Sweet

Landry Family Series, Book 6

De: Adriana Locke

Narrado por: Wen Ross, Kai Kennicott

USA Today best-selling author Adriana Locke delivers a “fresh and fun” romance between a grumpy single dad and his beautiful, spunky employee—the one he can’t have.

Chemistry is not love.

That’s what my boss, the grumpy single dad with brilliant green eyes, says, anyway.

I have my V-card. He’s 10 years older than me. I work for him.

Nate Hughes has a million reasons why a relationship between us would never work. Honestly? It’s all a farce.

He can’t deny our connection. His soft smiles, brief touches, and protective behaviors come too easily. And when I need a place to stay? He can’t stop himself from offering me a room—though I’d prefer his bed. After all, there are sparks—delicious, sizzling sparks—when we’re together.

Our forced proximity brings things to a head. Our shared experiences and traumas draw us closer. Our undeniable attraction has us toeing the line between friends and lovers—whether Nate likes it or not.

He’s right—chemistry is not love. But that doesn’t mean that I won’t fall in love with him...even if he can’t love me back.

Nate and Paige's story!!!

I loved this book when I read it originally and was super excited to listen to it in audiobook form!! Thanks to Adriana Locke for the audiobook!! The story was amazing and the narrators were exactly how I imagined Nate and Paige would sound when I first read this book.

If you’ve ever read a book by Adriana, you know what you’re going to get will be fun, flirty, and dare I day, sweet. That’s exactly what you get with Sweet, Paige and Nate’s book. Single dad trope, forced proximity trope, it’s got all the good stuff. Nate is a single dad trying to avoid his attraction to his employee Paige, who doesn’t believe in forever. When she gets evicted from her apartment and needs a place to stay, Nate steps up to take her in despite his hesitance to give in to his attraction. As the book goes on and they both face their pasts and fears together, you see the growth of two people together. Nate is supportive, reliable, and would do anything for his son and Paige. The dynamic between the two of them draws you in as they fight their attraction, and you find yourself cheering them on.

If you’re looking for a cute, easy, and sweet read, Sweet is the book for you. If you’re looking for more Adriana Locke, pick up any one of her other series on KU to get the stories of many characters you see in Sweet (the 6th book in the Landry family series). You can’t go wrong with any of them. I can’t wait for Adriana’s next release and until then, I might dive right back into her world with another series of hers focusing on another family (Gibson, Landry, or Mason series).

Single dad you swoon over

This is only my second Adriana Locke book and I loved it. Paige and Nate both have rough pasts with trauma they both are dealing with. They both aren’t sure that love will really work between them. Nate breaks down Paige’s walls and gets through to her. Now I need to read the rest of the serious.

Sweet romance

The title of this book is perfect. Nate and Paige's story is just that sweet. Nate is a single dad who wants nothing more than to find the one. He has had a thing for Paige, but knowing she is afraid of relationships hasn't pursued anything. When Paige gives into her feelings for Nate, there is so much love to be found. When Paige finally stop running from love and gives into the love all around her there is so much happiness for this little family. Great characters and I loved seeing the Landry's pop up in here!

The narrators did a great job. I did feel like Paige's voice was a little older than I would have though, but it was good.

Good

This was a good read. It shows that everyone has issues and doubts and to some extent self sabotaging tendencies. It all boils down to how you deal with them.
Nate and Paige made the perfect couple for these issues and how to deal (and not deal) with them.
As for the narration, it was good. I enjoyed both their voices, but I did have to increase the speed to make the speech more realistic or at least not as languid.

Sweet

Sweet is the 6th book in the Landry Family series. This book is told from dual points of view by Nate and Paige. Paige is Holli's biological sister, and we have met Hollis in a past book.

Paige gets kicked out of her apartment complex because her friend wasn't paying the rent. While she's at work, Nate her boss offers for her to come and stay in their spare room. He tells his son that Paige is there as a guest, and to treat her nicely.

Being in forced proximity means feelings are going to evolve. Paige hasn't had the easiest past, and when things start moving too fast, she's not sure how to handle it. She is also getting to know her brother Hollis. I don't want to go into what happens too much, so I'll tell you my feelings.

I loved getting to know Paige and Nate, and little Ryder. Paige and Ryder's friendship grows, and Ryder gets to the point where he wants his dad to adopt Paige. So sweet. Nate is also a great single father and is there for Ryder when he needs him. Paige's relationship with Hollis also grew stronger, and I loved seeing that. I really felt for Paige as she was going through some of the things she went through in the book, and really loved getting to know these characters! I'm hoping they pop up once in a while in future books!
