Description

Special education teacher Lucy Wheeler is sick of being taken for granted. Sick of people thinking that they know what’s best for her. And sick of being the sweet one. It’s time to break free from that role. It’s time for a do-over. But no matter what her best friend says, dating her ex-boyfriend, Reverend Curtis Campbell, is not the kind of do-over she has in mind. 


*   *   *


Although Lucy and Curt grew up together, they didn’t start dating until the end of their senior year of high school. Then once they went off to different colleges, Curt changed. He withdrew to the point that he almost seemed embarrassed to be with her. Curt was so preoccupied with being the perfect minister, Lucy never felt like she had his full attention, and when he stopped returning her calls, she convinced herself it was for the best.


Lucy Wheeler has haunted Curt Campbell’s dreams. When he ended their relationship in college, he told himself that she deserved so much more than he could ever give her—a comfortable life and a husband who would never have to make her take a backseat to his parishioners’ needs.


When Lucy corners Curt in the supply closet and informs him that she is forgiving him for dumping her and is giving him a second chance, he knows he shouldn’t take it. But when she orders him to pick her up that night, he can’t resist. 


Will things be different this time? Or will Curt’s ministerial duties come between them again?

"Sweet Girl Undone" is a very cute, sweet novella that I really enjoyed. Lucy is small town, she is a very nice person who is a special education teacher in town. Trouble is, she doesn't have good luck with men. She dated Curt, the minister in town, during college but he dumped her via text with no explanation. Four years later, he barely speaks to her and her feelings are still hurt.
Lucy brazenly decides she is fed up with being alone, her BFF points out that maybe Curt is still her guy and she asks him out. She is shocked when he shows up for their date.
Things get hot and heavy for them pretty quick. Lucy is falling in love, but knows their relationship may have an expiration date, he is going to work away from town on a mission for a year. Are her and Curt built to last?
Very sweet and cute small-town novella, I really enjoyed it and fans of romance will like it too.

Sweet Girl Undone is a mixture of sweet and innocent versus modern day girl. Lucy is a virgin and innocent, but not completely unaware. Once you read the book, you will see what I mean – very forward thinking.

Curt is now the pastor of Lucy’s church, but they avoid each other due to their break up by text during their college days. Both Lucy and Curt seem to be unable to forget about the other. Lucy instigates a second chance with Curt but does not let him off completely. She wants answers for what happened in college.

Especially since this is a novella, their relationship moves quickly, but not so much you do not get a good feel for how much they care about each other. Although Lucy and Curt get their HEA, there are some bumps in the journey. For a while, I did not like Curt's choices and what seemed like a man who took the cowards was out of the relationship. Took a while, but he finally got his act together. Lucy’s sweet nature does her credit with her forgiving heart, perfect for a pastor’s wife.

Denise Swanson brings together a creditable start for this series beginner packed in a novella. This is my first Swanson book, and I look forward to reading more of her work.

Lucy Wheeler has re-evaluated her life as a single special education teacher living in her home town. Since the love of her life, Reverend Curtis Campbell has returned home she has decided she's tired of being the sweet easy going girl she was and aims her sights on rekindling their love. Short, sweet and a quick sit down to finish, I'd recommend this to everyone.
