The Sweetest Shop on Main
She's always been unwanted...can he convince her otherwise?
Lilyana has grown up under a heavy dose of pity, and she hates it.
Her parents are gone, she has no family, few close friends and her quiet demeanor means she's often overlooked in every aspect of her life. She's spent far too many hours sitting in the background, dreaming of one day being swept away by her high school crush...Jett McCoy.
They aren't teenagers anymore, but as the high school quarterback, Jett was the envy of every guy and the desire of every girl, including Lilyana. She definitely wasn't immune to his quick wit, boyish grin, and the way he seemed to catch her eye no matter how big the crowd was.
Now they're adults, and he's still catching her eye and being extra nice whenever she needs help...if only she knew it wasn't because he felt bad for her. Maybe someday, she can move on from this ridiculous crush and find a guy who doesn't see tragedy when he sees her face.
Someday.
Someday, Jett will be brave enough to make a move.
Someday, he'll break past Lilyana's shyness and help her to see that she's more than a sad, orphan.
Someday, he'll help her understand that kindness doesn't equal pity or charity.
But when an outsider starts trying to break down those barriers before Jett has his turn...someday has to become now.
Jett's done waiting.
He's given Lilyana enough years to see that he can make her happy.
It's time to throw caution to the wind and stop hoping she'll wake up on his own.
Lilyana is everything Jett's ever dreamed of. Now he just has to convince her of the same.

Review of advance copy received from Author
A sweet story to enjoy
Lilyana’s passion is making candy with some cookies thrown in. She blends chemistry with her love of cooking to develop candies available only in her store along with the traditional favorites. Her work life is sweet but her private life is lacking. She’s an introvert and has always had trouble making friends. Plus losing her parents while she was in college, brings pity from others, something she does not want. What she would like is for Jett her high school crush to really see her. Jett was friends with her in high school but now is interested in more but is scared of moving too fast and losing her. When Jett’s twin brother steps in to move things along chaos and irritation begin. Can they handle the interference? And what happens when a serious problem arises? I received an early copy and this is my honest review.

Shy, reserved, quiet Lilyana and stoic, friendly Jett come together after years of hiding their feelings for each other. A meddlesome twin brother, Tate, helps them break down the walls they had built to preserve their hearts, but Tate’s actions anger Jett. Later Tate is in a car accident and Jett feels responsible, Lilyana feels unneeded but this time they talk things out and make their relationship stronger. A HEA story with kind of a cliffhanger ending, what happens with Tate’s recovery? I still completely enjoyed the entire story and can’t wait for Tate’s. I received this book for free from the author to review and these are my own thoughts and opinions.

Lilyanna and Jett's friends to more story is delightful. Friends for many years, Jett is afraid to scare Lilyanna off and she has been pining for Jett since high school. When Tate, Jett's twin brother tries to push them together, things get heated in more ways than one. The characters in this series are all wonderful!

sweet romance
I was excited to read Jett’s story because he has been one of my favorite characters in this series. I liked him and Lillyanna together. I can’t wait for Tate his twin’s story.

Another wonderful one
Jett has had a crush on Liliana for a few years and his brother throws him into a situation for him to act on it. That causes an issue with the brothers but for Jett and Liliana it is a start of something great!

Lilyana and Jett are my favorite couple in this series - so far. Ever since I "met" Jett I have wanted him and Tate to each have their own books. Thank you to the author!! Lilyana has a heart of gold and wants to serve/take care of everyone she can - sometimes to her own detriment. Loved how Jett really sees her, flutter patted around her and longs to make her his. They are so sweet. There is some drama that I was a little scared would prevent them from being together. Having twin girls, I really enjoyed reading about Jett and Tate - how different they are, having some issues but still close as ever. Great ending and I cannot wait for Tate's story.
