Listen closely. Do you hear that? It is my heart just pitter pattering away over Will Ryan ;) Talk about S.W.O.O.N.Y. to the nth degree, and I didn’t think it was possible for him to get even more adorable!
...Trust her judgment. She put me through a year of torturous hell, and she trampled on my heart at least fourteen times just to make sure we were right for each other.
This is a very worthwhile novella to “Sweet Thing” and is told in Will’s POV. I totally enjoyed spending more time with Will and Mia.
It is like a 120 page epilogue of pure fun!

… it’s not where you go on this journey but who you’re with that matters the most
I am afraid this one was a bit of a disappointment for me. I really liked the first book and maybe the expectations were too high.
Will and Mia are together and happy so this is their journey. Had some music references that I love but there was something missing from this one that made the first one so good for me.

5 I LOVE WILL and MIA TO THE MOON AND BACK STARS!!
This by far is one of my most favorite novellas ever! Renee Carlino has done such an amazing job of bringing us back into Will and Mia's lives. It was so much fun to catch up with these two.
Having this novella told mostly by Will was simply music to my ears, pun intended. Sweet Little Thing had me laughing, tearing up and I’m not going to lie, some of the sex scenes were HOT!
We catch up with Will and Mia adjusting to their new life together. Both Will and Mia have grown and they are ready to face everything together. Will is still that sweet, sexy, funny and genuine guy and Mia, well she has changed quite a bit. She is still beautiful, sweet and sexy but now she is at peace with her relationship with Will. Her inner light is shinning a little brighter.
Will and Mia are working together to get Alchemy Sound Studio off the ground, planning their wedding, training their puppy June and looking forward to the next little piece of heaven they have been given. The love Will and Mia have for each other is precious. It is that simple kind of love, one that you don’t come upon to often. They are in their own happy place in life.
It was fun to get a peek into Will and Mia’s real world. They are just so passionate about each other, their music, their friends and their family. They are so in sync with each other it is a bit scary but I mean that in a good way. The words they share and the ease they have with each other is so apparent. You will just fall in love with them all over again.
I loved Will’s humor. Some of the things he would say or do just cracked me up. He loved to make Mia laugh but he also did it to ease her worries. Whether it is about Juney or something more else he always knew when to brighten up her thoughts. Mia does the same for Will. But for her, she was a little sex kitten! Mia was rather risqué and quite sexy. Will is one lucky guy and he knew it.
There were so many precious moments between Will and Mia in this Novella that I was highlighting like crazy. We get more of Martha which was great. She is always there for Mia. Jenny and Tyler were back too with their funny shenanigans. And one of my favorite parts is the wedding. It was perfect. Simple just like whom they are. Mia was simply beautiful.
It was Mia’s voice that we get at the ending this novella and what a perfect way to end Will and Mia’s story. I.LOVED.IT! Thank you Renee Carlino writing such a wonderful story!
Here is a just a few of my favorite quotes:
“Mia, I promise that I will never stop loving you, laughing with you, playing music with you, crying with you. I promise I will never stop dancing with you and cuddling you and bringing you chocolate and wine. I'm yours forever and I choose you to be mine.”
“Will, your love is so pure and real that I can feel it in your fingertips when I touch you. I can see it in your eyes and the way you simile at me. I’m so in love with you because you are the most genuine, kind and loving human being I have ever met.”
“I strained to listen to the sound I’ve heard so many times before when I’m in Mia’s presence. It’s quiet, but if I tune everything else out I can hear it. It’s the divine sound of my soul. It’s the sound I hear when I know everything is right in my world.” ~Will
“Surrendering to this crazy thing called life is hard, but we don’t have to be the soulless sheets of paper tarrying along in the wind. We can find our people, love, respect the, and then hang on for dear life because it’s not where you go on this journey but who you’re with that matters most.” ~Mia
And finally…I loved Will’s prayer!

4 - 4.5 Sweet Little stars!!!
If you’ve read Sweet Thing, then you know how incredible Will Ryan is. Sweet Little Thing is a novella completely from his perspective. It reads almost like an extended epilogue to Sweet Thing.
Will and Mia are together and happy. They are making music and living life to the fullest.
Things couldn’t be better for this couple. They are happy and in love, and now a sweet little surprise is coming their way.
What I LOVED about this. Surprisingly enough, I loved Mia. That annoying, emotionally insecure woman we met in the first book is gone. She is strong, steady and with Will no matter what. I was so pleasantly surprised with how much I liked her in this novella.
Then there is Will Ryan. Mia describes his perfection effortlessly.
I loved Will in Sweet Thing, and I loved him even more in Sweet Little Thing. He is just the perfect book boyfriend. Passionate, sweet, sensitive, sexy and musically talented. He has it all.
Overall, this was a wonderful ending to Mia and Will’s story. Fans of the series should definitely pick it up!
Oh- and I LOVED this part :

"When we were together, kissing and touching, it was like playing music. She always knew what move to make, like she was subconsciously counting beats from a sheet of music. We were always so in sync that it felt like we'd been together for centuries, but in a good way. I was convinced we had lived twenty thousand lives, and in each one, we had found each other, like two tiny magnets in a drawer the size of the universe. She and I fit and moved together with such ease, I couldn't imagine ever being with anyone else."
Oh- and I LOVED this part :

5 Sweet Little Stars.
This short story show us the life of Mia and Will after the end of the first book. After all the drama from the first book now he have the chance to see their wedding, the training (or the failing process) of their new dog, June and see them starting a family.
It was a delightful reading.
Rating: 5 stars.
Storyline: An adorable story to read and a much deserved ending for the readers who loved the first book.
Writing Style: Will’s POV. And well, the guys POV is always better. Always.
Character Development: I loved Will as much as in the first book, but what was really great? Mia didn’t annoy me at all and I even liked her a lot. I call that a win.
Steam: Hot.

LOVED IT!!!
I sit here with a big ole dreamy smile on my face and it's all because of Will Ryan... that man became one of my all time favorite book boyfriends in the first book in this series, Sweet Thing. In this follow up novella, Will completely anchored himself as a keeper on my favorites list. I completely love all things Will... I mean jeez.. just look at him!!!
Renée did a really neat thing with this novella.. the majority of this book takes place between the end of the last book and the epilogue. Those of you who've read Sweet Thing, remember when Lauren saw Will and Mia walking down the sidewalk in the epilogue, and what she was seeing when she looked at Will and Mia? Well most of this book is everything that happened between the ending and that part.. then the rest of this book is a a lot of awesomeness that happened after that moment. I love how this was done!!! Another great thing is that this novella was entirely from Will's pov ( until the epilogue).. and I loved being inside his head with his thoughts. His unquestionable devotion to Mia was a thing of beauty.. His love was unwavering and she sat on his highest pedestal.
I watched her intently. All the sounds around me went away. It was quite, but I could hear something. I strained to listen to the sound I've heard so many times before when I'm in Mia's presence. It's quiet, but if I tune everything else out, I can hear it. It's the divine sound of my soul. It's the sound I hear wen I know everything is right in my world.
Mia..she grew up so much from the angst machine she was for most of the first book... her devotion and love for Will is clear and she makes him so incredibly happy.. They are absolutely perfect for each other in every single possible way imaginable. They are sweet and caring, they are the other half to each other....and they were sexy!!
Her beauty took my breath away and the way she moved and the music- I was about to come undone.
Her movements were so graceful and seductive, like she had been stripping for years.
She turned to face me as she straddled the bench. With her legs spread,totally exposed, she pointed her finger at the glass and summoned me. It was my beautiful, lovely Mia, sitting there wearing nothing but her heels, waiting for me to take her.
I'm so sorry to be saying goodbye to this couple! I can only hope, that maybe Renée will be kind and maybe give us a little check in with them down the road somewhere... maybe a Christmas special??!! Such a great couple and a beautifully told story with an incredible HEA... LOVED IT!!!!

In book one Sweet Thing, we were introduced to Will and Mia's musical love story story about discovery, friendship, taking chances forgiveness and love. The writing was raw, rhythmic, poetic and I found myself continuously moved by the inspirational dialogue.
My review of Sweet Thing (Sweet Thing, #1)
here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show..."There was this invisible string connecting our souls and it was as though we could feel each other tug on that string when we were hurting. .”
Sweet Little Thing is a heart-warming conclusion of Will and Mia’s fairytale ending. This novella gives us a sneak peak into what they have been up to since Sweet Thing and it left me with a *happy sigh*. Mia and Will are doing what they both love. However, there are few suprises that unexpectedly pop up and the choices they make prove just how far they have come and the depth of their love for each other.
The story is written in Will’s point of view, which allows us into his naughty sexy mind. This entertaining novella is filled with humour, musical quotes and some “sexy times”. This was the perfect wrap of Mia and Wills story.
Another great read by Renee Carlino!
“Your love is so pure and real that I can feel it in your fingertips when I touch you. I can see it in your eyes and the way you smile at me. I’m so in love with you because you are the most genuine, kind, and loving human being I have ever met.” She leaned in and whispered, “And you have nice abs.”
"Better get used to it, Sweet thing."

Mia and Will made it through Sweet Thing. But what happens now that they found their HEA?
Mia was my top 3 most annoying heroine ever (and the list is long!!) so it was lovely to read this in Will's POV. Mia was more tolerable here, I guess she couldnt have got any worse.
I think if you are a fan of book 1, this book is not to be missed. Will was still so swoon-worthy and it was the perfect conclusion. When the book ends the way it did, how can I rate it anything less than 5 stars?!

In Sweet Little Thing, Will and Mia have come a long way since they finally got together in Sweet Thing. I say finally because Mia put us through the emotional wringer as she struggled with letting of her baggage. But alas, she does come to her senses. Mia is a still a tough cookie but is more carefree and shines with happiness these days. Will is still my charming, quirky, sweet, and sexy man and he is even happier now that he and Mia are solid.
"I was convinced we had lived twenty thousand lives, and in each one, we had found each other, like two tiny magnets in a drawer the size of the universe. She and I fit and moved together with such ease, I couldn't imagine ever being with anyone else. " - Will
Will has opened a recording studio where he and Mia write and sing music. Mia is still running the café her father left to her. They’re planning their wedding. And training they’re puppy, June. Without saying too much else, there is a sweet little twist in the story that made my heart smile. Things are about to cha cha change for them. With everything going on in their life, they continue to be happy and in love with one another, even as life throws them curveballs.
Let me count thy ways I love our amazing hero, Will. *blows Will a kiss* I was on cloud nine reading this novella (almost entirely) from Will’s POV. I loved being inside his head. He has so much passion and love for Mia that I could feel it through Renee Carlino’s lovely words. Will, with his quirky sense of humor, kept me smiling or laughing almost the entire time. He’s also super smart and stubborn when it comes to the music he creates. One of my favorite things about Will is that he remains true to himself.
There are a few serious moments during the story but mostly it remains light without a whole lot of drama. The many heartfelt and adorable moments between Will and Mia made me feel all warm and gooey inside. I even got choked up a couple of times. And let me tell you… There are many, many delicious sexy times between Mia and Will. I remember fanning myself during one very memorable steamy scene when Will got his world rocked by Mia. Wow-wee! We also get to visit with Jenny, Tyler, and Martha, who all make an appearance in this story – which I thought was a lot of fun.
This novella really was the sweetest little thing. Oh how I missed Will and Mia. It was good see where their life had taken them after Sweet Thing - which made my list of 2013 favorite books. For me, Sweet Little Thing is the perfect companion novella and perfect ending to Will and Mia’s amazing, magnificent love story. Really, just a fabulous short story you don’t want to miss.

This is the extended epilogue that you never knew you needed. And in Will's POV...definitely a win-win!
It basically starts off where Sweet Thing ended and right into planning the big event with a lot of help from Jenny and Mia's Mom, of course.
There's also a lot of activity in the studio - although I was a little apprehensive with some of the clients coming from the Live Wire label and for good reason. I still think it was something Will needed to go through.
With the news we found out at the end of Sweet Thing, Will and Mia start living with that. It's all full of up and downs. I did have to laugh at Will's far out reactions to some things. Thankfully, everything works out.
I LOVED the epilogue...indeed, everything does work out.
(No longer free but maybe it will come around again...)

Aww... it's SO good to meet up again with old friends, and that's exactly how I felt once I picked up this novella.
Oh how I missed Will and Mia!
I missed their passion, hunger for life, loyalty to one another and their friends, and their incredible humor and bantering!
In this story we see a more mature Will & Mia. They're living their lives the way they want to. Will has opened his recording studio and is still writing music, and Mia is running the café her father left her.
They're also planning their wedding.
Without giving away any spoilers, I just want to say that Ms. Carlino did a fantastic job of writing this story and it's characters.
There are so many amazing 'moments' in this short little story, and most of them are from Will's perspective.
A few of my favorite quotes
"We can't control everything; we can only do our best to control our reactions when life doesn't go our way." - Mia
"Marrying her was not for me to claim her as mine. Marriage is about the other person. I thought about that for a long time, watching as she slowly made her way down the street with June in tow. By marrying her, I would be promising to let Mia grow more fully into herself and become even more beautiful while I sat by watching, only getting involved when she tugged on those invisible strings connecting our souls. Mia would not be my wife to fulfill some need to occupy a void. Calling her my wife just meant that I would always get a front-row seat to her beauty as long as I cherished and respected it." - Will
"When we were together, kissing and touching, it was like playing music. She always knew what move to make, like she was subconsciously counting beats from a sheet of music. We were always so in sync that it felt like we'd been together for centuries, but in a good way. I was convinced we had lived twenty thousand lives, and in each one, we had found each other, like two tiny magnets in a drawer the size of the universe. She and I fit and moved together with such ease, I couldn't imagine ever being with anyone else." - Will
""Are you ready for your bath, mama?
"Will, please do not call me that."
In the tiniest, scariest, robot-baby voice I chanted, "Mama, mama, mama, mama," as I followed Mia into the bathroom.
"Stop, Will."
"Better get used to it, sweet thing."
Once again, congratulations Ms. Carlino for another great story!

First of all if you haven't read Sweet Thing, stop what you are doing, and go read it. It is one of my all time favorite books. I absolutely adored Will. I forgive Mia for being indecisive and judgmental of Will. She was trying to find herself and deal with the death of her father. I can not recommend Sweet Thing enough. It was just as amazing the second time I read it.
This novella picks up where Sweet Thing left off and tells us what happened to Will and Mia. We get to have a glimpse of their happily ever after. Will has just taken Mia back and showed her their future, a recording studio where they can create music together.
He also introduces her to the new love in his life. June Carter Cash. June provides some seriously funny comic relief.
They embark on their life journey together. Mia is living her dream. Will is helping an up and coming artist record a new album. There is a wedding to plan and they have to navigate the political waters of keeping friends and family happy.
Will provides many more swoon worthy moments.
Mia, well she seems to have gotten her act together. She is all in and she and Will are ready for whatever comes their way.
But are you ever really ready?
"I was convinced we had lived twenty thousand lives, and in each one, we had found each other, like two tiny magnets in a drawer the size of the universe. She and I fit and moved together with such ease, I couldn't imagine ever being with anyone else. "
Life is hard. Will and Mia are challenged just like anyone else would be.
But they aren't the young couple from before. Gone are they days where they are unsure of themselves and their relationship. They are rock solid and they will get through anything... together.
This was the absolute perfect icing on the cake to this amazing story. I am so grateful that Will kept whispering in Ms. Carlino's ear that his story wasn't finished. The writing is absolutely outstanding. The dialogue was flawless and the charters continued to grow and develop.
It is told almost exclusively from Will's point of view. I had a few laugh out loud moments. Will's mind is a scary place! (I mean that in the most kind of ways Will.) He is also just as incredibly sensitive and romantic as I imagined him to be.
Mia has grown up so much. She has embraced who she is and she is ready for her life to start. That doesn't mean that she doesn't have her moments, but she is so much more sure of herself. She and Will make and amazing couple.
Will is in my top 5 of all time, book boyfriends. Yes ladies, he is. that. good. He is one of the most amazingly wonderful and romantic characters. He is just so pure and real. He is not only an amazing guy, but he has rock hard abs, and he is an extremely talented musician. Oh, and did I mention that he is patient almost to a fault? I LOVE WILL RYAN! And, I love, love, love Sweet Little Thing. I hope you do too!
5 stars!

Sweet Little Thing is 1.5 after Sweet Thing. I loved Sweet Thing. I remember loving, Will so much that it was one of my favorites last year. That being said, I was really excited when I found out there was going to be a 1.5 book and it's in, Will's POV.
We are in Will's POV, he shares about his and, Mia's life is right now. I was happy to have them back. I don't know how long it has been since I read Sweet Thing because it seems like I forgot how they are in a way. Just the way their everyday life is and the way they talk in a way maybe. I felt it was pretty cheesy in a way with, Will. Some things that him and, Mia talked about or just said was kind of "OKAY" Yes I enjoyed it in my own way, but for some strange maybe it's just me I didn't feel that spark that I felt when reading Sweet Thing . I had myself thinking was this the way they were acting in the last book. I don't remember, Will being this way. It might be me. Who knows. But I did like seeing how their life has grown from Sweet Thing . Life does not always go by plan and they grew more in love then the last book. This is a short book, it's not very long but gives you enough. I am happy I read it.

A perfect Novella for those needing another healthy, super sweet dose of Wilbur and Mia — especially after the angst of Sweet Thing. Renee's books will forever have a home on my book shelf.
“I was convinced we had lived twenty thousand lives, and in each one, we had found each other, like two tiny magnets in a drawer the size of the universe.”

Reviewed on: Ashes Books & Bobs.
Ok, I lied. Technically I finished my Renee Carlino binge with Sweet LITTLE Thing, rather than Sweet Thing. This is the companion novella that takes place immediately after Sweet Thing ends. I actually bought this paperback years ago mistakingly thinking it was the first book. When I realized it would have to sit on the shelf awhile, I was quite bummed out.
This was the perfect companion to the previous book because it gave me the answers I was desiring at the end of Sweet Thing. It was fun to catch up on where life had taken Mia and Will, with the addition of a family. Their relationship is always fun to experience and it was great to see how their friendship with Jenny and Tyler had grown as well.
There were a few minor inconsistencies related to Will’s career in this novella, but I still enjoyed seeing what became of his musical talents and the life he made for his family.

...which is exactly how I saw this book.
Returning to this verse, these character's is like snuggling in your favourite jumper, or putting on your fluffy slippers, or drinking a hot cuppa cocoa on a cold night, or banging out your favourite song... it's your favourite thing. It's a comfort, just like this is to me. I never want this verse to end. Renée writes magic, never stop, hun ;)

“I thought about every mundane moment that makes up that gray area of a person's life. It's the hour or two a day that you clean your kitchen or watch TV or do the laundry. All my gray moments with Mia were colored in: chasing her around the Laundromat, spraying water on her from the kitchen sink, or messing around with her on the couch while we spent whole days watching reruns of The Office. I looked forward to the rest of my life, even if the rest of my life only consisted of the humdrum day-in, day-out bullshit, it didn't matter because Mia turned the most unremarkable moments into moments I cherished.”❤️

This was okay, and I liked how both Mia and Jenny ended up getting pregnant around the same time. Something that bothered me was how the characters ended up acting like they weren’t adults. I couldn’t even tell if they were in high school or if they were grown adults who were in their mjd to late- 20s 30s.

Wilbur is perfection!
March 13, 2014
I received an advanced copy of Sweet Little Thing from the author. I'm humbled and now give you my honest opinion on this sweet little novella.
One thing that leaves many of us die hard readers with a romance book hangover is that often we see the struggle our main characters go through to get to each other. This can take place across many books or in some cases, just one. If it’s a great book, a first time author’s release, you want more and often you have no idea if there will be anything to come.
I was bereft at the end of Sweet thing ONLY because I wanted to know more – we had a glimpse of where Will and Mia would end up, but there was a gap in the story that needed to be filled . How did they get there (see Sweet Thing Epilogue)? In Sweet Thing, watching them as roommates we thought we could see how Mia and Will would be as a couple and the joy I experienced knowing Mia finally got it was enough to make me happy. And then…Renee, missing Mia and Will herself, gave us the rest of the story.
Potential SPOILERS AHEAD…I can’t write this review without them.
In Sweet Little Thing, we land right into the coupledom of Will and Mia – and boy they are a delight. They have developed all the quirky, odd, fun routines (a.k.a. naked dinner)that couples create as part of connecting to each other. They are finally together in love, and in the music business together and creating their future.
In Sweet Little Thing we can finally get to know Mia when she is NOT fighting herself. While she had many of us HIGHLY frustrated with her in Sweet Thing, now we get to see her as the partner to Will she was meant to be; relaxed, confident and able to enjoy being in Wills life and being loved by him. What struck me most in Sweet Thing is that she just didn’t seem to accept that Will could love her the way he did (never mind her preposterous notions of success). I’m convinced that we finally see her this way because this is how Will has always seen her (or at least what he thought of as her she potential to) and this book is from his POV. Renee did an amazing job making sure that as readers we got to see Mia this way.
Now for Will and his POV. I could not love Will Ryan more – I’m not alone I know. He is one the most down to earth & genuine male characters in current romance reads. Oh he had his silly, almost douchebag moments in Sweet Thing (piggyback thing with Teeny, ick), but we always knew that he was a true gentleman, true to his art, and true to love.
Sweet Little Thing doesn’t provide for much angst – THANK YOU – I didn’t need it with them. We went through enough in Sweet Thing. Sweet Little Thing gifts us with glimpses of Will and Mia as they go through the all-important wedding (a party I really I wished I could have experience IRL) and the unexpected leap expanding upon themselves as a family. Sweet Little Thing closes the gap for us and left me happier with a story than I’ve experienced in a long while.

Sweet Little Thing 5 stars!
Seamlessly beautiful, sensually breathtaking, I couldn’t stop reading the melody of words brilliantly crafted by one of my favorite authors, Renee Carlino. I fell in love with Sweet Thing and Renee sealed the deal with Sweet Little Thing. Her writing style is modern and fresh, reinvigorating my interest for a great love story. Renee’s methodical and solid plot structure fused with sound character development crescendos vividly causing me to crave the staccatos and ache for the legatos of Mia and Will’s world. The robust tone of secondary characters had me wanting to dance with Martha and sing Karaoke with Jenny and Tyler. Some say music is the key to the heart, well if that’s the case; Will and Mia have found the key to my heart and now they reside down where the song of love beats feverishly. Bottom line Mrs. Carlino, thank you for creating characters I fell in love with as I danced to their beautiful music. Sweet Little Thing is a must read companion novella to Sweet Thing. 5 stars!

I just read Sweet Little Thing, the companion novella to Sweet Thing, which if you ignore the epilogue at the end of Sweet Thing, follows pretty much directly afterwards. It’s essentially a short little snippet of the marriage and first pregnancy for Mia and Will – this wasn’t a spoiler as you learn this in the epilogue of Sweet Thing. Unlike Sweet Thing which is narrated by Mia, Sweet Little Thing is narrated by Will. What’s the difference? Just sex in every chapter to be honest. It’s always weird reading books where they swap the narration, as the characters can sometimes lose coherence. I can’t decide whether this was the case or not.
This was a super short fluff of a book, written to essentially rush and tie up the relationship that was slow burning throughout the duration of Sweet Thing. I’m actually inclined to say I enjoyed this a little bit more than Sweet Thing because stuff actually happens and it’s half the size!!
This definitely had way more inconsistencies. For example, Will wakes up one morning to the sound of Mia experiencing morning sickness, and they talk for a bit, blah blah blah; and then Will says something like Mia is going to brush her teeth for the tenth time today. Erm, how would you know if this was the tenth time she’d brushed her teeth? You woke up to her being sick, and her head has been over the toilet ever since? I mean, it’s not important, but it’s the little things, and this happens a lot. Or like Will is talking about one thing, and then among the dialogue it has suddenly been 5 hours or something, and you’re like, how the hell did that happen!? Actually, it happens even in this same scene! He wakes up in the morning but somehow Mia has been throwing up continuously for hours as it’s now 1pm? I don’t know.
Again, all the other characters in the book bring nothing to the plot or even their own personality, except perhaps the doctor who performs Mia’s ultra-sounds. And even then, Will talks about how the doctor literally has no personality! Ah well. It’s that feeling again of I did enjoy this, have no regrets reading it, and it’s not bad; but just wasn’t anything special either. I’m probably glad I read this on Kindle Unlimited, because I think I would have been disappointed if I’d actually paid for it.

I was so excited to be given the chance to read Sweet Little Thing, and even happier to be back with My Will (yes, MY!). I absolutely loved Sweet Thing; it was a 5 star read for me, and My Will remains a favorite book boyfriend of mine.
Sweet Little Thing was everything I wanted it to be and more. I was happy with where Sweet Thing ended, but when you love a story that much, you're always left wanting more. I loved My Will and Mia's story, and wasn't ready to let go of them quite yet.
This story begins right where Sweet Thing left off. My Will is still the patient, sexy, funny, and neurotic man we know him to be. I just adore him. I admit I wasn't the biggest fan of Mia in Sweet Thing. She definitely made me a little crazy; I often wanted to shake her and make her come to her senses. I am happy to say she has definitely gotten her act together, and is in a really good place now. My Will and Mia are happy, and have really grown as a couple. They're living their dream with their new recording studio, and are ridiculously in love. This story is full of quiet and sweet moments, hilarious moments, heartwarming and emotional moments, and of course, steamy moments too.
I loved this novella! If you haven't read Sweet Thing, DO IT NOW! If you've already read it, then you'll definitely want to read this. I know you'll love it too! Sweet Little Thing has left me so happy and satisfied where this amazing couple ended up.
I just have to mention the cover....I love it! It's gorgeous, and so perfect for this story.
Add this to your TBR ladies! Release date is March 4th!

More Reviews Here: Readers Live A Thousand Lives
GUYS THIS BOOK! If I didn’t already love Will Ryan with all my heart, then this book would have sealed the deal. I’m pretty sure my heart had to grow to make room for me to love him more. This was the perfect little follow up to Sweet Thing.
I don’t know how I didn’t realize this sooner, but when I opened the book I was shocked to see it was from Will’s point of view. I then proceeded to do a happy dance because I adore his brain. It is so funny and sweet and OMG does he love Mia! I love that he is such a romantic but he still his silly self. He is one of the best book boyfriends in the history of forever. Actually, I think Will Ryan falls into the category of book husband, because once you get Will you do not want to let him go. I loved watching Will and Mia complete their happily ever after.
I think I actually liked Sweet Little Thing even more than Sweet Thing, which is weird because this wouldn’t exist without Sweet Thing but hey whatever, my brain is weird. I think though this is because Mia doesn’t step on Will’s heart a million times during this novella and also because I really enjoyed reading from Will’s point of view. Plus, I am such a sucker for a happily ever after and basically this novella is everything you imagine happens when you normally finish reading a book; except with this novella you get to see it! I can’t even begin to explain how much I adored this novella and it will for sure be one I read over and over again.

Mini review anche sul mio blog insieme a quella di "Sweet Thing":
http://pleaseanotherbook.tumblr.com/p...
Visto che ci sono vi presento anche la novella sequel, “Sweet Little Thing” che ho letto subito dopo, quando ho saputo che era narrata dal punto di vista di Will.
La vita è pura gioia per Mia e Will. Hanno un cucciolo, un loft a Brooklyn e un nuovo studio musicale di cui occuparsi. Sembra che le cose non possano andare meglio per questa talentuosa coppia quando la vita decide di lanciare loro una dolce palla curva. Imparano velocemente che le cose non vanno sempre secondo i piani. Qualche volta il lieto fine è solo un gigantesco atto di fede. Con l’aiuto della musica, dei loro buoni amici, e un’eccentrica signora, superano alcuni incidenti di percorso per trovare la cosa più dolce di tutte.
Il lieto fine è assolutamente assicurato, con i pensieri di Will a farci compagnia, troppo simili a quelli di Mia per essere davvero credibili. Resta sempre il dolciotto ragazzo che abbiamo conosciuto in “Sweet Thing” ma a volte è davvero infantile e altre totalmente neurotico. D’altronde vivere con Mia non deve essere poi così facile.
Una storia caruccia, che conclude senz’altro la magia del primo volume… e come direbbe mio padre finisce tutto a tarallucci e vino, con tante scene super hot, incrementate dalla testolina perversa di uno dei musicisti più talentuosi dello stato.
Il particolare da non dimenticare? Una T-Shirt…
