Sweet Tooth

De: Helen Juliet

Narrado por: Kieran Flitton

Getting lost in the woods was never this much fun.

When Hans Jager and his sister, Greta, have to return home for the holidays, the last thing he expects is to run into his childhood best friend, Chester Wild. Even more surprising is when Chester pretends to be Hans’s boyfriend to protect Hans from his wicked step-mother’s wrath. Seeing Chester again makes Hans realize that he might feel more than just friendship, but can he risk spoiling what they already have?

Chester has always loved his best friend. But Hans is straight, right? When they find themselves stranded in the woods, everything changes, but for how long? A dark family secret could undo their magical reunion, and Hans is feeling more lost than ever. Could Chester be enough to guide him back to true love?

Sweet Tooth is a steamy, stand-alone MM romance novel featuring a scrumptious sweet shop, slow dancing to Elton John, an explosive family dinner, a loyal puppy, a very naughty use for candy canes, and a guaranteed HEA with absolutely no cliff-hanger.

Fun listen

Really enjoyed this sweet mm romance from Helen Juliet! It had a super sweet plot and engaging main characters. I liked this one a lot! Kieran Flitton does a nice job narrating this one!

Great Listen

I enjoyed the book and dove right in for the narration. I wasn’t familiar with this narrator but it was great. I could get lost in the storyline and just enjoy it coming to life.

Sweet and Steamy

I absolutely adored this fairytale retelling and will never look at a candy cane the same way again. Hans and Greta found their way home to Gingerbread for the holidays. While Hans is in his favorite sweets shop he finds Chester, his best friend, working there. I loved that Hans and Chester got a second chance to find out they really were meant to be together. This story has it all and should be enjoyed again and again.
Narrator Kieran Flitton does another amazing job. I just love listening to him.

Deliciously Sweet

A deliciously, sweet childhood friends romance. Hansel and Chester were adorbs what with their unknowingly requited crushes on each other. And the story was expertly tied with classic Hansel and Greta themes. I’ll be honest had had my doubts as to how HJ was going to modernize the classic childhood tale. And shame on me for doubting her. Child abandonment, a sweets shop owned by a cranky witch of a woman, and best of all were the many creative uses Chester had for said sweets. Like really. I may never look at a candy cane the same way again. LOL. All the elements were there, but the most tantalizing part of this entire tale had to be the big reveal of the stepmother’s evil machinations. So much anticipation was built on that little dinner party and it did not disappoint. All of this was boosted by Kieran Flitton narration. I just loved his posh British accent. And I felt he did justice to both male and female characters.

A Sweet Fairy Tale Fake Relationship Turns Real

I was already a fan of this e-book, so pairing it with narrator Kieran Flitton's delicious voice and British accent made it a surefire 5-star listen for me.

"Sweet Tooth" is a delightfully sweet fairy tale retelling with cinnamon roll MCs and a heartwarming second chance love story. Hans and Chester are former childhood best friends, now grown and reconnecting - and facing unspoken deeper feelings that've always simmered underneath - when Hans returns home with twin sister Greta after a 10-year absence. Shyly dancing around each other as they get reacquainted, the two plunge into a fake relationship to spite Hans's stepmother and really are quite adorable together as faking it gives way to their true feelings and some truly steamy and swoony moments. Their HEA is, quite appropriately, deliciously sweet.

For all of this sweetness, though, it didn't result in sugar shock as Hans's stepmother proves quite wicked in her decade-long effort to estrange the twins from their father, and the strong secondary characters - most notably, the fabulous Greta - also help balance out the story. I received this free review copy audio book by request and have left this honest review voluntarily.

Hans and Chester

This retelling of Hansel and Gretel was too sweet! Hans is the mayor's son who left his hometown with his twin Greta. They left because of a misunderstanding on their part. Hans left his best friend Chester behind and didn't keep in contact. When he and sister return back home, he runs into Chester at the sweet shop they both loved and that Chester now works at. They are totally awkward around each other, but you can tell they both have deep feelings for each other. Due to certain circumstances they tell a lie that they are dating. What happens is your typical troupe. They end up growing closer as the learn more about each other to be convincing as a couple. I loved these two. The fact that they both loved each other when they were boys and didn't say anything because they were afraid to lose their friendship is the best. As always Kieran's voicing of these fairy tale characters is perfect.

Hans and Chester

A retelling based loosely on Hansel and Gretel we see a friends to lover Sweet story. Enjoyable but characters voices were similar and sometimes hard to distinguish who was talking if not giving 100%

Friends to lovers with side of evil stepmother

Hans and Greta are twins who are coming home to Gingerbread for the holidays. They haven’t been back in 10 years... Their mother passed away and they thought they were the cause of her accident so they left and never looked back. In doing so Hans left his best friend Chester too. Chester has always had a crush a Hans. But he believes Hans is straight so he never acted on it. The 2 men are happy to see each other again. They pretend to be boyfriends to get under Hans’ stepmothers skin. But in doing so they realize they might not have to pretend. Secrets are revealed. Things weren’t as they seemed. And Hans and Chester have found true love with each other. Kieran Flitton did a good job with the narration.

Fairy tale re-telling

Sweet Tooth is a fairy re-tell of Hansel and Gretel with similar characters taking a little bit of a different form. My draw to the story was the friends-to-lovers trope and the narrator. There were components I liked and some not so much. I especially enjoyed the fact that one of the main characters was a twin and how their banter was really funny. I got a little bogged down in some overly detailed segments that slowed the pacing down.

I felt the narration was very good with a terrific voicing difference for the characters, male and female. Single narrated books can be difficult to listen to sometimes trying to keep characters straight, but that was not a problem here. Really good job.

Sticky Sweet

Second chance holiday romance with a fairy tale twist - complete with an evil stepmother. This story could not be sweeter and there is almost zero angst between Hans and Chester as they rekindle their friendship and more. At times it almost gave me toothache, but it's a great story for a snowy day when you need something heart warming. There are also numerous candy/christmas sex puns that are both hilarious and terrible. Kieran Flitton's dreamy voice was the perfect narration for this story.
