I found A Love So Sweet by Addison Cole well written, well paced and the storyline held my interest all throughout the book.
I enjoyed watching Treat and Max overcome their misunderstanding, learning to trust and to give your heart fully to someone even if you've been hurt before. These two shared a beautiful love and I was very happy they were able to get their happily ever after.
A Love So Sweet is a beautiful, heartfelt read and a lovely start to the Sweet with Heat, Weston Bradens series.

A Love so Sweet by Addison Cole is a “Sweet with Heat”, novel. Book #1 in her new series “Sweet with Heat: The Bradens at Weston”
Featuring Treat Braden and Max Armstrong. Trent is the oldest of the Braden at Weston children. Addison Cole’s characters are multidimensional, with empowered and sassy women, hot, loyal heroes, friends, family with a sweet romance without graphic love scenes or foul language. I adore flawed characters which adds more drama, and gives readers a better understanding of the way they act. Trent and Max are charming and realistic. A satisfying and enjoyable read. Addison Cole is Melissa Foster’s pen name for her “Sweet with Heat” series, in case you didn’t already know this tidbit of information. Another great by the fantastic Addison Cole.
I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

My final rating for this book is 3.5 stars because it didn't blow my mind and at the same time it wasn't bad. I will round it up to 4 because as you know I am a kind person when it comes to rating a book. I would have given it a higher rating, but I couldn't get into it for some time. Things got better over time and I liked it overall. This branch of Bradens is a promising one and I will certainly read the rest of the books someday. All of them were interesting for different reasons and it looks like it's going to be one heck of a ride.
Treat and Max had their ups and downs, but it was mostly ups. They had a misunderstanding 6 months ago, when Treat thought that Max had a one-night stand with another man, but now he is determined to be the one and only in her life. He is not afraid to show emotion and admit his feelings which is something that doesn't happen often these days with heroes in romance novels. Max has her demons and that is hurting her and prevents her from enjoying her life. I did not like what happened to her, but I liked the way it was resolved and how she was able to move on afterward. They had a good relationship that was solid in my eyes.
The book is a good beginning for a new series. We meet all the future main character from the Braden side of the family and I liked all of them, even Dane who made a huge mistake in the past. With a little hesitation, I would recommend it.

A Love So Sweet is Treat Braden and Max Armstrong’s story. The sizzling chemistry between Treat and Max drew me into the story. The emotion, passion and pure romance of their romance kept me turning the pages.
I liked that Treat and Max got to know each other as they planned a double weeding in Nassau. The couple talked for several months over the phone as they planned a wedding and the chemistry between them sizzled. Loved that they both had romantic fantasies about each other. They meet in Nassau and share a romantic evening. Treat sees Max the next morning wearing the same outfit as the night before, misreads the situation and heads home to Colorado to spend time with his family.
Loved the scene when Treat sees Max at a party in Colorado—I could feel the attraction between the couple—it sizzled! Both Treat and Max have trust issues. While the couple dances, Treat apologizes and explains why he left her in Nassau. Max shares a bad experience that she had with her college boyfriend.
Treat Braden is one of my favorite Addison Cole heroes. He realizes that he has misjudged Max and owns his mistake. This was his second chance and he was not going to let it slip by. Treat has family issues to resolve and the author does a fabulous job introducing the Braden clan. He’s got trust issues and a family rivalry to work through; these issues show he’s not perfect. Loved the dialogue between the Braden brothers and the bigger than life character of Hal Braden.
Max Armstrong is a successful event planner who thrives on multi-tasking. I loved that she wanted to put her past behind her by confronting her college boyfriend. Max’s feelings for Treat overwhelmed her at times. But, she knew that she needed to put the past in its place. These scenes were very painful and emotional—and perfectly written.
The romance between the couple unfolds with each chapter. They share romantic dinners, bond over chocolate cake and visit Cape Cod. Treat listens to Max-he hears her—and they begin a relationship built on trust—this part of the storyline worked for me. I liked that the couple worked together—their communication wasn’t always perfect—but they learned to believe in each other and their love. The last few chapters of the book were very intense; with brotherly rivalry, business decisions and family and romantic pressures all coming into play. The ending was fabulous and full of Hope!
A Love So Sweet has it all- characters who will steal your heart, beautiful settings, an emotional story filled with joy, passion, forgiveness, love and a bit of magic. I loved every word—and hope you will too!

Loved this book. It is Book 1 of the Bradens but does include some characters from the previous Love In Bloom: Snow Sisters series. The back story gives additional depth to the characters but is not needed to fully enjoy this book. Melissa continues to develop complex characters with all of the drama of real life people. Other than Treat's money, they could be the couple down the block trying to get past misunderstandings & previous hurts to find a way to be together. The scenes descriptions are wonderful. The changing point of views threw me for a little but as I got into the story, it was easy to navigate.
This is a story about relationships and overcoming obstacles in order to be successful. The interactions between the characters draw you in and make you want to learn more about them. Melissa's writing brings in past characters and creates a strong sense of family. Treat's mother passing away when he was young affected him in new and different ways than the rest of the family. How he comes to terms with this loss & the way it molded him is a compelling part of the story. Max has her own issues that she has to deal with before they can have a successful relationship. This is a book that once I started reading, I couldn't put it down. I loved it the first time & even more so now.

This is the sweet version of Melissa Foster's Love in Bloom: Lovers at Heart, The Bradens at Weston.
The love story between Treat Braden and Max Armstrong is so beautiful.
After first meeting in the Caribbean at Treat's cousin Blake's wedding, there was a misunderstanding between them, but neither has forgotten the other...
When Treat returns to Colorado to visit his family he bumps into Max. Their love story begins in Colorado, but also visits Cape Cod.
From the mountains of Colorado, the Braden ranch (with all those hunky men), to Wellfleet in Cape Cod (where the Seaside gang reside) - this books has it all. Wonderful locations, hunky alpha males, sassy females, a tender love story, and the most touching family connections.
Don't miss out on this epic read! <3

Treat Braden thinks he knows Max Armstrong inside and out when they first meet, but boy is he wrong. The chemistry is nothing either of them can ignore, but much deeper issues pull them apart, leaving Treat hurt, and questioning a lot more than he wanted to admit. Treat isn't the only one who is hurting either. Max a successful event planner loves her job, yet has her own past demons she's trying to face. While she had been drawn to Treat for many reasons, she wasn't ready to open herself up for a relationship. Regret and heartache weight heavily on both but Max cannot seem to face Treat and let him know just what made her walk away from him.
Heading home to try and pick up the pieces in his life, Braden not only has a relationship to move on from but some major trust , and family issues that must be faced. Yet his mind still wonders back to Max, and what happened. Unable to fully turn away , Braden sees a second chance when he meets Max again and vows to correct his own mistake. While the heat intensifies with each chapter, so does the question of whether both of them can be able to move forwards from the past together- or alone.
Will Max turn away from him again for good? Will they be able to build a relationship on trust and work through things together ? You'll have to pick up a copy of A Love So Sweet to find out!
This was a great read, very sweet story between Treat and Max. It was a pleasure to read how they both grew on their own and then were willing to try again when the relationship failed the first time. Another heartwarming, sweet story filled with passion, forgiveness and inner beauty. If you enjoy a great heartwarming read, this book is for you!

Addison Cole is the sweet alter ego of Melissa Foster and it is a version of her books that is a little less sexy and more sweet.
On that note I say that Max and Treat's story is so good that you can read it in all the versions!
Max and Treat's story is the beginning of it all for me. I remember I was browsing through my favorite book vendor as I wanted to read books in English. I found out this Lovers at Heart and fell in love with Melissa Foster's Love in Bloom world. I have read all the Braden's story and always wondered about Max and Treat.
I confess that when Melissa Foster informed in her Facebook page that she was re-imagining their story and giving them a second look, I was kind of afraid. But, all my fears were in vain... This is their love story and it is really a second look, a new way of reading with more insightful details about how they are feeling and why they take some actions.
The romance is the same but with great new views and angles that makes you enjoy them more and more.
Melissa Foster is a great author and I admire her for putting the author's ego aside and re-imagining this great love story and turning it into a better and wonderful first tale of the Braden's.

In an Oyster Shell - This is my favorite sweet with heat romance by far. A hint of the cape yet grounded with a Colorado setting, it's refreshing and leaves one turning the pages.
The Pearls - I am always eager to pick up a sweet with heat novel. This one blew me out of the water. I've followed Addison through her other books, and it was nice to have a new setting. Mostly set in Colorado, the new setting is refreshing with the hint of Cape I've grown to love in these books.
I really liked the touch of hard reality in this story. I liked that this book touched on some harder issues. I am learning that I like my sweet with a little bit of grit because that is real life. The hard issues were handled well and one still gets there HEA despite a touch of reality.
Treat and Max was the most adorable couple! I liked how head over heels in love with each other they were. Treat was the utmost gentleman which allowed Max to come out of her shell. It was the best romance in the sweet with heat line I have read.

“It’s not you and me; it’s us”.
Some people are harder to forget because they not only touched your heart but imprinted your soul. This amazing love story is about how trust, loyalty, love and friendship can glue back together a broken spirit. When you are surrounded by strong family ties and loyal friends; you can overcome anything ! I couldn’t help myself and fall deeply in love with Treat and his whole family.
I loved the characters; Max and Treat’s chemistry is palpable and you can feel their mutual growing feelings. They each go thru real life matters and it’s touching how they try to heal each other. There is so much emotions emanating from the Braden’s clan that I had to stop reading for a minute and absorb it all.
Can’t wait for Rex Braden’s story and see what’s in store for him!

Max and Treat fell for each other over many phone calls while helping to plan a wedding. A few hours of passion should've been the beginning of the story, but a misunderstanding quickly made it the end...
Until a chance encounter gives them a second chance at love. Can they get past their histories and give each other another chance at life?
I love Mrs. Cole's Sweet With Heat stories! It's a wonderful, heartfelt romance without too much detail or explicit scenes. It's perfect for when you when you want something sweet instead of something raunchy.
I have volunteered to share my review and all the opinions are 100% my own.

Treat Braden has decided to go home. Someone very important to him is his sister, Savannah. You will find her story in the book titled Bursting With Love – this is not a Sweet With Heat version. Max Armstrong seems to be a little skittish around men. But that doesn’t stop Treat from being enamored with her.
Treat is a man who likes to tease – both with Max and us. I got to the point where there was no way I was turning away – unless I come notice that my tablet’s battery life is dwindling. There are relationship ups and downs, which helps to make the storyline seem so realistic, and that’s part of what keeps my attention. I ended up feeling the need to check out a movie festival. A nearby town has a small one that will be coming up soon. I would say that this book is an incentive to set the mood but I’m afraid that the films would just draw my attention away from our couple. But it would be a good way to people watch and see if I can scope out anyone that would fit my preconceived notion of our couple.
I love how the author takes a story that originally had plenty of heat and change it up enough that she leaves more to my imagination. You get to decide how you want to fill in the blanks if you so choose. Treat’s theme seems to be patience but there were times that word became particularly tough for me. Our main characters are the ones to decide when things were to be revealed – we have no choice but to sit back and enjoy the ride. They show the difficulties that can sometimes happen when trying to develop a new relationship.
Our author has me feeling as if the Bradens are including the reader into their family unit. I made a promise to myself that I would make the trek across the state of Massachusetts. Will need to make sure my tablet has plenty of power because there are plenty of this author’s work that will be coming with me. But since the Bradens are just getting started with us, I may have to make multiple trips since I expect to get to know this family and their loves for a little while more. I’ll have to scope out the perfect place to sit and shut off the rest of the world so I can get pulled into all the characters that have a connection to Wellfleet. Ms. Cole is getting me ready for Rex’s story so my trip may have to be postponed for a little while because I have at least one more book to put on to my Cape reading list. Plus by the time I got to the end of this story I was still left wanting to know more about Savannah.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.

This beautiful story had a little bit of everything...family, loss, love, passion, forgiveness and friendship. Not only did we watch a relationship grow between Treat and Max, we also experienced the wonderful Braden family, and got a taste of each sibling, as well as Hal, the patriarch. For those who love a whole lotta family with their romance, this book is a fabulous beginning.
Sexy Treat is a shrewd business who goes after what he wants. And this extends to his private life, as he is ready to go all in as soon as her meets Max. Of course, misunderstandings have a way of interfering with the best of intentions, but this was not a long, drawn out process. Thank goodness, because nobody likes those hurdles!
Max is a strong, capable woman in her professional life, but a traumatic event n her personal life has stunted her emotional growth. While she trusts Treat and the wonderful, caring way he treats her, Max needs to face her past before it affects her future.
I loved these two characters. Treat is definitely a man’s man...tough, no-nonsense and hard working. But he’s also loving, sweet, romantic and funny. What girl can resist that charm? This is where Addison Cole shines as a writer. She gives us these characters that you first think are too good to be true, but she builds them with not only honor but with flaws, too...just like the everyday people you see in your own lives.
While a sweet book, with no swearing and no sex, A Love So Sweet is plenty hot! Probably more so than if we were spoon fed the bedroom (or wherever) action...because we, the reader, get to write that part in our imaginations. Cool, huh!?
I’ll be back for more Braden stories...they really are irresistible.

I have been spoiled by Addison Cole's Seaside and Bayside series. It is hard for any other series to shine as brightly in my eyes.
This new series, featuring the Bradens, has characters you'll quickly care about. I love that Addison writes such strong, intelligent female protagonists. Even though Treat Braden makes more money than he can spend in several lifetimes, his love for and loyalty to family are what make him most attractive to me. The description of each of his brothers has me hungrily anticipating their individual stories in this series. (There is a preview at the end of this book.)
Whether you believe in love at first sight or not, it is undeniable that Max and Treat have chemistry.
Max is a beautiful, successful, independent woman with one major flaw. Underneath her collected exterior, her self confidence regarding her personal life is flailing. That is the major issue that could keep her, keep THEM, from their happily ever after ending.
The attraction between them begins before they meet face to face. That eventual meeting starts the true sparks flying, but a misunderstanding puts the brakes on quickly. That doesn't tamp the flames out, though.
Treat is not without his flaws and fractured past. I'm not going to give any spoilers, but it is his connection to family that brings this book home for me.
Yes- this book is sweet. While clean, not graphic, the romance does indeed have HEAT. Because of her mental struggling, they take the physical side slow, often with Treat being the one to step back. Prepare for your engine to be revved without exploding into full combustion on every page.
The characters will mature and change as this relationship develops.

'A Love So Sweet' is the first book in the Weston Braden series by Addison Cole, and it is a sweet love story about Treat Braden and Max Armstrong.
Treat is the eldest of six siblings, he is suave, a business tycoon and is used to always getting what he wants. So when he encounters Max at his cousin's wedding in Nassau, he very much wants her. After an unfortunate misunderstanding that allows them to part ways, both are left with a lingering lasting impression of the other which they are unable to forget.
Max is a strong, independent woman who is very successful in her profession. She is determined and refuses to let anyone see the true version of herself. Treat is able to instantly see through her facade and is determined to break down the walls that Max attempts to place around herself in order to stay away from him.
This book captures the initial 'spark' of chemistry between lovers well and is a beautifully written romance that is full of sweetness, lovey-dovey moments and cuteness. Cole has the ability to create characters with interesting quirks and relatable issues and will have you hooked on this series after the first few pages. It is a story of overcoming and personifies love well.
It is the perfect introduction into the world of the Braden's and an addictive read. I would recommend to anyone who loves romance novels, enjoys reading books that are part of a series or is just a genereal fan of chicklit. It will have you swooning all the way to pre-ordering the others.

I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
A Love So Sweet tells the story of Max and Treat, two individuals who come together after spending one romantic evening together at their friends' wedding. That night in Nassau, both Treat and Max knew that the spark between them was too powerful to ignore. However, Max's past holds her back from taking things any further. To boot, a misunderstanding from Treat has Max flashing back to her hurtful past.
Fast forward a few months, and Max and Treat have a chance encounter at a film festival in Colorado. The story continues to unfold from there.
This book was pretty good! I loved the characters, and I'm very intrigued by the Braden family. The storyline moved at a good pace, but I did grow tired of Max's reservations.
Max's past is brought up near the beginning of the book, and while it does get resolved, I felt that it kept coming up quite a bit. Treat and Max would be having a wonderful time, and then Max would withdraw.
Treat also has a past to deal with, but it is focused more on the family side of things. Both Max and Treat have to overcome their pasts in order to accept both themselves and their relationship.
I did love this romance, though! It was a very good story of the characters falling for each other. I wish I had the story of their night together in Nassau - that could have been an entire book!
If you love easy romances, I would definitely recommend this book! Addison Cole is a wonderful author and tells great romances without being too risque or vulgar.

If you are new to Addison Cole, A Love So Sweet is going to open your eyes to the wonderful, sweet Love in Bloom Series. If you are a fan of Addison Cole, A Love So Sweet is going to introduce you to the wonderful Braden Family. Treat is the first Braden that we get to meet and he is so yummy. Strong, successful, sexy, and loving are all word I use to describe Treat Braden. He is the oldest of the Braden family and with the death of his mother took a lot on his shoulder as a young man. Now he is successful, met a woman he can’t get out of his heart or head, and has returned home to visit. What he doesn’t expect is for Max, the woman he can’t get over, to be in his hometown.
I love the relationship between Treat and Max. He woos her, he treats her like a queen, and yet he stays true to his family and his values. He appreciates Max’s strengths, helps her stay strong when she feels weak, and loves her more than she ever imagined being loved. Max, in turn, respects Treat’s love of family, understands his strong sense of business, and knows that he needs to be in charge of the relationship most of the time. I love how perfect these two are together.
As the beginning of a whole new look at a series that I already love, I am excited to get to know the rest of the Braden’s. To learn how they fit together as a family and also to keep caught up on Treat and Max’s relationship.

This gives a good insight in the Weston Braden family. Their family values are exceptional. To them, family always comes first.
Treat is the oldest brother and besides his business, he takes the well being of his family seriously. He is so busy that he doesn't visit the ranch as often as he would like, but if there is a family crisis, he is always there.
Max dedicates most of her life to her job. She is so disappointed with her ex boyfriend that she stays at arms length from any relationship. She has a trust issues. She is insecure as well.
They meet at a wedding and strike what could have been a good relationship. Alas a misconception leads to a misunderstanding. Something that could have been rectified at the time. They return to their usual lives, but neither of them is able to forget their time together. They have been struck by lightning. They unexpectedly meet again and the feelings are still there. Will they kiss and make up or will past experiences get the better of them?
Treat is a gentleman through and through. He is caring and honest. Max finds it difficult to forget the past. Their relationship is sweet, but sometimes Max allows her insecurities to get in the way. They have their happy ending once they overcome these barriers.
It's a sweet romance which is frustrating at times. It's well portrayed and highlights the meaning of true love and family values.

Addison Cole has a way of writing romance stories that warm your heart but still have a bit of sexiness and chemistry to them. “A Love so Sweet” is no exception.
Treat Braden and Max Armstrong have a bit of a back story that is alluded to in this book. They were both involved in his cousin’s wedding and they were attracted to each other at that time but did not act on that attraction.
Fast forward to the present…and they meet again. This time, that chemistry between them is too much to ignore and they begin a tentative relationship
.
Treat is the oldest sibling in the Braden clan and as a young boy, felt he had to “man up” and take care of his siblings when their mother died. He has carried the burden of guilt for many years for leaving to go to college and for feeling a bit of relief that he was far away from the family ranch and the responsibilities he had left behind. That guilt was the force behind him that drove him to success in his business dealings.
Max is dealing with her own demons from the past…which keep her from totally giving of herself in any relationship. She is drawn to Treat’s strength and his love for his family but finds herself doubting that she can be all that he needs.
How they overcome their pasts and the obstacles to their future is what this book is all about. I enjoyed their story and look forward to reading more of Addison’s books.

Treat can't get Max out of his head. They had one night together and she's all he can think about. He feels terrible about the way he behaved the next morning when he saw her in the lobby with another guy-still in the same clothes she was in when she left him. Old wounds played a major role in his behavior, but he knows that is no excuse. He's going home for some family time & hopefully he can forget about Max.
Max is the right hand person to Chaz the Indie Film festival organizer and this week the festival is in Weston Colorado. Max is trying to stop the papparazzi from bothering one of the "stars" who has shown up for the festival. When she looks down from her perch atop the car--there he is Treat Braden. She had thought she was done with him, but her pulse races and she can't speak. They had one night together and it was magical. She didn't stay the night and the way he treated her the next morning when he saw her with Justin reminded her of her ex. She should have gone after him and explained that nothing happened, but the past got in her way.
They are in the same town again? Will they be able to put the past behind them and find their way to each other? Another Braden story you must read!!

Treat Braden is everything a woman would want for a partner in a relationship. He is smart, strong, sensitive, caring and, of course, incredibly handsome. But, having lost his mother at an early age, he, as the oldest of 6, took on the responsibility of helping his siblings get through their grief growing up without her.
As the oldest, he carries guilt as an adult, because he left home for college and felt relief about that. He never abandoned his family, and loved them dearly, but was happy to move forward toward new things in his life.
Max Armstrong is a smart, beautiful, successful career woman who has demons of her own to face if she is ever going to have any kind of romantic relationship in her future. An event from her past has kept her in a holding pattern in the relationship department. She has issues to face and resolve when she and Treat meet.
One evening together and these two feel instant chemistry. But, a misunderstanding between them ends their instant connection until they run into each other sometime later.
He wants her. She wants him. Both have issues to overcome before they can find their way to their forever love.

A Love So Sweet is another story by the brilliant Melissa Foster's alter ego, Addison Cole. Treat Braden and Max Armstrong got to know each other while planning a wedding over the phone. So when they finally met, sparks shot everywhere, but because of misunderstanding, angst levels suddenly took off. That brought on a push & pull that frustrated me to no end, as I was ready to choke people, but we all know that finding love isn't always perfect. Luckily for me, there's a cast of secondaries in his brothers especially, who were the voice of reason when he & I were both losing our heads, on top of providing laughter to the mix, even when rivalries were everywhere. I think what I most loved about this story was the realistic feel, as Max & Treat were slowly getting back on track. Both had past trust issues, so they really nailed the learning to communicate, though not always perfectly. The story moved quickly to the finale which left me with my heart full to bursting. It was a sweet experience to introduce the Weston Bradens to everyone. HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

Oh my gosh! A Love so Sweet is one of the loveliest books I have read this year! And a great introduction to the Braden family.
Treat (yes that’s the name, I did double check) Braden is back from yet another high profile meeting, making him more successful, but a job that keeps him away from his family, but now he is back home, suffering from burn out, and a case of obsession (not creepy) over a women he can’t get out of his head! But someone he made a mistake with and acted like a jerk! But as soon as he sees her again, he knows he needs to make it right.
Max Armstrong is a strong woman! Except when it comes to Treat Braden, then she turns in to a pile of goo! But when he accused her of something she didn’t do, he hurt her more than she would have believed! And even though they work it out, there is something Max needs to find closure on, and the first step is that is to tell Treat everything!
This is an amazing book from Addison Cole and a great start to a new series! It has the right amount of everything and makes you want to have Treat in your life too!
I give A Love so Sweet 5 stars

A Love So Sweet is Addison Cole’s first book in her Weston Braden series and is the story of Max and Treat.
Treat is the oldest Braden son and a self-made millionaire – described in the book as “… guys who look like Greek gods, smell like hot summer nights, and whose eyes scream of sinful promises…” - he could have any women he wanted. Max is a beautiful women, amazing at her job, but who’s past makes her believe that she doesn’t deserve a happily ever after of her own.
They met for the first time at Max’s boss’s wedding at Treat’s resort in Nassau and the sparks were there from the start but a simple misunderstanding snuffed out a chance for them to get to know each other better or did it?
Addison Cole has an knack for weaving stories that are so real that you feel like you could meet these characters on the street tomorrow.
Addison’s books are sweet with just a little heat so they are perfect for everyone to read. And who doesn’t want a man who calls his love – “Sweetness”

Treat and Max have an intense connection and they once was able to share that for one night but its been a while and they are able to see each other and see where this can take them. In this book they explore boundaries, share secrets and see where their lives are headed with work as things aren't set in stone.
This was such a great book. I really enjoyed seeing that passion between Trent and Max. I loved getting to know them and seeing what they were dealing with when it came to pasts, secrets, family life and just work in general. I loved seeing how obstacles were faced and seeing hard choices being made. But what I really loved was seeing that connection between the two and how passionate scenes were steamy but not too much in detail which I appreciate. This was a pretty great book and I really enjoyed it, I know what this the start of a series and I can't wait to see whats in store for the next characters!
