Escape to Cape Cod with this feel-good summer romance. Millions of readers have fallen for the bestselling series -- join them today!
Jules Rivera loves a challenge. She’s saved failing businesses, and transformed scruffy guys into handsome bachelors — who turn around and leave her in the dust. Some thanks. She vows not to make the same mistakes again… until she stumbles over a gorgeous, run-down vineyard in Sweetbriar Cove. Jules knows the place could be something special. And as for the surly, rugged owner? All her instincts tell her, he’s something pretty special too…
Reeve Hastings has no intention of being anyone’s project. He’s trying to save his family legacy, and he doesn’t need help from anyone, especially not the brunette spitfire who knows nothing about wine. But Jules is annoyingly determined — and full of surprisingly good ideas — and soon, she’s making her mark on the vineyard. And driving Reeve crazy, in all the best, most tantalizing ways…
Jules knows she should keep businesses and pleasure far apart, but Reeve’s smile is more intoxicating than any bottle of Merlot. And as for his kisses… Simply irresistible. Their passion is undeniable, but with the future of the vineyard on the line, can this summer fling put down roots? Or will past heartache spoil their chance of happy-ever-after?

On a scale of 1-10, Jules’ is having a -10 day. She has lost her job, her boyfriend and her apartment within the space of a few hours. All she is clinging onto now is her dignity - just. She is on her way to Sweet Briar Cove to stay with her bestie Evie at the Beachcomber Inn. The thought of being beside the ocean, drinking wine and enjoying aching belly laughs is something she really craves right now.
You didn’t think she would drive off to the haven of the cove with nothing going wrong did you? Yup, more shit rains down on her, okay not actual shit, it’s rain which wouldn’t be so bad if it weren’t for her car getting a flat tyre on a deserted stretch of road. And the fact her ex has her car jack. I mean really, does the universe have something against her today or what?! Luckily for Jules she finds a nearby property she should be able to get help from…
Reeve Hastings has recently returned to his family vineyard after his father became ill and could no longer take care of it. He enjoyed a busy and varied life in California and wants to get back there as soon as he can. He had no idea how bad things were with the vineyard and now he has a huge pile of bills to sort through, with some tough decisions to be made. Selling seems to be the only viable option for now.
When Reeve comes across Jules wandering around inside the cellar door and tasting the wine, he is furious with the clear invasion of his space and privacy. Who the hell does she think she is helping herself and assuming that it’s actually okay to do so?! So far his first impression of her is not going well. Despite his grumpy demeanour, Jules is relieved that he indeed does have a car jack she can borrow.
When Jules returns the next day to thank him and give back the jack she is overwhelmed by how beautiful the vineyard and homestead is. Straight away she sees the potential of what could be but Reeve does not see things the same way. While she sees beauty he just sees hard work and feels the weight of expectation that has been thrust upon him.
There is an undeniable pull that keeps drawing them back to each other and it doesn’t take long until Jules is injecting her passion for projects into the vineyard. Looking at the landscape through her eyes puts a whole new perspective on things. She helps him see the beauty and potential that he otherwise would have ignored. A romance is simmering away too, no harm in some harmless summer fun right?
This a great weekend read, low in angst and full of romantic moments.

What an absolute joy it is to back in the world of Sweetbriar Cove! Simply Irresistible is the 16th book in this beloved series, but can be read and enjoyed as a standalone novel.
When we first meet up with Jules, her entire life has been turned upside down. If losing her job, boyfriend, and apartment in the same day wasn’t bad enough, Jules gets a flat tire on the way to visit her friend in the pouring down rain. When she goes to look for help, the last thing she planned on was Reeve. Reeve too was angry at the world and wasn’t ready to deal with people, but especially not the beautiful out-of-towner, Jules…
Simply Irresistible is a quick, yet satisfying read. The characters were easy to connect with and had me loving their beautiful small town. Sweetbriar Cove is one of those towns that is built on long lasting friendships. Sure, everyone knows everyone and gossip spreads faster than wildfire, but that just adds to the charm. And when you add two hot strangers to the mix, all bets are off!
I had the best time getting to know Jules and Reeve. From the moment I met these two characters, I knew their story was going to be a good one and I wasn’t disappointed. You could feel the instant chemistry between them and despite Reeve always putting his foot in his mouth, I couldn’t help but root for the surly vineyard owner. As with any good love story, the road to happily ever after can’t be an easy one. Naturally there are obstacles our couple must overcome, and I have to tell you, I loved watching these two try to figure things out. Jules and Reeve stole my heart and I couldn’t have been more happier with the outcome.
In the end, Simply Irresistible was just that, an irresistibly good romance. The kind of romance that captivates you instantly. The kind that makes you feel as though you’re a part of the story and makes you feel right at home. The kind of story that makes you swoon and in the end leaves you with a smile on your face. Simply Irresistible is a wonderful addition to the Sweetbriar Cove series and I look forward to getting my hands on the next book in this much loved series.

We are 16 books into this series, and I am still as enchanted with Sweetbriar Cove as I was at the beginning. Reeve and Jules's story is a lovely slow-burn romance, but that doesn't make it any less sizzlingly hot, sometimes the build-up is just as exciting.
Jules has come to Sweetbriar after losing her job and to be near her best friend, Sweetbriar is just supposed to be a stopover. For Reeves, he is back in Sweetbriar to help sell his dad's vineyard. Two people like ships in the night, they were only supposed to be in the Cove for the summer, but once this little town has you in its grip it won't give you back without a fight.

"If you like Sweet Magnolias and Virgin River, you'll fall in love with Sweetbriar Cove!"
Escape to Cape Cod with this feel-good summer romance. Millions of readers have fallen for the bestselling series -- join them today!
Jules Rivera loves a challenge. She’s saved failing businesses, and transformed scruffy guys into handsome bachelors — who turn around and leave her in the dust. Some thanks. She vows not to make the same mistakes again… until she stumbles over a gorgeous, run-down vineyard in Sweetbriar Cove. Jules knows the place could be something special. And as for the surly, rugged owner? All her instincts tell her, he’s something pretty special too…
Reeve Hastings has no intention of being anyone’s project. He’s trying to save his family legacy, and he doesn’t need help from anyone, especially not the brunette spitfire who knows nothing about wine. But Jules is annoyingly determined — and full of surprisingly good ideas — and soon, she’s making her mark on the vineyard. And driving Reeve crazy, in all the best, most tantalizing ways…
Jules knows she should keep businesses and pleasure far apart, but Reeve’s smile is more intoxicating than any bottle of Merlot. And as for his kisses… Simply irresistible. Their passion is undeniable, but with the future of the vineyard on the line, can this summer fling put down roots? Or will past heartache spoil their chance of happy-ever-after?
Loved Jules and Reeve's story. Several lol moments while reading their story and my first was when they initially met. In many ways they were opposites, their journey was beautifully written. Wonderful summer read.

Back to Sweetbriar Cove!
Jules ends up in Sweetbriar Cove, staying with her friend Evie after losing her home, job and boyfriend at the same time. When a flat tyre and a rain storm is set to add her to disastrous day, she holds her head high and seeks to find a solution. She ends up Reeve's family vineyard. He is not very welcoming to her but there is no denying the chemistry between them.
Jules doesn't let disappointing events impact on her, choosing to pick herself up and move on. She was strong, confident and didn't back down even when Reeve was at his growly best. Reeve is hoping to sell the vineyard as a way out of the crippling debt built up by his father. Jules sees the potential and sets out trying to help. Help that Reeve wants nothing to do with.
Whilst I enjoyed this book, I didn't enjoy it as much as others in this series. I have thought long and hard as to why this might be. For me, I struggled to connect with Reeve. He kept his walls up and his cards close to his chest so it was difficult to get what he was thinking. Whilst Jules brought him out of his shell it was still difficult That being said I had warmed up to him by the end.

Returning to Sweetbriar Cove for the summer was a challenge for Jules Rivera. In one day, her whole world imploded, leaving her questioning her entire life. The final chaos, was having a flat tire in the middle of a drowning rain storm, without tools to fix it. No one was around so she accepted another challenge, hiking to a rundown winery in the distance. Jules ends up meeting Reeve Hastings, who is an annoying, surly, unwelcoming son of the owner. Reeve has been trying to save his family business since his father’s health issues and fire at the winery. Both, Jules and Reeve, have an interesting attraction that they both try to ignore. Jules attempts to use her social media skills to help Reeve, but her help is driving him crazy. This is just the start of their emotional journey.
Their passion is undeniable and very heartwarming. Add in their friends, the residents of Sweetbriar Cove, and Reeve’s father, they find their lives change forever to both good and bad. It’s a great love story of putting past occurrences away and deciding what is best for each of them. Another enjoyable book about this Cape Cod community and their wonderful cast of characters!

I just gobbled up this book. We met Jules in the previous book with her best friend. I so loved Jules. She so deserves something to go her way because life is delivering blow after blow. Reeve doesn't make a good first impression, but he will quickly win you over. He has some swoon-worthy moves that's for sure. They both are going to find some unexpected delights while enjoying summer on the cove. I got to visit some of my favorite people from Sweetbriar Cove. That always make me happy! Every time I read a book in this series I fall in love with this small town all over again. I would recommend this one because you are going to have a hard time putting it down. It's a charming book with plenty of heart. Jules and Reeve are going to steal your heart. They are adorable together, but both need to deal some inner issues if they are going to have a shot at forever.

5-star for me! I love Jules’ positive and full-of-energy outlook in life. A challenge though her eyes is something to bring out courage and fierceness on oneself. It’s incredibly infectious and made me want to turn the page nonstop. And Reeve’s character, for me, is whom I enjoyed most out of all of the series’ list of charming men. I like the wit most especially. The plot was better than the Beachcomber 1 in the sense that Jules’ character isn’t such a damsel in distress type and represents more of a strong and independent woman. In short, I can relate more to her than with Evie.

Love being back in Sweetbriar Cove! Melody delivers a sweet sexy romance here! 5 stars for this one!
Heading back to Sweetbriar Cove wasn't top on Jules list, but she's basically left with no choice, seeing as how after helping her boyfriend reach internet stardom, he does what most men her life do, he broke up with her leaving her without a job, or a place to live. When car trouble brings her to a winery that looks deserted, she meets Reeve, and suddenly her vow to stay away from men is in jeopardy.
I enjoyed their story so much I know you will too! Don't miss out on this one, grab your copy on release day! I can't wait for more from Sweetbriar Cove!

Simply Irresistible is another amazing book in the Sweetbriar Cove series. Get ready to fall head first into the world of friendship, gossip, festivals and love. Jules and Reeve’s story is a wonderful addition and has all the feels you come to expect. Rain, a flat tire, and grapes just might be the start of your next favorite love story!

I adore Jules and Reeve’s story!
These two aren't certainly having much luck in life but everything might change when they meet in this wonderful town!
Neither of them live there, but once they get to know the people and the place and they fall for each other, will they be able to leave everything and everyone behind?
It's a sweet and sexy story with all the feels!

It's time to return to Sweetbriar Cove and fall in love with Jules and Reeve. Yet again Melody has a written a wonderful romance in this awesome series. Although can read as a standalone, it's always great to catch up with other characters. A perfectly feel good, curl your toes romance that will touch your heart.

One book left
I can't believe this next book will be the last in this series of 17 books. I have totally loved reading these books. I really wish this series of books wouldn't end.

Off & On
Like most of this authors stories, they fight, make up and live happily thereafter. It is quite predictable, but a few rinkles make it interesting.
