Romy Love runs a successful wedding blog, she should live and breathe all things love and weddings, but after a messy break up she's feeling anything but romantic, a little bit jaded would be far closer to the truth. All that's left of her own wedding plans is a dress that she might never get to wear. Romy spends her days dividing her time between working from home and the café below her apartment working on blog posts for brides planning their special day, while quietly crushing on the sexy owner Elio.
Everything about Elio draws Romy in, and leaves her wanting more. For lovers of slow burn romance Bittersweet hits all the right notes, as each day passes and Romy and Elio spend more time around each other, their relationship grows into something more than just customer and business owner. The trading of sweet smiles and often awkward conversations only serves to allow their budding relationship to flourish.
As Romy and Elio learn more about each other, they still keep parts of themselves hidden in an effort to protect their hearts. Despite everything going for them, their sizzingly chemistry that delicious temptation proves too much. When miscommunication rears it's ugly head, their fears of getting hurt only lead to heartbreak. Every thing about Bittersweet was all consuming, utterly enticing and so very addictive. For every book I've loved and blogged about of late, there's been others that I've failed to connect with, from the very first page of Bittersweet I felt that zing, that exhilarating rush that left me breathless and desperate for more. There's something all consuming about combining two of your favourite authors, the absolute joy that comes from relishing their words and their ability to craft a story that played out in my mind like my very favourite romantic comedy film.
"Because as much as I love the idea of indulging in Elio, I know a guy as delicious as him would never go for a woman like me."
The thing I adored most about Bittersweet was the way I was able to connect with Romy, I felt her insecurities, I knew with a clarity that only comes with a life well lived that sometimes you need to confront those past hurts, face those fears of heartbreak and pain to find something worth risking your heart for. With a one two punch that is Lauren K. McKellar and Carmen Jenner writing together, Bittersweet is exactly what I needed to pull me out of my self imposed reading funk. Bittersweet was a sassy, fun, and heart warming read that left me wanting more while still getting the ending I needed like every great book should.

Oh so bitterSWEET 💕
With one of my all time favourite authors co-writing a book with one of her best friends I knew I was in for an incredible book - and Bittersweet was all that and more. Carmen Jenner’s books include some of my absolute faves and while I’m new to Lauren McKellar, I’ll definitely be checking her books out. Together, they have delivered a book that is hilariously sweet with the right amount of drama ... toss in a family man and a woman who isn’t the “perfect size” (because she’s just a regular woman after all our own hearts) and Bittersweet is a book that will make you swoon, make you crack up laughing and make you pause as you consider why the size of a woman is still so important these days (sigh). I devoured this story in half a day - it’s so easy to read, so light and fun, and I fell in love with Romy. She is the type of woman I could’ve been if I hadn’t met my husband when I did - someone so desperate for love but who doesn’t have the confidence or self-belief that she deserves to be loved. I really enjoyed experiencing Romy’s inner voice and reading about a book heroine who doesn’t have it all together. Her doubt, her lack of self esteem, her dislike of her appearance is something so many women can identify with and it was refreshing to read a story that included this. And Elio - the swoon worthy barista and baker - gosh he was dreamy. I loved the chapters told from his perspective (and while Bittersweet is in dual perspective, it’s mainly from Romy’s point of view) and his attraction to Romy is evident from the get go. And while Elio has a little “lie of omission” of his own, you know exactly why he wasn’t so forthcoming... Lastly I have to mention the fabulous supporting characters. I’m desperately hoping Nico and Bianca are getting their own book (pretty please!!) but I loved Elio’s Nonna, I loved Romy’s bestie Emma and Coco - she is totally adorable!! If Bittersweet isn’t on you tbr go and add it now, or better yet one click and get swept away by an absolutely gorgeous love story that will make you smile, make you swoon and hope for an Elio at your local cafe!! nicandbooks ❤️❤️❤️❤️❣️ Amazon/Goodreads ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
