Publisher Description
He's the Stone brother trapped in his siblings' shadows, with the dangerous heart condition his family can't see past.
She's the globe-trotter now temporarily living a small-town 9-5, so her selfless sister can be the carefree one for a change.
One is a heartbreaker with a damaged heart.
The other is a rebel new to roots and responsibilities.
But no matter how hot their chemistry is, or how deep their connection, his life has boundaries—hers doesn't.
And while she's a reminder of everything he can’t hope to have, he has her questioning what she can’t live without.
Previously titled Sweet Escape. Same hot, feel-good story, just with a fresh new title and cover makeover.

Sweet
Cute story! How can you not like sweets and run a bakery, for your sister? Book 2 in the series and I enjoyed catching up with the previous characters. How does a heartbreaker and a wanderer who doesn’t commit or stick around for long fall in love by trying to not fall in love? HEA, no cliffhanger and a lot of sweet “facts”. Enjoy!!
Heartbreaker
Enjoyable read. Liked book 1 better. I did buy book #3 as it seems like it will be a pretty good book.
Great read!
Heir to the Sugar Rush Candy Company, Evan Stone was a sexy bad boy with a perpetual sweet tooth! A smooth talker, with a charming personality, I wasn't expecting the pastry history or the linguistics lessons, but they added a depth to his character that made him pretty darn appealing!
Hannah Lockhart, a traveling blogger and photographer, was a bold yet vulnerable character. Stuck taking care of her sister's bakery for 6 months, Hannah chafes at the restrictions placed on her nomadic lifestyle, but a promise made is a promise...Hannah is trying to keep. She could be frustratingly selfish, but as she revealed herself in bits and pieces...well, I grew to like her more than I thought I would.
Evan and Hannah's relationship was meant to be casual-flirty conversations and hot sex- but it eventually developed into something deeper. Both were looking for a physical escape from their lives, not realizing they didn't have to go to the ends of the world to find what they were looking for. Their journey was a mash up of crazy, sexy fun, with pockets of vulnerabilities exposing themselves when I least expected, but it made the read so worthwhile!
Sweet Escape turned out to be a surprisingly emotional read! The story was still flirty and fun, but I felt Evan and Hannah had more "oomph" to their chemistry and more depth to their relationship than Polly and Luke from Sweet Dreams. And the amusing distractions the secondary cast gave-zippy lines, sarcastic wit, and droll humor-the Stone family and bakery regulars hit the spot every time!
Book 2 in the Sugar Rush series, Sweet Escape lived up to its title! I would recommend reading Sweet Dreams first, however, to fully appreciate the plethora of dynamics in the series!
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book which I received at no cost from the author.
