A very heartwarming story that kept me entertained until show more the last page and wanting more! An amazing read by Rachel Hanna! show less

Sweet Tea and Wedding Rings by Rachel Hanna is a 2021 publication.

I have really enjoyed this ongoing novella series centered around Mia and her sister Kate, their love interests and Kate’s daughter. For some reason I thought this was the last installment- but was pleasantly surprised to find that there are at least two more after this one. Yay!

This installment, though I loved, loved, loved the ending, was not my all time favorite. I did love seeing Cooper and Travis getting along, I show more loved hearing from characters featured in previous episodes, and the introduction of new characters, but I felt the small town versus the big city monologues got a bit too heavy handed. The stereotypes on both sides of the coin were way over the top, nearly sucking all the charm about the story and creating a very tense atmosphere I wasn’t in love with.

Thankfully, even in such a short story, the author managed to steer things back towards the saga between the sisters and their significant others and their futures together and it ended on a very sweet note, even after all the vitriol.

So, despite the journey’s rocky road- I’m still all in on the series and can’t wait to see what will happen next at the Sweet Tea B&B. 💖 show less

She finds out that her husband has been unfaithful and is left to figure out what comes next for her. she ends up buying a beach house off the Carolina coast sight unseen. She finds out why it was such a good deal when she gets there and almost falls through the floor of the porch. Enter some interesting show more characters that live on the quiet island as well as Julie's estranged sister. The books ends with all characters happy for the time being, but there are definite signs of more to come in future books. The romance is very tame and suitable for young adults as well as adult readers. I enjoyed the book and will consider continuing on with the series at some point. show less
