her mother who is dying from cancer. She
has not been home for any time since 1996, the night of her senior prom 18
years ago. A family secret sent her
running to her uncle in California, needing to get away. Now she has returned and runs into the date,
Ren Fletcher, from the senior prom that she stood up. She has some fences to mend, bother with her
mother and the date she stood up.
My Review:
There is so much love in this story. Lilian Darcy wrote a book of reconciliation,
forgiving, and falling in love. I was
grabbed by the characters in this book on the very first page and just grew to
love them more and more as each page was turned and each word was read. I felt like I was truly invested in their
future happiness and was cheering them on while reading.
Tully is the strongest character in this book, although
Sugar is right behind her. They both
have to deal with their history and come to terms with what had happen, not
letting their past ruin their futures.
Tully had to come to terms with her mother’s past and how it affected
her, while Sugar had to make amends for how her past affected her entire
family. Neither of these were easy to do
but yet each managed to come out on top. They were both able to forgive and move past,
strengthening their relationships.
Ren was an entirely different type of man. He was just out of a bad marriage and not
sure what life had in store for him. He
was down to earth and normal, yet you knew he was so special. He was able to support Tully in her
decisions without telling her what to do.
Yet, he withheld part of himself from her, not sure he was ready to be
in a relationship. I liked Ren. This was a different type of romance. It was a head spinning, throw me on the floor
and take advantage of me story. There
was sweetness and a discovery of each other type of romance being told. It was a nice change from many romance books.
I highly recommend Lilian Darcy’s The Sweetness. This is a sweet story that has more to it
than what is expected.
