Rachel says...
Well, I'd never read a book by Cori Williams yet, so Tanner and Amelia were new to me characters. I thought they were well developed and I loved the angsty, emotional drama that ran through story. The reason I picked it up??? Keep in mind, very rarely do I read a blurb or synopsis...nor do I read others reviews..since how I connect with a story is based solely on the story, the authors writing, the characters, and yeah..unfortunately my mood. So..Southern Sweets..sounds kinda like a rom com revolving around a bakery or at least baking up the goodies, right? That's what I thought...so as I started reading and Tanner, who'd professed to never hurt Amelia, turns around and does the one thing that destroys her..uh yeah..not a comedy. But that's ok, because I am an emotional reader, and I love a good angsty, emotional novel.
The beginning, while revealing, was kind of on the slower side, and I had a hard time "dying" to read it...but I never give up... Why? cuz you never know what you might miss! Besides, it was just a little on the slow side...but really well written, so as I'm reading...and things pick up, I'm reading faster, and I'm skipping my afternoon snack, and I'm really getting into it..and Oh the ending...and the epilogue...I never give things away in a review.. I prefer to be on the vague side..or just tell you how it made ME feel, what I liked or didn't like about it..I do NOT synopsize the book for you. You're supposed to read it, silly!
Amelia has so much to go through because of Tanner, but we all know..when you really LOVE someone, you just let the small stuff slide...or try to at least..and begin again..or try to at least..and you forgive a lot...maybe more than you should... But things usually have a way of working out..wether it's the way you WANTED it or not!
