Can a blind date
gone wrong with multiple do-overs gone wrong ever become a relationship gone
right?
About the Book: acclaimed
mechanic JoJo Wheeler thrives on the toughest of challenges when restoring
engines, she’s given up on dating and relationship challenges. Attorney Joe
Benton doesn’t believe dating is worth the effort anymore either. When both are
coerced into a blind date by their best friends, JoJo—the expert on giving
herself a fast out—insists on no dinner. With Joe prepared for the usual
first-date disappointment, he chooses a simple event—a sunset viewing on the
lake's shore. How could anything go wrong?
But,
it does, so they agree on a do-over. Despite several hilariously disastrous
do-overs, their connection continues to sizzle. JoJo knows her time in Laurel
Ridge is limited and returning home to Atlanta is inevitable. She’s not open to
long-distance love affairs, nor putting her business second to a love interest.
Plus, Joe is convinced he’s not one of those guys who will ever find the
perfect woman or the fairy tale end.
This
meant-to-be couple must overcome their cynical natures to find the happiness that’s
within their reach.
Our Review: We’ve all experienced a dismal first date/fix-up that
went sour. But three? Maybe four? And all equally hilarious. Stout knows how to
write compelling characters and make it look effortless. Plus, this last in the
series ties up each previous couple AND the mystery behind how the canary
yellow Bug ended up at the bottom of Whippoorwill Lake. It is simple, sweet,
character driven, and absolutely lovely. Do not miss this series. It’s a
wonder.
Based on a scale of 1-5, Sweet
Cravings merits a 7.
