Adeline was the one in the family that would do anything for them. When her grandfather became ill, she was right there to put her accounting business aside and step in to help. Her grandfather owned a chocolate shop. People came from all over just to get some of his fudge. Adeline no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't get it right.

Adeline also has to deal with her mother, Janelle. Janelle wants more than anything to have all three of her daughters married. Janelle is always after Adeline to find a man.

Sinclair grew up in this little town. He and his family lived on the wrong side of the tracks with his grandparents. Sinclair comes to his home town to help his brother out. Sinclair is only planning on staying for a few weeks. Until of course he meets Adeline. At first they don't hit it off that well. As time goes on, they do find that there is a spark. Both of them at first are not willing to go after what they want. Both have different life's styles. Sinclair doesn't want to stay in his home town. Too many bitter memories.

Adeline doesn't want to leave. As much as Adeline tries to make the fudge the way her grandfather does, it is only when Sinclair helps her that it comes out right. SWEET HAVEN is found, both with the fudge and their love life.

For Shirley McCoy this is the first book in a new series. If this is how the rest of the series is going to be, I can't wait. I really like the way that she takes all of the characters, and gives a little background into each of them. Since this book is about fudge, I would say it is a bitter sweet story.

Shirley McCoy tosses in a little mystery, a little romance and a cute puppy named Tiny. What more could anyone ask for. In SWEET HAVEN, you have of course the noisy neighbor who has lived their whole life in this town. Some of the characters are funny in their own way. I can also see who the next books are going to be about. Adeline's two sisters have a short story line in this book, but I am sure they will each have their own story. Along with a young boy Chase who is trying to raise his little sister.

SWEET HAVEN is a wonderful small town read and I'm waiting for the next one, it is a SWEET SURPRISE. (Pun intended)
