Sweet on You in the much anticipated story by Becky Wade. We finally get Zander’s story. Some may consider it Britt’s story since she is the third sister in the series. Zander and Britt have been best friends since they were 14 and practically inseparable. Not surprising is that Zander has been in love with Britt since he was 14.
In addition, to their love story finding it place, they start researching the death of Zander’s uncle who was also his adopted dad. It was a fascinating mystery of whom he had been and why he did some of the things he had done.
An underlying theme of the book was thinking you have control. Britt didn’t ever want to feel or be vulnerable. She finally hits a brick wall and has to make the decision about who if anyone can she rely on.
Britt is not intentionally mean but I could not help but cheer for Zander and be frustrated with Britt at times.
I was thrilled that Nora and John also played a significant part in the book. They are one of my all-time favorite couples. They have their wedding in this book! If you have been reading the series then I definitely recommend that you read Sweet on You so you have closure for Zander and his love for Britt. If you have not read Nora’s story; YOU MUST. :)
sexual content - Kissing, hugging
violence - someone is shot (past), someone is kidnapped, someone is being followed

Sweet On You is divine. I absolutely loved every page of this amazingly sweet romance. One part art-heist mystery the other part a best-friends to lovers romance, Sweet On You captures everything that is so loveable about the Bradford Sisters Romance series and dials it up to awesome levels.

Britt and Zander have been best friends since they were kids. While Britt loves their friendship and frequently reminds her sisters that guys and girls can be just friends, Zander has romantic feelings for Britt that he has long kept secret. When Zander’s uncle dies in suspicious circumstances he returns from his year abroad and must face both the secrets of his uncle’s past and his feelings for Britt.

While some books need to come with a box of tissues, Sweet On You needs to come with a box of chocolates. Seriously, reading some of these scenes without a handy source of chocolate was agony. Oh, the cravings. Britt is a master chocolatier and that passion for food and her craft shines through every page. I loved the sweet moments Britt and Zander share in the kitchen, whether in real time or in fondly remembered flashbacks.

I loved that this contemporary romance novel was also part mystery. Zander and Britt work to piece together the clues of Zander’s uncle’s past and involvement in an art heist. They do some solid detective work and, despite the precautions they take, find themselves in a tight spot, which adds loads of suspense to the end of the book. I was intrigued by the mystery and enjoyed how it wove through and drove the plot, but I mostly appreciated how this gave Zander and Britt the perfect backdrop to explore their changing relationship.

I loved Britt’s voice -quirky, confident and slightly bossy- and how Wade so perfectly captures her character and brought her to life. She is by far my favourite of the Bradford sisters and her book is my favourite of the series - though they are all great reads. Each book in the series can be read as a standalone title, but it might make more sense to follow each sister’s journey chronologically through the series, as they all play such a big part in each other’s lives.

I love friends to lovers romance stories and Britt and Zander’s is very well written. Their friendship is so believable, so tangible in all the little things they do together, how well they can read each other, and how they support and annoy each other. Along with great romance, Sweet On You continues this series’ tradition of strong sisterly bonds, a close-knit community and fun, quirky characters.

I can very highly recommend Sweet On You. I absolutely loved this charming and adorable book.

The publishers provided an advanced readers copy of this book for reviewing purposes. All opinions are my own.

Loved this book! It was an amazing ending to a wonderful series! I very much look forward to future work from Becky Wade in the future!

Huge sigh. I loved this book so much.

I was already a fan of Zander from the previous books, but I really fell for him in this one. He is just such a good guy and so devoted it is hard not to love him.

I don't connect as well with Britt, but Wade is such a fantastic author that I still loved Britt even with little in common with her. But there was a scene toward the end that changed all that. And I connected with Britt on a whole new level.

This book was so much more than I expected. Wade could enter the romantic suspense genre if she wanted to! This book had a great balance of romance and also some mystery and suspense! I also loved all the fun tidbits of texts, notes, and letters in between the chapters.

It is probably good that there is no chocolate in my house right now or I'd eat all of it.

I don't want to spoil the book for anyone so I can't share my favorite part, but I'll say this... the part I loved the most was so well written and just proves why Wade is among my absolute favorite authors!

I received an advanced copy of this book through NetGalley. This is my honest opinion.

I have loved every book by Becky Wade. This one is an excellent reason why. Sweet On You had mystery, suspense, humor, and swoon worthy romance all tied up in a beautiful bow. Britt, the heroine, was an independent and fiercely loyal young woman who took the hero Zander under her wing in high school. Zander had loved Britt since he was fourteen years old. She had been clueless all these years. I got a little frustrated with her at times, but overall you had to love her and want to be in her inner circle. I loved Zander. He was a selfless, brooding, thoughtful, and fiercely loving young man. OH MY was he ever. Y'all the kisses! WOW! I am a romance lover and this was so stinking good. If you love romance and some suspense, humor, and chocolate, then you will love this book.
My favorite quote was from Britt's mom. "If He (God) leads you into something hard, then He'll provide the grace you need to bear up under it."
*I was given a copy of this book by the publisher. This is my honest opinion.

Such a fun addition to this series! I always love a good friends romance and I have been rooting for these two characters from the start. Becky Wade is always on my contemporary romance one-click list and that certainly won't change after reading Sweet on You.

Author Becky Wade has done it again in this third and final installment of The Bradford Sisters series! I've been waiting since book one for Britt and Zander's story, and it did not disappoint.

I loved Britt's confidence and energy, and Zander's quiet, deep, introverted personality, and the way he can't stop loving Britt, and... well I just loved Zander😍😂! And the romance between the two was beautiful!

There were more than a few 'laugh out loud' moments, blended perfectly with some deep and emotional scenes.

The only thing that I can say I didn't like about the book was that it was the end of a truly amazing series! I would have loved this series to continue a little bit longer😍💖📚. But all good things have to come to an end, and as far as endings go, this one was wonderful! I did, however develop a craving for peppermint truffels while reading Sweet on You 😉☺️.

This story, along with the rest of the series, will stay with me for a long time!

(I received a complimentary copy of this book through Netgalley. All opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.)

Great ending to the series . . . have really enjoyed the Bradford sisters series. Love that Britt & Zander finally had their HEA -- even if it was a long time coming!

Great Scott! I was so bowled over by the range of emotions flying between the privileged youngest Bradford sister Britt, who readers discover so much about throughout the story, and her tattooed, broody best friend Zander, who had everything in the world against him until he met Britt. Did I mention he’s been so in love with her since he was 15 that he embarked on a world tour so he didn’t have to watch her be with anyone that wasn’t him? Swoon! The progression of feelings as they solve a wild mystery and discover deep revelations about each other, peppered with snippets from journals, text messages, phone calls, and letters really brings the reader full circle. If I could give Sweet on You 10 stars, I would, and I’m super sad to bid farewell to the Bradfords. Have chocolate available at all times while you read this one!

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.

*I received this book from the publisher. All thoughts are my own and a positive review was not required.

What a way to end this fabulous series! I've been dying for Zander's story since the first book in the Bradford Sisters Romance Series. And although Ty Porter (from Becky Wade's book, Meant to be Mine) has been my #1 book boyfriend for years, Zander has dethroned him (Sorry Ty!). I enjoyed returning to the charming setting of this novel, as well as getting to visit with old friends from the previous stories. The faith elements were amazing and touching. The mystery and suspense were incredibly gripping. I was actually surprised at just how much I enjoyed that aspect of the book. I found myself reading late into the night, several nights in a row, wanting to see what happened next. But Zander. Ohmyword. Zander was really something else. Honorable, patient, caring, protective, devoted. *le sigh* This will be a story I’ll read again and again.

I'd read the other books in this series and was curious to see the conclusion, the baby Bradford sister and her story. The author writes with raw emotions, making you feel both the pain and the humor that the characters experience and allowing you to undergo transformations with them. In this novel, the characters have been together for several years, but need to make that final journey to coupledom. However, to do so, they have to overcome some issues from their past....a 'sins of the fathers on the sons' type of thing. At times you'll think you know how it will end and then there's a twist! But my biggest complaint about this book is how much chocolate I ate while reading it....it's pervasive...there's chocolate mentioned everywhere, and it makes you want some!

Oh my stars! What a phenomenal, unputdownable conclusion to the Bradford Sisters Romance series! I have loved all of Becky's books to date and have been anxiously anticipating Britt and Zander's story since book one! I am thrilled to say that Sweet on You was everything I had hoped for and more! I already knew I loved Zander and Britt and I was so excited to get inside their heads. Britt made a fabulous heroine, I found myself relating to her in several ways and it was a delight to watch her faith journey! And, Zander, oh my word! SWOON! His kindness and all the things he did and sacrificed for Britt were incredible, and never failed to make me melt! He is definitely one of my favorite heroes of 2019 so far!
Like always with Becky's books the humorous banter in Sweet on You was fabulous! I can't begin to count the number of times I laughed out loud while reading this book!
This book contains a few very suspenseful chapters, which is something that I wasn't expecting, but was super excited to find, and it was so well written that at any time Becky could easily crossover into writing romantic suspense with no problem at all!
Overall, I adored everything about this book, and loved every second of it with all my heart! I've loved the entire series and even though it's next to impossible to choose favorites, I think Sweet on You just may be my very favorite! This series is everything you could ever want in a Christian contemporary romance, if you haven't started them yet then what in the world are you waiting for?! I most highly recommend Sweet on You, I would rate it higher than five stars if I could! It has a permanent spot on my keeper shelf and is one of my favorite books of 2019 so far!


I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher. Which did not influence my review in any way, all thoughts and opinions are one hundred percent my own.

I DEVOURED this boom in an entire Saturday! I have been waiting and waiting for the last in the bradfors sister s trilogy to xome out and this book was worth the wait! Incidentally that was the theme of the entire book. I dont know if I have ever read such a beautiful romance. And I have read a lot of romance books in 37 years!! I just adored the love Zander had for Britt and,his patience and knowing that she was the only one for him. It gives this single girl hope!!!

What a wonderful conclusion to The Bradford Sisters Series. Let me just say that you will want to have ALL of the chocolate while reading this book so be sure to hit the store before you open to page 1. Becky Wade once again leads readers on a love story that goes beyond the main characters. Each of her stories includes the wonderful message of how God loves each of us. I didn't think I would connect with Britt nearly as much as I did and the lessons I learned from her will stay with me for quite some time. After finishing the book, I continued to stay in Merryweather mentally for the next week, unable to open another book as I pondered the truths within its pages. This book has a bit more suspense to it than the others in the series and it was so well done! And of course, there is Becky Wade's signature humor woven throughout the book that had me laughing out loud. It was an emotional ride, taking you from tears to laughter and back again (and even a couple of scenes that left you holding your breath!).

Becky Wade created a sweet and loving love story with Sweet On You. This story reminds me so much of the story of God's love for us. He has pursued each of us for years. God's love is shown in all his actions whether us humans want to see it or not. With Sweet On You, Wade crafted a love story between Zander and Britt that I have been waiting on since reading True to You. I really enjoyed the struggle internally for Zander. Most romances feature the hero as unrealistic and hopeful, but not to my liking. Something about Wade's creation of Zander struck realistically with me. She is one of the few contemporary romance authors that I enjoy. The plot had a mystery with a hunt for Zander's Uncle's past, and I liked that twist to the story too. Overall, Sweet on You by Becky Wade is a wonderful love story mirroring God's love for us. I enjoyed spending time with Britt, Nora, and Willow as well as their husbands. Fans of contemporary romance should pick this book and series up.

I received a complimentary copy of Sweet On You by Becky Wade from Bethany House Publishers, but the opinions stated are all my own.

I love all of Becky Wade’s books & Sweet On You is no exception. This novel focuses on the enduring friendship of Zander, who has loved candy-maker Britt since elementary school, and Britt, who has been Zander’s champion, companion, and protector over the years.

Their story is charming, sweetly romantic, inspirational, and real. The plot touches lightly on the wrongs and heartbreaks of this world—adults ruined by addictions, greed, and crime, and the neglected children who pay the price into adulthood. But the answers provided are simple and true:

“The God I’ve come to lean on understands me better than I understand myself. Ultimately, His timing was perfect.”

“I survived because I let God carry me through it . . . Here’s what I know for sure: You can rely on Him in the hard as well as in the easy. If He leads you into something hard, then He’ll provide the grace you need to bear up under it.”

I enjoyed the interactions of all the characters in Zander & Britt’s world. Though flawed, they are also big-hearted, loyal, wise, and funny. I wish my visit with them could have been even longer!

I can’t wait to add a copy to my classroom library, because my student readers value Becky Wade books as much as I do!

Entertaining, uplifting & satisfying! Don’t miss this great read!

Thanks so much to NetGalley & Bethany House for the opportunity to read this book.

Quotes I like . . .

“He had been unfaithful, and if God operated on human rules of fairness, then he would have no right to ask God anything. God would have every right to turn away and shut His ears to his pleas. But against all odds and all comprehension, God didn’t operate on human rules. He’d trampled fairness when He’d sanctioned the most unfair act of history—the crucifixion. Because of that, he had been made right with God. He was God’s son. A son full of mistakes. But a son, nonetheless.”

“His unfaithfulness couldn’t negate God’s faithfulness. Faithfulness was inseparable from God’s character.”

“Joy—deep, simple joy—pulled his mouth into a grin. He opened his arms and caught her with an oomph. Then he spun her around in the air twice. Carefully, he set her back on her feet, steadying her the way he always had emotionally. She hugged him tight, pressing the side of her face against his chest for several long moments.”

“And just like that, standing in the middle of Merryweather Historical Village and looking into her face without continents separating them, the biggest part of his soul—the part that had been missing for a year and a half—locked back into place.”

“Zander had a romantic, slightly heartbreaking, usually serious face. He could pass as either an nineteenth-century poet or one of those harshly handsome vampires from Twilight.”

“When you prayed for something every day and heard nothing but silence for more than a decade, it ground down your hope like corn into cornmeal. Zander had begun to wonder if God could still be good while denying him the one thing he’d prayed for most. Could he depend on a God who refused to give him what he’d waited years for? The right answer was yes. God was still good. God was still dependable. However, disillusionment had driven a wedge into his relationship with God. What had once been simple was now complicated.”

“I’ve traveled all over the world searching for things. Freedom. Experiences I can collect like shells from a beach. Culture. History. Learning. Writing inspiration. The more I search the world, the more certain I am that the person I love the most is right where I began. Everything I truly want can be found in my own hometown.”

“The love he’d extended to her was a sacred trust. She needed to handle it with extreme care. His parents’ love hadn’t proven trustworthy. He’d just lost his uncle. She absolutely had to prove herself dependable in this situation. In fact, she wanted to prove herself to be better than dependable. She wanted to make up for the pain she’d caused him in the past.”
