Thank you, Thank You, THANK YOU, Bella Andre for continuing Smith and Valentina’s story!!! I really love it when I can read more about much loved characters from previous books. I loved reading about Valentina and Smith falling in love in the book Come a Little Bit Closer the seventh book in Ms. Andre’s Sullivan series. The love that began and grew exponentially. Just WOW!
Seeing the love that Smith and Valentina hold for each other to the point that they can read each other’s thoughts….. SIGH! Then, to add in Magoo… awe…. But, you add in Darrell for comic relief… LOVED IT. Sorry ladies, if you want to know who Magoo and Darrell are, you NEED to read Sweeter Than Ever!! You will get no spoilers from me.
I was gifted with and an advance copy of this SIMPLY WONDERFUL book for my honest opinion. I LOVE great romance, and this spectacular book in my opinion, certainly fits in that category.
Kudos, Ms. Andre and another heart warmingly HOT story!!!
Thank you for reading my review. This book release on April 5th, and can be pre-purchased now by one-clicking

"Sweeter Than Ever" by Bella Andre

My Thoughts....

Another beautifully amazing written story that deals with Smith and Valentina' honeymoon that will definitely leave a smile on your face even with the drama that was presented. Good novella!

[Cinthia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I received an ARC for an honest review. 4.5 stars because is a short story... I want,I need more Smith Sullivan sweetness.

Smith is my favorite Sullivan, I think, at least whenever he shows up his sweethearts for his brothers, cousins, mother and for Valentina... I fall in love some more.

Now, after his wedding and vows in 'Since I fell for You' with Valentina they are in Maine for their honeymoon. In Maine we met Cassie, one more Sullivan cousin.

Smith is sweet, in his honeymoon he is sweeter than ever with his wife and with their surprised guest.

I'm super anxious for the next Sullivans books, in New York or in Maine or back to San Francisco and Seattle. Love this wonderful family and their love for each other.

Sweeter Than Ever was a novella within the Sullivan series by Bella Andre. It caught us up on the San Francisco Sullivan's, Smith and Valentina from book seven, Come a Little Closer.

Sweeter Than Ever was exactly that, sweet. It highlighted their honeymoon, provided a quick recap of the Sullivan family tree and provided a couple cute plot twists for entertainment.

It was well written and a quick and easy read reminding us why we love the series. The next release is a New York Sullivan's Spinoff Series, Summer Lake, The Best Is Yet To Come.

More Sullivan Love!!! Hilarious and sweet at the same time! Kind of an "I love Lucy" honeymoon for sure but it's a terrific way to spend an evening! Smith and Valentina are perfect and their love shines thru in this novella. A week to have all to themselves...was apparently too much to ask for, lol. A must read for all Sullivan fans.

ARC provided in exchange for honest review.

Oh, what to say? Bella Andre never disappoints me. I loved reading my eternal favorite Sullivan´s couple: Smith and Valentina. Loved it!

[BBMoreB ~ · Rating 4 out of 5]

It starts with the Happily Ever After…

There are very few authors/series that I will put aside my current read for but, this author/series combo is on that exclusive list. So, although I had not been expecting this release until later this month I started reading it as soon as this book appeared in my inbox.

I love that Bella Andre is providing us readers glimpses of previously enjoyed couples HEAs; allowing us to experience additional moments of their lives together. If you are a reader, like me, and are wondering what happens after “The End” then this is a must read.

Smith and Valentina... 3.5 sweet stars!!

Smith has always been one of my favourite Sullivan men and the story was enjoyable enough... For some reason I had high expectations after reading the synopsis, and unfortunately those expectations wasn't entirely met...
But, individual taste does differ...

I'm still a die-hard Bella Andre fan!!!

[Darcy · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was fun to read. Loved how Smith and Valentina's honeymoon was nothing like they both expected with all the intrusions. Some of the intrusions were good, Magoo, some not so much like an ex. But they were together, which was the most important thing.

[Rachel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great add to the series. Smith & Valentina Sullivan are one of my favorite couples so this was a sweet story I've been waiting for. This is a fun read and you can see even more that their connection is deep and lasting. Can't wait for the next!

[Danielle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Received an ARC and voluntarily reviewing.......

I actually enjoyed this story more than Smith and Valentina's original story. I like seeing their relationship away from all the cameras and all the craziness of Hollywood and that's what Sweeter Than Ever does. Despite it being a short story, it does introduce a lot of characters, including a Sullivan cousin that I haven't even heard of.

I hope there are more Sullivan novellas like this. It's nice to get a more in depth follow up update on past couples, besides just a brief appearance.

[Shelley · Rating 3 out of 5]

I enjoyed this novella. I have read all of the Sullivan stories. This one was about Smith Sullivan's honeymoon with Valentina. Short and sweet.

[Michelle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great continuation of Smith and Valentina and the problems of being famous.

[D · Rating 4 out of 5]

I preordered this book and read it as soon as I got the email that it arrived. One thing I normally love about Bella's books is how she brings back other characters from her previous books. While I like that this book focused on Smith and Valentina's crazy honeymoon, I wish there would have been a little more about their wedding and some of the other Sullivans.

I did have a lot of laughs throughout this book with the unexpected twists and turns and I can't wait to read more of the Sullivan stories.

[Roslynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Honeymooning with the Ex - Now that's CLASSIC!
And then you have the guts to be all "LOVEY DOVEY" in the man's house. When the rich famous hero gets jealous of the "poor ex" because of a shared history with the heroine...Clenched Jaw, White Knuckles fisted....HAHAHAHAHA...#READY2RUMBLE
I can't wait to see how they grow their production company like they do their famous family and battle the ups and downs of stardom. Very sweet story!

I can't get enough of Bella Andre's characters!

[Christina Montminy · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm a huge Bella Andre fan & this new book in the series is wonderful. The sweet, funny & sometime steamy story of Smith & Valentina's honeymoon was adorable. From increasing their new family from 2 to 3 & having to spend a surprise stormy night with an ex-boyfriend was just a hoot. The light feel to this happy story is a very good addition to the series. Definitely recommend this book & the series.

[karn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wedding was perfect but the honeymoon? Let us see...hideaway....novelist...a tree...paparazzi...total week of secret honeymoon....Gee, could anything go wrong? So much for perfect...but it is about who you are with, right>?...not!
I love the Sullivans since met them in San Francisco and nice to see a secret (?) wedding and honeymoon of a special couple. Their love is so sweet.

[Mabel · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wasn't too keen on reading this novella. Smith isn't one of my favorite Sullivans. And I wasn't sure reading about his honeymoon with Valentina would be an exciting read. Until I've read about Magoo. It was so worth spending some time with that furry cuteness. Darrell, on the other hand, was an unwelcome twist, and shouldn't be included in this short story.

[LORRAINE PATTERSON · Rating 5 out of 5]

So Sweet

This story is sweet and delightful. Smith and Valentina are a strong and bigger than life couple. Hollywood stars seeking just the quiet and romantic place for a down to earth honeymoon. I loved the sweetness and touching elements. Cant wait to see what is in store for them

[Lisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fun and loving update to Smith and Val's story. It takes place during the first few days of their honeymoon and the start of their family. Also Mother Nature throws a humorous wrench into their plans that adds a super fun twist....Highly recommend.

[Darcie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cute sweet Smith and Valentina story

I have loved Smith since I first met him in this series. Valentina is such a perfect fit for him and their love can move mountains. Their honeymoon was full of the unexpected, and they still made it amazing!

[Melanie Marnell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Getting away from it all is what Smith and Valentina crave most of all. One week of uninterrupted solitary bliss. Just the two of them, no work, no family and no friends. Things don't go quite as planned.

[Mary Jane McLeod · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really Great Series

This series is so good. I've really enjoyed getting to know all the Sullivans and totally enjoyed this continuation of Smith and Valentina's story. A captivating short read.
