Sweet Tea and Sympathy by Molly Harper
3.0
I liked this book for the most part. There were a few things that did not sit well with me. I thought the attitudes in the book were a little too stereotypical, too sweet sweet tea, hillbilly southern boys. I liked the main heroine, Margot, up to a point. She was the fish out of water, a northern girl put in the deep south. I thought she had a bit of a holier than thou attitude, looking down her nose at the southern folk. I did like Kyle, the main hero, he was a nice guy, a father to two little girls.
There was one situation were I thought went way over the line. With all the sexual assault accusations going on in the real world I thought the author would not have that in her book. Margot gets very drunk, where she can barely walk, and she sees Kyle at a bar. She goes to him and starts kissing him. They kiss each other and things lead to more things and they end up in his truck. The only thing he does is ask if she is ok with this, them having sex while she is drunk, and the only reason she stops is because her phone rings and she realizes she left her cousins in the bar. Ooops. So he was ok with having sex with a woman who is drunk. To me that is not ok. This is not how the hero of a romance should behave.
Margot had a nonexistent relationship with her father, and I think the author did a good job bringing this relationship to the point it did by the end of the book. As well as all the other relationships Margot had started. I loved the banter between Margot and Kyle. And how Margot thought the sweet tea was "liquid diabetes".
So I thought this book was pretty good, it just had a few issues that had me thinking if I was going to put it in the dnf list. I'm glad I finished it, I did enjoy it.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC of this book.
