For the month of December, I am going to post about some of my favorite books, favorite authors, and books I just can't forget about. These are all books I'd recommend purchasing for Christmas gifts or for your own enjoyment. Addison Cole is the sweet-romance pen name for author Melissa Cole. She writes humorous and emotional sweet contemporary romance. Her books do not include explicit sex scenes or harsh language. Addison spends her summers on Cape Cod, where she dreams up wonderful love stories in her house overlooking Cape Cod Bay.
I love reading Addison Cole's book knowing that I will find sweet, sexy, and fun characters. The setting of Cape Cod Bay is a favorite and I am always excited when she has a new book coming out. Be sure to read to the bottom to find a GIVEAWAY for some of her amazing books.
The last thing Capital Series Grand Prix racer Hugh Braden wants after dating media-hungry leggy models and money-hungry fan girls is a blind date. But how could he turn down a favor to one of his best friends? Hugh expected the date to go poorly, but he didn’t expect to be intensely attracted to the beautiful brown-eyed bartender who completely blows him off—and steals his every thought thereafter.
When Brianna’s perfectly orchestrated life turns upside down, Hugh is there to help, softening the turmoil, and maybe even rescuing her heart from the lonely place where it has been hiding. Can a man who doesn’t believe in fate and a woman who doesn’t believe in true love find happiness in each other’s arms forever?
And Then There Was Us is a Sweet with Heat novel and conveys all of the passion you'd expect to find between two people in love without any graphic scenes or harsh language. If you're looking for a more explicit romance, pick up the steamy Love in Bloom edition, Hearts at Play, written by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster.

My Thoughts...
Sigh, another wonderful Braden to swoon over. Hugh Braden lives a fast life with his racing, his model girlfriends, and his never-ending traveling. As the rest of his siblings start finding love and settling down, he realizes that the life he never thought he wanted doesn't sound so bad. Little did he realize that settling down included a sweet Brianna and her adorable little girl.
I love how much respect Hugh shows to Brianna and Layla. He understands why he can't just jump into their life, he has to step back and let Brianna have most of the control since it is her daughter but he doesn't let her have all the control. He still charms her, romances her, and makes her fall in love with him all while learning how to open his heart and let her win his heart.
Layla is the true princess of the story. She has the innocence of a child and no one wants to take that away from her. I love how the entire family and friends realize how important she is. They love her entirely, they give her all she needs and many of her wants, they teach her manners, and they expect her to respect others. I like that they teach her real life and let her learn lessons as they come up but they don't expect her to be a grown-up. While I love Brianna and Hugh, Layla is one of my favorites in this story.

My Thoughts…
Addison Cole introduced Savannah Braden to her readers when telling the story of Savannah’s brothers. I have waited to see her find her soul mate and was excited when I learned this was her story. Then I picked up the book and from the very beginning, I knew that it was going to be heartbreaking to read. Jack Remington is broken after losing his wife and there is no easy way to move past that. But Savannah is just the person to help Jack figure out how to start living again.
In true Addison Cole style, I was pulled in, became invested in the characters and their stories, and didn’t stop reading until I learned how Savannah and Jack would be able to come together happily. This book isn’t always easy but it is always true to itself. These two do not play games with each other, they are honest with each other from the very beginning. The attraction is what pulls them to each other in the beginning but their hearts and souls are what helps them work through the toughness of life.
I am a huge fan of the Sweet with Heat series and am always excited to meet new characters and catch up on some of the ones that appeared in past books. I love that each book is a standalone and the series does not have to be read in any specific order.

Lacy Snow wasn’t looking for love when she met strikingly handsome and seductive Dane Braden. But how could she ignore the six-foot-three darkly handsome god who tagged and researched sharks for a living—and made every nerve in her body tangle into an overly sensitive knot? Even her fear of sharks could not suppress their intense attraction.
As the founder of the Brave Foundation, Dane Braden travels from port to port, educating and advocating on behalf of the mammals he adores—and spends his nights finding solace in the arms of strangers. The last thing Dane was looking for when he met Lacy Snow was a relationship, and the last thing he expected was to fall in love.
More than a year—and hundreds of flirty texts, steamy phone calls, and sensual video chats—later, they reunite and take passion to a whole new level. But as Lacy’s phobia meets Dane’s past love life, their steamy romance is upended, and when tragedy strikes, Dane and Lacy are forced to face their deepest fears head-on as they try to navigate their own sea of love.
The Art of Loving Lacy is a Sweet with Heat novel and conveys all of the passion you'd expect to find between two people in love without any graphic scenes or harsh language. If you're looking for a more explicit romance, pick up the steamy Love in Bloom edition, Sea of Love, written by New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster.

My Thoughts…
Addison Cole’s Sweet with Heat series is so amazing. Lacy and Dane’s story is the perfect addition to the series. They are not the perfect couple but they are perfect for each other. They love, respect, and trust each other but they have to work to get there. It wasn’t easy, it wasn’t quick but it was exactly right for Lacy and Dane.
Dane is the type of man that Lacy needs. He protects her, he loves her but he doesn’t let her fears get in the way of her living her best life. He goes way beyond the norm to win Lacy’s heart and trust. His job is what stands between them and he doesn’t force her to accept it, he takes it slow and steady to show her what he does, how he stays safe, and lets her figure out the best way for her to handle it. I love how gentle and understanding Dane was of Lacy’s fear.
This is the perfect addition to the Sweet with Heat series and I can’t wait for more.
