Rainbow River #1
Sweet Things
This bad boy Chef just lost the only home he’s ever had.
I spent the last decade building a restaurant and running a kitchen I’m proud of, but with one selfish choice, my brother destroys it all. I’ve sacrificed everything—including any chance at a love life—and I’ve ended up with nothing.
Well, not exactly nothing.
Inheriting part ownership of a dilapidated inn and sprawling lavender farm in a wacky river town with four other guys I’ve never met is not exactly my idea of a great career change. But I’ve got to cook somewhere and Rainbow River isn’t Portland, but the town’s got a brisk tourist trade and my new business partners have the skills to whip the inn and land into shape as long as I can bring the kitchen up to snuff. It’ll be a new start.
And this time, I’ll take the lesson my brother’s betrayal taught me to heart and trust no one.
I’m resolved. I’m determined. Then Liam Tindall walks back into my life.
And all that resolve? Out the damn window.
This sweet Baker is all about hearth and home.
I never expected to see the sad-eyed Chef I’d spent a steamy and delicious night with again. But just days after I get home to Rainbow River after my better-than-chocolate encounter with Clay and there he is: standing on the old inn’s steps and telling me that he’s part owner of the place. Which means Clay is one of my best friend’s new business partners.
More than anything, my best friend wants the inn to succeed. Which means I can’t be flirting with the Chef who’s going to be a big part of that success. So now I’ve got a man hotter-than-scorched-sugar living right down the road from me and I shouldn’t even be looking, let alone thinking about touching. I tell myself I can stay away from temptation. That it’s the kind of messy even I won’t get involved in.
Next thing I know, Clay’s in my bakery every day making lunches for the inn’s construction crew and getting me to school him on the finer quirks of our illustrious town council in exchange for meat-smoking lessons (no, not that kind of meat, get your mind out of the gutter!), plus being all irresistible and stuff.
So when one kiss leads to another…well, you know the deal.
Some sweet things are hard to resist and even harder to keep secret.
But secrets in a small town don’t stay secret for long. And when this secret gets out?
Whoo, boy. Rainbow River is never going to be the same.
SWEET THINGS is 92K and is the first book in the Rainbow River Series, where five very different men receive an unexpected inheritance and come together to bring a beloved friend’s old Inn back to its former glory—while finding love and a new home in the quirky town of Rainbow River, where true love is never lost without being found again.

I loved this book. I loved Clay and Liam. I loved Rainbow River and the crazy town people. I loved all of the guys. I loved Amos. Basically I loved everything.
There was some error which of course are quite forgiven since I think this is the authors very first book. Especially the romance beats being a little bit off. it's not easy getting it right.
This is supposed to be a series but nothing have been published since 2019. I really hope the author will come back to it.

I liked the premise of this. And I liked it for the first 1/3.... but slowly it started to lose me.
First, there is the fact that there are a few editing issues:
Words missing in sentences. "[...] and I had no idea to do with it but [...]". Or letters missing in words. "I you don't get in that shower you have running [...]" or "That would serve my purposes at all.". Words put in the wrong order. "Well, that wasn't sexy?".
The narrative is told in past tense, but it randomly lapses into present tense throughout for a sentence or two. It doesn't happen often, but it was distracting when it did.
There were formatting issues. Chapter 24 starts in the middle of Chapter 23 as just one bold, capitalized line, as opposed to starting on it's own page with the chapter and POV as a header. One sentences breaks off in the middle with a double space and picks up after the break in a new paragraph:
Honestly, there was also a lot of sex in this. Like, don't you guys have work to do?
Between all the sex scenes, all the focus on Ward & Grayson, the small town -isms, there was a lot of things that made this feel really dragged out. I honestly could have done with it being 2/3 of the length it is, and it would have been much better paced and kept my interest more. The last 40% of this, I was just trying to get through it as fast as possible, but found myself constantly putting it down anyway. A book of this length should typically take me a day to read, but I took like 6 days to force myself to read all this.
And obviously I'm nuts, because I'm debating reading the next book... though I probably won't in the end.
I've also never seen "heat" used so much in a book that wasn't Omegaverse.... often in reference to Liam's ass: his tight heat, into that fucking glorious tightwethotheat, all tight heat and dark eyes, the gripping heat.

“Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all.” ~ Harriet Van Horne
On the night his restaurant is closing, Clay is morbidly depressed. He will miss his employees and the regular clients he has grown to know and love. He does not want to sell, but his treacherous, scheming brother ruined it all by demanding that Clay do so to satisfy his need for “fame”. Clay is about to leave when he hears tapping on the front door. Clay expects his brother to be on the other side and is looking forward to blasting him with his anger; he is not prepared for the ‘Greek god’ who stands before him. The man sees how sad Clay is and is determined to put a smile on his face, no matter what lengths he needs to go to.
Clay’s mentor and long-time friend, Amos, has died; Clay heads to the memorial service in his hometown in Rainbow River. Clay can easily see that he wasn’t the only one Amos helped over the years. When the lawyer for Amos’s estate asks Clay to meet him at his office in reference to Amos’s will, Clay is curious, wondering why Amos would leave him anything. When he arrives, there are four other men there as well. The lawyer explains that Amos left all five of them an old inn, knowing that, with the expertise the five bring to the project, the inn could be developed into a fantastic, successful restaurant.
After the meeting, Clay’s curiosity gets the best of him. Although it is not a done deal, he wants to see the inn and imagine the possibilities. When he sees what the inn has to offer, Clay is hopeful. It will cost a fortune to repair it, but Amos also left enough money to make it happen. Clay is standing at the top of the stairs, when he hears a voice call out. The face that matches the voice is no other than the no-name stranger who rocked Clay’s world; the one whom he never expected to see again. There is little doubt in Clay’s mind that seeing Liam again is more than coincidence.
This is a great start to delightful new series. Even the name, Rainbow River, brings a smile to my face. In some ways, it’s much like any other small town, with its quirks, lack of privacy, unfathomable customs, and wickedly eccentric characters, who give the town charm and an odd sense of order. The town seems to have unmitigated belief in tradition, open-mindedness, and loyalty. Love is love in this town and bigotry is not tolerated. Thanks, Mia, for bringing Clay and Liam together and making it “impossible” for them to ignore each other. I can hardly wait to see what happens next in Rainbow River.

Pro: Loved the small town setting and the cast of characters in this series.
Pro: The pairings are super on point. I like the idea of a chef and baker together. Of an antiques dealer and a businessman, etc.
Con: Liam thinking it was a wise decision to not pursue a relationship because Grayson had enough on his plate. That makes no sense. Grayson isn’t the one in the relationship and being a business partner to Clay isn’t such an obstacle. It was entirely unnecessary for Liam to do this push and pull dance with Clay and then to ghost him because their “secret relationship” was found out. The very same relationship that was only secret because Liam was immature and a coward. I kept rolling my eyes through all that and wishing he would just grow up.
Con: Every one siding with Grayson over Ward. That was bull. They kept treating Grayson like he was this fragile china doll and is was driving me mad. At some point Grayson needs to ball up and move on or just accept that he’s not brave enough to fight for what he truly wants. And Ward should just move on from the clusterf*** of a relationship or whatever it is that he and Grayson have. It seems super unhealthy, especially with Daisy (Grayson’s daughter) being caught in the middle of it. Sure it would be great if they got together but quite frankly, Grayson doesn’t act like he is worthy of relationship and Ward needs to stop accepting the position of his doormat so that Grayson can just walk all over him. Yes Ward is grumpy but I would be too if the dude I was OBVIOUSLY interested in and was OBVIOUSLY interested in me kept pushing me away because of bs. 🙄
That being said, I would like to read their story but will bet that they will be the last ones to get theirs. That’s usually how it goes 😩🤣.

I liked Clay as the character in this sweet fast developing romance, but couldn't really connect with Liam. His hot and cold attitude toward Clay wasn't logical. His behavior and hiding his feeling just because of his best friend was idiotic and illogical to me. From that point I didn't like Clay as a character. But at least we got an ending with HEA.

I am not a fan of Insta love usually. But this one hooked me from the beginning. I loved how the MCs Clay and Liam came together in th beginning, their connection and their subsequent reunion.
The story had really interesting secondary characters and was a fast read. What I didn't like about this was the unnecessary drama surrounding Liam's BBF Grayson. I felt it was overly dramatic.

4.5 stars.
I'm going back and clearing out old review drafts. I kind of freaked myself out when I saw that I read this just days shy of 5 years ago.
Geez.
I remember enjoying the book, though I wasn't overly eager to jump into the rest of the series at the time. Maybe I'll revisit it someday.

Small-town + M/M = amazing!!
Can’t say enough how much I enjoyed this book. I couldn’t put it down and I immediately started reading the next book once I finished this one.
Liam + Clay are perfect for each other and I loved their journey. Amazing what a magical small town can do to create happiness for those who believe in that perfect love. Such love able side characters help create a great story!
Can’t wait for the rest of the business partners to get their HEA!!

Sometimes you find that special book that you never knew was coming; that book that grips you immediately and leaves you dying for more. Sweet Things is one such book. As the first book in Mia Scott's Rainbow River series, it's a magnificent surprise.
From the start, I love how perfect Jack's voice is for his personality. Non stop chatter, non stop thoughts, long winded monologues. He comes in like a hurricane and the author perfectly captures this aspect of him.
The story itself is a complex tale with many complicated dynamics between different characters. Everyone is developed in a way that's easy to remember who everyone is, and easy to follow. An amazing small town romance, some of the older town folks are wonderful. Hopefully you'll be charmed by them as much as I am. I love the town, I love the people. The mentor backstory is charming and inspiring, as is everything in this book.
Clay and Liam are a fabulous couple. Both are likeable characters who quickly worm their way in the reader's heart. Clay's transformation from the reclusive chef we meet at the beginning to the open and loving man he is at the end is fantastic. If you love character growth, you'll love Clay.
Their tale includes a hot hook up, a surprise meeting, and what seems like a little bit of fate. It includes new opportunities, and a well executed reason to keep Clay in town.
Mia Scott clearly excels at writing interesting, natural, and seemless dialogue. As this can be one of my big pet peeves, I am beyond impressed. It's flawless in my eyes, as it's perfectly developed and executed. The characters and the town are clearly described, bringing us along for the ride.
Sweet Things is absolutely delightful. I am thrilled to have found this gem. It's perfect when you're looking for something with Hallmark movie feel to it. And it's clearly the start of what could be an extraordinary series. I desperately need more of these people, more of this town, and will anxiously awaiting more of them.

This was a first book for me by this author. It definitely won't be the last. Clay is an up and coming chef has just suffered a double loss, both in his professional and personal life. He has a hot encounter with a very sweet guy, never expecting to meet him again. Liam is a baker in a small, quirky town Rainbow River. When Clay arrives in town for his close friend and mentor's funeral, it seems like fate when they meet again. Clay is still reeling from his friends death and a brutal betrayal from his brother, who he's always cleaned up messes for. When he's given an opportunity for a new business venture, he grabs it with both hands because it has the added bonus of staying in town with Liam. I loved the slow buildup of their relationship and getting to know the whole cast of characters that reside in Rainbow River. I also loved getting to know the great group of friends introduced and I can't wait for them all to have their own HEA.

This book! This book is so so good! I'm not sure where Mia Scott has been my whole life but she is brilliant! I can't get enough of how she hooks us with a hot scene right in the beginning, then cools it down until everything starts to slowly smolder again. Done improperly, the premise of what keeps Clay in the town of Rainbow River might be reaching, but somehow Mia has woven all these fraying threads into one cohesive quilt. Clay and Liam are beliveable and entirely loveable characters. The skillful way that Mia has given us a peek into the stories of the men to come has me recommending this book all over the place already. Truly well written and immensely enjoyable. I'll be waiting on tenterhooks for the next in the Rainbow River Series.

This book is sweet as Liam’s cookies!
After an instalust encounter with an unnamed beautiful stranger in the kitchen of his closed, Clay arrives in this surreal little town of Rainbow River (a modern Walnut Grove of the Little House on the Prairie) where everybody lives together finding its own place in the world, respecting the others and pursuing happiness through hard work and according to each personal inclination. People from the outside world either fall in love with the town and its spirit or they succumb to the strength given by strong ties to the characters’ chosen family and friends.
Very low angst, a lot of hot moments between the sheets and a HEA that leaves you wanting to read more.

Quirky and sweet
I loved this cute introduction to the town of Rainbow River, and I think I've found a new favourite author.
There are a few editing quirks, like sometimes the writing switches from past to present and back (which could be a carefully chosen choice, as there are a couple of times it almost comes across as an aside to the reader, a la Deadpool); but when she gets it right, the prose is gorgeous and witty and some kind of inventive.
The main characters have so much chemistry, are completely loveable and the supporting characters are full of life and I kind of want to live in Rainbow River now.

Interesting and a bit Frustrating
Clay and Liam make an interesting couple, no doubt about that, but their interactions can be frustrating at times. They skate close to miscommunication but the author skillfully weaves understanding into each scene when it is needed to avoid that pitfall. Good character development and supporting cast. There were several emotionally touching moments and a smooth end to this book which promises a HEA for Clay and Liam and hints at more to come.
The community has quite a collection of weirdly unique cast members so I expect more books in this series.

DNF 53%
I finally got to the sex scene.... and realized I was super uncomfortable. I don't know what it was about this book, but I just truly cannot seem to get into it.
I think it might be Liam's character. The way he was described vs. the way he acts, it doesn't match up in my head. I typically like characters like Liam, so I can only believe that would be why.
It had all the makings of a good book, tbh. There was just some huge disconnect.
I'm also not a foodie, and this book definitely is a good one for food lovers.
I believe this is Mia Scott's first book, and you can tell in her writing. It was good, not great.

First meeting with a small, charming town filled with original, funny and so brilliant people you can’t help but wish you were able to visit!
Mia Scott takes us on a journey to a riveting location, lets us meet fascinating people and, to top it all off, we get a first row seat for a show of two quirky, complicated men finding each other.
All the settings and characters are so well described and so vivid, imagining it all is very easy, which makes the book a great read. A sweet story with a dash of angst to spice things up. :)

Absolutely lovely
This is my second time reading this book and I can’t get enough of Liam and Clay. I’m hoping the series continues after Wild Heart!

Dynamite and outstanding
This is the first time I’ve read this author but they are now on my must read list. Liam is hilarious, caring, and wonderful. Clay is strong, caring, and tries to help even when it will hurt him. As these two work together, everything falls into place for them except for Liam’s protective nature towards his best friend and fear of hurting him. The town is so incredible and life like that you’ll want to visit.

Sweet love story
Liam and Clay are instantly attracted to each other. The problem is that Liam doesn't think his best friend will take it well. That means lots of sex.
The book has its laugh out loud moments. I also felt like I really got to know the characters--they aren't all just nice guys. The full-length novel format helps.

A sweet book just like the title. This the first time I've read this author and she did a great job. The book is sweet and romantic. A loss really brought Clay and Liam and both MCs were a delight to read and I'm looking forward to the next book in this series.

Cute. And sickeningly sweet. As is fitting, when, one of the dudes is a chef. Guess I couldn't really see why Liam was so terrified of Grayson finding out. But, to each their own. Made me really dislike Grayson was all. Which doesn't bode well. Can't wait for the next one!

Gr8 story.
Love the story but like so many of the books I read the proof reading seen non-existent which is a pity. Loveable characters and plot and as for the sex...... I wish I had that much energy!!!!!!

Loved this!
This is the first book I’ve read by this author and it was really excellent. Vivid characters, crazy small town cuteness, heartfelt MCs. Just great.

Great book
I really enjoyed this book and can’t wait for more of this series. Both clay and Liam were great characters and the story was engaging and moved well.

By far one of the best books 📚I've read this year. Once I started it I couldn't put it down. Way to go.
