Too Sweet
The greatest story hasn’t been written yet, because I think it might be ours.
Evin Morgan is struggling to write her next book. While trying to hold down her “regular” day-job and have some semblance of a life between her other responsibilities, she does what she can to keep her dream of being a full-time author alive. Even when it feels like she’s going in circles without accomplishing much.
Until Lucy Lowe, one of the most famous actors in the world, endorses Evin’s latest book in a press interview for her new movie. Feeling out of place in her celebrity lifestyle, Lucy finds solace between the pages of books. Especially Evin’s.
With Lucy’s help, Evin becomes an overnight bestseller. All thanks to the gorgeous, enigmatic, and kind Lucy Lowe.
Evin messages her appreciation over social media, and the two begin texting, talking, and soon, they’re friends. Only friends. Just friends.
That is until they meet in person for the first time, and their chemistry is harder to ignore when it’s not stifled by a phone screen. But is chemistry enough when they live two completely different lives?
Or when it feels too sweet to be real.

It was good and I liked how sweet the FMCs were toward each other, but I just didn't bond with the book as much as I hoped.
If you like short and sweet FF romance with some steamy scenes, you might like this one; it just wasn't for me. I did like previous works by this author.
3 stars.
Thank you to the author for an advanced reader copy. (And sorry for the delayed review)

Struggling writer Evin Morgan is doing her best to hold down life between her "regular" day-job and her dream of being an author. Lucy Lowe is one of the most famous actors in the world - and Evin's biggest fan, finding solace between the pages of Evin's books. With her help, Evin becomes an overnight success.
After a social media exchange, Evin and Lucy begin texting, talking, and becoming friends. Until their first time meeting and the chemistry is undeniable. But is it enough when they live in two completely different worlds?
Grace Turner absolutely delivered with this surprising novella! The story lives up to the title, being so sweet in the plot along with a dash of sexy spice added into the recipe.
Evin and Lucy are a great pair with amazing chemistry. Both are unique and interesting, possessing their own personalities and struggles, both of them bringing out the best in each other once they finally meet face to face. I loved their first face to face meeting. You can't help but root for them as their romance develops. Grace is an amazing storyteller and that shows again here with this fun and refreshing novella!

This was my first FF sapphic novella and it did not disappoint!
Evin is such a compelling narrator—sharp, observant, emotionally guarded yet desperate to connect. You can feel her carrying the weight of unspoken things, trying to navigate the thin line between desire and danger, intimacy and instability. Lucy, on the other hand, is magnetic in her own way—carefree on the surface but layered with contradictions. She’s a character who floats just out of reach, which makes the way Evin clings to her presence feel all the more powerful.
Their relationship is the heart of the story: two women drawn to each other with a kind of gravitational force, both wanting and fearing what the other represents. It’s tender and charged, filled with silences that say more than words, with affection that often feels inseparable from pain. The intimacy between them is so raw and vulnerable that I often had to pause and breathe.
You can't help but fall in love with their love!

2.5
Too Sweet is a sapphic novella between an author and a famous actress.
When Lucy raves about Evin’s books in an interview during her press tour, it spikes Evin’s sales and alters the course of her career.
Shortly after that, Evin and Lucy seemingly become the equivalent of BFF’s after connecting through social media.
Though this was a quick read, I had a hard time finding their romance believable, mainly due to the fact that the first two months of them bonding and getting to know each other — all the reasons why they develop a crush for the other person — are entirely skipped over.
The writing was also very stiff and awkward compared to some of Turner’s other published books.

“The greatest story hasn't been written yet, because I
think it might be ours.”
Too Sweet is a fun, fast-paced read and the first of a series of three spicy, LGBTQ+ standalone novellas. It follows an A-list celebrity and indie author who develop an online (and eventually, IRL) connection. As always, Grace Turner’s writing is captivating and magnetic. You could truly feel the gravitational pull between Evin and Lucy in just under 130 pages. I loved their text exchanges, the giddiness they felt as each developed a crush on one another, and the naturalness of their conversations.
Thank you, Grace Turner, for the complimentary e-copy of this novella! Too Sweet is out now on Kindle Unlimited and Amazon. The next books don’t have release dates, so stick around for each surprise release!

WOW! What a juicy novella! This book delivers on its title by being soooo sweet, with more than a dash of sexy built in for good measure.
FF romances can be tricky, with the leads blending together, however, Grace Turner manages to create two strong, unique, interesting women, that you can't help but root for!
Evin and Lucy are adorable and their love story was both endearing and refreshing!
Always so impressed with Grace's work!

It's All in the Title — Sweet, Almost Too Sweet
Grace Turner never disappoints, and Too Sweet is no exception. What a delightful surprise to have her secretly drop this book when we were all expecting the next release in the fall!
Too Sweet is a charming love story—short, easy to read, and, as always with Grace Turner’s writing, delightfully spicy. It lives up to its name: warm, indulgent, and maybe just a little too sweet (in the best way).

Goodness gracious! Aside from being too Sweet of a read, this book is also a scorcher!! Lucy and Evin are a perfect balance for each other. I loved that there was no third-act breakup. This book is all about two women admiring each other's work, developing into a friendship, and finding the love of their life.

It was perfectly fine. Didn’t love the UHaul lesbian stereotype being so prominent and the fact that the first sex scene took place over SEVERAL chapters and POV switches. It took me out of it and really drove down the heat of the moment - it felt like I dragged on even though the entire book is just over 100 pages

ARC Review
Ooh this was a spicy, lusty, and fun sapphic novella.
I liked the dynamic between Evin and Lucy, and I am happy to be in my sapphic romance era again. I always enjoy this author so it should have been no surprise that I would enjoy this novella.
This was a quick and fun read with I'd say 2-2.5 chili peppers worth of spice :)

Too Cute is 100% correct! This story was fast paced and full of excitement. I loved the aspect of an author and an actor. Their love story is one to beat! Grace Turner knocked it out of the park, yet again!

Cheesy
It’s so well written and I wish I had more of their story together than just the small glimpses I read through this book; but the spice was amazingly written and I can’t wait for the next!
