"If you love Hallmark movies, you will adore this book. It is a story of second chances for Juliette and Roman (you have to love the names). It's small town romance at its best!. It is sweet without being sugary. Every town should be so lucky to have a coffee shop where romance is only a cup of coffee away." Teri - Goodreads Roman Prescott has always lived his life in the shadows. Being invisible meant staying alive—during his troubled childhood and his years as a soldier. But when an injury sends him back to the small town of Fairhope, he can't hide from his past or the light brought forth by a beautiful pastry chef. Having lost her parents at a young age, Juliette Adams has had her share of tragedy, but now she fills her days making sweet desserts in her bakery and trying to recapture her happy childhood. Then she meets an attractive, brooding man, who is not only tearing down her old house but might just tear apart her fragile future. She's not interested in the tragic love story she was named after—she wants a love that will lift her up, that will last, and this sexy soldier has one foot out the door. They both know they should ignore the sparks between them, but Valentine's Day fever has lit up the town and old love letters and long-buried secrets keep bringing them together. Can these two wary souls get past their fear of loving and losing to finally win the greatest love of all? If so, what could be sweeter than that? From #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Barbara Freethy comes a poignant, and charming romance about going home, falling in love and finding yourself. What the readers are saying...

Marlene - Goodreads "A little mystery, a lot of love and laughter.SWEET SOMETHINGS a great book and I recommend it and any of Barbara's books. 5 STARS!" Nancy - Goodreads "Sparks fly and in true Barbara fashion suspense and mystery follow leaving a really sweet story that you will love." Mommymoose - Goodreads "If you are looking for a light feel good romance this book is it. I recommend reading this book for a cold day with a cup of hot chocolate, the perfect combination." Diane - Goodreads AUTHOR'S SWEET SOMETHINGS is a full-length standalone novel. But to add a cool twist, it's set in the world of a romantic movie called COFFEE SHOP that can be found on Amazon Video. Both stories (the book and the movie) take place in the same small coastal town, and some of the characters cross over. You can read/watch each separately without missing a beat, as they each have their own independent storylines, but if you'd love to check out both, you'll have even more fun!
