This is a series of books that take place in Blossom Glenn. The Sweetheart Fix is the second one in the series. I’m sure the third will be out soon. As this is a story of three sisters. Even though it is a series it definitely can be read as a standalone.

I love being back in Blossom Glen. Juliet and Jack’s story is very fun! Juliet Montgomery a relationship therapist with a bit of a questionable relationship history.
Jackson Monroe the town mayor only buries his feelings.
I absolutely love the banter between the two of them. It’s fun to see how they work together to save Jackson’s grandma‘s property.

This is a sweet romance story with a lot of excitement. Miranda sure knows how to tell a story I highly recommend this book.

I want to thank netgalley and entanglement publishing for an ARC Of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Did I just get onto my Kindle to buy The Sweetheart Deal (Blossom Glen Book 1)? You bet!
The Sweetheart Fix is book two in this series.
Each book in the Blossom Glen set can be read as a standalone.

The Sweetheart Fix by Miranda Liasson was a wonderful small town romance story.
I adored Juliet and Jack. Their development throughout was so much fun to watch unfold.
Liasson's vivid descriptions and characters has me wanting to sale and pack up everything I own and hit the road to Blossom Glen, Indiana... Fictional town or not!! Like seriously.
The way Miranda Liasson expertly weaves the circumstances of Jack and Juliet's life into a beautifully written story that will touch your heart.
Her writing just pours off the pages and it's one of those I didn't want to end so soon.
This is a delightful, heartwarming story. I can't wait to start book one.

“Don’t change. You’re perfect as you are”

This is the second book in the Blossom Glen series but each book can be read as a stand alone. 😁

Thank you @netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

Juliet and Jack both had me laughing and smiling like a fool! This is definitely an adorable romcom with a hint of seriousness. I was able to finish this look in less then a day because I was hooked.

Juliet the towns newest relationship therapist (but she has grown up in this town all of her life) end up being asked to take some time off as she didn’t handles a couples questions professionally. As she is trying to get her life together and figure out what to do next she runs into Jack Monroe.

Jack Monroe is Blossom Glens mayor, trying to save his grandmothers land and help the small town stay a small town.

Jack and Juliet team up together fixing the small town’s resident disputes when feelings start to stir!

This book releases on Nov 29th! So go preorder now!

How judgmental are you? Some of the folks in Blossom Glen sure seem to be this way, or is it our own judgment of ourselves that we think others are judging us? We all have a past. Would you handle yours differently than Juliet and Jack did? I loved how they helped each other grow and deal with their own perception of themselves. The way Juliet’s family was always there for each other, that’s the way families should be. I can’t say enough good about Jack’s Granny. What a special woman. I loved getting to know the good folks of Blossom Glen and hope I can go back for another visit. I received this book from NetGalley, but my opinion is my own.

A charming small town romance that had me grinning from ear to ear.
I thought the plotline here was unique to small town settings and I really liked how it played out. The ending didn't feel rushed and it made sense for the story/characters.
The characters were delightful too. There's something about small town characters that just make you feel comforted and loved. Sort of like getting a great hug but from fictional people.
Juliet and Jack complimented each other well. I really enjoyed their dynamic and watching them fall in love was heartwarming. Their romance felt like I was watching a Hallmark movie. It was nice, sweet and romantic.
This is a quick read too, in case you're like me and don't have a ton of free time on your hands.
A heartwarming small town romance that I think a lot of readers will adore.

The Sweetheart Deal us book 2 in the Blossom Glen series and, once again, Miranda Liasson did not disappoint! This book focuses on Juliet, who has grown up in Blossom Glen. The whole town sees her as a flaky runaway bride with 2 broken engagements under her belt. Even though she tries hard to reinvent herself as a marriage/relationship therapist the whole town feels what could she know when she can't keep her own relationships. Jack is a Texas transplant and the town mayor who offers her a job helping him settle disputes as he is not very good with feelings. Sparks fly immediately and though they try to deny them, this book explores what happens when 2 opposites attract. Can they keep the spark alive or are their differences too great?

Love the characters and reading a bit about Tess and Leo also.

Thanks to Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for the ARC.

Although this is part of a series this book can be read alone. This is the second book in the Blossom Glen series and, with two of the three sisters covered in these books, it is likely that a third will be coming. It was a easy story that flowed well with no real slow parts and was very nice to revisit some of the characters from the previous Sweetheart book. In this story you follow Juliet and Jack as they banter, get along and fall in love. Living in a small town in Indiana Juliet is the home town sweetheart home from Grad school to start her career as a couples counselor. Jack a Texas transplant as a young teen, the current mayor and he had a tough childhood being raised by his grandmother. Juliet has trouble establishing her career as in a small town everyone know your business including your past breakups. Jack hires Juliet to help with community disputes like a town counselor and to bolster his reputation in the community to help get the community on his side as his beloved grandmother is about to lose her land. The romance is a slow burn and the tension is there from the beginning. It reflects nicely on the development of the romance and the plot as well as the showing the importance of community and helping one another.

My thanks to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for the privilege of reviewing this book.

I found Miranda Liasson within the last year and have enjoyed two other books she has written as well. It took me a few tries before I got into the story this time. I love the close family and friend relationships she includes in her romance books. This story brought a whole community together while Jack and Juliet find themselves individually as well as a couple. There were times my heart physically ached for Jack and Juliet. I think that's where I kept stalling when trying to read this. I felt too much for them. Once I pressed through, I didn’t want to put it down. This story has so much heart. I'm looking forward to Vivienne's story next!

Thank you NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC of this book. This is my voluntary and honest review.

Super sweet & sappy. Makes you smile and laugh and sometimes cry.

Juliet is a eager therapist ready to start her career, Jack is the Mayor of their Indiana city. Both of them dealing with heavy emotional baggage and neither of them seem to realize it until life forces them to.

I did roll my eyes a bit, first as a Texan I’m not sure the Texas ways would be so ingrained in Jack at 12 years old being raised by his grandmother who was not a Texan (that I remember) but I’m not gonna lie, Ms Liasson wrote Texas cowboy well. Second, things fell into place SUPER easy in almost every aspect of the story but sometimes that’s nice. In the end I felt warm and fuzzy and enjoyed the read so that’s all that matters to me.

I hadn’t put together that this was the second book in the series but I did read the first and look forward to reading about the third Montgomery sister in the future.

I absolutely adored this sweet, romantic book by Miranda Liasson. This book was filled with joy and happiness that kept me reading. I didn't want the book to end! I enjoyed characters and felt a connection with them. Five stars!

The Sweetheart Fix is the second book in the Blossom Glen Series. It is a cute, light hearted romance .
Juliet is a couples counselor in the small town she lives in , The only problem is that she has had a problem getting clients due to her past relationships.
Jack is the town mayor who is good at his job but lacks the communication skills that would help make his job easier. He is also under a lot of stress to save his grandma’s house .
Juliet & Jack end up working together temporarily to help keep peace in the town. While helping solve the town problems they find that they really enjoy each other’s company.
I really enjoyed this book and look forwArd to the rest of the series. Thank you Netgalley and publisher for a copy for my opinion.

This book was cute - but sadly for me it missed a lot of the chemistry that the first one had!

While I liked Jack and Juliet (Lulu) as individuals, I couldn't feel the connection between them - like we were told that they had chemistry and found each other attractive rather than shown. I felt that the pacing was rather slow too, and anytime Juliet has an opportunity to counsel or slip into her counsellor role, it just felt long winded and so I ended up skimming those parts. I enjoyed the parts where she was interacting with the townspeople - those parts, really showed who she was and her character more than anything else.

I will still read the next one in the series however.

Thanks to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for the ARC. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
This is a cute "cozy" series. Not a lot of romance, not a lot of action, not very memorable, but a nice read all the same. Even though this is the second book, you can read it as a standalone - I had read The Sweetheart Deal but remembered almost nothing from it until at least halfway through this one. I've read a few of Miranda Liasson's and enjoy her writing style.

Juliet is very excited about her job as a couples counselor. Only when one of the couples calls her out on her broken engagements, her boss asks her to take some time off. She decides to atleast get some thing right and pay off her parking ticket, and ends up in an attending the Mayors forum. When she gives a suggestion to resolve an issue, the Mayor, Jack hires her as the city counselor.
This is a sweet, fun and light hearted read. I enjoyed the banter between Jack and Juliet. They both have emotional baggage they need to let go in order to reach their HEA, and I enjoyed the journey of finding themselves.
Overall an enjoyable read !

The story of couples counselor Juliet Montgomery and town mayor Jack Monroe is one to be enjoyed by all who enjoy a good story with a lot of messy life peeking in. Juliet’s plan to be a couples counselor in her hometown of Blossom Glen, Indiana, is upended when her boss tells her that she just isn’t ready yet. After all, her past relationships throw a big shadow over the possibility of successfully counseling others. So, when she takes a job with Mayor Jack Monroe, really a fill in position as a mediator, Juliet had no idea what it would lead to. The ups and downs of relationships and life in general are portrayed honestly and with a tongue-in-cheek humor that was refreshing. I enjoyed the way the plot rolled smoothly along, with some twists in the road and some real drama. I especially enjoyed the how real the characters were, with fallibilities that were revealed along the way of their own trip to self-discovery. This was a fun book to read, entertaining as well as lighthearted and sweet spirited. My favorite characters were the protagonists, of course, but I also really liked Jack’s grandmother. Her kindness and generosity were exemplary and a good addition to the story. Fans of romance without a lot of steam but with a great deal of budding love will enjoy this visit to Indiana where the people are real and the emotion is a wellspring of life well lived.

Didn't realize when I started reading this is part of a series but no worries it can be read alone.
Juliette the second child of three daughters is excited to start her new career as a therapist when she is blindsided by her patients by them bringing up her past two engagements. This being a small town everyone knows unfortunately everyone's story and Juliette is still being talked about the woman who left two men at the altar. Jack the mayor of the town is also dealing with commitment issues, so its a twist when they both start seeing each other. This is a story of overcoming one's past not being to hard one one's self and fighting onward. A sweet story about finding love even after all some chaos in ones life. Review on goodreads and eventually on amazon.

🍁 Small Town Romance
🍁 Enemies to Lovers vibes
🍁 Found family

This is book 2 in Miranda Liasson’s small town standalone romance series, and a chance to return to Blossom Glen and the Montgomery sisters. As always, Liasson delivers a book that is charming and heartwarming - this time focusing on middle sister, and unlucky in love, Juliet.

These reads give you that cozy feeling of a hallmark movie or visiting Stars Hollow (for my fellow Gilmore fans). They’re sweet, have some quirky side characters and feel good. This read was an easy, quick fall romance - it was cute and great for settling in with a warm beverage and getting caught up in the small town created within.

I’m always a fan of cameos from other characters and in this case we get to see many again, including Tessa and Leo from book 1. Juliet was an interesting to learn more about, and I really liked the idea of her and Jack. I enjoyed watching how their relationship evolved over the course of the book.

I look forward to revisiting Blossom Glen again and hearing Viv’s story and seeing her figure it all out (also hopefully some check ins on out other couples). I can’t help but wonder what’s next…Noah?

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing / Amara for the opportunity to read an early copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

I really enjoyed this book, but I had a hard time keeping my attention in the story. I don't know if it was me or the book. I truly believe that it is a wonderful story and it was quirky fun. But some parts lulled a bit and I kept losing interest.

Julie loves the town she is in and she is ready to start marriage counseling to couples who are struggling, but her own love life is getting in the way. Her failed engagements are blocking her path to her dream job and she doesn't quit know what to do to fix it.

Jack is the mayor and he is trying to save his grandmother's land. But he struggles with relating to his towns people. So when a chance encounter at a meeting brings Julie through his door he jumps on the opportunity to have her help him communicate better. But what he does not consider is the fact that he is attracted to her. Can he save his grandmother's land and keep from falling in love? Sure he can. He doesn't date.

Or so he thinks?.....

This story was cute and the characters were fun. I loved the banter between Jack and Julie. The shenanigans they got up to were hilarious. Small town stories are fun and entertaining to read as the small town gossip is an interesting concept. And this book had that in spades. I would read more from this author.

This is the first book I have read by Miranda Liasson, and while it is actually book 2 in a series, you don’t need to have read the other book first in order to follow along.

This is a sweet, small-town romance that focuses on family and friends. It has a simple, predictable storyline, and the characters are likeable. Overall, a fun, quick read.
