About this ebook

Deck the halls in Sweetbriar Cove this holiday season with this romantic, feel-good novella from the USA Today bestselling series! 

Rose Cardinelli thought she had happily-ever-after all figured out, until her boyfriend dumps her just ten days before Christmas. She’s ready to skip the holidays and wallow in a winter wonderland, until she gets a surprisingly tempting offer to spice up the season…

Nick Sterling is Sweetbriar Cove’s resident bachelor - and he likes it that way. If anyone knows about moving on from a broken heart, it’s him, so he’s more than happy to offer his expertise to the lovelorn town florist. He just isn’t expecting one tantalizing kiss to leave him breathless… 

The deal is simple: make Rose’s ex rue the day he let her go, but with the help of some seriously spiked egg-nog, a runaway sleigh, and the cut-throat Christmas scavenger hunt, Nick and Rose are soon heating up the holidays. But will this festive fling lead to true love? 

Celebrate the holidays with all your favorite Sweetbriar Cove characters in this special Christmas love story!

Ratings and reviews

4.5 Stars for From This Moment (Sweetbriar Cove #17) This nips one of those series that I’m still playing catch-up with, I was late to game but I love everything about each visit I have made to Sweetbriar Cove and as Christmas is my favourite time of the year I was excited for this book. As will all of this series Nick Sterling and Rose Cardinello’s romance can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone but I’m sure one visit to Sweetbriar Cove will never be enough. Rose has been dumped by her ex just before Christmas and Nick really feels for her so he offers to be her partner in the town scavenger hunt and that’s when things start to get interesting. Everyone sees Nick as a player but there is so much more to this man than he lets on and Rose is about to find the man behind the playboy image. This book ticked all my boxes, the characters were easy to fall for and connect with, the banter was witty and it’s a well written romance that will appeal to a wide range of audiences.

Rose Cardinello, the Sweetbriar Cove florist, thought she had her life figured out. Unfortunately, her boyfriend, Scott, had other plans. Nick Sterling, the resident bachelor, had broken many women’s hearts for years but in hindsight, he was dealing with his own broken heart of his past. Nick and Rose were casual friends and he decided to help Rose with her heartbreak, by a fake relationship. That is when everything changes. Add a community holiday scavenger hunt, a dangerous sleigh ride, spiked eggnog, and their sparking attraction to each other, it makes for a heartwarming holiday in a small town. Checking in with the residents from Sweetbriar Cove was perfect to help Rose and Nick experience the holiday! Great book!

4 Star review of From This Moment (Sweetbriar Cove #17) by Melody Grace I have only read a couple of books in this series but what I have read I thoroughly enjoyed can be read as a stand alone.This was a sweet and romantic story about Rose Cardinello, a florist in Sweetbriar Cove and Nick Sterling. Poor Rose, dumped by her jerk of an ex just before Christmas and when Nick learns what happened he is angry on her behalf. Nick has a reputation as being a bit of a player but there is more to him than first appears. Joining forces for the scavenger hunt they find they make a great team and friendship quickly turns to more. I love small town romances and this one ticked a number of boxes for me. I was hooked on story that Ms.Grace wove. The writing was strong and descriptive and I found myself easily imagining myself in Sweetbriar Cove. Both Rose and Nick were easy to like and I found myself invested in their story.
