I love Dash and Amber! She’s not this silly girl, fawning over the football star and he’s not this famous sports-playing jerk. And a main character who owns a bookstore … definite plus! I love Nana and all the “dirty grandmas” who semi-swoon over Dash, as well. This is definitely an entertaining book!
In the beginning of Sweet, Sexy Heart you think Dash is going to be this macho-jock. Very early on in the book, however, it becomes clear just how much Amber is affecting him. Even though Amber is the quiet bookworm, she can’t deny the attraction between her and Dash. I absolutely loved the sparks and the way their feelings couldn’t be hidden. A true love story!
To be frankly honest, this is the first book I’ve read with a main character who had epilepsy. Not only was it an entirely different point of view for me, but I loved how Dash went out of his way to learn about Amber’s medical condition and do his best to help her. Melissa Foster also shows that Amber is able to be a fairly “normal” adult, even though she has epilepsy. I got to learn about it, through Dash, and it gave Amber a depth that she may not have otherwise had. She wasn’t your classic damsel in distress.
On the line of damsels in distress, Amber is a character who embraces her femininity without having to be a damsel. She’s a business owner and a very strong individual. But never the damsel.
