Lucy Brewer is a young woman who returns home to Lake Sackett, Georgia after the death of her husband. She has decided to raise her young son in her hometown and transform the local meat shop into a bakery. Her best friend since childhood, Duffy McCready, is now divorced from his harpy of a wife. But what Lucy doesn't know if Duffy has been secretly in love with her for years... Could this return mean a second chance for Lucy?

GIMME SOME SUGAR is the sixth book in the Southern Eclectic  series, but you can read each book on it's own and not be confused. The McCreadys are the center of all the books, and each story deals with one of the McCreadys finding love. In GIMME SOME SUGAR , readers get to see if Lucy and Duffy will get together. There are some obstacles in their way, like a possessive ex-wife and a meddling mother-in-law. But, on the plus side, the McCready family is happy to see Lucy and Duffy finally get together.

I love the humor in these books, mixed with drama and romance. I would say that this series is like an American South version of Jenny Colgan's books. I usually read crime and thrillers, but absolutely adore the Southern Eclectic  series. GIMME SOME SUGAR is the perfect rom-com and will cheer you right up.
