Sweet Home

A Small Town Christmas Romance (Sugarville Grove, Book 5)

De: Clara Pines

Narrado por: Shiloh James, Lance Greenfield

Will secrets from her past threaten the future they both long for?

Single dad West Lawrence never wanted anything more than what he has right now—a beautiful home on the dairy farm with his family, a thriving small town medical practice by the park, and a precocious four-year-old daughter who keeps him on his toes.

When the young doctor is called to the local mechanic shop to check on a mysterious stranger, he doesn’t expect that the stranger will be a beautiful woman. And he never dreams that her sudden presence will not only show him how lonely he’s been, but how much he has secretly wondered if little Elizabeth really needs a mom.

All Dulcie has ever wanted for Christmas was a place to call home and people to love. So when she finds herself stranded for the holidays with an achingly gorgeous doctor and his adorable daughter, in a small town so charming it looks like something out of a movie, she’s ready to hold on with both hands to all the goodness the universe is offering—even if it’s only temporary.

But just when it starts to feel like they might be meant for each other, a secret from Dulcie’s past threatens to tear it all apart. Can their hope for happiness survive these inescapable truths?

✨ALC REVIEW✨

Book 5 in the Sugarville Grove Series

If there was one word to sum up the Sugarville Grove Series, it is HOPE.

Hope for those that think they have lost their way - not just in love but in life.
Ma'am, Clara Pines, you have made an ART (which all authors are artists) in these books (you and Tess!)

I feel like an overwhelming pull for my "Sweet Home." The narrators make you feel the warmth and depth that this story holds, all the while making their own journeys. Making home feel even sweeter.

The best wholesome romance

I swear this series can’t get any better but with every book it does! West and dulcies story was an emotional one! What he did for dulcie and her sister was absolutely amazing! Shiloh James and lance greenfield did absolutely amazing with narration. West was such a sweet generous man and dulcie was so patient and caring. The bond dulcie and wests daughter Elizabeth formed was beautiful and her being able to help the little girl come out of her shell was beautiful. This story had me tearing up just alittle. I can’t wait to listen to the next book in the series!

Fan of Shiloh James & Lance Greenfield

I briefly met West and his daughter, Elizabeth in a prior book. It was nice to get to see them again with their own story. Elizabeth is a cutie pie. I could not help but instantly fall in love with her. West has a very kind heart. The way that he helped Dulcie but without pushing her for information of why she was in Sugarvillle Grove but at the same time allowing her to find her confidence was endearing.

Which Dulcie was timid in the beginning. Yet as the story progressed, she broke out of her shell more and it was lovely to see. She and West were lovely together but I really liked the close bond that Dulcie and Elizabeth shared.

I have been working my way through this series via the audiobooks. This one is performed in dual narration by Shiloh James & Lance Greenfield. Both new to me narrators. Yet, this will not be the last time I listen to both of their voices.
