About this ebook

Discover the recipe for love in this delectable holiday romance from New York Times bestselling author, Melody Grace!

Natalie Diaz believes that life is sweet. It’s why she’s leaving heartbreak behind to start a delicious new chapter: opening her dream candy store on Cape Cod for the holidays. Goodbye, break-up blues, hello, handmade chocolate truffles! She’s determined to make her fresh start count, which means no drama, and definitely no distractions—especially not from the mouthwateringly-handsome stranger who keeps crossing her path…

Luke Kinsella wasn’t planning on falling head over heels the moment he stepped foot in Sweetbriar Cove. With his business on the rocks, love is the last thing on his mind, but one look at the mysterious brunette sends his pulse racing… And when he tries her sinfully-sweet candies, he knows one taste will never be enough. He’s used to women swooning into his arms, but Natalie is different. Sure, Luke’s smile makes her knees melt faster than chocolate in the midday sun, but she’s been hurt before. She’s determined to resist the heat burning between them and stay just friends. But as their connection deepens, their red-hot chemistry becomes impossible to ignore. 

Can Natalie take a chance on a Christmas miracle and trust her heart again? And when the past she’s been running from finally catches up with them both, will these two hearts find a way to build a new future together, or will their sugar rush bring them both crashing back down to earth?

Ratings and reviews

I really like the Kinsella clan and I think it's great addition to the Sweetbriar Cove gang. I just gobbled this book right up. I love that Natalie has a chocolate shop.I think it's so cool. Luke is just dreamy and prime book boyfriend material. Natalie is making a fresh start in Sweetbriar Cove and she never counted on someone like Luke coming into her life. Being gun shy with relationship due to what drove her to Sweetbriar Cove, but Luke is so hard to resist. I love watching the friendships Natalie starts to make with the citizens of Sweetbriar Cove. Though soon Natalie's past comes a knocking and threatening the future she is creating. This is an easy book to get lost into. Plus it's holiday time so I loved reading about all the festivals and parties going on. It makes me want to go visit.

4.5 Star review of The Story of Us (Sweetbriar Cove #11) by Melody Grace Melody Grace is a relatively new author to me as I have only read one other book. I thoroughly enjoyed this sweet and romantic story about Natalie Diaz and Luke Kinsella. I love small town romances and this one ticked the boxes for me as I became invested in Natalie and Luke’s story in Sweetbriar Cove. The writing was strong and descriptive and I found myself visualizing Cape Cod as I was reading. Natalie has been burnt by a relationship break up and really has no plans to find love. Luke is struggling to keep his business afloat and the last thing he needs is to fall for a beautiful woman who tempts him with her delicious handmade chocolate truffles. Despite doing their level best to ignore each other and their mutual attraction, Natalie and Luke are continually drawn to one another. The chemistry between them is intense and despite themselves they cannot ignore the build up as it threatens to burst into flames. Will they be able to make their relationship work or will Natalie’s fear of getting hurt again mean that they will part ways? One click and find out.

I love my visits to Sweetbriar Cove and Natalie and Luke’s story is a great addition to one of my favourite series. This author has a knack of making you feel part of this tight knit community that resides in Sweetbriar Cove. Natalie and Luke have met before but when their paths cross again Luke is shocked that she doesn’t remember him because he hasn’t been able to get her out of his mind. What happens next is a man on a mission as Luke does everything in his power to get close to the girl of his dreams but before that can happen Natalie needs to open up and tell Luke about her past with her ex....... This book has all the feels, it has the perfect mix of love and drama , it’s about a couple turning headache into their HEA, it’s well written and it will captivate you from the first page to the last line. Great addition to a great series and I highly recommend it to all lovers of small town romance.
