She’s a romantic at heart.
Chloe Delaney had three very specific wishes, growing up. She wished to stay settled in the small mountain town of Pembrooke, where she grew up, to one day be her own boss, and to fall in love with a man who would be willing to go to the ends of the earth for her. With her roots firmly planted in Pembrooke’s soil and her bakery, Sinful Sweets, thriving, two of her … of her wishes have already come true. When a handsome single father moves to town, she’s certain she’s found the man to fill the role of wish number three. The only problem is, you can’t force a frog to turn into a prince.
He isn’t the Prince Charming type.
When Derrick Anderson moved from Jackson Hole to the small town of Pembrooke, he did it determined to wipe the slate clean. After eight years spent trapped in a miserable marriage, he’s made a vow to never take the plunge again. He wants to be untethered, not tangled up in the strings that come with a committed relationship. He has his daughter, his career, and an ex-wife hell bent on making his life unbearable. His plate is already full. The only problem is, he didn’t have a plan in place to protect his heart from her.
Neither of them were prepared for the course their lives would take. But once a rollercoaster begins to move, you can’t just climb off, now can you?
The only thing they can do is strap in, hold on tight, and enjoy the ride.

This was such a great read for me. I needed something fun, yet has conflict, something where the heroine maybe unsure of herself but isn’t a doormat. Loved how she knew what she wanted but it took the alpha a bit to realize it. Great characters and wonderful side characters.
I enjoyed the story. Some parts were harder to follow at first because this is a spin-off from another series the author has and I didn’t know that until I was already reading. I was able to pick up the characters’ personalities after a while though.
I really liked the characters, although I think they could’ve had a little more depth. I will still be reading to next book the series!
This book was so good! I loved Chloe and Derrick, even if I did want to slap him in the back of the head more than once! Add in Eliza and it’s book gold! Chloe is the owner of a small town Wyoming bakery and Derrick is a police officer with a terrible ex wife and amazing daughter. Chloe has been in love with Derrick since she met him, but he’s a little….slower on the uptake. Once he realizes what he’s missing, he sets about making sure Chloe is his. I loved this one, just another great book by Jessica Prince!
Chloe Delaney has everything she could dream about, she owns her own bakery and has wonderful friends who support her. She also has a huge crush on Derrick Anderson, a cop and single father who she thought might be interested in her until she realizes he doesn’t really see her as anything but a kind of a friend. Chloe decides she is done and moving on but then Derrick decides he is interested but not in the same way. Chloe wants a relationship, Derrick just wants her in his bed for how long he doesn’t know. With an ex wife who has him regretting the day he married her even if it brought him the greatest joy in his life, his daughter Derrick knows he can’t be in a relationship again, but everything about Chloe is different could he be wrong about having a second chance at love?
This was wonderful. Chloe is sweet and adorable and Derrick for awhile is just clueless about Chloe’s feelings and at times makes it worse then it needs to be where her heart is concerned. Great story to get swept away with. I can’t wait to read more of this talented authors books.
Pembrooke is a small town that we get to know in Harlow and Noah’s book Wildflower. Derrick is divorced single dad, a cop and Noah’s friend. Chloe is Harlow’s best friend. Chloe has been in love with Derrick since he came to town and of course she’s not on Derrick’s radar. Because of a nasty marriage and divorce, Derrick has vowed NEVER to go through that pain again.
Because of Derrick and Chloe’s friends they are thrown together and Derrick starts to notice the joy and happiness of Chloe’s smile. Sunshine is what he calls her because that is what she brings to his days. When she takes that away from him, he misses it and will do anything to bring it back.
I loved reading about how their love bloomed and grew through the struggles of what life through at them. It was a true and everlasting love that Derrick finally admitted to having for her. It was also beautiful to read how Eliza blossomed under Chloe’s love and attention.
It was a cute, fun read. I can’t wait for Eliza’s book!
This is the first book from this author because it was recommended to me on Facebook (love those book groups!). I requested a theme of unrequited love and this book was one of them. Normally if I do not know an author I don’t really give it a chance (going to stop doing that!). I am so glad I did, I really enjoyed this book!
I really like books set in a small town with a quirky heroine and an alpha male, normally I really like them in law enforcement and this fitted that to a “T.” It was really sweet once Derrick realized being in love is not such a bad thing. It was sweet but still pretty hot once they finally got together! I loooove those alpha men! However I do need to be honest and say it was a bit painful to read through how much Chloe loved Derrick and it wasn’t reciprocated… twice! And when he still went on another date with someone else, gah that was painful!
But all in all it was a great HEA, I’ve already downloaded 3 other books of hers so gotta get reading!
This is my first read by Jessica Prince and this book alone has made me a fan of hers. Saying that I loved this book would be an understatement. I actually swooned and cried tears of happiness as I read this beautiful story. I nearly read this book in one day. I was captivated from the very first page.
Sweet Sunshine follows bakery owner Chloe who has been in love with police officer Derrick Anderson since he moved to Pembrooke a year and a half ago. But when Chloe attempts to ask out Derrick and he completely brushes her off, she tries her hardest to get over him. Instead Chloe finds herself falling in love with Derricks daughter and gets put in the friend zone despite her feelings for him.
I loved this book. Chloe and Derrick are amazing characters who I absolutely loved. The way their friendship grew and how Derrick finally started to see the amazing woman that Chloe was straight up melted my heart. She helped him see that he could find love again. Derricks daughter was about the sweetest thing ever and her situation seriously broke my heart. Sweet Sunshine will have you swooning over this sweet romance, laughing your ass off, and even make you shed a few tears.
This is an amazing book that I could definitely read over and over again. Just this book alone will have me reading everything Jessica Prince has written and will write in the future. I highly recommend this book and I you will not be disappointed.
