The story of Us by Melody Grace was a story about second chances and starting over. Natalie Diaz came to Sweetbriar for a fresh start and wanting to escape an ex. Luke came home after being away for some time. He has no interest in a relationship after just coming out of one, but when he sees Natalie he knows she is different. But Natalie is cautious. I loved watching Natalie and Luke get to know each other and spend time together. They had a great connection. But when her past comes back, will she be able to move forward? A heartwarming story about second chances.
Happy reading!
I really like the Kinsella clan and I think it’s great addition to the Sweetbriar Cove gang. I just gobbled this book right up. I love that Natalie has a chocolate shop.I think it’s so cool. Luke is just dreamy and prime book boyfriend material. Natalie is making a fresh start in Sweetbriar Cove and she never counted on someone like Luke coming into her life. Being gun shy with relationship due to what drove her to Sweetbriar Cove, but Luke is so hard to resist. I love watching the friendships Natalie starts to make with the citizens of Sweetbriar Cove. Though soon Natalie’s past comes a knocking and threatening the future she is creating. This is an easy book to get lost into. Plus it’s holiday time so I loved reading about all the festivals and parties going on. It makes me want to go visit.
“He’d never believed in fate or destiny, but after that night, he couldn’t help feeling like they’d met for a reason. Their story was only just getting started…..”
The Story of Us is the 11th book in the Sweetbriar Cover Series, but can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone novel. Natalie came to Sweetbriar Cove in the hopes of forgetting her past and starting over. With the little bit of inheritance she has, she opens the candy store of her dreams. She’s determined to go all in with this fresh start. She doesn’t want any drama or complications…..Natalie isn’t the only one seeking a fresh start in Sweetbriar Cove. Luke also has a past he can’t wait to move on from. The last thing he planned on was falling head over heels in love. But, the moment he set his eyes on Natalie, he felt a pull unlike any other. She’s different from the women he’s used to and that makes the pull even sweeter. Natalie tries to resist Luke, but the heat between them is too hot to ignore. Will Natalie take a chance and open her heart up to love again? Or will her past catch up to her and turn her world upside down? There’s only one way to find out…
The Story of Us is a fantastic addition to the Sweetbriar Cove Series. Natalie and Luke were so easy to fall in love with. Both of them had just come out of a relationship and looking for a fresh start. Their chemistry was sizzling and a force to be reckoned with. I loved how even though their attraction was fierce and instant, they took their time getting to know one another. Luke knew that Natalie had been hurt before and was willing to take things as slow as she needed them. I loved watching these two try to figure things out and see Natalie open up about her painful past.
Natalie and Luke’s road to happily ever after wasn’t always an easy one. Natalie understandably had some baggage that she had to deal with. And as with any story, the past always has a way of catching up with us. I loved seeing how strong Natalie had become over the course of her story. She had more strength than she ever thought possible and wasn’t about to let her past ruin her future.
The Story of Us is a wonderful second chance romance. It’s filled with lots of sweetness, steam and friendship. I love how tight knit the community of Sweetbriar Cove is. Once they let you in, you belong forever and the members of the community will make you feel like family and will have your back when you need it the most. The Story of Us hit all the marks for me. It did have a little more drama than some of the other books in this series. That being said, the drama was perfectly laid out and made me love these characters all the more for it.
The Story of Us captured my heart from beginning to end and was a fantastic story to spend my day getting lost in. I fell head over heels for Natalie and Luke and fell even deeper in love with Sweetbriar Cove.

4.5 Star review of The Story of Us (Sweetbriar Cove #11) by Melody Grace
Melody Grace is a relatively new author to me as I have only read one other book. I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet and romantic story about Natalie Diaz and Luke Kinsella.
I love small town romances and this one ticked the boxes for me as I became invested in Natalie and Luke’s story in Sweetbriar Cove. The writing was strong and descriptive and I found myself visualizing Cape Cod as I was reading.
Natalie has been burnt by a relationship break up and really has no plans to find love. Luke is struggling to keep his business afloat and the last thing he needs is to fall for a beautiful woman who tempts him with her delicious handmade chocolate truffles.
Despite doing their level best to ignore each other and their mutual attraction, Natalie and Luke are continually drawn to one another. The chemistry between them is intense and despite themselves they cannot ignore the build up as it threatens to burst into flames.
Will they be able to make their relationship work or will Natalie’s fear of getting hurt again mean that they will part ways? One click and find out.
The Sweetbriar Cove series continues with the 11th installment (#2 Kinsella). Melody takes us on a journey of heartbreak and love with Luke and Natalie. This book is amazing and well written and a fast read. I could not put it down. Once i started reading it i did not stop until i was finished.
They met months prior and Luke couldnt get Natalie out of his mind and when he runs into her again by chance he is taken aback when she doesnt remember him. So he makes it his mission to get to know her and get close to her. Natalie likes Luke but is scared of her past and her ex Oliver finding her. Join Melody as she takes us on a journey and see if Natalie is brave enough to tell her past and see if she can let love in again, or does Oliver find her and take her back home.
Wow Natalie and Luke are sizzling. I love how they met and then they fast forward to meeting again. The attraction was very hot. I liked how Natalie tried to resist Luke’s charm and hotness but in the end couldn’t. I enjoyed the Oliver drama and how it made Natalie who she was. The family around Sweetbrier is amazing and they make everyone welcome and loved. That’s one of the best things i love about this series. I really did enjoy each story but Natalie and Luke’s are one of my favorites with the drama and heart ache to turn around and end with a HEA!!! This was well written and such a great read!!!!
