Beautiful Skye from the general store meets and comes to terms with pieces of her deceased twins past. The groundwork for their future is laid.
The cool thing about this story is the connection between all the people and how nicely interwoven- like the best parts of small town life.
The prejudices are addressed as well, and many family and romance possibilities become clear.
Awesome sweet KU read!

Sweet Compromises is a beautiful love story. It was an easy read that was hard to put down. I found it to be a sweet romance. I loved the storyline and main characters, Skye and Caleb. Caleb swept me off my feet and all I did was read the book. This novella is perfect if your wanting a fairy tale kinda romance.
This book was a bit rough for me to follow along with.
While reading this I kept thinking I was missing something, but after going back through I don’t think I am, the author just kind of forgot to mention things that led to events in the book. For instance the clean-up that happened for one of Skye’s friend that the entire town attended…what was the clean-up for? This seemed to just spring up!
And I hate to say this, but Skye’s insecurities and constant back and forth with Caleb got on my nerves real quick. I get tired of rereading the guy constantly having to reassure the female that he wants her and nobody else.
Dean Hodel never disappoints! Skye needed Caleb just as much as he needed her but she had no idea till he showed up on her door step. She wants a knight and shining armor but can Caleb be that for her or will she fall in love with a broken man who puts in the work for her. Check out where their friendship leads I promise you won’t regret it. I thoroughly enjoyed this story.
A sweet small town romance that was heart melting. I really enjoyed the characters that were drawn together through unfortunately circumstances. The story was heart felt and enjoyable.
A man died and dying sent his best friend to his sister, so that they might heal each other in their grief.
A beautiful plan, well executed, bringing a former sniper and a small town shop owner together.
A sweet story, dealing with typical small-town gossip and prejudice as well as the spirit of belonging together and supporting each other.
Well-written and really enjoyable, as it is kind of believable.

Enjoyable story
This is the 3rd book I’ve read by this author and I’ve liked all of them. Caleb and Skye meet under really terrible circumstances, but form a connection and bond. The story has pain, but also love and true concern and caring. Plus, I love that there are authors specifically writing clean and sweet romance. That is why I will always come back to this author and look for any of her books in the future.

I loved how Caleb approached his friendship>relationship with Skye. Stephan knew these two people needed each other and managed to get them together to discover this for themselves.
This was a very cute story. Caleb wasn’t raised by a family that was close. Skye was raised in a very close happy she’s looking for her fairytale her Knight. A last wish brings them together can they heal each other and find love.
Dean Hodel writes love stories that are truly about love and Sweet Compromise is pure and simple love exemplified. Two broken people although broken in different ways find their way into a steady loving relationship. Caleb and Skye are beautuful together and work towards their HEA. Hodel writes sweet innocent love stories that make you believe in love again. Sweet Blooms is the town we all wished we grew up in.
Book two in the Love Happens series and I hope there are going to be more books in it. Caleb Mathews grew up in an orphanage and went into the military. He made a promise to his best friend Stephan that he would go and see his twin sister Skye O’Malley, and deliver the note Stephan had written to her. As these two get to know each other they find a love that is meant to be. A beautiful well-written story. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
This USA sweet, clean romance that quickly grabbed my attention and kept me turning the pages. The characters are complex, believable, and interesting. I enjoyed following along on their journey.
Sweet and honest perspective.
Small towns have several traits that seem universal. Familiarity and gossip almost always take a role. As do community and kindness. Nice when the balance of common sense works also.
