I do love it when Becky Wade gives us a respectable mystery to figure out! She does it so well. Everything kept me guessing as Britt and Zander tried to figure out what happened to cause his uncle to be out all night and have a heart attack on the way home—but they instead stumble over a much larger issue...what if his uncle isn’t who he thinks? So they set off on a quest of finding out what’s up and making sure no crazy folks are going to show up and hurt his aunt and cousins.

I really loved how everything unfolded between Britt and Zander—from the first book I’ve been rooting for them as a couple—and it just turned out beautifully. You feel each of the moments between them and all of their longing and angst. I loved each moment! And wow...that tense ending!!! I mean, I knew surely the MCs weren’t going to die at the ending, but that other part of me was sure they couldn’t survive what they got into. It’s got some excellent thriller moments!

I’d recommend to women over 18 for some heavy kissing scenes

Thanks for my free reading copy from the publisher and Netgalley. A favorable review was not required.

This author and this book series is one of my favorites. I have loved delving into the lives of these sisters and their unique family structure. Britt is the youngest and I was so excited to finally get to her story. Actually, it's as much Zander's story as it is Britt's and it was Zander that my heart really followed.

Zander has loved Britt since he was fourteen. Unrequited love. It's the worst kind of love. Zander's love for Britt has tortured him his whole life. But Zander is the best of men and he demonstrates this to Britt in his every word and his every action. The best friend gig is a good one but not the one his heart wants the most. His struggle become my struggle and I was starting to feel both overwhelmed and indignant on his behalf because Britt was just not catching on or catching up fast enough. I'm so impatient!

There are a few things I love about this book. First, the characters from book one to book four are the same. They are always around and they feel like family. Second, there is more than just a love story swirling in these pages. There is a growing mystery to match the growing intensity of the relationship. Lastly, as a reader I'm always looking for emotional involvement. I want to feel something and be connected to the characters. This book delivered that. Lastly, chocolate. CHOCOLATE! I wish I could sit in Britt's shop. I wish I could eat her creations. I want to eat chocolate! Is there anything better than chocolate and romance? 😍

Content: peril, mild violence, kissing

Sweet on You is the final book in the Bradford Sisters Series and we were highly anticipating it being a great finale, but these two chicks were disappointed.

Sweet on You is the story of Britt, the youngest Bradford sister, and her best friend Zander, who has been in love with Britt for years and desperately wishes she felt the same for him. Britt dates different guys casually but always ends things before they get too serious. Zander is her rock and steady place, but as he is her best friend, she never even considers falling in love with him as it may ruin everything they have. However, as the two of them embark on a journey to uncover a mystery, her feelings suddenly begin to change. Will they give love a chance, and will Britt actually open heart to the thought of forever?

The story line was well done and we wanted to enjoy it, but it fell short in a few different areas for us. Zander's character was our favorite - loyal, strong, quiet and a hopeless romantic in all things dealing with Britt. Britt, however, was a disappointment to us as the growth she experienced was too little too late. We are all for flawed characters in need of learning some hard lessons and love to see redemption, but the characters struggled showing this which made the faith aspect come up short for us. Although the faith tried to wrap everything up nicely as the end, it was too little throughout the book. Again, this isn't the usual trend we see in Becky's writing and we hope to write a glowing review on her next book.

Book Summary (Amazon): Britt Bradford and Zander Ford have been the best of friends since they met thirteen years ago. Unbeknown to Britt, Zander has been in love with her for just as long.

Independent and adventurous Britt channels her talent into creating chocolates at her hometown shop. Zander is a bestselling author who's spent the past 18 months traveling the world. He's achieved a great deal but still lacks the only thing that ever truly mattered to him--Britt's heart.

When Zander's uncle dies of mysterious causes, he returns to Merryweather, Washington, to investigate, and Britt is immediately there to help. Although this throws them into close proximity, both understand that an attempt at romance could jeopardize their once-in-a-lifetime friendship. But while Britt is determined to resist any change in their relationship, Zander finds it increasingly difficult to keep his feelings hidden.

As they work together to uncover his uncle's tangled past, will the truth of what lies between them also, finally, come to light?

My thoughts.... Oh, the tension!! I loved the romantic tension in this novel! Becky Wade is an expert at drawing you into the hearts of her characters, and I believe "Sweet on You" is one of her best examples. This is the third book in the Bradford Sisters series (and yes...all of them are fantastic!), so there are hints to Britt and Zander's story throughout each book leading up to this one. By the time I finished the second book in the series, "Falling for You," I was eagerly anticipating Britt's story. In each novel, Wade adds fun little insights into what is happening with the characters. In "Sweet on You," there are a set of text messages Britt and Zander sent to one another, a note Britt wrote to her friend about Zander in high school, a letter Britt sent on Zander's behalf (without his knowledge), and several more fun tidbits. It is a creative and clever way to give backstory over several years' time without pages of explanation. Loved it!
Not only was there romantic tension, but there was also an element of suspense. As they worked together to solve the mystery of Zander's uncle, they encountered some dangerous people which led to some intense situations. I liked this added dimension to their story. It certainly complemented the romantic aspect in that Britt and Zander had to depend on one another in a way that they never had before, which brought out conflict but also drew them closer together.
There were certainly times when I wanted to throttle Britt and Zander for the choices they made, but I appreciated their character flaws in the end...as well as their strengths. It really made this book a fantastic read and a wonderful conclusion to the series. I would highly recommend all three books, as well as the prequel novella.

**I received a copy of this book from the publisher in order to give an honest review, which I did.**

This book is a set in a series, but I read it fine on it's own. I'm probably gonna read the other books too. I enjoyed this very much to be honest. I don't think it's revolutionary or that it brings something in that you haven't discovered before. I have to warn everyone too, it's a Christian novel - I don't hate it but I don't find myself yearning to return to more Christian novels. I think Becky Wade writes perfectly fine, but I don't think this is a genre I'm returning to at this moment. It's honestly just too clean for me.

Sweet on You, by Becky Wade, is the third book in A Bradford Sisters Romance series. While I do recommend reading all of the books in this series simply because each of them is absolutely wonderful, this book can be read quite easily as a stand- alone novel. Like the other books in the series, Sweet on You is beautifully written, entertaining, and utterly engaging. From the unexpected mystery, to the indispensable chocolate truffles, to the unfolding romance, this novel is absolutely enjoyable from beginning to end.
In Sweet on You, as in all of her novels, Ms. Wade is amazingly talented at creating vibrant characters that are believable, endearing, and relatable. Even though they endure difficult trials, they manage to persevere and make tough choices. Above all, they learn, they grow, and they endeavor to thrive. As they pursue wholeness and consider new possibilities, they begin to find peace as they open their hearts to vulnerability, trust, and faith.
Ms. Wade is also profoundly skilled at immersing the characters in settings that are richly detailed and wholly memorable. Set in the distinctive Pacific Northwest, Sweet on You is a book as splendid and as stunning as the scenic setting that enriches the story. Furthermore, the plot of this novel is refreshingly captivating as it abounds with circumstances and twists that are delightfully and thoroughly intriguing.
This novel is touching, inspiring, and compelling. It is original and appealing and everything a great book should be. I sincerely recommend Sweet on You. It is a book worthy of savoring and sharing. Ms. Wade is a gifted storyteller and with each book she writes, I find new reasons to love her work even more. I eagerly look forward to reading more of her novels in the future.
*I was given a copy of this book from Bethany House Publishers. A review was not required. The review I have written contains opinions that are entirely my own.

I am delighted to report that this highly anticipated conclusion of the Bradford Sisters series exceeded my lofty expectations! Sweet on You boasts wonderfully complex characters, an exciting plot, and an endearing friends-to-romance thread that rivals the sweetness of our heroine’s chocolate shop.

As far as I’m concerned, Britt and Zander are irresistibly lovable. Britt is a fiercely independent and adventurous young woman and a chocolatier savant, what’s not to love?! Zander is loyal and compassionate and uber talented in his own right! I admire the way he takes on the role of protector like it’s as natural to him as breathing.

Books, chocolate, and friends-to-romance threads aside (because what a winning combination!!!) Sweet on You strikes just the right balance between main character focus and secondary character spotlighting to draw-in new-to-the-series-readers while returning fans have the benefit of a “the gang’s all here” vibe. I highly recommend this series and look forward to reading future stories from Becky Wade.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the publisher and was under no obligation to post a review. The opinions expressed are my own.

I found this book to be absolutely delightful. I already love stories of best friends falling in love with each other. Knowing that Britt was a chocolatier was appealing, because I just love stories of characters who work in the food industry. You get some great recipes and inspiration for dishes to try at home. And of course there is the mystery aspect, revolving around the truth of his father's past and the setting just outside of Seattle.

The development of the relationship between Britt and Zander is intricately woven with their investigation into Zaner's Uncle Frank's past, in a perfect blend of the two types of stories. You have just enough intrigue without all of the drama. I felt a maturity in the storytelling that was refreshing to read. It felt like the author had really taken her time and given a lot of thought into every aspect of the story. Previous books are alluded to, but not necessary to have read in order to appreciate this one. I will say that I need to read the other ones, though, because now I want to know the stories of the other sisters and people in this book.

Being best friends for thirteen years, Britt & Zander are perfect for each other. Everyone knows it. Everyone except, that is, Britt.

This 3rd and final book in the Bradford Sisters series is as emotionally charged as the others. My heart ached for loyal and trusting Zander. We finally get a deeper look into the past of the man who has hovered on the fringes since Nora's story (book 1). He has cut his Grand Tour short to return for the funeral of a beloved Uncle, who has acted more like a father to him than his own. Now with questions being asked around the circumstances of his death - Zander's stay back in town is necessary. However, his relationship with Britt is closely surpassing the point in which he can no longer tolerate the friend zone she has so firmly placed him in.

While I felt the beginning began a little slow, at times there was very little zing between Britt & Zander, and perhaps allows for the 'distance' that comes from being apart from someone for a significant amount of time. Gradually as the seriousness of the case surrounding Uncle Frank heats up, so does the chemistry & the tension. I was glad that Britt came to her realizations gradually and not one of those sudden 'epiphany' moments some characters have. The additional plot is clever, and a great embellishment to the story as a whole. The delicious descriptions of Britt's chocolate creations inside Sweet Art will have you salivating!

I received a eARC from Netgalley. This is my honest review.

A sweet indulgence!

Britt felt guilty for being the only Bradford sister whose mom was still around. So she determined that she would not be a burden or a problem or allow herself to be vulnerable. Instead, she focused her attention on being the ideal sister and kept everything bottled up inside.

As a result of an unstable childhood, Zander is a little quirky. Among other things, he

- Can’t set a timer for an odd number of minutes

- Closes any door, cupboard, or drawer that has been left open

- Can’t stand to see someone load the dishwasher the wrong way – and has been known to reload those belonging to other people

I don’t often think of heroes as favorites. Despite the fact they are fictional, I’m not in the market for a book boyfriend – my husband is enough. :-) Yet with Zander, it is difficult to not admire him. His deep love for Britt which has stood the test of time (thirteen years!) is heart-rendingly sweet. He is so patient with her, despite sometimes getting mad and yelling. at her One of the women in the book describes him to be like a Dickens orphan – brooding and beautiful. While the entire story is exceptionally wonderful, the way Zander responded when Britt finally broke and had a panic attack . . . Ooh!

Sweet on You is an amazing, delightful story which touched my heart deeply. From Zander’s long-suffering love to Britt’s pain that she has bottled up. . . Add to these heart issues the mystery surrounding Zander’s uncle and the secrets and danger they uncover and you have the recipe for an incredible book!

I loved all the fun metaphors sprinkled throughout and the sometimes quirky characters. It is the perfect blend of romance and adventure and humor and even has police action requiring a SWAT team!

Be forewarned, though. Britt is a chocolatier. Be prepared to read lovely descriptions of chocolate making, chocolate flavors, and more delicious chocolate! I recommend having some on hand – preferably the decadent kind.

Instead of listening to me ramble on about this delicious treat, hurry and get a copy so you can see what I’m raving about! (If you haven’t read the other books in the series, you might want to start with the prequel and read them all. Sweet on You can stand alone but it does build on the others. You won’t regret reading them all!)


I was given a copy of this book. I was not required to give a favorable review nor was any money received for this review. All comments and opinions are my own.

OMG! Wow! It’s not easy to describe how much I loved The Bradford Sisters Series!
Ever since I read “Then came you” I fell in love with Garner Bradford and Kathleen Burke’s story! I knew this was going to be one of my favorite series and I was eager to start reading the story of each of their daughters, all three having a different mother. How their story started felt so real and heartfelt, sometimes raw and tragic, others even humorous. I really fell in love with this family!
I’ve read each and every one of the books in the series. I own them in paperback, I especially fell in love with the covers. This last one book was gifted to me by the Publisher and Author herself but I was in no way required to leave a positive review. But it not only deserves a positive review, but a truly exultant one, and this is really my honest opinion! This is my favorite contemporary series yet!!!
When I read “True to You”, I thought it would be hard to top this story, but “Falling for You” was equally good too! And what can I say… I just fell in love with “Sweet on You” and think it was the best closing for these series. Maybe because I already knew Britt and Zander from the previous novels and they really grew on me…
Britt befriended Zander when they were fourteen. Although they seemed very different, from social background, etc., it was sweet how they soon became the best of friends. Zander couldn’t help falling helplessly in love with Britt from the start, but since she didn’t seem to return his feelings outside of the friend zone, he didn’t want to risk the beautiful friendship they had by letting her know his feeling for her.
Britt’s greatest passion is chocolate. She has her own shop as a chocolatier in Merryweather. She has dated on and off, but she never seem’s to find the right guy… Might it be because no one will ever equal his best friend qualities?: Zander is loyal to the bone, compassionate, kind and caring, fun, supportive, he always knows what she has inside! He’s also extremely handsome in his unique way. But friends is better than having a relationship that may ruin the most beautiful thing in her life (other than her family), his unconditional friendship, right?
After Zander career as a writer becomes a huge success he decides he needs to separate himself from Britt, otherwise he’ll go crazy, and maybe his feelings will subdue if he’s oceans apart from her… But after a few years, when he comes back to his Uncle Frank’s funeral (the man who took him in and raised him) and sees Britt again, he realizes his feelings are even more solid now. Then life turns upside down when he finds out, along with his aunt, that Uncle Frank may not have been what he seemed and his sudden death becomes a mystery he has to solve, for his and his aunt’s peace of mind.
As Britt offers her help and this makes them spend more time together, the attraction they both feel can no longer be denied. But Britt is unsure of taking a bigger step. And Zander is not sure he can contain his feelings any longer…
I won’t spoil this story for you. I’ll just tell you it was awesome and I loved it. There is so much deepness of character and so much to learn behind the situations that unfold, their growing relationship, their trust of God in directing them in the right path… I love that these books always have an inspiring message and it helps you see how faith can light up your path in ways you never imagined. And that God always has your back and that his plans for us are always better than what we are setting our sights in.
This is a beautiful closing to The Bradford Sisters Series. I’m really sorry this has to end. I wish there would be a spin off story later so we can know what became of their lives and families.
And aww, I really fell in love with Zander! Wish there were many more Zanders out there that would make a woman feel so loved and cherished just like she is as he did with Britt! My hero!
Congrats on a wonderful book and series Becky! This are some books I will definitely reread!

I absolutely LOVED this book!!! Warning: You may find yourself craving chocolate while reading!!!

I've been a fan of Ms. Wade since reading My Stubborn Heart in 2012 and her writing just keeps getting better.

I have a love/hate relationship with series. I've read the novella prequel, Then Came You, and the first two in the series True to You and Falling for You and I loved each of them. I was excited to read Zander and Britt's story, the only bad thing is that the series ends with this book, which is the hate part of series. I hate to see them end.

The banter and romance between Zander and Britt is the stuff great relationships are made of and a friendship romance is one of my favorite type of romance. The tug of war that both Zander and Britt experienced was both real and authentic.

Within this series besides the great, brooding, strong heroes, and beautiful, brave, heroine's and their family saga is the mystery thread that Ms. Wade has woven into each of the books. I found the art heist mystery fun and intriguing. It pulled me into the story and couldn't turn pages fast enough.

Disclaimer: I received a copy of the book from the publisher. I was not required to write a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

From the title of this book you know this is going to be a story about a "sweet" romance.

Britt Bradford is the youngest of the three Bradford sisters. And she is fiercely independent. When she was 14 years old, a broken young man came to her school and she decided that she would befriend him. Thirteen years later, their friendship has blossomed into being the best of friends. The only thing is, Zander Ford has been in love with Britt ever since he met her. But wanting to maintain their especially close friendship, he holds back his true feelings for her. The trust and loyalty between them hallmarks what true friendship is about. Until Zander no longer can withhold his feelings for Britt. As Britt backpedals her own feelings, Zander is totally a gentleman and allows her the space she needs to navigate in her own time.

I am so amazed at how Becky Wade can delve into the deep feelings of her characters. She brings so much depth and insights into a relationship and the hazards of springing them loose. A truly sweet and special final story of the three Bradford sisters series.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the publisher. All views expressed are my honest opinion.

I've long been a Becky Wade fan, and her latest is no exception! I love the witty dialogue, the mystery, the romance, and the way that Becky's characters are so relatable, fun, and real. My favorite part about this book (and consequently Britt and Zander's relationship as it changed through the novel) was that the characters were truly themselves. Britt was fun and quirky, Zander was smart, emotional, and deep. The mystery wasn't just an afterthought - it truly was a plot device that brought in a lot of interesting side characters with their own issues/challenges/growth to do. I absolutely loved this book!! But read the whole Bradford Sisters books in order to get the most enjoyment out of them. It's always fun to catch up with the other sisters in this series. :)

Thanks to NetGalley and Bethany House for the complimentary ebook copy of this book. I was not required to share a favorable review. All opinions are my own.

Sweet on You was even better than Falling for You, but only by a hair. Can't Becky Wade write more than one novel a year? Just kidding Becky, take all the time you need to produce these awesome reads!

In Sweet on You, Zander has been in love with Britt since high school. Britt, on the other hand, considers Zander her very best friend. Except, when Zander returns from an 18 month trip and discovers his uncle may not have died from natural causes, Britt and Zander choose to work closely together to untie the mystery. That's when Zander realizes that taking an 18 month break didn't diminish his love for Britt, time only made their bond stronger. And Britt discovers, much to her dismay, that she may very well be in love with her best friend and that is not okay. She adores the relationship she and Zander have and does not want it to change. At all. But then he kisses her, which leads them on a road of trying to get back to "just friends," which isn't possible.

I think the thing I loved the most about this romance was how they were best friends before page one. How Zander has been head over heels in love with Britt forever. And how Britt, much to her surprise, has also been in love with Zander but was afraid to face those feelings. That premise created a strong romantic conflict that ran the course of the entire novel.

Um. Wow.

I first fell (hard) for Becky Wade’s books when I discovered True To You (John & Nora 😍) at a local bookstore. Her writing was fantastic, tugged at my heartstrings, and smashed its way to my TOP FAVE list!

And now. This book. It gives me #allthesqueals!!!!!

*Deep Breath* Now, I want to tell you why you should go out, buy this book, smell it, and keep it forever.

Reason #1: The Characters

Zander. And his selfless, powerful, soulful, heart-breaking love for Britt. But beside all that—he’s such a cool character! He writes, appreciates chocolate, does dishes (*important fact*), solves mysteries, and knows Britt better than anyone else in the world. Plus he’s got a tragic past that only Jesus can help him overcome.

Britt. And her stubborn, fearless, creative personality. Her fierce love for her people. And even though her head takes a while to catch up with what her heart knows, once it blossoms, her love is a force to be reckoned with!

Reason #2: The Chocolate

Seriously. So much chocolate. I want to taste all of them, and Becky Wade’s amazing descriptions make all of Britt’s creations come alive on the page!!

Reason #3: The Story

The themes of forgiveness, trust, and faith. The power of love.

They mystery. The angst. The bonds of family, and what family really means. What happens when the foundation you thought would always be there suddenly shatters, and you are forced to face the hard questions, and the possibility of a brand new future.


And although John & Nora are still my favorite Bradford sister couple, Britt & Zander sure gave them a run for it!! 😂

So yeah. Read this book. Tell your friends they need to read this book! *You’re welcome*

I received a copy of this book from the publisher for FREE, and a positive review was not required.

Note: There are a few teensy parts that are a bit TMI, or for a more mature audience.

It was a fun story in parts and I did enjoy it, but overall I didn't find the mystery or the romance terribly compelling. I think it's a great Christian romance that I will definitely recommend to patrons, I love Becky Wade, but I was a tad disappointed.

No one writes romance like Becky Wade—she has the steam-worthy kisses, the heart throbbing heros, and the sweet and aching love. I was so glad that Britt and Zander finally got their own story! I love old-friends-turn-into-romance plots and really enjoyed reading about their journey. Although their romance takes center stage, the mystery in the novel makes the storyline even more intriguing. There are a few surprising twists and turns, both to the love story and the mystery. It was nice to read a conclusion to the Bradford sisters, although I was a little sad to see the series end. I highly recommend this book and this series!

I've thoroughly enjoyed the Bradford sisters series and this book offered a satisfying conclusion to their tale. Book 1 was about Nora, the middle sister. Book 2 was about Willow, the eldest. And this book was about Britt, the youngest. While each story can stand alone, I would strongly recommend reading them in order as the back-stories do build on each other.

Britt has always been fiercely independent and had never given any depth to her dating relationships. She's never had to lean on anyone but herself and she likes it that way, thank you very much. As we've seen in the prior books, Britt's best friend Zander Ford has loved Britt since the day they met (pretty much) and at the end of the previous book had decided that he needed some distance from her flighty relationships, taking a world tour after his first novel becomes a success. At the beginning of this book, his tour is cut short by the death of his uncle. When things surrounding the death are not quite what they seem, Zander's aunt requests his help in uncovering her husband's secrets and Zander and Britt set out to solve the mystery. As time progresses, Britt finds herself crushing on her bestie and tries in vain to push those feelings away. All the while Zander fears what unrequited love on his part will do to their relationship as his emotions have only intensified with the physical distance.

This book had a lot of great characteristics - fantastic writing, good characters, quirky banter, a sweet romance, a good mystery, an element of danger and an exceptional faith moment. Once the story was completed, the author included an epilogue to show the trajectories of all 3 sisters that brought about a satisfying conclusion to the series.

In addition to the 3 novels in this series, I would recommend the prequel novella (Then Came You) and the novella that is part of The Christmas Heirloom collection about Britt's friend Maddie, for more of the story. All in all, this is a series I would strongly recommend to fans of contemporary romance or just good character-driven stories. Special thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for an ecopy of this book. I was not required to write a review and the thoughts contained herein are my own.

Yay! Another Bradford sister story! I love following this family.

Sweet on You is another Becky Wade hit! Oh, how I enjoyed this story. Ms. Wade has a wonderful storytelling gift. Her characters are lively, believable, and make such an impact. Her touches of faith and humor mingle well with a sweet romance, leaving me with a satisfied smile.

Britt and Zander are such endearing characters—very different, yet ideally match up. Britt, the youngest of the Bradford sisters, runs a mouth-watering chocolate shop that had me craving a visit! I love when a hero sneaks into my heart and makes it beat a bit faster. Zander is patient and kind (swoon.) I adore him.

‘Friends to something more’ stories are some of my favorites. The underlying relationship Britt and Zander have had for so long is strong, and I rooted for them to experience an even deeper, more romantic connection. As with all of Becky Wade’s stories, I got even more than I’d hoped for. This story is mysterious, romantic, and spiritual, wrapping up a special family series.
