This is book 6 in a series and I haven't read any of the others. I don't feel like you need to read the others, I never felt lost, however I felt that I might have appreciated the book more. And I do plan on reading the others in the series because these are really fun characters.

This is mostly about Lucy Brewer coming home after her husband, who she had stopped loving, died and using the opportunity to peruse her dreams. She has to deal with her bitter in-laws while juggling opening a bakery and being a single mother. With all of this conflict, the romance felt like an after thought. There wasn't much tension between Lucy and Duffy getting together. Them getting together and staying together felt very inevitable. However, all of the interesting characters in the book made this a fun, charming book to read.

Molly Harper’s entire Southern Eclectic series are comfort reads for my soul! I have ADORED every installment and Gimme Some Sugar could quite possibly be my favorite!!!

I love second chance romances and once you hear Lucy and Duffy’s backstory you will understand why these two are so deserving of a happily ever after! I enjoyed reading their journey while at the same time catching up with past favorites! Molly Harper has a talent in writing 5 star novels that are the perfect combination of heartstring-pulling moments, laugh-out-loud humor, swoon-filled sweetness and sassy one-liner awesomeness! If you haven’t started this series —now is a perfect time! You won’t want to miss it!!
