Blog Tour: Review of The Sweetheart Deal by Miranda Liasson

Author: Miranda Liasson
Publisher: Entangled: Amara
Publication Date: January 25, 2022
Mass Market Paperback: 330 pages


From the bestselling author of the Angel Falls series, two enemies say “I do” in the first irresistible book about Blossom Glen.

Pastry chef Tessa Montgomery knows what everyone in the teeny town of Blossom Glen says about her. Spinster. Ice Queen. Such a shame. It’s enough to make a woman bake her troubles away, dreaming of Parisian delicacies while she makes bread at her mother’s struggling boulangerie. That is until Tessa’s mortal enemy?deliciously handsome (if arrogant) chef Leo Castorini, who owns the restaurant next door?proposes a business plan…to get married.

Leo knows that the Castorinis and the Montgomerys hate each other, but a marriage might just force these stubborn families to work together and blend their businesses for success. The deal is simple: Tessa and Leo marry, live together for six months, and then go their separate ways. Easy peasy.

It’s a sweetheart deal where everyone gets what they want?until feelings between the faux newlyweds start seriously complicating the mix. Have they discovered the perfect recipe for success…or is disaster on the way?

My thoughts:

 I love enemies to lovers/ marriage of convenience stories.  The Sweetheart Deal hit the spot.  It was a sweet story involving Tessa and Leo.  Their families have been rivals for years.  Both of their family businesses need to be updated to become more successful.  The couple decide to have a marriage of convenience to try to end the feud and convince their families they are serious about helping the family businesses.

As I said, this one hit the spot.  It was really cute. It's a clean romance with fade to black bedroom scenes. But I really didn't mind because I loved the chemistry between Tessa and Leo.  I loved that they had a history. It was fun to watch them fall into love with each other.  One thing that this book really highlights is the need to communicate with the people you love.  A lot of the issues in the book could have been solved with honest conversations.  Both of them had great family members who added a lot to the story.  I look forward to their stories in the future.    I definitely recommend this one.
