Publisher Description
He never planned to stay in Sweetbriar Ridge.
Then the perfect woman fell into his arms.
A small town, single mom, friends to lovers romance from NY Times Best Selling Author Samantha Chase
Not everyone in Sweetbriar Ridge is as sweet as the town name would suggest. But single mom Jade Mackenzie is up to the challenge of winning over the town if that's what it takes to make her new shop a success. After all, this is just the latest in a long string of battles she's had to face. Since she's given up on men–all of them except for her son–she can throw all her energy into the new business. Or so she thought until the most charming and too-good-looking-for-his-own-good man walked into her shop. And she literally falls into his arms.
Levi Donovan knows how to charm his way through life; winning people over is just what he does. But no amount of charm can save him when he's at the center of a scandal that costs him his position at a prestigious ad agency. With no other choice, he's forced to return home to Sweetbriar Ridge, the small town he left behind the first chance he got. When he meets the owner of the new coffeehouse, he starts to think that small towns aren't so bad. And when he finds out Jade needs a little help promoting her new business, Levi makes it his mission to help her make the shop a success. That's just what a good friend does.
No matter how hard she tries to resist, Jade can't help but be swept away by Levi's good looks and the sweet way he interacts with her son. But Levi isn't staying, and getting attached would be a mistake. Levi always swore he would never settle in Sweetbriar Ridge, but could loving Jade be reason enough to stay?
*Each book in the Donovans series can be read as a standalone*

So Cute
So cute!!
Jade is a sweet single mom who is facing some small town drama and in the process of opening a kickbutt bookstore and bakery (dream come true). Levi is a Donovan who we met in Patrick’s story and he is facing a crisis of employment, family history, and self image. Together they have immediate chemistry and work towards happiness and their goals. The story and town are well developed and the emotions and conversations are vivid and full bodied. I loved the dynamic between Levi and his sister and Jade and her parents and son. Getting the twist with Ryder and Patrick and Marissa at the end was icing on the cake! I am excited for more of this series and seeing how the family secret of why their dad left, how the town grows, and how the relationships develop all turn out!!
Loving You
Loving You is book 1 in the Donovan’s of Sweetbriar Ridge by Samantha Chase, a great start to a new series and seeing old friends too! 4.5 stars
Jade and Levi meet when he comes to her newly opened bookstore after he has been fired from his advertising job. Tensions run high, family dynamics, meddling towns people, starting over, seeing friends from another series (Laurel Bay) and sets us up for the next books in this series!
I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy (ARC) of this book from Valentine PR. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Loved it so much!
Such a great book with a new family to love! Jade is spectacular and Levi is simply wonderful once he gets out of his own way! Can’t wait for more from this series!
