About the author
K.C. Lynn
30 books4,435 followersK.C. Lynn is a small town girl living in Western Canada. She grew up in a family of four children—two sisters and a brother. Her mother was the lady who baked homemade goods for everyone on the street and her father was a respected man who worked in the RCMP. He’s since retired and now works for the criminal justice system. This being one of the things that inspires K.C. to write romantic suspense about the trials and triumphs of our heroes.
K.C. married her high school sweetheart and they started a big family of their own—two adorable girls and a set of handsome twin boys. They still reside in the same small town but K.C.’s heart has always longed for the south, where everyone says ‘y’all’ and eats biscuits and gravy for breakfast.
It was her love for romance books that gave K.C. the courage to sit down and write her own novel. It was then a beautiful world opened up and she found what she was meant to do…write.
When K.C.’s not spending time with her beautiful family she can be found in her writing cave, living in the fabulous minds of her characters and their stories.

No word of a lie 70% of this story I was crying. Sad and happy tears and mostly with a sappy smile on my face but crying none the less.

It's powerful and so fucking beautiful that it give you them butterfly feelings.
And don't even get me started on the kids! Them both as parents brings me to my knees! Parker & Hope! Oh my fuck - CUTE AS A FUCKING BUTTON!
I don't think you could love one without the other! Hope with her sweet little voice and beautiful soul and Parker the image of his dad inside and out and so protective of his mummy and twin sister!
Yep I had fucking tears with these two litte ones.
There were lots of smiles but also lots of crying throughout this fucker of a book!
That K.C. Lynn brings emotions out of me like no fucking other! She really fucking knows how to get ya heart rate going to then to break the fucker in half.
Oh my Grace! and Sawyer! Fuck me you broke my fucking heart!

Just fucking amazing but then it is K.C. Lynn and everything she creates is never short of perfect.
The fucking ballocks of a book and so sad it's over but so very happy it happened as this family will seriously own your heart <3

"5 Sexy Sawyer and Cupcake stars"
"The easiest thing I've ever done in my life is love you, Grace."
I FUCKING LOVED THIS BOOK!!!
Oh My God this book was great!I loved everything about it!It was sweet,hot,emotional and worth swoon!"Sweet Temptation" is one of my favorite books so obviously I wouldn't miss "Sweet Love". I have no idea where to begin...That's how much I enjoyed this reading...
Let me think for a second....
"God,Evans that filthy mouth of yours is going to be the death of me."
Ok I got it!I loved Sawyer,he is amazing all protective, possessive alpha male with a dirty mouth and ready to make his cupcake scream his name...I need a man like Sawyer ASAP!And of course the best father in the whole world with his little twins Hope and Parker.
And then there were Grace who once again showed us how big her heart was and how selfless she was by helping other people without expecting something in return...She was all crazy about her Sexy Sawyer and couldn't keep her hands to herself.It's not like I blame her with Sawyer walking around in her personal space.Actually I would have been stuck in his arms like a monkey all the damn time...space is overrated people...don't let it get in your way...
One of the things that I loved in this book was the kids.I love a book with great kids in it and this one didn't disappointed me one bit...I'm so happy about that...I adored Hope and Parker!These two made me laugh, cry and have a goofy smile in my face with the things they said or did.I wish one day I have myself a couple of sweet and loving kids in my life...They were the cutest little kids!
Hope was like her Mama creating pies for the people she loved....
"All you need is a pinch of Grace and a dash of Hope.
To make life sweeter and help love grow."
And Parker was a mini Sawyer all the way and he knew it...
"Don't tell me you can't handle a few kisses."
"It's not me who can't handle it.
It's the ladies who can't handle me."
Ohhhh yeah that was a confident 6 years old kid...
You can be assure he was Sawyer's son!
Of course we can't leave out the hot moments Sawyer and Grace shared together even after all these years...they were still hot for each other...
"How do you want it?Slow and deep or hard and fast."
"All of the above."
"How can it still feel like this?
How can it still be so amazing, even after all this time?"
"Because it's us."
Damn the author has created some awesome characters and
I love her writing...So how can I resist...?
"God I love your mouth."
"Yeah, but you love my dick more, right?"
"Actually, I love you more."
"I love you too, Cupcake."
Enjoy!xxx

5 "I love Sawyer" stars
Yet again KC Lynn manged to make me smile, cry, laugh and swoon! If it's possible to fall deeper in love with Sawyer and his friends, I did just that! I always know that her books would bring out every emotion out of me and I couldn't love it more!
This novella was beautiful and gut wrenching. It shows you a man who would do everything for his family caught in a moment of life when he is helpless of what is happening. Also it shows you a woman, so selfless and kind, that would do anything to save and protect even a person she doesn't know.
Sawyer and Grace's family is the epitome of the family I want to have in future (also the one I got now). The connection between everyone is so strong and beautiful. The children are mini copies of these two honorable characters. So sweet and lovely are the conversation between mother and son and father and daughter. Don't get me starting about Hope and Parker - I know very well what is the feeling to love your siblings so hard and the protective mode you got in when the time requires.
Per usual Sawyer made my heart melt with every word and every action he did during the book. I loved how sexy and filthy he was, how protective and intense when it comes to his wife, children or sister. How funny and sweet he was when he wanted to help Grace and her anxiety towards something. I truly love this man!
“No matter how many times I’ve kissed this man, he still manages to take my breath away with every kiss.”
Grace is one of the strongest heroines ever! Everytime when I remember about what she been through my heart breaks to pieces. Now she is stronger and wiser and older and bolder but she could be be prepared for what was coming for her. Her selflessness and adoration towards everyone amaze me everytime. She is the perfect mother (she reminds me so much of my mom) and the perfect wife. I loved everything about her. I could never say anything negative about KC's heroines because she always makes them so much real and beautiful inside and out!
“How can it still feel like this?” she whispers. “How can it still be so amazing, even after all this time?” “Because it’s us.”
The friendships.. be still my heart! I love the group of alpha and protective men. The sassy and amazing girls. The wonderful children and beautiful connection between each of them! I am sure that the next books will be as wonderful as every other before!!!
About the last sentence.. well I am not scared! I am sure that whatever Hope's faith would bring she and her family would go through it!!!
“All you need is a pinch of Grace,” ... “And a dash of Hope,” ... “To make life sweeter.” ... “And help love grow,” she whispers, kissin’ my cheek back, her tears mixin’ with my own.”

This was a sweet and emotional story, but I'm not sure I would have read if I knew I should have read KC's 'Sweet Temptation'. It's listed as 'The Sweet #1' so I assumed it was the start of a new series... still, I was able to catch up to what was going on fairly quickly and I liked both Grace and Sawyer a lot. I'm definitely interested in reading more of this couple!

5 Sweet Stars.
In this sweet and amazing novella we get to have a look into Grace and Sawyer’s married life a few years after their HEA. When everything in their lives seems to go perfectly, Grace’s past comes literally knocking at her door leaving her with her difficult decision to make, that will affect not only her but the rest of the family.
It’s amazing how with this novella, KC Lynn managed to make me cry, laugh and swoon with not much amount of pages. Sawyer and Grace are one of my favorites couples and I absolutely loved their original book, so I jumped on this one soon as I had the chance… and it did not disappoint. I feel like I could read about them forever and never get tired.
If you liked their book, you should definitely read this one. And if you don’t their story, then you definitely should start the “Men of Honor” series!
Rating: 5 Stars.
Characters Development: As always, Grace was her sweet and generous self like we here used to and Sawyer the sweet and loyal alpha we knew from before. And I loved how fiercely protective and dedicated he was to her wife. I loved seeing them in their married life with kids and a family. I also loved to see more of the rest of the gang.

March 28, 2016DNF as soon as I realized this is the same couple in "Sweet Temptation-Men of 'Honor' #2"
This same hero actually cheated on the heroine who is now his wife in this book. Ugh, gross no thanks. Don't really give a shit about their happily ever after after he fucked another woman in the previous book.
Even though there's no cheating in this book I can't read it knowing he cheated on her in the past. Cya

5.0 +++ SOBBING MESS STARS!!!
Warning: Prepare a box or two of Kleenex and a bottle of wine...and oh?someone to cuddle and hug you because while reading and after reading this you'll surely need some lovin'.
“All you need is a pinch of Grace,”I whisper, sprinkling it on the pie. “And a dash of Hope,”she follows, tossing more on top. “To make life sweeter.”I turn and press a kiss to her cheek. “And help love grow,”she whispers, kissin’my cheek back, her tears mixin’with my own.
OH.MY.GOD.THIS.BOOK!!!It's beautifully written. Gahhh!!!The feels!!!Those overflowing emotions that just kept going.K.C Lynn is just so perfect writing this novella that will surely touch your heart and soul. Mind you it's a novella!!!Like what the eff right???It exceeded my expectations!!!This is just so effing wonderful that it took my breath away..made me a sobbing mess and leave me with a puffy eye and a red nose but definitely make me fall in love over again.
I'm a BIG FAN of the author and to think that I've been reading a whole bunch of her works I thought I know where this novella would lead me. I thought I know what to expect. BUT I WAS SO WRONG!!!Nothing prepared me for what she's in store for us.
As always...our love Sexy Sawyer is the same as himself as we've known him in Sweet Temptation...the funny...the amusing with an ego that's hilarious and a filthy mouth that'll make you so damn wet...the protective...the loving and of course can we ever forget his holy smoking alpha sexiness. Now, he's the loving father of their twins and in this story we will see a different side of him as a family man.
And Grace...now she's still our sassy southern baker who loves his sexy Sawyer and with a big heart heroine..and now a loving mother to this twins that will definitely hold a place in your heart as mush as their parents. They were such so adorable that you will love them that exact moment you'll meet them. Their family banters were so amusing I fell deepy to the love they shown for each other.Their ties were just so great that it ripped my heart into two when a slice of the past came into their doorstep with a life altering plea that both tested their fate.....
*sigh
Oh no...I'm not gonna tell you much because I know that no matter how vivid I will give you the descriptions and the details I will surely not deliver it the way it deserves. But to be honest, I was shattered and broken when as I go on with my reading. Unknowingly, tears were streaming down my face then I turned up sobbing and bawling like a baby. K.C Lynn manages to deliver this great novella that made rollercoaster of emotions an understatement. I do not know how it happen but boy, she definitely knows how to make a way with emotions. Good thing all her books has HEA or I don't know If I can't take it because damn!!!Every emotion is just too much that when you say the sex scenes were hot..it's definitely so damn hot..when you say your heart aches, it aches..and when you say you're in love..you're definitely in love.
If I love Sawyer and Grace from Sweet Temptation, now in SWEET LOVE, my love for them exceeded! Great job for K.C Lynn! Another WORTH THE READ BOOK!!! Puffy eyes and red nose be damned!

January 3, 2017I haven't conveniently forgotten Sawyer's sleazy cheaty move in his own book. I'd never forgive this loser. Don't give a shit about how he's "good" later. Of course he's not going to fuck another woman AGAIN, but he DID DO IT! And I don't forgive him. Since I have self respect.

Review by Lisa Kane
A slice of Hope with a sprinkle of Grace. The dream will live on forever.
I can never get enough of KC Lynn's Men of Honor series so this novella made my day. Sawyer and Grace are living a beautiful life with their twins, Parker and Hope. They fought hard for this life and are they deserve it.
Grace's bakery is a hit and her knack for creating mouth watering pies ensures that folks will eat just about anything she comes up with. Hope is following in her mama's footsteps and concocts some pretty tasty pies herself. Sawyer knows how lucky he is, and he never takes is family or the life they have for granted.
"Mornin', Daddy," Hope greets me with her megawatt smile that always does funny shit to my chest no matter how many times I see it.
I fake a scowl. "Hey, you're not my Cupcake."
"Nope, it's me, your Shortcake."
But don't get too comfortable because their worlds are just about to get shaken to the core. Grace's past is about to come barging in on her present and her life will not be the same. I'm not going to give away any details, but let me say Sawyer was not the only one ready to kick some ass in this book!
Grace is the most compassionate, loving woman and because of that, she brings happiness to everyone around her. Her group of friends (I'm so glad that we get to visit the whole cast of characters from the series) are the kind that everyone wishes they had-loyal and loving and true. There's a whole heap of heartache in this one, but the love that this couple has can surmount even the tallest of mountains.
These thoughts leave me heartsick.
They're all things I can't stop thinking about and I'm terrified. I'm trying to be strong though and not show it.
There's an intriguing side story with Sam, Sawyer's sister that is unresolved. But no worries, there is a novella coming for her and I have a feeling that is going to be one angst fest! As a bonus we have a little foreshadowing of Hope Evans' life-I'm betting the Prince Charming she is waiting for might just be in her face already. Maybe take a closer look at Beckett, Kayla and Cooper's son. Guess we'll find out when Hope's story comes out.
"The easiest thing I've ever done in my life is love you, Grace."
Review by Lisa Kane
A slice of Hope with a sprinkle of Grace. The dream will live on forever.
I can never get enough of KC Lynn's Men of Honor series so this novella made my day. Sawyer and Grace are living a beautiful life with their twins, Parker and Hope. They fought hard for this life and are they deserve it.
Grace's bakery is a hit and her knack for creating mouth watering pies ensures that folks will eat just about anything she comes up with. Hope is following in her mama's footsteps and concocts some pretty tasty pies herself. Sawyer knows how lucky he is, and he never takes is family or the life they have for granted.
"Mornin', Daddy," Hope greets me with her megawatt smile that always does funny shit to my chest no matter how many times I see it.
I fake a scowl. "Hey, you're not my Cupcake."
"Nope, it's me, your Shortcake."
But don't get too comfortable because their worlds are just about to get shaken to the core. Grace's past is about to come barging in on her present and her life will not be the same. I'm not going to give away any details, but let me say Sawyer was not the only one ready to kick some ass in this book!
Grace is the most compassionate, loving woman and because of that, she brings happiness to everyone around her. Her group of friends (I'm so glad that we get to visit the whole cast of characters from the series) are the kind that everyone wishes they had-loyal and loving and true. There's a whole heap of heartache in this one, but the love that this couple has can surmount even the tallest of mountains.
These thoughts leave me heartsick.

It was free on amazon!
I read in a couple reviews that this book wasn't necessary in the series, that you should read it only if you really liked the series. Well, I agree with that statement.
Grace and Sawyer are a happily married couple, with two kids. Everything is fine in their lives, when Grace's biological father shows up unexpectedly and disrupts their peace.
I really hated her father, by the way.
Also, it is just me or her kinds are portrayed as if they were older? I haven't been around six year old kids in a while... but Parker and Hope sounded way too mature for their age.

KC Lynn got me right in the feelings. I loved Sawyer and Grace so much in their book so imagine how happy I was to find out about this book. Sawyer is still that sexy, dirty talking alpha who loves his cupcake Grace so very much. This story was so sweet and emotional. Parker and Hope, well they have to be the sweetest kids I've ever read about in a story. If you've read this series, do yourself a favor and grab this book. It is definitely setting us up for future books! I need more now! ! start turning them out KC lynn!

5 Sweet, Sweet, Sweet Stars... Sawyer and Grace found their HEA with their adorable twins, Parker and Hope, but their world gets shaken when Grace's absent father reappears and asks the impossible from her....boundaries of love are tested and compassion is challenged when the ultimate sacrifice must be considered...new relationships are formed with the perfect blend of forgiveness, honesty, and understanding while the old ones are strengthened with all the ingredients of love, trust, and hope....KC Lynn provides us with a beautiful story to immerse ourselves with all the sass, sexiness, and protectiveness of Sawyer, the genuineness and sweet of Grace, and the innocence of Parker and Hope....once again the emotional feels are abundant and run rampant as I connect with these beautiful characters and powerful storyline...absolutely loved it:)

5 "CUPCAKE-SHORTCAKE" STARS.
Such a sweet novella! *Sighs*
I finished this one with happy tears and the the most sappy smile on my face!
I can not believe Sexy Sawyer couldn't get any better, but hell, he definitely did. He and his Cupcake are one of the sweetest couples ever! You can breath the love between them! Beautiful.
The kids! Oh gawd. I don't how K.C. Lynn does it, but she writes the most amazing kids, you just love them, it is impossible not to do it.
The story was pure perfection and I did not want it to end!!!
To be reunited with the whole gang made things to my heart.
I'm already dreading the next book, because I'm sure K.C. Lynn is going to make me cry my eyes out, but I know that at the end she is going to give me my Happy Ever After.
*Hope Sam gets her own book, her situation intrigued me. So, I'm counting on it.*

As I write this review I'm laughing to myself because of all the scenarios my crazy mind thought up as to what Sweet Love was about that DEFINITELY wasn't it!!! OMG!!!
I've loved the relationship between Sawyer and Grace from the beginning and I was so excited to be getting more of them along with the sweet addition of Parker and Hope. To read them interacting as a family brought a smile to my face and warmed my heart. Loving Sawyer and Grace individually was nothing compared to loving them as a couple and then as a family. They have a relationship that most only dream about. You can feel their love for one another pour off the pages. Parker and Hope where adorable. So sweet and funny. I loved the mother~daughter bond as well as the mother~son bond between them and Grace.
It was interesting to read how Grace and Sawyer handled such a difficult situation. I'm not sure I could have handled it as well as Grace did. She had almost an impossible choice to make under so much pressure with not a whole lot of time to do it in. Sawyer *sigh* I truly felt for him. I loved how even though he disagreed with Grace's decision in the beginning, he still supported her and gave her the love and strength that she needed most from him. He protected her and his family and I think I fell even more in love with him for it. Especially the tender way he cared for Grace after everything was done. So Good!!
I'm a HUGE fan of K.C. Lynn and with each new book that continues to grow. I have no idea how she thinks up these characters and stories...but I'm forever grateful that she does!!

you have a husband and two kids who are alive AND are your relatives as indicated by the dictionary definition of ‘relative’
Personal Review:
This was a great love story about a married couple and the difficult choice needed to be made.
I did not read the previous books in this series and I am glad I didn't as I enjoyed reading a story about a married couple.
I enjoyed this and it did make me shed some tears, however the downside was the final paragraph:
“Little did Sawyer know, fourteen years later, there would come a day when he couldn’t protect his daughter.”
Random Ramblings:
•I hadn’t realised this was part of a series and I haven’t read the previous books
•Hated the emotional blackmail
•Parker was a sweetheart
Overall Feeling:
At times it felt too sweet

I wasn't prepared to cry this much! Warning: you'll need tissues!
Every single book that KC writes is magic! We first met Sexy Sawyer and his "cupcake" Grace in Sweet Temptation (book 2 in The Men of Honor series) and I absolutely loved their story but this continuation and start to a great new spin-off series is starting off with a bang! You will laugh and you will cry! You will fall in love with all of the main and secondary characters! Your heart will fill with so much love and bliss! I am not exaggerating when I say this :) we get hints of upcoming stories that other characters will have in the future and quite frankly I can't wait! I am seriously in love with anything this amazing and brilliant author writes! I don't even need to read the blurbs anymore to know I will one-click what she publishes because she is that darn good!

Well, it lived up to its name. This was a rather sweet story with all sorts of family feels. Loved the kids - they were adorable, and it was nice seeing Grace be able to comes to terms with parts of her past. She was pretty awesome and selfless too. And, Sawyer, wow! Some serious alpha vibes off of him, but given his past experiences, it makes sense that he would do anything to protect his family.

This one hurt. I wasn't expecting to bawl my eyes out the entire time but that is what I did. My heart hurt for everyone but Grace wouldn't be Grace if she didn't step up and help her sister. And Sawyer wouldn't be Sawyer if he didn't grumble and throw a tantrum when Grace wants to take a risk. Emotional for sure but very good and very worth the read.

Sexy Sawyer and his sweet Cupcake, Grace, have done it again!
This book, Holy Mary Mother of God, this book, had me all over the place with my emotions! I mean, on the one hand, that sexy bastard, Sawyer, had me squirming in my seat, like only he can! I had forgotten just how dirty he can be lol… Its not that I’m complaining, not even a little bit…. ☺ I love this man of honor and his dirty talking mouth and his love for Grace and their kids so very much!
And then, I could feel my heart being ever so slowly ripped right from my chest and I cried like a baby all damn day long!!!! I have never had to put a book down so many times because I was that emotionally overwhelmed… The feelings are so fucking real, the absolute love I felt for Grace and Sawyer and the way they deal with the predicament they find themselves in, it was just so crazy how in the moment I felt!
Then it happens, in the most happiest of ways, all the pieces of my heart were put back where they belonged and I cried some more because I was so damn happy! Thank you, KC Lynn for taking us on this amazing journey with Sawyer and Grace. It had to be them, it was a perfect story for them from beginning to end!

If I could give this one more stars I would. If you have not read any of these books no beg you to! She write sexy alpha men who protect and serve and will die for those they love. Oh and who have the biggest hearts. You wanna kiss them and be held by them.
I loved this little extra in the lives of Sawyer and his cupcake. It was not only sweet but a bit emotional in a way that was oddly enjoyable.
What do you do when your faced with a life or death decision and its not your life in the balance?
Such a great read.
I loves Parker and hope! And there had better be a book about hope! That little teaser about killed me! Read it to find it what I'm talking about!
Anyway a great way to lose sleep!

***~~**Arc review**~~**
Out of all of the Men of Honor men... Sexy Sawyer is my FAV!!! His filthy mouth can turn the most innocent lady to putty! As he does with Grace!
KC Lynn knows how to draw out all of your emotions from laughing, to crying within the same chapter & never ceases to amaze me with her imagination.
This book is amazing & I definitely recommend ALL of her stories to all my friends & anyone who reads reviews.
This is not a standalone, you need to read Sweet Temptation in order to understand this book. I would start at the beginning bc it is totally worth it! Men of Honor
5 stars from this redhead
