I kept rooting for this couple.
Has some surprises in there to keep me interested.
This charming romance between a gorgeous personal trainer gym owner and the special needs school teacher neighbor, with her own special needs, had me pulled in to their tentative then romantic relationship. Their mutual helping where the other was weak was realistic and informative. The story is short enough to read through without losing steam and long enough to get the characters and mood swings.
Started off slow but I really enjoyed this book.
An easy read that kept your interest. Sweet love story.
Fun story

A Spoonful of Cute
A Spoonful of Sugar is a sweet and cute romance between to kind and generous people. Both Tyler Carter and Stacey Allman have deep issues from past hurts, but neither have let their past poison the way they interact with the people within their sphere.
The author, Kate Hardy, does a good job of developing each character, as well as slipping in past experiences so the reader can better understand the wider picture. There is a nice balance of description, inner thoughts and dialogue, and the plot pace is steady. All in all this tender-sweet read has a smile-worthy ending and is worth the few hours of escape time
Content 411: Although mostly clean, this book does contain a little bit of mild swearing and a mildly described sexually intimate scene.
Super cute storyline. Love the characters and the way it is makes me go awwww~ Enticing! <3
I was attracted to the story because it is set in one of my favorite storybook towns: Marietta. This is a really good story where I got to know two very special people ready and able to move forward to loving each other. At times it made me smile, made me laugh and warmed my heart. Oh, and I might have to take notes to make the cookies, pie and cake from the Bachelor’s Bake-Off. I do think he ought to have come in better than last more often.
