From The Book Junkie Reads . . . Truly, Madly, Sweetly (Sweet Love, #1) . . .
Truly, Madly, Sweetly completely sums up this read for me. I found the romance to be sweet and sexy. Nat and Eric both inherited a little something that brings them into each others lives. Neither would have guessed that it would lead to more than a simple business arrangement. I got a good story with, as I said, a romance that was sweet and sexy. I did not get me a strong man that could do and be done. I was wanting a strong man, not exactly alpha but stronger than Eric. Nat on the other hand was what I would call a typical female lead.
I was wanting unpredictabilty and that was not what I got, but a good read did follow the ins and outs of this Truly, Madly, Sweetly romance read.

An
inherited parking spot. That’s all it took to make Natalie Moran’s food truck
dreams come true. But her dream space is attached to a bakery inherited by
someone else—drop dead gorgeous Eric Schneider, a financial consultant who
wouldn’t know a cupcake from a cannoli. And he wants to buy Nat out, no matter
what she has to say about it.Eric’s determined to build his own business, but he needs the super cute klutz with the cupcake truck to help. If Nat will teach him the basics of running a bakery, he’ll give her free kitchen time. Except…neither expects the heat burning between them or the possibility that their arrangement might become permanent.
When it all blows up, Nat is convinced his actions mean betrayal. It’s up to Eric to regain her trust and show her he’s a man who is truly, madly in love with her, before she disappears from his life forever.

Nat
leaned back against the counter, her arms folded, a smile already on her face.
“Five…four…three…two…one…”
“Natalie!”
She
broke into a full-toothed grin and poked her head out of the kitchen. Eric was
standing, holding the pint of gelato away from him like it was a snake about to
strike. A large blob of the stuff lay on the floor at his feet with more of it
dribbling down his chin.
“Yes,
Eric?”
He
looked at her, his mouth hanging open. “What the hell did you do?”
She
blinked innocently. “Oh nothing. I just thought you should have something extra
special to celebrate with so I went to that garlic bistro and picked up a pint.
I paid a bit more to have a little extra flavor mixed in. It was a little more
expensive, of course, but nothing is too good for you,” she said, batting her
eyelashes at him.
He
wiped a hand across his mouth. “And exactly what flavor is this?”
“Garlic
and anchovy.”
“What?”
he shrieked.
Nat
grinned wider. “Payback’s a bitch, baby.”
“Oh,
you are so going to pay!” Eric dropped the ice cream and lunged for her.
Nat
shrieked and ran laughing into the kitchen but Eric was hot on her heels. There
really wasn’t anywhere to run. He had her pinned against the sink in under ten
seconds. He scooped a bit of the ice cream off his shirt.
“If
I had to eat it, you do, too,” he said, trying to get the stuff in her mouth.
She
shrieked again and tried to dodge his hands, though it was hard to keep her
mouth closed when she was laughing so hard she could barely breathe. He managed
to get a little in and she immediately spit it back out.
“Oh
my God,” she laughed, “that is truly foul.”
“Ha!
Serves you right, defiling my gelato like that.”
“It’s
better than putting vegetable oil in my glass cleaning solution! That was just mean.
I still can’t get the streaks off that mirror in the bathroom.”
Eric
chuckled and held on tighter when she squirmed to get away. “Okay, okay. I call
a truce.”
Nat
stopped squirming. “You mean it?”
“I
mean it. I’ll stop messing with everything around the kitchen, if you promise
you will never, ever touch my gelato.”
She
laughed and nodded. “Okay, fine, I agree.”
“Good,”
Eric said. But he still didn’t let her go.
They
were breathing hard from their mock battle and both of them suddenly realized
they were molded together, from hip to chest, their arms locked around each
other, their chests heaving in unison with every ragged breath they took.
Eric’s
gaze met hers and he leaned in, slow enough that she could pull away if she
wanted. She should. The smart thing to do would be to push him away. But since
when did her body ever listen to what was smart when it came to Eric?
