Fall in love with another irresistible stand-alone Sweetbriar Cove romance from New York Times bestselling author, Melody Grace!
Stella Hart doesn't believe in fairy-tales. After all, even Cinderella didn't spend her day up to her elbows in other people's plumbing. But when an unplanned pregnancy sent her life off course, it was the community in Sweetbriar Cove that stepped up to offer a hand. Now, she's proud of her business and the life she's built for her son. She isn't expecting Prince Charming to walk through the door -- and she definitely doesn't expect him to take the shape of the handsome high-achiever who owes her a kiss...
Aidan Kinsella was on top of the world -- until one reckless error sent him crashing back down to earth. Now he's hiding out in Sweetbriar Cove, trying to plan his next move. Except it turns out, his feisty neighbor is a constant distraction. She's down-to-earth, practical -- and practically irresistible...
Soon, sparks are flying between the unlikely couple, but Stella isn't looking to play games. Their attraction spells major trouble for the steady life she's worked so hard to build, and as they grow closer, she can't help wondering when their fairy-tale romance will have to end. Will the story finish too soon, or can Stella and Aidan find their happily-ever-after?
When Stella arrived there about 14 years ago, she was immediately embraced by the people in the community. She was a young mother with no family around her and she often struggled to make ends meet. The generosity of the people she met in this place is what helped her through some really tough times. Some of them are like family to her now.
Stella is self employed as a plumber and very sought after seeing as she is the only one in town. Her son Matt is now a teenager and a testament wonderful to the upbringing his mother gave him. Stella has been single for a long time, preferring to focus on being a good mum and being able to provide for them both.
Aidan Kinsella is the eldest of the Kinsella boys and has had a high flying career in finance. He has always felt like he needed to be successful to prove he could take care of his family - his parents and siblings - in case any of them ever needed his help. No one asked this of him, it’s just something he decided to do himself. After a bad decision leaves his career in tatters he heads to the cove to get his head back together.
When Aidan returns home, news travels fast and before long his siblings are invading his space and time. A lot has changed since he was last home, it seems like everyone has fallen in love and moving into a new phase of life. Well, except him that is. The attempts to match make him almost begin immediately but the last thing he needs in his life is more complications and he finds that is usually the case with the women he has dated.
Stella is surprised to discover her new neighbour is Aidan Kinsella, they have met before but this time the experience is even more memorable - if not slightly awkward. However, there is definitely a spark between them and it doesn’t take long to ignite. Stella is very protective of the life she has built in the cove but Aidan is a welcome disruption to her routined world. Aidan has never met anyone like Stella and he can’t seem to get her out of his head, or bed for that matter… Maybe putting down permanent roots isn’t such a bad idea after all?
I have only read a few of the stories in this series and each time I read another I effortlessly slipped back into the comfort of Sweetbriar Cove like I had never left. The Kinsella family are fun to read about and fiercely protective of the people they love.
I had this on Kindle for a while. I wasn't feeling too great so this worked for an easy read. It's been a while since I read a Sweetbriar book, I'm not too familiar with the Kinsella brood. But I think I read Jackson's book. This is mostly a spin off from the original characters but this just as good.
Stella is a the best plumber at the Cove, interesting career that and not typical at all. Her backstory was she's been estranged from her wealthy family eversince she got pregnant and has been working hard and doing everything on her own independent. She's always on the go now a days until Adam walks back into to town. Adam had fallen from his high in finance world after a bad deal and thinking things over where to go from there.
They shared a memorable kiss that wasn't forgotten though they started out rocky in the beginning. They could stop the attraction and pull toward the other. Adam has family on Sweetbriar that coaxed him help push these two together. Although it was a pit stop for Adam at the time his time in at the Cape really made an impact. He grew into Stella's life and her son.
This was sweet, light and pretty likable as always. With a touch steam. There were emotional moments between Stella and her son, her and Adam when it came down to things but all in all a good pleasant read.
I love my visits to Sweetbriar Cove and even though I haven’t read every book in this series I still find the residents and their stories entertaining,I will at some point catch up with every book in this series. This sweet romance is Stella Hart and Aidan Kinsella’s story and it can certainly be read as a stand-alone. I fell for this couple as soon as I met them, I loved the fact Stella was the towns local plumber and she took on anything a man could do and normally did it better and I loved the witty banter that flowed so naturally between Stella and Aidan. Aidan is the oldest of the Kinsella siblings and he had one kiss with Stella many months ago so when he arrives back in town he is hoping for more but will the single mum risk her sons happiness with a high flyer from NYC..... I think this book will appeal to all romance lovers, it’s sweet, entertaining, witty and easy to read, it’s beautifully written and it has characters you can’t help falling in love with. Looking forward to more from the residents of Sweetbriar Cove.
4.5 Star review of Time After Time (Sweetbriar Cove #14) by Melody Grace
I have only read a couple of books in this series but what I have read I thoroughly enjoyed, This was a sweet and romantic story about Stella Hart, a plumber in Sweetbriar Cove and Aiden Kinsella. Although book fourteen in the series, it can easily be read as a stand alone.
I love small town romances and this one ticked the boxes for me as I became invested in the story that Ms.Grace wove. The writing was strong and descriptive and I found myself easily visualizing Cape Cod whilst reading.
I really liked Stella and Aiden, both separately and together, they were easy to relate too. The banter and friendship between them was witty and heartwarming. The sparks that fly between them cannot be ignored, will they take a chance on pursuing a relationship? One click and find out.
This is the fourteenth book in this series by this author. This book can be read as a stand alone read. This story follows the characters Stella and Aidan. You will fall in love with the characters from the first chapter. This story is sweet and romantic. This is an opposites attract romance read. This author has an amazing ability to bring you sweet romantic love stories which will leave you all tingly inside.
I was given an advanced reader copy of this book in exchange for an honest review www.obsessedbookreviews.com
A series of standalone stories that will captive your imagination and keep you coming back for more whether you are just starting your journey with the folks of Sweetbriar Cove or you have been on the magically journey from the start.
Time After Time is an opposite attracts romance which will keep you entertained as we follow the story of single mom Stella and workaholic Aidan Kinsella the oldest of the Kinsella siblings - their stories have already played out but with all the couples they are featured throughout each book which truly is unique and makes you coming back for me.
Stella became a teenage single mom - not what her rich parents wanted for her so she decided to turn her back on her family which suited them and make a life for herself in Sweetbriar - she dug in and over the last 14 years she has made a good life for her and her son - being the only plumber in town it wouldn't be something her rich parents would ever have thought for their daughter. Stella long ago forgot about a prince in shining amour but one kiss with Aidan many months ago keeps her warm out night not ever thinking she would see him again even though his family all live in Sweetbriar his live is in NY as a high flier.
Aidan never thought he would back home but one mistake has seen him leave it all behind and lick his wounds - he still remembers his kiss with Stella from all those months ago and he knows that she could be dangerous to his overall plan to get to his real life ASAP.
But as the magic of Sweetbriar Cove starts to fall over these 2 you start routing for this couple that opposite's will attract. But Stella's main concern will always be her son and as he struggles with becoming a teenage is Aidan ready to take on an instead family or is he just biding his time.
A really great read and a great addition to the series!
Aiden is the oldest sibling and has spent his life focused on working hard and making money to be sure his family is safe and taken care of financially. But when his career unexpectedly crashes and burns, he finds himself back in his hometown of Sweetbriar Cove focused on trying to get his big city life and career back on track. But when he meets his carefree neighbor, he never anticipates the connection they share and how Stella begins to bring his heart to life for the first time in his life.
Fifteen years ago, the course of Stella’s life changed when she unexpectedly got pregnant and ended up in Sweetbriar Cove raising her son, Matty, all on her own. When she crosses paths with Aiden who just happens to be renting the house next door, her heart truly awakens for the first time as she begins to feel a connection she’s never felt before. But with Aiden’s thoughts of returning to his career and leaving Sweetbriar Cove and Stella’s proclivity to stability and continually guarding her heart, will they ever allow the walls down and recognize the love that’s right in front of them?
Time After Time is Melody Grace’s newest release bringing us back to the small town of Sweetbriar Cove and the story of the last Kinsella brother. Though this is book 14 in the series, it can easily be read as a standalone. I love the connection shared between Aiden and Stella proving that opposites definitely attract. And when the Kinsella clan and their significant others get involved, it’s a familiar family affair. I read many different kinds of romance, but my favorite is small towns with lots of family and friends. Ms. Grace captures that feeling with this series over and over again making Sweetbriar Cove one of my favorites of all time.

Loved Stella and Aidan's story. As different as they were they totally worked, their story was beautifully written and heartfelt. Loved every page!
It is great to be back in Sweetbriar Cove, you fall in love with it again wanting to live there. This is the last in the Kinsella books, save the best one till last! I loved this book as much as the rest of the series, Melody had done it again with a fantastic story!
This is Aidan and Stella's story.
Stella Hart is a single young mom, who works hard as plumber to look after her family, she is down-to-earth, not looking for love. Her main focus is her son who is now a teenager.
Aiden the workaholic and oldest of the Kinsella clan, he comes back to Sweetbriar after a spectacular failure in the City and is determined to get his life back on track. Or so he thinks!
sparks soon fly between them, neither of them know where its heading or if it will last, can Stella give her heart to Aidan and risk getting it broken? can Aidan leave his City life for a slower life in Sweetbriar cove? can they get their HEA?
Although as all the others this is a stand-alone, I recommend you read all of them from the start so you can connect with the secondary characters in this book, all the gang are back together and as funny as ever, with more festivals to decorate the town for. more mischief and love stories.
Oh how I love being back in Sweetbrair Cove! And this is just another amazing story in this series that I never want to end! 5 stars for this one! Here we have Stella, the residents of Sweetbriar Cove took care of her since she was a single mother. Now her son is older, and her friends are trying to convince her that it's time she started taking care of herself. She's worked hard as a plumber for many years, she's done good for herself, but the only man she'd like to have in her life is Aiden, and he left to go back to his high powered job in New York. Until one day he returns to Sweetbriar Cove to as he tells his family take a break from the job he worked so hard at, leaving out the fact that he got fired. But when he see's Stella again, he can't help but remember that kiss she stole from him a while back. Can he get past the fact that she has a son? Can she convince him that she's worth him leaving New York in his past and sharing his future with Stella? Sit back read along and find out!
I love these small town romances from Melody Grace.
In this return to Sweetbriar Cove, we have Stella and Aiden. Stella moved to Sweetbriar Cove as a single, teenage pregnant mum-to-be and the town embraced her and took care of her. She now has a teenage son and a thriving plumbing business, along with the memory of an amazing kiss with Aiden.
Aiden is back in Sweetbriar Cove, hiding after his career hit rock bottom. Not knowing what to do next, he is spending time with his family. And trying to ignore the chemistry with Stella.
Stella fears developing a relationship with Aiden because of the image this will give out to the town who embraced them. Trying to juggle a successful business and a sullen teenager at the same time is no mean feat. Aiden doesn't really know what he wants from his life now but the slower pace and Stella is making Sweetbriar Cove increasingly appealing to him.
|The sparks fly off of these two when they are together and you will want them to end up together. This was a great addition to this series.
My life is filled with all kinds of chaos these days, so I've decided that I really need to head to Sweetbriar Cove for some peaceful down time. Stella is an amazing woman who has a successful career as a plumber, which is a male dominated field but she's very good. She's also a single mother to a teenage boy, and obviously, she would do anything for him. Aidan Kinsella was a high roller when a costly mistake happened so he lost it all, which finally brought him home again. He's doing his best to decide on his next move when his neighbor ends up intriguing him quite a bit, and they do have some chemistry that will make things complicated. Stella has worked hard for stability, and Aidan could mess that all up if she gives in. There's also that issue of him trying to figure out how to get his life back. In order to see how this sweet story turns out, you'll have to hit those one click buttons! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Stella is a single mam to a teenager. Her parents were not supportive they were assholes. She took care of herself and her son with the help from a certain family, Kinsella's. She a popular & successful plumber.
Aidan worked hard all his life and he want to make sure he was financially secure &make sure his family has money. He always thinks of his family. In New york he lost his job and now he back home to stop and relax which he hasn't done in years.
I love their dancing lessons that Aidan signed her up for and surposed her with his appearance
My heart went out to Matty, Stella's son. He just wants to be with his friends but they across country at a private academy. The school he is currently at treat like a freak cause he reads and he sign up for the academy and he got in. Now he trying to get his mam to agree.
Melody Grace hit it out of the park with Aiden and Stella's path to love and acceptance. Aiden the workaholic comes back to Sweetbriar after a spectacular failure and is determined to get his life back on track. Stella a single mom who impulsively kissed Aiden months ago only because he would never be back loves her life the way it is until she sees Aiden again. The emotions pour off the page as Melody takes us on a journey where feelings come strong and without warning but stubbornness is just as strong. The question is will they acknowledge their feelings and put things from past behind them or will they remain woefully stubborn and not find a way to get past the past.
Melody Grace has written another beautiful emotion packed romance. I can not wait to read more from her.
Aidan Kinsella was riding on top of his game until one wrong error brought him back to reality. It, also, brought him back to Sweetbriar Cove to hide out. Stella Hartley was a hard working woman in an unusual profession of a plumber. She found out she had an unwanted pregnancy at a young age, resulting in her profession and making of a great mother. She left her rich family behind and made her way in life. Arden and Stella ended up as neighbors and past acquaintances from school. The sparks sizzled between the two under some unusual circumstances, plus Stella’s son helps the relationship with a connection to Aiden. This is a heartwarming, super emotional roller coaster ride involving their lives as well as friends and families. Fantastic book....Great reading!
Such a sweet story! The books I read in this series I loves, so I am not surprised that it was so easy for me to follow the story and all the lovely characters. Stella is such an amazing woman, doing a hard physical job that allows her to provide for herself and her son. The new neighbor and old friend Aidan is pure temptation..she gave in for a brief moment a few months prior but now everything could be different..is she willing to risk it? and will he stay? Small town romances are def a fav of mine. I love to see how all the characters rally together. These two are super cute together and I love how their story develops.
Time After Time by Melody Grace was such a sweet and charming read. Stella is happy. She has built a life she can be proud of and does not need a man in her life. She and her son are good as they are, right? Aiden is a workaholic and determined to take care of those he loves. Neither saw the other coming, but when Aiden finds himself back in Sweetbriar Cove, they are drawn to each other. They share not only great chemistry, but I loved their witty back and forth so much. Can they see what they have together before its too late? Another great addition to the series, which can be read as a standalone.
