Kind of interesting, but very unrealistic. I didn't really connect with any of the characters, so I don't really feel the desire to read any more of this series.

Love Me Sweet was such an adorable book. I'm really happy that I randomly found this series on KU and that I enjoyed it so much.

Okay, so this is the third and final book within the Bell Harbor Trilogy and it's about Delaney and Grant. Oh man, did I love these characters so freaking much. They were just an overall ideal and favorable couple. I have nothing bad to say about either of them. I also really liked how the romance developed between them at realistic level. There was no insta anything which made me like it even more.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. I'm really sad that the series is over.. unless there's going to be another book that I didn't know about?!?! Other than the novella.

Book two of K2 series by Tracy Brogan. Narrated by Emily Sutton-Smith.
This book is about Logan's sister Maria and his second in command Jake.
They have both been attracted to each other for year but Logan has threatened bodily harm to Jake 'Romeo' if he ever came near Maria.
Absolutely loved this book and how the characters dealt with Maria growing up and Jake starting to dislike his famous Romeo nickname.
Love the big brother trying to protect little sister.
Loved ending. Looking forward to Jamie's book with Sugar Darling.

I got this gem of a read from Netgalley. I’m new to Tracy Brogan and this one made a fan of me! The third in the Bell Harbor series,it can be read completely stand alone.Delaney is hiding out in the wilds of Michigan because her rat of an ex-boyfriend post a sex tape that he secretly took of them. *DOUCHE*. As her family is part of a reality show, she wanted to escape the media attention.*I get it, I do! But to run and hide is NOT my thing! He’d have been sued the second that tape came out!*

She meets up with Grant Connelly, a reality cinematographer, who just got dumped for his boss. Unfortunately, Grant’s mom takes Delaney’s bag full of hideout cash and makes a run for the casino.

Grant and Delaney are forced into a road trip and along the way all the mishaps lead them on an adventure and eventually to love. But you know, the whole hidden identity part catches up to Delaney and they have issues to work out. The Paradise Brothers ROCK!! LOVED Them!! I want to see Reggie’s story! That man deserves one!

This story had obvious slapstick tones to it but with the full-fledged characters made it sweet and funny. I’d definitely read another Tracy Brogan story! If you’re looking for a humorous read, this is the one for you!

DNF around 120 pages. 

I didn’t like the characters, or the whole plot with the leaked sex tape. I’m so over the double standard in literature and in reality. The way the MC thought about herself and the way her sister was “joking” her about the tape. Just…no. 

This one was not for me.

Third Bell Harbor Book - not too much Bell Harbor!

This was a sweet book. I liked the plot and development. I thought their travels together made this one a but more interesting than the others. This was another quick beachy read!

After her rat ex-boyfriend released a sex tape to the media, Delaney decides she needs to escape the scandal, the paparazzi that are hounding her, and the reality TV show about her celebrity family. She withdraws all her money, buys a beat-up old Volkswagen and heads for the middle of nowhere –– Bell Harbor, Michigan. She rents a ramshackle old house and settles in to ride out the scandal.

Grant is the cameraman on an adventure / reality show. That is until his girlfriend decides the star of the show is better for her career than a lowly cameraman. He quits and heads home to Bell Harbor. Only, when he arrives he finds out that his mother has rented out his house to Delaney, that Delaney paid the entire six months rent in advance, and his mother has already spent the money.

With very few options Delaney agrees to allow Grant to live in the house until he can get her money back. As the days go by neither can deny their attraction but Delaney is keeping her secrets, she knows that Grant loathes the Hollywood fakery and she is ultimate symbol of that.

Then when Grant's mom absconds with a satchel that has all of Delaney's money in it, they both set off in hot pursuit to catch her before she spends the money. And just when everything seemed to be going her way, reality comes crashing back and all her secrets are revealed.


Love Me Sweet is fairly typical contemporary romance. There are no real surprises in here. That said, at the moment there are only two authors of contemporary romance who are must reads for me. Terri Osburn and Tracy Brogan. They are very much the next generation of writers, and honestly if it wasn't for them I don't think I'd still be reading the genre.

So yeah, you've probably read something like this before, but Love Me Sweet still sparkles. It's great fun and entertaining.

Many thanks to Montlake Romance and Netgalley for providing me with this ARC

I was looking for a cheap easy read and found this on the Kindle store for a whopping $1.99. I needed a book to get me by until one of my other books became available at the library. What I didn't know I was getting was a super cute feel good love story. In the author's note at the end it said the main characters of the book were motivated by a desire to contribute to the greater good and that's exactly how I felt when I finished the book. Ready to go out and conquer by not just sitting on the bench but actually getting involved. Great book!
