The Bradens & Montgomerys

Blurb:

Amber Montgomery is perfectly happy with her quiet life. She loves running her bookstore, taking long walks with Reno, her Labrador retriever seizure-response dog, and spending time with her close-knit family. She’s never needed thrills the way some of her sisters have. In an effort to control her epilepsy, she tries to avoid anything that creates too much excitement or stress—including relationships. When Amber hosts a book signing for famed-athlete-turned-author Dash Pennington, he’s everything she’s spent her life avoiding: loud, aggressive, and far too handsome, as proven by the hordes of women who surround him everywhere he goes. Amber can’t ignore the sparks flying between her and Dash, but this is a no-brainer for her: Ignore their chemistry and hold her breath until he leaves town.

Dash Pennington has spent his life running. Running the ball in for a touchdown, running from town to town to appease his public relations reps, and for years, running into the arms of too many women to count. He’s also an expert at protecting—his reputation, his family, and lately, his sanity. But he’s ready to make a change. When he comes to the sleepy little town of Oak Falls, Virginia, and witnesses the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen living the life he craves, she refuses to have anything to do with him. But now that Dash has found the one thing he doesn’t want to run from, he’ll stop at nothing to win her over.

Review:

Ya know, the biggest complaint I’ve seen so far for Foster’s newest is that her hero is just a little too awesome. And … well, I kinda get it. Dash is charming, attractive, smart, and caring. He comes to town, is charmed by Amber’s awkwardness with him, and starts an assault to get her attention that is so adorable. He also starts wooing the people of the town just because he’s that darn awesome. There’s very little fault to find with him so, while that makes a great romance hero, it does make him just a tad too perfect to be real. That doesn’t stop him from being a great book boyfriend though!

Amber is also pretty great on her own. She’s a central figure in her town and takes the time to show people that someone cares. She’s a little nervous about Dash because he’s so big and she needs (or so she thinks) someone a little more quiet. But it doesn’t take long for him to show her she’s wrong and they make a great (and giving) couple.

There’s very little drama to be found here but a lot of heart and heat. Dash and Amber together are sweet but they also set the bed on fire. If you like big characters, small town charm, and a lot of spice on your way to finding HEA, Foster always delivers.

Sweet, Sexy Heart is a stand-alone in an interconnected series but can be read by itself. You’ll likely find hints to a few stories that you’ll want to add to your TBR pile though so this is your warning 🙂
