Tropes/Genres:
• best friend's brother
• instant attraction
• small town (Sewickley!)
• contemporary romance
• talks about infertility
• a lot of spicy scenes
• food (anyone fancy some tiramisu?)

Review: This book had so many twists and turns. I DID NOT SEE ANYTHING COMING. And I’m usually very good at seeing things coming. My mind is blown.

Lianna and Kincaid are so cute. Kincaid is such a green flag. He's such a green flag that whatever conflict I had expected them to have didn't happen. He's so supportive and always thinks about Lianna and her feelings instead of his own (within reason). Both have trust issues due to their traumatic past relationships (one has a cheating ex-husband, and the other has a lying ex-fianceé), but they try their best not to view each other through the lens of their exes. Isn't that just so mature?

In a way, this story is realistic because it talks about very real topics: infertility, trust in relationships, gaslighting, etc. But the book also handles such heavy topics in a gentle way, balancing them out with sweet (and sexy) moments that fill readers' hearts.

The characters, particularly those we may not agree with, are three-dimensional, and I know such people do exist in this world... sadly. It's interesting to see how the bad guys in the book actually have good sides as well. And even the good guys in the book can say mean things that they don't mean. I'm glad that the main characters have such a good support system.

I recommend this book to readers who like to read light-hearted books with heavy topics and a couple of twists and turns. This is the third book of a series of interconnected stand-alone books. While you can read each book as a stand-alone, I think it's better to read the books in chronological order, so do read Slow Simmer and Here's the Scoop first before reading this book!

Thank you, NetGalley, for the read.

Such a lighthearted and fun romantic comedy! Lianna's fresh start leads her to Kincaid, the owner of a construction company that Lianna found while working on remodeling her home. Lianna and Kincaid actually knew each other in high school and Kincaid is quick to make innuendos that make Lianna speechless. They both decide to take a chance on each other and on love. Sheridan Jeane makes you feel like you personally know her characters, which is part of why I rated this book so highly. I loved all the fun and flirty parts of this book. This was such an easy read that I devoured in only a couple of sittings. I hope others enjoy this book as much as I did!

Book boyfriend - check, cute funny moments - check, love story you wish would happen to you - check. Romantic comedy perfection - check check! Kincaid is the dreamy man that you know will listen to your problems and hold your hand through the tough times. Now my standards are even higher!

Such a good read. Two very battered individuals trying to navigate their future together whilst their exes, and exes new partners make life so difficult for them. A good group of friends and family strengthen the reading of this book and chocolate recipes never hurt either.

Loved this lighthearted, fun and flirty romantic comedy! I feel like I know these characters from the detailed descriptions given by Sheridan Jeane ( author). Lianna, recently divorced, has moved on and is trying to find her way while putting the past behind her. A new beginning in an older home leads her to Kincaid, the owner of Gillette Construction as she seeks out someone to do an add-on in her home. Kincaid happens to be someone she knew from high school and is quickly reminiscing their history. Their relationship quickly develops with the help of Kincaid sister, Courtney. Kincaid is handsome, charming and quick with innuendos leaving Lianna breathless! Despite both of their histories and lack of trust, they take a chance on love. Filled with surprises, a few lies and hope for love , “ From Bitter to Sweet” is a heartwarming easy joyful read.

I gave this book 5 stars for its lighthearted, fun, yet intriguing storyline. I read it in one day. I appreciated how the chapters connected and the topic jumped right to the next important part. Sheridan gave such detail by describing the moment , movements and expression leaving the reader without question what it was really like. This is the first book I’ve read that included animals and I loved it ! They are a part of our lives and it was so appropriate to include them! I also thought the title was so poignant and you’ll see why. To be published June 5th, 2023!

Thansk NetGalley and Sheridan Jeane for this ARC, appreciate it so much!

This story revolves around Kincaid and Lianna. Both are attracted to each other at first site I love both of them, especially Kincaid he is so kind and caring, and he is such a walking green flag🟩 every girl asks for.

But both have trust issues there own because of their past relationships but they got a second chance with each other💕 but still they have to pass that trust huddle caused by Lianna’s ex fucking husband and Kincaid's manipulative of a girlfriend ( they both are sucks😡 hate em).

I love how supportive Kincaid is for Lianna at every turn he has her back.

The book title really suits them (from bitter to sweet😍💕) the title also was the reason I wanted to read this book so badly💕💘🥰.
Mainly I like about the book that is it's in dual POV I love how Kincaid sees Lianna💕💘 with so much love and so much respect truly.

I love when books has dual POV and it was with to read💕🤌🏻🔥, the sexual tension and all really.

To say I enjoyed this book may be an understatement considering I finished it within a day!

I really enjoyed the character progression of this book and felt both Lianne's and Kincaid's pain from their previous relationships.

A perfect romance for this summer! Can be read as a standalone or as part of a series. I am now going to go and read books 1 & 2 because I want to know more about the secondary characters!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the chance to read this one!

Sheridan Jeane has done it again!!! From Bitter to Sweet is the perfect sweet but spicy romcom.

Lianna is recovering from her divorce with her new hose when she hires Kincaid Gillette from Gillette Construction to be the contractor on her house addition. They knew of each other in high school, but Lianna is better friends with his sister, Courtney. Courtney pushes the two of them to see each other and while Kincaid is working on her house, they start to spend more and more time together. After they exchange "I love you's," they find that Lianna is pregnant even though she thought she was infertile. Kincaid does not take the news well because he was drunk and his past relationship left him scared to trust.

I loved this story and how it really was the perfect mix of sweet and spicy. Kincaid seems like a guy who was take advantage of too many times and is scared to trust. I can't believe that someone would really lie about being pregnant. Lianna seems like the sweetest soul so I was happy to see her get her happy ending and the baby that she had been craving so long!!

Sheridan Jeane has become an auto-read author of mine! Her flirty quick stories have been so fun to dive into and enjoy. They are quick and sexy and always a good time. This title had some twists that caught me by surprise and I was loving it. I felt so immersed in the characters and the story that I was just along for the ride. I also love a best friends brother trope and this book definitely delivered! Do yourself a favor and read this (and ALL) of Jeane's titles!
