Review: The Sweetheart Fix by Miranda Liasson
/It's always bittersweet when you finish a series by Miranda Liasson. As I depart Blossom Glen, The Sweetheart Fix was a wonderful conclusion to the series. In this book, we dive into the journey of Julie Montgomery and Jack Monroe., two lost people who find answers when they let go of their pasts and let in the potential to be loved.
Juliet has a great big heart. She is the middle sis between Tessa and Vivienne. As we celebrated Tessa finding her hea in the first book, it's about time and deserved that we see little sis great some happiness of her own. Sadly, relationships haven't worked out for her. Known as the town's sweetheart, they haven't been something that she's been good at. To her regret, that fact seems to carry over into her professional life.
With a small town and everyone knowing her business, trying to establish herself as a relationship counselor has become quite challenging. Her personal life coming into question, has become a disadvantage to her job. When she is asked by her boss to take some soul searching time off and to regroup, she finds herself with an unexpected opportunity by mayor Jack Monroe.
Jack might come off at first a little rough around the edges but he grows on you. He loves his job but isn't exactly a people person. When a dispute happens with a couple of people in town and Juliet came in and solved their problem, he knew what the town was missing and offered her a job. Giving them both a win, win opportunity.
As they get to know more of each other professionally and personally, opposites attracts with the stars aligning, challenging them to confront their pasts. When a moment happens that challenges a potential future, will Juliet take a chance instead of running from her fear of getting hurt?
I really like these two finding their way to each other. They both have baggage that if they are able to put behind them, they could see how perfect they fit well together. Juliet is different than her sisters. Jack with his past, I really liked that it brought to light the affect on men and relationships when they have a scarred relationship with their mothers.
Overall, like I mentioned in my thoughts on the last book, this was a different type of series from what we've seen in the past. All positive vibes, just different which is welcomed for its variety in perspectives. If you haven't read the first book, read that one first. It can be read as a standalone but for context and background history, you should back read. As with another wonderful read, I'm looking forward to the next small town she introduces us to.
