This book was so cute! I absolutely loved it!! Took place in my home state too!! I absolutely loved the FMC! She’s definitely a baddie. There is spice in this book too. It has small town romance vibes to it!
3.5⭐️ I was lucky to be given the chance to review Sweet on the Finish, of my own accord, through being offered an eARC.
I had hoped for a longer build towards the main character’s attraction, but I do enjoy a good forced proximity or a one bed trope. This book is full of emotion, tension and just the right amount of drama. An enjoyable read.
This book has a sweet premise with a surprising amount of spice. Not at all in a bad way. The spice wasn’t over the top or cheesy and there was actual plot to go along with it. I love the winery setting and a forced proximity/one bed trope. It gave me spicy hallmark vibes (I love spice and hallmark ;) )
I don’t love Insta-love so much, and would’ve liked the enemy portion of the enemies to lovers develop a little more. I think without that tension it was hard to understand why the characters had so much back and forth about how they felt about each other. More background on the exes would’ve added to that too I think. I also didn’t fully understand what her job was, but that may be more of a me issue with not understanding the business.
I was lucky enough to receive an advance copy of this book and am giving an honest review.
Sweet on the Finish by J. Nickole is a heartfelt, character-driven romance about growth, healing, and second chances. With strong emotional depth and a tender, evolving connection between the leads, it delivers a sincere and engaging love story that draws readers in.
