Sara Daniel | Top Five Reasons to Pick Up a Sweet Romance

Here's FIVE reasons to read the romances labeled "sweet." 5. You can read with the dentist looking over your shoulder.
A reader contacted me asking about the heat level of my latest book because she was going to have a crown replaced and planned to read my book during the procedure. However, she didn’t want the dentist to glimpse the words on her e-reader and become distracted while working inside her mouth. Dental catastrophe averted with a sweet romance! 4. You can tell your grandma about the book you’re reading and recommend she read it too.
If your grandma is anything like mine, she is scandalized by the mention of s-e-x, let alone hearing the explicit details. With a sweet romance, you won’t offend her sensibilities…and maybe she’ll even share some of her deliciously sweet romance picks with you. 3. It’s all story all the time.
I’ve read romances—and I bet you have too—where the story action screeches to a stop so the characters can get it on. In a sweet romance, gratuitous scenes aren’t an option, so the story action continues to build in every scene toward that oh-so-satisfying conclusion. 2. You can read what you love.
Small-town? Check. Historical? Check. Urban fantasy, young adult, romantic suspense? Check, check, check. Whatever your preferred subgenre of romance, you can find a sweet story guaranteed to give you the love and romance you’re looking for. 1. There’s no substitute for pure emotion.
Sweet romance is all about the love story and experiencing the high of falling in love and the heartbreak of believing all is lost, only to throw your heart and soul into one last chance at happily ever after. Nothing could be sweeter. Love Him or Leave Him

Connor O'Malley and Becca Sanders were once high school sweethearts, ripped
apart by rumors in the small town of Kortville, Illinois. Connor left to join
the military, and Becca stayed, waiting for her younger brother to graduate so
she could live her dreams of traveling the world. But now that Connor's back as
the town sheriff, Becca finds herself struggling to resist the too–handsome man
who once broke her heart.

Connor loves Kortville—its quaintness keeps at bay the painful memories of
Afghanistan he's sure make him unworthy of any woman, particularly the beautiful
brunette he's always secretly dreamed of a future with. But when a scandal rocks
the town, suddenly Connor and Becca must trust in each other if they want to
weather this storm...and come out on the other side of it together.
