Review: I thought this book was terrific. It was my first Barbara Freethy, but it won't be my last. I enjoyed the characters so much. Thought Alex and Faith were a great couple. And I loved the extra little bit of magic. I can't wait to read her other books.

Summary: A love story to treasure!
Review: I'm one of those Barbara Freethy fans who can hardly wait for her next book, so I read The Sweetest Thing from cover to cover in a greedy rush. And now, only a day later, it's sweet indeed to re-read and savor this wonderful book. Five stars, beginning to end. Ms. Freethy writes straight from the heart, every time.

Summary: Dessert lovers are sure to enjoy my latest offering!
Review: I've always been a fan of chocolate. I can't think of any occasion that couldn't be made better by chocolate. Which drives my husband crazy since he's pure vanilla. But then opposites attract and all that ... In my next book, THE SWEETEST THING, I decided to make my heroine, Faith Christopher, a French Pastry Chef. I came up with the idea while visiting a commercial bakery with my daughter's girl scout troop. (Sometimes those school trips really pay off.) Once I had my heroine in mind it was easy to come up with a hero, Alex Carrigan, who absolutely hates sugar and spice and everything nice. To make Alex's life even more complicated, I added in a troublesome grandfather in search of a lost love, a rebellious teenager and a romantic adventure to the mystical holy grounds of Arizona. Whether you like sugar or spice, I hope you'll find THE SWEETEST THING an entertaining read. Enjoy!

Summary: Another Wonderful Romance
Review: Mrs. Giggles...well that's a laugh. This book was excellent and filled with romance and adventure. I am an avid reader of all Ms. Freethy's books. This one is better than my own Alaska romance and I am mailing copies to all my friends.

Summary: A Story That Touches the Heart!
Review: Ms. Freethy is at the top of her form with THE SWEETEST THING. Famous for her heart-warming tales that give us just a touch of magic, this is one of her most ambitious works. It's the story of a man who is suddenly thrown into the deep water of family relationships and the woman who can resist coming to his rescue only so long. The character of Julian, the grandfather, is particularly appealing. Ms. Freethy has a way of latching on to your emotions, and never letting go. This story will stay with me for a long time to come. A great read for the spring holidays!!
