Love Me Sweet by Tracy Brogan
4.0
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
