This weekend I finished reading Susan Mallery’s SWEET series. I read SWEET TROUBLE. This is Jesse and Matt’s story. We find ourselves 5 years later and all the Keyes girls have children. Jesse comes back into town to introduce her son to his family and more importantly his father. Understandably Matt is furious that Jess truly did have his son and kept him from him. He plans to take his revenge by taking away the one thing that truly matters to Jess, their young son. What neither of them plans on is the love between them from 5 years ago is still smouldering and growing everything day they spend together.

I loved revisiting the Keyes’ lives 5 years later. What I found a little annoying was to fin Nicole still bitter and angry with Jesse, she simply wouldn’t let it go even when she admitted she believed Jesse never slept with her ex-husband.  That quickly became annoying. What I missed was Raoul, he was the teen who showed up in SWEET SPOT. He made a quick appearance but not long enough in my opinion. I’m hoping that means he and Brittany will each get a story of their own whether it’s together once more or separate ones.

I made my way through the second Bakery Sister book SWEET SPOT by Susan Mallery. This book is about Nicole, the responsible yet often under appreciated sister. She raised her younger sister and resented her twin’s abandonment and success. In this book she gets over her divorce discovers what true love is really like and raises another teenager.

Love comes along into her life and his name is Eric “Hawk” Hawkins the local football coach. They start a relationship, a sham relationship of simply sex that grows into deeper and more complex feelings. Eric is a widow with a spoiled teenage daughter. He needs to learn to let go of his past and his dead wife and straighten out his daughter before she becomes someone no one likes.

While Nicole finds herself struggling with her feelings towards her younger pregnant sister. Along the way she takes in a young man who becomes part of her family and teaches her about trust.

I have to say I read this copy in days and ran to get the third book the day after it hit the shelves. I only waited a day because I hadn’t realized it had been already released. Otherwise I would have bought one the day it released. There are parts I had problems with such as Nicole’s anger. She seemed angry in the first book and her anger became stronger in this book. Did it go away by the end of the book? Not really because she hasn’t resolved her relationship with Jess, her younger sister. However she becomes a more confident woman. I truly enjoyed the book and have high expectation for the third book in the series along with sadness in reading the end of this wonderful trilogy.
