This is book 8 in the January Cove series. It was a fun one it was unpredictable, and I loved that. Hanna has the best characters and plots. I just wish the books were longer.

3.5 ⭐️

I enjoyed Sweet Love as a short, light read. It delivered the same heartwarming charm and cozy small-town vibes I’ve come to expect from Rachel Hanna’s books. However, I’m starting to notice a formulaic pattern in her stories, which made this one feel a bit repetitive. While the characters and relationships were still sweet and endearing, it didn’t stand out as much compared to others in her series.

That said, it’s a cute story and great for when you’re in the mood for something quick and comforting. I may need to take a break from her books for now, but fans of her style will likely enjoy this one too.

Laura Bennett comes to January Cove to escape her failed marriage and to have a fresh start after her mother's death. Sawyer Griffin comes home to escape the stigma of his last album's lack of success ad to take a break from stardom. When they literally run into each other, sparks fly. However, Sawyer hiding a big secret from Laura threatens to destroy their budding love affair. Can they overcome?

This is pretty average, it was a good audiobook to have on during a long drive. In some ways it was cute, in others I just rolled my eyes. I wanted to like the characters together, but I didn't really see much chemistry between them. Some of their interactions seemed a little disjointed and awkward, while others were sweet.

Despite this, I look forward to finishing the series. I really like the January Cove setting and seeing most of the characters that were in the earlier books.

Well Laura did not know what to do with her life after her mother's death and finding her dream list her best friend Carrie tells her where to go for one that was one of her moms wishes. Paige meets Sawyer, but he’s there to hide from his fans and hiding it from her. Can they love and share what they are hiding to be able to be together.
Love the author and narrator

Quick Read

I love how this series has some of the same characters but that each book could be read by itself. The main characters in this one were great and it loved reading how their relationship unfolded.

Totally awesome reading!

Honestly, I think when I finish a book in the series that it has the best storyline, characters, ups, downs and conclusion. Then I move on to the next in the series, this time, January Cove, and I find a new favorite story. On to Book 9!

It's a story about a young woman who needs to make changes in her life after the passing of her mother. She starts out slow but finally gets a grip on life after meeting someone new.

Laura and Sawyer story

January Cove is a place dreams come true. You need to read this story about how two strangers meet and how their story works out

Well written with likeable leads. Though the third act breakup is unneeded and theres some antiquated "southern ideas" Im not fond of.

Warm fuzzy & happily ever after. Sometimes exactly what you need in between psychological thrillers. The January cove series has been the nice little break i need at times.
