Review: The Sweetheart Deal by Miranda Liasson

Before I started reading this book, I already knew I was going to like it. There’s nothing from Miranda Liasson that I haven’t enjoyed. I have to say that her latest book, The Sweetheart Deal from her new series Blossom Glen is one that I can’t stop singing its praises. This right now appears to be the contender for my potential new favorite series from her. There was something different about what she did with this series that was fresh, funny, and had beautiful characters that you can relate to and love unconditionally.

The Sweetheart Deal, book one in her Blossom Glen series, introduces us to this beautiful small town called Blossom Glen. This is one of those little towns that you just want to stroll through. The only downside is that everyone knows your business. For Tessa Montgomery, pouring herself in her mother’s bread shop is what kept her going each day. Giving up her dreams and devoting herself to her struggling family business is what she felt she had to do to help her mother. Then one day, she is presented with a sweetheart deal that proposes a solution that if all works out would be a win-win situation but at what cost?

Enter Leo Castorini. He is smart, handsome and owns the restaurant next store. Not only the Montgomery’s but the Castorini’s are facing their own struggles as well. Both Tessa and Leo face the challenges of parents who are comfortable with tradition. As they want to try new things, they are met with resistance until after a conversation with his father, Leo is inspired to present Tessa with the idea of pretending to be married. Well, being fake married.

The only problem is their families have hated each other for some time and not to mention drama between the two of them. The proposal is if they get married, both families will have to work together and in turn they each help each other and both win. All they have to do is agree to this fake marriage and when their goal is accomplished, part ways. Will it be that easy?

Besides the main storyline in the book, what I truly love about this book is the multigenerational relationships in the book.That truly is the foundation of it and having those different perspectives woven in makes it more special.

Dive into this awesome new series that I promise you will not want to put down. The Sweetheart Deal is a sweet, funny contemporary romance that will leave you feeling so good. I’m so excited to see what’s to come in the second book, The Sweetheart Fix. You can look for that one in the fall. Just on a side note that these books can be read as a standalone. If you are a Miranda fan, you will love this new series. If you haven’t checked her out yet, make sure you jump on this series and check out her other books. I’d recommending adding this to your TBR list.
