A sweet, summer romance that made me melt, swoon and adore the MCs. Miranda was able to provide a book that made you crave summer but also love the feeling of a crush and the journey to find love. This book was one that kept me wanting to read until I finished.

Charming small-town romance. Exceptionally written and utterly adorable!

Feels just like a Hallmark movie.

With every page, you're wrapped in warmth, enveloped in the gentle embrace of nostalgia and hope. The characters leap off the pages, each with their own quirks and heartfelt stories that resonate with anyone who's ever believed in the power of love.

This is the last story in this series, but they all stand alone so you don't have to read the previous two. That said, you should, because I love this little town and the quirky people who live in it. I honestly wasn't sure what to expect from this one, as I hadn't loved Viv in the previous books, but I feel like getting to know her better made her easier to understand.

Another cute book in The Sweetheart series, a super enjoyable read. I have really enjoyed this series.

The Sweetheart Crush was a fun read featuring a friends to lovers romance between childhood best friends.

Viv Montgomery always dreamed of leaving her small hometown of Blossom Glen and for twelve years she managed it. But now she's broke and finds herself returning home until she can figure out her next move. When she runs into her former best friend, Logan Matthews, he's nothing like the boy she remembers and has become a brooding bestselling author. Viv isn't sure how to mend their friendship but after Logan offers her a job that she desperately needs, she's determined to find a way. But somewhere along the way, their friendship turns into something more and the secret Logan has been keeping has the potential to ruin everything.

Viv has always wanted to be a photographer and during the twelve years she lived outside Blossom Glen, she tried to make her dream a reality. I liked how passionate Viv was about photography and that despite having to return home, she was still trying to find a way to achieve her dream. Viv's family is a large part of this book and I did find them overbearing at times. Logan has been dealing with a PR problem recently which is the job he offers Viv, to fix his image. I liked how that situation played out and how it brought Viv and Logan closer.

Friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes so I was looking forward to the romance in this and I was interested to see how Viv and Logan's estrangement would affect that. The two actually rekindle their friendship pretty quickly which was nice. I enjoyed watching them slowly move from friendship to something more and how they each had their doubts but worked through them. This book is closed door which I wasn't aware of going in which was a bit disappointing as I do prefer my romances to be more on the explicit side. There is a bit of drama towards the end of the book related to a secret Logan kept from Viv and I didn't love how that was handled. But aside from those issues, I did enjoy the pair's romance.

Overall The Sweetheart Crush was a cute read and I'm interested in reading the previous two books in the series in the future.

Cute little friends to enemies to lovers book. Sometimes you just want a sweet, cosy small town romance and this is it.

The Sweetheart Crush by Miranda Liasson is a delightful and heartwarming contemporary romance novel that combines small-town charm with themes of second chances and unexpected love. This is book 3 of the Blossom Glen series. I didn't know this was a series but the book read as a standalone. I'm sure there were characters I encountered that were significant from the previous books in the series. Viv and Glen were best friends and then Viv left the small town only to return 12 years later. This is where we get to see the relationship change and bloom with the second chance.

The Sweetheart Crush by Miranda Liasson is a new installment in a fun series. Here, Viv and Logan have a reconnect and find possible romance. I love the world created by this author. The setting is lovely and it is one of my favorite parts of these novels. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

I've never read anything by this author before, but I really enjoyed it! A nice, lovely, yet somewhat predictable.

The strong connection between these two main characters is why I enjoy them. Logan is shown wonderfully and shows genuine care for Viv. It was natural that the relationship would rekindle, though it took some time. I especially enjoyed the warm small-town vibe. It was wonderful to witness Viv pursue her dreams.

Thank you Entangled Publishing, Net Galley and Miranda Liasson for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Viv and Logan where best friends until a would be kiss, sent them going in separate ways. Years later they both come back to Blossom Glen. Are they going to be able to brebuild their friendship or is is still back where it was twelve years ago?

This was a good book. THere was a lot of tension, romance, anger, and laughter. I read it quickly.

The Sweetheart Crush is the third book in Miranda Liasson’s Blossom Glen series; that said I feel each of these books can be read as a stand-alone although each story is wonderful so I recommend reading them all. I’ve enjoyed this series, but felt The Sweetheart Crush was the best in the series. I felt it had more depth, the characters really dug deep to make some changes in their lives and open themselves up to the possibility of love, and both characters had to examine the past and make peace with it. Best friends since childhood, one awkward almost teenage kiss led to years of hurt feelings, but now back in their hometown Viv Montgomery and Logan Matthew are caught in a viral video having a terse discussion which leads to an interesting arrangement. The more time these two spend together, the more they both begin to realize that despite more than a decade apart, their friendship was important and their feelings for each other are deeper than they ever deemed possible.

I love the way Ms. Liasson layered this story, I’m never a huge fan of books where a couple had something in the past and they spend the entire book re-hashing the moment it went wrong. We don’t see that in this book, yes it is discussed but most of their time together is spent learning about each other as the adults they’ve become; their fears, their accomplishments, their failures, and their dreams for the future.

I felt this book was more emotional than the other books in this series, but I think that comes from the strong feelings they both had towards one another. Feelings that were there back on that fateful night years ago that came roaring back once they were in each other’s lives again. What I really loved was how they both had such doubts about their abilities in their chosen profession and yet they were each other’s biggest cheerleaders.

The Sweetheart Crush was a slow burn, second chance romance, filled with emotion, memories good and bad, friends and family, and most of all two people finally figuring out that a relationship built on friendship is the sweetest of all.

I loved this book!!! Such a fantastic second chance story!!! I loved Viv , and Logan is made of dreams. This story definitely reminds us how stupid teenagers can be, but how everyone matures with time.

The Sweetheart Crush is the 3rd book in the Blossom Glen series by Miranda Liasson, but each book in the series is a standalone romance. Photographer, Viv Montgomery, was given money from her mother and sister to leave Blossom Glen and follow her dreams. Twelve years later, she hasn't made it big and returned home to regroup and figure out what she wanted to do with her life. She is working in the town's Christmas store when she runs into Logan, the man she left behind, the one she cared about, but was too afraid to tell him. Logan is a best-selling author of thriller books, but is terrible interacting with the public. He hires Viv to work on his image, and social media and truths come out. Will these two be able to rekindle those old feelings and have a relationship?

This is a sweet romance with some great characters. I really liked Viv and Logan and wanted them to get together. With a misunderstanding from their past standing in their way, it will just take communication to sort it out. Both Logan's and Viv's families play a large part of the story and I really liked that. Families in small towns make the stories more relatable. Although this is an easy read, there is an issue with bullying and peer pressure that was very realistic, and I loved the way it was dealt with. If you enjoy a fun, clean romance, then you will enjoy The Sweetheart Crush as well as the rest in the series.

I like a good friends to lovers story. Viv and Logan meeting up after such a long time gives good storyline opportunities.

I received this story as an advance reader copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book is the third installment in Miranda Liasson's Blossom Glen series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone. Best friends Viv Montgomery and Logan Matthew, who share a complicated history stemming from a childhood kiss, find themselves back in their hometown and caught in a viral video. As they spend more time together, they realize their friendship is essential, and their feelings run deeper than they ever imagined. Unlike typical romance novels, this book focuses on the characters' growth as adults and their journey to reconcile their past while navigating their present. It's an emotional and heartfelt story of second chances, friendship, and the realization that a relationship rooted in friendship is the most precious of all.

Engrossing and well written. A beautiful treasure of a book.
Many thanks to Entangled Publishing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Viv is home from Europe - where she journeyed off to make a name for herself in the art world and get out her home town…leaving the “boy next door” behind. In a “fish out of water” analogy - her family owns and runs a bakery and Viv has a gluten sensitivity. Her time in Europe didn’t prepare her for much, so she is working in a local Christmas store when the boy next door returns home as a very successful author. He is home to reconnect with his family, most notably his younger sister - but his sister seems to be connecting more with Viv and they are constantly being the close proximity is messing with both of them. Can they get move past their past and rekindle their friendship (or more)?

I liked this book because the heavy moments are broken up by funny/laughable moments. I really liked the characters - they are all very relatable!

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley; all opinions are my own.

This is the book I needed to read without knowing it.
Thank you Entangled Insiders and Brittany Zimmerman for giving me the opportunity to read this e-arc.
This is the story of Viv and Logan, who were best friends until one fatal night where Logan tried to kiss Viv. Then they went their separate ways after high school. Fast forward 12 years later, life brought them back to Blossom Glen.
This is such a wonderful and feel good book.
The story was full of goodness, people just trying to find their own way through life, romance, family values, I enjoyed every moment, and read it a lot faster than expected.
Sometimes, a book just makes you forget about the day to day trouble, this is exactly what I needed. I will definitely be stalking Miranda Liasson for more.
