After the death of her controlling and manipulative husband, Tiffany Chase-Lake is determined to live her BEST life. She soon meets sexy and successful Broderick Hollingsworth. Broderick is a real estate mogul living in Atlanta. After losing his mother at an early age , he was told he wouldn’t amount to anything. Being successful was his only option. Once Broderick lays his eyes on Tiffanie at a wedding, he is instantly enamored.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Y’all, I was so engrossed in this book. It had me feeling sentimental.I love me some Broderick Hollingsworth! He didn’t pressure Tiffanie and he understood that she needed to have control over every aspect of her life. He was definitely a go with the flow man. I loved that about him. Also, their courtship was swoon worthy. For instance, when he meets her son for the first time, I couldn't help but smile during the exchange. I pictured myself as Tiffanie during this entire story. Dammit! I wanted a rich, successful, single man to adore me and my son 🤣🤣. They both gave each other the encouragement and support when needed with a side dose of passion that burnt the sheets .
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Now, lets be real, Tiffanie did manage to piss me off during this story as well. This aspect about Tiffanie I could have done without. Thankfully, Broderick was already in love with her and he wasn’t letting her go.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I loved this story and I am a sucker for a single mom getting a second chance at love. This made this story all the more relatable for me. The author did a fantastic job bringing this story of redemption to life. Add in her son KJ and the other Chase family members and this book was a huge hit for me . I am searching her backlist with a flashlight during the day 🤣

Perfect Love Story
Candace Shaw is one of my favorite authors. Every ebook purchase is well worth the price. The Sweetest Kiss is another one of her good reads. The storyline is well written and the characters are well developed.. I found it hard to put this book down, because each chapter kept drawing me in. I wanted to see how the relationship develops between Broderick and Tiffany therefore, I found myself reading every chapter until I completed the book. Sweetest Kiss is a warm and beautiful love story of Broderick Hollingsworth and Tiffany Chase-Lake. Broderick is a business tycoon that is all business and dates with no expectations. Tiffany is a single mother, making her son KJ and her bakery the most important two things in her life. When Broderick notices Tiffany walking down the aisle as a bridesmaid in her cousin's and his business associates wedding, he immediately knew that she was the one for him. Broderick and Tiffany's love story is hot, sexual and steamy..

Another Sweet Love Connection
THE SWEETEST KISS (Chasing Love) is another great love connection story written by the talented Candace Shaw. The two protagonists, Tiffany Chase-Lake & Broderick Hollingsworth were perfect as the sensuous lovers who each had to set aside past hurts and disappointments in order to find their HEA (Happy Ever After). The side characters enhanced the story so well. It was good to reconnect with some of them who have their own stories in previous books.
Not familiar with them? I suggest you catch up and add them to your library. THE SWEETEST KISS is a winner and I recommend it.

Love this story. Thanks, Candace.
He was an Alpha Male. He had never been in love... and Then he sees her....Tifanni. Tifanni was not looking for love. She was determined to hold on to her independence and never fall in love again. She was not loosing "her" to any Man again...and Then she meets him...Broderick.
Their attraction is instantaneous and combustible. He's all Alpha and she's all he wants. She's beautiful inside and out and he's her souls other half. They just don't know it...yet.

Sweet Story!!!
Tiffany and Broderick were the ideal couple. They matched like peanut butter and jelly. I liked the flow of the story where as Tiffany and Broderick had time to get to know one another to build a connection before they did the horizontal mumbo.. I like to visit with old characters from previous books which adds more depth to the story. Candace tells a believable story about a couple finding love and fighting for what and whom they believed in.

Tiffani Chase doesn't want to get married ever again. She meets Broderick Hollingsworth at her cousins wedding, he's intrigued - she's wary.
A captivating story of love, trust and getting over betrayal.

I love the fact that even though Tiffani had a horrible and abusive marriage that she still found her soulmate in the first man she decided to be "in the moment" since her husband died I cannot wait to read the next book or books in the series.

So Sweet...
I knew I was gonna enjoy book The Sweetest Kiss. It was very romantic from the beginning. It was a genuine read because the walls that Broderick & Tiffani had put up to protect themselves from the past were brought down from the love & caring they gave to each other.

This story was as sweet as its title. Tiffani truly deserved happiness and to find it with Broderick, who needed his own happily ever after, was wonderful.

Five Stars.
The cover got my attention because I'm a cupcake fanatic. I loved Tiffany and Broderick's story, although sometimes it just seemed entirely too good to be true.

The Best!
This was one of the best so far out of the Chasing Love series. I love the dominant, protective and sensual man Broderick is in this story. I love his focus on Tiffany. I love how he expressed his unconditional love for her. What a true man. Tiffany disposition is amazing. She remained true to herself no matter what she experienced in the past, with him or any situation in her life. I love her determination in the things she loved, in people and for herself. What a strong woman and mom. Love conquers all! Great Read! ReneeG 👍

Cute read! Romantic conflict was weak/annoying/unconvincing but alas, this is a common criticism I have for romances. Maybe I'm too logical when it comes to love, haha.
But I'm glad I read this as part of my continued effort to read more romance by writers of color. This was my first read by this author, and I jumped in mid-series, though it also works as a standalone. I thought it was a good way to get a feel for the author's style.

This was a well written love story between Tiffani and Broderick! When he first laid eyes on Tiffani at Bryce and Sydney's wedding, Broderick knew that there was something special about Tiffani so he made it his business to get to know her! Both are exceptional characters that really deserve each other. She is good for him and he is good for her as well. Very touching love story between them and the other storylines as well. Now it's on yo playboy Preston and Blythe!

Broderick saw Tiffani at a wedding and was immediately taken with her. He had to pursue her. She had a bad first marriage and didn't want that type of commitment again. But she had no problem with dating, as long as they took things slow.
These two had a really good love story. She was a single mom and small business owner. He was a millionaire business investor.
I enjoyed this story. Can't wait to continue the series.

Very entertaining!
I love love at first sight romances. Tiffani is an independent single mother just making ends meet while raising her son. Broderick is a man that's all about the money until he sees Tiffani. I don't think I can form a friendship out of "in the moment." But whatever floats Tiffani boat worked for her. And highly recommended. Thank you Ms. Shaw for your talent.

Wow, sexy and hot...love this book...excellent writing technique and context...our main character, Tiffini Chase-Lake, was definitely a determine, strong and inspirational young lady that never have up on her dreams and love....Broderick Hollingworth was genuinely a wonderful man, who respected and wanted to protect her. Love the ending....highly recommended!

Enjoying the series
Two more books to read, but don’t want to stop “being” in these people’s’ lives. So many stories could be told from other characters. I like how. Ms. Shaw writes.

Light hearted holiday season type romance. Fun, keeps you interested but not a heavy story.

I really enjoyed Broderick and Tiffani's story. It was a sweet fairytale with a very happily ever after ending.

Another great love story!

It started out very slow and gained momentum. I liked the way Broderick courted Tiffani and the fact that he understood the "package deal" mentality. Another great read!

the ending was super cheesy and seemed a little rushed. the rest of the book was really great though.

This is the 1st book I read by Candace Shaw. I loved this book's story line. I loved the desserts in the story. I loved the chemistry in this story. I loved the hot & steamy scenes. I loved Tiffani's character. I loved Broderick's character. I loved how Tiffani & Broderick met. I loved the scene with Broderick & his father. I loved the ending. Awesome job Ms. Shaw.
August 5, 2022
This is my first time reading Ms. Shaw's books and I must say I am loving the Chase Family Series. Books 1-3 were all great reads with great couples. Can't wait to read the other two books in the series.

Another tear jerker
Nice story. I can't wait to read the brothers story. What book is that does anyone know? I've read the other two.
