has lottery tickets, a cop, a waitress and an actor all rolled into one story. Hit and Run Love by Jennifer Peel has an officer of the law and a lawyer who are exs in a delightful second chance read as their paths again cross. One of my favorites because I really liked the characters which is not always the case with lawyers. |
If you love Romance, if you love the romantic side of the South then you’ll love and completely enjoy the Sweet Tea and Kisses Boxed Set of romantic stories. I had already loved and enjoyed The Wedding Charm by Susan Hatler and It Could Happen to Us by Lucy McConnell, The rest of the stories in this set were new to me and I had fun with and enjoyed every single one. Set in the same general location but not directly connected, these stories will bring interesting couples in unique situations together while they fight outside forces and sometimes themselves in their search for that happy ever after. It’s perhaps not totally fair, but my own personal favorite from these stories was Susan Hatler’s The Wedding Charm for its unique story line, but I enjoyed all of the stories and if you love Romance then I’ve no doubt that you will have fun with this boxed set as well. I’d highly recommend the Sweet Tea and Kisses Boxed Set for anyone who loves Contemporary Romance. Plus it’s a great price for the six stories in one place. *I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.* |

This is a collection of stories. A Kiss is Just a Kiss by Melinda Curtis. This is a sweet story, a crazy grandmother adds to the fun.o The Wedding Charm by Susan Hatler A sweet story. Sarah Carlton, Maid of Honor and best man Ben Atkins end up going on a hunt for a wedding charm the bride needs. Sarah had a childhood crush on Ben but he was never seen her like that and he doesn't seem to believe in marriage and it's ability to last. Some sweet and funny moments. |
Awwwww (have I used my quota of awwwww yet?) This is a collection of sweet (awww) and clean southern contemporary romances. This review is based on the ARC provided by the author and/or the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion. |
A wedding and a scavenger hunt give two long time enemies, the chance to make things right in Susan Hatler's feel good romantic comedy. He's the jerk that sabotaged her high school science project. She's the girl who could always push his buttons. A much in demand wedding charm and a matchmaking grandma spell trouble for this long feuding duo. Ms. Hatler knows how to have fun and it shines through in her heartwarming stories. The Wedding Charm is a wild ride. |
